Stick With One Puzzle Difficulty

Try to stick with one puzzle difficulty and familiarize yourself with all the safe codes, keypad, and combination lock. Almost all the puzzles, codes, answers, stays the same each playthrough so why not familiarize yourself on one difficulty.

Gathering hints and clues for each code in every puzzle is very time consuming anyways.

Know Each Layout of the Map

Know each layout of the different maps and where to find each one. Familiarizing yourself with each layout of the map decreases the time spent looking at each one of them every now and then.

Also, remember where to get all the maps in the different areas of the game.

Set Combat Difficulty to Light

Set the combat difficulty of the game to light difficulty. Defeating enemies much more easier gives you less things to think about.

Best Difficulty Settings and Differences

Go Past Enemies if Possible

Past by any enemy possible in the game, especially the Creepers. Less time killing enemies means more time can be spent on other things, like running.

Unfortunately, some enemies in the game can't be easily evaded, like the Spider Mannequins and Bobble Head Nurses.

List of All Monsters and Enemies

Use the Chainsaw or Steel Pipe

The most recommended weapon in order to speedrun the game efficiently is the Chainsaw. Because it can literally one-shot almost all the enemies that you can encounter and you get the Chainsaw very early in the New Game Plus.

Other recommended weapons include the Handgun, for those pesky Spider Mannequins that climb on walls.

Aim for the Dog Ending

If you're trying to speedrun the game, definitely try to aim for the Dog Ending. It's the fastest ending due to its unlock requirements being so easy to find and you get to skip the final act of the game.
