It feels like there should be a category without perks, as they kind of gatekeep these speedruns behind actually unlocking everything. Gameplay with perks is also vastly different than without them considering the high agility, and joke rifle perks.

I have been thinking about this for a while now but we had no one interested in this at the time, I have now added the option to select no perks

Does the no perks category disallow burdens as well? Because killing the gold centipede from Pursued in Apex Predator would change the route quite a bit, and I imagine Hunted would save some time in Scavenger Hunt and stuff.

I think burdens should probably be allowed since they aren't that game changing and without them runs might be a lot longer.

I feel like removing burdens would make even less people want to run it.

I don't think it would affect the game too much but if there's a burden that's always used in a category, disallowing burdens could create some variety. And I think having a different route for Apex Predator could be more interesting.

I would be pretty surprised if any amount of people start seriously running apex predator

I was going to run that, that's why I asked.

I'm okay with burdens being disallowed

Also might want to update the rules on the perkless category because currently it says that perks are allowed and also not allowed

Did they just change this or has it always been like this?

they just changed it

Cool

Yes as recap we updated the settings and will not be allowing the burdens either

Except for the Doomed Burden of course
