Industrial Sabotage CO-OP Speedrun |

[@benicopter]

Yes, this is hazard 2. This is a speedrun.com submission and there are categories for haz2 and haz5. Even though it is hazard 2, it was very difficult to beat the previous time of 5.53. You need to rely on a really good seed, simple hacking pod connections, and a quick Caretaker fight. There's room for improvement, but we'll wait until this record gets beat before trying again. I just like that Industrial Sabotage is finally starting to become a relatively quick mission lol

Dang that was a really good seed! Driller found his station first and you found yours shortly after. Seems this category is about to just be looking for really good seeds from now on and possibly caretaker rng.

[@benicopter]

I can't tell you how many resets this took. The seeding plays a crucial role in even contending for a good time. If we couldn't start the hacking pod prior to 1 minute and 20 seconds it was a reset. What happened a lot is one of us would get a good hacking pod placement, but the other would have one land in the tunnel or on a cliff, forcing us to reset. It was incredibly rare that we both got a good location for the hacking pod

Glad to see someone so thoroughly put the caretaker in its place

[@Autogyro.001]

That is so fun to see, given that my crew does Haz 1 IS 'cause we've hated is so much, it's cool to incorporate what I see you guys doing. The whole doing both power stations at the same time, driller C4s to just get all the shields off... etc. lots of useful stuff. I now know to bring my embedded dets for the eye, and just dodge the arms without worrying about them. So cool that you two beat it! Hope it holds for a bit.

[@benicopter]

Another good option is using cryo grenades on the Caretaker. One cryo grenade will weaken the vents considerably so it will take more damage. Really easy to kill all the vents quickly using that strategy

[@Autogyro.001]

@@benicopter I had no idea!!! Thank you!

[@reedfrombigisland]

Did not know you could attach c4 to the caretaker. Might make playing cryo driller more fun on caretaker missions lol.

Can I get your scout build? Pretty sure I’m running something similar

[@ThaBeatConductor]

I think the main area you could have saved time is by not having driller shoot the eye at all. I'm pretty sure even on 2-player haz 2 embedded dets one-cycles the eye.

[@benicopter]

Yeah I remember the embedded dets being inconsistent with one-cycling the eye. We didn’t really practice it enough, though. It probably would’ve worked better, but I’m not planning on running Industrial Sabotage again for a while
