Become more efficient at opening doors. You’ll start about 25 doors / 5 min run (loading not included in that time). With a little practice you can bring run time down to ~4 min.
It’s still massive grind, but even if you have a slow PC with 1 minute loadings it’s at least twice faster than ~100 doors/hour that you’d get playing the game normally with optimized strategies.
Basic Strategy
Speed run first stages.
Get Zed with last 2 chips (2nd row) for speed. Tell other 2 characters to wait at bot (so you can make use of the last chip bonus).
Don’t bother with turrets/upgrades. Rush through to open all doors and “Give up and return to saloon”, restart.
Optimization
Characters
Crystal bot: Speed and action speed chips + the chip that gives free level up to the bot. Cartie with both chips that upgrade her passive. I also take range increase on skill. Blaze because he has speed and his starting weapon has penetration.
Use 2 characters to explore
Keep Cartie on defense. If you reach a dead-end with a red door at the end of a long corridor swap between Blaze/Zed if it helps you reach next door quicker.
Moving to next stage
Moving to 2nd area is always worth it because stage is so short and restart means 2 loading screens and slow entry/exit animations. Sometimes it’s worth moving to 3rd area.
On stage start get one of these bot upgrades if possible (listed in order of priority):
- Acton speed (+50% one’s great, but risky)
- Bot speed (movement speed)
- 40 damage attack
Explore as usual, the moment you find the exit (or you know where it is)
You can try doing the same in 2nd stage, but in my experience breaker and mandatory bot slot are often too far from exit to make travel time worth the effort.
