‘Quake done Quickest 2’ (QdQst2) is a segmented run that completes Quake on Nightmare difficulty as fast as possible, disregarding kills and secrets on all maps. The run is a major overhaul of the Quake done Quickest run from 2011. The run time is 10:20, which is an improvement of 69 seconds. Each level was recorded in one segment - played over and over again for hours, days, weeks, even months - and then pieced together to create this run. The project was setup in early 2022 and segments were grinded over a span of 2 years by many different runners. With the insane level of execution and optimization of modern-day Quake speedrunning the next generation of runners managed to go even quicker than “Quickest”.

It’s been an awesome experience, and we’re very happy to finally release QdQst2 exactly 13 years after the release of QdQst! Hope you enjoy!
