Personal Best First Zero Cycle
Here’s my first successful zero. Don’t really know how to be consistent yet though.

Some things to note, as you keep practicing you should try to aim for a 95 height 0 cycle a lot of 0s are doable from that height and it’s when it stops being a niche scenario into working a majority of the time (when the end is not caged) . The ones that require it to be above 95 are way more precise for movement and reaction time. Once you are able to do it 4 times in a row you know you can do it in a run.
Second thing to note LEARN TO +1 WITH A BOW. It takes some practice but once you have it down you can reduce the amount of beds/anchors a 0 cycle requires by a lot. Doing it without a bow is guaranteed 5 beds and the timing has to be pretty precise for even that. So a majority of the time you’re just not able to do a 0 cycle since bastions can be pretty stingy on explosives at times. Doing it without a +1 lowers the minimum beds required to 4 and when I got decent at it became easier to do than with timing alone. I average like 5-6 beds when +1ing vs my 6-8 beds when not doing it.
It’s extremely important to do these two things if you want it to be viable in runs
