Notes
● Skip all waves when they appear
○ You need to speedrun the game within less than 18 minutes
to achieve Quickdraw. You cannot afford to lose excessive
time due to late skipping
● If you are having issues:
○ Read the Why did I fail? section = highlights the common
mistakes that ppl make in this strat + more tips.
○ Watch the videos linked in the instructions of your p# =
better understanding of what you are supposed to do or
proper placements.
● No RNG.

● Joining the Paradoxum Group for $100 extra starting cash is required.
● Try not to deviate from the strategy as it may lead to death/timelosses.

● Skipping waves.

Skipping ● ALL waves must be skipped immediately.

 ○Wave 1-29 skip appears at 0:40
○Wave 30-38 skip appears at 0:54
○Wave 39 skip appears at 1:20
○The strat will remind you when to skip, but if smth goes wrong (timeloss/leaked), you
prepared to skip as fast as possible.
● Bad skips will most likely be the reason why you are losing too much time
○ If not, it is probably leaking early game waves. The only early game wave intentionall
L PLAYERS)
is wave 10 (abnormal boss).
○ If everything was done correctly you have over 100 seconds / 1:40 minutes of leewa
Leeway time is the amount of time you can lose before going over 18 minutes. So if yo
up (in time-loss), it's not the end of the world. However, if you are leaking a ton of the
waves (w1-20), I would recommend simply resetting so as to not waste time on a ruin
The philosophy of QD is to save all of the early/mid game waves and you’re already saving t
game waves because those are must skip waves.
● Having autoskip enabled may help a lot, but it is not required to win on time.

YERS 1, 2, & 3)

Placement
● Place the 1st Shotgunner as soon as Wave 1 starts
○ Must also be set on Farthest targeting.
● Notice the order in which you should be placing Shotgunners.
○ Notice how the Range of the 1st Shotgunner just reach the entrance
● All 3 Shotgunners must be placed as close to the path as possible.
 Wave 0 Placement
● Ideally, get all 3 GS placed in these spots before Wave 1 starts.
● Notice the Range of the GS in relation to the entrance. You should attempt to replicate that.
○ Also notice how the 3rd image GS Range reaches the path in front of the house (wher
enemies spawn). You should attempt to replicate that.
