1 Rules Howdy friends! Welcome to the second Desperados III – Community Speedrun Challenge ("challenge"). Here is how it works and how you can participate for a chance to win some funky prizes... 1.1 The Challenge It's simple, really. If you ("player") want to win the challenge, you have to be fast! Faster than anyone else. However, it's not just a "complete the level as fast as you can" kind of thing. We spiced it up by adding a challenge. You will have to speedrun the level "Eagle Falls" as fast as you can – without raising any alarms and by getting the dynamite from the shooting range. • Level: Eagle Falls • Difficulty: Normal • Settings: You can use your own game settings and your own control schemes. • Challenge: Complete the level as fast as you can without triggering any alarms. You have to get the dynamite for blowing up the bridge in the shooting range! • Note: To make the speedrun challenge more accessible to all players, it is not allowed to use the Fast Forward mode! Moreover, it is not allowed to use game-breaking Glitches, such as the "Showdown Mode Body Carry Teleport” or any other "Teleport Glitches" that usually involve the "Showdown Mode" giving players, who exploit it, an unfair advantage by being able to teleport, e.g., characters through the map. 1.2 How can I participate? To participate you have to record your best speedrun playthrough of the described challenge above, then upload it on YouTube and send the uncut (!) video (also showing the Replay Screen and Mission Stats Screen upon mission completion) as link to [email protected]. During your speedrun you can quicksave / quickload if you prefer. But it is not allowed to load the game from the main menu. To make the speedrun challenge more accessible to all players, it is not allowed to use the Fast Forward mode! Moreover, it is not allowed to use game-breaking Glitches, such as the "Showdown Mode Body Carry Teleport” or any other "Teleport Glitches" that usually involve the "Showdown Mode" giving players, who exploit it, an unfair advantage by being able to teleport, e.g., characters through the map. The submission will only be accepted if you have sent the uploaded and uncut video of your speedrun playthrough to the mentioned email address as a valid and accessible YouTube link.
