Stay chill, be cool.

I'm going to guess it saves about 5-10 seconds at least, which for a chapter like this is much needed due to the Tank Slayer luck.

When I do learn this game again, I'll probably be running it at 800 x 600 or lower to take advantage of the strat in 15b. It will make the faster grenade launch in Chapter 13 harder to set up because I won't be able to see my point of reference as well, but I can still pull it off.

Posting the current Chapter 7 strats here for easy reference. It's kind of cool to see the progression from my setup to Cosmyk's to Cadarev's. It's like one of those things that is so simple, but nobody really thought to do for the longest time.

Does this C7 strat work in NG+? I've been trying with a fully-upgraded Edelweiss (PC, 1366x768 at 30 and 60fps) and no matter the angle I try the mortar doesn't do any damage unless I hit a single radiator dead-on. Also tried a couple of the earlier strats moving to higher ground, no luck

Edit: I'm an idiot that doesn't understand the concept of orders :p

The Safety Officer

So I've been working on this run for a while, finally down to a consistent 2:20:00 or so. That being said, I was wondering if there was a consistent way to not go over the damage threshold on the final boss where he teleports to the back (half HP). Whenever I use Zaka, it does too much damage about 60% of the time (varies depending on shocktroopers, though I have been getting Alex and Kevin a lot lately). I was able to use the 3rd shocktrooper instead of Zaka without ever doing over half, but they have a tendency to not survive the counter-attack. Should I just aim low to reduce Zaka's shots on the boss, or is it just another pile of RNG nonsense this game throws at us?

Don't use the main machine gun, use the secondary machine gun that only hits 5 times. This guarantees that he cannot get over the 1200 damage threshold

Hi, I'm thinking about picking up VC for the 12-hour speedrun challenge next weekend. Are there specific guidelines about what settings to use? I know frame rate is limited to 60 in the rules, but I've also seen some posts talking about resolution being important? I currently run the game at 1280x720 windowed, @60Hz limited to refresh rate - will this be OK? Thanks

That's the preferred setting so you don't mess with any of the game mechanics. I have a video guide to each chapter somewhere on YouTube and there's public notes somewhere here

Thanks. Now to work out which day next weekend I can afford to spend entirely on this game >.>''
