APPLY CONDITIONALS
This is my personal Volt build for speedrunning Profit-Taker
You need at least 1 Tauforged Amber Shard for casting speed. If you don't have a Tauforged Amber Shard. Use 2 normal shards, if you don't have either, use [Natural Talent] instead of [Vigorous Swap] (You'll be losing out on a lot of damage though)
Optional Changes
If you don't have [Primed Sure Footed] you can trade your Exilus for whatever you want and use Ancient Healer specters instead
You can skip using an Umbral forma if you want. Just use Augur Secrets or an unranked Umbral Fiber/[Vitality] in place of Umbral Vitality. I just use Vitality as a cushion incase I make a mistake and can't use Protective sling
How to Speedrun Profit-Taker
There's 2 main strategies used. There's the old fashioned strat where you use the [Zenith], your Zaw, and either the [Tenet Diplos] or [Tenet Detron] to cycle shields and use the [Zenith] to break pylons. Or the newer method where you use the Diplos and your Zaw with a crewmate with a [Synapse] to cover all elements at the same time, while using an [Ogris] with [Nightwatch Napalm] to instantly break pylons. The [Ogris] is way faster, but requires a decent crewmember
When you load in do not leave the elevator until PT spawns. Timing starts when the map changes to the Orb Vallis map. Spawn your Crewmember/Specters and use a pad while you wait
When PT spawns (When it says 7-8 seconds in the tab menu if you're the host) leave the elevator and use your 2 to speed up your Archwing travel and go to PT
Land in front of Profit-Taker. Use your 4 and place a shield slightly in the air (Press 3 at the highest point in a single jump). The shield should be in between you and PT and high enough for your mech to fire through it (This is why you jumped before placing). Make sure it's close enough to be within the blue wall ring attack. But far enough for you to have a clear line of sight for her legs
For the first shield phase double jump as fast as possible and fire a Contagion projectile. In between Contagion shots use your secondary (This is why you want a Zaw without Airlocking as it blocks you from using other weapons until the animation completes)
Make sure you're doing so while near your crewmember so it gets the buff from [Total Eclipse] so it can cycle shields with you, this is why I suggest running Primed Continuity instead of Narrow Minded.
Once PT's shields are down spawn your mech with the Velocitus/[Corvas] as the Archgun (Ideally place the mech beforehand so you can hop in the moment shields are down)
Shoot at the legs through the shields. If you used either of my builds for the Velocitus/[Corvas] you should 1 shot each leg and the body with a quick shot
This is where the 2 strats diverge slightly.
Strat 1) Fly in your archwing and use the [Ogris] with [Nightwatch Napalm] on the spots where the pylons will land. If done right all pylons will break instantly.
Strat 2) Use your [Zenith]'s Alt fire to break the Pylons as they land (Aim near the top of the icon, or simply mash as fast as possible while waving your mouse over the icon)
For the second shield phase and beyond do the same thing you did with your Zaw and your secondary
Timer ends when PT flashes blue after you damage the body
Additional Notes
If you or your crewmate dies, that's a sign that you should use protective sling more often
With these builds I've managed to get a 55 second time. And you can get a much better time with more practice (The current WR is a 0:52.997 as of writing this)
