#

Not forced. That was normal to him.

#

Science first and all that.

latent palm
#

He is LITERALLY the one who created this

sharp owl
#

how

#

that seems wrong

wispy bluff
#

Debatable, no confirmation on that.

sharp owl
#

namv and parasite existed beforehand

latent palm
pastel aurora
#

Fitting honestly. Poetic. Having to go down into the Complex to see his creations again and again with no idea who made them.

sharp owl
#

how did he make anything

true pilot
latent palm
wispy bluff
#

But alt Dauda was pretty, how can I put this... A doomer?

sharp owl
#

ok, and

wispy bluff
#

He was just done with it.

true pilot
#

so when all went to hell he was partly in fault

latent palm
#

Almost didn’t even make it

#

If it weren’t for the team still waiting for more pods to bring back

true pilot
#

and the fact woods didnt shoot him

latent palm
#

If not he was very much doomed

latent palm
sharp owl
#

schaeffer has no right being alive

latent palm
#

KDS deep protocol needed much resources

#

And the objectives was simple

#

Go in

#

Extract as many as u can

#

gTFO

outer lantern
#

Schaffer seems like an idiot, from the like 4 missions I’ve played that he was in

latent palm
#

He is like us

#

But he questions himself

#

And where we stand in this

#

“Are you here to kill me? Are you here to survive as well?”

#

OG R6A1

true pilot
#

Well ALT schafer is also diffrent from og

latent palm
#

Yes

true pilot
#

alt can seem a bit.. dumber

latent palm
#

Schaffer has literally

true pilot
#

but og schafer is/was a chad

latent palm
#

Break 2 tanks ankles

wispy bluff
latent palm
#

And pablos ankles as well

sharp owl
#

does the warden bot do anything

wispy bluff
#

He even was promoted higher too.

latent palm
wispy bluff
#

Had his own projects going on.

sharp owl
#

what

outer lantern
#

Warden bot is auto mod iirc

true pilot
wispy bluff
#

Nope.

true pilot
#

and still i mean ingame

#

and not before the fall

latent palm
#

Tell me

true pilot
#

he can have a vibe of being a bit stupid

latent palm
#

Can you escape a tank

#

Or even more so

#

Pablo

outer lantern
#

Who is Pablo

latent palm
#

While recording

#

A audio log

latent palm
outer lantern
#

is his name being Pablo canon

#

if yes I love that

latent palm
#

Which is darker and gray in color

latent palm
#

Lore no

#

It is a funni name we gave hime

thick temple
#

wait game files?

latent palm
#

Cause if you shoot him he goes after you very menacingly

outer lantern
#

le datamining has arrived

latent palm
thick temple
#

in what file is it referred to as pablo

latent palm
#

Was just pokin on data mining

#

But you get the idea

#

Skinny lookin ass guy

#

But he got the jays

#

Creased a tanks J’S

#

Stepped on Pablo’s Jordans

#

Chad Schaffer

#

Btw @pastel aurora

#

If you have more questions

#

About the more indepth stuff

#

And ask Frostty

pastel aurora
#

Okie

latent palm
#

And im serious

#

ALWAYS

#

ask Frostty

pastel aurora
#

It went from "why did no one decide to drop a nuke into the Complex" to "Data mining".

latent palm
#

Is a different word

#

We use that term to dig in game files

pastel aurora
#

I know what it is.

latent palm
#

Not game theory or sumthig like rhat

#

But yes

#

A weapon on a scale

#

Of a nuke

#

Was deployed to the underground

quartz cape
#

she is a hater

latent palm
#

Hence why you are dropping from a giant tube like run way

latent palm
pastel aurora
#

Dude. I wanted to get the OST of the game but couldn't find it online. So I went data mining. Couldn't access jack.

#

Big sad.

pastel aurora
#

The original soundtrack. The score.

quartz cape
#

thats your best bet

latent palm
#

Lol

sharp owl
#

did r1 not have logs

#

why does the wiki not have them

quartz cape
rose nova
#

if u wanna search for the ones on the alt, search for ALT://Rundown 1

#

then the log page should appear

latent palm

#

I just beat r6d1 with my friend (and 2 bots)

#

was awesome level

rose nova
#

eyy nice :]

hollow kiln
#

Guys can anyone help me with gtfo? my friend cannot reconnect to my game after she got dc, what can she do to rejoin>

wispy bluff
hollow kiln
#

I kept clicking the copy lobby id but could not paste it anywhere

wispy bluff
#

Session time?

#

After a long enough play time the game lobby dies and doesn't work anymore

#

An hour+, something like that.

rose nova
#

also the code doesnt need to be pasted

#

u just copy it, go into the game and under TRAINING u can see the button to join

#

if, it is still there

#

i guess

hollow kiln
#

Session time is 50:43

lavish jay
hollow kiln
#

My game is still on going my friend wants to rejoin 😦

wispy bluff
#

Hmm

#

When you press ESC do you see buttons for playerts lots?

#

"Players only"
"bots and players"
etc?

hollow kiln
#

Yes i can see player only where my friend used to be

#

It's empty

wispy bluff
#

Hm

#

The lobby is still alive

#

Okay, try once again going to settings, smash that COPY LOBBY button and try pasting it here

#

(dont actually send the message)

#

Do it with CTRL+V if possible

hollow kiln
#

i tried smashing it. still cannot paste it 😦

wispy bluff
#

Weird shit. It appears you got GTFO'd.

#

Okay...

#

Try setting all players slots to LOCKED

hollow kiln
#

please dont give up on me yet 😦

wispy bluff
#

Then back to PLAYERS ONLY

#

Or at least one of them

hollow kiln
#

done

wispy bluff
#

Back to settings, copy lobby

hollow kiln
#

still nothing 😦

wispy bluff
#

Ripperony

hollow kiln
#

what does the code usually look like?

wispy bluff
#

93549367439563

#

Many numbers

burnt flume
#

How are you playing the game?

#

And no, just check any lfg channel for what the code normally looks like

#

The first half of it or whatever is always the same

hollow kiln
#

we're playing through steam 😦

wispy bluff
#

109775242464~ it worked for me

hollow kiln
#

It was a long cold and bloody night, we were in a midst of a horde of monsters. Sentries firing everywhere. then when the smoke settled...she was gone 😦

burnt flume
#

Honestly, try restarting both your games if you haven't

wispy bluff
#

Me thinks you truly got GTFO'd, you have to restart the mission

burnt flume
#

That's always the first thing to try

hollow kiln
#

Won't I lose all my progress if I do that 😦 we're hoping to salvage what's left in our game 😦

wispy bluff
#

They're mid mission

#

What mission is it?

burnt flume
#

Ah yeah if you're mid mission then rip

hollow kiln
#

we

burnt flume
#

Lobbies get fucked sometimes

hollow kiln
#

we're on our second mission 😦

#

we just started today 😦

wispy bluff
#

R1B1?

hollow kiln
#

Yupe

wispy bluff
#

Not too big a loss, could be worse missions for that to happen. I'm really sorry, but its just how this game rolls sometimes. I honestly have no idea why your button would stop working.

#

IMHO the fact that you can't copy it and the fact that your friend got kicked out might be correlated

#

And just in case: do restart the games anyway

#

GTFO has some problems with long gaming sessions. Memory leak or something, i don't know... But its advisible to restart the game after every expedition, just in case.

hollow kiln
#

I heard you can configure the game to have check points

#

how do I do that?

wispy bluff
#

Not really

#

Its a long ass story

#

But they're a feature from Rundown 6 and onwards

wicked solstice
#

that’s a mod, which isn’t allowed here

wispy bluff
#

Rundowns 1-through-5 don't have them

wicked solstice
#

Well

hollow kiln
#

Oh crap

wispy bluff
#

Oh?

hollow kiln
#

sorry 😦

wicked solstice
#

From R6-7, they’re fine

#

No ur good

wispy bluff
#

Neat to know i guess, especially if you just play as 2

hollow kiln
#

O

#

we're only playing as a pair 🙂

wicked solstice
#

But you said “configure to have checkpoints,” so I took that as modding

wispy bluff
#

Friendly reminder that the game is balanced around 4 players and does not adjust difficulty for reduced squads, unless you install some mods for it.

#

R1C1 is gonna be a wake up call.

hollow kiln
#

I have faith 🙂

wicked solstice
#

Basically though, as long as you aren’t using non-QoL mods in the game while playing in this server’s vc’s

#

You are fine

hollow kiln
#

We're not a fan of mods too don't worry 🙂 I wanna play the game as fair as possible 🙂

wicked solstice
# hollow kiln sorry 😦

Don’t worry about it, just a question and no harm in asking. You’re fine using checkpoints here as long as you aren’t modifying the game to add them where they’re not

wicked solstice
#

There’s a modding server if you’re interested

gray pilot
wicked solstice
#

-_-

hollow kiln
#

Nah I'm not really a fan of mods, haha it's a a double edged thing, usually it turns your computer's brain into a soup if too much is done 😄 hahaha

gray pilot
#

I’ll take it as a maybe

wicked solstice
#

ah yes, QoL

lavish jay
#

tbf given the problems checkpoints can cause at the best of times, adding more of them in new locations sounds like it's just asking for trouble

wicked solstice
#

i love seeing people say that running with heavy items and having 200% health is “QoL”

#

it’s the funniest shit

gray pilot
#

Never run into these

hollow kiln
#

where's the fun in that if you can't enjoy the game in its prime 😄

wicked solstice
#

exaaactly

lavish jay
wicked solstice
#

Especially with GTFO, where you’re beating levels primarily to achieve beating the levels

wicked solstice
hollow kiln
#

Exactly. Maybe yeah do mods on a room you've already cleared just for the sake of it 😄 but I guess not gonna do it unless I finish the whole dang thing 😄

wispy bluff
wicked solstice
#

And when I say I play with mods btw, I mean I play custom levels, not use cheats lol

hollow kiln
#

we kept bots, we need meat shields after all 😄 hahaha

wicked solstice
#

bots are good meat shields

hollow kiln
#

yupe and sentry mules 😄 haha

lavish jay
#

Bots are probably canon KSOs

wispy bluff
#

Oh good.

#

Give Bishop biotracker, immediately

hollow kiln
#

i'll update you guys if we finish the whole game with just us two and a couple of meat shields haha

wispy bluff
#

And never give them cfoam launcher, if you can help it

hollow kiln
#

nah, i'm good with the free cfoams in the game haha

lavish jay
#

(tbf I'm a fan of Hackett's biotracker complaints)

hollow kiln
#

I'm a fan of hackett in general 😄 haha

lavish jay
#

Give Hackett the biotracker

hollow kiln
#

that dude threw his life for me, literally

modern coral
#

@jade iron You guys done every level yet, actually?

lavish jay
#

Free Hackett ASMR

I think most duos don't, but I don't actually know.

#

R4C3 Cuernos

hollow kiln
#

well...sadly I couldn't find another person to watch my back that's why I was left with only one partner in the game 😄 hahaha (besides the two meatheads)

wispy bluff
#

R4 C3 prisonerefficiency
🤮

wicked solstice
#

:3

hollow kiln
#

I'm not saying that I trust my partner to watch my back, I just know at least the one damaging me is her 😄 hahahahaha

wicked solstice
#

I gave Artek flashbacks lol

wispy bluff
#

Oh, and another hint for the bots: never give them anything that deals a lot of per bullet damage.
Various assault rifles and LMGs are best choice for them.
Unless you really like getting killed by them at random moments

wicked solstice
#

I can do that to two people, trigger them by listing a single level name

modern coral
#

Damage per bullet doesn't matter that much imo.

#

Bot friendly fire seemed surprisingly tame to me.

wicked solstice
#

It matters with like shotguns

hollow kiln
#

plus I prefer to play the game with a beginner like myself not someone who already finished the whole game 😄 haha at least we'll both explore the game as a new discovery 😄

lavish jay
wispy bluff
#

Well, and you also don't want to watch Hackett take a Choke Mod blast to a sleeper right in front of him and fucking miss

wicked solstice
#

Or have one of you take bio

modern coral
#

That's RoF, though.

#

Like, they suck with Revo too.

wicked solstice
#

Because you don’t want bots on bio with surges

hollow kiln
wicked solstice
#

I give em burst rifle and veruta

wicked solstice
#

Bc they burst cancel

wispy bluff
hollow kiln
#

I didn't expect this to be a very lively community 😄 haha

merry sluice
#

It very welcoming. I enjoy it.

wispy bluff
#

Its same 5 people every day, don't worry

hollow kiln
#

I might come and visit this place from time to time 🙂

lavish jay
#

with surprisingly frequent mass debates about somewhat inconsequential things 🙏

hollow kiln
#

Where's the fun without heated argument and a bag of popcorns to boot 😄

wispy bluff
modern coral
#

One of those "this used to be stronger?" weapons.

hollow kiln
#

I do believe those that the preference of each is what makes the weapon stronger instead of just saying one specific weapon is the best. In a hands of an amateur, the most deadly weapon is just a paper weight, ain't it?

lavish jay
#

and then there's the HEL autopistol

modern coral
#

It does depend where you're at on the skill curve, but if you're far enough along it can make the most sense to invest time into learning the strongest weapons for the patch.

#

For newer players, the main issue is just combat fundamentals and lacking competence in general.

wispy bluff
#

Spear and Bullpup used to be complete memes until 2 weeks ago

hollow kiln
#

I bet a lot of stuff has been through HEL every patch haha

wispy bluff
#

shakes hand

#

PDW was born a god

modern coral
#

I'm not sure if you understand that abbreviation, but that is actually pretty spot on.

hollow kiln
#

and is now as mortal man? haha

wispy bluff
#

More like one of those house demons that can still curse your entire family blood line

#

Could be worse. But do continue feeding it cookies unless you don't like your children.

lavish jay
hollow kiln
#

as they say, "What's the worst thing that can happen?" haha

modern coral
lavish jay
#

true

modern coral
#

Mega-OP weapons, slapping HEL onto random guns to make them "good," etc.

hollow kiln
#

I feel like a lot of you here really needs a hug, seems like you guys have been through HEL and back 😄

wispy bluff
#

AoE wins, every time. Simple as.

#

Warframe has this issue to this day

#

Why bother with aiming an assault rifle when you can just shoot rockets everywhere like a Katyusha

hollow kiln

oh let's not get into warframe now, shall we 😄

A run with bots should just be called a run with the Three Stooges honestly.

jade iron
#

and most of alt r6, but we duo'd the OG so it's not really a priority

#

still to do:
r4: c3 d1 d2 e1
r5: c2 c3 d1 d2 e1

burnt flume
#

r4e1, boy oh boy

jade iron
#

we had r4c3pe just about done but then r5 dropped and that took priority

#

more recently we had r5c2pe worked out (several runs past arena but choked in reactor, etc) but then r6 dropped and ahto wanted to do runs of r6c3

#

work and other stuff irl has ramped up for us in the last few months so we haven't been able to put in the reps, and have a fair bit of cold running skill issue to work off when we put in attempts

jade iron
sharp siren
#

you wish r8 its a couple of months from now

#

late 2024

jade iron
#

either way

#

we still have stuff to keep us occupied

burnt flume
#

i guess there is a point to playing through r8

#

don't see much point in alt 5 or 6

jade iron
#

I've enjoyed both so far

#

also it's good to have them both in the current vanilla build

burnt flume
#

I guess

#

it's there if you want it but I don't have any motivation to play them

jade iron
#

I think some of the "they nerfed it now it's bad" stuff is a bit overblown

#

and some of it is legit for sure

burnt flume
#

my opinion is that it's lame to nerf the levels

jade iron
#

r5c2ov arena for example, tbh I think the snatchers are more of a complication duo than another boring double tank fight

burnt flume
#

yeah snatcher perhaps can give a more interesting outcome

#

but it's also like, 5x easier to kill

jade iron
#

snatchers can be this random touch of death that comes along when you're not looking in the right direction

#

"okay you dropped me on a bbc, rip me I guess"

#

"hang on why the hell am I getting punched in the void"

#

I guess I'm just over double tank fights in general

jade iron
# hollow kiln we're only playing as a pair 🙂

if you're interested in ditching the meat shields eventually (or find that they're somehow ineffective or whatever), I think probably the best advice I can give you is to solo some A/B tier levels (without bots)

#

probably the thing that made our duos work was that we were both reasonably competent solo players

#

not gods, we hadn't solo'd entire rundowns or whatever

#

but each of us alone could hold a reasonable alarm in an A or B level solo without much issue

#

it meant we each came in reasonably competent in gunplay, movement, had a reasonable foundation of game knowledge, etc

thick temple
# jade iron also it's good to have them both in the current vanilla build

this is the biggest thing for me by far personally, with the current state of the game
sure, i could have played them before with some shenanigans, but having everything available from the get-go is just so much better to me
nerfs are whatever to me since i haven't played the originals and everything feels hard enough anyway to me

jade iron
#

once we were competent players individually, we were able to work out how to break up tasks into roles, team cohesion, etc.

#

off the top of my head, stuff like r6b1, r5a2, r4a2, r1a1, r3a1, probably a bunch of r2 b levels, will get you up to scratch if you drop into them solo with a burst sentry and grind the alarms

jade iron
#

people like to meme about the guns being powercrept to death, as though r4 bc or r6 sniper didn't exist or whatever

thick temple
#

5pen hel revo

jade iron
#

you could argue the mains have been crept (though r4 hel revo says hi), but I think I prefer today's balance where a broader range of guns are good

#

actually I think maybe the only real sin of current vanilla balance is probably veruta

#

the hel specials are in a weird place and imo probably still too good

wraith marsh
#

combat shotgun:

jade iron
#

yeah that too

#

though it's checked a bit by range imo

#

still none of these specials are as cracked as the peak op specials

#

they're just generic guns with stats that are overtuned by some measure

#

they do warp the game a fair bit, but they don't bust game balance in half

grim leaf
#

im new to gtfo and would like to know what the general opinion is on playing with others without joining their discord vc?

jade iron
#

I don't play pubs, but imo the expectation would be that you'll still communicate, at least via in-game text chat

grim leaf
#

is that viable for the most part?

jade iron
#

yeah people use it

thick temple
#

if i've heard in the past right, they'll always want you to at least join the vc, but if you don't want to talk that's still fine

#

just put, like, "no mic" in your disc nickname or smth

vestal crystal
#

If you don't join the vc channel then people keep hopping in thinking the lobby is not full

grim leaf
#

im fine with joining vc, its just im usually in another vc while i play, chatting with other friends who are doing their own thing

vestal crystal
#

Unless they move to a 3 person channel

jade iron
#

it's a game where you'll typically need to plan and coordinate with other people in order to overcome challenges

#

I've seen people try to treat it like an idle podcast game or whatever where they fire at enemies and don't pay too much attention to what's going on or whatever, which doesn't gel well with the demands the game places on you

hollow merlin
#

drg might be a similar game where you can go no-mic and still cooperate well with the team
otherwise, yeah, you'll want to have a mic unless you're fine learning the in-game communication presets or solo carrying

grizzled bison
#

verified proof that the person with (no mic) in their username is the solo carry

jade iron
#

yeah but also in the ingame chat,

#

solo carry (no mic): GET IN THE FUCKING SCAN

grizzled bison
#

Their username is also something like Tsopu

ax is like yeah c1 or so, bx is c3 or so just main
cx is a d tier

normal lake
#

all i got left in r6 is bx, cx, d2, and d3

#

not really sure what order to approach these in other than d3 dead last

rose nova
#

u can probs do bx rn

#

and do cx, i guess after the ds?

normal lake
#

mind you ive done all alternative objectives on the levels not mentioned above

#

im prob gonna save d3 for last cus the pe is prob gonna be rough

outer lantern
#

Ok what are the X levels

#

or is that just meaning the entire tier

I think og r3b2 solo killed him friend

vernal nebula
#

Just lost R1B2 at 98% extraction because the bot died lmfao

sharp siren
#

I really doubt the bot kill the run

#

Have you tried killing the wave before you head to extraction

#

Works 99% of the time!

vernal nebula
#

We were stopping inbetween waves, the bot went down a few feet from the extraction zone. Revived it once and it immediately went down again

sharp siren
#

Bots dont enter extraction scans

#

Its a bug since forever

vernal nebula
#

Good to know

sharp siren
#

If your dping something that doesnt require a teamscan

#

Then never worry about the bots survivability

vernal nebula
#

I've cleared the expedition myself anyways so not a huge issue

sharp siren

#

Hello!
Just got the game and beaten the tutorial and the very first rundown "The Admin".

#

How viable is the game solo with bots?

glass wharf
#

Depends on the level

frosty aspen
#

I know further rundowns are gonna get harder, so I'm wondering if I can still make it with bots only

#

Or should I search for a constant party?

vernal nebula
#

constant party is always preferable

gusty burrow
#

Beating some levels with bots only is pretty unfeasible, some levels heavily rely on the players splitting up and clearing different parts of the map at the same time

vernal nebula
#

I've heard most folks say at least 2 human players and 2 bots should be enough for most of the rundown 1 missions

#

more is always better of course

glass wharf
#

Yea that sounds accurate

#

All of R2 is pretty much impossible solo though

frosty aspen
#

Thank you for the info. I'll consider making some friends then ^^

vernal nebula
#

#lfg-beginners has been really easy for me so far as a new player as well. I'm sure you'll find some luck there

gusty burrow
sharp siren
#

2 player 2 bot its good for 99.9 of rhe levels

#

Aside from r7e1

#

Once you get the basics down and undertand some of thr mechanics youll be good to go

#

Solo not advisable

vernal nebula

#

Only stupid people play woth bots only

#

Not azert tho

How'd u do R2D1

sharp siren
#

Game its better with people

#

Its a coop game

frosty aspen
#

Gotcha. Thanks!

#

The bots keep swapping out fogs for lock melters

sharp owl
#

I forgot bout that

#

Rip

rough robin
#

Any inf. fog-centered level

glass wharf
#

Idk why even

#

Fogs are always just better pickups

#

Having them prioritize locks over fogs seems like a strange choice to me

sharp owl
#

Devs made bots pick lock melters a high priority so good luck getting them to pick up anything that isn't a foam nade

sharp owl
rough robin
sharp siren
#

I was gonna go on a rant on why they prioritize it

#

But i forgot i already did

pine root
sharp siren
#

Nah bish

pine root
#

loop gtfo chat

#

one more time

sharp siren
#

So heavy smg

#

😭😭😭

#

So kiting its a way to cover the personal skill issue some players had

sharp owl
#

One more time 🎵🎶

sharp siren
#

So checkpoints should be limited

normal lake
#

but when they have lock melters they use them automatically

#

so i personally prefer it this way

#

Would be nice to have a way to set prefered bot pickups to set them up to your own preference

glass wharf
#

I don't 😭

sharp siren
#

You change like 20 profiles

glass wharf
#

In a perfect world they would pick up what you ping

I don't trust bishop to not put a couple in my head "by accident" so I line them up in front of me at all times :^)

rough robin
normal lake
#

i run into that issue almost every session i have using bots

glass wharf
#

Comparable with the amount of times I shot the bots because for some reason they decide to sprint in and out of my cone of fire during waves

sharp owl
glass wharf
#

🤨

#

Idk if this is a meme or serious

sharp owl
#

Actually serious

normal lake
#

I need a mod that makes bots not necessary for a team scan

#

r6d1 we literally kicked the bot for the class 6 because it was easier without it

#

only reason we had to use a checkpoint on that level was bot insisting standing in squad scan wasnt necessary

normal lake
glass wharf
#

I thought r8 was gonna be the last rundown

#

10 chambers already swapped to working on that other game?

normal lake
#

it is the last rundown

#

in fairness they have been rereleasing old content with tiny modifcations for literally a year and a half

#

its been plenty of time for development on r8

#

even with such small focus

rough robin
#

feel like most of their devs are on cyber heist

sharp owl
#

Payday 3 with extra steps

rough robin
#

that's what we need

normal lake
# sharp owl Payday 3 with extra steps

all i know is ima be sad once im at the point where there is no more content for me to do in gtfo and i dont have a really fucking fun co op game to play

rough robin
#

another heist game 😎

rough robin
#

more replayability

#

add some insane ass challenges that would keep even a top tier team struggling

normal lake
#

once im done with most of the main levels and alt objectives ima be done with the game

#

to me this game doesnt have the replay value for something like that cus the blind experience is the best experience

rough robin
#

oh then yeah that's tougher

#

modded rundowns is about it

#

some of those are good, some are absolutely batshit like fatal experiment 2

normal lake
#

honestly modded rundowns generally are to hard for me

#

I dont really enjoy anything harder than high d tier

#

eventually it feels more like a slog to get through rather than fun and thats about where the difficulty peaks in fun for me

glass wharf
#

Need an infinite dungeon

modest spoke
#

agree to disagree
I haven't run old rundowns via modding but I remember how hilariously hard r6c1 was

glass wharf
#

Would be fun for a bit

normal lake
#

Difficulty and fun for me is kinda a bell curve closer to lower tier levels than higher

modest spoke
#

they kinda nerfed it Really hard

normal lake
#

you can fuck around and have more fun with A-B tier

#

C tier you gotta play pretty decently but its still fun to fuck around most of the time

#

easier d tier levels you start lose that fucking around part of the fun

glass wharf
#

I have fun when there's a giant I get to use my sniper on

normal lake
#

e tier levels there is no fucking around, there is no fun, there is only suffering

rough robin
#

i wanna play old rundowns at some point to see if the "they nerfed this so hard" is real or just bs from people who weren't as experienced back then

modest spoke

Cause me and a friend wiped the lower R1 levels pretty quickly

With singleplayer I genuinely love difficult games

rough robin

E tiers are supposed to be everything the game can throw at you and the kitchen sink

modest spoke
#

no offence but difficult is literally on the front page

rough robin
normal lake
#

I am talking modded rundowns

#

i dont wanna bother going into mods because im not interested in upping the difficulty

#

just not my personal idea of enjoying the game at that point

sharp owl
modest spoke
normal lake
#

quite goofy

thick temple
#

not every rundown mod is pure difficulty spike
the duo ones i've played personally generally have a pretty-close-to-vanilla difficulty progression

thick temple
#

some people out there really are there just making cool experiences, not cbt

normal lake
modest spoke
normal lake
#

I dont really enjoy easier levels C and D tier is the shit

#

creme de la creme

rough robin
#

personally E tiers are really fun for me they're like a puzzle in themselves

#

KDS Deep being absolutely cream of the crop E-tier mission

modest spoke
#

which reminds me I need somebody to help my ass with those lol
you NEED people who actually know how to play this game and it's "co-op fun"

normal lake
#

its just a bit to much for me to dick around with

modest spoke
#

if you have average brainlets the game doesn't stay fun because you're all stupid and keep setting off the rooms and just ending up dying from general dumbassery

normal lake
#

Like i cant blast my friend as he gets to extract late on an e tier level while proudly saying "long live the king" and then expect to not regret that

modest spoke
#

you need the big smort and three others with that to keep it fun

rough robin
#

and maybe R4E1 too if you're...risking a little more

normal lake
#

If i ever got into mods it would def be with a mod improving bots significantly and would just be done mostly as duo with a friend

rough robin
#

there is a mod that improves bots but it makes them grossly good

modest spoke
normal lake
#

For me vanilla bots just need to have some tweaks like no ff, and something to make them stand in squad scans

raw shard
#

If you wanna balance bots you'd have to let them also be able to wake stuff but there's clearly a problem with that too so there's just no good way to make them better lol

normal lake
#

Just minor fucking annoyances like that

rough robin
raw shard
#

They just kinda suck and you have to deal with it

rough robin

Bots being to good aint what i want either

rough robin

#

Bitch pls

modest spoke
#

apparently the devs are "ok" (don't want anything to do with but don't smack ban people about it) with mods, but the seniors in this game do

normal lake
#

i just want something that slightly improves them in the points where they suck ass

rough robin
#

no way dude

#

better bots is ridiculous

sharp siren
#

Just because your not used to having something work doesnt mean its broken

rough robin
#

literally sitting on my phone for class 6's on r5 while they mow down everything

sharp owl
#

Absolutely

sharp siren
#

Your used to their shitty bad programming

glass wharf
#

What does that mod do

rough robin
#

the programming fixes is good i just think the mod cranks their accuracy/aggression too high

sharp siren
#

Look at vermintide

#

Theyre like decent players

rough robin
#

I LOVE that mod's aspects like better bots will actually back off of dangerous revives

sharp siren
#

Nobody say theyre a cheat

sharp owl
rough robin
#

with that mod

raw shard
#

Bots can do it silently lol

sharp siren
rough robin
#

they genuinely have like a 95% accuracy rate on the head

raw shard
#

They just took all the silencers

sharp siren
#

Pretty on par

#

But even then they die on harder levels

rough robin
#

idk man i think bots should be good but not absolutely cracked out, able to carry players through levels they're clearly not able to beat normally

normal lake
#

Imo bots shouldnt be able to do stealth but also shouldnt wake rooms, the state they are in currently for alarms is good enough as they dont have a problem with fog or darkness

sharp siren
#

Ttheyre not inmune to gtfo mechanics

sharp owl
#

Yeah doesnt mean they are too good
They still are motionless AI

normal lake
#

I really just cannot stand doing any alarm with a squad scan with them because they are fucking liabilities

#

that is my only major issue with bots

glass wharf
#

I mean

#

Does all the mod do is make them accurate?

normal lake
#

ive lost more runs then i can count to bots not standing in squad scans

raw shard
#

No it allows them to do stealth killing and just clear rooms for free

rough robin
glass wharf
#

Cause if it fixes their bioscan bug then it's probably not too hard to just isolate that behavior

sharp siren
#

Theire not agressive

sharp owl
glass wharf
#

And make it a separate mod

sharp siren
#

Theyre just not suicidal

normal lake
sharp siren
#

Withr melee

#

Like

#

Wtf

raw shard
#

Because people are lazy ig lol

rough robin
#

that's a good change but I def feel like better bots don't have the odd pauses regular bots do

sharp siren
#

Vanilla.bots are equally as accurate

rough robin
#

even when enemies are rushing them

sharp siren
#

I wish i wasnt at work

#

explain to me

I woulda school yo ass

sharp owl

#

Does preloading do anything

normal lake
#

I agree there are some other minor issues with bots like them pulling out melee when something gets close

sharp owl
#

Opinionated

normal lake
#

but i dont think they need seriouus changes beyond making them a little less stupid

sharp owl
rough robin
#

fix all their dumbass logic and bots would instantly be way more viable

raw shard

#

more intelligent sure but not more accurate

Eg
R6d3 main door scan after ovl error
You open door faster

glass wharf
#

Have you seen the vanilla bot aim

sharp siren
#

My man

glass wharf
#

A silver 1 from csgo could do it better

sharp siren
#

Im literally the bot guide

thick temple
#

i'm sure no one cares but
imo the biggest issue with better bots is using them and not distinguishing that you use them when doing 1p3b runs
get an easier run and not distinguish that
like having boosters

pine root
#

less than a wave diffrent

normal lake
#

I dont care if bots get better man i just want them to not be buggy as shit

#

they are substitutes for players

#

not players

sharp owl
rough robin
#

but today is not that day

thick temple
#

yeah imo if there was a mod that made them actually consistent at standing in scans then bless that thing

glass wharf
#

Sometimes they get plot armor I swear

raw shard
#

I think all that really needs to change about current bots is them standing in scans lmao

#

they're fine otherwise imo

glass wharf
#

Giant would be smacking me on the ground instead of killing the bot that's reviving me

raw shard
#

Though I never really use them so what do I know

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

rough robin
#

at least you can disable them for that but you shouldn't have to

sharp owl
normal lake
#

Losing runs to shit out of your control completely ruins the fun of the game for me

#

me and my friend stopped doing duos because of that exact reason

sharp siren
#

Sadly scans bug its not fixable unless we get mono

raw shard
#

I feel like bots probably shouldn't have FF either lmao

#

they just blast the shit out of you when they feel like it

sharp siren
#

Its mot like they feel like

#

Its just like sentries

normal lake
#

I can handle ff because unless you give them high power weapons its mostly chip damage its still frustrating tho

rough robin
#

i have so many clips of me sitting still on a reactor and the bots post up right behind me to start shooting

sharp siren
#

They target aqquisition then start shooting

raw shard
#

Yeah but sentries don't randomly walk behind you and blast a scattergun

sharp siren
#

Yeah because bots are sentries that move

#

They literally have the same AI

normal lake
#

ive shot my friends a few times but mostly because of them walking in front of me

sharp siren
#

Except they can shoot on all 360°

normal lake
#

"Im using sniper dont go in front of me"
not even 10 seconds later friend is down from me putting a 50bmg in his ass

glass wharf
raw shard
#

bots need to chill with the bio too lmao, it's nice they tag 2s quicker than the actual bio cooldown but they do nothing else while tagging

sharp siren
#

What rhey need to do

#

Its remove that door spinning shit they do

#

For stupid inmersive people

#

Because that actually makes tjem delay

normal lake
raw shard
#

Yeah fairs

glass wharf
#

How do Better Bots perform on fog levels

sharp owl
rough robin
glass wharf
#

Same I'm assuming since they don't take damage from fog?

sharp owl
#

Yes

rough robin
#

don't know if that mod changes their pickup priority

glass wharf
#

Man I'm about to write my fuckin own

sharp owl
#

Nope

normal lake
#

bot doesnt stand in team scan

#

we fail

sharp siren
#

It doesnt change anything but what it say it does

glass wharf
#

There's NO way changing pickup priority is that hard

normal lake
#

fuck bots

rough robin
sharp siren
#

LMAO

sharp owl
#

There some good laughs to be had with bots

sharp siren
#

And help my man easterunit

raw shard
#

Just play with your slots set to players only

#

then bots wont replace when someone dcs

normal lake
raw shard
#

I just always have it set to that lol

normal lake
#

usually we play with a single bot and he happened to be in the players and bot slot

sharp siren
#

Bugged since og rundown 6

#

Hard to replicate

#

Nobody knows why since theres many instances that it should and it doesnt happend

#

So its a mix bag

#

Kinda like checkpoints

normal lake
#

mostly because finding a 4th player is like finding a golden egg meanwhile having no bot mostly is more detrimental than having a bot

sharp siren
#

Dang really

rough robin
sharp siren
#

Crazy

raw shard
#

Usually 3 person lfgs get filled instantly

#

or well

#

looking for 1s

normal lake
#

Even if bot bio gets nerfed to player radius and cooldown ill still prefer a bot on bio over a player any day

glass wharf
#

IS THE RADIUS BIGGER???

rough robin
#

way bigger and 360

normal lake
#

the worst bot is more consistent than the best player because those mfs never drop the tracker i swear

glass wharf
#

bro I thought I just sucked at scanning

#

I would pick nothing up

normal lake
glass wharf
#

Put it on the bot

#

Bot is scanning the map

normal lake
#

bot might aswell have full map coverage

#

shits insanely large

sharp siren
#

Its two rooms

#

Not really a radious

#

Afaik

normal lake
#

so its room based

#

gotcha

sharp siren
#

Just detects everything within 2 rooms

glass wharf
#

That's insane reach tho

sharp siren
#

Because biotracker

#

Have a two room limit

glass wharf
#

Considering the player can see about 2 inches in front of their face

normal lake
#

didnt know exactly how it works but its def 1 milx better

glass wharf
#

With the scanner

sharp siren
#

You can see that on one of the lab tiles

#

On biotracker limit

#

The players biotracker its a cone

modern coral
#

Does bot bio have infinite range, though?

sharp owl
#

Its hard to judge where they are for humans

sharp siren
#

But bio have limits

#

Like i mention early

#

Due to optimizations

modern coral
#

Yeah, just wondering if bot could reach the opposite end across two long rooms.

normal lake
#

wanna make bot be like normal players make them only able to scan same room because thats how i feel every time i use bio

modern coral
#

That is insane if so.

glass wharf
#

And by hitting I mean not hitting any scans ever

normal lake
#

literally i dont think ive ever scanned more than 5 enemies at once during a alarm unless they where literally on top of us

sharp siren
#

Use bio at chokepoint

normal lake
#

i had no clue bio was actually good on bots originally but on players might aswell be a waste of a tool lmao

glass wharf
#

Kinda hard when I gotta park my ass in the team scan

sharp siren
#

Thats how you get value

normal lake
#

using bio to get info on whats in a room is never really that useful since stealth aint a big deal

sharp siren
#

Just because your bad with bio doesnt mean its a bad tool

#

😭

rough robin
#

player bio gives info bot bio can't

normal lake
#

its ok for invis

normal lake
#

not really super necessary imo

wraith marsh
#

if youre being sarcastic we cant tell

sharp siren
#

My man got the crappiest takes i doubt he got an e tier done yet

#

Yeah im stsrting drama

normal lake
#

Lmfao pov i have a opinion

rough robin
#

if I didn't have a biotracker on R4E1 I think I would off myself

#

and this is coming from someone who will avoid bringing bio any chance he gets

normal lake
#

gtfo players try not to gatekeep opinions challenge: IMPOSSIBLE

wraith marsh
#

love saying the tool that literally spends nothing a waste of tool

glass wharf
#

🤨

normal lake
#

My bad on that

wraith marsh
#

I assumed thats what you meant and said that anyways

#

dw

normal lake
#

Unless its on a bot usually as a 4 man i find more often then not bio just isnt super necessary

wraith marsh
#

the only argument for replacing it is for another sentry, in which case you will just run out of tool

normal lake
#

its nice if you can get it on a bot

wraith marsh
#

SO the only waste ends up being the 50% you start with

normal lake
#

I dont even remember the last time i ran cfoam but thats usually what would take the bios spot

wraith marsh
#

in which case uhhhh fuck you I like bio

#

👍

#

(not taking it tho I Make other ppl do that)

So you can cfoam scouts and giants

(u can solo them with spears anyway tho?)

normal lake

Most of the time id rather have a tool that kills rather than a tool that slows

wraith marsh

and then more shit groups for the mine

ladders:

so it doesnt need to kill cuz you never take foam without mines

dw you arent grong

raw shard
#

See the way waves work stupidly in this game is that the faster you clear a wave, the quicker you get more. you're literally punished for clearing quickly

wraith marsh

cfoam ladder makes the game boring as fuck if you have any knowledge of pathing whatsoever

raw shard
#

It's stupid and why foam is so good

sharp siren
#

You can use tools everywhere

#

You just lack imaginatiob

normal lake
normal lake
#

generally tho i usually find mines to be a better pick of foam and bio on a bot is never a bad take

glass wharf
#

What happens when u cfoam a ladder

having 2 sentries basically nullifies any normal alarm

It breaks everything

Makes game blue screen

And the worst part of all its so easy to use

#

And with boosters and shit

#

Just too crazy if you know what your doing

#

And even then

#

If you dont know its just good on its basics

normal lake
#

just not my prefered tool

#

used to love foam

#

nowadays i find it boring

sharp owl

It does make lot of stuff trivial

#

Nice n also boring

normal lake

I dont refoam or foam ladders so its not like its op in my case

just not a tool i really enjoy using and god i will never give it to a bot
