Hey guys,
Lately whenever I try to speedrun there are 2 things happening a lot! Sometimes the points do not get triggered or a character get stuck which makes it, I guess this is the right word, softlock.(?) Biggest problem I am facing is that it happens like 3/5 times in the first level after you take down the gunner in the hut at the beach. If it doesn't happen there it will happen somewhere else in the run and makes it a pain in the ass to run.
Greetings, Bucket
1: Make sure you're killing all NPCs that can be killed in the area CHECK YOUR MINI MAP 2: If you're still stuck, backtrack a bit, sometimes you've passed over the "trigger brush" before it was activated so it didn't get triggered. 3: If you're on STEAM (NOT CRACKED) or Legit brought from the disk you'll never need to worry about being upto date since Steam handles this. 4: If by chance you're getting friendly NPCs sitting behind cover and shooting every now and then it's because they know an enemy NPC is in the area. Just go look yourself.
The spawn locations for the first half of the first mission are pretty static as it's considered a tutorial mission.
I'm still working on finding time outside of work to make some guides and optimizing my own runs for this game, I would Twitch it but not many people seem to be around when I stream.
Either or, the 1-4 steps WILL 100% of the time fix any "soft locks" you think you're having.
I guess it is the trigger brush you are talking about. The weird part about it is that the rest of my crew already walked further and are ready for the ambush. But we'll see what happens. Right now I am just waiting until I have the mood to step inside a game with that much RNG again. Some levels just hate me so much, haha.
About those guides, maybe it is a good idea to do one stream where you are explaining (in every detail possible) how to do every level separately. That way new runners or complete fucktards like me can take the time and sit through a video and see what to do where and why.
