#1

Rules

  • BAR must be disabled
  • No glitches or exploits (For example Flakker swapping, drop reloading, “Rolling Thunder” stacking, ect…)
  • Full video proof of the run must be shown (Quality doesn’t matter as long as it’s watchable)
  • All gear used and spec as well as the BAR must be shown after or before the run
  • No use of third party tools to give you an advantage
  • You may only use 33 rocket ammo per Boss/Arena (Additional ammo from pick ups are allowed, and skills like Athena’s Elemental Barrage or Jack’s Absolute Advantage that reduce your ammo consumption are also allowed) Regening rockets with an Absorption shield is not allowed
  • Luneshine is allowed on weapons that can spawn with it (list here)
  • All gear used must currently be obtainable in game
  • Jack players can pre-stack up to 250 stacks of “Money is Power” for Arenas, and up to 500 stacks for Raids
  • Aurelia players can pre-stack up to 500 stacks of “I Never Miss” for Arenas, but are not allowed to pre-stack for Raids
  • Athena players are not allowed to pre-stack “Maelstrom”
  • For both Level 9 Mutator Arena sections you may use any “Mode” or “Modifier”, but choosing ones that hamper your run does not effect your ranking. You must show that the Arena is on level 9.
  • Any Moxxtail is allowed for all of the runs.

Time Rules

The Invincible Sentinel

  • Time starts the moment the “The Invincible Sentinel” health bar appears, and ends the moment the “The Invincible Empyrean Sentinel” health bar disappears.

You can summit your own work or anyone else’s work by posting it in the thread. I just ask that you try to proof watch any video before you summit it.

Thanks,

What speaks for the prestacking?
I’ve never tried to freeze the big form I freeze just its mask kills an enemy and active jurisdiction but why not tried the big form jelly

The big form can be frozen, and you are allowed to stack Order for every fight. But just an fyi, if you’re killing yourself in the Sentinel arena to skip the cut scene the time where you can’t shoot still counts.

Do you want me to put your ~58 sec Nisha kill?

I’ll link it in the “Hello” message.

you have a faster one though.

good. i’ll take that into account.

on another note, would it be bad form to submit chad harris’ run of mutator 9? he does it in about 3 min 30. and ive been pulling my hair out trying to get a good recording.

There is 2nd and 3rd place too. If you don’t what me to its fine, its just you’re the only other person I know to bypass EOS’ phases legitimately

I know he broke the forum’s rules but I have no qualm with putting his video on the doc.

Both added. Chad’s time was 2:29 not 3:30. And a quick question, b/c of the whole 2nd and 3rd place thing… Can you not see the docs? Someone else said they couldn’t, so I’m just making sure its not a problem.

@johnrr6 has a bunch of the Wilhelm Records iirc, He’s the only guy manly enough to attempt speedruns with Wilhelm.

Idk if he did them with BAR or not, but there aren’t too many wilhelms around to contest.

Unfortunately…my runs are all BAR on…

But my BAR at the time was a whopping 8% so I could have probably turned it off entirely and felt no difference…if I would have remembered LOL

This looks fun and thanks to Khimerakiller for doing this!. I will try to come back and get some runs posted during the holidays.
