that sounds more like a fun run :D but if we allow this why not just add it into the filter tab as a misc ?

ok so i just ran a rocket run and i actually think its not that worth it. Allow me to explain in detail.

yes you save about 1 minute in mansion 1 depending on your movement and coordination however as with most resident evils the Rocket Launcher is generally a one hit kill but it isnt in this.

It took 3 rockets to kill Plant 42 aka wombo combo king for chris 3 rockets to kill yawn and at black tiger its the worst thing for that door i fired 5 rockets before i decided to stop remember it takes 2 grenade rounds to break the web and i fired 5 rockets and it still didnt break. Im guessing it will take 2-3 rockets for tyrant i did not continue after black tiger as in my opinion it wasnt optimal so i saw no value in that run.

Also i ran this on psxjin not pc what do you guys think ?

It will be a bigger save in PSX because of the door loads to get the bazooka. New game+ has stronger enemies so I expected a few rockets would be needed for bosses. I still haven't tried a rocket run yet. Not even sure if it's in the bank or if you start with it. It's going to save on the acid and explosive round pickups later. I tested quick shooting about a year ago with RL and experienced just a slight increase in fire rate. Barely anything. Hard to say until a solid complete run is done. BT will be the big question. Webs have a lot more hitpoints in new game+ as well.

Not sure what you guys mean with the web at BT:

(This is on PC), done by Elyzsabo 2 years ago.

Web = 1 Tyrant = 1 P42 = 3 Yawn = 3

So that is strange. Though its on PSXjin, so web may be different for PS1.
