    Mission: Highrise

    This will (kinda) require 2 runs in order to get.

    Run 1: Earn the Ascender
    The first time you play this mission, you'll want to follow the arrows until you earn the ascender, which is a rappel tool allowing you to go up ropes. Once you have it, restart the mission.

    Run 2: 45 seconds to the roof
    With the ascender picked, it'll automatically spawn in your inventory the next time your start this mission. Once you spawn, equip your pistol as you'll run significantly faster. You can now immediately ascend up two ropes, jump out the window to a zipline and easily get to the roof in 30-40 seconds.

    Mission: Highrise

    You won't be able to complete a rooftop run in under 45 seconds, until you've found the ascender tool within Highrise for us to fly up the yellow ropes. So the first part of this guide will show you where to collect the ascender tool before attempting a speed run!

    Ascender Tool
    First of all we need to reach floor 10, where the ascender tool is located. The general rule of thumb here is to continually move upwards, may that be via a ladder or staircase. My personal preference was to constantly turn right when the paths split. So for example as you come out of the first elevator shaft turn right, collect the night vision goggles and navigate your way through the dark room, head up the staircase, right out the window, follow the gangway all the way to the end, enter the window, hang right to climb up another elevator shaft, right three times and go up a yellow ladder, go out the window, follow the yellow tarp, take a right and follow the corridor to the very end to find the tool in a orange box.

    45 Second Run
    Once you have the ascender tool, restart the mission and attempt a speed run. At the first elevator shaft, ascend cn_X, take your left and dispose of the two enemies in the corridor. At the next staircase ascend cn_X, take a left and zipline cn_X out the window. Then follow the scaffolding around the outside the building before ziplining cn_X one last time towards Price.

    First you need to acquire the rappel tool which can be found by a stairwell (the north west i believe). After you have done this and can replay the mission*, head up the initial elevator and continue until you see 2 guards down a hallway. Take them out and proceed to the far end where you can rappel up a stairwell. Look left as you exit for a zipline and follow the edge of the building until you reach another zipline. Here you will meet Price. If you complete all that in 45 seconds you will get the achievement.

    *Andrew RNG notes that you can collect the rappel and immediatly reset to get this done faster

    Andrew RNGIf I may add aswell,

    I ran through the campaign my first time on Regular, if you replay the mission it will give you the rappel tool (if you collected it the first time around) to help you get to the top.

    Not sure if this will work for everyone but popped for me when I did this. hope it helps :D
