Hello,

Since a while I want to get into BL2 speedruns, but never got into it. Now since I want to actually start I find I have myself some problems. I am going to list them down and hope people can help me with it.

1. The auto splitter of the current LiveSplit version does not split and if I downgrade it with the .dll from Funcannon's guide it is glitching out. (I can provide a gif of what it is doing if you guys want to.)

2. I am getting way to many "Tutorial" stuff popping up. Any way to get rid of all/some of them? It might have to do with DLC?

3. Is there by any chance a mod/cheat/glitch which gives me infinite grenades? I want to learn proper grenade jumping, but I can't do that with the grenades I find on the ground.

If I have any more questions I will post them in here! I really hope you guys can help me out!

EDIT: I found the LiveSplit fix!

Thank you for welcoming me in to the BL2 community!

2. I gave a look and it indeed gives me less messages but it still gives me pop ups about getting a grenade mod at the start of the game, golden keys I can use and other (probably DLC) things at the start of the run and when I open the menu for the first time. Maybe some specific DLC you guys turn off in the run? (I am aiming towards learning any% w/DLC (Gaige)

3. Cheatengine works fine now! Took some time to get it to work, but at least I can practise some grenade jumps for whenever I am going to run it! (Hopefully I can start running somewhere tomorrow!)

2. Use all of the keys in the chest in sanctuary or you get the pop up, tutorial messages should be off, uninstall creature dome, creature slaughterdome pack, Collectors edition and collectors edition pack. you will still have guns and relic, but with only one pop up at the start of the run.

Hope it helps!

2. Yes! That helped perfectly! Indeed just the one message now!

In the meantime I got one more question which is probably my last as well!

4. The out of bound skips I saw, do they save minutes or literal hours of gameplay? I am asking this since otherwise I will first learn how to properly do weapon glitches and the level route before puting a lot of focus on the out of bound skips.

Thank you all so much for the quick answers!

Bloodshot saves between 5-10+ minutes depending on your shotgun, id definitely recommend mechanics(swapping mainly,super simple) and route, OOB skips are pretty easy once you learn the path. Bloodwing is also ~2 minutes saved not huge but worth it. Id also recommend joining the discord, it can be a wealth of info and fast answers for questions that are outside of the tutorial vids by funcannon ¤generaly¤.

Ah, alright! So for a first run it is definitely not the worst thing to skip the OOB skips?! Nice to know! That will probably mean I can begin with a couple runs tomorrow already!

I will directly also join the Discord. Thanks for all the help, guys!

I've hit a 2:55 and I barely did any skips, I think the only one I did was Bloodwing skip. They're not super important at first.

I am hitting my head lately on the end game starting of at the RNG split.

Not knowing any replacement weapons like snipers and shotguns. This results into being underpowered for the endgame and me not being able to finish my first run.

Any tips or tricks?

I'm a coop runner, not a solo runner, so I don't quite know for the solo run, but you could check places like Overlook for a better shotgun/extra snipers for crit. You could also check Wildlife Exploitation Preserve for a better amp.

Thanks! I will write that down!
