#

one of the few objectives in this game that actually asks multiple players to play distinct roles in a multi-part process, and we're arguing about whether sniper has access to too many ammo hits

#

who the hell cares

#

the secondary extract in that level is methodical gtfo at its best

jade iron
#

it's a C tier secondary in a level designed during vanilla gtfo duos balance era (r6-present) so it probably is too easy for a 4stack

#

if they change nothing and keep current sniper balance I could see it being an ideal trio

mint light
jade iron
#

then nearly everything 10cc has ever released has failed

mint light
#

now we getting somewhere

jade iron
#

I mean, I started duoing r6 with the belief that my average ass shouldn't be able to duo a whole rundown

junior latch
mint light
junior latch
#

shame

mint light
jade iron
#

then the same thing happened with r7

mint light
junior latch
#

fn not understanding what average actually is

mint light
#

fn does not understand a lot, like error spawns

jade iron
#

but I think if this is the bar you're setting for r6c2ex in particular, then that's a bit rough

#

like, by that standard every level is just ass and we can't ever compare anything

jade iron
#

what do you think I don't understand about error spawns?

#

oh do you mean the spawn locations thing?

#

I think we established that the actual behaviour is garbage

#

like, rayalot described a rule that nobody else guessed beforehand

opaque stag
#

doesn't count, not even 50% more damage main

jade iron
junior latch
#

so the top … 5, 1% ?

#

#NoTrueGTFO

junior latch
#

we serverely underestimate how many people play this game
How many are actually „good“ by discord vet standard etc

and how many are then rly good (actual vets)

#

hell, a lot of people here who are active would struggle with C tier duos

latent palm
#

Having to Duo R5C2 is literally fucked

jade iron
#

also badger is insistent on repeatedly reminding me that I'm bad at the game, so it'd be awful dismissive of me to not get the message right?

latent palm
#

Wait whos badger?

jade iron
#

(that's a Kappa )

latent palm
latent palm
#

Im missing lore here

#

Who is badger

unreal crystal
#

probably a ton of players who are struggling on c tiers as a full group

junior latch
jade iron
#

I don't know, I don't really consider that fair because those people haven't "studied" the game

#

I think their experience is completely different, largely because of a 10cc choice not to tutorialize effective strats

#

(I don't want to have the tutorial debate again)

junior latch
#

So basketball pros shouldnt be categorited as better vs average plebs?

jade iron
#

exactly

#

well in the sense that they'd destroy average plebs sure obv. they're better

#

but average plebs are not basketball players in a meaningful sense

junior latch
#

Avergage basketball plebs

jade iron
#

if an average pleb starts participating in recreational basketball leagues, studying proficient play, practicing etc, then the comparison has meaning

#

another example, I learnt to play fighting games properly, learnt how frame advantage and offensive turns and mixups and footsies and oki work

#

but I'm not actually good at any of the fighting games I've played

#

I'd just destroy casuals who don't know the concepts

junior latch
#

thats just you defining good

#

Example

#

at my best in league i was playing a lot of high offline tournaments

#

but i obviously wasnt pro level

#

Was i good?

#

when i was top 0.1%?

jade iron
#

I'm not saying I'm actually bad at gtfo or fighting games either

#

just not notably good for someone who's learnt the concepts

junior latch
#

so you are saying you arent top 0.01% and thus not good?

#

This game isnt balanced around the top top top players

jade iron
#

true, and 10cc has nearly no reason to balance any content with the most seasoned vets in mind

#

but I don't know, I think I'd prefer a world where 10cc taught their game, dragged more of the playerbase up to a level of proficiency with strats that vets take for granted, and then made content that challenged 4mans at that level

#

but given that neither 10cc nor a lot of people around here really want that kind of tutorialization, it's probably unfair of me to go around saying "lol I duo'd the rundown therefore rundown too easy", since challenging experienced 4mans would shift the balance further away from the bulk of the playerbase

#

which I'm guessing is your point

junior latch
#

Thing is

#

high tier gameplay needs commitment and some skill

#

which is 1 niche to go for

#

they have a high entry point that means figuring out stuff is the challenge and thus easier to get over

#

making gtfo a challenging but not bullshit hardcore game

#

Dude I wish there was an armoury to test out weapons

unborn quiver
#

There's no penalty for leaving missions or dying, so you can always just boot up R1A1 (or just any mission) and play around with weapons, jump back to lobby, repeat

abstract pewter
#

True

unborn quiver
#

But yeah I agree, it would be nice to have a shooting range or something.

vivid light
#

A wave based survival mode would kind of offer the same benefit while also adding some new kind of content IMO

#

Not that I'm really glamoring after either

junior latch
#

r1c1 be like

vivid light
#

kinda

rose nova
#

yeah those levels already kinda exists

wispy bluff
#

I mean it's the low hanging fruit of games like this

rose nova
#

and everyone says r1c1 is just kinda there

wispy bluff
#

Shoot monster? Shoot monster forever

rose nova
#

it needs more than just shoot enemies

unborn quiver
#

Yeah but R1C1 has a long walk to the actual wave portion which I think is detrimental if you just want the combat portion

rose nova
#

even r1c1 has resource management, code hunt, tools guns a part of sneakin, but still

wispy bluff
#

The only problem is that ammo is finite in this game so... New infinite ammo dispensers? Maybe like that thing we but case into in R7 1?

unborn quiver
#

R3C1 is better in that regard

rose nova
#

more like R3A3 i guess

#

since r3c1 doesnt really have a lot of combat till the very very end

unborn quiver
#

Is that the one I"m thinking of? The reactor level in R3

rose nova
#

A3 yeah

unborn quiver
#

Oh yeah that's the one I'm talking about then, my b

rose nova
#

is oki

unborn quiver
#

Cause that one is like two rooms and you're at the holdout, which is way better than R1C1's long walk

vivid light
#

The thing with R1C1 is that it's always the same tileset, always the same waves, ends after a few waves that don't have all kinds of monsters. Like it serves the purpose of a shooting range but if we'd be adding more kinds of things the game than just rundowns then I'd rather have a survival with a somewhat random tileset.
EDIT: Oh and also the walk there.

#

But I reiterate that I'm not after either

unborn quiver
#

Yeah I mean a roguelike gamemode would be great to see as a DLC or something, and the game is perfect for it

rose nova
#

i think this game just wasnt like optimized to hold this kinda gamemode, a wave mode would be incredibly funky to do since u gotta choose the correct rooms to do an arena, some kind of ammo generator, the tool would play along, the difficulty, the multiplayer how would it work cause pros i bet would just kinda kite for the most part

fickle frigate
#

i have a question guys

rose nova
#

like its, interesting as an idea, but idk how hard is to implement

fickle frigate
#

are there special cosmetics for finishing a mission in prisoner efficiency?

rose nova
#

um nope

unborn quiver
#

Yeah only for full clearing Rundowns and the first clear for each expo if I'm not mistaken

rose nova
#

sectors are there to make the level more hard for, personal experience and brag rights basically

#

yeah only apparel ur given is those two

fickle frigate
#

okay thanks :)

rose nova
#

#

the warden might not give me pants but im still doin PE in every run i can

junior latch
junior latch
rose nova
#

its optional ok

#

if u want it to b sneakin

#

it can :3

junior latch
unborn quiver
rose nova
#

that would b so hard to coordinate if its a lobby with 3 other people, assumin it is a 4 people gamemode, which like i would guess yes

unborn quiver
#

Oh yeah, I'm mixing up shooting gallery with survival gamemode

rose nova
#

oh

unborn quiver
#

But yeah as a general survival gamemode it would just have to spoil stuff the further you get into it

rose nova
#

yeah theres lo no way around it

#

is that or it just crashes from the amount of smols it spawns

unborn quiver
#

Actual vermintide gamemode lmao

vivid light
#

But anyway, I just wanted to throw in a quick comment about the shooting range thing. Neither is most likely not going to happen so I'll just call that discussion on my part at that.

warm temple
#

Do you have to have a mission unlocked in order to join someone elses lobby or can you just join it?

rose nova
#

u can just join it

junior latch
vivid light
#

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that people who care about spoilers will care when you flash a warning about big spoilers in their face.

unborn quiver
#

Yeah I mean that would be their own damn fault if they get spoiled then

#

spoiling content? i can do that: there r sleepers in the complex

@wraith marsh why is hel revolver considered S tier when it does 4 dps less than pistol?

thick temple

classic dj

little ridge
#

He is right

#

Heck, out of the 5 zones before reactor only 3 have enemies

thick temple
#

the speedrun is almost 3 minutes to get there
no chance vast majority of players are getting there in the same amount of time

little ridge
#

Ehhhh depends?

#

Majority maybe not

serene berry
#

its a long empty walk lol

#

although i saw a giant in a couple runs recently lol, didn't think think that could happen

little ridge
#

if 4 vets take 4mins instead of 3, big deal?

#

for speedrunning perhaps, for what he's talking about, I dont think so

serene berry
#

neat

little ridge
#

I think I saw one in like 4-5 times out of the 60+ clear I have on that

Even so

#

He wasn't talking about speedrunning

thick temple
#

Yes

little ridge
#

and 1 minute more ain't going to make his argument correct imho

median rivet
#

Fair point

thick temple
#

in the video currently on src
you guys finish dropping at 1:06
reactor scan pops up 3:44
so 2:38ish
closer to 3 than 2

median rivet
#

Does the run include the drop in time?

#

Like does the timer count that is my question

thick temple
#

for the actual speedrun time? no

median rivet
#

Gotcha

always ask to not be carried and make sure that everyone joinin ur lobby joins ur voice channel

and if you are new be sure to do the tutorial first [Training] and start on rundown 1 since its the simplest one

no fucking way

we probably wont have any warning like last time

#

im excited to wake up to gtfo update like a snow day again

robust gull
#

im not excited

#

because r6 rerelease means they are out of content to promise until r8 drops

wraith marsh

^ ye

light sigil
#

rough robin
jade iron
#

I'm not yet cynical enough to predict r8 cancellation

#

we're talking ~10 new levels, a bunch of text/audio logs and intercom story delivery, maybe a few new enemy types and a few new guns, few to no new features beyond that

#

story-focused, about as difficult/complex as r6/r7-era level design with comparable amount of optionals

wispy bluff
#

I can only pray that there will be a new tileset and hopefuly it will be whatever is under gargantha

#

Maybe even another big man encounter

rough robin
#

that'd be nice. the first actual new content update i'll see in this game

#

the game has to end with a big boss fight right?

#

it would be so morally wrong not to

wispy bluff
#

Either that or some exceptionally insane thunderdome style thing

jade iron
#

I could see this being the first new rundown to not introduce a new tileset (if you don't count r6, which had alpha locations)

rough robin
#

mmm i dunno

#

I definitely think we'll see new areas but they might not be Garganta

wraith marsh
#

surely we go into the meteor right

rough robin
#

we are basically AWOL by the end of rundown 7

i would love a roided up thunderdome

wraith marsh
#

I forgor the lore

wispy bluff
robust gull
#

like r5c2/c3 forget which one, but MASSIVE

wispy bluff
#

They foreshadowed that shit forever

wraith marsh
#

like kds deep

#

we do a bunch of fucked up shit

#

and then open a door into it

wispy bluff
#

And that'll be the cliffhanger for GTFO 2

rough robin
#

now you guys are getting me hyped for r8 and its probably like december

jade iron
rough robin
wispy bluff
#

I mean we still get deployed conventionally during R7E1 which is out first Schaeffer mission

#

So yeah, nothing really changed - its just that objectives are now Schaeffers

rough robin
#

i don't imagine there's many ways to conventionally get around garganta anymore

wispy bluff
#

Yeah, almost everything is locked

jade iron
rough robin
#

or blown apart, so the HSU lift makes sense

wispy bluff
#

There are giant metalic gates in floodways tilesets

#

The ones the cars we find are supposed to go through

#

I guess they have to be opened manually or something

rough robin
#

it would be very cool if r8 ditched the HSU infil, like halfway through

#

and the levels are direct continuations

jade iron
#

I'll grant that gtfo ending on a cliffhanger is very plausible though

#

maybe inevitable by sheer weight of loose ends

wispy bluff
#

Yeah...

#

The ending will probably be just that everyone dies

rough robin
#

nah no way

wispy bluff
#

Schaeffer gets nomed on the comms

#

And then our turn comes

rough robin
#

gotta be a better fate than that

wispy bluff
#

I dont know man, this game's "storytelling" is pretty goddamn unconventional all things considered

rough robin
#

I don't think they'd make Schaeffer and Henrikson into such important characters if the story was going to end so grimly

wraith marsh
#

idrc that much about lore finishing up, I just want some cool shit thats been mentioned in it to be in the game or expanded on

even if schaeffer just knocked him out

he got taken

for an auto especially

analog flicker
#

eh it's whatever

#

was just a random thought

#

bullpup is still overshadowed by other autos unless they buff it for whatever reason

jade iron
#

bullpup's dps and realistic ttk are both fine, as is its damage per mag (assuming it gained a decent reload cancel)

#

it gets a little shortchanged on ammo though

#

main thing holding it back is its reload

#

imo it's in a good place if you give it dmr's reload cancel

okay not quite unrivaled in a literal sense

balmy moat
#

That's mainly the reason why I rated it B

jade iron
#

but combat shotgun hyperfocuses on crowd control at the expense of range

#

veruta is a much more general gun

#

and good players wring a lot of work out of range

if you called hel gun, veruta, combat shotgun your top 3 I wouldn't bat an eyelid

balmy moat
#

I'd probably put it 5/6

#

For secondary weapons

jade iron
balmy moat
#

Would've been even better if ammo duping was a real tech

jade iron
balmy moat
#

Yes

jade iron
#

what are the other 2-3?

balmy moat
#

Choke and shottie

#

Debate between shottie and veruta

jade iron
#

both of those are fair guns balance-wise

#

whereas veruta is clearly overtuned

balmy moat
#

Okay and?

#

I know it's overtuned

rose nova
#

this convo makes no sense

jade iron
#

so you think the B weapon is overtuned but A/S tier weapons are fine?

#

that makes no sense at all

balmy moat
#

Usage

analog flicker
#

Gun is gun pew pew.

jade iron
#

I agree that both pump and choke are the best options in their categories

#

but that doesn't make them auto A or S tiers

balmy moat
#

I said top 5/6

#

On my scale

#

Didn't say it was an "auto A/S tier" on a tier list

jade iron
#

okay, your scale is weird

balmy moat
#

Eh

#

Veruta is a general purpose gun that is overtuned and good at it's job

#

That just about sums it up

#

I'd prefer taking combat over veruta, so if it was a tier list, then it would have to be below combat

#

I do like veruta, so it'd be top 5/6 guns I would use

#

How is it weird

jade iron
#

hm, above you're saying things like "choke is A" and "veruta B"

balmy moat
#

I said veruta B yea

jade iron
#

at face value these are balance proclamations

#

in the context of another "whats the best gun" discussion

balmy moat
#

So argue to me why it would be higher than B tier

jade iron
#

...tiers represent how far above/below some baseline a given option is in capability?

#

so if B would be were a balanced waveclear option is, then veruta ought to be some ways above that

balmy moat
#

If that's what we are going by then my definition of B tier is "good wave clear option"

jade iron
#

meanwhile pump and choke are more-or-less baseline-appropriate options for their roles

#

putting them above that suggests that they are overtuned

balmy moat
#

It doesn't have to suggest that?

#

Generally, you could have an overtuned gun in a game for its respective role and something still could be better than that specific gun

#

So I'm not really following here

#

Choke mod and shottie are not overtuned and it doesn't have to be implied so

jade iron
#

sounds to me like you're not using tiers to represent the power or capability of the weapons in any sense

#

if you told me that your tiers just meant favourite to least favourite, I'd buy it

balmy moat
#

Okay, so then why is there a reason to take veruta over combat, besides range?

jade iron
#

range is a huge reason

balmy moat
#

Let's take it that yes, Veruta is overtuned and should be in A tier

#

I think you have better crowd control and ammo efficiency with combat over Veruta

#

If you play right

wraith marsh
#

the reason is I want to use my main and I cant cuz balancing ammo with combat is too hard cuz it gets too much ammo

jade iron
#

gtfo rewards range in many engagements

balmy moat
#

Combat ammo buff moment

jade iron
#

if you're defending a reactor for example, combat shotgun is sub-par

#

in general when you have larger sightlines and less cover, combat shotgun tends to suffer

balmy moat
#

I could argue the opposite, less cover means combat is a massive clutch

jade iron
#

it's still a nutty special, but the idea that it overshadows veruta is silly

balmy moat
#

Staggering smalls and 1 shotting close enough

#

Some reactors combat still works well

#

I rather use hel gun when it comes to reactors, so I agree combat wouldn't be the best choice

jade iron
balmy moat
#

You can deal with shooters just fine, and dodge exists as well

jade iron
#

shooters, bigs, hybrids, chargers

balmy moat
#

Sure

#

Let's say you're in a team setting then

#

If you have the combat pulled out during a scan, chances are you're frontlining

#

You leave your teammates to deal with shooters

#

Everyone that is experienced in the game will always focus bigs and hybrids already

#

Chargers are basically strikers for the combat

#

You stagger enough to either kill them or get help from your team

#

Veruta would be the "long" distance wave clear in this scenario

#

You wouldn't be frontlining like combat

jade iron
#

veruta carves up all of the enemies mentioned indiscriminately, and allows you to fall back or reposition while firing without caring about impacting your shots

balmy moat
#

Combat allows you to fall back and reposition very well

#

Especially for your team

jade iron
#

no, combat shotgun loses effectiveness 5m+ away from the fight

balmy moat
#

You can almost solo hold a wave with combat no issue

#

Enough time for your team to move

balmy moat
#

At that point you can just kite no weapons needed tbh

#

Sure, combat loses effectiveness with distance

#

So bigs and stuff wouldn't be heavily impacted if farther away

jade iron
#

if you think you're always out of danger when you're 5m+ from a mass of enemies, then I don't know what to tell you

balmy moat
#

I will concede it depends on where you are

#

Location + tile sets help a lot for movement

jade iron
#

just the idea of "oh I'm more than 5m away from the swarm, I don't need to be impacting the mass of enemies at all until they close the gap" just baffles me

balmy moat
#

You can run in a 5m circle and kite

#

Without taking damage

#

If that's possible, then I don't really know what to tell you

#

If you're backed into a corner, you may just be fucked with Veruta

#

But in general you're pretty fucked

#

You fucked yourself by trapping yourself

#

Learned from Jish that movement is important, and yes, it is possible to kite a lot of enemies in a small radius

#

For reference, we can use Jish

rose nova
#

if ur 5 meters close to the enemy and just think 'i am going to die if i dont run' then maybs ur just, a dmr kind of person

balmy moat
#

Jish kited 6 chargers in 5-10m

#

Kiting is important

jade iron
balmy moat
#

It's just harder to do with stamina

#

But doable

rose nova
#

knoife

balmy moat
#

Even if we go back, veruta in 5m range in this case won't be as effective as combat

#

Which you agree

#

So combat would help you relocate in this case better, would it not?

jade iron
#

in my experience, if enough stuff has amassed that you're disengaging and looking to kite, circle kiting isn't going to last long before you get torn down

balmy moat
#

Well, it ain't easy

#

Is it doable? Yes. Is it doable for a long time? If you're skilled

jade iron
#

okay let's say you're low-man or multiple people have gone down in r2d2 wave 9

balmy moat
#

I mean

rose nova
#

thats a very specific situation where yeah distances help dependin on the weapons u have

jade iron
#

so you have multiple hybrids active, possibly bigs, plenty of smalls

balmy moat
#

I would've already brought hel gun or veruta at that point

jade iron
#

but let's focus on the circle kiting bit

rose nova
#

if ur on r2c1 and u woke up a room, do u run away or u kite

#

and its a packed room, but theres 4 people on ur team

balmy moat
#

Doesn't even have to be circle kiting at that point

jade iron
#

when people talk about being able to circle kite for prolonged periods in one room still, I just want to know what kind of scenario they're doing this in and what kind of situation they feel they can recover

#

if you can just keep going forever on wave 9 of r2d2 as last man standing, then maybe this whole debate is pointless because the game is just too broken to make trite things like weapon balance matter

balmy moat
#

Not even just circle kiting

#

Right, you said it yourself

jade iron
#

but I don't know, from what I see of top players, this stuff generally ends runs

balmy moat
#

I said it's entirely dependent on where you are

#

But you have to be able to adapt

#

You need to set yourself up for an advantage

#

And if that's going somewhere else and kiting (not circle kiting), then do so

#

If you are stuck somewhere, maybe circle kiting could help you reduce some number down to be manageable to relocate

#

But that is extremely skill dependent

#

I know someone like Jish has practiced for so long

#

So they could do it

jade iron
balmy moat
#

Well, then, you agree with me

jade iron
#

I'm just trying to get a sense of how much work you think is being done when you talk about circle kiting, because it's basically the most annoying topic in the world

balmy moat
#

A lot of work needs to be done

#

It requires intense skill

#

And it was made harder with stamina

jade iron
#

I didn't bring up the r2d2 example because I think r2d2 is some hard level btw, I've duo'd it

balmy moat
#

I'm not complaining, since I'm an R6 baby, but I do know pre R6 circle kiting was a joke

#

It was easy to do

jade iron
#

I mainly just picked out an example of a place with messy wave contents where being last-man is a deteriorating situation

#

imo being able to create and maintain distance as you gradually work on cutting down a mass of enemies is a strength that range gives you

balmy moat
jade iron
#

your response seemed to amount to "lol you can do that with combat shotgun, just circle kite and start shooting later"

balmy moat
#

That's why I think it's a slightly bad example

#

If anything, if you had combat, you would already start kiting

#

And you wouldn't shoot until close

#

You could crowd control to a place back or be able to kill enough

#

Circle kiting? Different story

#

Also, in my opinion, keeping a group congregated is good for kiting

#

You don't want them to flank you

#

So combat would be my bring for a scenario like that

rose nova
#

i think guns n melee are two way different approaches entirely depending on ur skill, ur weapons and melee picks, the situation, room, level and style of playin

jade iron
balmy moat
#

Not really much disagreement there

#

It's a tough spot to be in already regardless of anything else

#

I mean, if it were me, I'd try to get off a rez obviously

#

I rather have my primary or combat cause shoot rez

#

You ain't controlling the Veruta while rezzing

#

Either way, still fucked scenario

jade iron
#

anyway, tbh this whole diversion into kiting feels like it isn't really going anywhere

#

we have disagreements about how much range matters on a waveclear gun

#

none of this stuff about kiting ended up illuminating much

balmy moat
#

I mean

#

It will be different

#

If you bring veruta, chances are you ain't really kiting with it

#

Nor would you be frontlining

#

Range would be different yea

#

But you can say that you can wave clear with combat just as easily + have wave control capability

rose nova
#

ah yess kite and hit the enemies with the back of the machinegun

jade iron
#

lol, I've been duoing almost constantly for probably a year now

#

the idea of a "frontlining" role is alien to me

#

as in yes some loadouts are more frontline than others

#

but loadouts tend to be more generalist than that

#

which is part of why I think you underrate veruta

#

it plays so much out of its lane

#

for a weapon that's still so dirty in its lane

balmy moat
#

If enemies encroach on you I think you're gonna have a harder time

jade iron
#

...no?

balmy moat
#

Good weapon tho

jade iron
#

I've duo'd r2e1 with mg's

#

veruta is very good up close

balmy moat
#

You will have a significantly harder time if you have an entire wave in fron to fyou

#

It's got good stagger

#

But you will take more damage than having combat

#

(You have less crowd control)

jade iron
#

if "significantly more" means "often zero", then...

balmy moat
#

Solo hold it

#

Without moving

#

I believe you can take no damage

#

I fully believe that

#

I've done it

jade iron
#

again I grant you that combat shotgun is the better up-close wave hold gun

balmy moat
#

But situational wise like that? Combat is going to be an easier time

jade iron
#

but there's just so much more to waveclear than up-close

balmy moat
#

I mean, up close is what you really want it

jade iron
#

and veruta doesn't generally have a hard time up close

balmy moat
#

Faster clearing most of the time

#

And for teammates you aren't going to be wasting ammo missing longer range targets

#

Veruta got good stagger, so yea it shouldn't have a hard time up close, but combat does better in that scenario

jade iron
#

again it seems like you treat up close as the be all and end all of waveclear, and I disagree

#

I think you'll find a lot of strong players disagree as well

balmy moat
#

Your perception of me might be incorrect

#

After all, I did specify close range

jade iron
#

well your idea that combat shotgun is in A, and veruta is worse than combat shotgun at combat shotgun's job, therefore it goes in B, was very strange

balmy moat
#

For every run I have done, I have found combat to be > veruta

#

Especially running into rooms, pulling large amounts, and pulling alarms

#

Then clearing quickly

jade iron
#

maybe it's speedrun mentality vs duos mentality

balmy moat
#

Even in duos Jish and I we bring a combat half the time

#

I brought shottie in R5

#

Veruta didn't exist tho

#

If I'm not mistaken

#

I don't remember

jade iron
#

hm, beth and beep aren't fans of combat shotty

balmy moat
#

Peter and Robert brough shottie in R4E1 duo

#

I would too, not combat

jade iron
#

very very different gun

balmy moat
#

I would also choose other weapons over combat in different levels

#

Bad example? Maybe

#

But proving last point, yes

jade iron
#

I've brought pump a lot lately in r5 duos

balmy moat
#

Good weapon

junior latch
# balmy moat Even if we go back, veruta in 5m range in this case won't be as effective as com...

in exchange it can fight at higher ranges that combat cant. I do rate combat slightly higher than veruta, but putting veruta B is wack as hell void

The only way that even remotely works is if B is already very good or you compare the whole list to stuff like r4 hel revo/burst cannon. Since an S tier burst cannon is far above R7 S tier veruta or current S tier guns

But as you said that shotgun should be A/above it that makes little sense since shotgun is way more balanced as a gun in gtfo terms

Warden gains full control over complex after R8
Opens all doors and enables all lights in the entire facility
Re-enable elevators
Triggers every alarm
Deploy every prisoner and KSO with as much ammo as possible
