No R-Lean Walkthrough

These are tips to complete 00 without using the R-Lean.

As far as the questions on the battery...[1]

It boils down to this... it seems the faster you negotiate the turn towards the 3rd drone and the exit towards the battery the least likely you are to get a nice boosted throw to the battery at the right time. (I have had tons of grenades that hit the top of the pillar and many more that landed at the base) The time that you are in the zone where the 3rd drone cant hit you determines when you will get that last boosted throw to the battery. Trying to manipulate the time that you spend in that zone (so that the 3rd drone slows down enough and when you re-enter the 3rd drones range it waits a second before giving you that first boost) is tedious, specific and mysterious. Which means its pretty close to being totally luck based?

Tips:

  • Anticipate boosted throw towards 3rd drone so you can turn immediately(unless you want to wait .5 or so before turning like has been done)
  • Anticipate that first boost after the turn towards the battery so you can prime fast (it feels like you can do it right before you actually get boosted)
  • Ive tried turning towards the back of the plane and then strafe to the left a little after the boost, also turning straight towards the battery - Have not found any thing significant with either. Though theoretically moving from right to left, even a little, would have to delay the 3rd drone boost because it would have to catch up to you.

Destroying the 3rd drone is doable on a regular basis but you just have to get the feel for it. Some tips would be...

  • You don't necessarily have to look up at a high angle
  • Look up more right after the turn towards the 3rd drone and lower a little if it doesn't happen within 1 second or so (especially if you didn't prime late)
  • Don't prime early
  • Aim for between the middle and the right side of the drone (try doing several runs where you just stop to see where the grenades are landing)
  • The angle you take after the throw to the 2nd drone seems to be a factor( make a bee line towards the spot where the 3rd drone range ends and the 2nd drone starts (the zone) without the 3rd drone backboosting you, will mean that you may not be in the zone long enough for proper timing of the battery throw (even if you wait the .5 after because you will be strafing towards where the 3rd drone starts shooting you since the 3rd drones range is at an angle, wait more than .5 and you risk being back in the 3rd drones range before you even turn)

If you don't make a bee line then you will cruise more parallel to the runway for a little and then turn. this means that the 2nd drone will start shooting a little sooner because you will hit its range faster... you will be slightly further away from the 3rd drone and the boosted throw will happen sooner... the grenade may not make it to the 3rd drone. Now you may have been in the zone too long to get :35)

You will probably want to do something in between these two options.
