Salem Asylum Help?

[Big Purp]

I'm currently busting my butt off trying to get the Salem Asylum achievement on Prison Nightmare. My best time is 4:46, but I honestly can't get it done in 4:44 or under. Can anyone please give me any tips or tricks to make it to the train by 4:44?

Do it solo, use all movement skills like Second Wind, Parkour, etc., Yakuza is a solid option, learn the map's optimal routes better, the basketball court drill is faster than the laundry one too.

Really you do not need a ton of skill to get it.

That's exactly what I've been doing, all my speed skills are aced in Fugitive, and I'm pretty sure I always take the shortest route to the wheel. I might try the Yakuza though, I've been using Rogue.

Do you jump directly from the window after you have activated the escape in the control room? Going through the stairs is slower.

By the way besides Running From Death there are no speed skill in Fugitive.

You are a genius, I can't believe I haven't realised that..

Yeah I sat here for a solid like 3-4 hours trying this achi solo.. Always being either a few seconds short because I got caught on a wall or something while running.. Or I got tazed/cloakerd while running to/from objectives. Eventually got it. Think they could of been a little less strict on the time but hey.. now I have it I am happy. Honestly wouldnt mind a few more achis like this but.. Doubtful.

This achievement is literally retarded to try to get. I've tried everything and I'm either off by a few seconds, or I get ♥♥♥♥♥♥ by cops/tasers/cloakers/dozers.
More so the Tasers. I cannot tell you how I DESPISE and wish ill things on the Overkill staff for making these ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ achievements.
I'm literally going to have an anyeurism from how angry I am.

^Solo is definitely easier. You don't have time to kill cops anyway, so the less that spawn the better. Numerous players provide zero benefit for this and just mean more to defend from drill, and more likely to get in the way when running (or tazed).

2 things and its guaranteed success: get drills on asap (should be about 0.27 and 2:20 respectively) and don't let them get interrupted = 5-10 seconds to spare.

Concussion nades can help too. You don't need to shoot anything unless they get near drill.

That's ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. You NEED to kill Tasers, or else you get ♥♥♥♥♥♥.

Thank you for all of your help, everyone! I finished it! Here's how:

Start of heist, immediately start running and jump over the second cop car, then jump down the stairs from the side. Once you land, immediately start running again all the way to the wheel. You should be there at about 0:09 or 0:10.

Wait for the cloaker to do his little dances and smash the wheel down. Place the drill at 0:23 or 0:24. If you have no lag, you'll be able to do it at 0:22.

Wait for the wheel do do its stuff, should take until around 2:05.

Get to the entrance and insert the keycard, around 2:10.

Get into the laundry room and deploy the drill, should take about until 2:24. (This

If your wheel is in the courtyard, drill should be deployed at 2:22.

Drill is done, get the keycard at 3:54.

Run up to the control room at 4:05.

Insert the keycard, and pull the lever, 4:13

Shoot/hit the window overlooking the set of stairs leading to the exit, jump through it, follow the maze-like path, but once you get to the exit through the area of the first wheel, don't go through it. Instead, keep going straight and it should lead you back to the entrance.

Get to the small stair area, and use the zip-line. I did this at about 4:37.

(These are only estimates of the time it took me, by the way. It's okay if you're a second or two off.)

That is how it can be done.

Again, thanks to all of you who took your time to help! I really appreciate it!

(P.S. You need to have all the fugitive speed skills aced and you must not wear armor! Bring medikits as well.)

Congrats, I hope you had fun with the achievement.
