Profit-Taker 1m45s150ms Personal Best Mirage Solo Speedrun

Описание: This is my personal best Mirage run.
It used to be the world record, but it was improved upon by Aziimuth in his 1m44s750ms mirage run after 84 days. You can find his run here:    • Profit Taker Solo - 1m 44s 750 ms  .
The world record before this was held by Wambo, which took me 58 days to beat, along with numerous build upgrades, researching when you get the mirage buff, a lower dpi & a ton of practice.
You can find his run here:    • Profit Taker 1m 47s 333ms Solo  

I stopped using ancient healer specters, and instead used shield pads whenever necessary to keep myself alive. The combination of aerodynamic + aviator is also amazing as it gives 89% DR while your shield is up, or 64% when the shield is down, excluding armor.

Arcane Tanker can be procced in the elevator, making it a more reliable Arcane Guardian that gives 300 extra armour. The downside is that you will not have the armour buff during the second shield phase as it will run out at that point.

Mirage runs have an insane aborted- to completed runs ratio. Mirage also doesn't have chroma's effigy for 2x credits so don't do this unless you compete for the leaderboards. Refer to my chroma runs if you wish to farm credits.
This: https://i.imgur.com/VtmqZsN.png is how you can expect your mirage's damage buff to perform during the cycle.

I did some analysis of the footage and it is possible to do a run in less than 100 seconds.
I spent 1s 183ms @ 0:26 going to operator for health rather than using a shield pad.
The game decided to regenerate a leg at 0:52 costing me 1s 600ms
Waiting for archgun cooldown due to extra ammo spent on regenerated leg at 1:09 cost me another 3s 083ms
The run could have been 1m40s467ms if the game didn't bug out and 1m39s284ms if I used a shield pad in addition to the game not bugging out.
I won't actively be running for a sub-100-second run until leg regen gets fixed or we get another means of improving the time.

The timing for profit taker runs is done by subtracting the moment at which the bounty pop-up appears minus the time at which the (mini)map changes when leaving the elevator.



For anyone trying profit taker for themselves, here are some tips:
• I have a comprehensive guide here:   / the_six_principles_of_profittaker_a_speedr...  
• I have a comprehensive build video here (slightly outdated):    • Profit Taker speedrun build video  
• and a more budget build in the rivenless run here:    • Profit Taker Rivenless Solo Speedrun 2m44s...  
• Zenith, if you have it, will shoot through the pylons with its alt-fire mode. Battacor, Rubico Kuva Karak and Kuva Hind are decent alternatives.
• Kuva Nukor, with magnetic, can cover 4 elements.
• Zaws with Exodia Contagion are an amazing way to cover 6 elements: IPS, Blast, Dual Stat + Single stat
• Magus Elevate + Magus Repair help you keep alive.
