Have any questions about running in the any% or glitchless category, or did you come across something and you are not sure in which category it belongs to, just let us know and ask away.

Post by AnthonyCaliber OK so I've been doing this for a while but I don't think I ever confirmed it with the community. Is the push that the guy in the hallway gives you allowed in glitchless? (go to around 11:28 in the attached video to see). He doesn't always launch you across the hallway. There's no way to do that intentionally. It just sometimes happens. Most of the time it's a gentle nudge forward and then you don't get blocked later on by Tess. Getting past the guy isn't as easy as it looks and it's a nice time save. Also we already allow the "launching" after you exit a crouch in an enclosed space so I don't think it should be a glitch.

Also at around 1:33:32 I got this weird occurrence with Henry. He teleported through the stairs above me and opened the door saving around 7 or 8 seconds. I have no idea why or how it happened. If we find a way for this to happen all the time and trigger it intentionally, would it be allowed in glitchless? It might just be something as simple as getting a certain distance away from him or something with the camera angle.

Post by AnthonyCaliber This one's nice. Discovered by twitch user Soviet_Jedi. Similar to getting all your supplies back after a restart encounter in the high school, you get to keep all the supplies you used outside of the high school if you die via a bomb, while taking the last infected with you. It also places you right in front of the bus and gives you a free nail bomb if you toss one aside before you die. In my opinion it's a glitch, but damn do I wanna use this in one of my glitchless runs.

Mattmatt10111: Hmmm if you died and it respawned you i dont see a problem with it, but it seems like it just places you infront of the bus without you dying, kinda like what happens when you get killed in the robert cutscene, u die but pop straight back, and the same thing happens here so i think its a glitch purely for that fact, if you died and actually respawned you it would be fine by me, but you dont :/

Post by Soviet_Jedi These 3 jumps are in the gray area. You're not necessarily going out of bounds, but at the same time you're not playing this section of the game the way the devs intended you to. Thoughts?

Lek: Well I dont see the problem in using it. Its not OoB or glitch. It is just and over looked jump.

Soviet_Jedi: True - but the mods have banned trivial jumps in the past such as the cart skip right after completing the financial district fight. Turns out you don't even need the cart - you can just use the corner of the ledge and Ellie will spawn next to you once you trigger the next cutscene. Wanted to check with the community before trying it out in runs..

M_TTHEW: "23 Jump Street" was discussed some time ago. We all agreed that it wouldn't be allowed in Glitchless. However the mods should allow the other jump, as it seems you're not even going out of bounds at all.

ruudf89: 21 seems similar to 23 right? I guess you are just tapping X to get across that 'sort of invisible' wall. Both work the same? What's the proces of 22?

Soviet_Jedi: both 21 and 23 use the same pathway since there's an opening in that exact spot which lets you either to jump down from the 2nd floor by tapping X or Joel will fall down himself but that's a bit more finnicky and you lose a bit of health too. There's another possible way of doing it but again - you lose a bit of health. As for 22 - what you want to do is approach the same spot from which I made the jump except you want to crouch before you tap X to jump. When you're in the air, tap both X and O (don't know why O plays a role here, but it works for some reason)

Case and point:

ruudf89: Sorry if you were misinformed before, these jumps can't be allowed due to the ledge being an invisible wall of some kind. Check the guide for the latest updates

Hey guys,

I've not been actively running for around 6 months now & picked it up again today. The leaderboards don't show difficulties anymore for glitchless. Can anybody inform me as to why this is?

Thanks!

Because it didn't seem worth it to have all difficulties in the categories. Easy mode will always be the fastest. There were still a few grounded runs, which we kept for the challenge.

Ah that's a shame. I enjoyed the idea of getting a top run for each difficulty.

^ Thats another reason why it was removed, being able to get to many pointless WR's for each difficulty.
