Revision as of 17:56, 4 July 2014

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.

Any% (Glitchless)

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.

E1L1 - Hollywood Holocaust

If you have run this level in standard Any% before, then the route will seem very familiar.

1. Shoot or kick the fan vent in the top of the level, fall down and start moving diagonally forward+right.
2. 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.
3. Head to the poster in the secret room and open it, then grab the steroids.
4. Using the steroids, jump out of a window onto the wall on the other side.
5. Head down the wall and jump forward+left onto the ledge near the Auto Destruct button.
6. Shoot or kick the glass and finish the level.

E1L2 - Red Light District

1. Head out of the elevator you start the level in and into the shop on the left.
2. Kill the Pig Cop that may be in your way if you wish to.
3. Head right to the red door, grabbing the Atomic Health and Shotgun on the other end if you wish to.
4. Solve the button puzzle, head into the new room and use the elevator on the other end.
   (Solution: on; off; on)
5. Heading to the right, grab the Blue Access Card and shoot and jump out of the glass window further onto the right of the room.
6. Head forwards to the booth beyond the door requiring the Yellow Access Card, and kill the Pig Cop.
7. Use the Blue Access Card and solve the button puzzle that appears.
   (Solution: off; on; on; off)
8. Flip the switch that appears in front of you and run to the pillar just in front of the building that is now falling.
   
9. After waiting for the explosions to stop, run diagonally forward+right and grab the Yellow Access Card. A medkit is on the other end near the sewer if you need it.
10. Head back to the red door you passed earlier and use the Yellow Access Card.
11. Ignore the Pig Cop on the right as you enter and head left.
12. 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.
13. Ignore all enemies and grab the Red Access Card in the cabinet.
14. Head out of the bar, evading the 3 Pig Cops that just spawned, and into the next hall.
15. Use the Red Access Card and, ignoring everything in the new room, shoot the air vent on the right.
16. Jump into the now open air vent (there is a table you can use to jump into it if need be), grab the items in it and shoot/kick the air vent on the other end.
17. Use the Pig Cop standing in front of the ledge and jump onto it. Jump off the Pig Cop onto the ledge and follow it down to the end of the level.
    If you have ran Any% before and are using the Megaton Edition, do not use the Death Row skip as that is a glitch and will invalidate the run.
18. Walk into the end level trap as intended.

E1L3 - Death Row

1. Head right and kick the glass window open. Jump into the room, and push the button on the right. A pistol and some ammo is on the other end if you need it.

6. Head out of the gear room and back to the red door requiring the Blue Access Card. Use the Card and crouch underneath the Laser Tripbomb.
7. Ignore the Pig Cops and head forwards. Head into the first room on your left and jump over the Laser Tripbomb that just activated. You will need to be quick in this room or you will kill yourself.
8. Grab the Yellow Access Card and jump out just before you get to the slanted part of the floor. This will allow you just enough height not to hit the 2 Laser Tripbombs in front of you.

13. Press/shoot the button ahead of you and head into the room that slid open.
14. Press/shoot the button on the other end to reveal 2 doors behind you. Head into the one on the right (the switch on the inside should be labeled "02").

3. Enter the hole in the wall (grabbing the +30 Health if you need it) and kill the Assault Trooper at the top.
4. Grab the RPG on your left and the Blue Access Card on your right. Jump off the ledge and head to the red door requiring the Blue Access Card on the other end of the area on the left.

8. Let the claw grab you from above and move you onto the higher conveyor belt. Shoot the barrel of toxic waste in front of you and step onto the caution area.
9. Let the other claw grab you and move you in front of an area sealed off by glass. Kill the Pig Cop behind it and head into the room.
10. Grab the Red Access Card and head back into the main room. Head diagonally forward+left to the room with 2 tiny entrances on the left and right.
11. Use the Red Access Card and let the shrinker behind it hit you. Head into the next room using the entrance on the right and wait in a corner to grow back to full size. Enemies can and will crush you to your death if they can get to you.
12. Kill the Assault Trooper in the room and flip the switch on. Let the shrinker hit you and head back to the other room. Go in to the new hall that opened on the right and wait to grow back to full size.
13. Head underwater moving diagonally forward+left and press/shoot the button in the room past the mines.
14. Head to the surface and wait for the water level to rise enough. Be in front of the toxic waterfall and grab the steroids to the left of it.
15. Using the steroids, head to the small ledge on the other end and jump off the small cliff on the right while moving forwards. This takes you to a teleporter which allows you to skip the rest of the level. TheBlackParrot demonstrates this in this YouTube video.
16. Open the door in front of you and use the Auto Destruct button on your left.

The skip used in the last part of the level is not considered a glitch, as no glitches are needed to access it.

E1L5 - The Abyss

1. Head down the sewer and onto the narrow ledge on the left.
2. Once you get to the end of the ledge, grab the Blue Access Card and head back to the toxic waste.
3. Go left and use the Blue Access Card. Head down the passageway to the next ledge on the left, killing any enemies you need to.
4. Stay right down the other passage way and jump onto the cliff in front of you. Step in front of the "SAN ANDREAS FAULT" sign to trigger the earthquake.
5. Jump onto one of the falling cliffs (the one of the left that falls quicker has an Atomic Health) and jump down into the stream of toxic waste.

   Try to press it and jump onto the last part of the staircase to save time.
9. Make sure as you step off the staircase that you trigger the next earthquake. It may not trigger if you move too fast and it will waste time.
10. Press the next hand in front of you and jump on the ledge rising up on the right.
11. Press the hand above it and wait for the shrinker on the far end to hit you. Head into the next area via the small passageway on the floor to the right.

13. Follow the next few passageways and kill any enemies in your way if you need to.
14. Once you get to a metal door, open it and head down to the opening door. The Octabrain at the end of it is usually of no threat.
15. 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.

17. Grab the medkit (use your previous one if you have one) 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, but about 20 total is optimal to kill the Battlelord.

E2L3 - Warp Factor

1. Wait for the elevator to stop and head to the metal door in front of you.
2. Continue in diagonally forward+left and head into the elevator to the left. It will start going down on it's own as it explodes. The back-left corner is a safe spot.

17. Use the Yellow Access Card on the large metal door in the middle of the area past the first opening on the left.
18. Grab the Shrinker ammo sitting in the middle of the two walkways and use the one on the right as it makes you run faster.
19. Head left until you come to the first metal door on the right (not the one you first see in front of you).
20. As you enter the room, there will be a Security screen and a switch on the right. Flip it to the off position and head back down the walkways to the previous area.
21. Enter the opening and into the blue lighted room in the middle. If you were fast enough, you should not have to wait for the path to be clear to enter the elevator. If you miss it, it adds around 15 seconds to the time, so it is very important to be a bit speedy in this level.
22. Head down the elevator and make sure your health is above 50. Grab a +30 Health at the bottom floor if you need it and use the Auto Destruct button to finish the level.

7. Pull out your shrinker as you hit the Auto Destruct button as you need to use it during the next level.

E2L5 - Occupied Territory

1. 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).
2. 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.
3. 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.

6. Grab the Red Access Card in the middle area and head back out to the main area moving forward+left. There may be a slew of enemies now after you but you can avoid them if you have enough health and are fast enough. Otherwise, use your Shrinker and try to get rid of those in your way.

15. Go back to the opening and press the left button.
16. Use your jetpack and quickly fly to the right Battlelord and shoot your Shrinker at its feet. Stay out of the range of the left Battlelord. (LLCoolDave demonstrates this in this YouTube video)
