Some new skips and I improved the route a bit further, with so much time to save I needed to do another. I know this is a significant improvment over my previous time, but overall this wasn't very good, especially Taras Nabad was terrible. At least I didn't forget about any items and no crashes this time. With this route I could see the time going under 2:40:00.
100% means all weapons upgraded, obtain all sentinel crystals, tokens and collectibles, unlock everything in the fortress, get all codexes and get all weapon points. This should leave you with 8 weapon points, 15 tokens and 4 batteries and no ??? in the codex at the end, which I confirm after the IoS. No intentional use of any major glitches and mastery tokens are used for weapon mastery.
In-game Time is 2:45:13, Real Time is about 2:48:11.

I've written a lengthy text of misc details in a pastebin to answer commonly asked questions and give some insight on the routing, weapon choices etc. found here: pastebin.com/mwgJEfEX
Comments about the run and route:
I messed up about half the marauder fights really bad. Probably easily lost 2 minutes on those. Also didn't realize I wasn't using equipment fiend since ARC Complex until Urdak.
I used to upgrade the plasma rifle heat blast since it's rather easy, but the mastery (and weapon) is mostly useless once you get the ballista. That was pretty dumb since the precision bolt is pretty good and even without trying you'd end up upgrading it through the run. Unfortunately my aim was rather shit and I missed a lot of simple shots wasting a bit of time.
Pretty close to dying on the second slayer gate, got a little bit too close to the mancubus.
I messed up the sentinel prime fight badly, you can kill the 1st phase very quickly, but I forgot I had to wait for him to attack on my 2nd ballista shot. Once he is staggered fire 2 grenades and 3x3 rockets on him from behind when he leaves the stagger state, then meat hook on a demon he spawns and fire BFG from above to finish him. The 2nd phase was also really bad, should have used more SSG+ballista.
Fast travel on Taras Nabad to clear out slayer gate with BFG and crucible and get a token. Also skip 3 acid gates by shooting them through the wall.
Taras Nabad arch-vile screwed me over good, not only did he manage to spawn in the monsters when he was dead, he also spawned in a marauder. I've never seen this before so I didn't really know what would happen or what I should do.. so I figured I'd just fail the secret encounter, continue the level, and then come back with fast travel and everything should be gone...... of course everything was still there and not being in the mood to deal with such bullshit I decided to use a BFG that I was planning to use on the prowler part of the slayer gate. Anyways the idea here was pretty simple, get the secret encounter and BFG everything at the same time, then just kill the doom hunter. Lost about 3 minutes and 30 seconds on this level so my time is easily improveable.
Forgot to grab a crucible at the end of Taras Nabad as well, so I kill the first tyrant on Final Sin without it.
New Nekravol skip at the end, sometimes you can even kill a doomhunter by having it fall into the exit.Also forgot a crucible at the end of Nekravol, if I didn't forget both crucibles I would have used one on the other doom hunter here as well.
Forgot a BFG cell on Nekravol II, so I decided to clear out the first BFG cell area on Final Sin instead of using a BFG there.
A couple of Urdak skips, the first being the spawns in the marauder area by jumping through the gate and falling down. The second being the arch-vile arena, there's 2 phases to it and I just jump around the arena twice and come back to it at the end and get the weapon point. I messed up the double baron fight badly, partially because of bad ammo management prior to the fight, you can kill almost everything quickly here.
+ some other misc skips on cultist base and super gore nest.
This was played on the old patch. Without dumb mistakes etc. sub 2:40 shouldn't be a problem.
Thanks for watching.
