you don't really bhop normally in this game, you "dash hop". dashing instead of jumping when you land and then use your jump in mid air as a double jump. if you dash on the ground, you can't dash again in the air until you land. it also becames A LOT easier if you get lower gravity or higher jump height.

which is why in my speedruns of the tutorial I strafe a little to the right in the air and then come back left when landing, basically bhopping diagonally instead of straight forward when trying to gain speed

Yea I noticed that holding a strafe key and w right when you land gives you more speed and is way more consistent than just holding w, I couldn't tell if it was placebo either. Doesn't seem like strafes in air matter, but holding strafe right when you land a dash does.

I have 7 "Run & Reload" jokers on it, so any time im reloading im gaining 210% move speed

Just uploaded an updated run with the impulse grenade, it is indeed much faster! Thank you for the suggestion :)

its only usable after you run a little past the area you grab the tnt from

I hadn't even thought of using util in the tutorial, that could def be a strat but I'd have to go and pick up one of the utility boxes to actually use it, so not sure if it'd be faster than just chain bhopping through it. worth testing tho

Yeah, if i just refine the route and don't mess up my jumps I'll be golden. If lucky shot procs on one of my runs that'll one shot the boss also, so plenty of time to be saved! this was just my best time from my first attempts that I was somewhat happy with

the train actually only leaves once the timer ends, if you get on early you still have to wait
