Into the breach Softlock

Interestingly there's a really easy softlock that can be triggered by killing the 3 Arm of Orion soldiers that spawn after Matthews 
disables the first jammer really quickly (by quickly i mean as soon as the spawn) and it for some reason doesnt trigger the next set of Arm soldiers to spawn or for Matthews to move

Salvador/Engineers Quick Kills

During the run prepare a 4/4 Tungsten Coating, 4/4 Gyro Staibilizer and 2/4 Shield Generator (or alternatively lock-on extender). Using this in the second half of the game is probably faster than continueing running fast as checkpoints will require you to destroy/kill stuff.

Riot Shotgun does by far the most damage, The engineers fight takes not more than one clip if everything hits from close range (around 20s).

As for Salvador, getting him stuck inside the room prevents him from knocking you back very far, which optimizes your shotgun hits. You can hit him quick enough so he never does anything (though I haven't managed that yet) and you can shoot him once from close range immediately after Grapple.

Kill is at 1:15

You get the swag bonus of getting dialogue during the curscene/credits because dialogue doesn't trigger until Salvador leaves the room.

Short Basic Guide

Mission 1 – Answers

Not much here. Follow the tutorial, set up the following Set under Set [1]

Gyro Stabilizer	III
Tungsten Rounds	III
Polarity Charger 	IIII

Grenades and Repair Tool

Preferably after leaving the shooting range.

For the obstacle course and all throughout the game you can quickly tap space to elongate your jetpack boost, which is quite fast, but not as fast as Overdrive.

Overdrive, the sprint mechanic in Section 8: Prejudice, has a build up time of around 3 seconds. Try to build up the sprint in narrow areas such as between doors, so you can immediately sprint. You can sprint through almost all enemies, one hit killing them. Until later in the game where Captains and Lieutenants show up, which have more health. Overdrive works as long as you don’t run out of sprint or use your jetpack (you can do baby jumps and continue sprinting. If you bump into anything, you lose your overdrive, so movement is important and in some locations you will NEED your sprint to get through, so you might have to hold back sometimes.

Follow the objectives and do nothing but the objectives. You can skip most enemies by simply running past them. Some objectives you only need to run past to trigger, so keep running!

Most of the game is knowing where enemies spawn, which you will find out by playing it.

Mission 2 – Into the Breach

This second mission features red areas on your minimap, you can go to these areas but you’ll die within 6 seconds. So what you can do is run into it when you know the area is going to open up 5 seconds later. This way you can save 5 seconds each time!

This level you also get a second set, which you can set up to do maximum amount of damage for the latter half of the game. This will be Set [2]. WARNING: The sets change automatically to the next unlocked set, like when you get new weapons Set [3] will become activated. You have to switch back to Set [1] (or Set [2]).

Gyro Stabilizer	IIII
Tungsten Rounds	IIII
Polarity Charger 	II

Grenades and Crash Mortar.

After doing the sniper part, you should pick up a Rocket Launcher and a Sniper Rifle with Set [1] stats. This way you can take out convoys with 2 Rocket Launcher shots and one sniper shot and you won’t have to reload for the rest of the level until you get to the refinery.

Until the mission For The Wicked (Mission 5) use Set [1] with AR Automation Mod and Sniper Rifle.
At the start of For the Wicked, switch to Set [2] with AR Automation and Sniper. Place the turrets you can buy at positions to spawnkill enemies. The NPC allies can hit and kill enemies, so try to snipe enemies once and let your teammates finish them. Halfway through the level you get mechs, use them. They do more damage. 

Once the Pulse Cannon is unlocked, switch your weapons to the Riot Shotgun and Machine Gun with Crash Rounds. These will melt through everything very fast. Shotgun on bosses is practically instant kill if you do it good/close enough.
Now you just need to finish the game! Good luck!

PS. These are just suggestions, maybe using max damage throughout the game is actually the most timesaving. I tested a bit of it, but not all of it. It’s just that the first levels require a lot more travelling before shooting, whereas the latter half is mainly shooting with only small walks.
