a list of all exploits found so far, starting from the most relevant to least. I will also post some strats that i think are almost necessary to know as a speedrunner who takes this game more seriously.

1. Medkit invunlerability. If you equip any Medkit and an entity collides and kills you, you Instead will ignore the Damage and obliterate any enemy that could deal more damage than the HP you have at the time. This works because the game refuses to kill you when a medkit is Equipped. Furthermore you won't even lose health at all and instead gain full health back instantly since the game does that when you die. This glitch has massive potential, it seems way more useful the later you are in the run, because later a lot of enemies can one shot you.

Downside: you will not gain any EXP from the enemies killed!

note: This does not seem combinable at all with revenge destroyers, as they activate just like medkits do and have nothing to do with you dying. The only reason why the medkit glitch works is cause they game absolutely hates to see you dead while having a medkit equipped.

2. Broken AI Path glitch. In lv 12 there is a particular room with 6 orange silos spawning robots. Using the medkit invulnerability and running straight into the upper right silo lets you destroy it before the first robot even spawns. Once the silo is destroyed go slightly upward to make sure youre in position. In this spot no enemy can attack you. The robots seem to not know where to go even more bizzarre: Airplanes just appear to not go toward you at all and seem to just totally freeze in time. I'm not aware of any other spots thoguh i recall it happening before somewhere. I assume the AI including the airplanes think youre dead, as it is fairly close to the edge and the silo aswell may screw around with it. Edit: in mission 13, immediately where you first meet enemies on the platform you come in on the very bottom right of it this can be abused aswell. (the most "modern" runs already have it in them)

3. super cheap medkits for some reason the level of secondary items is based on the mission youre in. This allows to go back to mission 1 any time to buy as many lv 1 Medkits as you need, each costing only about 300-400 bucks. It doesnt matter which level the medkit is when using invulnerability, making lv 1 and 8 near equally useful.

4. Double Armor and Shield recharge. Switch shield charge with riot shields in every room to combine both. I know what you think. 2 shield chargers and 2 riot shields right? BAD (sort of) How about this: 4 Riot Shields and 4 shield chargers. impossible you say? - equip the riot shields while fighting, after the first is over there is about a half second window to bring up your inventory menu. switch all riot shields with your shield chargers and you can potentially double your armor and shield recharge per room. Downside of course.. it takes time to switch all of those. Do this whenever youre in danger and save up your shields and chargers, unless you can afford a laser or a bigger charger or similar. (depends on the situation but generally speaking i'd say lasers are the most important thing, especially in somewhat earlier missions.

5. Traps. Traps are your best friends in this game. Why?

• try not to break any boxes in a room before cleaning it from enemies
• once you get your shield charge after cleaning a room shoot all of the boxes that survived, each box as a 5% or so chance of spawning a trap. A trap cleaned counts as a FULL ROOM CLEANED and gives you an extra shield charge.

6. fastest EXP farm. Using the glitch mentioned in point 3. you can have a very fast (perhaps the fastest) and an easy way to gain EXP in this room:

• perform the glitch mentioned in point 3 and get into position. Kill all robots, multiple hit guns and especially lasers are recommended for this. After you kill the last robot and your EXP bar counted all the way up, run directly off of the stage.
• this willl guarantee the room will be overtaken by the robots again.
• this makes it possible to perform the glitch over and over leveling up way faster than anywhere else possible in the game.
• this may be extremely useful as using the medkit invulnerability messes with your level. And of course possibly in other categories such as 100%.
• orange robots seem to give the highest amount of EXP relative to their strength, green enemies generally dont give much for some reason and small bugs in general dont seem to give much either in any case even if orange.

7. rare weapon farming. When reaching lv 25 or 30 you can go back to mission 9 and farm Rare weapons by going up at the start room, picking up the key, immedeately walking off the edge end going all way to the right and grabbing the rare weapon inside the chest. Then you warp back to the vendor, go up and fall off again to save your progress. Now go back to main menu and repeat the process. The higher your level the better the weapons.

8. Restock vendor At the beginning of any mission, if you die and quit to main menu and reenter the mission (or any other) the items will be restocked.
