Unworkable Strategies
Shooting locks through trees / from distance
This is used in TAS runs. For example, shooting locks through trees, and shooting a lock after exiting the tree line. However, this is not recommended for human runs. Looking up will probably cost some frames. Shooting will generate a small amount of lag with very little chance of success. On competitively paced runs, the lock sequence takes ~ 3 seconds, and trying to deviate from rote memory -- by one or at most two bullets -- in one in 100? runs -- will probably be detrimental toward a completion. Historical note: shooting through trees has been done on runs[1] (video), but is not recommended now.
