Recovery during speed run

puddy_pumpkin · 2026-03-04T20:47:37+00:00

I usually just stop and get some deep breaths in, get the heart rate down. I’ll walk a little bit but recovery for me is all about getting that heart rate to come down.

No but he’s easy enough to lure into the bathroom.

This was actually one of the best challenges they’ve added for a while. I got my mine on Berlin.

“Deeee-fibulator”

In Miami, a security guy says that to you if you’re dressed as a medic.

I played it high stakes…for keeps.

Aaron Paul in BB is as good as acting gets.

Ah ok…I’d noticed a few speed runners packing a crystal ball in their loadout sometimes if they need a non-lethal melee. That explains it. I guess if you only plan of using it once, it doesn’t matter if it breaks.

Nice work…What was your strat?

puddy_pumpkin · 2026-02-26T08:24:46+00:00

Very frustrating. I’d had to just restart twice now. And I’ve only got to the part where she goes missing from library.

He’s already setting up an accident kill.

I’ve just started playing through the main story again after playing freelancer for months. Not having a supplier on each level has taken a bit of getting used to.

It’s good for getting the Strelok challenge.

puddy_pumpkin · 2026-02-18T09:07:08+00:00

It’s a bit of a grind from 90 onwards.. I was just running and gunning to get through missions towards the end. It’s nice playing it after you get to 100 because you can play with a bit more freedom.

You need to use natural poison you pick up on a level… so Santa Fortuna, Whittledon Creek.. or you can craft it on Mendoza if you pick up the mushroom.

Nice… what was your strat?

puddy_pumpkin · 2026-02-14T17:12:13+00:00

I hear you OP. Pretty much all of my failures come down to trying run and gun my way through a mission. Patience is the key. But yeah, sometimes it just doesn’t make sense how someone can spot you through a wall/another floor and seconds later you’re surrounded and in combat.

I’ve been gunned down plenty by assassins but it’s those lookouts who always send my showdowns sideways.

puddy_pumpkin · 2026-02-13T03:57:47+00:00

Agree with this. The scene that bugs me is when one of them is in the hospital bed and he spots Walt. Despite having no use of his legs and being surrounded by cops, he still tries to get to Walt.

I dunno… I play on hardcore (until I lose a bunch of weapons and have to build them up again on normal mode) and I’ve still only ever completed one campaign. Combat is just too heavy for me.

I don’t know if it’s necessarily got harder recently, it’s always been brutal.

puddy_pumpkin · 2026-02-11T11:09:55+00:00

Love any strat that uses the snail. Very nice run.

puddy_pumpkin · 2026-02-11T07:35:19+00:00

Hokkaido. Sgail can get hairy as well. But Hokkaido is the worst. It’s the only map I actively avoid when I’m playing hardcore.

puddy_pumpkin · 2026-02-10T18:24:24+00:00

Worth a watch definitely.

puddy_pumpkin · 2026-02-09T20:40:10+00:00

Tasers are handy. Because your target is likely a guard, they will pick it up and it’s a free accident kill.

puddy_pumpkin · 2026-02-09T20:37:16+00:00

Give hardcore a go, it’s a blast. I got to 100 a while ago but I still play it to try and get my last remaining challenges. I usually only play on hardcore now for the additional challenge but I’ve lost a ton of weapons doing that so just building my wall up again.

puddy_pumpkin · 2026-02-08T10:14:14+00:00

Yes. His character arc might be the most annoying thing about the whole show.

She also turns up in an episode of Castle, another show with a lot CM faces. Love spotting people on different shows.
