Hello, I'm new to the entire speedrunning community, but I think I'd be interested in doing an any% current patch run. Just am curious as to if anyone has any tips or tricks on what I should be doing because it is not a widely ran category. I plan on starting runs after I take my finals (in about 2 weeks or so). Also I was doing some research to find out what glitches are available in the current patch that would be useful for a speedrun. There seems to be minimal content on the web so if anyone has any links to informational pages on current patch that would be great. Thank You!

Maya is the best class since Cloud Kill is overpowered on current patch. You'll want to farm xp from mutated Badass Varkids in order to not die later in the run due to level differential.

Good luck. There's a good reason people don't run current patch.

Alright thank you! I'll give it a shot who knows, maybe with somebody actually running the category new things can be found to make the run more exciting.

I had a thought that running current patch with DLC to level early might make the grind a little less awful, Thoughts?

For getting to level 3 via digistruct peak? It's not an official category and DLC is already accepted in some categories so go for it if that's the category you want to create.

Alright, also I'm pretty sure there are a few quests you can get in tiny tina's which boost you to like level 7 or something, might be interesting

I'd definitely consider any DLC as an option as the category isn't defined yet. If it makes it more interesting and it gets competitive it can be made into something more official with rules
