I was messing up with the game having some fun until a crazy idea just popped in my head and... it worked.

I won't claim to be the first to realize you could use the Remote Rocket Laucher (Demolition bonus) to trigger events as I was told on our community discord, after I mentioned my findings, that someone had already gave it a go in the past, but at the time no use was found.

Now, lets talk about the tech I just (for now) named Remote Rocket Trigger (RRT)

The way I see it, the remote rocket is set as a Starfighter (as you can also verify in the com_weap_award_rocket_launcher_ord.odf file), which allows you to use it to trigger events that only the player should.

I've already found two maps where it this tech could help on <Any% w/Bonuses> and <All Missions w/Bonuses>:

You can use it as soon as you start Mygeeto so you can unlock CP4, which is way closer to CP3 (the one you have to capture). It can save 8 to 10 seconds in most cases when comparing to failing all infinte sprint attempts. If you can go really fast on menus, it may be even possible to come really close to a first-try infinte sprint. This strat can be really reliabe if you are going for PBs and not trying a IL WR

1. Spawn as Heavy
2. Quick swap your main weapon to Remote Rocket Laucher
3. Shoot it at CP3 direction
4. TUUUUUUUUURBOOOOO
5. Make it cross the trigger line (see images below)
6. Respawn at CP4

Thanks to @Neveryear now we can see exactly where the trigger is. As long as the rocket enters this purple zone, it will work.

You don't have to make the rocket touch the ground, as long as you cross the trigger line. Anything below the max height should work. You don't have to wait until the camera is back to your character. As soon as trigger is fired, you can already respawn. Sub 2min may not be possible with it, but you do get reeeeeeeaaaaally close and with way more consistency

RRT can be used to trigger the second objective, which could only be done by walking all the way down to the hangar. It saves a couple seconds.

1. Spawn as Heavy
2. Quick swap your main weapon to Remote Rocket Laucher
3. Go to the window
4. Wait until the Objective screen pop up
5. Fire it!

The purple box represents the trigger area. As long as the rocket enter this zone after the objective pops up, you should be fine.

After doing it, you can follow one of these 3 paths: 1. Menu+Respawn+pick another class

• I don't like this one that much because it requires pausing, which can make that time save not even work.
• It does allow you to not even run downstairs as you can spawn in the hangar, but there is no point in doing so as it's a autoscroller event.

2. Swap class without respawning

• Much better if you rather playing with another class, you just need to hug a CP marker and do as you wish.

3. Stay with heavy

• Personal preference. Heavy can do the job just like any other in this objective as it's just a simple autoscroller

Video showing the use off RRT on both maps (note that my piloting skill wasn't the best there, there is some room for optimization) The trigger line shown on Mygeeto is outdated, the accurate one can be found in the Mygeeto section above.

Video with a side-by-side comparison of RRT on both maps. Mygeeto RRT (9twhosaysit) x Mygeeto first try infinte sprint (lako3000) Death Star RRT (9twhosaysit) x Death Star (9twhosaysit)

Edit: Formatting Edit2: Added more accurate images showing the trigger

Seems barely significant in Mygeeto outside of just being MUCH easier to do with consistency.

Definitely seems a lot more useful for Death Star, you could save a decent amount of time since you won't have to wait as long for the rebel waves to spawn.

If your menuing is fast enough, it can be faster on mygeeto... if you don't get a good spawn and first try inf sprint of course.

Absolutely critical for death star, though.

@cevrosa yeah, I do think Mygeeto's RRT is more about the consistency than timesaving. I'm definally using it on any% runs, but I might stick with the infinte sprint for IL. It could be quite usefull on console as they don't have infinte sprint, but I don't know how fast can people run through menus there.

Death Star, on other hand, is indeed an useful (and quite easy) one.

@CernelTeneb I did get a really fast menuing + inf sprint with RRT once, but I didn't record (in my defense, I thought I was ahhaha). It does match with the first try inf sprint. I may try it again someday and compare it with the actual good spawn+infinte sprint. However, a really fast menuing + optimized RRT + infinte sprint at the end isn't that consistent 🙁

If I can jump in, I experimented with this a couple months ago and thought that I could trigger it on mustafar at the end with the gizor delso fight. I can experiment with it a bit more and see if it works the way I want it to later today.

I just updated the original post to include some images with the trigger. Now it should be much better :)
