I was running LeonA once and managed to skip the part where Leon attempts to make contact with Marvin outside the RPD right after you talk to Claire through the fence. I don't know how I did it, but it let me go straight to cutting the chain and on through the door. I was wondering if anyone knows a strat to make this consistent or was it just a one-time fluke. Unfortunately, I don't have any video or evidence otherwise that this happened. I wish I did because then I could analyze the footage and figure out what I did.

Hmm. I’ll try that. Maybe that’s what I did.

No NG speedrunner did that. But if that's can only be done with Rocket L then it will be NG+ category only.

I wonder if grenade can do that. Must try.

I think a grenade might take too long to go off tho

Aw you are so right. I have no grenade at that time.
