Currently doing Any% Husky and honestly I don't really see much more time being saved. I predict the lowest Husky can go is about 9:35 if played perfectly.
Edit: I was so wrong lol. With my best splits I can get it down to 9:15 at least. I had some runs and it is proving to be extremely difficult. To get a 9:15 I need to finish off target at 4:14. Clear Mansion has been having some issues. I found a strategy but it is hella risky. I am messing up on it a lot. My current goal is to get a sub 9:20. I’ll go from there.
In total, I think a sub 9 is very possible and I would do it if someone else would speed run the game too but idk it is kind of boring to do it by myself.
After some relooking my best splits on Husky is 9:01. But there is definitely room for improvement. I seem to have trouble at taking out the three troops at the barricade in mission 1 and if I play defend the house perfectly I can see these taking the record down to a mid 8:50's at least. Not only this but taking the beach house needs to be all but perfect to get a time of 1:57. Which is most likely the best theoretical split for beach house. It takes literal perfect precision and ammo usage needing to be very careful in not only landing but taking out the sniper at the window and the fourth hidden troop who spawns after you approach the door. And if you do get a perfect horde that is definitely a 10 second save. Off-target can most definitely be done in under 4 minutes but it will take near perfect aim which very well can be done with enough practice. Not only this but there are many troops that can be skipped all together. After getting through the barricades from the house, you can run past all of the troops including the ones passed the stairs. There is no reason to shoot them as it only looses time, with the exception of the sniper at the top of the stairs and the troop inside the final house. You can see where I skip troops in my current best run for reference. This game has a lot that hasn't been explored yet and I am very excited to finally get moving on it.
