Techniques & Glitches

Getaway Shootout, like all games, has its fair share of tips, glitches and techniques, all of varying difficulty, rarity and impact. Some of these things are mainly used only in speedruns, but some of these strategies can be used/experienced in contexts outside of speedrunning, such as in casual play.

Techniques

• Speedjumping: Get your character as parallel as possible to flat ground, and then spam the movement keys to build up speed and effectively fly in that direction.

• 2P Speedrun Start: For two player speedruns, the fastest starting strategy on some maps is to rotate both characters fully, then allow the character in the back to jump over the 2nd player, while holding the 2nd player's movement key down. Once the 1st player's feet are on the 2nd player's head, make both characters jump again.

Glitches

• Infinite Shield: Quite possibly the game's most well-known glitch. If you enable a shield while you pass through the weapon detector on Terminal, the shield will not despawn as it usually does after 5 seconds.

• Zipline Fling: An extremely rare glitch where if you land at the very end of the zipline facing leftwards at a very specific angle, you have a chance to randomly gain a ton of upwards or downwards speed.

• Zipline Noclip: This glitch is on Market, where, after riding down on the zipline, a player or bot phases through the ground, and continues to move farther lower, even outside of the map. This has only been performed on the new versions.

• Infinite Bomb: There can arise a situation in which a bomb, after being used by the player, never goes away. It flashes white, like usual, but when it would usually explode, it instead 'resets', and goes back to starting the flashing sequence. It does this infinitely.

• Weapon Duplication: If you are holding a set of knives or a Bomb, there is a chance that if you grab another rapid-fire weapon immediately afteer firing your first weapon, the game will mistakenly spawn two or more of the same weapons. This can be used to produce several (working and deadly) bombs as well as throw 3 knives.
