Context, I just beat the game casually and then closed the game. Reopened it (while recording) and reset data to do a Story Mode New Save speedrun. Wasn't happy with the starting so reset data again, next time I picked up the gun thing I was autofiring from the 2nd weapon.

I haven't been able to replicate this.

If this could be done just from getting the 2nd weapon, resetting data twice in this weird way, would that even be allowed for New Save?

Thanks.

if it can't be replicated then its whatever - whether its allowed or not doesn't matter

if it can, i'd say it should be allowed, it would have a tiny impact in new save as i strongly suspect that maining prime gun is the fastest route

yeah fair enough, I never even considered maining the prime gun haha I'll try a few runs with that and see.

Just finished a run, a chance to try this glitch again I suppose. Everytime I tried it without beating the game didn't really work, might just require a chapter complete instead of entire game but who knows. I hope I get it again
