Been looking at running this for a while now.
It doesn't actually have a real end, which leads to quite a few categories, that being with / without DLC, difficulty, number of players (real / AI), main levels / DLC levels (with / without the PC only level), the reputation level you play at (and whether you reset between levels), etc.
For instance, one run could be 'Easy/Medium Solo (w/ AI) No DLC Level 0+' and another can be 'Overkill 4 Players w/ DLC Level 193'...
I myself like to run the first example. The lowest difficulty possible, no DLC, play by myself with the AI (you can play solo without AI, but it's really difficult even on lower difficulties, because the enemies are set for the 4 players) and start at level 0 without resetting progress between levels.
The times are based off of the in-game timer that is shown at the end of each level. I've checked, and these are accurate (however I don't know exactly when the timer starts and ends, so based on when it starts to fade to the game (and you get control) up to the end of each level, it is 3 seconds fast.
There is a lot of RNG, which is a bit annoying, but I kinda like it (even though Diamond Heist - the 5th level - is pretty much based entirely on RNG).
Currently, these are my times:
( Individual Levels - All are Level 0 No DLC Solo w/ AI )
First World Bank (Easy): 11m:40s
Heat Street (Easy): 13m:37s
Panic Room (Medium): 16m:04s
Green Bridge (Medium): 13m:26s
Diamond Heist (Medium): 2m:58s (you see what I mean about how RNG can really affect this level?)
Slaughterhouse (Medium): 13m:28s
No Mercy (Medium): 17m:51s (the PC only level - this is also based on RNG, but not as much as Diamond Heist)
( Full Runs - Level 0+ No DLC Main Levels Only Solo w/ AI )
Run 1 - 1h:32m:24s
Run 2 - 1h:25m:17s
The majority of the second run was worse than my first, but I got moderately good RNG on Diamond Heist, which cut 4 minutes off my time, and I also used my new routing which involves doing Heat Street third, after Panic Room, as there's a section of Heat Street quite early on where you can run past, but if you don't have a good few levels you won't have the ammo or the health to run past it.
If there's anyone interested in running Level 0+ themselves, I have my full routing with levels, etc. set out and it's what I use.
I'll also get to work uploading my runs, but I feel like it'll take my internet about a week non-stop to upload them.
