Any% aims to finish the game as fast as possible. In this category lethal weapon strategies against enemies are used, alerts taken in favor for faster walking lines and ignoring most laser traps and explosives by becoming a zombie snake. The biggest skip is not grabbing the Nikita weapon in the armory and not having to shoot the 3 sensors in B2 to continue directly to the Engineering room.

• Afterwards, continue to round the crate and fire north into the right guard.
• Lethal Guard Hallways Example

Technically lethal can be faster. While shooting the guards only takes 1 lethal shot vs 2 non-lethal shots (most of the time), it will even out with the delay of opening the door. When killing the guards in a lethal matter, they will need to despawn first before the door opens. In that time Snake can move closer to the door. Non-Lethal takedowns don't require the guards to despawn to have the door open, but snake also needs to walk further. If a way is found to consistently one non-lethal shot both guards in this hallway, non-lethal can be faster.

Lethal Fight Example

• After the elevator lands, skip the cutscene
• Run into the corner and fire at the Commander in TPV
• Run down and pick up the FAMAS, equip the FAMAS (one tap up)
• run east to pick up ammo, chaff and ration (make sure to equip rations!)
• Tossing chaff grenades will speed up the i-frames that Commander has.
• The goal is to minimize Commander's movement and i-frames throughout the fight.
• Hold down fire to autofire the FAMAS
• You can ignore the goon that comes in, focus on the Commander
• Whenever a cutscene plays, resources respawn, so take advantage to run east and pick up ammo/rations again

• After defeating the Commander, IGT ends when credits begin - Mash the action buton so the “Error” screen moves over to credits as soon as possible.
