XP Rank 10 (Co-op) • I had XP Rank 10 in all categories, except Co-op which was at Rank 9. I did eventually, like half way through the run, rank up to 10 in the Co-op category. This is incredibly significant due to the perk that you unlock: "Proximity Recharge: You regenerate Ambrosia when near teammates."
XP Rank 10 (Assault) • Also having Rank 10 in the Assault category helps quite a bit since now Melee Attacks can easily tear through enemies, at least in early parts with the less armored enemies.
Character: Shade • In this run I use Shade, which has the best stats in Light Weapons: Speed, Sprint Stamina, Weapon Handling and Accuracy.
Due to this I try to, as much as possible, have a Grenade out when I need to run somewhere without enemies. It is very fast and efficient. I won't always have Grenades available due to using all of them sometimes. So perhaps it's more optimal to always save 1 Grenade for optimal movement outside of combat.
He also has Static Shield, and not Dynamic Shield which Amp has. While Dynamic Shield is fantastic to run past enemies, it is rarely used as such anyway. You usually need to kill all enemies regardless, but still pretty good. Instead using Static Shield makes it so you can manually place down your shield and have shoot or whatever as you please.
Level 4 (Timeloss) • Level 4 was quite bad. When comparing this run of Level 4 to that of my practice run of, prior to this run, I lost 1m 23s. So not the best, but it's to be expected since it's the hardest Level of the whole run.
Far From Perfect • However, this is far from a perfect run. I would estimate that:
Sub 1:50 = Good Around 1:45 to 1:40 = Very Good
