[bitter mason]

We need a pepperball pistol fr

[tacit gull]

it's in the lore bro trust me

[crude prism]

"yes we should give the suspects on the first level in the game a bunch of machine guns that have 100 round clipazines"

[bitter mason]

It's just part of one of los suenos' many disasters

[tacit gull]

The calico shipment slipped on a banaan in the middle of the street so now every gangster has one

[bitter mason]

Like how do people still live in ls it's going through like
Famin, drought, storms, mass unemployment and homelessness, crime and terror attacks everywhere, bin man strikes and the ATMs are out of money

[tacit gull]

speaking of storms

where is my impervious rain tarp uniform

[frozen beacon]

calico cats

[tacit gull]

mod that replaces the calico with a cat when

100 round cats

[bitter mason]

Pull out that l4d2 cat smg mod

[earnest phoenix]

pull out that postal 2 cat suppresor

[bitter mason]

[tacit gull]

makes your gun pull downwards because of how heavy the cat is

[bitter mason]

maybe los suenos just needs some cats

it would solve a lot of the problems

[sleek fable]

If only the cartel had some emotional support kitties.

[stone stump]

cats for emotional support? chat, is that real?

[craggy yew]

Only if I opened that port container and was greeted by cats instead

[stone stump]

well, technically...

[amber hearth]

edgy

i just want more gore and car batteries

[tacit gull]

[crude prism]

Do your duty. Throw the bearcat's battery into the ocean on "Ends Of The Earth"

[prime wing]

bring chaos

there is no cure

EAT the battery

[tacit gull]

it gives you 500 health

[crude prism]

I should be able to eat food strewn around maps for health

[tacit gull]

consume the microplastics

[amber hearth]

consume? you don't consume microplastics lol you sheep

you become one with microplastics 😉

[bright valley]

Careful what you wish for. Pepperball pistols have like 5 or 6 round magazines IRL.

[amber hearth]

cant they make bigger clip

[bitter mason]

better than nothing

more secondary less lethals would be nice, I'd personally love a sawn off beanbag shotgun and a classic paintball styled pepperball gun for long tactical

I dont like sacrificing a lethal primary for less lethal

[amber hearth]

how about car battery?

[bitter mason]

are the suspects in water

[amber hearth]

we can also bring water

make them water type

[bitter mason]

water gun

• car battery combo
  ez win

[crude prism]

💀

[bright valley]

With RoN's pepperballs taking 4 shots to stun and ammunition being 1 magazine per slot, it almost isn't lol

[bitter mason]

well perhaps the issue is the way it handles pepperballs

[crude prism]

TPL should be secondary if they're not going to change the magazine allotment for it as a primary

[bright valley]

That's not to say VOID wouldn't change magazine sizes, the real VKS only has like a 15 round magazine and it's, what, 25 in-game?

[crude prism]

30 (I think?)

[craggy yew]

Gotta throw a bone to the underdogs of non lethal weapons

[bright valley]

Just not too much of a bone. RIP TAC-700. You were good, son, real good; maybe even the best.

[bright valley]

I wonder how busted Shield + TPL would be.

[craggy yew]

They still mention the tac 700 in the r7 description

[crude prism]

"eh" the limited mag size would still be really painful, you'd have to devote like most of your slots to it

But yeah, definitely VERY powerful

[bitter mason]

TAC-700 for long tactical!!

[floral pulsar]

When do we get the predator drone

[cyan shadow]

i completed the last mission on my ironman save but i havent got the achievement. Did I do something wrong? I've never used or subscribed to any mods and i double checked that ironman was enabled

[glacial quest]

can someone tell me how doors explode on ides of march even tho i dont see any traps on the door???

[main ridge]

Came back to this game after a while, read the 1.0 post about AI improvements. But I see ppl use AI mods, so the AI is still not the best?

[hasty cosmos]

does someone know which characters are in the "fan service" tatoo?

[craggy yew]

Mirror gun look up and then peak and cut the wire

[glacial quest]

look up???

[vestal mauve]

Artificial Asuka and Intelligence Itsuki

[bright valley]

[foggy zinc]

are those actual names that the devs picked out or is this some sort of joke

[hasty cosmos]

uhh nothing comes up if i google that so im inclined to believe its made up

[molten finch]

does anyone know off the bat if theres a mod that turns red dots green? i would really like to be able to have a different color/look to the inside of red dots

[vestal mauve]

Just having a gag
But the characters are clearly original creations by an AI generator so there you go

[molten finch]

Blue would also be acceptable to me

[foggy zinc]

https://www.nexusmods.com/readyornot/mods/219

still works 👍

[molten finch]

That was faster than I expected 💀 ty for your service

[foggy zinc]

np officer

now go run gas station and leave nothing standing

[molten finch]

Already did that today

[static wigeon]

Lollll

[astral warren]

Drunk RoN, thoughts, opinions, concerns?

[static wigeon]

Wth

[astral warren]

If drinking and driving in a video game is fun, then it must be more fun to drink and operate, am I wrong?

Wisconsin S.W.A.T.

[stone bay]

Tbh depends on how drunk you get.

[astral warren]

Of course, you don't want to be so gone you forget to check for traps on Sullivan's Slope.

Ricin bombs are not typically good for one's health.

At least when you die, you'll have an excuse if you're drunk.

Demoman learned this fact long ago.

[tough spire]

I'd love to try to do a full run where if anyone gets injured by the end they take a shot, if they die they take three. If the whole team dies it's over.

[molten finch]

Any modders in chat? I have a question

Specifically people that make/edit mods

[acoustic ridge]

im stuck on watt community college, theres 1 civ left and im 90% sure ive searched every room, search and secure refuses to locate them

[molten finch]

Theres a room on the first floor i think in one of the classrooms thats like a shelter room

kinda hard to see but there was a civ in there when i was stuck, idk for sure if it was first floor im like 75% sure

[acoustic ridge]

do yk what the door looks like?

[molten finch]

There isnt a door inot the little room im talking about

there is into the classroom but i dont rmemeber

[acoustic ridge]

the shelter room is on first floor in a classroom?

[molten finch]

i belive so

could be bullshitting but i do know there is a room like that on the map

[acoustic ridge]

alr ty

[stark hollow]

i just want it back lmao

[molten finch]

is there a third soft obj in 23 megs?

[shadow ether]

Sniper or Not mod got you covered I think

[shadow ether]

Server rack, the ongoing stream, and the dude's cp stash

[native rune]

1. Server room
2. Bedside Drawer
3. Computer

[molten finch]

Thank you, doing gods work

[acoustic ridge]

found last civvy, was in a classroom in a tiny hallway that i kept overlooking

[molten finch]

Nice good stuff buddy

Also remember to use your chemmys, theyre your friend especially for the last suspect/civvie finding shit

[acoustic ridge]

ye, had no problem with finding last hostile since like all 4 of them were in the same room

[molten finch]

thats lucky

[shadow ether]

Trying to beat voll house S rank is a cbt exercise damn
I want that holiday shirt but the level is practically built to fuck you over if you can't pierce windows

[molten finch]

pssst https://www.nexusmods.com/readyornot/mods/3234?tab=file

@shadow ether trust me 🙂

You go get that shirt buddy

[shadow ether]

That's kinda cheating

I cheat enough going in with 8 cs nades

[molten finch]

We dont negotiate with terrorists in this house

[tough spire]

Run tasers instead of beanbags, bring an mp7/P90 with a single mag of jhp to shoot out windows.

[molten finch]

or beanabg and run a 5.7 for 20 round mag cap

if youre just shooting windows you dont need to waste a primary slot where you could have beanbag pepperball for a submachine gun

[shadow ether]

Though I really wonder what's the thought process for security detail opening fire on cops first with like half of them "just doing it for the money" or "feeding the family"
Ma dude your employer is about to do some serious time, why try dying for him

[molten finch]

also im still looking for anyone who makes or edits mods to answer a few questions

[molten finch]

Yea, kinda dumb but thats on them, if they wanna die defending a literal subhuman piece of shit they can die doing it

[royal pier]

most of them know what they are defending and they kinda know swat officers hate people with child p word just an idea

but kinda dumb too

[south jackal]

Sirtoasti video ready or not is overrated and underwhelming is extremely good

[shadow ether]

"The security is ex-cops and ex-military" shouldn't they know better than to try and shoot cops? That's a wild opposite of a good idea if you're looking to keep having your family afford things

[molten finch]

youd think so wouldnt you

[vestal mauve]

Also what are they trying to gain
Do they think that if they defeat the SWAT team, the LSPD just lets them leave?

[umbral oar]

If all suspects thought rationally there would be no game

[shadow ether]

Like, a job is a job, but there's five swat dudes coming in to collect my employer, I won't get paid anyway, fuck him, cuff me

Shooting cops aint in my job description

[molten finch]

Yea, bolton security is a weird one

Maybe they have a stake in defending it

[vestal mauve]

Bolton is weird but the Mindjot guards are even weirder

[shadow ether]

Mindjot was recently raided by guys posing as cops so it would make sense they won't trust the uniforms

[royal pier]

I heard one of the guards say shooting the LSPD is fine but keeping children is a bit much

for bolton

[shadow ether]

Most suspects have a reason not to act rationally, it's just bolton security being super weird

[royal pier]

The Minjot security was hired to protest the place and LSPD raided it for a search and seizure for the child no no stuff servers

[umbral oar]

no one trusts lspd either according to the doc dude

[royal pier]

so that is another reason why they could shoot LSPD

[shadow ether]

I can make the case for pretty much every level's opforce wanting to shoot cops except bolton security

[shadow ether]

I don't think any sensible security job can include "don't let law enforcement serve a warrant"

[royal pier]

true

there’s only 3 maps with security I believe

[shadow ether]

But then again they were raided by cop posers so they might be paranoid about that

[royal pier]

Yeah

[shadow ether]

That's kind of stupid but it's understandably stupid

[late isle]

Pretty sure the use of flash bangs, C2 charges, CS gas and so on should be a clear indicator of it being the real police

[shadow ether]

That implies you know what's happening in the rest of the building

[late isle]

Surely you'd hear flash bangs going off.

[shadow ether]

All you have is your hearing, and it all sounds like common explosions and you don't really hear CS

How do you tell a flashbang from a pipe bomb

[brittle sable]

You could hear it, but at a distance it is just loud noise. A bang noise is less "someones raiding my house" and more "what in the absolute fuck was that noise"

[bright valley]

It'd be rad if what had actually happened was they were raided by the MLO for some unclear purpose, and those were the "fake police officers" they previously encountered. But I'm fairly certain that's not it.

[shadow ether]

MLO?

[late isle]

If they were raided by guys using fucking pipe bombs we should be raiding the posers god damn

[royal pier]

But even if they thought it was fake why go right to shooting

I know why but still

[late isle]

I mean it's kinda your job

[shadow ether]

We will but not today

[bright valley]

Mariposa Lily Organization. Very mysterious faction that goes pretty deep into RoN's lore and has a very SWAT-like appearance.

[late isle]

Bro got insider information

[vestal mauve]

Dude I would KILL for the ARG stuff to be put into the game already

[shadow ether]

Because when you are holding an mp5 and the dude screaming at you is holding an ar15 you don't really have the time to check the badge before someone gets shot and you really wanna watch the last episode of your favourite anime before you die

[vestal mauve]

I want that and I want the USIA stuff with Gerald Scott expanded on

[royal pier]

I’m so stupid I forgot that we breach with weapons

[bright valley]

Yeah, ARG seems to be inactive currently last I heard ;-;

[royal pier]

well ignore ma point

[bright valley]

Which is a damned shame because all the new in-game evidence and maps and such would have been such a great opportunity to push that along.

[vestal mauve]

The official word on the ARG is
"Nothing dies, it only becomes mulched"

So the ARG might not be strictly canon but elements of it may appear in the game at a later date
I really hope the MLO makes an appearance

[shadow ether]

Is there any indication bolton sec detail has a personal stake in guarding that dungeon

[vestal mauve]

Not explicitly but like
You can't expect everyone there to be ignorant of what's going on

[shadow ether]

I mean their executives are clearly in it to bin it, but how do we know the gunners are part of it

[stone bay]

I’d check this out, it seems fairly well-researched: https://old.reddit.com/r/ReadyOrNotGame/comments/199x327/bolton_security_might_not_be_the_bad_guys/

[shadow ether]

If they're tied to the job against their will I don't think they should be opening fire on LSPD, like, what are you doing finding a cop and shooting first

Returning fire might be fair(ish) but what the absolute fuck gives shooting first

[shy tulip]

I think as silly as it sounds, the best answer they were gonna give is that criminals raid them often while dressed as cops and even kill them

I don't think any answer was gonna work unless the AI just out right bent over and always gave up, which is not fun

[bright valley]

Plot contrivance, basically.

[shadow ether]

Damn someone in LSPD aint doing their job properly if there's multiple groups who can pose as cops convincingly

[shy tulip]

Florida:

[shadow ether]

Wait a moment, how did you attach a pic

[shy tulip]

[static wigeon]

Wth lolll

[potent cairn]

Is this fr?

[shadow ether]

I thought the bot nukes your posts if there's an embed

[shy tulip]

Yes

Apparently had the whole lights setup and got introuble

[potent cairn]

Dang I wanna work there

[static wigeon]

[shadow ether]

In any case I think next time I'll bring some help with me to S rank the voll house, I want that holiday shirt

[foggy zinc]

||customization unlocker mod enters the room slowly ||

[shadow ether]

Does it keep the unlocks after you remove it?

[foggy zinc]

Depends on how they manage unlocks, if it overwrites the unlock requirements then removing the mod might just disable everything, so im unsure

depends on if you wanna use the mod as well

[static wigeon]

Tbh would be sick if there is a mod to replace the enemies with the floods

Lovin the zombie or not mod

[shadow ether]

Yeah I don't wanna lose my supporter edition fisa gear

I don't use it often but sometimes I got mood for some fedmaxxin'

[shy tulip]

I would imagine it keeps your unlocks that you already have because it's probably just checking and saying you have everything unlocked. But the real file it overrides stays the same.

[shadow ether]

"Unauthorized use of deadly force" on a cartel in the boonies, that -50 is a high five to me the FISA agent

Now that I think of it, who would sue the PD for shooting up a cartel den in the boonies?

[shy tulip]

Cartel family and a good lawyer

(as in skilled)

[shadow ether]

Would a skilled lawyer be able to pull a W in that case?

Suing the LSPD is kind of an uphill battle regardless

[shy tulip]

Yes

"Officer, did he pose a threat to you?"
"Yes"
"Nuh uh"

[shadow ether]

"There's five officers claiming each of the deceased posed a deadly threat, what is your proof to claim otherwise?"

Not LSPD's fault they fought to the last man

[frozen beacon]

what Low ready style do you guys use? is there any difference?

[shadow ether]

Are there styles?

[shy tulip]

I just like high ready because high ready

[frozen beacon]

high and low

[shadow ether]

Where do you pick your low ready style

[frozen beacon]

options, gameplay I think

[shadow ether]

I'll need to check it out
But technically the muzzle should be pointing to the ground when you're not using it

Shooting the earth is no big deal but shooting the sky (especially in a dense city) might be

Which weapons would y'all like los suenos swat to have?

Besides another AR15

[shy tulip]

AR-15-2

[shadow ether]

I think there's one in the game already, and AR-15-3 too

[prime wing]

not very cool guys, at least

[shadow ether]

Are there any cool guys in RoN?

I'm not even entirely sure Judge is one

[foggy zinc]

more 300 BLK guns ofc

[craggy yew]

More shotguns

[foggy zinc]

more shotguns would be cool too, and maybe some PDWs, whatever those may be

[craggy yew]

More head mist

[foggy zinc]

they weren't using those limbs anyways

[shadow ether]

What kind of shotguns would you want

[foggy zinc]

not sure lol, a magfed shotty would be neat, maybe more pump actions or semi-autos

[craggy yew]

Full auto or more semi autos

Or something more interesting looking

Like a kel tec

[shadow ether]

A saiga 12 please

inb4 we get an ar15 chambered in 12g

[craggy yew]

If suspects can have one why can’t I

[shadow ether]

BTW is there a mod that adds an AS VAL?

[craggy yew]

Replaces

But probably not

[shadow ether]

What does it replace

[craggy yew]

You’d have to check nexus

[shadow ether]

I just did and found nothing

I thought someone knows if there's a mod with it out there

[craggy yew]

Is there a lore reason for why there’s usually more suspects than your intel gives or is it just for gameplay

[frail quartz]

"So have you ever used an AR-15 before?"
"AR-15? Nooo... Now, an AR-15-2, sure. plenty of times."
"There is no such thing as an AR-15-2."
"Well, see, in the city...the place was lousy with AR-15-2s."
"No it wasn't."
"Yes it was."

[frail quartz]

Still waiting patiently for a 17 round 9mm and a 15 round .45

Also stop putting rails on MLOK handguards if they aren't being used for anything 😡

[shadow ether]

I think half of it is the intel division not being too able to do their job, and half is just for gameplay because a few times I would go deck the intel division for fucking up by double the amount

[oak copper]

nice HL2 ep2 reference

when pvp tho?

[frail quartz]

The intel only includes suspects they know by name/are 100% positive are there

[shadow ether]

I would appreciate a rough estimate of how many guys we're dealing with

In cases where it's reasonable to look up

Like with Voll house and Mindjot

[cursive sky]

Am I the only one who didn’t know that certain tactical devices had multiple uses per slot?

Like 1 taser slot is 3 mags, each mag is 2 shots.
Or wedges are 2 per slot.

Lock pick gun is one slot but infinite uses

I originally thought it was single use

Are there any others I should know about?

[craggy yew]

lock pick gun never seemed useful

does it have any special benefit then normal lockpicking?

[cursive sky]

It’s faster and silent, npcs can hear you lockpick

If you’re okay sacrificing a slot, I find it nice to have

[royal pier]

It’s way faster

[cursive sky]

It’s definitely not a must have but it’s a nice to have

I think the pepper spray is the only thing I haven’t really found a use for

Like if it’s close to mid range, tasers hurt moral much faster I think

Pepper spray lasts for a long time though, but it is still a consumable

Has anyone seen the ai run out of ammo? I’ve seen them reload and or switch to their secondary, but do they run out?

[crude prism]

They certainly do, as you can rob them off their ammo in the loadout and then watch as they pull out empty weapons

[cursive sky]

I know about the empty weapons but I’ve never given them more than two magazines of a ammunition type and I haven’t seen them run out

I had a non compliant 💥 suspect on neon tomb and the ai went through like at least 3 reloads

Of pepperball

Like if you give them one magazine is that sufficient?

[drifting fog]

why do i get penalized for my ai teammate shooting me

[umbral oar]

Fo realsies?

[drifting fog]

yeah my ai teammate gave me backshots and i got -60

wouldve been an A i think

[umbral oar]

☠️ damn

[cursive sky]

I’ve never had the ai shoot me. Are you wearing the tactical shield or wearing steel plates? They can bounce off you

[drifting fog]

it was on a set of stairs and there was a guy at the top

so the guy at the back shot through me to kill him

ig just an unlucky situation but ion think my ai teammate not checking for crossfire should be -60

or any penalty

[cursive sky]

With the ai inaccuracies update, I’ve seen the swat ai kill civilians multiple times

[drifting fog]

yeah sometimes they'll track a suspect who's strafing and a civvie will catch some bullets

[cursive sky]

It’s possible the team overall was penalized like as a blanket rule

Because you can track each seat member individually in the replay so it could be just coded that way

I’ve had the Jack Adam’s FISA guy hold Maria Lopez hostage in the fisa office in greased palms

The swat ai just shoot both

[cloud fable]

Any reason why my AI swat team just stares at enemies mag dumping me and doesnt shoot them back when im lockpicking XD

[foggy zinc]

They do that sometimes lol. I believe it has to do with them not being in active combat/on alert. Best bet is wedging off doors and halls and ||hope for the best ||

[spare scaffold]

Since the new hot fix is there any ai mods people are preferring ?

I had some real issues with the ai one shotting me through the walls with the 1.0 release but I feel like it’s too easy now. I feel like I can run through the maps too quickly now

[prime mural]

It's much more obvious when doing ltl with beanbags. You'll randomly get concussed as if u got meleed

[foggy zinc]

Ready or Not Here I Come is being recieved very nicely, so it might be worth trying that out. Also speaking about AI, maybe I'm just bad at the game sometimes, but I'd say they're still somewhat lethal, but just less accurate occasionally.

[cursive sky]

If anyone is doing non lethal I’d recommend leaving the ai behind briefly for those first couple of suspects cause they alert like the whole building

[cloud fable]

Is it just me or does the enemy only shoot my arms

[cursive sky]

Your arms are in front of your body

[cloud fable]

my armor never seems to break but my arms are just red af

[humble mauve]

they hate elbows

[cursive sky]

I don’t know if it will highlight the body armor piece that got hit unless it’s the ballistic mask or helmet. Those will break off and you’ll know when they break

[cloud fable]

i definitely never know when ceramic breaks

[cursive sky]

I think it only highlights if your body gets hit, I’ve gone no armor a few times and the torso and head can definitely tank a few shots

Even with ceramic broken, it’s 40% damage reduction

Steel is 70% damage reduction

[autumn orchid]

i’m playing on controller and it’s a little wonky to order my teammates around, i’m new at the game, are they important?

[foggy zinc]

yes they are lol

[cursive sky]

Sometimes they’re helpful and sometimes they’re not helpful.

[soft narwhal]

When your armor gets blacked is when it's broken.

[cloud fable]

ive never seen it black unless bugged right at the start of the round

[autumn orchid]

oh ok 😭 i’m new asf and i spent like the first hour just learning the controls

[cloud fable]

i might have some permanent UI bug or something lol wtf

[cursive sky]

Can they save you in a pinch sometimes? Yes. Can they also body block you? Yes they can also do that.

[cursive sky]

I’ve never seen that.

[soft narwhal]

I always run ceramic so I always see it lol

[cloud fable]

I run ceramic and dont see it ever

Sometimes UI shows I have no armor at all at the start of the round

[cursive sky]

Is it because you’re more likely to get incapacitated than have the armor break

[cloud fable]

Thats the assumption I came to

[cursive sky]

Incapacitating and death for the player are basically the same thing

[cloud fable]

My experience now is that my armor never breaks (ceramic) , my arms are forever red , and im dead

Which makes me feel like theyre aiming my arms, sure my arms are infront of me but cmon man do they not shoot center mass at all lol

[cursive sky]

Nah their aim got hella nerfed in hot fix 3

[cloud fable]

It makes me feel like if theyre gonna aim my arms so much I could just run ceramic frontplate to prevent penetration to torso

[cursive sky]

They always be shooting the legs

[cloud fable]

I get legs too yes. But its like are they straight up targetting my limbs

In which case, steel is just detrimental if theyre gonna do that

Also i figured out why the ai isnt shooting, gotta use the commands more on them, asking them to cover or breach to kinda keep them in alert

[cursive sky]

They’re helpful for defusing wire traps on sins of the father and breaching in a sequence, they sometimes can secure suspects and rifles for you (unless they get stuck) and they can carry wedges and other tacticals for you

[autumn orchid]

how do i know when a mission is over

[cloud fable]

If i ask them to open a door and clear with gas, they'll stop if theres a trip?

[cursive sky]

If you haven’t failed a primary objective, and you’ve gotten all soft objectives, secured all suspects, civilians, and guns, the game will send you to the score screen

If you’ve gotten soft complete, the ai can search and secure for you

Unless there’s a locked door or the civilian isn’t in a surrender position

[cursive sky]

No, you have to detect the trip first with mirror gun, then they’ll cut the wire. I haven’t tested that yet

I mentioned sins of the father because the doors are too flush with the doorframe so you can’t cut the wire manually

On brisa cove and Sullivan slope this isn’t such a problem and you can peek and cut traps yourself

[cloud fable]

i see got it, thanks for clarification

[autumn orchid]

yea this makes more sense now

i got an a+ my first mission

how good is that

[fleet burrow]

Dev update?

[craggy yew]

best rank for a lethal run

[cloud fable]

freaking hilarious, 4 swat behind me, im holding a shield and a suspect is magdumping into my shield

theyre just standing behind me staring at him and asking him to surrender

[shy tulip]

I suspect they are probably a lot more careful about shooting if you're in their general fire arc considering people were angry about them shooting through them while trying to save them

[cloud fable]

I see ok i'll stop getting in their way lol

someone said shotguns or sa58 is best gun for swat, is that true

[shy tulip]

They're only saying that because the SA58 is a one shot gun because its 7.62

Shotguns however are very op at any range and can block off limbs

[cloud fable]

Whats the meta shotgun loadout? slugs or buck

[tawny scroll]

🧠🧠🧠 WE DONT HAVE SAMURAI SWAT

[autumn orchid]

i tried to kill as least as possible but

[vestal mauve]

There's no meta load outs
Every gun works at some level, just pick what you like and experiment

[bright valley]

C2 is two charges per slot.

[foggy zinc]

supernova or B1301/Benelli M4 (XM1014)

[shy tulip]

I have never had a reason to switch to slugs

If you aren't instant killing with buckshot, you can aim for armor and cause them to surrender

[formal brook]

i use slugs a lot on brisa cove as for some reason they get stunned when i shoot armor

[shy tulip]

Wouldn't be surprised if they nerf it actually

Yeah but buckshot works probably better considering slugs are the armor pen option

[formal brook]

theyre also good on the spider when you clear the store area then the long pathway at the other end of the courtyard

[cloud fable]

Apparently the reason is that slugs oneshot L2 armor onwards

[shy tulip]

As well as less overpen if you miss

[bright valley]

Slugs to incapacitate, buckshot to kill.

[vestal mauve]

Slugs less overpen? What?

[cloud fable]

To me i see buckshot as more forgiving due to spread but it doesnt seem to spread does it

[vestal mauve]

No buckshot in RON is like real life, the spread is really minimal at the range gunfights take place at

[cloud fable]

Ah so it's basically AP/JHP

with buckshot incapping on limb hit

[bright valley]

Buckshot tends to do a lot worse than incap on a limb hit.

[vestal mauve]

Buckshot can one shot most perps and remove limbs

[bright valley]

Yeeeeup. It's probably the most devastatingly destructive ammo in the game.

Which is fun. I like it more when games make shotguns feel like power weapons rather than pellet sprayers with almost no range.

[craggy yew]

should probably try shotguns again i switched it out for the sr 16

[celest maple]

I would like to see usage of non-suppressed shotguns indoors result in player hearing loss

[cloud fable]

was there a function to default the ai loadout to something?

Like every time i load a new commander game , it defaults to ai loadout?

[shy tulip]

That happens, I don't know if they use a specific preset besides whatever the games default save uses

[cursive sky]

is there a point in having more than one lockpick gun

having multiple pepper sprays just seems to lengthen the duration despite being 1 can

are there any locked doors in the practice range

cant seem to find any, maybe im unlucky

When selecting heavy armor, you can choose if you want full, front/back/ or just front.
When selecting light armor, there's no difference between front/back and full right? They should be the same?

And the anti-stab vest is just front/back kevlar?

am I understanding this correctly?

or does it not have any bullet protection material

[cloud fable]

Ive seen locked doors

[cloud fable]

I believe theres no diff yes

[cloud fable]

It's just kevlar yes, also any plates u dont choose gets filled with kevlar

So heavy armor has kevlar sides

if u frontback

[cloud fable]

Same as more than 1 mirror gun i assume , not really

[cursive sky]

how do you have more than one mirrorgun on 1 person

[craggy yew]

equip it on another officer

[cursive sky]

I remember laughingsoldier had a spreadsheet on weapon damages and types but he deleted it because it was obsolete due to the ammo descriptions in the menu now.
But he did have a spreadsheet detailing which armor types each map wore.
Do any of the suspects wear anything higher than ceramic?

There was a specific sfx and vfx for each type of armor

[brisk rapids]

is anyone else latency really high rn?

[cursive sky]

lag is based on whomever is hosting.

[brisk rapids]

alr

[cursive sky]

I think ceramic was a white vfx but i dont remember the other two types and what they looked like

[cloud fable]

oh u mean on 1 person i see

Gas station enemies have no armor but double health, Ides of march/elephant/sins of the father and relapse wears armor and have even more health (400)

sullivan slope has 500hp and armor as well

so it's not just armor diff but health diff. These are the maps that are different from all the others

My numbers might be totally off.. But the general idea is there, certain maps have enemies with more health. They also wear better armor and their armor is different from ours.

Elephant all suspects have tier 4 (highest) armor, sins of the father has a few tier 4, the rest tier 3, and neon tomb qadamah has tier 4 armor

Tier 4 means shotgun with slugs take like 4 shots to incap

Tier 3 and below it's just oneshot

[balmy sentinel]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1d89lpFDA9lo_v13iBlnhtuA6DvuUnKfPaeo0d4RBGJ4/edit?usp=sharin

This document explains everything in pretty good detail.

(Not made by me)

[cloud fable]

omg i was looking for that

[gleaming fable]

hey bros, all the missions now are just barricaded suspects right?

[balmy sentinel]

No

Theres a mix.

School is bomb threat + active shooter

[cloud fable]

But there's only 1 "type" per map now so what u see is what u get when u play the map

[balmy sentinel]

Hospital is bomb threat

[gleaming fable]

cool cool. thanks.

[balmy sentinel]

Stream is also treated like “active shooter” bc its a SWATing call

[cloud fable]

Before updates there was this annoying genre active shooter where suspects shoot civs

I dont see that anymore

[stone bay]

It was taken of Steam because Valve saw it as too contreversial to have. Which says a lot considering Steam allows almost everything, unless games like Diablo 4 which is available on other platforms

[cloud fable]

good. cos it was so annoying

u make any noise, they start shooting civs

[exotic skiff]

i just ran ready or not on my laptop and it worked. its a bit laggy but its managable

[sick spoke]

can i refund ready or not?
i just wanna try the game to see if it lags or not

[cursive sky]

I thought suspects had 100 hp and swat has 160 hp, but are incapped at 50%

[stone bay]

Depends on what hardware you're using.

[sick spoke]

r u an expert

ill dm u my specs n all

[balmy sentinel]

[stone bay]

Not an expert. Just look at Ready or not specs

[sick spoke]

my laptop can run gta 4 tho

[cursive sky]

this person links laughingsoldier's old spreadsheet before he took it down

or maybe the old link just expired

[sick spoke]

will i be able to refund ready or not?

[cursive sky]

They did alot of optimizations recently so the game runs smoother now

if you're buying through steam you can refund if you've played less than .... 2 hours? I think.
and or within 2 weeks of purchase.

[sick spoke]

why does the game loook so pixelated in low graphics

[cursive sky]

it needs time to load

the level of detail will change

[sick spoke]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBmU2J31mRM

[cursive sky]

if you look directly at something, the LOD changes

[sick spoke]

im ryzen 5 btw

[sick spoke]

are u a tech savvy guy

[cursive sky]

not really

it looks worse than usual because he's scaling down the resolution to 50%, and he's playing on a non standard resolution.

nobody normally plays on 1366x768 with resolution scaled to 50%

standard resolutions tend to be 1920x1080

[sick spoke]

will it make a difference in the fps?

[cursive sky]

Higher resolutions will lower your fps, especially if it's higher than what your gpu is rated for

Most computers can run on 1080p

you don't need a super computer to run that.

[sick spoke]

heres my processor

Processor AMD Ryzen 5 3500U with Radeon Vega Mobile Gfx 2.10 GHz

[sick spoke]

vega 8 graphics

[cursive sky]

The recommended processor is ryzen 5-1600 or newer

your processor is fine

but you said you had a laptop with integrated graphics

[sick spoke]

idk my laptop can run gta 4

i dont play much games, can i uh... put my laptop to sleep

will it disrupt my downloadingprocess

[cursive sky]

yes

[sick spoke]

so i have to leave it on..

[tough spire]

Making your computer sleep will generally shut down processes like downloads, yes 🙂

[fallow sage]

tbf it's still struggling to play it on a GT1030 with 2GB RAM so yeah

[cursive sky]

🙏 im lucky to have a 3060

[sick spoke]

Im playing on 8gb ram but it says 6.94 usable

[cursive sky]

your computer uses ram yes

[sick spoke]

How do i see it?

[sick spoke]

Yeah i think

I dont know much about these guys

[cursive sky]

see what

[cursive sky]

out of 8gb, you have 6.94 gb free

storage, and other processes active, such as discord and steam will also use ram

[cursive sky]

you have a laptop with integrated graphics right? There's no gpu to see

I use a desktop with a dedicated gpu

for integrated graphics, the processor(cpu) does both the normal computations and also the graphical computations

gpus, graphical processing units, handle the graphics, reducing the load on the cpu. thats why some computers have dedicated gpus, helps games or rendering software run better

[sick spoke]

Ohh

[gusty turret]

is the mom dead in streamer mission

[stone bay]

Played SWAT 4, and actually improved this time. Instead of shooting all the suspects, I arrested half of them.

[kindred temple]

the streamer mission was like a example of swatting

[crude prism]

If you were looking at previous iterations of my spreadsheet, it was based out of 100hp as I was manually working the values and just assuming that for simplicity it would be out of 100 base. But of course it's actually out of 160/160 for 320 total on a standard suspect + the player

(using unreal modding tools to look at game files now instead of just manually testing literally everything in the game, even though that still happens)

[urban walrus]

https://void.bamboohr.com/careers/37
Void is looking for a game director
~50 employees
Got posted a day ago based on the LinkedIn post about it

[tacit gull]

Let me guess, contractor?

[urban walrus]

Employment Type: Full-Time
Compensation: DOE (Depends on Experience)

So far, only the Lead producer is contractor

[tacit gull]

It does say permanent contractor, so no employee benefits i'm guessing

Game Director and Lead Producer roles are both really important, i think you'd probably want to make sure they get a lot of security for the role

[urban walrus]

Lead Producer has left Void

[soft narwhal]

Honest question

Why do you keep track of everyone at VOID?

When someone leaves, when they're hiring, keeping track of their LinkedIn socials. Genuine curiosity. For the past 2 years you've posted photos of the employees/devs from LinkedIn and such.

You do this sometimes without any context and just do it randomly like you did today. Is there a reason why?

[tacit gull]

It does kind of anwser the question of why the game came out in this state, with a lot of legacy systems still in place that dont offer as much cohesion as they should

[craggy yew]

God forbid a company has employees move on to different jobs or hire more passionate and experienced people

You know what god forbid a gaming company hires anybody or lets someone off

[tacit gull]

It's not really "anybody" though, is it? Theese roles are kinda important

[craggy yew]

Managers are important at any job why do they quit and get replaced

[prime wing]

I dont think kratos is questioning that in the first place

no one is

[soft narwhal]

The only reason why I ask is because they've also posted photos of the developers within discord's and has been posting stuff like this for the past 2 years with no context, just unprompted.

[craggy yew]

Unemployed activities

[cursive sky]

referencing this guide https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3118547658
its by laughingsoldier but it's outdated iguess

[iron star]

Maybe they have great interest in working for VOID.

Regardless, loosing/letting go of that position shortly after release and still missinf certain update is an interesting development

[cursive sky]

Do you think there's plans to release the old legacy maps? I actually really enjoyed them

[soft narwhal]

So.. to show they have great interest.. they go around posting photos of the developers? Without any context?

[iron star]

The photos is just weird ye

[cursive sky]

Maybe not the narrative that void wants to tell though, most of their storytelling lies in map details. Every map is so detailed in how they convey the scenario, the old maps were not as polished in terms of narrative

https://tenor.com/view/fax-fax-my-brother-spit-yo-shit-spit-yo-spit-yo-shit-indeed-gif-507805022135946814

[iron star]

If only that same care and attention went to individual suspect ai game would be a true swat 4 succesor, let's pray it happens

[craggy yew]

If we get any dlc I hope it’s shown from a different agency’s perspective

[cursive sky]

from like FISA?

[craggy yew]

So then we can maybe see what FISA’s problem was

[cursive sky]

arent they corrupt lol

isnt that why their subtitle is listed red and not blue

or did i miss the point

[humble mauve]

last time it was brought up (a while ago) it was thrown around that a different country would be cool

[craggy yew]

I think being the only good people in a corrupt agency could make a good story along with gameplay

[prime wing]

[craggy yew]

Like you have to let some suspects go after your radio goes off with a code word or something

[hazy token]

would be sick to have a FISA DLC

i don't think the FISA are corrupt in that way

[humble mauve]

instead of pepper spray you get a big vial of maple syrup

[hazy token]

maybe morally corrupt but i don't think systematically corrupt

[cursive sky]

isnt the undercover guy from cesars get ratted out by a leaker
and then theres jack adams participating in shady shit in greased

[craggy yew]

Oh an idea I just thought of for being a corrupt agency would be hiding or disposing of evidence

[cursive sky]

who knows if the container full of women actually got released in port hokan or if they got trafficked again

[hazy token]

i didn't know about the undercover person being ratted, but i'm pretty sure jack adams was doing this behind FISA's back

[hazy token]

it was likely a controlled delivery

[prime wing]

Jack adams too bad for fisa

[plain osprey]

would be so boring

[cursive sky]

isnt that why 1 is dead and the other one who's supposed to be alive (later found dead in the mission) is also dead?

have you played since hotfix 3

[alpine steeple]

Computer straight up passed awag

I don't remember the last hotfix

[brittle sable]

wheres that clip and is it pre or post hotfix

[cursive sky]

AI perception is the same, but AI accuracy is been reduced a lot, as well as wallpen damage. They also fixed the headshot damage; it was exponential instead of multiplicative

[alpine steeple]

Idk saw it on youtube

[alpine steeple]

Exponential

[cursive sky]

you wont get beamed like john wick now

[brittle sable]

tf-

[cursive sky]

it was a bug

[earnest phoenix]

i wouldnt say headshot damage is 'fixed' now

[alpine steeple]

Better than drg forgetting to fix armor not working for like 15 years or whatever

School maps incredibly difficult

a few days ago literally thr last guy wiped my entire team with a pistol because they didnt even try to move while getting shot at and didn't try to shoot back eithet

Can't run but they want you to kill all 3 or 4 of the shooters in less than 4 minutes or they incapacitate

[cursive sky]

you can run i think

[alpine steeple]

Ai just stopped for me sometimes

Wouldn't do anything

[cursive sky]

the suspects do warning shots in the start

[brittle sable]

it does happen
whats that dude who got shot like 19 times, 3 of which were headshots, and lived for hours?

[uneven kraken]

That's cause Accuracy seems to be the main thing tuned, though I've also gotten a lot more surrenders so morale was probably tuned too,

but in the chance RNG hates you...

[alpine steeple]

Never seen a surrender

[uneven kraken]

Really??

[alpine steeple]

And I hate the rng

I could do everything right

[cursive sky]

oh yeah morale on neon tomb is a pain, especially with the bomb suspects trying to explode their vest and refusing to give up

4 tases, 3 pepper clips later from all the AI

[uneven kraken]

It does make in universe sense though, I will say...

[earnest phoenix]

[urban walrus]

Well, I'm just curious about what is happening inside VOID, trying to make some sense for why did they do this and that. All the photos are public and anyone can find it if they spend some time for it. If they have any problems with it, they shouldn't have posted it in the first place.

[soft narwhal]

As I also asked, why do you post their photos randomly without any context?

With how long you've been doing this, and how randomly you do it, it does not make any sense why someone would randomly. When nobody is talking or saying anything just go.

"Hey here's a photo of the development team when they went to this event"
"they just let go/someone quit of x position"

[brittle sable]

If youve owned it more than 2 weeks or played more than 2 hours youre fucked

[cursive sky]

no they bought it earlier today

[cursive sky]

i mean job postings are one thing but like irl photos are a bit weird yeah. I mean it's public sure, you can definitely argue that, but it is a little bit borderline stalkerish imo

[soft narwhal]

With how often and how long you've been doing this, it really is seen as creepy. Borderline stalking almost. You've been doing this for the last 2-3 years. No context, unprompted bringing up the developers when someone gets hired, posting their linked in profiles, posting photos of them.
With you being curious about what is happening inside VOID, does that really constitute just going around posting stuff like that unprompted? Just follow them on linked in and keep it to yourself man lol

[sick spoke]

I just bought it

I played for 58 mins

[cursive sky]

people make their linkedin profiles public because they want to get hired and show off their CV, not get stalked or death threats

when angry fans get upset, people send death threats

Like those palworld devs who got death threats over angry pokemon fans

[iron star]

sanest nintendont fan

[thorny warren]

did anyone notice the vehicles are all silent in the game? the van in the cutscene when you start a mission and the ones that drive by during certain missions

[cursive sky]

i think the game deafens alot when you go out of bounds.

I thought you could get hit by the cars in gas station

but you cant unfortunately

the cars are out of bounds 😭

[urban walrus]

Ok, I have just started doing this since August last year, and why does it matter that I post their “publicly posted” photos and info? Does it affect anything if I do that? Yes, some people will use the info that I posted to send death threats or something, but if I didn't post it, they're still going to find it anyway and post it on their own communities and profile.

[thorny warren]

there are theories that say the swat officer you play as is actually in coma because there are dream like elements in the game

[earnest phoenix]

all in le head

ron is actually just a figment of judge's imagination after he overdosed on that 7$ fentanyl

[thorny warren]

i started looking at theories after i saw what's in the last mission, i just knew something was odd

[soft narwhal]

I'm asking for the reasoning behind why you're doing this. Being " interested in what VOID does" does not constitute to you posting their photos, their LinkedIn profiles, their own websites portfolios, keeping track of who got let go or quit and who got hired, and posting it completely unprompted and without any context just posting it. It's seen as borderline stalker behavior and very creepy.

I never said people are using it for malicious means. I'm asking for YOUR reasoning behind it because it's just creepy dude. Do you have just no respect or any etiquette? You're posting without any context, unprompted. " hey here's the photos of the developers and their profiles and website portfolios"

Do you not understand how creepy that is? If you truly do not see how creepy you are acting, you honestly should maybe lay off some social media for a while and read a book. You've been told by many people even a VOID developer responded to one of your creepy posts and said " this is weird". If your sole reasoning behind doing this and being creepy towards VOID developers is just because " It's public info I can do what I want". I don't even know what to tell you anymore other than try and self reflect on how creeped out you would be if someone got ahold a photo of you that you posted to social media, your personal work profile, and started keeping track on every new job you got. Randomly posts your photo for no reason other than just to post. Also genuinely how genuinely creepy you are with this and we will end this conversation on that. There is no hope.

[thorny warren]

i also heard the guy in "a lethal obsession" takes more bullets to take down because he has some kind of augmentation, idk

[soft narwhal]

He has some kinda armor on him wrapped around him

Chainmail + metal plates or something

[thorny warren]

a home made thing i guess

he must have a lot of experience with firefights

[soft narwhal]

Nothing that will stop a round from a SA-58 tho

Takes down every suspect in like 2 shots to body

[humble mauve]

gerard in the first full implementation of the map

you know i worry when i see very few suspects at the start because thay means i'll have to handle more of them simulteniously

[silver willow]

I'm think after hotfix#3 game became easy...
It sad...
Now I'm not scare move through map...

[kindred nacelle]

Is the FM50 even real in game? I have no idea how you get it, and there was never any implication that it's for supporter edition only, so that would be a rather scummy lack of communication.

[thorny warren]

in valley of the dolls i shot a suspect and he fell off from that room with equipments for sports

like out of the window, i died before finding him, if he was still on the map lol

[brittle sable]

Has anyone else noticed a decrease in AI events like hostage taking or fake surrenders?

Like, I expected it to decrease, but I seriously haven't seen any this patch.

Makes the game kinda boring.

[thorny warren]

when i unsubscribe from the gunfighter mod it doesn't change anything even when i restart or reinstall the game

[thorny warren]

yes i think it was more common right after 1.0

[earnest phoenix]

does he no longer have his dick out

[inland wolf]

is it better to be pacifyingly easy or rage inducingly hard

they used to be utter crackheads in every sense of the word

[kindred nacelle]

Literally superhuman (wallhacks and aimbot reaction times)

[silver willow]

Second variable more attractive)

[inland wolf]

the moment a pixel of your foot appeared they would blast your chest through 13 walls with a 9mm jhp

[silver willow]

not to that extent of course..

[viscid kettle]

someone playing on a RTX 2060 with an i5?
how much FPS you get?

[compact sequoia]

do players take less damage than the ai does?

even without armor, i feel like i can take more shots than they can

[jolly verge]

yeap, damage cap to player is 70 and you max health is 160

[compact sequoia]

wait, so the damage cap doesn't apply to ai?

[jolly verge]

nope

only against players

[compact sequoia]

huh, never knew that

[jolly verge]

ai take full damage

[earnest phoenix]

was this changed recently i feel like i can take a lot more shots now after the hotfix

[compact sequoia]

i think where you're shot at also matters

and they did say they updated where ai can target you

[jolly verge]

they fix headshot multi so you can survive it's more often now, but also break rifle, lmg damage for every ai

they deal like only 0.5 dur damage to ceramic plates now

[earnest phoenix]

yeah i run only helmet most of the time and i can survive like 3 headshots

[jolly verge]

smg and pistol dont have this problem

[compact sequoia]

dev moment

[bright valley]

Man, the fake surrenders before hotfix 3 were such a meme.

Whoop, hidden pistol, whoop, hidden pistol again, whoop, hidden knife to mix things up

Meanwhile you're just impatiently standing there with a beanbag shotgun trained on the guy like 😒

[stone bay]

Do you just arrest the suspect who surrenders, or do you shoot?

[earnest phoenix]

most ive seen was one guy pulling 3 pistols out after surrendering

[cloud crypt]

Wait they surrender too? 🤣🤣

[compact sequoia]

wait, this is a police game?

[brittle sable]

They were pretty memey but the fact that I can now just leave a guy for 5 minutes with my back turned trusting he'll sit there 100% is kinda meh

[bright valley]

I've still seen them here and there.

[stone bay]

Bruh, in Swat 4 at least like half of them surrenders so you can arrest them

[fading grotto]

How do you get S rank? Don’t kill anyone?

[earnest phoenix]

you need every single suspect alive, report all.soft objectives and secure all evidence

I dont think ive ever used the tazer i just use the shotgun and give my ai the vks and gas everyone

im too afraid ill miss a shot and get killed

happens to me enough with the beanbag and tazer.is even slower to reload

[compact sequoia]

pepperball gun?

[fading grotto]

Aww so no more shooting the civilians

[stone bay]

Does anyone here get an s rating?

[cloud fable]

yeah..

I think a lot of people get S

[dry wigeon]

WTF is going on with pistol lethality? i just drilled a .45 AP round into some turds skull and it knocked him out

[compact sequoia]

headshot multiplier got fixed and pistol doesn't deal enough damage to kill on headshot, only incapacitate

[dry wigeon]

is it supposed to be like that? pretty sure 9mm would turn my forehead into curry powder

[compact sequoia]

well it's not unheard of for people to survive headshot

and it will still put them down anyway

imagine if we still had adam update's scoring system where cuffed incapacitated suspects count as arrest

you can s rank with just a pistol by headshotting everyone lol

[dry wigeon]

for that to happen it has to be a small calibre bullet at a fair distance impacting the left or right hemisphere of the brain

i hit this guy between the eyes with a .45

[cloud fable]

U can incap suspects on bodyshot too, even with shotguns... I think the scoring is fine the way it is..

[compact sequoia]

yeah i agree, they might bump the headshot damage up for pistol caliber or not idk

[dry wigeon]

i dunno it seems stupid that i can put a rifle round through someones sternum and they are just knocked out

[cloud fable]

It's a miracle, the bullet barely missed his vital organs :3

[dry wigeon]

few days ago i supernovaed a guy in the chest with buchshot and an injury that would have turned his chest cavity into bolognese just knocked him out

[cloud fable]

I think my only quip with the game is that suspects can shoot u if they can see 1 pixel of u, and they dont need to see u with head. (So like their right hand gun can be peeking beside a corner and they can shoot u like they see u when their head is behind the wall)
Also they can run and gun with amazing accuracy.

[compact sequoia]

thank god for the ai mods

[dry wigeon]

im sick and tired of being wall banged i can say that much

[cloud fable]

Yeah if u run behind a wall, they shoot at the wall too, but I guess thats alright. I havent been wallbanged out of view that often

[dry wigeon]

FUCKING HELL YOU CAN BLOW THEIR BICEPS OFF!

i dunno if its the gore mod i installed but i blew half the skin off some guys hand and i see bone

[cloud fable]

It really sounds like it is lol

[dry wigeon]

hang on screenshot time

[compact sequoia]

shotgun separates the boy from the man

and limbs

[dry wigeon]

the head from the body

[compact sequoia]

no wonder why my swat teammate always goes in crisis mode when using a shotgun

it was a war crime in ww1 for a reason

[dry wigeon]

i just watched judge blow a guys hopes and dreams all over that hostage

[compact sequoia]

chad judge does not care about your mental health, he needs the funny haiwaiian shirt

[fiery flame]

what is a good gun in the game right now, im trying to find a good middleground between damage, recoil and ammo compacity

[lost inlet]

the arn or the mcx

[fiery flame]

thanks

[neat dagger]

When will the devs add the new suspect type acorn

[lost inlet]

what acorn means?

[neat dagger]

Google police acorn

[lost inlet]

bruh that guy get freak out cuz of a squirrel

[neat dagger]

Magdumped the handcuffed guy in the back of his patrol vehicle

And his partner too, and yelled he had been hit

He didn’t actually hit the guy either

[lost inlet]

yikes that wont look good on the department

[feral slate]

how do I get the 2019 build?

[compact sequoia]

hack john void's pc

[thorny warren]

i didn't know the fn fal was so powerful, i one shot suspects with it...

its like a shotgun, but with the accuracy of an assault rifle

[final parrot]

Hello can someone help me
Cause when I try to play mod map, the game crash, even I try many times

But if I play other mods like (gunfighter)
It is totally fine

[viscid kettle]

newsletter today?

[final parrot]

?

[viscid kettle]

is it time for a bi-weekly newsletter again today? last one got canceled

[final parrot]

Hello can someone help me
Cause when I try to play mod map, the game crash, even I try many times

But if I play other mods like (gunfighter)
It is totally fine

[muted star]

Outdated mod probably

[final parrot]

Nah, i don’t really think so
But, is a map called( Not so convenience )

[craggy yew]

There’s your issue it’s not convenient

[final parrot]

So funny

[craggy yew]

I know the ready or not discord’s official funny guy

[tough spire]

I thought you were the official thirster

[craggy yew]

That too

I’m a man of many talents

[zinc rapids]

Do you have any AI mods

Because those were broken by the latest fix

[pastel adder]

Yup. It’s so strong that it can sometimes overpenetrate and shoot through suspects into whatever’s behind them

[vague minnow]

I'm doing an Ironman run. Currently on Clementine Hotel. One of my officers resigned due to an unauthorized use of force penalty... is my Ironman run ruined? (The achievement for losing 0 officers)

Or does the achievement only require zero deaths?

[daring horizon]

What is the best gun in ready or not?

[mighty elbow]

SA58

[daring horizon]

Without any mods

[pastel adder]

I’d say still SA58, ARN, or SCAR if you’re looking for rifles

If you mean any gun period then the M1014 is great

[mighty elbow]

SA58

[daring horizon]

What about

A pistol?

[mighty elbow]

high capacity 45acp or the 5 7

[daring horizon]

Can you edit helmets?

like the SF MK III?

[wheat pelican]

SR16 all the way if you actually want the potential for some of them to survive

Homies mentioned to you literally the most powerful guns you could put in your hands lmao

[daring horizon]

LOL

[daring horizon]

can you help with some missions?

[wheat pelican]

anything chambered in 45 up is pretty lethal, SA58 is basically a chunky ass AK, ARN is .300 so 7.62x35mm, SCAR just fucking slaps people due to it's strong damage and projectile speed as well as it's spring strength etc. makes shots pop harder. M1014 is literally an automatic shotgun that has barely any spread even with buckshot, gas powered, fast shooting, barely any kick or delay to refire.

So literally, they suggested basically 1 shot kill weapons even in 'potential incap' spots

given those rifles and the rounds they consist of have higher penetration too overall

higher bleedout chance dismemberment chances etc

if you want the potential to just incap suspects, run 9mm or lighter, rifles that aren't chambered in 7.62/300. SMGs work too but the fact they are high powered usually you accidently off someone because of it.

by lighter I mean variance of JHP to FMJ depending on the map

[urban walrus]

You can't, it's password locked

[earnest phoenix]

whats the earliest playable build

[wheat pelican]

why would you want to go to earlier builds? It's more janked than current?

And far less things

[earnest phoenix]

so what i want to see how the game was before I started playing

[urban walrus]

You can play one of the PvP builds

[vale mason]

Why is the game so choppy

I’m using a 1650 but all low and I have performance on but the game stutters like crazy

I’ll go to 120 fps to 30 and it’ll freeze for literally no reason

[earnest phoenix]

do i access them by that steamdb depot thing or is it different

[stone bay]

It's unoptimized

[urban walrus]

You use Depot Downloader and download the October 2020 PvP build

[wheat pelican]

Do people even run the pvp build?

[tacit gull]

Keep in mind those are on the [archived] version, so you need that in case you don't have it

[wheat pelican]

It was actually pretty nice, the sprint was cool too but it did feel far from what the game is lol

[cloud fable]

riot shield on my back blocks bullets yes?

[earnest phoenix]

is it even possible to get it

isnt it only for supporters

[urban walrus]

Yeah, before the game went early access

[earnest phoenix]

[crude prism]

yeh

[wheat pelican]

Honestly, the way you were able to cant your sights and laser in october build and the recoil were so much better than what it is now imo

[vale mason]

Yes

[cloud fable]

U could also taser + riot shield

[wheat pelican]

they really did sorta 'ease' up on majority of their mechanics

[crude prism]

Unless I'm halucinating, the recoil in the olds PvP build was turned up goofy as hell because "PvP"

[cloud fable]

Wait... u wrote the guide?

[crude prism]

ye

[cloud fable]

😄

[tacit gull]

No

[crude prism]

🙂 glad you've enjoyed it, hope it's useful and not totally incoherent lmao

[cloud fable]

Nah I could understand it completely, it probably the most insightful resource on this game

Any new findings lately XD?

Or recommendations? Personally im going for ironman challenge no officer lost

Like someone asked earlier, idk if officers leaving count as officers lost also.. kinda vague

[crude prism]

new patch did lots of funsies

[tacit gull]

Probably not considering they're still up, who knows where he found them

[cloud fable]

So guide slightly outdated now? I'll check out patchnotes

[crude prism]

Nah everything new is in already. By new patch I mean the one earlier this month

[cloud fable]

Ah i see got it

[urban walrus]

Looks like it got ripped straight from the NDA discord

[tacit gull]

Huh

[stone bay]

I think it only counts if they're dead or incapped

[crude prism]

An officer cannot:

Die
Quit
Be fired

Or else you will fail the achievement

[cloud fable]

Oh god. That makes it a lot harder than i thought

So even if i go full lethal, they still leave yeah cos im killing suspects

How does extracting from the mission work :/

[shy tulip]

If you’re leaving via the van, you’re doing something wrong

[cloud fable]

Never tried it but i saw a comment above saying extracting without anyone dying still counts so thats kinda weird

[umbral oar]

what invalidates a hanged man run

[gleaming crescent]

can anyone help me install voicelines? Cuz i fucked my files and now Judge is a mute

[cloud fable]

Seems like I just need to learn how to shuffle the swat members around, and get sbags

[amber hearth]

Whats the point of free look ?

[wheat pelican]

to look free

[normal patrol]

To be free to look

[umbral oar]

to freely look

[craggy yew]

To not get charged for looking

[shy tulip]

To look for free

[timber mesa]

can quickly glance around without having to change your aim and movement

[muted star]

Would be nice if you could do that while reloading

[timber mesa]

yeah it would be nice

[alpine steeple]

Oh hi RoN dev

I have schizo rants about your games lore

[timber mesa]

it's prevented by something on the technical side afaik

[willow kraken]

Would it be possible to add an option to swivel your body to the direction you're freelooking when you let go of the freelook key? Ground Branch has that option and it makes freelooking super useful

[feral slate]

How?

[willow kraken]

Because right now if you use freelook and see an enemy, instead of your character keeping his eyes on target, you have to look away and turn your entire body to face them

[muted star]

ohh dlc 2

[crude prism]

DLC 2 is kinda blurry, need my glasses

[dim swallow]

Winter 2024 ? wouldnt it be Winter 2023 ?

oh nvm i think i get it now

[timber mesa]

this current Winter 2024

when you take into account the rest of the roadmap it should be more clear

[thorny warren]

thats kind of the reason why swat teams prefer submachine guns rather than assault rifles in situations where suspects dont have armor

[timber mesa]

can see how it would seem that way without it though, we are in the new year :)

[thorny warren]

but the FN FAL shoots nato rounds, which are normally meant for armed forces

[pastel adder]

Oh yeah definitely. The game very much shows why an AR is a risky maneuver for unarmored contacts

[thorny warren]

wait the vanilla rifles shoot nato rounds, but anyway its easy to infer i meant the 7.62mm ones

[sharp yoke]

guys are you ready or not?
?

[thorny warren]

for?

[foggy zinc]

i wanna say it has to do with disabling ADS while actively reloading as well, prbly some spaghetti architecture that's messing things up lel

[normal patrol]

Arrest animations are wayyy too slow and clunky

[bright valley]

I think they're fine, you're just forced to commit when you start and that's probably by design.

The only part of arrests I find clunky is when surrendered people turn around, they animate very strangely.

[fresh oxide]

They really are. I feel like you should have to hold the button for the full animation, so that way you can immediately get up and start shooting if you’re getting shot at

[normal patrol]

This makes more sense than commitment imo. Not very realistic...

[fresh oxide]

I’m not really one for realism. Most realistic thing you can get that isn’t real guns is playing airsoft with low cap magazines

[azure brook]

I sure hope that Multiplayer is Summer 2024 for DLC2?

[urban walrus]

Well, if you have bought the supporter edition before early access release and have the archived version of the game, you can download the october 2020 PvP build from Depot Downloader

[normal patrol]

part of why I choose RoN over groundbranch. If I wanted to micromanage my scope or accessory placement, Id just do it IRL at that point. Theres realism then theres fun and challenege, Im more for the latter

[feral slate]

I don't have that

[urban walrus]

Then it will be impossible to run it

[foggy zinc]

hello officers

[lean valve]

whats the hardest mission in the game in your oppinion?

[astral warren]

The cult's farm just because of how overused post processing is making seeing literally impossible in most parts of the map.

I wish it was still a night map so that I'm not blinded by god rays.

[foggy zinc]

Greased palms 100%

i have trash eyes so seeing anything into the warehouse or outside is friggin impossible

[astral warren]

Postage is also a pain in the dick, but it was reduced somewhat with the recent AI update that kept them from shooting at you through pixel gaps.

[lean valve]

remember doing it

its a fucking cool mission but some parts stutter really hard

once got to the finish, started detaining a guy and then the main suspect came out :kek:

[astral warren]

It is a cool map, I do like it, but I wish the 90 pound woman with an M14 wouldn't fire a 4 inch group in full auto from 25 meters away so consistently. That, and please for the love of GOD calm the fuck down with the god rays and bloom and sunrays.

[foggy zinc]

See into the chapel on Farm and kill the full-auto M14 user any% speedrun

[astral warren]

For real.

[normal patrol]

@astral warren theres a reshade fix for this

213 crack houses isnt as dark and that tunnel level in the desert isnt blinding

[crude prism]

I sure love Cherryessa being totally unplayable because of the fucking smoke projecters they have set up all over the place

[final parrot]

What do you mean AI mods
You mean the suspect AI

[normal patrol]

Like Down Or Die Ai overhaul on Nexus Mods

[final parrot]

So I got LAPD patrol officer uniform mod, gunfighter, Mk18 replacement mod

And that’s all
when I try to play mod map it crash

But if I go other mod e.g ( gunfighter ) it is fine

[neon crystal]

does the game still run like shit

[final parrot]

It crash when I try to play mod maps

[neon crystal]

did they fix the fps issue

[final parrot]

?

[foggy zinc]

????? Am confused here, try singling out whatever mod is causing you issues and don't use it or wait for it to be updated provided the author is active

[final parrot]

10-4

[earnest phoenix]

i really like the animation where you like prod the guy with your knee it feels so smooth and quick compared to others

[final parrot]

Spam link

[normal patrol]
