A no-damage run on Underhalls, full of hit-scanners + fast monsters...? What an RNG grind! There are some strategies to try and play it safe, such as using corners for cover, and killing shotgunners from a distance to reduce the chance of them hitting you. But still 80% of this run was luck-based.

The red key area was particularly unforgiving, I was forced to kill 2-3 shotgunners at a distance with the pistol to play it safe, even though that was quite a bad time loss. Every time I tried not to do that and rush in with the shotgun, I'd get insta-shot on the way towards the brown wall. Didn't find any setup for this to work consistently without getting shot, except for the safe pistol kills.

The SSG is mostly useless in this mode against the hitscanners because it is inacurate a slow-firing. Because of fast monsters you will never have a chance to have a good group of monsters lined-up for a good SSG blast, not without getting exposed and shot anyway. So I skipped the SSG grab to not waste time swapping weapons. But the SSG might save a few seconds killing pinkies and imps.

This run is not super optimized and can be beaten for sure, even if it will be a painful process of farming good RNG. Unlike in UV Max+Reality though, I'm not sure that going below 2 mins is possible with fast monsters, no matter how lucky the player gets.
