Ah, with fast monsters, this map becomes a much more interesting challenge! I was complaining the map was too easy when I first played this, but in this category, surviving and managing health and armor pickups is actually quite challenging. The map design itself it pretty interesting and fun to play overall. The only annoying part is killing the pinkies with the shotgun after coming back from button 2. The top corridor where the 3 pinkies run at you suffers from the blockmap bug, and sometimes you miss even at point-blank range with the shotgun.

In this run, ammo management went pretty well. I used the chaingun ammo only in more dangerous parts of the level, and shotgun for mostly everything else. I ended the map with only a few bullets left, and zero rockets. At the final battle, I hit most of the rockets, so they were not wasted.

The most difficult part of the run is definitely at the computer room, when the walls on the top platforms lower and lots of imps and hit-scanners appear. The fastest way is also the least safe: ignore them while they in-fight and run past them towards button 3. Many times, when you're unlucky, this means death here. This time however, I barely lost any health and managed to dodge the imp firewall barrage fairly easily. This part could still be done faster though; by leaving 2 imps alive before pressing button 3, and using the time you need to back-track to kill them.

There were a few shotgun misses and movement mistakes in this route, so I believe that going below 4m10 should be possible. And since this is the first time this map was routed for UV Fast, I believe that as soon as someone starts making route optimizations, going below 4m should also be possible.
