So as you may know there was a little trick with booming voice in combination with gadgets, because instead of being bound to actually aiming it was bound to right mouse, so you could sprint and intimidate every 3 seconds or so, this now got patched very recently and no longer applies. It was accidentally nerfed on convergence's release when ADS slowdown was added, which I reported. This slowdown also got patched, but sprint intimidating was taken out with it. it might actually be joever hellmetters

So for a dawnbreaker run i have used overcharge to reach specifically the first checkpoint quicker. mostly to cut out the rng nonsense that the level has, and not deal with a horde. I also use overcharge for my other speedruns to reach extraction faster. Due to using a checkpoint and the fact it is outdated now, I have not submitted it.

Using overcharge outside of extraction and extreme lag kills you, and you need to retry and go through a loading screen that can vary depending on your pc's performance and internet connection. Not to mention the game currently suffers from a bug where the mouse is hidden taking off even more time, so getting to the point I'm wondering if we just pause the timer during the game over screen and then unpause it after we load in again, just so these loading times don't require a decent pc and going blindfolded with your mouse.

Wouldn't killing yourself with an extension ladder or the dropship also count? Cause under rules it seems to only mention forest giants, and I am kind of wondering why this is?
