Speed Run Strategies

• General Tricks

Backpack Reloading
When you have to (or want to) reload your gun, press X, X, then Y (or equivalent). This will result in you being able to switch weapons, but your gun will still reload. This lets you fire your other weapon while the other one is reloading in your pocket.

Grenade/Rocket jumping
Simply throw a grenade on the ground, stand over it, and jump when it explodes and it will propel you higher than a normal jump. Very useful for getting to high places. Rocket jumping works the same way and gets you higher than just a grenade, but you need to put more distance between you and the explosion (by jumping off a small ledge or something) because it does more damage.
