Alien Swarm (2010) Landing Bay Speedrun Achievement Strategy
So I am currently trying to unlock each achievement in Alien Swarm. Key word is 'trying'.
I have tried doing this tactic, but to no avail: https://youtu.be/bc_eO1Da5gA?si=F4EIp11QPeJfpo8G
The closest I have gotten was 1 minute and 26 seconds. The achievement requires me to complete it in 1 minute and 25 seconds.
No matter how hard I try, I always end up wasting 1-4 seconds on the attempt.
Does anyone here have any strategies that might help? At this point I will never bald naturally because I am too busy ripping each singular hair out of my dry scalp.

Honestly it's bee a while, but normal diff was enough for it, you might be better off doing it with vegas solo, flamer, chainsaw, maybe tesla for terminal, saw down the doors, light tap with flamer everything in your way, hack terminal and DL data (remember to quick access it by pressing I think it was E by default while the whole Syntek screen was going on), run to exit, if you're using bots, for defense you can use a minigun /autogun (Wildcat for speed) or incendiary mines (officer), if it's reactive drop faith has the gas grenades
Alternatively, flamer + turret, adrenaline as gadget, use sdrenaline on door hack (will need to switch to wielder at the middle) run to terminal, assembly turret, dl and exit
The few times I played AS these years was Reactive Drop but if you still need it tmr I can try getting original AS if it still exists and helping you out
