PB and WR for The Surge All Bosses (No skips or glitches). Pretty happy with it. Compared to my previous PB I lose time on Big Sister, Security, and Exec Forum. The rest of the segments went well. Low 56s is reasonably going to happen. 55:XX would be a monster of a run unless I find some more ways to save time. Routing time saves include not upgrading armor and going without the plasmic regenerator. I also starting postponing getting the head armor until biolabs so I can get my core level to 16 and use the kinesthetic amplifier right away.

@@skunkycatog Out of 100 attempts, maybe 5 runs would finish. Many enemies have an attack that can one-shot you and almost all have attacks that will two-shot you. In general I found I would gain or lose time on the bosses, but most of my deaths were from all the enemies between the bosses.
The Black Cerberus fight is on a timer. After a minute or so he goes back and the tanks allow him to heal and call in another PAX. The goal is to kill him fast enough so that he doesn't get the chance to go back and summon/heal.
The camera angle at the end of the fight is based on Warren's position. I keep him as far back as possible so the camera doesn't change. It is also the only place safe from the laser arms so I can't really go anywhere else.
I really like how OP the single-rigged weapons in this game were, but unfortunately in the sequel they patched my favorite moveset. I just "block-countered" every annoying enemy type, including the last boss in its second stage who could also be exploited this way.
you know the first boss you fight can shoot his missiles into himself if you hide under him when they go off, PAX literally kills itself for you lol maybe shave off some time!!
