@wispy bluffthanks, can i send you an PM about that?

wispy bluff
#

No-no, just gonna explain terminals and doors to him, nothing else.

mint light
balmy moat
#

Is it time to make a GTFO noob guide

rose nova
#

yayyy no carryiness :D

#

no carryin its so based

mint light
balmy moat
#

It’ll literally be labeling things

#

“This is a door”

#

“This will tell you where to go”

#

“This is a terminal”

#

“You should mindlessly follow the warden objective”

mint light
balmy moat
#

“This is a melee weapon”

trim heath
#

STOP JUST SHOOTING EVERYTHING

balmy moat
#

“These are your two guns”

#

“You have a selection of tool”

unreal crystal
#

if u mention anything about stats I will kill you

mint light
balmy moat
balmy moat
unreal crystal
#

even then

balmy moat
#

It’s a “melee weapon”

trim heath
#

gun exists for two things: saving a run and doing alarms

unreal crystal
#

I feel like ppl are way too stat brained

balmy moat
#

They can figure it out themself lol

#

Im just saying what shit is

#

“This is you”

trim heath
#

actually 3 things

balmy moat
#

“You play this”

trim heath
#

maybe ||BBC's||

balmy moat
#

Now play

mint light
trim heath
#

I mean yes but at the same time I've still watched people exhaust all their ammo, for example, in R7D1 before the alarms

#

literally all the ammo in the level

#

it was that bad

mint light
#

Bruh R7D1 is overfilled! HOW!

trim heath
#

magic

balmy moat
#

I think the main enemies I should mention are strikers, shooters, big, and scout right

trim heath
#

it wasnt even an overload run

balmy moat
#

For a complete noob?

trim heath
#

basically

balmy moat
#

They can figure out the rest by experience

#

Kk

thick temple
#

yeah i'd agree with that

#

spoiling the different enemy types would be lame imo

balmy moat
#

It’s gonna be a funny video if I plan it

trim heath
#

turkeys, little chicken, frank, and spaghetti

balmy moat
#

Completely idiot proof

#

Very vague

#

No spoilers

#

Think it’ll be perfect

unreal crystal
#

Well if you want no spoilers don’t mention anything about enemies

balmy moat
#

Fine I’ll just say collective sleepers

trim heath
#

it was bad

mint light
#

First: no ovl

#

2nd: my god

trim heath
#

I couldn't even get my hands on an ammo pack before they got it

#

I was gonna try to get them through overload

ivory radish
#

Question: Iplayed GTFO like 2 years ago with different people and back there no one did use any terminals. Did they change the gameplay since or did they just had no clue?

trim heath
#

then decided after the second time they just walked into a room and started blasting that we weren't gonna

mint light
#

terminals were a thing from the start

trim heath
balmy moat
#

I found the title team

#

GTFO in 60 seconds: noob edition

trim heath
#

like I dont use terminals until I go to ping something like a cell or w/e

#

because I generally know where they are and just want to terminal to save me the hassle of getting lost searching

mint light
rose nova
#

u gtfo at gtfo

balmy moat
#

This is a door!

#

It is breakable!

#

This is a security door!

#

It tells you where it goes to!

trim heath
#

all doors tell you where they go to

balmy moat
#

True

#

I forgot to mention they had alarms

#

You have enemies!

trim heath
#

RED MEANS STOP

balmy moat
#

They are called sleepers!

#

You have weapons in different forms!

#

You have a melee weapon!

trim heath
#

the number of people that I have seen pull alarm doors while somebody is 3 zones away getting something...

balmy moat
#

You use this to kill enemies!

#

You also have guns!

#

They do the same thing!

#

See? Completely fool proof

#

Nothing can go wrong

trim heath
#

I need to drag my dakka obsessed friends through R7C3

#

that will be fun

mint light
mint light
balmy moat
#

If someone won’t be able to understand this simplicity I will lose faith in humanity

silk blade
#

no

#

anyone whos worked with the oncoming generation (ipad kids) knows there is no hope

unreal crystal
#

yea man those ipad kids are obviously gonna ruin anything

#

damn

silk blade
#

idk how i could ever trust an ipad kid to do surgery on a living creature

balmy moat
#

Dad is mean 😦

#

I’m not an iPad kid

mint light
silk blade
#

ipad kid syndrome is terminal unfortunately

#

put them in the HSU and get a clean slate to work with

balmy moat
#

But… pcmr >>> Apple

#

iPad kid PH_nooo

mint light
balmy moat
#

Ah

#

Ehmm

mint light
#

Ahaaa!

balmy moat
mint light
trim heath
#

I had somebody in an R7E1 run that couldn't stay in a room, you set an expectation for humanity and somebody will find a way to not meet it

mint light
silk blade
#

truly insane

mint light
trim heath
#

'cause I wouldnt mind it on like...one or two of them

rose nova
#

i picked auto on r6a1 and c1 and it was very funny

#

i like it as the meme

#

its super fun

silk blade
#

it consumed all the tool

#

killed 0 enemies

trim heath
#

ew

#

yeah no

#

thats triple sniper sentry all the way

#

any level with that objective is sniper sentry gaming

silk blade
#

idk burst is ok too

rose nova
#

it is

#

i usually go 2 bursts one sniper

silk blade
#

i would take sniper more if like

#

i knew it would aim at bigs

#

and not random tiny guys

trim heath
#

ever since I started using dmr I developed a hatred for the burst sentry

#

its so good but it breaks the heads of smalls

rose nova
#

hah >:3

sharp owl
#

for r1c1 the problem is i can't really kill the enemies quickly enough

#

the round ends and they're still coming

#

not sure what to do about this

#

i guess i could place my sentry really far up so it's basically in the same room they spawn so it can do work

wispy bluff
#

That's one way, yeah.

#

They get funneled real good in that one corridor right before the wallhole

#

I wonder if using shotgun sentry will get extra value here...

sharp owl
#

ive noticed yeah

#

hel autosentry time whowhowhow

wispy bluff
#

But also i fear it might eat all the tool in the level and not get the effect

sharp owl
#

its HEL guys whooo

#

whoa

#

each wave is around 2 use ammo and 1.5 use of tool for the sentry now

#

i barely have time

#

also ive no idea how the hell im gonna deal with hybrids

wispy bluff
#

Bring a high precision and aim for the head.

#

HEL Revo + Sniper is probably the way to do this level solo. Burst Cannon too, but i have no idea how to realibly get hybrid value out of it...

modern coral
wispy bluff
#

True

sharp owl
#

:true:

modern coral
#

What loadout?

unreal crystal
#

hel revo sniper on true solo sounds insane

modern coral
#

That's what most of the R1C1 solos did.

#

Same for R4D1.

unreal crystal
#

I could never man

modern coral
#

Sniper is just so useful for giants.

#

And there's no alternative in the Main slot.

unreal crystal
#

id have to force hel gun or burst cannon

sharp owl
balmy moat
#

-Eva

unreal crystal
#

not a hel rifle user

balmy moat
#

Me neither

unreal crystal
#

Gun isn’t fun

balmy moat
#

I’d probably force BC

unreal crystal
#

hel revo sniper is a loadout I run on like 2 levels

#

Or did

#

otherwise I do not touch that gun

#

sniper I mean

trim heath
#

I havent used a sniper since I was a newbie

modern coral
#

It's just the only gun that can instantly delete large targets at every practical range.

trim heath
#

it offers a lot of value in some levels but most of them its kinda a liability

modern coral
#

It's underrated tbh.

#

Its main issue is that it's not a hard carry weapon.

unreal crystal
#

Ppl do hate on it a lot

trim heath
#

its a tool, not a weapon

modern coral
#

Ehhh

trim heath
#

it just happens to take a weapon slot and ammopack

unreal crystal
#

The main reason I use it is to get better at sniping shadow giants

modern coral
#

It's quite a weapon on R4E1 imo.

unreal crystal
#

it’s fun to do without thermal

trim heath
#

yeah its also nice on r7e1 due to the tonks

#

but even there

#

thats about it for it

modern coral
#

Kills tanks and pmom, does reactor codes fast, lets you skip shadow stealth.

#

It's good on plenty of levels.

#

It's my goto on R6D3 as well.

sharp owl
#

is BC valid for r1c1

#

and just brrt

unreal crystal
#

It’s a classic on r3d1

modern coral
green flume
modern coral
#

Hybrids are the worst target for BC, but you can brute force.

modern coral
balmy moat
#

If you’re insanely good just occi

#

Though pretty difficult in an environment like that

mystic moss
unreal crystal
#

just occi in the reactor where all the enemies come from the same direction

#

Good luck with that

sharp owl
#

nor the time

#

when i die in the first wave 50% of the time

wraith marsh
#

should load up with cconsole to practice

unreal crystal
#

I’m saying the occi thing was a dumb comment

sharp owl
#

i can't fuckin kill things AAAAAAAA

unreal crystal
#

then why mention it at all

sharp owl
#

there are too many things

balmy moat
wraith marsh
#

do you use pen

sharp owl
#

yes

modern coral
pine root
modern coral
#

They'll animationm lock.

sharp owl
#

not always

#

i can't always

modern coral
#

You just have to put yourself in tons of danger.

unreal crystal
#

exactly

#

Is it even worth the risk

balmy moat
#

I think you’ll have moments where you might be able to take the risk

#

So I don’t think it’s a bad mention

unreal crystal
#

if he can’t kill enemies fast enough then probably not

#

And afaik the waves don’t have a ton of downtime between them so it’s pretty rough

#

I just think it’s not at all worth it

#

Especially if you have a gun like burst cannon

sharp owl
#

pistol + bc run

unreal crystal
#

No hel revo…

sharp owl
#

yeah

#

i dont really pen with in anyway who cares

#

i took hel revo for the last 5 attempts

unreal crystal
#

that’s not the only good thing about the gun

#

And you should be penning with it on that reactor even if you aren’t trying to

#

Maybe not every bullet but

mystic moss
#

if you're holding bridge they should just run at you in a straight line

unreal crystal
#

🤯

#

Tbh tho the loadout isn’t the only thing

#

It does matter but I think what matters more is ur decision making

mystic moss
#

my favorite decision is clicking lmb

sharp owl
#

i cannot hold bridge because i dont kill fast enough

#

i need to move back over time

pine root
#

Hel rev would speed up kill speed

sharp owl
#

i was using it for forever

#

trying sum new

unreal crystal
#

Actually ur getting it

mystic moss
#

could you refrain from using the p-slur

unreal crystal
#

that’s kinda what I’d do anyway

#

And it’s what I imagine most ppl would do tbh

#

You don’t get the luxury of sitting completely still typically

sharp owl
#

i cannot reach that far away in time

#

also bc sucks for this

#

it seems

unreal crystal
#

Burst cannon is great it’s just a hard gun to use

sharp owl
unreal crystal
#

what do you think you are doing wrong

sharp owl
#

aiming incorrectly

unreal crystal
#

how so

sharp owl
#

i miss too much and i dont hit enough heads

unreal crystal
#

missing shots is definitely not ideal yea

#

you should record an attempt and send it to me

#

I could give more helpful advice that way probs

wraith marsh
#

pub review

unreal crystal
#

We’re so back

wispy bluff
#

I'm starting to develop Kaiser Derangement Syndrome. I feel like everyone new around here are just Kaiser in disguise.

unreal crystal
#

alright artek

mystic moss
#

he's not here anymore

stray raft
#

Is this Kaiser in the room with us?

mystic moss
#

he can't hurt you

earnest forge
#

I really had to. In his loving memory.
If he behaves, you might see him in the future though. who knows...

sharp owl
#

who is this kaiser

wispy bluff
#

He gotta send you his GTFO game folder for review

unreal crystal
#

Sometimes I see him in my dreams

earnest forge
wispy bluff
#

good ol' telnet

earnest forge
#

I mean, who in 2023 still use this protocol ? :D

wispy bluff
#

My company does, apparently.

earnest forge
#

Probably network switches, but that should be it

#

^^

wispy bluff
#

Sometimes we use it to confirm that client can connect to our servers and not blacklisted.

thorn crystal
#

Does the bio tracker help all sentries?

#

Or just sniper and shotgun?

sharp owl
#

just those two

wispy bluff
#

One of the reasons for Burst supremacy

pine root
#

Kaiser is about to be back got inside word! Unbanned for r8 and we are gonna get the dark Kaiser arc

unreal crystal
#

are you ok jish

sharp owl
#

the reason of burst supremacy is just headshots

#

it doesn't miss and it hits heads so half the time it's doing triple damage

#

and so its ammo lasts a long while

wispy bluff
#

Shotgun aims for heads too, yet it doesn't seem to be helping it

#

And sniper does too... It just doesn't shoot fast enough.

sharp owl
#

shotgun's dumb

#

it misses too much

#

it also sometimes shoots at dead enemies

unreal crystal
#

of a giant

sharp owl
#

(the game is subtly trying to tell you to run bc)

unreal crystal
#

I mean I would

wispy bluff
#

If targets for sentries were specified somehow...

#

Imagine if you could tell sniper sentry to only shoot at giants

#

Potential usage +100

earnest forge
#

That would make it a very sound choice

#

Same would be true if the Shotgun Sentry would target the center of mass instead of the head

wispy bluff
#

I hope their tests are coming to a conclusion

earnest forge
#

Right now it kills Shooters pretty well, but that is about it

wispy bluff
#

I swear if they don't implement that

rose nova
#

sounds funk

earnest forge
#

I have no idea how it could be implemented

#

Like if you could weight its AI targetting

wispy bluff
#

Well, when you hold a sentry it basically uses no buttons besides E to place

#

What if you could press R to change aiming protocols:
"Small target"
"Large targets"
"All targets"

earnest forge
#

That Artek would be much more complex, since it involves UI updates

#

I was thinking about a "default" behavior instead

wispy bluff
#

Ah, that

#

So it simply prioritised

earnest forge
#

But I am not sure how this could be done within the possibilities the game offers

wispy bluff
#

Maybe...

sharp owl
#

oh sentry talking again

#

ok check it out

#

remove inaccuracy

#

stop them from shooting at dead things

wispy bluff
#

It would probably ruin performance if the thing had to double-check every single enemy to confirm that there are no priority targets in sight

sharp owl
#

make shotgun center mass

rose nova
sharp owl
#

try harder

wispy bluff
sharp owl
#

work more

wispy bluff
rose nova
#

:]

sharp owl
#

i will

#

until i beat it ( i wont)

wispy bluff
#

Sniper sentry used to do it too during its overtuned arc

earnest forge
#

I think at least some of them do not aim at the end anymore if the target has no head

#

Sniper had its completely busted phase indeed

#

But there might be a sweet spot in between

wispy bluff
#

They just need to buff bio synergy more

#

They should perform worse than burst without it and better then burst with it

earnest forge
#

Synergy is quite strong as it stands, as far as I know

wispy bluff
#

So burst can remain an all rounder that doesn't need a clutch

earnest forge
#

Reducing target acquisition by half or something

wispy bluff
#

But if we remove synergy then we can never truly balance them out

#

The burst will just remain a universal pick

#

Don't need to know the level, the map layout, the enemy composition, nothing

sharp owl
#

i dont like these unfixable bugs

wispy bluff
#

Bring burst, win the day.

earnest forge
#

Right now burst is the "safest" choice

#

but both others have their niche use

wispy bluff
#

Do they now

earnest forge
#

Oh, someone tells me there is a fourth sentry ?

wispy bluff
#

Sniper nukes giants, when its kinda enough to aim at one

#

That's about it

earnest forge
#

Ah, right, we do not talk about that one

wispy bluff
#

How many giant rich levels there are?...

#

Right...

#

And shotgun... Urgh.

#

Lets wait for bodyshot fix and then we can see from there.

#

That change alone could easily fix the poor thing.

#

"Balance implications"... Yeah, the balance implication is that THE THING SUCKS

rose nova
#

:[

earnest forge
#

Shotgun works in an ideal scenario, a short strait path that enemy waves have to go through

#

But it shoots too fast

#

Very often shooting at dead targets in the result

wispy bluff
#

Give shotgun +1 HEL, delete HEL sentry.
There, fixed everything.

#

Whatever, we're doing another cycle again.

#

Waiting for R8 and praying that they will fix everything

rose nova
#

i dont think deletin hel auto its really like

#

an option

wispy bluff
#

It 100% is

rose nova
#

cause they bring every gun into the game

#

whats that nonsense of just, eliminating it

wispy bluff
#

It has no reason to waste my hard drive and annoy me with an illusion of choice in the lobby UI

rose nova
#

and only that one

#

might as well eliminate every other main

#

and only leave hel revo carbine

sharp owl
#

it's way buggier than hel

#

misses way more

#

consumes way more ammo

rose nova
#

i dont think those r bugs and the shootin corpes its a consequence of the firerate

wispy bluff
#

Alright, simple solution then

sharp owl
#

i firmly disagree

wispy bluff
#

aim for body
reduce fire rate
increase damage
keep high target acquisition speed

rose nova
#

for me its like when the smg user shoots a dead enemy 1 second more just in case

wispy bluff
#

Make it so that it nukes any target that comes near it, if anything does it

sharp owl
#

they dont make mistakes

rose nova
#

u just said it missed a lot

sharp owl
#

and if they did it should be consistent between all of them

#

they're not supposed to miss at all

rose nova
#

i like that idea more

wispy bluff
#

Because how on earth does it know that target is dead or not

rose nova
#

it shoots when it sees it alive by the time it sees oh its dead its got one shell more on the corpse

sharp owl
#

future fancy tech

#

there is precedent for it

#

same way our UI and HUDs know they're dead

#

because remember everything's canon hahaha

#

hitmarkers are canon

#

we have ways of determining

wispy bluff
#

I highly doubt that

sharp owl
#

I highly don doubt that

#

everything's canon

wispy bluff
#

No video game is ever "truly" canon, gameplay that is

sharp owl
#

hitmarkers are

wispy bluff
#

Sause? Besides the fact that we have them

sharp owl
#

they're part of our HUD

rose nova
#

i dont think u can compare a hud marker that dissapears with stuff than a turret that has to aim process its position move to it shoot have a delay to shoot again and then repeat

wispy bluff
#

our, not theirs

rose nova
#

but well lore lore, idk

sharp owl
#

ok anyway

rose nova
#

smg best weapon thats headcanon

sharp owl
#

biotracker
bottom text

#

it can tell

#

the tech exists

#

sentries can also tell

#

we done

rose nova
#

idk skill issue just dont use sentries use mines

#

way better

sharp owl
#

imo sentries shouldn't be missing at all

#

When we miss it's our fault
Whne the sentry misses it's random, and that never feels good. Their performance should be consistent

rose nova
#

i dont deny it would be funny seein auto sentry breakin its fuckin neck to just immediately turnin to another enemy after ones dead but idk if thats possible

sharp owl
#

also doesn't help that the sentries that miss most are the worst ones

rose nova
#

would be goofy asf tho

sharp owl
rose nova
#

its just shootin and then u hear a CRACK and suddenly its 90 degrees to the other side

sharp owl
#

when it is targeting an enemy it shouldn't be missing

wispy bluff
#

Shooting corpses can literally just be compensated with more ammo, accounting for that funny "feature"

#

THe aim though...

sharp owl
#

inconsistent damage output

wispy bluff
#

I havent used the thing for a while, so i don't remember what's going on there

#

In my experience it actually hits its targets

#

It just killed them with a shot too many for how many bullets it has

sharp owl
#

i sat in vc with a guy with cconsole and they were testin

#

shotgun missed a lot

#

like a lot

rose nova
#

dont all sentries miss when the enemy sidesteps

#

i dont remember

#

i heard it like, once

#

in here

sharp owl
#

burst sure as shit doesnt

wispy bluff
sharp owl
#

visually

#

i mean you could tell there were no hitmarkers

wispy bluff
#

Could it be related to the recent "aiming for missing heads" issues that they tried to fix?

sharp owl
#

think so

#

oh wait no

#

it shot for their heads im p sure

#

and just missed

cursive bane
#

what's the benefit of the knife

thick temple
#

fast

runic inlet
#
  • no stamina use on attack and a higher chance for avoiding random wakeup
#

And I think? It also gets a precision bonus? But it's probably negligible

wispy bluff
#

SLight, yes

runic inlet
#

And bonus damage on sleeping enemies okay I'm done I think that's it

wispy bluff
#

It also deals x2 damage to sleeping enemies, weirdly enough

#

The only time that mechanic is used in the game

runic inlet
#

Knife high-key very fun to use

wispy bluff
#

TL:DR

  • Kills small enemies very fast
  • Reduced aggro chance
  • Also wiki mentions it produces less noise when stabbing locks
cursive bane
#

I see

sharp owl
#

Also long range aggro has a smaller chance to happen

cursive bane
#

ohhh

#

nice

thick temple
#

is very fun but by no means the best

cursive bane
#

anyone have tips for terminal, aside from the Quary and Ping use ?

#

I can't find something else

wispy bluff
#

It doesn't have much besides that

thick temple
#

LIST ZONE_XXX RESOURCES

wispy bluff
#

LIST, QUERY, PING

sharp owl
#

It's a stealthi-er and fast melee

wispy bluff
#

The only 3 commands you need

runic inlet
#

LIST U E_<Zone number> is your friend

thick temple
#

if you want you can shorten ZONE_ to E_, and RESOURCES to either RES or U

wispy bluff
#

You can query literally anything

sharp owl
#

help my conciousness is trapped inside this text bubble, help help i want out i want out i cant anym

wispy bluff
#

You can query supplies to see how much they have.
You can even query doors, although i don't know what it says - i never tried

runic inlet
#

Doors say what they lead to

sharp owl
#

idont think they say alarm or key requirements

runic inlet
#

Very helpful for scouting when you wanna know exactly what to expect

sharp owl
#

which is sstupid

thick temple
#

shortening the filters increases the (relatively) small chance of getting hits that don't actually match the desired results but that's up to you

#

yeah querying doors saying what they have attached would be kinda neat

sharp owl
#

what does querying lockers and boxes do

wispy bluff
#

LIST RES ZONE is how i do it. Reliable and pleasant to type. I just like typing ZONE, its a very easy to word.

sharp owl
#

apart from telling u zone

thick temple
cursive bane
#

I though they were boosts

wispy bluff
#

Boosters.

thick temple
#

i like typing zone as well, and E_ looks so gross to me, though i'm fine with U since it catches other useful things

sharp owl
#

Yo got a simple question, You can join lobbies to find other 3 players right?

runic inlet
#

Ever since I learned the LIST U trick I've been using it since it lists resources, security items, and unknown items

wispy bluff
#

You collect enough artifacts (varies) > you get a booster.

sharp owl
#

and they have limited uses

thick temple
#

artifacts are parts of a booster, you collect enough parts you get a booster

cursive bane
foggy plankBOT
wispy bluff
#

Just don't join randomly without see an invitation

thick temple
sharp owl
#

1 mission = 1 use regardless of length or outcome

thick temple
#

i think unless you leave before the first ~30s or so

sharp owl
#

go in a mission and fail 2 minutes in or do a 5 hour marathon for some reason, both are 1 use

thick temple
#

until it says Server Sync in the bottom right

wispy bluff
#

Muted boosters are basically disposable - you can use one every run and never run out and still reach the inventory limit

sharp owl
#

yup

trim heath
#

...

#

grr discord

#

why no scroll

cursive bane
#

okay

sharp owl
#

If you want a faster melee like the knife but dont want to give up the ability to kill bigs go for the bat

trim heath
#

you can still kill stuff fast with hammer

#

you only need I think half charge to the head

sharp owl
#

yeah you can

#

but the weapon itself is slower than the bat or knife

runic inlet
#

You can but bat is still a lower execution barrier

trim heath
#

knife is just easier cause you can do it forever with no stamina cost and yeah it is faster

sharp owl
#

just objectively

Who on earth out there actually considers stamina

trim heath
#
  • I find actually hitting heads easier with knife personally
sharp owl
thick temple
runic inlet
#

There's been maybe a grand total of twice I've thought about bringing knife for no stamina specifically lol

trim heath
wispy bluff
#

Right

trim heath
#

but yeah that isnt a thought when I go to take hammer over knife

wispy bluff
#

An issue i - as a sprint-allergic spear user - literally never encounter

trim heath
#

normally I look at how fast can I run through sleeper rooms waking everything up right before stabbing it

#

when I play with my friends I usually just clear half the room and I get to the next alarm door (which might be multiple zones away) before they catch up

sharp owl
#

knife is awesome

trim heath
#

it really is

sharp owl
#

as long as nothing is woken up you're flyin

trim heath
#

except when bigs, then I feel so useless

wispy bluff
#

Still 1 stab to the face

trim heath
#

yeah

wispy bluff
#

Its an absolutely menace of smalls

sharp owl
#

you don't even need to hit heads in strikers, you can hit their back

trim heath
#

you just run around revoking sleeping loicenses

earnest forge
#

Knife is fun. When you face bigs, shoot (warn your teamates first, maybe)

wispy bluff
#

Just call for parents Hammer and Spear if you see any large men approaching

sharp owl
#

2x sleeping damage gets you there

trim heath
#

yeah my default to bigs is "not my problem"

#

I try not to shoot to set an example to frens that you can actually kill things with melee

sharp owl
#

you can initiate well against a big boy if they let you go first

#

hit the back of the head and that's like 5.5 x2x3 damage

#

33

trim heath
#

eh I can't be bothered most of the time

sharp owl
#

then the slegdehammer can clean it up right after you've done your damage

trim heath
#

I just go clear everything else while the other three hammer/spear it

#

then come shoot it when room is dead and so are they

cursive bane
#

god I suck at using the double barril shotgun, I feel like it should be a secondary.

trim heath
#

because the giant triple killed them

cursive bane
#

Idk, sometimes the room is too large

cursive bane
#

surprised me

trim heath
#

honestly I should use the sawed off more

#

seems like a nice alternative for wanting a shotgun but also wanting like a hel rifle or sth

sharp owl
#

sawed off is nice

#

kills all the smalls and it dumps damage really fast too

#

it has the most damage potential out of all main weapons

cursive bane
#

I see

#

is there a weapon that I should avoid ?

#

like it sucks

sharp owl
#

the standard assault rifle, machine pistol (usually) and autopistol

cursive bane
#

awh

sharp owl
#

AR is the worst main, autopistol is a weapon that staggers and doesn't kill, machine pistol has tons of recoil and super short range

cursive bane
#

autopistol do no damage

#

yep

trim heath
#

machine pistol has use cases

wispy bluff
#

Hm

trim heath
#

but I wont spoil them

#

i dont like it personally tho

wispy bluff
#

Dagger, Sawed off and something for range...

#

I should try that sometimes

#

Become the ultimate small killer

thick temple
#

pr

wispy bluff
#

With close range fuck off against giants

sharp owl
#

revolver is a better version of PR change my mind oh wait you CANT

#

because it's factual

wispy bluff
#

Much faster reload and easier to operate in close distance

#

Hipfire is also like twice as tight

sharp owl
#

aiming with the revolver isnt a chore

#

pr is

trim heath
#

pr is a weapon that exists

wispy bluff
#

I think its like the fastest special reload, might be only behind HAR

#

1.75?!

#

vs 2.3

sharp owl
#

if you can actually aim pr it's great

cursive bane
#

I was okay until I discovered that the melee ones also have some sort of range attack...

#

giants too...

wispy bluff
#

Yep, revolver reloads like a fucking main

sharp owl
#

yeah it does

#

revo is awesome

wispy bluff
sharp owl
#

giants do not fuck around do not get close to them

#

they deal 40% in one hit and they can hit you up to three times if you don't get out of its range (i think)

#

it can definitely hit you twice

trim heath
#

||BBC's||

cursive bane
#

i'm scared

sharp owl
#

trauma

sharp owl
#

dont be too afraid, they might be big but they are also slow

#

they move slowly, they stagger if you blow off a limb, their tongue attack takes a while to deploy

cursive bane
#

yeah

trim heath
#

the only time you get to be very afraid is when you are in a hurry and you run around a corner right into one

cursive bane
#

I have a hugh issue about dodging in this game

trim heath
#

and that only makes you afraid for a second or two

cursive bane
#

i'm not used to those kind of movements

sharp owl
#

giants are a problem if you're already preoccupied with other things

cursive bane
#

so idk how to dodge, sometime I just take damage

sharp owl
#

for shooters and their magic voodoo balls of light, move in a circle in place

little ridge
sharp owl
#

that'll dodge most of them

sharp owl
#

shush

little ridge

wispy bluff
#

You can flawlessly delete an entire scout wave just by yourself with PR

#

That large magazine allows you to do a lot

wispy bluff
#

Still.

little ridge
cursive bane
wispy bluff
#

I'm a big user of that and its honestly not bad anymore.

cursive bane
#

if you know someone french that could help It would help

wispy bluff
#

Like yeah yeah, reload takes a while - but you get a lot of things done by that point.

little ridge
#

But IMHO Thermals simply make up for PR's fault as along as the map needs thermals

wispy bluff
#

Also as previously mentioned - i'm not friends with ironsights.

sharp owl
#

my problem with PR is that the head blends into the body often times

#

the heat sight is a hinderance because you need the precision

wispy bluff
#

How is that possible?

#

Never had that

junior latch
little ridge
sharp owl
#

well if it's naruto running or crawling at you all you see is a body shaped blob and the head itself isn't visible

trim heath
sharp owl
#

you need to say "hm the head is probably around here"

wispy bluff
#

Perhaps, but it is most often there indeed

#

Even if you miss - that's 13 raw damage

sharp owl
#

and revolver is 14

wispy bluff
#

Your local HELRev crackhead can just shoot the guy once anywhere else and its done.

junior latch
sharp owl
#

lmao

#

at artek not u eva

junior latch
#

PR is honestly better in most situations than revo rn

little ridge
sharp owl
trim heath
#

more like I dont mind giving up my main weapon slot compared to my special

little ridge
#

PR enables stuff like shooting shadows from a range, is good in low visibility situations

sharp owl
#

im trying other weapons but it's too cool to stop using it

trim heath
#

I love my hel rifle or chokemod

little ridge
#

Very popular r4e1 extreme pick

sharp owl
#

so i switched to revo

little ridge
#

can kill scouts easier than rev can etc

wispy bluff
junior latch
trim heath
#

yeah

wispy bluff
#

Oh really?

#

The nerf has been doing numbers?

trim heath
#

its mid but it allows me to take a second slot weapon I actually want

junior latch
#

taking pdw means you use a utility pick

PR means you want its value

junior latch
cursive bane
#

is there a command that could help me finding keycards ?

#

(2nd level of the game)

wispy bluff
#

That's not what i remember with people gushing about it

trim heath
#

list key

little ridge
cursive bane
#

that green fog is killing me

trim heath
#

^^

little ridge
#

like QUERY KEY_RED_101

sharp owl
#

pdw is a thermal camera with a gun attached to it for emergencies

cursive bane
#

can't see shit

#

thanks

junior latch
trim heath
#

and since I only care about it for the thermal I am cool with that

sharp owl
cursive bane
#

I mean

little ridge
cursive bane
#

urf not key

#

the

#

uhm

junior latch
#

PR when it solo carries r6d3 lobbies

besssmug

cursive bane
#

identity piece

#

idk how u call it in english

#

"find 12"

junior latch
#

ID

little ridge
#

r1b1

trim heath
#

list id e_<zone you are in>

junior latch
#

List the zone you are in

sharp owl
#

LIST ID ZONE_XYZ

cursive bane
#

thanks guys

junior latch
#

then ping the specific ids

sharp owl
#

when in zone, PING ID_69Z420Y

wispy bluff
cursive bane
#

uh

little ridge
#

69 420 😄

sharp owl
#

the FUNNI numbers

#

i have an addiction to using PR because it has such insane potential but im so bad at using it

#

like 12 kills in one mag?

#

thermals?

#

long range?

#

OHK scouts?

#

it does so much stuff

#

but im so SHIT with the weapon like omg

wispy bluff
#

Deep breath and focus on the reticle. Like REALLY focus. Do the gamer lean if you have to.

trim heath
#

I would rather have dmr than pr for getting 12 kills per mag

junior latch
#

i mean in contrast it sucks vs chargers, in low range, vs giants its meh

And it absolutely cant reload during combat to safe its life

little ridge
#

is it like the Michael Jackson thing?

little ridge
#

Smooth Prisoner

junior latch
trim heath
#

yeah

#

the reload feels too long to use it over dmr

#

for that purpose

sharp owl
#

the hipfire is only ever so slightly larger than a striker's head
90% of the time you can just hipfire it

junior latch
#

dmr is a main

wispy bluff
junior latch
#

pr is a special that actually outputs well

wispy bluff
#

Just google it - it immediately shows you the concept art, lmao

cursive bane
#

idk

trim heath
#

yeah that means no id in that zone

junior latch
#

this the same type thing that makes people put sawed off into trash tier lol

trim heath
#

so you go to next one

cursive bane
#

I guess

#

should I type the same but with the next one ?

#

like not 45c but 45D ?

junior latch
#

you dont list rooms

trim heath
#

you use the zone number not the letter

junior latch
#

only the zone

junior latch
trim heath
#

yeah you just do 45

sharp owl
trim heath
#

that tells you what is in zone 45, then when you ping it you get to see which room it is in (A, B, C etc)

cursive bane
#

does it show me what there is or what's left ?

junior latch
cursive bane
#

I mean

#

if I pick some

#

and there is one left

trim heath
#

if you pick something up it will disappear from the terminal

cursive bane
#

thanks

#

so I type

#

List 45 ?

trim heath
#

list id e_45

#

this shows you the ID's in zone 45

cursive bane
#

i'm a bit idiotic lmao

#

thanks

trim heath
#

you can type out zone_45 but e_45 works

sharp owl
#

LIST <item or property> ZOINE_XYZ

#

so LIST ID ZONE_40

cursive bane
#

thanks

sharp owl
#

list no longer sounds like a real word

jovial nebula
shut vapor
#

pretty epic

trim heath
#

another common is list res e_<zone number

#

which lists resources

#

like ammo tool and med

#

then list key/cell/bulkhead/osip/glp/insert other objective type item

little ridge
#

LIST SLEEP

trim heath
#

list your mom

thick temple
wispy bluff
#

Yep

jovial nebula
#

I tried "LIST ALL" omg Aggressive_Artifact

#

my dos skills have failed me

thick temple
#

i think if you just type LIST it'll say it lol
but yeah, i understand 100% lol

sharp owl
#

1 more attempt at c1

#

and i missed the code

#

this is driviiinggg meee craaazyyy

mystic moss
#

don't die at extract

sharp owl
#

watch me die at extract

sharp owl
#

died at wave three wooohooo

#

BC not instantly killing giants really hurts me

#

i got a train ran on me by one striker and one giant

#

BCd the giant but then i was out of bullets on both guns

#

this feels impossible

gray pilot
#

The impossible map 🤯

wispy bluff
#

Why are you trying to true solo this again

#

Never understood people trying to playing the game wrong and then being surprised it doesn't quite work

unreal crystal
#

impossible level

junior latch
#

improving i guess

normal lake
sharp siren
#

is that the bite of 87

unreal crystal
#

🤯

pine root
#

🤯 how does one solo this game without shooter bug

unreal crystal
#

this is a shooter bug kinda level...

pine root
#

XD

#

THE FLYERS ARE COMING

normal lake
#

i just saw c1 what level exactly is it out of curiosity

unreal crystal
#

r1c1

pine root
#

C 1 T H E Y A R E H E R E

unreal crystal
#

rundown 1 c1

normal lake
#

lmfao a reactor solo even if r1c1

#

yikes that would be pretty brutal

#

i did r1a1, b1, and b2 solo cant imagine doing r1c1

junior latch
#

hybrids make it annoying

wispy bluff
#

The surprise death squad of hybrids is the source of the wipes pretty much exclusively.

#

A lot of brute force down the pipe

junior latch
#

otherwise, push up, shoot, fall back when needed, shoot while falling back til fine
repeat

normal lake
#

I considered giving it a try

junior latch
#

altho, i have not shot up wave 8

normal lake
#

it would be a very cool level to have a solo completion on

junior latch
#

i legit just push up far, then fall back slowly, input code and run to extract through the wave

normal lake
#

i dont remember shit about the level

#

doesnt it have invis on extract or am i crazy

mystic moss
#

that's r2c1

wispy bluff
#

Always catches me by surprise, bastards

normal lake
#

yeah its been so long since i did anything r1

#

other than my solo runs at the lower levels

#

my brain stored somewhere that there was invis in a r1 extract but ig it was r2

wispy bluff
#

I bot-solo'd C1 as proof of concept recently. Honestly not as bad as it could be, but got scared couple of times.

#

The hybrid wave and the giant waves in particular. They just kinda catch you by surprise if you don't have a way to nuke giants quickly - because lord knows bots are not doing anything about them.

normal lake
#

i think i might get 2-3 codes in true solo before fumbling a code or some stupid shit

#

i can handle giants

wispy bluff
#

I think you'll just get overrun.

normal lake
#

hybrids are a different beast

wispy bluff
#

Even 3 bots and 2 turrest barely hold the wave back.

#

Alone its basically an exercise in tactical retreat, i imagine.

normal lake
#

honestly i could see it being completely doable wtih the right weapons

#

and some pretty good aim and kiting

#

true solo takes some getting used to during waves and shit but its most certainly possible to hold off a lot of enemies

#

the hardest part is knowing when to fuckin reload

cursive bane
#

what does the heartbeat feature do exactly ?

wispy bluff
#

~65 is the default value when in a calm situation or in an empty room. With any awake enemy present it automatically jumps to 70 and grows only higher from there.
Sprinting, jumping and using your melee weapons costs stamina and once it reaches a low enough point (like 120 BPM) - you will walk slower, sprint will basically not work and i think even melee gets worse, somehow?... Not sure about the latter honestly, i do not fight in melee at 120 BPM or above.

normal lake
#

i believe melee charges slower

cursive bane
#

okay

rose nova
#

yeah think it was the charge of the weapon gets abit slower

pine root
#

And shove is slower

cursive bane
#

thanks

ivory radish
#

This game is insane. I now finished the 1. Map of 71 and that took me nearly 5 hours. How I am supposed to finish that?

unreal crystal
#

u end up improving and it gets a lot faster typically

#

Minus some difficult levels

pine root
#

You probably are doing some behaviours that are very very safe

ivory radish
#

Well it's just that we failed 4 times before we finished it. The last objective was to reach extraction point is that an unlimited wave?

unreal crystal
#

yes

#

endless wave of a few enemies every whatever time period it is

steep elm
#

its so funny that in a matchmade lobby, it took 5 attempts to not finish the first level of the first descent

#

all because of scouts

sharp owl
#

you learn more and more

sharp siren
#

5 hours its too much

#

even for this game

sharp siren
#

dont listen what artek says

trim heath
#

5 hours is being super mega cautious through an E1

#

even then

#

you probably went afk for an hour if it took that long

wispy bluff
#

With harder levels you just spam a level with random LFG squads and eventually some lad or two will get you through, provided you at the very least follow directions and shoot semi-decently.

sharp siren
#

90% of what he said its wrong anyways

normal lake
rose nova
#

do they mean 5 hours with all the attempts? i mean its still slow but

#

would b better than just 5 hours in one run

unreal crystal
#

It’s 5 hours with all the attempts

trim heath
#

ouch

#

I mean that will drop to maybe 20 mins for that level once you get more familiar with the game

junior latch
#

honestly taking 5 hours in 1 attempt on r7a1 is impossible unless you afk

trim heath
#

idk

#

I have seen things you cannot imagine

junior latch
#

id argue 1 hour is already questionable as hell for 1 attempt

unreal crystal
#

Strawmanning

trim heath
#

I think it is possible

#

but not likely

wispy bluff
#

You just understimate how scared new people of sleeping enemies.

junior latch
#

but as a new guy, especially if alone an hour happens quickly if cautious

and over multipel attempts it stacks up

trim heath
#

ye

wispy bluff
#

Also just finding correct directions... Decisions making because they don't know how to make a said decision... Taking in the sights...

trim heath
#

once you realize you dont have to be afraid of most rooms times go way down

junior latch
trim heath
#

like

normal lake
#

honestly r1a1 if thats what he considered the first level which id say most do is honestly kinda difficult for a brand new player

junior latch
#

not 5 hours

normal lake
#

2 scouts, a class 3 and a class 4 alarm

wispy bluff
#

That's 5 hours with failed attempts, i believe

junior latch
#

R1A1 definetly can take an hour for a completely new, cautious group

wispy bluff
#

He didn't spend 5 hours on a single run

junior latch
#

r7a1 is super linear

#

and has pretty small zones

trim heath
#

r7a1 is a straight line for the most part

junior latch
#

get key in zone 46 and you have a max of 10 rooms with enemies lol

trim heath
#

you probably can also just shoot your way through it too

normal lake
#

r7a1 is literally the only level in the game where a brand new player could true solo the level first try

junior latch
normal lake
junior latch
#

a blind new player wont be able to figure out alarms and the extract is tough to carry and shoot

normal lake
trim heath
#

esp if they dont use the doors on the way out

junior latch
#

as in, theoretically could
but theyd have to be either insanely observant and skilled or just spoiled/know stuff ahead of playing

wispy bluff
#

There is a chance i think, if you're just really good at FPS in general

trim heath
#

that cuts a lot of effort out of it

wispy bluff
#

It will be hard and nerve-wracking, but some mad lad could to it

unreal crystal
#

I love cloud gaming

trim heath
#

'cause iirc theres two between the first security door and the extraction that you can use

#

might just be one tho

junior latch
#

beth, who are you talking to and what are you talking about

unreal crystal
#

I’m saying this conversation is dumb

#

Ppl being like “well they COULD solo it”

#

No they couldn’t

#

They are not first trying a true solo as a brand new player

trim heath
#

nah they wouldnt

#

it might be possible

#

but I dont think anyone would do it

unreal crystal
#

There’s a lot that goes into it that they will not be able to pick up themselves

trim heath
#

ye, statistics would prob play a part on whether or not they just randomly do the right thing at the right time

rose nova
desert gulch
#

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

wispy bluff
#

I mean what would be the wiping pitfalls...

unreal crystal
#

idk man maybe the class 2 and class 4 alarm

#

but who knows

#

Could be anything really

wispy bluff
#

I'm reffering to R7A1, just in case.

unreal crystal
#

what would the brand new player wipe on…

wispy bluff
#

First exposure to stealth: hopefully they picked up the basics from TRAINING?
First alarm is a big one. Probably won't close the door, probably won't use the tool, pray to gods they bring a burst sentry.
First exposure to giants - hopefully won't get punched.
Probably won't search for ammo with a terminal - potential to run out of ammo?
2nd alarm they'll probably be more ready and prepare at least somewhat.
Moving back with the objective item is the last chance, but once they make it to extraction circle - its over, funnel too good.

trim heath
# wispy bluff I mean what would be the wiping pitfalls...

not clearing rooms and just stealthing through them, getting first extraction wave spawn in the big open room then meeting it around that big door that you usually use for the alarm, not dropping item proactively to shoot. the second alarm (first one is weak with the funnel whether or not the door is used), giants

wicked solstice
#

nobody is going to first try true solo a level with 0 experience

trim heath
#

I dont think ammo will be a concern

#

you have to try to run out of ammo on an A1

#

I'm relatively confident that I could solo it with no pickups and a mine deployer (no med, tool, or ammo, true solo)

#

and theres two rooms you have to go through that have ammo med and tool in them

junior latch
#

If a new player is told to try their absolute best of surviving solo and is allowed to do training then they

  1. learn the terminal well enough to figure out where ammo is and how to ping
  2. close the door, setup tool (even if suboptimally)

but cleaning up the alarm is gonna be rough for them, even on the class 2

Potential wipe points:

  1. first alarm shooting
  2. triggering giant + room clean up
  3. class 3 alarm (this will be rough)
  4. walk to extract with neonate
trim heath
#

yea

junior latch
trim heath
#

I think it would depend on the guns they take + how familiar they are with fps games

trim heath
unreal crystal
#

Do you guys think a rock could move on its own

trim heath
#

extraction would suck

#

maybe cfoam actually

#

foam the doors should give time to do scans

#

can refoam door 2

junior latch
trim heath
#

should be able to thin them out then melee

#

if you can get scans done before contact

pine root
#

New players

#

Struggle with using tools

junior latch
#

you cant perma foam 2nd alarm long enough

pine root
#

Let’s alone clearing waves

unreal crystal
#

I don’t think it matters what loadout they take

#

They are not going to clean up a wave

junior latch
#

im flabbergasted beth actually asked if move can move on their own

trim heath
junior latch
#

Sadge dissappointment

junior latch
trim heath
#

I would 100% be on regen by the second alarm tho

#

yeah I dont recall the scans taking that long tho

junior latch
#

remember, you are ~50/50 on ammo at the start for 2 alarms and extract

trim heath
#

ye

junior latch
#

you can prob do it chill on a 2 use ammo

trim heath
#

definitely

junior latch
#

but theres a reason solo speedruns rly want 4 uses (at least 2 ammo) of tool/ammo combined

trim heath
#

I might try true solo no pickups just to see how far I get

junior latch
#

tbh

#

just pick knife

#

and melee

trim heath
#

yeah

#

I would

junior latch
#

you can easily clean up 1st alarm solo
