RTA (or Real Time Attack) is a group of categories that is timed in a single-segment. Runs usually follow a real timer rather than the in-game timer, as the in-game timer is faster and does not count the time spent in menu and loading screens.
In the following categories, you are allowed to use your own episode route. You can go in order, or go completely out of order - you only need to complete the first/original 3 episodes: L.A. Meltdown, Lunar Apocalypse, and Shrapnel City. Other subcategories may include the fourth episode, The Birth, or other expansion packs.

Video Tutorial
Route
Any% is run entirely on the Piece of Cake difficulty. The goal of this category is to finish the original 3 episodes: L.A. Meltdown, Lunar Apocalypse, and Shrapnel City in the quickest time possible exploiting any bug/glitch found in the route. Cheating will invalidate your run.
E1L1 - Hollywood Holocaust
- Shoot or kick the fan vent in the top of the level, fall down and start moving diagonally forward+right.
- Jump onto the crate where the Assault Trooper is standing; you do not have to kill it, and then jump into a window diagonally up+left.
- Head to the poster in the secret room and open it, then grab the steroids.
- Using the steroids, jump out of a window onto the wall on the other side.
- Head down the wall and jump forward+left onto the ledge.
- Turn around and jump+duck at the small ledge in the corner to clip onto a secret area high above you.
- Grab the jetpack and fall to the Auto-Destruct button; use the jetpack to break your fall.
- Shoot or kick the glass and finish the level.
There is a backup route for this level (some choose this route by default):
- If you fail the clip, head back down and into the doors.
- Wedge yourself tightly in the corner between the left door and the wall. Keep moving backwards against the corner.
- Close the doors, and you should clip up to the jetpack.
- Grab the jetpack and fall to the Auto-Destruct button; use the jetpack to break your fall.
- Shoot or kick the glass and finish the level.
E1L2 - Red Light District
- Run past the enemies and next to the vent as you leave the elevator.
- Use your jetpack to get on top of the ledge and follow it down to the neon sign.
- Jump up-foward-left and move right once you're next to the wall. As you land, duck and jump. This should allow you to clip under the door requiring the Yellow Access Card.
- Ignore the Pig Cop on the right as you enter and head left.
- Turn and head right into the bar (the first hall you come to on your right beyond the pool table). There will be a cabinet under the wall with liquor bottles.
- Ignore all enemies and grab the Red Access Card in the cabinet.
- Head out of the bar, evading the 3 Pig Cops that just spawned, and into the next hall.
- Use the Red Access Card and, ignoring everything in the new room, shoot the air vent on the right.
- Jump into the now open air vent (there is a table you can use to jump into it if need be) or use your jetpack to fly into it, grab the items in it and shoot/kick the air vent on the other end.
- Use your jetpack to fly onto the ledge across from you, all enemies can be ignored.
- Before you get to the end level area, use your jetpack to bypass the cell doors that appear.
- As the Pig Cop voice clip starts playing, press the Auto Destruct button and quickly bring up a menu that still allows the voice clip to be played (F1 is usually used)
- Wait for the clip to end, and leave the menu. This skips E1L3.
E1L3 - Death Row is skipped in this route.
E1L4 - Toxic Dump
- Head underwater and solve the button puzzle.
(Solution: on; off; on) - An opening will start to appear on the left. Wait for it to open enough and head out moving up to the surface, aiming between the corner between the two plants.
- Use your jetpack to fly up to the highest point the level will allow you, and move next to the door requiring the Blue Access Card.
- Turn off your jetpack and duck+jump under the door to clip into the next room.
- Enter the red door on the left and continue moving forward+left until you get to the area that requires the Red Access Card.
- Use the Landing Crouch Jump (also known as Jump/Duck/Jump) clip on the right passageway, and head right into the next room.
- Flip the switch on, it's usually safe to ignore the Assault Trooper.
- Use the Landing Crouch Jump clip on the passageway you just left. (This may take a few attempts to get, try jumping as you get to the last shadow from the beams overhead).
- Head right into the previous room and into the new room on the right.
Route 1
- Head underwater moving diagonally forward+left and move towards the room past the mines on the right.
- Move up against the corner between the rock wall and the metal wall, and head up using your jetpack.
- You will end up at a teleporter that takes you straight to the Auto Destruct button.
Route 2 (extends into E1L5)
- Head underwater moving diagonally forward+left and move towards the puddle of sludge ahead of you on the left.
- Use your jetpack to fly up to the surface and grab the steroids on the ledge next to the sludge waterfall.
- Turn around towards the enemies and use your jetpack to fly forward+right against the wall. This should take you to a teleporter that takes you straight to the Auto Destruct button. Softman25 demonstrates this in this Twitch highlight at 1:40
E1L5 - The Abyss
- Head down the sewer and onto the ledge on the right. (E1L4 Route 2 users, use your steroids now).
- Jump off the ledge towards the door requiring the Blue Access Card. Duck+jump to clip under it and move past the enemies.
- Use your jetpack to fly towards the "SAN ANDREAS FAULT" sign, and step on it to trigger the earthquake (or move upwards and completely ignore it).
- Fly towards the falling cliffs and you should clip upwards against them (or move above them if you ignored triggering the earthquake).
- Fall down to the next area in the wall, using your jetpack to break your fall.
- Fly down the stairs and aim yourself at the wall overhanging the area at the end of the stairs.
- Fly upwards, aiming at the square in the overhanging wall.
- Once you feel you have enough height, fall and quickly begin moving forwards to clip behind the wall under the overhang. (E1L4 Route 2 users, you have more of a height window).
- Head through the teleporter and into the next room behind the metal door. Grab the armor and +30 Health if you need it.
- Press the button on the right behind the opening door and fall down the hole. If you stay left as you fall down the hole, a small opening with an RPG will be waiting if you failed to grab one previously.
- Head into the boss room in front of you by pressing the button near the doors. 15 RPG ammo is on your left if you need it before you enter the boss room.
- Grab the medkit and grab the Atomic Health near the Battlelord. Kill it and finish the episode.
5 RPG ammo is on each corner of the toxic waste, and about 20 total is optimal to kill the Battlelord.
E2L1 - Spaceport
- As you start the level, immediately move diagonally backward+left to enter the teleporter.
- Grab the RPG and steroids in the ship and head back out into the main hallway.
- Stay right until you get to the room with an Assault Trooper. Grab the Shotgun if need be and flip the switch off.
- Head through the passageway where the forcefield was active.
- Ignore the Assault Trooper on the other end and jump into the "RESTRICTED PERSONNEL" sign.
- Stay left and follow the vent down to the air vent. Shoot/kick it open, grab the medkit on the right below you if you need it, and grab the Blue Access Card.
- Head out of the room and into the next main room. Go to the elevator and jump on and off the Assault Trooper to bypass it.
- Use the Blue Access Card and head to the elevator that opened on the other end. Kill the Assault Enforcer inside it and head up to the next floor.
- Once you get to the next floor, jump on the crate to your left and onto the ledge above it. Grab the jetpack and shoot the yellow canisters on the other end.
- Head into the broken elevator through the hole that just appeared and flip the switch on.
- Head out into the passageway behind you and solve the switch puzzle.
(Solution: off; off; on; off) - Jump out into the hole in the center of the main area and fall into the water below.
- Grab the Red Access Card and head back up to the second floor using your jetpack.
- Use the Red Access Card in the blue lighted area near the switch puzzle.
- Enter the new passage way and follow it until you get to the Auto Destruct button.
E2L2 - Incubator
- Be patient and wait for the two rooms to connect. You can glitch the game into leaving the starting forcefields on by hitting one of them too early.
- Once the forcefields are clear, enter the next hallway and use the steroids you picked up in E2L1.
- Move down the hallway and enter the next room, ignoring all enemies. A couple of Sentry Drones may hit you in the process, so use a medkit if you need to.
- Flip the switch in the middle of the room on and head right to the next room.
- Stay right and wait for the floor to slide down far enough to jump into.
- Continue staying right and flip the switch off in the blue lighted room on the right.
- Head back to the previous room and enter the hall on your right. There was a blocked passageway here before, but it is no longer blocked.
- Go right and ignore the enemies, they are of no threat.
- Clip into the small crack in the wall by moving towards the wall on the left and slowly turning left. It has been reported that aiming up may help chances of getting the clip a small bit, and that moving only left at first may also help. (TheBlackParrot demonstrates this in this YouTube video)
- Grab the medkit and steroids on the left and head forwards and slightly left onto a ledge with an alien switch.
- Turn it on and head to the metal doors in the area that appears. The enemies are usually of no threat.
- Enter the small room and use the Auto Destruct button to end the level. The Octabrain attacking you will not kill you if you have enough health.
E2L3 - Warp Factor
- Wait for the elevator to stop and head to the metal door in front of you.
- Continue in diagonally forward+right and head down the elevator.
- Immediately start moving left against the elevator wall while crouching. This will allow you to bypass the set of Laser Tripbombs that would usually appear in front of you.
- Move forwards past the Assault Enforcer shooting you, and grab the Shrinker on the first area on the left. It will be behind the wall past the screen.
- Continue down the hall until you get to the first opening on the left.
- Head down to the next room (it should be lit blue inside), and clip behind the forcefield by jumping and ducking at the same time.
- Head down the elevator in the center of the room and head right to the Auto Destruct button. +30 Healths encircle the room if you need some.
E2L4 - Fusion Station
- Move forward+right to the switch at the other end of the room and switch it on.
- Follow the passageway on the left, killing the Assault Trooper at the end if you need to (you can also jump+crouch over it).
- Flip the switch on to the left and head through the door to the left.
- Use your jetpack and fly up+left to the final area of the level. Grab the 2 Atomic Healths and the jetpack on the small ledge just below it.
- Enter the metal door and into the final area. Grab the Chaingun as it is the trigger for the Auto Destruct button to appear in the middle.
- An Atomic Health is in the middle just to the right of the Chaingun, grab that before finishing the level.
- Pull out your shrinker as you hit the Auto Destruct button as you need to use it during the next level.
E2L5 - Occupied Territory
- Push/shoot the button behind you and head out of the sliding doors using your steroids. (Running into them while using steroids has been known to kill you, be cautious until you get used to running past them).
- Head left past the doors that are closing (you may need to jump over them) and down the passageway past the 3 Assault Enforcers shooting at you.
- Ignore them and head into the next room to the other end. The 2 Assault Commanders firing rockets at you usually do not kill you, but may decrease your health.
- Open the doors on the farthest end and wait for them to open enough to jump out of. (This upcoming clip requires the steroids to still be in effect).
- Stand on the caution tape and jump towards the doors in front of you (they require a Blue Access Card).
- Duck + jump at the same time as you land to clip under them into the next room. (It has been reported that crouching at the rightmost corner and ducking + jumping also works (Softman25)).
- Turn around until you see the white lights against the wall and fly up.
- Use your Shrinker to get the Assault Enforcer out of the way, or kill it if need be. Grab the +30 Health if you need it.
- Head left and grab the Devastator ammo, and back to where you were.
- Press the switch on the right and quickly fly towards the right opening that slides open in front of you.
- Aim your Shrinker at the Mini-Battlelord's feet to get rid of it, and flip the switch.
- Move right to the Auto Destruct button.
E2L6 - Tiberius Station
- Shoot your Shrinker at the air vent as you spawn and switch to your pistol.
Route 1
- Jump through it and shoot your pistol at the button ahead (or press it).
- Jump off the area into the next under the door.
- Head forward+right to the next door, ignoring the 3 Assault Troopers firing at you.
Route 2
- Jump through it and shoot the air vent on the right at the other side of the next room.
- Head through it and move right until you get the next air vent. Shoot it and head through it.
- Head forward to the next door, ignoring the 3 Assault Troopers firing at you.
- Use your jetpack to fly to the air vent above you and move forward+right to the next one. Shoot it and move to the next room.
- Shoot the yellow canisters and head towards the pillar in the center of the room.
- Fall down the hole that appears into the next vent and keep moving forwards to the next air vent.
- Shoot the air vent and finish the level. The Assault Enforcer behind you can be ignored as you finish the level.
E2L7 - Lunar Reactor
- If you are low on health and still have a medkit, now would be a good time to use it.
- Head out of the doors moving forward+left to the metal doors at the end of the hall to the left.
- Ignore all enemies and head into the next room going right.
- Grab the Devastator ammo, steroids, and medkit on the floor to the left and head into the second stall.
- Grab the Blue Access Card behind the Assault Trooper and head back into the main area, still ignoring all enemies.
- Move forwards down the hall and use the Blue Access Card.
- Move right until you get to the middle of the grate. Stay against the wall on the right.
- Jump + duck to clip under it, and head right into the air vent, killing any slimes you need to.
- As you get to the brightly lit section of the air vent, shoot the first tile and fly out to the area in front of you using your jetpack.
- Grab the Yellow Access Card and head back into the air vent, going back the way you came.
- Head down the stream of sludge to the other end and blow up the crack in the wall using the RPG (if you have one) or the Devastator.
- Head through it and move forwards to the door requiring the Yellow Access Card.
- Use your medkit if you need to, and head into the next room.
- If you need to, shoot your Shrinker at the Battlelord at the other end and ignore it. Grab the Devastator ammo in the corner to the right.
- Fire your RPG at the Assault Enforcer at the bottom of the staircase on the right. (Use your jetpack to avoid spawning any further enemies).
- Follow the staircase down and ignore the other Assault Enforcer attempting to block it.
- Head forwards into the next room to the other end and flip the switch on the right.
- Head right and grab the Devastator ammo on the ledge above you.
- Move back some and fire your RPG (or Devastator) at the top of the generator to blow it up.
- Move to the set of opening doors on your left and ignore the Assault Commander firing at you.
- Head down the collapsing hall to the Auto Destruct button, and use a medkit if you need to in order not to die. Another Assault Commander will be waiting in the final room just in front of the Auto Destruct button.
E2L8 - Dark Side
- It is advised not to use your medkit yet if you still have it.
- Head out of the doors and grab the +30 Health on the right if you need it. Head left to the elevator.
- Head down the elevator and bring out your Shrinker.
- Move forwards through the next set of doors and use your jetpack to fly over to the passageway slightly above you and to the left.
- Flip the switch at the end of it and shrink the Assault Enforcer beside the door.
- Grab the Shrinker behind the map to the right and wait for the transport to arrive.
- Flip the switch in the transport to head to the next area.
- Grab the medkit to the right if you need it and head down the next passageway.
- Shrink the Assault Enforcer blocking the set of doors and head through them. Step on it if you need to.
- Go through the next set of doors and ignore the enemies around you. Use your jetpack to fly to the other end.
- Head through the next passageway and shrink anything that gets in the way.
- After going through the next set of doors, use your jetpack to fly up and right to the Yellow Access Card. The enemies in that room can be ignored unless they get in the way.
- Jump down and grab the Devastator to the right, and head back to the transport.
- Flip the switch in the transport and head back outside.
- Once you use your jetpack to fly over the wall again, drop down and head to the hall on the right and use the Yellow Access Card.
Route 1 (very unsafe, use for WR attempts!)
Route 1 follows the Xbox 360 IL strat. This was recently discovered to be possible in Megaton. Softman25 demonstrates the route in this Twitch highlight
- Open the doors and head into the next room.
- Flip the switch and fly upwards into an air vent in the ceiling. You should come to a secret area.
- Leave the area through the opening on the left and use your steroids.
- Head forwards and move past the door on your left.
- Turn around and face the door, and jump + duck at it to clip under it. (It has been reported that you could also fire an RPG at the enemies behind the door to help increase your chances of doing the clip).
Route 2 (marathon-safe strat)
- Open the doors and quickly close them again once you are past them to block the Assault Enforcer standing near them.
- Head left and flip the switch. Kill the Assault Enforcer and grab the +30 Health if you need it, then wait for the transport to arrive.
- Flip the switch in the transport and shrink the group of Assault Troopers at the end if you need to.
- Use your steroids.
- Head right down the next passageway, ignoring the enemies.
- Head through the door on the left and into the next room.
- Move forward+right towards the opening in the cliff. Stay behind the forcefield and clip behind it. Keep moving upwards+left and slowly move your mouse left against the forcefield, similar to the Incubator clip. (This may take a few attempts at first. It is instant death if it fails.)
- Shoot your RPG behind it at the wall to blow a hole in the wall, and head inside. Enemies can be ignored.
- The center prism in the middle is a teleporter, touch the front of it to head to the next room.
- Go to the opposite end and to the right to a pool of water to reach the Auto Destruct button.
Alternate route for super crazy persons
- It's tough to explain in words, so I won't, but essentially, it's a damage overhang clip into a DM teleporter that saves about 40 seconds of the level. See this link to see it demonstrated
- If you perform the clip and have enough steroids to make it to the forcefield clip - do so. You will need to grab a Devastator from Overlord. (When you enter Overlord arena, 90 degrees left into the niche on the wall, underwater)
- If you perform the clip 'late' on your steroids, fly up in the large concrete arena and turn off the forcefield 'like normal' - also grabbing the Devastator there.
E2L9 - Overlord
- Follow the passageway to the surface.
- Shoot at the circular air vent to open it and use your jetpack to fly into it.
- Grab the Atomic Health on top of the fan blade if you need it, and carefully fall down to the boss room.
- Use your Devastator to kill the Overlord and finish the episode. It is behind the large metal doors.
E3L1 - Raw Meat
- Grab the Devastator in the secret compartment to your right (if you want to get it now).
- Jump off the building when you can and head into the main building.
- Grab the jetpack in the first room that opens to the left. It is in a secret compartment on the left side of the room.
- Head into the second room and wait for the table to slide down enough to get into the small room behind it.
- Grab the steroids on top of the fan blades and flip the switch on.
- Head out of the room, using the steroids, and go left to the green slime room. The doors there are now open.
- Behind the wall in the room is an opening in the building. Jump out of it and use your jetpack to gain some height after you jump out. Be against the brick wall in front of you.
- After you feel you gained enough height, fall and jump + duck as you land. You should clip under the door.
- Kill the Assault Enforcer awaiting you if you need to, and head through the window that is opening to the Auto Destruct button.
E3L2 - Bank Roll
- Move forward+left into the trash bin and grab the medkit.
- Use the medkit and jump out going backwards+left to behind the trashcans.
- Shoot the trashcan closest to the trash bin to grab the steroids, and use them upon getting them.
- Head forwards down the passageway and go right until you are below the office area.
- Use your jetpack to fly up into it.
- Grab the steroids, push the button on the front of the desk, grab the Blue Access Card, and jump off.
- Ignore all enemies and use the Blue Access Card.
- Quickly move through the area until you get to the desk on the other end. If you move too slowly, the Laser Tripbombs between each opening will activate before you get to the desk.
- Push/shoot the button behind the desk and grab the jetpack (if you need it) in the secret compartment behind the painting.
- Head through the doors at the other end of the room, ignoring the Pig Cop, and kill the Assault Enforcer awaiting you inside if you need to.
- Aim your Devastator at a slight left angle against the small section of the front wall on the right of the vault door, and shoot it. Crouch if you need to. TheBlackParrot demonstrates this in this YouTube video
- Head back to the previous room and out through the hole that is now in the wall.
- Continue moving forwards past the enemies and head to the Auto Destruct button.

Route
Any% Glitchless is run entirely on the Piece of Cake difficulty. The goal of this category is to finish the original 3 episodes: L.A. Meltdown, Lunar Apocalypse, and Shrapnel City in the quickest time possible using anything except glitches and cheats. Unlike standard Any%, any glitch done during an Any% (Glitchless) run will invalidate it.

Route
100S is run entirely on the Piece of Cake difficulty.
The goal of this category is to finish the original 3 episodes: L.A. Meltdown, Lunar Apocalypse, and Shrapnel City in the quickest time possible exploiting any bug/glitch found in the route. All secrets must be obtained, and all secret levels must also be completed. Cheating will invalidate your run.
The route for 100S is still being heavily optimized. Check the runs for current route details.

Route
100% is typically run on the Piece of Cake difficulty, as it is the fastest.
In 100%, the goal is to complete the game (all 3 original episodes: L.A. Meltdown, Lunar Apocalypse, and Shrapnel City) in the fastest time, while also having triggered all of the secrets and having scored all available kills in every level. Additionally, all secret levels must have been visited and completed to the same extent. Typing in cheats will invalidate your run.
Note that this differs from Max% in that enemy spawn triggers can be avoided!
Some levels contain enemies that cannot be killed: for these levels, the tally should only be missing the enemies that are not killable.
Note that in 100%, you cannot play on "Damn, I'm Good!" difficulty, as levels on this difficulty have no maximum number of kills.
