    I don't know if anyone feels the same, but, when you're alone, being the only survivor alive makes the game really scary

      L4S2 is a game that requires real mastery to speedrun. Much more so than most other games.
      It's satisfying to hear someone truly skilled talk about it because it makes you consider just how great this game's design really is.

  • @ChampGnionsYT
    @ChampGnionsYT Před 3 lety +376

    I'm not as good in speedrunning but in the Cola section, I throw the bile straight up in the air before opening the door, that air time is enough to give infected some time to spawn, and by the time it drops, I'm already halfway into the market, giving me more time to leave with the bile taking effect. I think it's more efficient so I'd like to share that with someone competent in speedrunning (something I'm not)

    I'm very new to speedrunning this game, so I don't claim to know more than you, but as someone who's primarily speedrun Chapters 1 and 2, I get biles on the second level of chapter 1. It's isn't super common, but there's a few places where throwables spawn that you can get one at and on top of that, once in a blue moon, the commons in the hazmat suits will drop one.
    PS. Thank you so much, this tutorial has been invaluable for learning to speedrun this game.

    Its funny, I've been doing the heal animation when in the safe house, for YEARS. I even tell my friends to start healing before the next map then close the door, lmao

    I was so engaged with this video, that when I got an ad, my brain briefly got upset that we were going to lose 5 seconds in the run by the time I skipped it
