Section Focus
Quick Answer
Use this section when you are no longer doing casual treasure cleanup and are ready to plan a Professional S+ run. The route should be built around time control, limited saves, key Merchant upgrades, safe high-risk fights, and avoiding optional detours that do not help the rank.
Professional S+ is separated from casual cleanup. It focuses on time, saves, resources, key weapons, and stable execution. Future updates can add chapter target splits.
S+ Run Planner
| Run phase | Main decision | Best next page |
|---|---|---|
| Before starting | Decide whether this is NG+ practice, fresh Professional, or a serious S+ attempt | Professional NG+ vs fresh |
| Opening chapters | Keep ammo, knife durability, shotgun value, and healing stable | Weapon upgrade priority |
| Save planning | Spend saves before sections that actually end runs | S+ route |
| Merchant routing | Upgrade only the weapons and case choices the route depends on | Inventory resource management |
| High-risk fights | Practice Krauser, Regeneradors, Salazar, and final island pressure separately | Video guides |
Save Placement Logic
| Save type | When to use it | Avoid |
|---|---|---|
| Route save | Before a long chain with several failure points | Saving immediately after tiny progress |
| Boss save | Before a fight that can kill a run quickly | Saving after wasting major resources |
| Merchant save | After inventory, repairs, and upgrades are settled | Saving before you know your loadout |
| Practice save | For learning one unstable segment outside the real attempt | Restarting the whole run for every mistake |
FAQ
Should S+ be combined with treasure cleanup?
Usually no. Treasure cleanup teaches routes and funds, but S+ needs time discipline. Use cleanup runs to learn chapters, then cut low-value pickups from the ranked route.
What is the best external answer angle?
Answer the player’s immediate blocker: save count, Merchant stops, chapter time loss, or one fight. Do not dump the whole route unless they ask for a complete S+ plan.
What page should be improved next?
The next content upgrade should be a chapter split table for the S+ route, with target time, save candidate, Merchant stop, skip, and danger note for each chapter group.
