Mostly great advice, although I disagree with not dealing with the hives systematically. That just leads to a lot of backtracking and can could confuse people not yet at home with the layouts of the tileset. It is simplest to go from start to finish, keeping in mind that there will always be three forks. The first two are "hive or deadend", and you should always check the deadends first. The final fork is "hive or extraction", so naturally you should deal with the hive first in this instance. As you mention, at least one and sometimes two caches are found near extraction.

As someone who has run these a lot myself, I can offer the following additional tips:

1. Animal Instinct's loot radar range, while alright, still requires you to be fairly close. I recommend the addition of Thief's Wit as well to allow yourself a much clearer long-range picture of what is where.

2. Ignis is a fantastic tool for these runs, effective at dealing with the endless swarms of Infested as well as tumor node popping and clearing away breakable containers, which helps you find the caches.

3. Sprint speed boosts are invaluable. You talk about parkour, but a lot of the corridors are cramped and with many protruding obstacles. Keeping your feet on the ground and just running fast is usually the best way to move through the level quickly.

4. Valkyr is my preferred frame, as she has a naturally fast sprint, can replentish her health when necessary, and turning on Hysteria allows you to seek out the tumor nodes without having to deal with the constant Infested harassment.
