Serious Speed is a power-up that appears in the Serious Sam series.

Overview[]

When picked up, this item drastically increases the player's movement speed for 20 seconds in Serious Sam: The Second Encounter, 25 seconds in Serious Sam 2, and 30 seconds in Serious Sam's Bogus Detour.

In Serious Sam: The Second Encounter, Serious Sam: Xbox, Serious Sam HD: The Second Encounter, Serious Sam VR: The Second Encounter and Serious Sam Classics: Revolution, serious speed usually appears in secrets, during boss fights or in large open environments. One such level is Ziggurat. In The Grand Cathedral, it is found in the middle of the field with Serious Damage and respawns approximately 2 minutes after the player picks it up.

In Serious Sam 2, it is found in objects like crates and lightposts.

In Serious Sam's Bogus Detour, serious speed is often found among other power-ups or before a large fight begins.

Tactics[]

  • Serious speed can let the player circle strafe enemies while attacking them. This lets the player easily avoid attacks and constantly harm enemies. However, when the player hears a beep, they should make sure that they're in a safe location before its power runs out. Otherwise, the player might end up in a bad position when it runs out.
  • In Serious Sam: The Random Encounter, make sure to preserve serious speed for the Highlander and Major Mechanoid. The player should also use it when they are close to death and enemies are about to impact with them, or if there are too many projectiles.

Trivia[]

  • Serious speed is the shortest lasting power-up in the series.
