How are you able to move before the timer starts? I've been trying to get the glitch to work but I can't figure it out

Is there a floor anywhere under the map that we could walk on? This is definitely a cool glitch but if there is nothing to stand on I don't see how this would help, unless we could clip into a wall to trigger a cut scene, or skip into another room

@TheToastyFail Do you think it's worth it to get the op weapons and then death warp back to the start to beat the game? I've beat the game twice causally, first on normal and then on hard. I didn't have much trouble with fights, although my second fight at the church did not go well. I wonder if there are any cheese spots like the bridge in Dying light 1

This is really cool, all we have to do is find a way to trick the game into thinking we've already completed the first area. I don't know how that would be possible, what happens if you die after getting out of the tunnel, where does it respawn you?

Thank you for the reply

I was looking in to running the Co-op Any%. Are there any restrictions on character level? For instance if I play as new play through with a lvl 1 Zero and my run partner uses a lvl 70 Gaige would that be allowed? He thinks it would be unethical because of how easy the run would be, but the rules don't specify. Any feedback would be a huge help.
