### Text Mashing

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9rZWF53tIUUMashing textboxes in dialogue mode is significally faster when mashing with both ENTER on the keyboard and Left Mouse Button.
Not really a glitch but in speedruns you want to go fast, and thus abuse as many mechanics as you can.
It works like this because you're basically upping the input frequency, making boxes scroll by very fast.

### coc Warp

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqF7NUDQ6Ik

When an object or actor falls out of bounds and into the void in the bethesda gamebryo engine it will respawn in a pre determined spot on the map called the "CoC" (Center on Cell).
This isn't as much as a glitch as it is exploiting an engine failsafe mechanic.
This can be useful in speedruns to speed up backtracking, or to go somewhere you want on a map faster.

### Reload Dashing
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCKYpbLuz8E

Reload Dashing is a Fallout: New Vegas glitch that allows you to slingshot yourself in a direction very fast.

To perform the glitch, get a weapon with a one-by-one bullet reload animation (.357 Magnum Revolver, Cowboy Repeater, Hunting Shotgun etc) and two different ammo types that fit the weapon. Then simply bring up the gun, move in a direction, swap ammo and bring up the pipboy, unequip the gun and bring the pipboy down again (Whilst still holding the movement key).

If you did it right you will have ridiculous speed for a second, and by binding your gun to a hotkey you can bring it up again and repeat the process for fast chaining.

The fastest way of doing dashes is actually to double tap the swap ammo key (2), press pipboy (F2 or TAB), then fire (LMB usually), Up on keyboard to select the right gun (357 Revolver most likely) ENTER on keyboard then TAB to bring the pipboy down.

2-2-F2-UP-ENTER-TAB zoom 1 Repeat

To save yourself from fall damage in case you get launched up into the sky simply press quicksave and quickload. Although the glitch works on consoles saving yourself from fall damage will be difficult and cumbersome due to no quicksaves.

Getting launched into the sky can also make you end up standing in mid air if you stop holding a direction when start going up. You will continue to stand in mid air until you either move or save/load. This is the only method of dashing in the air, since the glitch depends on the walking animation for it to work.

Dashing works because the one-by-one bullet animation weapons have a glitched animation, where it will force movement at the end of it. When you unequip your weapon during this glitched animation and hold W the game will add tons of extra speed for the duration of the glitchy forced movement.

### Third Person Interaction
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zVHo94L4ss

Third Person Interaction is an exploit or glitch in Fallout 3/New Vegas that allows your character to interact with objects through walls.
Simply go into third person, rub your face in the wall and twist the camera a bit if needed. When you see the prompt at the bottom of the screen, just use it!

### Time Stop
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YerYN-q2A38

This glitch stops time around you and lets you walk around in 'pipboy mode'.
By mashing the "Place Marker" button whilst bringing up the map screen you can freeze everything around you and still walk around. To undo the glitch simply press on yes or no.

Don't walk too far away though since the game still thinks you are in the pipboy, and will not load new chunks of the world until you deactivate the glitch (or crash if you walk far enough)

### Item Duplication
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCncKLbGXrw

You can duplicate an item spawned in a container (spawned dead bodies also work) by depositing a stack of 6 or more other items with weight, then withdrawing them by pressing LMB and A almost at the same time.

The reason the item needs to have weight is because of the confirmation screen you need when withdrawing. If the item has no weight (such as ammo or meds) you will not get a confirmation screen.

The reason you can't dupe items from your inventory is because those items have a Reference ID, whilst items spawned in containers does not. Read more about item ID's here: http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Form_ID

This glitch works exactly the same in Fallout 3 as it does in New Vegas, and should also work on consoles (Only tried it with a controller)

### Speedcripple
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qde3gXBC7w0

Speedcripple is a Fallout 3/New Vegas glitch that will add speed on top of your normal movement speed by quickloading at a precise timing.
It works because when you cripple your legs, the game lowers your movement speed, and when the legs get healed it adds the speed back. So by quickloading (and thus "repairing" our legs) at a precise time when our legs get broken we can make the game add speed to our character with 100% movement speed, resulting in you moving about 150% speed.

This glitch is pretty precise and has a different timing on different hardware (and is also not possible on consoles due to lack of quickload)

This glitch also has negative synergy with the Reload Dashing glitch, since it makes your character move with the "crippled legs" animation and Reload Dashing requires the regular walking animation.

### Block Boosting
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YnEsyJp_wM
Not useful for any PC runs, but it's a neat technique that I want to show.

A trick that only works with the gamepad control scheme (so controller on pc/console only)
By blocking and jumping in a specific rhythm you can gain almost double the jump velocity.

### Dam Rock Jump

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7g4Yq_1aBQE

Brief tutorial on how to do the dam rock jump (for glitchless/consoles) on a controller.
Same principles apply for a Keyboard+Mouse I guess.

### Ammo Swapping
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dT-ZxPT_kwE

Ammo Swapping allows you to load the wrong kind of ammunition into weapons. This glitch only works in Fallout: New Vegas, both PC and Console. However you need a controller to actually perform the glitch on PC.

You require 2 guns and ammunition for one of them (preferably one with lots of cheap ammo)

Equip the weapon with ammo and hold the Hot Key button (RB on an xbox controller)

Whilst still holding the Hot Key button, tap left on the left stick to go over to the ammo screen then bind the selected ammo to your hotkey of choice.

Now equip the other weapon and press the ammo hotkey, and you should load the ammo from the first gun into the second but still keeping the properties of the second guns ammo.

### Level Skipping
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNhjV4UnCf8

Level Skipping is a glitch that allows you to basically raise your level really high with minimal effort. Note that you don't actually get to allocate any extra skills from doing this glitch.

All you want to do is to have Auto Save on Travel enabled, and exit a door to another cell/the overworld at a specific timing.

The timing is roughly when the "LEVEL UP" text in the bottom right is done fading out.

When you're on the other side of the door, simply reload the autosave, do a 180 and repeat it until you're satisfied.

### Stop Hopping
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IbrI3p8ViMM

Alterntaive names: Bunny Hopping, Circle Jumping

The effect of this technique is identical to Block Boosting, except it's easier to perform.

Inputs are flick mouse, jump, hold forward, release forward when landing, jump again and hold forward.

It's an easy trick to learn, but requires some practice to be able to chain it reliably.

### Infinite Dashing
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=krs8ECohM-c

Infinite Dashing uses the same glitched animation that Reload Dashing does, but in a different way. Infinite Dashing is as the name implies, infinite. As long as you keep holding forward with this glitched animation you will keep the speed.

What makes the glitch troublesome is that it drops if you change the animation. Changing the animation includes stopping movement, falling, swapping weapons and several other things.

You can however chain quicksaves and quickloads in order to keep the speed in the air, and thus fly across the wasteland.

You perform the glitch easiest by having Grenade Launcher and .357 Revolver bound, shooting the grenade straight up into the air, swap to the revolver and perform a reload cancel as fast as you can and then pull up the pipboy.
Whilst swapping to the revolver you also want to start moving forward too.
When putting down the pipboy (Don't click anything in here) you want to time a QSQL so that it happens when the grenade explodes.

(Shoot Nade, Swap to Revolver, 2 2 LMB F2 Hold W, TAB QSQ)

If you do it right, you will gain tremendous speed and probably crash the game due to going too fast.

The standard 5 Agility is barely enough time to do the reload animations in time before the grenade hits the ground, and the more Agility you have the bigger window you have to perform the inputs.

If you for some reason can't move or have glitchy movement, try jumping and tapping W for a bit. If it still doesn't come back then you have to redo the glitch.

As this glitch includes breaking legs and QSQLing, the infamous "breakable" version is back, but in a minor form. You want to have your legs actually crippled for a guaranteed "unbreakable" speed.

Any% Guide/Route Notes

[big][center]Fallout: New Vegas Any% Detailed Text Route/Guide[/center][/big]
  
These notes works better if you've watched a run before you start reading.

This guide is intended for the PC (English) version of the game. Console players will unfortunately have great difficulty going fast due to the lack of quicksave.

When I write LEFT, RIGHT, UP, DOWN in the guide I'm referring to the Arrow Keys on the keyboard.

I've also made a mediocre video guide on any%, linked below (Although it's a bit outdated). I still recommend reading through the rest of the notes.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzYBFwDGcq8

[section=Before Starting] 
Before starting, make sure you've capped your framerate to 60 or below. (VSync is shit and still makes the game run faster than hard capping with 3rd party tools such as Dxtory or MSI Afterburner)

The latest steam version (Or the GOG version) for the game is what the run is performed on (Patch 1.4). The only difference between the Ultimate Edition and the regular is that Ultimate Editon includes all DLC released for the game.

Have only the Caravan Pack DLC enabled, disable all other DLC. (You need to actually delete/rename the DLC from the \Data\ folder since disabling them through the launcher/steam won't do anything) The reason you don't want them is because they give you a pop-up ingame, which wastes time.
 
Rebind Quicksave and Quickload to keys that you easily can reach (For example I have quicksave bound to Q and quickload bound to G).
 
Use Livesplit as timer and set your game in the split file as Fallout: New Vegas, then activate the load remover (Make sure you're comparing against Game Time. Right Click > Compare Against > Game Time).

If you have issues with mouse acceleration in menus, try this fix:
1. Go to the installation folder.
2. Open Fallout_default.ini
3. Find the section: [Controls]
4. Add these lines:

fForegroundMouseAccelBase=0
fForegroundMouseAccelTop=0
fForegroundMouseBase=0
fForegroundMouseMult=0

If you have issues with the game crashing in load zones, find the following line in the fallout_default.ini:

bUseThreadedAI=0

change the line to 1 and add the line iNumHWThreads=2 underneath it.
(Should look like the lines below, if 2 doesn't work, try having a 1 instead)

bUseThreadedAI=1
iNumHWThreads=2

If editing fallout_default.ini didn't work, try also editing the fallout.ini file in the my documents\my games\FalloutNV folder.

If you want to be advanced and use Italian voice files (Saves only 4 seconds, **it is in no way required** for the current optimization level of any% runs), you can install them by backing up your english installation, then switching your language to italian in steam (Properties > Language > Italian), find the "Fallout - Voices1.bsa" file in the \Data\ folder and copy it. Go back to english and paste the italian voice file in the english \Data\ folder. Note that some steam regions do not have access to italian (EU2 version most notably).

Your game will crash. A lot. The duct taped mess of an engine this game was made on doesn't run very well, neither does it handle the speed from reload dashing well. Crashes, freezes and the odd softlock is stuff you have to deal with when running this game, but due to frequent quicksaves you shouldn't lose too much time because of it (Providing you exit and relaunch your game quickly).


[section=Glitches used / Useful things to know]
Some relevant terms and techniques used when running, or other stuff that's useful to know.

**Controls** = Most of the keys are rebindable in the controls menu, but some actions are hardcoded and cannot be rebound, such as menuing with the Arrow keys, and bringing up/switching screens on the pip-boy with the F-keys (F1, F2, F3). The vendor menus are also unrebindable.

**Load Screen Movement** = After any load screen the screen will fade in from black, taking an extra second before you can see anything. You can control your character during this fade in, so plan your movement accordingly.

**QSQL** = QuickSave and QuickLoad. Technique used to abuse several game mechanics such as skipping dialogue, negate fall damage, clip through walls and reset NPC attack animations.
 
**FT** = Fast Travel. It's what you do to quickly warp to a point on the map which you've already explored.
 
**Text Mashing** = Mashing Left Mouse Button and ENTER is the fastest way to get through dialogue. This however risks skipping triggers, but the only time this matters in Any% is with Doc Mitchells dialogue (But you can mash with both regular enter and the numpad enter to get a safe fast text here), but if you do other categories such as Max Quests this is something to keep in mind.
 
**coc Warp/Void Warp** = Every interior cell in the game has a set spawn point where actors go when they for some reason fall out of bounds. This also applies to the player, so we can use that engine mechanic to our advantage in several locations to warp us to beneficial places. (coc stands for "center on cell" and is what the warp point is called within the engine)
 
**Reload Dashing** = Is the main movement technique used in the run. You perform this glitch by reloading a weapon with a one at the time animation such as the .357 Revolver, bringing up the pip-boy menu and then unequipping it whilst moving in a direction. The .357 Revolver is the fastest one to get and instead of shooting 1 bullet and then reloading the gun, it's faster to buy 2 different ammo types and simply swap between them with the Ammo Swap button (bound to 2 by default). 
I recommend learning how to navigate the pip-boy menu without using the mouse, since moving the mouse around tends to sometimes make dashes not work (it's also slower).
The most optimal way to dash is to double tap ammo swap, press F2 quickly after and then interrupt the animation with your Fire Weapon key (most likely LMB). This will instantly bring up your pipboy and allow for faster chaining.
This glitch also has a high risk of crashing the game in several ways unfortunately.

>>>Inputs: 2, 2, F2, LMB, Up, Enter, TAB.

Other strange traits and effects regarding this glitch you might want to know is that if you have crippled legs, or QSQL'd too close to the ground after falling a great distance, dashing won't work. To fix this, QS>Quit to Main Menu>Load save.

The pip-boy menu will default to the last thing you clicked (even when just binding), so when exiting the menu make sure the .357 was the last thing you clicked.

If your pc is weak your dashes might end up going a shorter distance over a pc that can keep a steady 60 fps.

If you press Enter twice on the same item in the pip-boy menu, the game will crash.

You can curve dashes by swiping the mouse left or right after initiating the dash. (Don't do it too early, or you risk making the dash not work at all)

**TPI (Third Person Interaction)** = An unintended mechanic that allows the player to interact with objects through walls by distorting the camera in third person mode. Simply stand against a wall, enable third person mode and interact with object through wall (might also twist the camera like shown here https://gfycat.com/HeftyThickHarpyeagle )

**Time Stop** = Bring up the map screen and mash/time Right Click (Much, much easier to do if you unbind right click from anything). If done correctly you will have a "Do you want to place a custom marker?" text box in the middle of your screen and everything around you should be frozen, but you can still move around.

**Speedcripple** = A now obsolete glitch due to Reload Dashing being found. By crippling your legs and quickly uncrippling them by loading a save the moment you cripple them, you can gain a ~50% movement speed increase. This works because the game is fooled into thinking you got crippled (removing ~50% movement speed) but since you loaded a save where they aren't crippled (100% movement speed), the game tries to give the lost speed from having crippled legs back to you (~150% movement speed).
Speedcripple is very inconsistent to get, and if your legs get crippled or if you exit the game/go back to the main menu, the glitch disappears.
The reason this glitch is obsolete is because Reload Dashing has some negative synergy with the animation your character has when crippled, such as being unable to dash forward, and giving shorter dashes whilst strafing.

For videos explaining these glitches check out the glitch video guide: https://www.speedrun.com/fallout_nv/guide/1k53e
 
 
Useful Console Commands (For practice only, not allowed in runs)
tgm - God Mode (unlimited ammo and health)
tcl - noclip
tcg - visualize invisible walls and collisions
player.setav speedmult xxx - increase walking speed
qqq - close game
tmm 1 - discover all locations

Critical and Cool Glitches to know for New Vegas

This is a brief guide with text and supporting video material to help you get started with New Vegas. This guide may later be updated to include new route information and explanations, but more on that later. Thanks for reading and watching, and I hope this guide helps you. :)

All inputs are shown throughout each video using SKeys and can be found in the bottom-righthand corner of the screen at all times.

[The following playlist](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLNhQObzZo7SR93hlfsgAZ7Xl_l5uW2qRw) has the videos featured in this guide as well as a few other neat tidbits of information. Might be adding to this later, but time will tell.

# Doc Mitchell's House: Text Mashing and QSQL Tricks
https://youtu.be/moNt9YvAxuY

So, the basic premise of this video is this: you use half of the speed tech that's important to Any% in the first two minutes of the game. This tech is:

- Text Mashing
- QSQL
--- Center-on-Cell (CoC) warping
--- Dialogue skipping

## Text Mashing
Text mashing, in its most base form, is just pressing Enter really fast. It is known that pressing Mouse1 and Enter also work for this, but I'm pretty sure just rapid mashing Enter is faster. Note: Enter refers to both Enter (the big *return* button) and Numpad Enter, so if you have both, **use both**.

## Quick-save Quick-load (QSQL)
QSQL is a vital piece of tech in New Vegas and is the quintessential part of what sets PC runners aside from console runners. QSQL is only able to be performed on PC because consoles lack the ability to QSQL. QSQL has a number of uses. Among them are: Center-On-Cell clipping (out of bounds clips), Dialogue skipping, and Fall Damage negation. The last one is irrelevant until you learn about Reload Dashing, which comes later in this guide.

# Stop Hopping
https://youtu.be/3g9tsrysBFg

This touches on the movement tech in New Vegas: Stop Hopping. The video flushes out some other well known movement tech in other games to give segue to Stop Hopping, but the TL;DW is this:

1. Move forward.
2. Jump.
3. ***Before you hit the ground***, let go of W (forward movement), shake your mouse, jump and *then* hold forward again.

# Reload Dashing
https://youtu.be/U6eIVfkaNxs

As the video says, it's your bread-and-butter tech in going **soopah fast** in this game. To do this tech, you will need a weapon that reloads one bullet at a time. In Any%, we use the .357 revolver with ***two types of ammo*** so that we can effectively reload infinitely (unless of course we shoot all of our bullets, which we never should). The quick breakdown goes like this.

1. Move in your intended direction and *hold those keys*.
2. Initiate reload with dashing weapon (Usually an ammo swap, done by pressing 2 or Up twice)
3. Pull up your Pip-Boy. ***Pressing the fire button will make it come up considerably faster.***
4. Unequip your given dashing weapon.
5. Put away your Pip-Boy.

If you held the movement key the entire time, you'll be sent flying. The inputs on PC will be like so:

W (hold) - 2 - 2 - Tab/F2 - Mouse1 - Up - Enter - Tab/F2

If you hit Enter more than once with the Pip-Boy up and you're doing this glitch, ***your game will crash.*** Not might crash -- ***will crash.***

Also, if your reload dashes are just not working, it's possible you're crippled or the game thinks you're crippled. To fix this, heal your limbs (duh). If that doesn't work, QS, quit to main menu, then hit continue. Should be fixed now.

## Airborne Reload Dashing (**Not Infinite Dashing**)
To do an airborne RD, you'll be doing a RD but with saving your movement to the very last second. Check out the video if you're confused. This looks like:

2 - 2
<*In rapid succession*> Tab/F2 - Mouse1 - W (hold)
Up - Enter - Tab/F2

This goes without saying, but remember to QSQL before you hit the ground, unless you like being a pancake and losing your runs to make Aunt Jemimah proud.

# Infinite Dashing / Cripple Dashing
https://youtu.be/FdoSWRJB9_s

This is a new tech that I prefer calling Cripple Dashing because of its ties to Speedcripple, which is covered in other guides on this page, but you may commonly hear it referred to as "Infinite Dashing".

The tech is rather difficult to explain in text, so it would be to your benefit to watch the video for timing and inputs (which are in the bottom right). 

*Note: there are various forms of this tech, some more favorable than others. You want to get yours so that the **LMB** shows above the health bar. This is a telltale sign that you've probably done the glitch correctly and can consistently chain it in the air with QSQL. Other forms may show crippled limbs with the VaultBoy on-screen, but no LMB will show, and this may result in an inconsistent ID that will drop at any time.*

# Third Person Interaction
https://youtu.be/_vJzNapK3HM

Actually stupid easy tech that involves you going into third-person and moving your camera to interact with things on the opposite side of a wall. If this sounds complicated, watch the video -- *it's not*.

# Ammo Swapping (Cool, not Critical for Any%)
https://youtu.be/CRiCjCR_E7A

This glitch requires you to have a controller of some kind, and this allows you to use ammo from a given gun in a gun that is not supposed to hold that type of ammo. A common (and busted way) to use this glitch is to put Rockets on your hotbar and ammo swap the Rockets into the Laser Detonator (*Lonesome Road DLC*) but we don't run with Lonesome Road in Any%, and our other categories are not routed optimally to go and get the Laser Detonator early. 

As of right now, the only use in the Speedrun community for this tech is to keep using a gun when you've run out of ammo for said gun. Beyond that, its uses are quite limited, but it's hilarious to use in casual playthroughs. :)

# Item Duplication (Cool, not Critical for Any%)
https://youtu.be/KE0o285FsAg

A self-explanatory trick, this trick manipulates Reference IDs, or lack thereof, of items in a container. We can do this glitch without Hardcore mode, but it's really to your advantage to activate HC mode because then you can use ammo to do Item dupes. Using ammo, esp 5mm and .357, is beneficial because 9 out of 10 times that ammo will be right at the top of the item list when you place it in a container. 

# Time Stop (Cool, not Critical for Any%)
https://youtu.be/4wtH_DRdCAg

The video covers this pretty well, but remember to unbind whatever action you have on Mouse2. This is most commonly going to be ADS (aim down sights) or "Block", but you'll find that the default bind for this is Alt, so even when you unbind it on your mouse, it'll still be an option to scope in. You might reconsider binding Alt to something like "Z" (sacrificing your ability to grab/having to rebind it), but Alt is not an inconceivable bind for toggle ADS.

Single Segment/"Glitchless" Speedrun Guide

[big][center]Fallout: New Vegas "Glitchless" Text Guide[/center][/big]

These notes aims to teach you roughly how to do the run, but I would also recommend to watch videos of existing runs, and practice yourself.

[section=Before Starting] 
Before starting, make sure you've capped your framerate to 60 or below. (VSync is shit and still makes the game run faster than hard capping with 3rd party tools such as Dxtory or MSI Afterburner) If you're unsure if your movement speed is correct, download the save file from the resource section and put it in your saves folder (Documents\My Games\FalloutNV\Saves) and time your walking. It should be around 5 minutes flat.

The latest steam version (Or the GOG version) for the game is what the run is performed on (Patch 1.4). The only difference between the Ultimate Edition and the regular is that Ultimate Editon includes all DLC released for the game.

Have only the Mercenary Pack DLC enabled, disable all other DLC. (You need to actually delete/rename the DLC from the \Data\ folder since disabling them through the launcher/steam won't do anything) The reason you don't want them is because they give you a pop-up ingame, which wastes time.
 
Use Livesplit as timer and set your game in the split file as Fallout: New Vegas, then activate the load remover (Make sure you're comparing against Game Time. Right Click > Compare Against > Game Time).

If you have issues with mouse acceleration in menus, try this fix:
1. Go to the installation folder.
2. Open Fallout_default.ini
3. Find the section: [Controls]
4. Add these lines:

fForegroundMouseAccelBase=0
fForegroundMouseAccelTop=0
fForegroundMouseBase=0
fForegroundMouseMult=0

If you have issues with the game crashing in load zones, find the following line in the fallout_default.ini:

bUseThreadedAI=0

change the line to 1 and add the line iNumHWThreads=2 underneath it.
(Should look like the lines below, if 2 doesn't work, try having a 1 instead)

bUseThreadedAI=1
iNumHWThreads=2

If editing fallout_default.ini didn't work, try also editing the fallout.ini file in the my documents\my games\FalloutNV folder.

Using the Italian voice files saves a significant amount of time in this category, which means that you probably want to enable it by either downloading it through steam or finding the italian voice files in the discord pins.

Turning the Actor Fade in the launcher settings down could help with enemy aggro.

Turn the in game difficulty to Very Easy.

[section=Techniques and Terminology]
Some relevant terms and techniques used when running, or other stuff that's useful to know.

**Controls** = Most of the keys are rebindable in the controls menu, but some actions are hardcoded and cannot be rebound, such as menuing with the Arrow keys, and bringing up/switching screens on the pip-boy with the F-keys (F1, F2, F3). The vendor menus are also unrebindable.

**Load Screen Movement** = After any load screen the screen will fade in from black, taking an extra second before you can see anything. You can control your character during this fade in, so plan your movement accordingly.

**FT** = Fast Travel. It's what you do to quickly warp to a point on the map which you've already explored.

**Text Mashing** = Mashing Left Mouse Button and ENTER is the fastest way to get through dialogue. This however risks skipping triggers, but the only time this matters in Any% is with Doc Mitchells dialogue (But you can mash with both regular enter and the numpad enter to get a safe fast text here), but if you do other categories such as Max Quests this is something to keep in mind.
 
**Stop Hopping** = The main movement technique in the run.  By holding a direction, flicking your mouse and jumping and then quickly release the directional input as you land, and then repeat, you can increase your movement speed akin to circle jumping or strafe jumping in other games. There are several tutorial videos on how to do this in the other guides. Just watch your wrists.

[Section=Route Notes]
