→Hut grenade: actual link for the 0.10-0.15 timesave
=== Hut grenade ===
=== Hut grenade ===
The "last piece of the puzzle" found by Berg during his strategising for the [https://rankings.the-elite.net/~berg/time/206357 agent untied], and measured as saving a surprising 0.10-0.15s on console. Also called "eliminating the hut [[Guards|guards]]", it just involves tossing a grenade very imprecisely in the hut somewhere to kill both of the guards there. This is incredibly free and should be used by all players. <ref>{{cite web | url=https://forums.the-elite.net/index.php?topic=23426.msg464467#msg464467|title=comment on Agent 0:21|access-date=July 16, 2021}}</ref>

The thinking is that these guards spend a significant part of the run aiming at Bond down the entire length of the runway, and the end of the run is already more [[Lag|laggy]] due to explosions and other runway guards. It has always been done on SA out of necessity - these guards regularly blow up the plane - but on agent it was assumed that the extra grenade explosion would just make more lag, and so cost time if anything.
