Pick up whatever item you want to have in your main inventory. Go into the advanced training room and pick one of the tutorial warps that you'd like to cheese first. At the start of the game follow along until you come to the training rooms. This allows you to get a pistol, the laser pistol, some psi- & med-hypos, standard & AP pistol ammo plus a Psi-Amp before you have access to your inventory & before you even select your class. In a way, you're essentially warping reality to gain some otherwise non-starting items at the start without resorting to the console. This trick is a semi-duplication exploit which allows you to take items from the advanced training "cyber map" rooms into the main game. I'd imagine a glitchless any% run would consider these exploits against the rules, whereas in a 100% speedrun w/glitches it may not matter and may actually prove beneficial if it speeds up the acquisition of certain items that are otherwise hard to obtain and/or are more random drop oriented. I'd recommend checking with said communities to determine what they consider allowed or not depending on which type of run you're going for.

I do not claim to have discovered most of the exploits herein I'm just attempting to aggregate exploits in one spot, so that anyone can access them and not have to risk fathoming the depths of google, discussion pages, reddit posts etc.Īside from that, the tricks may be considered exploits in the eyes of speedrunner communities, especially in the instance of the second trick as it involves intentionally bypassing/breaking a specific event trigger to repeat an action you're only supposed to do once. This guide's for anyone who wants to be obscenely over-powered at the very beginning of the game.

This is intended for single player, and as such, it's your responsibility to use or not use this info as I'm certain there will be others that have no issue with it. WARNING: The nature of this guide is to make a meme character, if you feel you cannot resist the urge to use these exploits for sake of them "ruining your game", I strongly advise you to click away now.
