About this mod Author’s original text
Features
- Speedrun mode
- Enabling this mode will disable practice features and temporarily alter the save state so that a run will meet the leaderboard submission rules
- There are various modes depending on what type of speedrun you are performing:
- Normal
- Activate with CTRL + S or by pressing A + B on both controllers
- In this mode the save state will be reset every time you leave the main menu and start a new game
- Newgame+
- Activate with CTRL + N
- In this mode the save state will be updated to have everything unlocked
- 100%
- Activate with CTRL + H
- In this mode the save state will be reset only when initially enabled
- Activating this will also reset all Steam achievements (so that the reclamation bin in Zombie Warehouse must be unlocked during the run)
- Deactivate any mode with any of the activation hotkeys while in the main menu
- Preferences like height and turn settings are maintained through save state resets and loads
- Deactivate speedrun mode to restore your original save state
- You must disable all other mods before enabling any speedrun mode
- You can tell that a speedrun mode is enabled based on the text added to the loading screen (Steam game version only)
- Includes mod version and approximate run time to make splicing harder (don't worry if the time does not match LiveSplit exactly)
- Make boss claw always patrol to the area near the finish in Streets
- Boss claw cabin appears _green_ when this feature is on, so that you're aware RNG is being manipulated
- Teleport to a chosen location to practice parts of a level again
- Pressing B on both controllers at the same time sets the teleport point to the position you are currently standing at
- Clicking the right controller thumbstick teleports you to the set point
- Clicking A and B on the left controller at the same time resets the level
- Useful for situations like in Museum when you teleport back to retry valve flying and need the valve to be back at its starting location
- Blindfold (Steam game version only)
- For practicing and performing blindfolded runs
- To blindfold yourself, press CTRL + B on the keyboard (game window must be focused)
- If you do this during the main menu it will activate "blindfolded speedrun mode" where it will reset your save each time before starting a new game
- This will make the VR headset display pitch black but the game window will still show the game (for spectating or to see where you are while practicing)
- Gripless
- For practicing and performing gripless runs (where triggers/finger grips on controllers do nothing and you cannot pick things up)
- To enable, press CTRL + G on the keyboard (game window must be focused)
- If you do this during the main menu it will activate "gripless speedrun mode" where it will reset your save each time before starting a new game
- This will make the controller trigger/finger buttons do nothing in the game so you cannot grab any objects
- One controller
- Only one controller can be used and inputs from the other will be ignored
- Ford's arm will also be removed
- The menu button will still work even on the disabled controller
- To enable, press CTRL + O on the keyboard (game window must be focused)
- This will switch from off -> only left controller -> only right controller -> off ->...
- If you do this during the main menu it will activate "one-controller gripless speedrun mode" where it will reset your save each time before starting a new game
- Armless
- Removes both of Ford's arms
- To enable, press CTRL + A on the keyboard (game window must be focused)
- If you do this during the main menu it will activate "armless speedrun mode" where it will reset your save each time before starting a new game

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- Most mods rely on the game's mod loader — the usual route is a community mod manager (such as r2modman): pick this game, install, and it handles the loader and dependencies.
- For a manual install, put the mod files into the matching Mod / plugins folder inside the game directory.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; mods with listed dependencies need those installed as well.
Install locations vary a lot between mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
