have to goto the dome first before courthouse for the gas glitch.
in the dome there's a RE after the cutscene with the canister, which moves the trolly half way to where it needs to go. Note that i pick up the ammo and bottle after the restart. because picking them up before hand doesn't save them in your inventory. cant remember if its a known thing for Tlou or recent issue with the game.
afterwards, make your way to the courthouse. goto the garage. you must restart encounter for the glitch to work. then make your way over to the fuel tank.
You Can get hit out of the filling cutscene, which at that point you can move around. But you'll enter a state in which you cant aim, dodge, attack, pickup etc. only jump over stuff, until the cutscene is done an your backpack is on your back again. i dont really recommend getting hit.
one Down side to this, Dont get hit while pulling the chain to open the garage door. your game Will crash lol
this was done on Very light difficulty, an it's free as long as you Hug the right wall all the way to the van you jump over to get to the fuel tank
Well we probably aren't going to have a glitchless category unless we find some major skips so probably not but I don't see what is a glitch about this? You aren't breaking the AI or doing anything that glitches out the game by RE'ing.
it does glitch out the game tho, because you cant interact with the fuel tank unless you restart the encounter. when you do, the game thinks you've killed the infected. an as i mentioned the game trips out when you get hit doing either fuel or garage door interaction cus the infected are suppose to be dead
idk how a strat that saves time overall became a debate about consistency. if you fill the canister without being bothered by a runner. cool. if not, an have to shoot one losing a few seconds. cool. if you're Really struggling with it, pick up the stun bomb before climbing down the elevator an use it. either way your saving time ¯_(ツ)_/¯
