Discuss UC3 here. New strats, glitches, ideas. Anything you want!

So I found a way to launch the camera through walls and hit loading triggers and stuff. Haven't tested it much, but it seems like it could be useful in a few places.

This is pretty hard, but it definitely feels somewhat consistent after some practice.  The hardest part is jumping right when the ground unloads.
If you do this right when entering the area, it should skip the fight where you meet up with Sully and the block pattern puzzle and stuff.

Edit: If you go out of bounds during the fight with sully, all the enemies in the area fall to their deaths and it's actually the greatest thing I've ever seen

Awesome work Oven; can't hear the sound at work, but I'll check them out when I get home. \o/

(Awesome run at AGDQ, btw. \o/)

Such a hard skip. Froze my PS3 once and the last part to unload the area is ridiculously difficult. Add in the enemies attacking you while you clip out and it's insane. Not worth the 2 minutes it saves in an SS.

findle showed something similar in Chapter 14 and I found the camera launch glitch months ago but I didn't upload a video because it seemed useless. It does mean I'll have to go over the whole game and recheck potential area for a loading trigger going up and downwards.

Anyone has a little tip for me? I have some ideas with this technic but i can't really get it. Not sure what i do wrong.

If you are having trouble with the clip out the key is to make sure you get the camera as low as you can once it clips out. I might be totally wrong but I can only get it to consistently work when I have the left gun equipped. It seems way harder if you have the right gun (like an AK) equipped then it becomes harder.

If you need help with the other stages then sorry, I'm in as a difficult spot as you.

Probably gonna stream if you want to watch and share ideas for it.

So I got a great idea to change the camera angle but it was really hard. marc then suggested to pause buffer it and now the skip is really easy.

TEAMWORK!!!!!

Had some interesting oobs today. Firing your two handed gun while in cover at specific angles lead to like 3-4 oobs in different levels.

16: The end fight area has cover on the left side that all works and get you stuck in the fence, so close to awesome skip.

8: The fight that is skipped with the aim breach has a ledge area that works.

The spiral staircase area.

The ending fight area of 8 where you have the gaps in the floor.

I'll upload a video tomorrow. Might lead to something.

That is pretty ridiculous, definitely not something found during development. This may open up a lot more possibilities, I have a rough mental image where most of triggers of checkpoints are in this game since our debug tool showed them if needed. Unfortunately I do not have a lot of time to test around, but definitely keep these coming.

Also if you decide to do a full speedrun with a bunch of these tricks and do a really good run, there is a good chance the game will crash, lol.

There's a hella weird glitch in chapter 3, and one of two things triggers this.
Either do the falling awning jump in only 3 awnings instead of four (this is possible), or don't use the AC to jump up to the next balcony seconds later. It skips the cutscene and doesn't load the slifing roof sequence, rather nothing in that area properly loads.

I'm coming back to speedrunning UC3, and i can thank jesus christ for that 16 skip
