If you need the weapon refill (presumably for Pharaoh), switch to the weapon and hold right against the wall at the screen transition. While the record route does not need this refill, it is highly recommended for beginning runners and all racers to collect this weapon drop for Pharaoh until they are comfortable now needing Pharaoh refills.
### Screen 2 If you need the weapon refill for Pharaoh, hold right during the fall to collect it. Otherwise, just fall through and slide to the right. ### Screen 3 Jump and tap right to back-boost through the cannon. Continue sliding to the left to fall down.If you want the E-Tank, just hold right during the fall. This requires an extra weapon swap to Drill to break the wall, but otherwise does not impact the route.

If you get hit by the stomper, take care to dodge the spiked balls when you slide under the platform. Remember you can't jump out of a slide in front of a ladder, so you may want to take a step before jumping.If you are planning on using the stored charge strat at the checkpoint screen, build the charge here and keep it as you switch weapons.
Switch to your desired weapon for the next screen - Balloon is optimal, Coil is backup. # Screen 5 - The Shortcut There are two paths through this screen. Going to the top right is faster. ### Balloon [](https://goodboyrush.net/uploads/images/gallery/2024-07/mm4-cossak4-screen5-balloon.gif) There is a tight space to get a balloon jump and not bonk on the platform above. This is the fastest method as it does not have Rush's pause animation, but it can be tricky. ### Rush Coil [](https://goodboyrush.net/uploads/images/gallery/2024-07/mm4-cossak4-screen5-coil.gif) This is slightly slower due to the Rush Coil animation in the menu. It is however easier to execute, since you can jump against the wall then fall straight down onto Rush. ### Next Steps Use drill to break the wall. Then fall down with Drill still equipped.There is a potential E-Tank at the bottom of the fall if you still have Drill equipped. This is a useful backup item, but not needed for WR attempts.
# Screen 7 - Slinkies Collect the E-Tank if desired, then drop down. Slide to the right, and use drill on the slinkies. Switch to buster at the end and proceed. ### Stored Charge [](https://goodboyrush.net/uploads/images/gallery/2024-07/mm4-cossak4-storedcharge-demo.gif) You can use the stored charge technique on the slinkies here. Technically the slinkies take two hits from the drill bombs, one from the contact and a second from the explosion. You can switch back to buster after the contact damage on the second slinky to save a small number of lag frames.
