I'm currently learning this game, and I'm using the Flashpoint version. I tried doing the level 2 deathwarp that's right at the beginning of the level, but it just brings me back to the start of the level. Am I doing something wrong, or is it not in this version? Other deathwarps work, which is why I'm confused as to why this one isn't working

BEFORE we get into this post, check out this Google Sheets by Treyful who has compiled multiple different decks - some more up to date than this forum post. I'll make efforts to update this soon with the "best" decks, but it takes time :D (Written November 23rd, 2021)

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1axIkdNFDyyjYeIjFqVLyTejnVFRzaCuVZbSb5emmDyM/edit#gid=0

Onto the rest of the post!

You'll notice pretty much EVERY build leans very heavily on +Move speed and sprint/stamina efficiency early on, bringing in use speed (act 1), weakpoint damage (act 2), and stamina (every act) later on. This is because of a technique called Stamina Hopping (or Stamhop/Stamhopping) in which you sprint for a short period of time, let go, and then jump within a short window. This uses less stamina and keeps you at a similar speed to sprinting, and its very important for the early game.

With all that out of the way, let's take a look at the builds. Keep in mind, the game is still relatively new and decks still get tweaked now and again, so check the date in the title of this forum post to check the relevancy of these listed decks.

Okay so some notes before this one. Unfortuantely at the moment, the "optimal" deck is kind of reliant RNG. Ideally, you'd use this deck with a Barrett sniper that has a chance of dropping on spawn. Using another sniper also works, but not quite as well. If you get no sniper... well that's pretty unfortunate.

There also was a discussion in the Discord about a shotgun build similar to this sniper one, but I don't have any details on that one. Perhaps it would be more consistent with RNG?

Anyhow, let's talk about character. In Acts 1-3 you'll basically want to be using Evangelo exclusively as a solo runner, but in Act 4 it comes down to 2 choices in my mind.

Walker

• +20% accuracy after precision kills for 5 seconds
• +10% damage all around
• +10 Team Health

Walker is a good all-rounder for damage

Jim

• +2.5% stacking damage after a Precision Kill until Jim takes dmg
• +25% ADS Speed (Irrelevant)
• +10% Team Weakspot Damage

Jim is my personal pick, especially for the sniper deck + Barrett.. Not only does he get 10% damage similar to Walker (yes it's weakspot, but that's all that really matters anyway) but he ALSO gets 2.5% damage which can stack so long as he doesn't take damage which is pretty solid.

I just realized I've never introduced myself here so I figured - why not.

I got started in speedrunning back in early 2018 with Prey (2017) because I had finished it casually and was curious. Then I got hooked because of that damn gloo gun. After Prey, I picked up DOOM (2016) just because it was a game I really enjoyed casually, and wanted to give it a shot. I ended up sinking over 1k hours into DOOM speedrunning - oops. The DOOM series is kind of my main thing but since then, I've branched out a lot more. I think it's cool to run all kinds of games, even if I can't be competitive it's just cool to have a list of games I can beat "kinda fast"

Right now I'm tinkering with A Plague Tale: Innocence Any% and Outlast 2 No CPK which are two COMPLETELY different runs lol, but its a good ol' time :D

Hey everyone! Our engineering team has been working hard all day today, and now the site should be running MUCH smoother than previously! If you notice any hiccups, please let me know below! Take care everyone, and have a great weekend!

I'll try to keep this up to date :) Alternatively, check the status here https://github.com/LiterallyMetaphorical/Livesplit.APlagueTaleInnocence

// September 5th, 2021 Load removal, Autostart, & Autosplit per chapter will work on every PC platform (Epic Games, Steam, Xbox) making the game competitive regardless of where you own it.

Autostop upon entering the final cutscene in chapter 17 is now supported for the Steam version of the game. It can fairly easily be added for other platforms, so DM me on Discord if you run on another one :) Just seems most people run on Steam

Although not super useful for speedrunning (except for in Mercenaries, where you sell a ton of ammo) it's worth noting that you can sell things twice as fast by holding click and also pressing D (or whatever your "walk right" keybind is)

Super convenient for selling a lot of things at once. Probably tiny timesave, but it's free so there's that

Edit: Also buying, kinda forgot about that

Soo does the PSP just have a bunch of cut content or what? Why is it 30 mins? I was kinda hoping it would be some huge sequence break or something, but it doesn’t like that. What’s going on there😂
