¶ Overview
Fullpod missions are the fastest ones to complete. The destructive force of the Hellpod combined with others means such as the Firebomb Hellpods booster or primary/secondary weapons is enough to complete the main objective. These missions heavily rely on repod RNG since the only way of moving is by steering the hellpod.

Reading the pages Death and Direction and Death Optimization is recommended.

Most Fullpod missions are Eliminate missions because there are a maximum of 2 enemies to eliminate. These enemies can be killed by combining:
- The penetrating power of the hellpod.
- The Ultimatum (using the Draw! Ultimatum trick).
- The Firebomb Hellpods booster.
Ultimatum one-shotting Factory Striders by aiming at their foot has been patched on 13 May 2025 with the Heart of Democracy release. You can get it to work on patch 1.002.203.
Like 100% solo Min Difficulty, Any% Fullpod is one of the toughest categories because the best times are achieved on seeds that are very rare to find, where:
- The terrain is very favorable (open, elevated, with plateaus or mushrooms).
- The targets to be eliminated (when there are several) are ridiculously close to each other.
The classic Any% Fullpod loadout is the following:
-
Predator armor (increases weapon handling).
-
Eruptor and Ultimatum.
-
Draw! emote.
-
Firebomb Hellpods booster (increases the damage radius of the hellpod).
¶ 1 round missions
The standard time for Fullpod missions where 1 round of pod is needed to hit Mission Complete is 1m 12s in solo and 1m 14s in multiplayer. Achieving more competitive times (1m 10s/1m 09s in solo and 1m 13s/1m 12s in duo) requires landing on elevated surfaces or in endless holes.

¶ Multiple rounds missions
The standard time for Fullpod missions where multiple rounds of pod are needed to hit Mission Complete is 1m 12s in solo and 1m 14s in multiplayer. Achieving more competitive times (1m 11s in solo and 1m 13s in duo) requires finding seeds where the targets to be eliminated are on high ground, as all or part of the repods are needed to move from one target to another. It is therefore difficult to land on elevated surfaces/endless holes.
