--<| INTRODUCTION |>--
This guide is intended to walk you through making a profile optimized for use in Individual Level Speedruns. The goal here is to get all weapons, upgrades, grenades, and full ammo asap. Then maintain those counts throughout the rest of the game so when you go back to replay these levels you have the best arsenal possible. The purchases listed and items collected will be the same for any difficulty, but killing enemies will obviously take much longer on NOS. You will be using the mining laser alot to conserve ammo!
