Using the gun clipping technique, I perform a bunch of out of bounds tricks in and around the Water and Power building in Silent Hill Homecoming. More information below.
There are multiple tricks in this video:
1.) Breaking out of Water and Power to street 00:00
2.) Breaking into Water and Power from Toluca Offices Building 03:43
3.) Breaking into Water and Power from street 06:55
4.) Climbing to Water and Power Roof 15:01
5.) Climbing and Driving Around an Order Member 20:59
------------------------------
1.) Breaking out of Water and Power: I break through the East wall (south on the map) and drop to the ground floor outside. Here, I must then break through invisible collision to the left of the building (it's actually a gate if you can see it), then I go out into the street and view the water and power building from a distance. Using this method, the only thing visually loaded in the town is the water and power building.
3.) Breaking into Water and Power from Toluca Offices: I use the left side of the door to get into the door, then when I am comfortably stuck, I use the shotgun to push myself into the building. The shotgun method is a way to use extended collision to push yourself out of collision you are inside, but most of the time this will only push you back to the side you started on. This is one of the few instances where the shotgun method helps.
3.) Breaking into Water and Power from street: very hard to do. There is a small patch of wall on the East side of the building that will let you through. In fact, this is the ONLY method I have found that lets you break in from the street. Not a single other section of any of the building's walls will let you in. You must be sure to break through the wall in a way that you enter with the carboard boxes on your right (if you are too close to the boxes, you will fall through the map). If you are on the left of the boxes, you must work your way around to get through the collision (this is, for some reason, very difficult). The shotgun method does not work in this instance, as it will just push you back out into the street. Also, if you attempt to do this MAKE SURE you kill the Order Members in the building FIRST, because once you clip into the building they will become aware of your presence, come to you, and totally block your path. You CANNOT break into the building from the street if there are Order Members inside, they will block your path and you cannot kill them. Once inside, you can also break through the West wall and drop down to the Toluca Offices building and do some OoB exploring there as well.
4.) Climbing to Water and Power Roof: actually very simple. It seems like it would be difficult, but it's totally easy. In the lower right corner of the map you will find a corner pillar. You want to get your gun to clip into the left side of this pillar (not a lot of room to work around though). If your gun clips into the left side, it can (and most of the time, will) boost you up. It can either boost you all the way up to the roof, or boost you up most of the way and force you to move around a bit to finish the climb. Once you have been boosted, the pillar will do most of the work for you regardless. At the top, you can knife-walk along the edges of the building. The roof beams don't have collision, so they are just eye candy. The foreman's office also does not have collision so don't drop down to it unless you want to fall through the world.
5.) Climbing Order Member: Kill one order member and slash at the second one until his running pace is severely diminished (he is dragging himself). This will give you enough time to perform the pillar climb while he is pursing you. After weakening the guy, run to the pillar and do the climb. You actually do not need to get to the top, you only need to be boosted high enough to clear the height of the order member. Wait until you think he has caught up to you, then let go. You will land on him. Use your gun to drive him around (initially getting him to turn around to follow you is tricky, so take your time to get him to turn around). Once he is facing you, he will follow you wherever you go (as long as collision is not blocking him). Have fun driving him around!
