MGSV: TPP - E13 Speedrun: Pitch Dark All Tasks Perfect Stealth in
An almost WR run with some restrictions.
I stream sometimes: / stegdarkhorse
An S-Rank, Perfect Stealth / No Kills speedrun of Episode 13: Pitch Dark in 5:49.213
Thought this one would be fun to do, but I wanted to add on a couple of restrictions for style; use Snake, get an S-Rank, and get the PSNK bonus. The current record on the board almost loses to this run while using Raiden and possibly non-stealth methods. Unfortunately the runner who has the record removed a ton of their runs, so footage of it no longer exists. If I kept at it, I probably could beat the record with these restrictions. Or I could just, beat the run without said restrictions. That would probably be easier...
Some notes:
• To get the first pair of walker gears to be driverless after the cutscene, you have to cross that gate line / barrier during the fade-out.
• The second pair of walker gears are a major pain that caused me to reset constantly. Sometimes they don't leave their spawn location. Sometimes only one leaves. Sometimes you can lose the "Exfiltrate before the oilfield is sealed off" task even if they never made it to the oilfield. Sometimes they can get there and you don't lose the bonus. Absolute nightmare to deal with.
• The faster method would be to get the vulture first and then get the two walker gears on the way back to the base. See the above note for why that's basically impossible to do.
