But what if the armor could be skipped? Runners have been trying and failing to shave down their times by skipping the armor for years. The tricky part is there are sections of the Aztec level where Bond is guaranteed to get hit. Specifically, there’s a turret in one of the ducts that is guaranteed to mess a secret agent up.
Or it was, until a couple of runners discovered a stupid turret trick. Instead of simply running straight down the vent and getting shot, players can go forward just enough to get the turret’s attention and then step backwards, which causes it to start turning around to track them. This gives players enough time to run down the corridor without getting shot. That, in turn, gives players full health leading into the final room, which speedrunner Gus Riolo used to achieve the new world record for 00 Agent Aztec of 1:34 late last month.
Now that the new strat has been proven, it’s only a matter of time before someone else uses it to shave off another second or so. That’s what speedrunning is all about, searching for new ways to achieve faster times, even after decades of failed attempts suggest that it can’t be done.
