So the level can be rushed, you dont need the tank. Good, I was trying to find a way I could do that.

Data Hive complete. Don't think there's much I'd do differently, so this will be the walkthrough run as well unless anyone has any significant discoveries that I didn't run across.


I am working on a way to go through the drone hive without the drones spawning. I have mannaged to do it I just need to refine it.


O rly? Does that include the Leader?


Yes, no Drones in that area at all. Good thing is unlike the other loadzones I can skip in other levels with this one you can finish the level.

I will try and get a video of me doing it on easy.

Film of not having to kill either tank up and rendered :D

I'll watch it later today, after college as I'm about to go to sleep now considering it's 00:35 in morning.

Very nice. Can you suvive that though if you are playing on Mythic? Explosions are bigger and you are weaker. If it works good then that is amazing.

As far as I know you can survive more because you have tilt on and it helps a lot to have cowbell on.

Hive skip is pretty epic if you ask me.

Very nicely done. I'll try this on Legendary to check that survival is possible.

I think I have found a good way to speed run the whole of the tank level sucsesfully. I will try it out tonight and see how well I can do using it.

Hello, Community!

Hopefully if you're reading this, it's because you're interesting in kicking your campaign experience up a notch by cranking up the Legendary with all skulls activated :-) Need advice? A guide? Maybe even a friendly community to cheer you on and help guide you through the process? Then give our Mythic thread a read, and Godspeed on your Mythic journey!

Best Regards,
The Tyrant

I watched the video. Even if killing the tanks isn't a trigger, clearly it won't just open when you approach it without doing anything. I've tried it. So has Matclan. You're going to have to kill a certain number of enemies in the area, so you're still not rushing. And if you have to do that, you might as well get the tank. Getting the tank is NOT difficult.

Also consider the following...

Even if you could rush the door and have it open, you still need to at least clear some of the enemies that will emerge and then the ones just beyond them. Not killing the previous enemies before hand will leave you battling enemies both in front of you and behind you.

Muzza, excellent find with the Drones! We'll have to give this a try on an amped up Legendary. If it plays out, I may be reworking my Data Hive.

I tried it again today, simply splattering enough brutes while on approch seems to open the door. If you give Dutch the rockets as the door is opening then they will all shoot him, I managed to get past several times but then died while fighting the tank and the waves of enamys at the end.

I will experiment further sometime this week. In the mean time, if anyone is up for testing, I'm certainly open to suggestions.

Thanks. I find using the tank to hard, but if this doesn't work when you try it then I will just try again with the tank, see if I have improved.

I'll test it on Friday night. If you're in town we can talk and compare results too.
Other than that I've got other things to do during the week so I don't really want to take the time out for something long like testing jumps and rushes in Campaign.

Also, there's been no update witht he render minutes, it seems they're going to be completely inaccesable to me. :-(

Thanks for the render :-)

If you were blocked, it was because you violated one of my personal rules listed in my signature at some point in time.

*unblocking*

Again, thank you!

I tried to use your way of doing the tank level, wow its hard. Instead I tried to do Data Hive and the last level. The last level is mega hard, I knew it was going to be hard, but that hard? wow. Any way, Data Hive isn't that bad, I think once the guide comes out I will compleate that level next.

Im going to do a few more tests to find where the best location for the box is and whether jumping affects it.
