- Back with more Enter The Gungeon content! This video is about how Napalm and HollowGun have been battling for the top position on the leaderboard and how they've adopted a new strategy with the Gunslinger. As soon as there is new news in the speedrunning community I'll be posting an update video. Leave a comment letting me know who you're rooting for, I'm curious.

I can imagine why Napalm hates the strat. Imagine how many times you have to reset runs to get the AWP like that, that has to be just hours of resetting runs. Now imagine if after all that resetting you just don't get a WR time, welp time to waste hours resetting runs again
I've tried grinding AWP Gunslinger runs, and it honestly is so tedious. If you want my opinion, and I reckon Napalm would agree with me on this, the Bullet character is the most fun character to speedrun with despite not being the most efficient.
He's a controller player
@@echozer068 what does that have to do with anything
@Bob's #1 fan try spinning ur control stick 6 times every shot vs rotating a mouse
@@alenshirvanyan473 I've done it plenty on controller, the time waste vs KBM is almost nothing
I love how Napalm is the old guy that comes out of retirement to beat the new kid on the block
He is Gungeon's Rocky
There’s something so funny to me about “beat the new kid on the block”
the fact that using an AWP asiimov to trickshot all the bosses is not only a real strat, but the WORLD RECORD strat is what makes this game amazing
We as a society never evolved beyond MLG trickshots despite what we'd like to believe lol
Not that amazing considering that every runner that wants to beat or at least get near these numbers will have to miserably reset for a rare red chest that has a 1 in 2 chance to drop a gun and a much more rare chance to drop exactly AWP, Gungeon speedrun meta just died and became even more grind-based than it ever was, nothing amazing really
@@jamesgreen9712 stay mad
@@iiRoot_ why would I? Im not running gungeon. It sucks for runners tho
@@jamesgreen9712 It would be nice if they just made a separate AWP category
I'll be honest. The bullet route may be slower but it looks way cooler
It really is, there's so much more freedom with the Bullet, whereas with the Gunslinger you have to get ONE SPECIFIC GUN or you have to reset.
@@ThatHomieDemon imo these games work best as personal challenges, that's where rogues shine w creativity
@@gl00merz i completely agree, beating the game is only a small fraction of a roguelikes potential. Speedruns unlock hundreds of extra hours of gameplay which is what makes them so great.
Bullet is also so fun to play
I've been playing Gungeon for years and never thought about speedrunning. Your first video inspired me to start trying it out. Having so much fun!
I'm glad you've been giving it a go! I check the leaderboards almost daily, is there any particular username you use on speedrun.com that I might see?
im so happy these videos are becoming popular, it shows that there were fans were this game all the time!
Love the hilarious intro! good vid as always and look forward to the peglin content!
Thanks :)
Great vid, love that you added the tiny bits of personality as well (with the run descriptions saying "soon" and "I hate this strat")
A strat that requires a LOT of luck that I thought of was paradox and to hope for awp and gunslinger's item for the random items of paradox
That definitely is a good idea for a Strat, you'd be able to cycle through runs very quickly because you could just reset immediately if you didn't have AWP. It would cost a LOT of hegemony credits though.
@@ThatHomieDemon true
@@ThatHomieDemon nothing Cheat Engine can't fix if it still works. lol
This is actually probably the perfect strat assuming you get enough ammo to only use awp
@Ramiro C scope or Lich eye bullets will do it
0:09 "Not the salt guy" That absolutely killed me
Amazing video! Can't believe you've got anything less than 100k subs with the quality of these vids.
Thank you! Hopefully someday I'll get to that point, it's my dream to do this as a job.
Very clean vid, liked your viral video before aswell. You are on a good youtube path my friend, and I concede I am merely commenting for the algorithm and wishing you good luck for future vids!
I've only ever beaten the first boss once so far in like 20 odd attempts at a casual playtrough.
You'll get there, the beauty of Roguelikes is that you gradually watch yourself get better and better as you learn the game :D
Enter the gungeon is so awesome and great video man :]
Hollow gun really needs to practice the awp multi boss shots cause you can just kill the pillars and twins with one bullet
True, there is some time he could have saved there. If I had to give a ballpark guess, I'd say he could save a solid 5 seconds on pillars and like 2 seconds on twins.
now thats what i call a trickshot
amazing, i was thinking about starting to play again and this made me want to even more
I'm glad you enjoyed, Gungeon is a really neat game.
I guess he took the AWPortunnity, haha...;DD
A joke so bad it loops around to being good again XD
Man I’m so glad to see that this game is still active
Me too, especially since this was a 2016 game
In theory I think with the AWP strat you could get a sub 5 if you got insane luck with glitch chests (skips entire floor but you have to fight 2 eye bosses simultaneously and has like a 0.003% chance to replace a chest
EtG players: "This game requires mostly skill."
Also EtG: "Ahahahahaha 360 no-scope goes 1.000.000.000 damage!"
Pov you put in the work and hours to get the gunslinger but people manage to get mad when you use him.
@@zlooxzloox1423 Well, first of all that Awp combo is not Gunslinger exclusive, you just need the Scope aswell which anyone can find.
Second, unlocking Gunslinger requires more luck than skill, since The Paradox starts with random items, and you need to beat the 6th Chamber.
Third, it's a joke. I know you EtG players are very defensive with your game, but take a joke for once.
@@The_D_ray getting all the synergies is hard enough so the one shotting value is worth it.
@@zlooxzloox1423 Rather than hard it's """hard""".
Again, you just need to be lucky. The effort is there, not gonna lie, but you can't say it actively requires skill from the player.
If so Pokémon Shiny hunters are all pro league players.
I'm here after 1h of a run still failing and this dudes finish this game in under 8m... i'm speechlessness, well done to the speed runners
THE GUN 360 NO SCOPES
coolest thing I've ever seen
2k subs? Dude this stuff is gold!
i really do loveetg as a game and Im happy to see it get a second life with speedrunning thanks to your vidoes
Thanks! I'm looking into making videos for other roguelikes as well, but Gungeon will always be around on this channel XD
Phoenix wright in the background. Ive been playing it recently and will always reconize the tune
The soundtrack is great I always come back to it when looking for music for my vids
i finaly got the paradox run complete, just after his wr explained vid poped up
"wrong chanel, wrong guy" lmao nice reference
just think, this video is longer than some enter the gungeon speedruns
I really like the summoning salt intro reference LOL
My channel is just his but with Roguelikes primarily lmao
man speedrunning sounds so fun to try, so I tried and got a 19 minute, thinking I was alright
I then saw the six minute
God I need that kinda skill
Gungeon speedrunners are on their way to haveing the buffest right arms
I just thought of something the wodden blasphemy of the bullets past is better since its just a casey you dont have to charge
Man, you are your own biggest fan.
Lol yeah, I'm just proud of myself for the progress I've made with these videos. My arrogance is just self affirmation presented in the most obnoxious way possible XD
loved the intro
Ty for being the only grunge on youtuber in 2022
I consider myself to be a Roguelike UA-camr, but I definitely love making Gungeon videos and plan on making new videos on the game if anything interesting happens in the Gungeon speedrunning scene!
The intro got me...
Damn I really wish it was the other guy now
Escape rope + AWP? pog
5:54 holy fuck this sidestep was pixelperfect
Very interesting video
Thank you :D
How do you have less than 3k subs?! This video goes into good detail and even has over 100k views! It's not hard to press the sub button, people
Thank you for the kind words! My current longterm goal is to get a 100,000 subscriber silver play button, and I'm certain if I build a catalog of videos like this one it'll happen someday.
The Salt gag at the start was great.
IM SO GLAD THERES SOME PEOPLE THAT UNDERSTOOD IT
Guess the most insane luck run would be, Paradox, spawn with AWP and Escape rope, and getting Lich eye bullets or scope along the way (or visa versa)
Unfortunately you can't get an active item from Paradox, so I'd have to say the best starting luck would have to be Blasphemy with AWP and Lich eye bullets. Also, scope isn't the only thing that AWP synergizes with to give it it's boosted damage, so you'd have to get Lich eye bullets. You're definitely on the right track though, Paradox has the potential to produce an insane time.
Amazing content as Always
Thank you :D
"My new goal I to hit 2k subs before july" congrats buddy
Gunslinger runs should be their own category
Now every singleplayer leaderboard has hollowgun at 1st spot
Napalms quick reload is the best in the game.
Always love to see a brazilian show up in one of these speedrun videos
NGL Brazilians are kinda top tier when it comes to speedrunning
@@ThatHomieDemon i am brazillian and suck at speedrunning
Well i did get 8 mins in boss rush with gunslinger or old goldie but the awp can beat that easily
I’m in the gungeon speedrunning discord and hollowgun is really really dedicated
As someone who is also in the speedrunning discord, I can confirm that Hollow really cares about Gungeon, almost too much to be honest. I'm sure he'll break sub 7 minute sooner rather than later.
one singular like and I'll buy entramce to the arms-realm again
aight it's time to rage again
I have started to speedrun, I managed to get a time of 12:44(36th of the leaderboard) I felt nice :)
Congrats! I'm glad new runners are giving this game a shot.
@@ThatHomieDemon I have been playing this game for a while, I 100% it, didin't want to stop playing etg, so I started speedrunning(it's the first game that I tried to speedrun). I am having a great time trying to get a better time, I might aswell speedrun other games because of the fun I am having.
PS: Your videos are great, keep doing these!
Also how is awp gunslinger only just now the strat I’ve been playing for years and have always thought it would be the best for speedrunning seems obvious considering
It always kind of was, the issue was nobody was trying for WR since Napalm held 7m01s for years by a solid minute and 42 seconds. After my video, HollowGun started grinding runs for WR using the AWP Strats and to counter it Napalm had to begrudgingly fight fire with fire.
This video will pop off like the last one, just watch.
Every time I upload now my heart flutters with the prospect that people will ACTUALLY SEE MY VIDEOS. It's a beautiful thing and I hope that each video does better than the last.
agree
I’ve never been more confused than when I watched your intro. What was that?
Reference to another much larger YT channel who does videos similar to this one. Check out SummoningSalt, he's a great UA-camr
If Connor actually ends up making a video it will spark so much more life into the game.
100 percent, Gungeon Speedrunning would be bigger than ever before
@@ThatHomieDemon We can only hope
representasao br em speedrun nice
To unlock bullet hell do you have to only use the 4 original gungeoniers or can you u use the robot or bullet instead?
You gotta beat the original four characters pasts to unlock Bullet Hell
@@ThatHomieDemon thanks
Honestly I think the only way to go faster would be trying to do paradox and start with Awp + liches eye bullets (if that's even possible)
It is possible, it would just take INSANE luck to get that. Also, if the chamber generation is unlucky you have to start all over again to find the AWP+Lich Eye Bullet combo.
what is the song at the beginning, not the mario galaxy one... it sounds like HOME - Resonance but its not
HOME - We're Finally Landing
I have been playing this game for 3 years and havent even reached the finale boss once 😂
Skill issue
Skill issue
what's the guy you refere at the start, been searching a lot and cant find it help, or at least the song
The UA-camr is SummoningSalt, he makes videos detailing the history of various Nintendo games speedrun World Records. The song he plays at the beginning of his videos is called We're Finally Landing by Home
honestly not a bad video! I think if you have more videos under you it would be awesome but that comes with time.
I definitely have more on the way about a variety of Roguelikes. Gungeon, Dead Cells, Peglin, maybe even Slay the Spire.
Hey how about backpack hero gonna talk about that soon
Right now I'm working on a video for Peglin, but I've really wanted to play backpack hero and I probably will soon on my Twitch. Once I personally learn the Strats for the game I'll start writing a script.
Good vide
Is there a way I could dm you on discord? Think I have just the idea to help doing these runs...
My discord link is in the description
Am at 30 hourd mark, and still havent killed final boss
W vid
7:03 AWPortunity nice
B)
What if someone got the escape rope and awp?
I actually brought this point up in the EtG speedrunning discord, and I think either escape rope or teleporter prototype could be the key to getting the next World Record. HollowGun doesn't think it's possible, but HollowGun is generally pessimistic about the idea of insanely lucky runs.
"I wish to hit 2000 subscribers before july 1st!"
...how ya feel now homie?
I'm feeling pretty good homie
I could have had a really amazing run but i fucked up on the fourth floor
Fourth Floor is the bane of all Gungeon Speedrunners' existance, I hate it so much
@@ThatHomieDemon so I got a good gun first floor and then I was able to skip second and third floor because I got the glitched eye of the beholster then the fourth floor I didnt notice the map in the merchant's room so I ended up going through the whole floor which took awhile and then made it to the dragon and died. I was so pissed 😂.
Esto se puede hacer en consola? O solo en computadora(hablo de lo de girar 360 con el gunslinger para hacer mucho daño)
Se puede hacer en consola.
@@ThatHomieDemon ok muchas gracias 👍
So are... rainbow runs basically banned from speedruns since you can force an awp, and then next floor something like raiden coil (since damage from awp spinning can transfer over to any weapon)
Rainbow runs are their own category. They also rely on AWPs though.
he did 6 50 minute run with mistake that mean this run still can be improve and defeated.
bro its been 9 days and you're at 2.4k subs lol
It feels so great, I'm so happy people are loving the Gungeon content.
Need more Barb% coverage.
How do I unlock the ammo fellow as character?
The bullet? Kill one characters past, after that, Red-caped bullet kins will spawn and 5 must be killed
Are you sure it is not random manipulation?
I know that unity's random range can be ez manipulated
I'm sorry, I don't really know what you mean by random manipulation. You mean like modding the game to make certain items appear more often?
Is there a way to calculate the luck needed to get an AWP on a run?
I'm sure there is, you just have to research the likelihood of getting certain chests and getting certain items within said chests. I'm too dumb to do it but it's certainly possible.
@@ThatHomieDemon "I'm too dumb to do it but it's certainly possible" me too buddy, me too. (in all seriousness I'll try to calculate it, but I hope I won't be wrong, I'll tell youwhen I'm done :D)
I didnt even know the AWP had that ability
It's a synergy that the AWP has, specifically.
The regular Sniper Rifle can also do it with the same synergy, but can't stack enough damage to oneshot bosses due to its lower base damage, hence why people use the AWP for this strat
@@luigifan4585 so for someone who doesnt have gunslinger what items do i need to get this synergy
@@masternate2993 It's an item called 'Scope', which enables the synergy '360 Yes Scope'
It's also compounding that you also have the synergy from having the item Muscle Relaxant which increases the base damage of sniper-type items, which the AWP falls under
@@luigifan4585 ahhh ok thanks for the help
And then hefest got this run
Cool
A long con strat would be making a fresh save file and unlocking the gunslinger while only purchasing the items from Troc up until you purchase the AWP and not purchase any other items from other merchants in the breach. It decreases the pool of items that can spawn in the gungeon and thereful less resets to get the AWP in the first chest of the first floor. Hopeful with less rng a talented speed runner could practice more and get the WR. But I gotta agree with Napalm as a switch player, this strat is not fun.
I think the Gungeon community has a save file that they use which has done exactly what you said. Only PC players can download it and you're essentially modding your game, but it's still legal on the leaderboards. If I'm not mistaken, both Napalm and HollowGun use this save file.
@@ThatHomieDemon Oh interesting, thank you for the insight. I am not too well versed in the speedrunning community, but as another comment said resetting with Paradox and spawning in with AWP and lich bullets might be the most optimal start. Is it legal in the leaderboards to mod unlimited hegemony credits for this to be possible? I would imagine no longer how many resets it takes the loadout would still come sooner than how long napalm's 3 year long WR stood. Ofc the greatest barrier of entry for enter the gungeon speedrunners would be chamber generation, but I believe at a the hands of a talented speedrunner like napalm or Hollowgun or anyone else knowledgeable sub 6 is possible.
@@MangoKalvin I don't think modding in unlimited credits is legal, but the community has talked about adjusting the rules for it. Also, chamber generation is a big barrier, but I don't think it's the biggest one; the biggest one would have to be getting specific items. With teleporter prototype you could theoretically skip an entire floor, thus getting both AWP and teleporter prototype would be required for sub 6.
Anyone know what the song at the start is called?
Home: We're Finally Landing
Thank you :)

Gunslinger Black Hole Gun?
Not as effective as AWP surprisingly, though that combo is good at cleaning up rooms with lots of little enemies.
I wouldnt exactly call this a new era or at least this era started back when gunslinger was first added, the technique of rerolling runs for the AWP on gunslinger has been done since he was first added in boss rush. This strat was never done in any% runs since as you said, its very boring to most people and would rather settle for something more fun as opposed to saving and restarting hundreds of times. Its done in boss rush much more so since it is more consistent to roll for the AWP since bossrush is completely linear
The main reasons I called it a new era was because A. The first ever sub 7 any% run was submitted, B. Said run beat the WR that had been there for 3 years and C. The AWP Strats were finally utilized in some of the best any% runs. Until recently the WR and the top few positions were stagnant for months, some of those records being beaten seemed worthy enough for me to call a new era.
3 Months. still number 1. napalm is too good lmao
It's such a great run, even with the mistakes. I'm certain that, even if someone did beat his record, Napalm would grind until he reclaimed the WR again.
Yo!
Omg I'm in the vid 😱 My eyes glew up like fireflies. 😁😁😁😁😁😁😄
wasn't this always used?
Sort of, but it never held the World Record until recently. Also, it was just generally less fun so the top players tried to avoid using it until it was necessary for WR.
Tbh i think gungeon any% is kinda dead as far as wr times go bc of the awp method bc there really anything in the game that can do that much damage that quickly
Well, if you watched the current World Record and all the time Napalm lost I think it's definitely clear there's optimization to be made. However, I do agree with you on the fact that the current strategy does seem unbeatable and any World Record set will likely be with the AWP
BRAZIL MENCIONADO PORRA
bro just take another take if u mess up why don't u edit it out 😭
Homie, I took so many takes. I stutter so much both on and off camera, there was no way I was going to get a perfect take without a speech therapist even while segmenting the dialogue. That being said, I'm trying to get rid of this stutter and hopefully the next scripted video will sound smoother.
i think it is indeed pretty arrogant to much such a claim lol
Enter the Gungeon > Soul Knight
Luck and some skill if you get the gunslinger you are good at tge game so the only thing that might ruin the run is luck pure luck
You're definitely onto something, Napalm and HollowGun will never be questioned in terms of skill so really it's just luck.
Who is the salt guy
SummoningSalt, he's a UA-camr who makes videos like this one about Nintendo games. He's pretty big, and most UA-camrs who make speedrun history videos were inspired or influenced by him in some way. I 100% recommend him :D
@@ThatHomieDemon nice I'll check him out thank you and nice video keep up the great work
Nerf Awoopa
Yea, I know, Gunglinger is op too but he wasn't meant to be balanced, the AWP being great A-tier makes sense but I don't think the 360* noscope passive should stack 6 times. That makes it just x100 times better than makeshift cannon
Hollow was grinding before your vid, stop with your fake humbleness
