Titanfall 2 player “Deadlokked” has made the game’s gauntlet — an early-game training level that teaches players how to wall run, slide and shoot like a Titanfall pilot — something of a joke. While some of us are struggling (and failing) to run the gauntlet in thirty-something seconds to unlock an achievement, Deadlokked makes a sub-18-second run look effortless. Even developer Respawn was impressed.
Deadlokked’s method for dominating Titanfall 2’s gauntlet involves using the EPG-1 energy gun to take out enemies and boosting well past 50 kph with the impact of frag grenades. Despite how effortless and, well, perfect this attempt looks, Deadlokked says there’s still room to improve on the run.
You can check out Deadlokked’s progress on YouTube, which includes an earlier run that takes just 15.5 seconds but is penalized for not killing any of the targets.
