Bounty Hunter Any% Speed Runs!

thatPolarBear · Dec '18

I was messing around the other day and I thought it would be a neat challenge to see how fast I could beat bounty hunter. I found it was much harder than I thought, I could easily skip to Veteran and then skip to Vanguard but it took very long to kite, and ended up taking much longer than I thought.

Anyways here are the rules:

Any% (beat an entire vanguard system)
Hard difficulty, tiny galaxy, latest stable update
No mods or alterations to the game
Time warp is free game (for now)
You can start with any equal to or less than 80k ship
feel free to use keyboard macros (you press one key to press multiple)
but no tool assistance (automatic mouse movement)
Record the run, images don't count
No video editing of the run
Going into debt automatically disqualifies your run!

Post your runs down below, the fastest time in 2 months will get (undetermined as of yet, video game)

example run coming soon.

and expect the example run some time before Friday, I have finals coming up so I don't have much time to do stuff like this.

thatPolarBear Well I attempted this, and the second ship I ran into was a slicer. Nearly impossible to beat at that point > : P

Also, because the game can be so RNG, I propose a shorter run, of Vanguard%. Get to, and defeat a vanguard sector as fast as possible, otherwise with the same settings

Edit: Sorry to necropost, someone linked me this article and I didn't realize how old it was : P
