Jill running speed
3 years ago
Lorraine, France

Hi everybody ^^

I've seen some runs with Jill running on caution all the time and also other runs where they heal her. So my question is simple : does Jill run faster ? Is it worth it to run on caution for the entire run basically ? I tried to find the info somewhere here but I coudn't, this is why Im asking here. Thanks for your answers ^^

(Playing on Xbox One X, supposely 60fps)

Oh something else I have noticed. How come some runs played on fat PS4 are actually faster than PS4Pro or Xbox One X ? Like what the heck ? What's their framerate exactly ? I was just wondering, isn't it supposed to be 30fps on those systems ? Just curious ^^ Thanks for your answers and your time :-)

Jill runs faster in caution.

Run times are determined by more than console used.

Jill does run faster in Caution, yeah. Not as fast as Claire was in RE2R though. Also, all consoles run at 30 FPS at the lowest and 60 at the highest (obviously), the game likes to jump a lot between 30 and 60.

Is it really worth it to take damage on purpose to be on caution then ? Is the speed difference still "big enough" ?

Ok I figured... It's just that I find Jill harder to control on Caution (with a controller), doing the perfect lines, quick turns and stuff feels bad lol

@xDrHelix Yo t'es français toi aussi ? cool ^^ Pas loin en plus, en Alsace ^^ Pretty cool to see another french guy in here ^^ I'll follow your Twitch channel :-)

Maybe I'm wrong but didn't see somebody trying to be beaten at the begginin of the sr like in RE2.

Maybe it will be a strat in the future, let's see

Ah ok

I suppose it's not worth it then, interesting

If you can get into cation quickly, Itll be faster in the end. Unfortunately, unlike re2r, you need to find a quick way to get into caution twice. After/during the deimos and after defending jill area atleast those 2 places. I have no idea how much faster it is in the end, but it seems everyone does it.

"but it seems everyone does it"

Ok forget what i said, didn't see it was already a strat

Just watch the beggining of TheNevs speedrun, the wr on standard. So yes it seems clearly to be a strat. It first get damaged by the first gasoline barrel (clean the area and get him on caution). Next time doesn't seems to be on purpose but he get damaged by that thing whatever the fuck is that during the 4 generator phase.

So yes, like kniferun said it's a strat, not optimal for the moment i guess (@kniferun you can even say 3 times i suppose, cause you have to take an herb after get poisoned, and it can take you back to normal status, correct me if i'm wrong).

Would wait until after the deimos or hope for the deimos to damage you to caution. Also heading to collect the fuses have the pale head bite you into caution. those are the only 2 though.

I think

i would think there is a time wasted getting bitten

worth a check out dangerous during hardcore runs tho

The time wasted getting into caution is canceled out by the time gain of being in caution.

The time spent taking the bite pays off. Jill and Carlos both will move faster when in Caution as their hobble has a longer stride than their normal jog. Over time it adds up in time saved.

I just shaved 41 seconds off of an NG+ Inferno run by using this on Xbox.

Using the barrel puts you into low caution, so later on in power station it only takes 1 hit to put you back into caution. That whole strat was entirely intentional.

The only time it’s worthwhile not being in caution is if you run inferno because zombies will kill you from caution, so for safety reasons they run in fine to my understanding. Caution is only like 3% faster than fine, so it’s only going to save you time if you can maintain it for the majority of the run

ah noticed something must check again.. jill danger 337HP stairs dont look like they slow her down.

I dont think carlos runs any faster in caution, I dont think he runs any slower either though.

What if we let the deimos infection take us down to danger, and then use a single green herb to heal back to caution? I just went into deimos cutscene at caution and after healing I was still in caution. I can only assume the parasite made me low enough to not heal past it. This was in assisted btw

If you use a herb at orange caution it will bring you up to yellow caution. Waiting for infection to bring you to danger will possibly take to long. Unless you are in orange caution anyways which a herb will bring you to yellow caution anyways.

Takes far too long for Deimos to put you in danger from the infection. Jill cannot dodge or run and whenever you eventually get into danger, you then have to throw up, by this time you’ve probably made it just before the first generator and wasted about 30seconds at least.

Just get yourself into low caution via the barrel and then u shud still be in caution after the forced use of a herb in power station.
