Main Rules

• Runs must have video footage with game audio, and must be at a minimum of 30fps
• Runs must be performed on the current patch of the game
• Runs must be completed single segment

Bans & Restrictions

- Glitches performed outside of the campaign

This applies to 500% Core, Health, 2.5x damage, or any other glitch acquired outside of a run setting, most typically from a multiplayer private match. Any% Core Glitch is exempt from 500% Core and Health glitch restrictions.

- Macros

Any software or hardware used to input more actions than you would normally be able to do with a single input.

- Modification of in-game files

This includes launching the game via icepick, vpk mods, and any other imaginable form of modification. For a whitelist of accepted custom.cfg and launch option commands, CLICK HERE!

- Zweek's Speedrun Menu Mod is excluded from the above rule and is allowed.

- Digital to Analogue or Analogue to Digital Input Emulation (DA/ADIE)

Digital and analogue inputs may not be emulated as their counterparts under any circumstances. Examples include software that emulates WASD directional inputs as analogue stick presses, or hardware like the XIM adapter for consoles. Compatibility software that allows for a variety of controllers to be used on PC, such as InputMapper or DS4Windows are acceptable, as they don't change the received input type (Analogue -> Analogue). Using software to bind controller D-Pads to WASD inputs is also accepted, as they don't change received input type (Digital -> Digital).

- Every bound key on your keyboard must be digital and have a set actuation point and release point

Any keyboard that by design deviates from this default behavior is banned. For example, Wooting keyboards are not allowed due to their analog keypress and rapid trigger functionalities.

- Changing languages during a run is not permitted.

- Max FPS must be capped between 30 and 144.
