Alright, let me break down how ridiculous that trick is to do. There's so much RNG it's not even funny. In order to do it, the brute and elite need to be out of the way (completely random, almost never happens in my experience), and if you try to kill them the sniper jackal will hear you and insta-kill you. Speaking of said jackal, sometimes he can be aware of you as soon as the door opens, and insta-kill you. Assuming the enemies are out of the way, and the jackal doesn't see you, _and_ you're able to get the sword-fly in the first few tries, (frame-perfect trick, and if you wait too long the Jackal will see you) there's an entirely new series of *COMPLETELY BS* events that can occur. 1, you hit that stupid branch that rocats passes under in the video (will usually result in death). 2, you're in the air for just _slightly_ too long, resulting in instant death due to fall-timer. 3, the jackal that you're sword-flying off of sees you mid-air and ends your very existence. 4, your angle is slightly off and you hit a wall in the hallway you land in, which can kill you. 5, the enemies that were fighting in front of the door bumble back into the way right as you start to fly, screwing up your angle completely, and usually resulting in yeeting yourself out of the map. Don't forget, if you're at a crazy pace like Rocats is in the vid, you won't have gotten any checkpoints since the elevator skip. Meaning losing at least 30 seconds, but most likely much more since all the rooms leading up to this trick are _full_ of RNG.

@afanoflafear2 жыл бұрын
They only work in Classic mode, for example: At the start right after he killed the 2 brutes + 4 grunts there's a certain position the lights have to be on either side above the door or you won't skip the enemy spawns properly. On "enhanced" graphics, the design, shape and size of many things has changed considerably so it's next to impossible to pull off.
