Nice run guys! Sucks that the purge illuminate needs so many to complete, looking forwards to your next free colony run with a better seed!
I'm also wondering when the leaderboard will be formatted for each zone, Story mission, Specialty missions and Challenge missions as it's still the same as it was before release, I want to do some runs but with the way it is right now doesn't allow us to, I may do a run and just post the relevant information in the description
I've wanted to do this strat for 'Terminate Illegal Broadcast' for awhile but never had a seed good enough for it, but I ended up finding this blitz seed that worked, had to try a few times cause I kept spawning in the wrong direction, getting that to work was harder than the crossbow shot haha!
Very minor time saver but if you are using grenades to kill yourself in Any%, while you are in the hellpod dropping down if you hit 4 and then use mouse 1 to throw the grenade once you pop up it is slightly faster than using the G key!
Generally we use the crossbow or eruptor to die faster but sometimes it's nicer to run with a real gun rather than struggle with those
Cool to see you go from level 29 to level 57, and D3 to D10 in 10 days, you're doing great!
I'll do a proper run at some point! Rose inspired me to put it up, it was kinda lonely just seeing her run there
Hey man for being level 29 and this being your first run I gotta say you did a pretty good job! Speed running is a lot about knowing the mechanics and tricks, there is a lot to learn but you do learn a lot of it just by playing the game, I look forwards to your speed running journey!

There is also a blog full of speed running tips and general information: https://wiki.blitzdivers.org/ Most of the stuff at the top of the list is higher level stuff but if you scroll down the list there's quite a few pages about speed running in general and strategies, like pre-scouting, map seeds, even breakdowns of armour passives and boosters
