 **Q: What is NG++?**
-**A:** New Game++. It refers to loading a completed save file for the 3rd round. It enables some benefits such as skipping Stillmans bomb tutorial, but also adds extra randomness. Ames location in the hostage room is the main example. NG++ also resets strut D's bomb locations for Hard and above.

 **Q: What are the benefits and drawbacks of using the box?**
+**A:**
+Pros:
+  * Staying low (useful in strut E and to avoid Harrier's machine gun)
+  * If equipped at the right time, guards won't fire at you upon detection saving time and health
+  * Not being detected by enemies when stationary (obvious)
+  * Easy to turn around (useful when avoiding Fortune's shots)
+Cons:
+  * Going slower when in a box
+  * You have to invest a slight bit of time to get one
+  * Having to spend a second or two to equip it
+**Q: Are Raiden's cartwheel flips faster than running?**
+**A:** Yes, they're about 0.1 seconds faster if done right. However, a bad cartwheel can lose more than a second of time.
