So there are really a number of ways to approach this one depending on your rope skill, I have 4 routes here.

The easiest method is extending all the way; you can get this basically every time. And actually, it's pretty reasonable, tends to clock in around 28 seconds (of turn time). I think it's about as efficient as the fling then extend method.

The medium difficulty one is the fling and then mexi, which is just slightly faster. I think with practice it's highly possible to get this around half the time.

The hardest is the Big Mexi; it basically saves a good 5-6 seconds, but can only be done, say 5-10% of the time, being optimistic. If someone is live streaming and doing a bunch of runs, this may not be worth attempting, but it's probably gotta be part of a solid World Record. Also, since it's the first mission, the speed run can easily be restarted until someone nabs it (unless we're including training first).

There is no acceptable method other than big mexi.

Unless there are people who want to get FW quickly and don't want to use FWUnlocker or TeamED

The big mexi is not consistent enough for a full run if basic training is done, which is the current category on speedrun.com.  Mablak may do his run without basic training, but I know mpu and Pichi are both doing their runs with it.

Backup Strategy

Before you start, hold F8, Space, and Left
Player Turn 1 - Bounce off the hole between two pumpkins and mines to land to the wall where the barrel is, go around it, grab the crate, shoot Artillery with a shotgun (they should blow up all three mines to give you a faster path), then walk up to the crate without shooting the 2nd shot
