[normal lake]

r4b3pe trio without bots it looks like is gonna be my game

[mortal lake]

oh right it was 12:15 in the mornin

[balmy moat]

Yes

[serene jewel]

lol we just had the most amazing glitch in R1D1

we had to use another terminal to use the reactor terminal

[void tartan]

Have you guys ever like, send the bots to the shadow realm because they don't step in the scan, and then they don't come back?

Even if it's players & bots or just bots, they just don't come back

[wispy bluff]

No, but i've seen them to come back with empty hands - no guns, tool or even melee. Literally empty hands..

[lost lynx]

Bishop does that all the time

[void tartan]

Is it okay if I show via screenshot here what happened?

[wispy bluff]

#gtfo-media , no perms here

[void tartan]

Gotcha

I'll go do that there

[wispy bluff]

Oof. they literally don't show up? No matter what?

Oh riiiight. It might be lobby death scenario.

[burnt flume]

just seems like regular steam maintenance fuckery

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[wispy bluff]

I probably couldn't even join if i tried.

[void tartan]

Yup...

[void tartan]

I guess I'll just avoid this game on tuesdays or something... This sucks

[wispy bluff]

What level is this?

[void tartan]

It's uh...

[wispy bluff]

I could try joining and attempt to salvage it.

[void tartan]

Hold that thought

R4B1

[lost lynx]

i can try to join too

if you need

[void tartan]

I appreciate it brothers but I think I'll quit for today

[wispy bluff]

Fair

[void tartan]

I genuinely am tired of the bugs for today, been really unlucky

[lost lynx]

what time is it for you right now?

[normal lake]

its steam server maintenance

[wispy bluff]

Sounds like GTFO experience to me

[void tartan]

Its currently 1:45 AM

[normal lake]

it just happened to my group literally minutes ago

[lost lynx]

:0

[void tartan]

Maintenance kicked in about

Less than 2 hours ago

Was literally in the room before the end

Reactor done and all

[normal lake]

our bot refused to rejoin

[void tartan]

Well crap baskets

My condolences man

[normal lake]

happened early in our run

[void tartan]

I love this game but man the bugs sometimes

[normal lake]

we managed to do the secondary and overload but failed because blind run didnt know finishing overload objective would start a unreasonable error alarm

[void tartan]

Classic lmao

[normal lake]

got gang banged by like 4 fuckin hybrids and a ungodly amount of strikers

[void tartan]

What level was it?

[normal lake]

r4b3

[void tartan]

Oh boy

I got that to enjoy next lol

[normal lake]

just dont punch in the overload terminal command until your ready to end the level

[void tartan]

So far the last few overload gave errors, doesn't seem too bad though

[burnt flume]

overload isn't an error alarm

[void tartan]

Yeah I fucked up once and finished the objective, alarm started, so we rushed to the extraction point, there was a level 5 alarm door (Was a blind run lol) and somehow finished it

[normal lake]

we didnt have many resources but still held off enemies for a whole ass minute before wiping

regardless it was mostly due to lacking the 4th player slot

Honestly we where pretty strapped for resources at that point which was fun

its rare for a level to not provide so many resources there is no struggle

[void tartan]

Lmao, even in the post mission screen the bots won't spawn

[normal lake]

Ima be real i dont remember a single level where doing a command spawns just one wave of enemies, we assumed it was a error because the only time you hear alarm noise is when its a fucking alarm

[void tartan]

Actually

I forget the level but

[normal lake]

ugh if we where not blind and knew this we would have not been trying to push

[void tartan]

Prior to r4b3, there is an input command to place in a terminal

[normal lake]

Also that blood door was quite funny

if you havent played i wont state why but man that gave us one hell of a scare

[void tartan]

The overload door was an error alarm, but the command spawned a hybrid and striker wave

[void tartan]

Which level?

Dunno if I played it

[normal lake]

r4b3

[void tartan]

Oh!

in that case no clue

I did have a scout directly begind a blood door that immediately woke up

That was cruel

[normal lake]

I wont state why just in case you like being blind

honestly we nearly wiped because we did not expect it at all

[void tartan]

I appreciate it

For now I'll go make some dinner and

Cry I guess

I'll beat this tomorrow

[normal lake]

literally my group right now

[lost lynx]

dinner at 2AM? damn

[normal lake]

get together for first time in 2 weeks to play gtfo

gets cut short

[void tartan]

I have a very interesting schedule lmao

[mellow fjord]

it's his first meal of the day

[void tartan]

SHUT

THE FUCK UP

[mellow fjord]

i've been yelling at him

[normal lake]

been there

[mellow fjord]

for 3 hours

to EAT

[lost lynx]

i can see that

[mellow fjord]

NO YOU SHUT UP

and eeeeeeeeeat

[normal lake]

https://tenor.com/view/how-hungry-horse-meme-how-hungry-meme-hungry-gif-3271609735629330991

[void tartan]

This is what I deal with

Verbal abuse

[normal lake]

i know embeds dont work but its appropriate for the situation

[lost lynx]

my team screaming at me to get into the full team scan

lol

[mellow fjord]

well i deal with your airborne slaps!

[normal lake]

Me yelling "WHO THE FUCK" when the team scan stops for 3 frames

[void tartan]

And you deal with a 50 cal sniper bullet to the back because you keep jumping around mid wave

[lost lynx]

YEAH

[mellow fjord]

HUSH

don't even

[lost lynx]

LITERALLY

[mellow fjord]

get me started on that

[void tartan]

Fuck yeah

[lost lynx]

It stops for 1 second and everyone is "WHO TEH FUCK IS OUT OF THE SCAN"

"GET INSIDE INSERT REALLY BAD WORDS HERE"

[normal lake]

People in the front of the scan crouch, they carry close range weapons

people long range stand in the back

dont fucking jump around

[void tartan]

@mellow fjord

[mellow fjord]

you

[void tartan]

Hope you learned your lesson

[mellow fjord]

stupid manthing

[normal lake]

proper firing line literally carries all scans unless you are getting swarmed

[mellow fjord]

you were hugging my arm

with your

sniper

[void tartan]

You were a meter in front of me

[mellow fjord]

you forgot your glasses

[void tartan]

Your mistake

Monkey

[mellow fjord]

shut up

donkeeeey

[void tartan]

Maybe don't jump around as much

[lost lynx]

what a nice friendship over here

very wholesome

[void tartan]

We're dating lmao

[normal lake]

Nah they got a point if you got sniper you must be careful of people around you since you literally do 80% damage if you hit them iirc

[lost lynx]

now that makes sense

[normal lake]

esp if you play with dumbass bots

[mellow fjord]

we just decided that i should instead take the sniper..

[void tartan]

She took the bullet as if the enemy was the president

[mellow fjord]

STOP

[void tartan]

I have a good trigger finger and still shot her

[lost lynx]

Moji is getting exposed

[void tartan]

Hel rifle*

Don't trust you with that shit

[normal lake]

Im literally standing in front holding off a entire wave with hel shotgun and combat shotgun and a fucking bot walked in front of me gets licked twice and shot 3 times since im fucking unloading and he dies

literally had to use a hel weapon and just shot through them

[lost lynx]

i bet it was Bishop

[normal lake]

bots do not deserve rights

[normal lake]

It fucking was bishop

[lost lynx]

LMAO

its always Bishop

[mellow fjord]

wait

i play as bishop

uh oh

[void tartan]

For us it's dauda

[lost lynx]

i never feel sorry for Bishop when he gets gunned down by us

[mellow fjord]

you shot my toe!

[lost lynx]

he deserves it

[void tartan]

I tell that fucker to pick up the turret, and he complains about friendly fire from his own turret

[normal lake]

Bishop on r6c3 literally carried but everywhere else he has been nothing but a bitch

[void tartan]

YOU DESERVED IT

[last parrot]

bishop best bot

[mellow fjord]

WHY

[lost lynx]

bro

lies

he always gets in front of me when i shoot

[last parrot]

maybe stand in the front of the scan

[normal lake]

pov me and the boys nearly done with r6c3 and we get ass blasted by a fuckin tokyo drifting tank

[lost lynx]

I AM

[normal lake]

bishop just stands there getting his ass beaten while reviving and literally clutches the rev saving the run

[lost lynx]

in front of the scan

[normal lake]

if any human was alive everything would have been fine but this is a bot we are talking about

[void tartan]

I always shoot the bots at the end, hopefully the bastards gets injured enough that I'll get different clones

[mellow fjord]

our dauda always likes to get close and personal with hybrids

[void tartan]

But I suppose they just get worse every iteration

[normal lake]

this is the first time a bot was useful to me in my 400 hours of gtfo

[last parrot]

bot biotrackers

[lost lynx]

Bishop best bot (when he has bio tracker)

[void tartan]

They are so bad with bio trackers the devs had to make them break the rules

[normal lake]

Set 4th player slot bots only, and have them with bio

that is there purpose

[last parrot]

i prefer hackett voice lines

[void tartan]

The bot has a second biotracker on his colon I assume for those speeds

And they just alternate

[sharp owl]

my man bishop the best

we go way back

(8 hours back)

[void tartan]

Dauda's beautiful nigerian accent isn't exactly audible butter... Can't argue there

[last parrot]

"scanner must be broken... theres too many of them!!"

dauda is a beta male

can we kill him

[void tartan]

"No no no it cant be!!"

[burnt flume]

hey, maybe he has some unresolved trauma

let's not bring the manosphere into this

[void tartan]

How did the warden even find a nigerian guy?

Isn't it like

[last parrot]

i don't think theres anything going on in that head

[void tartan]

A desert?

[void tartan]

I look into his eyes and I see tumbleweeds

[void tartan]

I do it every time and he still doesn't go away...

Cockroach...

[sharp owl]

untrue he is thinking about if he will get home for dinner

[lost lynx]

home? his HSU pod?

[sharp owl]

yes

very homely

[lost lynx]

very comfy

[void tartan]

Maybe there is a fleshlight in there somewhere

We just don't know

[sharp owl]

nah thats too advanced for him

[void tartan]

I do know whener his HSU opens it reeks

Something has to be going on there

Maybe he sweats a lot in his sleep

[void tartan]

Erectile dysfunction is faaaar more likely

Captain can't stand up for the salute

[sharp owl]

nah that guy fucks

he's just primitive

[void tartan]

Little patriot too busy sleeping

Doesn't respect the national anthem

[sharp owl]

idk about gtfo lore btw but im guessing they have a life inbetween missions?

in a prison or smth

[lost lynx]

they dont

as far as we know

[crimson oriole]

they sleep

[void tartan]

Of course they don't

[sharp owl]

that's hella twisted

[void tartan]

They sleep, work, sleep again

[sharp owl]

sounds like my dream life

nvm its just my life

[void tartan]

AT&T is the best place for you then

[crimson oriole]

all my homies hate telcos

[sharp owl]

so how do we actually know about lore do you find out when progressing or?

[void tartan]

I must be your homie cuz I hate telcos too

[lost lynx]

we know that

the outside world is fucked

[void tartan]

Yes and terminal entries

[void tartan]

Later missions have NARRATION

[sharp owl]

wait so the infection is outside aswell?

or is it just isolated to the pit

[void tartan]

Probably outside too

[lost lynx]

4 billion people infected
2 billion people dead

something like that

[frozen kite]

tis outside

[void tartan]

wait so

[sharp owl]

damn

[void tartan]

4 billion

[sharp owl]

any antidote?

[void tartan]

2

Is 7

[lost lynx]

nope

[void tartan]

But like

Isn't there like

8 billion already??

[sharp owl]

that's wild

[frozen kite]

4+2 is 6 my friend

lmao

[void tartan]

Shit

[lost lynx]

yeah
one way or another we are dead

[mellow fjord]

no no he's right

it is 7

[frozen kite]

but our current human populace is about almost 8 bill

[lost lynx]

also our characters are infected as well

[sharp owl]

daude iq

[frozen kite]

and by the games setting would be about 8 bil

so yeah, where is the other 2 bil besides the few in the pit i suppose

[void tartan]

Shut your mouth it's 2 am and I havent eaten

[frozen kite]

or are they dead too and the statistics are outdated

who knows

[void tartan]

Plus hanging out with dauda gives you brain rot

[sharp owl]

how did the infection come around then? just natural mutation? or was it engineered?

[lost lynx]

it was found

in garganta

[frozen kite]

aren't there two different types

of infection?

[lost lynx]

during one of their excavations and stuff

[frozen kite]

resident evil style

NAM-V and something else

[lost lynx]

it was the virus and a parasite

i think

[sharp owl]

not sure but i do know playing solo is the most painful thing i have ever experienced

shits so scary

[void tartan]

Wait hold up

The 2 billion in the pit

Is that counting or not counting "mothers" getting frisky?

[sharp owl]

there's 2 billion in the pit????????

[lost lynx]

there isnt 2 bill people in the pit

lol

[frozen kite]

not 2 bil in pit

only a few in pit

[sharp owl]

was gunna say how tf am i supposed to kill all of them

[frozen kite]

most of which are cryogenically frozen and probably dead or will mentally snap when awoken

[void tartan]

Oh shit I misread what you wrote

[sharp owl]

do you learn more lore as you go deeper?

[lost lynx]

yup

[void tartan]

Yes

[sharp owl]

nice one

[lost lynx]

this game has a very interesting lore

i wont spoil anything else

[sharp owl]

i can tell thats why i havent quit due to torture yet

uet

yet

[frozen kite]

lore is very segmented, though the alt rundowns do a better job of ordering it now

however

alt rundown lore differs

to the original

[void tartan]

"First, came the age of fire..."

[sharp owl]

alt rundowns?

[void tartan]

It's the extra rundowns I think

[frozen kite]

rundowns 1-6

are re-releases

of the originals

[void tartan]

Oh

[lost lynx]

the game launched with the "original" roundowns
then came the alt rundowns to replace the original

[void tartan]

Nevermind

[frozen kite]

hence they are 'alt"

[lost lynx]

they tell a different story

but similar

[sharp owl]

hm

so they arent mods they're official in the game

[void tartan]

"The fallen leaves, tell a story. Something something elden looord"

[sharp owl]

how come the alt rundowns came into replace the originals?

[frozen kite]

at rundown 6 a lot of game mechanics were overhauled like stamina, and rundown 4 had difficulty modifiers added

because originally a rundown would only be around a few months

then be gone

replaced with next

[sharp owl]

stamina?

[lost lynx]

the heartbeat

[sharp owl]

as in running stam n shit?

[frozen kite]

so the alt ones are the ways to make players able to play old ones

[sharp owl]

oh

[void tartan]

This right here, sucked

[sharp owl]

heh

the heartbeat?

you mean when they're awake?

[lost lynx]

you can see the heartbeat of your character

[frozen kite]

yes, stamina never used to exist

the pulse

[thick temple]

your characters pulse

[lost lynx]

in the health bar

[frozen kite]

bottom left

[sharp owl]

oh yeah i didnt realise that had any effect on anything

[lost lynx]

you need to be really fucking careful

that thing can mess entire attempts

[sharp owl]

how so

[lost lynx]

they make you slower

way slower

[sharp owl]

oh

guess im not far enough into the game to experience that yet then

[lost lynx]

nah

just dont run too much or spam melee

and you should be fine

[frozen kite]

when your bar is red and pulse is high at about 140-180 it's generally better to just walk

[sharp owl]

i was playing with this guy earlier and he just legit went and cleared an entire room with like 30 weird mfs in it in like 3 mins i dont have a clue how

[frozen kite]

since running is about the same speed then

fast stealthing

if you understand pulse and the aggro radius

[lost lynx]

better to walk? man the game FORCES you to walk anyways

[frozen kite]

it's not to hard

that's true

[sharp owl]

if i even go near one it gets pissed

[frozen kite]

I never held it long enough to see that

I always let go of shift long before I need to

[lost lynx]

dont do it in a life or death situation

you will get killed 99% of the times

[sharp owl]

what are they actually called?

[lost lynx]

sleepers

[frozen kite]

sleepers

[lost lynx]

they sleep

lol

[sharp owl]

ah ok

very simple name xD

[lost lynx]

also you can move until they start glowing

[sharp owl]

yeye i get that

i just get bum fucked anyways idk how it just happens

[frozen kite]

if you sprint near them they will wake

no matter their pulse

[lost lynx]

actually, until you can hear their heartbeat

but thats too risky

[frozen kite]

so just stick to walking or crouching

walking is normally fine

[void tartan]

Until it isn't and you wake a scout

[frozen kite]

you wake a scout on tentacle contact

[lost lynx]

a charger scout

[void tartan]

Of which you stay quiet/freak out so your team doesn't realize it was you

[frozen kite]

just full charge hammer, walk into tentacles and bonk the head

[lost lynx]

they can also wake up by the wall green things

[sharp owl]

i think ive been crouched for about 95% of my time in this game out of pure paranoia

[frozen kite]

yeah

[void tartan]

Even better

[frozen kite]

learn to walk my friend

crouching always will make the game cripplingly slow

and wont teach you to stealth rooms very fast

which will be an issue when you gotta stealth a room while others are dealing with an alarm

[lost lynx]

sometimes you will have to stealh a room while fighting hordes of enemies

[sharp owl]

that is true however it will be the death of me

[lost lynx]

so you should learn how to stealth FAST

[sharp owl]

many upon many of times

[frozen kite]

practice is learning

i was shit at this game for like the first 500 hours

[void tartan]

Knife gets you into the flow of walking and clearing

[sharp owl]

how many hours do you have ._.

[frozen kite]

about 900 hours now and I still think i am mid

[void tartan]

But later switch, that thing struggles with scouts

[lost lynx]

i have 100

lol

[sharp owl]

._.

[lost lynx]

and i havent completed R3

[sharp owl]

im on r3 rn

oh wait

no

[frozen kite]

R3 overall is easier than R2

so if you did all of R2

[void tartan]

Fuck R2

[frozen kite]

you can do 3

[sharp owl]

im on the 3rd mission on the first one

[lost lynx]

||R2E1||

fun

[void tartan]

Powerless and crib can suck it

[frozen kite]

you don't have to do rundowns in order either

[lost lynx]

hey powerless is a fun level

dont say that

[frozen kite]

the lore doesn't really have...ordered logic anyway

[sharp owl]

does it not go by difficulty?

[frozen kite]

no

[lost lynx]

not really

[sharp owl]

oh

[lost lynx]

R4 and R5 are way harder than R6 and R7

[void tartan]

I will say it, a 5 scout rooms is evil and you know it!

[frozen kite]

some levels in old rundowns are harder than current ones

[sharp owl]

i wonder why they have decided to do that

[frozen kite]

R6D4 is easier than say, R7E1 and some levels in R4/R5

[sharp owl]

doesnt follow general game rules

[lost lynx]

good

[frozen kite]

R4 and R5 are normally considered hardest

[lost lynx]

i think its because they decided to balance shit

[frozen kite]

and it's like that because of the way the game originally worked

only one rundown at a time

R4/R5 was balanced around not having stamina

[modern coral]

R1-R7 are rundowns through time.

[frozen kite]

at the time

[sharp owl]

alr im getting off guys if anyone wants to help me (carry me) gimme a dm i pray

[modern coral]

They are not a difficulty progression.

[sharp owl]

ahhh that makes more sense

[void tartan]

Imma make that dinner

And go pass out

[lost lynx]

you said that 40mins ago

[void tartan]

No I didn't

[mellow fjord]

and i've still been yelling at him

[lost lynx]

you did

[void tartan]

I did not

[modern coral]

R6 and R7 are "easier" because they have much more reasonable difficulty progressions.

[mellow fjord]

gonna kick his bum off of discord

[lost lynx]

you totally did

[void tartan]

I totally did not

[lost lynx]

you definitely did

[void tartan]

R7A1 made you crazy

[lost lynx]

crazy?

i was crazy once

[void tartan]

They locked me in a room

[mellow fjord]

go

get your food

idiot!

[modern coral]

Ehh. There were certain reactions to kiting, but most of the balancing expected you to play normally.

[lost lynx]

they put me in a room,
a lab room,
a lab room filled with snatchers,
and snatchers make me crazy

[sharp owl]

JOHN, it is time

[lost lynx]

bro i hate snatchers

[sharp owl]

food time

[frozen kite]

@modern coral that's true, kiting was never necessary

[modern coral]

The reactions to kiting tried to force you to play normally, even.

[void tartan]

When do they first show up?

[frozen kite]

I just meant that the absence of stamina at the time causes a difference in level design then versus now

[lost lynx]

originally R7C1 i think

but now they show in alt R5 something

[sharp owl]

what they do?

[frozen kite]

sntatcher was first added R7C1

[modern coral]

Maybe. For R5, for sure.

Main difference imo is quality.

[void tartan]

Snatch you

[frozen kite]

but it got retroactively added to older rundowns too

with alts

[modern coral]

R4-R5 are very "scuffed"

[void tartan]

And like

Buy milk

[sharp owl]

not even kill you just snatch you? xD

[lost lynx]

yeah

he just grabs you

[void tartan]

They do damage while you're being forcefully cuddled

[frozen kite]

i mean

the snatch can kill you

[lost lynx]

and puts you into the spageti dimension

[sharp owl]

idm getting snatched if they got a fatty tbh

[void tartan]

But you can survive it

[rose nova]

what r these spoils smh

:3

[frozen kite]

yeah to be fair

[void tartan]

It's not spoilers it's in the name

[frozen kite]

lets not discuss specific enemies

this isn't spoiler chat

lol

[lost lynx]

pablo

[rose nova]

well dont, say it lol

idk

[lost lynx]

Pablo

[rose nova]

pablistico

[lost lynx]

PABLOOOOOO

[sharp owl]

yeah i kind of predicted what they did but yk had to clarify

[void tartan]

He has devolved into saying a single word

[frozen kite]

i bet pablo does the big stinky

[void tartan]

Thoughts and prayers to his caveman family

[frozen kite]

[lost lynx]

i cant wait until he meets ||Pablo||

[void tartan]

Picasso?

[frozen kite]

Pablo behaves...interestingly when put in places he shouldn't be

[void tartan]

Such as?

[frozen kite]

spoilers my friend, spoilers

[void tartan]

I'm gonna go make dinner and pass out afterwards

[frozen kite]

go eat

[lost lynx]

you said that 50 mins ago

[frozen kite]

i might go join randoms

[rose nova]

nom nom

[void tartan]

No I didn't

[lost lynx]

i might do some R6 if you want to join me

[frozen kite]

I am down

[lost lynx]

aight

let me open the game and that

im not that good of a player

but i can deffend myself

just saying

[void tartan]

"Good when put in places he shouldn't be"

[frozen kite]

fam has the misconception I am good in any way

[void tartan]

Pablo is being very plumble

[frozen kite]

plumble

[modern coral]

Pablo R3D1, tho.

It wasn't very fun, but it was a change of pace.

[lost lynx]

actually

@frozen kite is R3C1 okay?

i tried to do it yesterday

but got my ass kicked at the end

[frozen kite]

sure, i remember like none of it

[blissful dome]

hmmm

[frozen kite]

fog with mommy i think

[rose nova]

nah

[balmy moat]

R3D1 first clear

[blissful dome]

? c1 what

[blissful dome]

que

[modern coral]

New strike challenge mode maybe 2hrs

[serene jewel]

What's the most ammo efficient main weapon

[wraith marsh]

depends on what youre fighting and how good you are at it

[rich whale]

imagining that ur pro at the weapon what would it be

[wraith marsh]

general answer is hel revo

[rich whale]

weapon against small ones and weapon against big ones

[wraith marsh]

if youre fighting smalls and dont use pen then double tap

hel shotgun is very efficient but its a very close range shotgun so

big shit is technically sawed off as well

[rich whale]

hm

ig that makes some sense

[mystic moss]

ammo efficiency shouldn't really play a major role in your weapon choice tbh

[rose nova]

its kinda all about what u like and what u feel comfy with

if suck at headshots like me even if dmr was the best weapon in the game it would still suck on my hands

[rich whale]

still curious tho

[manic spire]

[e-mail]

i saw thjis email in a log

and emailed it

and got scared it replied lol

good job to the devs honestly lol

[rose nova]

did it replied? what did it said

[manic spire]

can i dm you the screenshot

or is there somewhere to send it

[rose nova]

probs um gtfo media or if its lore relevant lore

like if it says some funk detail

[manic spire]

wheres those channels

[thick temple]

#gtfo-media

#gtfo-lore

media has a 5 minute slow mode which i think you probably just noticed lol

[manic spire]

yeah lmfao

[rich whale]

what pairs well with sawed off shotgun?

[rose nova]

probs somethin with a biggish mag or reload to counter the small mag and huge dmg on the sawed off, like a revolver to pick out smalls, a machinegun to take more a horde, the heavy assault rifle to tap it, maybs even like a combat shottie or a hel gun...

[lunar island]

@sharp owl if you are interested in learning the lore, id recommend reading the "for dummies" document in the pins of #gtfo-lore

I would also be happy to answer any questions there

[sharp siren]

Any other special

But saw off goes hard when you specialize on boss/giant killing

[rose nova]

sawed off sniper

max less range

[last parrot]

sawed off scatter

entirely unhinged

[normal lake]

this is how the doom slayer was awoken

[sharp siren]

Doom guy kinda snipe people with a shotgun

[cursive bane]

wtf that first alarm door on R2B1

ah hell nah bro

what the fuck is that

[sharp siren]

The class 7?

[cursive bane]

nah

the first one with the banging on the door

[sharp siren]

Oh the blood doors

Scary door

[cursive bane]

I openned it and I saw a mix between a charger and a spiter

idk what it does

[sharp owl]

Very scawy

[sharp siren]

R2b1 chargers 😭

[sharp owl]

So what you do is you place a mine there and get a 17x kill

[cursive bane]

I did

[sharp owl]

Those wre called hybrids

[sharp siren]

Mines make easy work of blood doors

[sharp owl]

They have gatling guns on their heads

[sharp siren]

80% of the time theyre basic strikers/shooters with hybrids

[sharp owl]

And you're supposed to absolutely fucking demolish then with firepower because they deserve nothing less than suffering in hell

[sharp siren]

Wich is the spitter you mention

[cursive bane]

Spitter ?

[sharp owl]

You said spitter

[cursive bane]

Hybrids = spitter ?

[sharp siren]

Yes

[sharp owl]

No

Hybrids = Hybrids

[cursive bane]

Can I headshot it ?

[sharp siren]

Theyre called hybrids

[sharp owl]

Yes

[cursive bane]

okay

same hp as a giant ?

[sharp siren]

Spitters are a different enemy youll encounter later

[sharp owl]

More

[sharp siren]

150

More of a giant

[sharp owl]

120vs150

Because of course why would we give it the same hp we need this enemy to murder you

[sharp siren]

1 headshot of sniper rifle takes care of them

Theyre really easy to kill

[sharp owl]

Take your attention away from the 4 strikers kicking ur ass and deal with mee waaaah I'm so special

[cursive bane]

oof

[sharp owl]

Sorry i jus have pent up anger from c1

[cursive bane]

you hate em

[sharp siren]

R1c1?

[sharp owl]

Yes

[sharp siren]

You kidding right

Weve trained you!

[sharp owl]

True soloing it

[sharp siren]

Bruh

[cursive bane]

idk I did it with friends that carried me so

[sharp owl]

Listen you either instakill it or you are not allowed to aim anymore

Because of the massive flinch

[sharp siren]

Go back to og r1 and just hs dmr 20 strikers

And just circle kite

[cursive bane]

tbh If I start taking damage i freak out in this game

[sharp siren]

If your taking damage always just go behind cover

[cursive bane]

sure

[sharp siren]

Or if you cant just make distance

The second you start strafing shooter projectiles danger goes down to 0

[cursive bane]

idk how to strafe

I mean

left right left

omfg I killed every ennemi exept the giant during the alarm III

4 giants.

I got from 100% to 20%

they hae very good range ;-;

How do I manage giant ?

[coarse grail]

Take something like sniper, shotgun, choke mod, scattergun

[junior latch]

Move

hel rifle is so good on r1c1 solo honestly

[cursive bane]

well I'll try. Can I dodge the lick attacks from giants and scav ?

[coarse grail]

idk what scav is but yeah you can strafe giants more easily than normal enemies, but what I usually do is just stagger them to interrupt their attack by shooting them

[cursive bane]

scavengers

[junior latch]

Would you say so?

I feel like giant licks are harder to avoid distance wise

scavengers?

[cursive bane]

the melee ones

what's their name

[flat perch]

striker

[cursive bane]

oof okay

thanks

[coarse grail]

depends at what range you are to it I guess

at long range it would be harder yeah

[flat perch]

whenever there's a lick incoming, start moving tangentially any direction, u can even "circle in" a bit to get the angle steeper

[junior latch]

dont go to steep tho

Youll go into the circle and get hit anyway ;-;

[flat perch]

even if u get behind an obstacle, furniture, railing, wall .. don't stop. sometimes the tongues do da funni bend

[cursive bane]

wdym by tangentially ? Like, diagnaly ?

[flat perch]

with ||tanks|| u can go 5cm behind a lamp post and he'll miss 😄

[sharp siren]

He dony know what that is yet

[flat perch]

yup, looking at giant infront of ya, he starts the hulk glow hiss, turn 90 left or right and run, might even wanna jump after a few steps

[cursive bane]

yeah I see

[flat perch]

.. get your stamina well spent to get hit anyway 😄

[cursive bane]

x)

[flat perch]

with the small ones, let them run to u, once they stop and start lickin, just hold a or d and keep looking at him. you'll quarter -circle to his side and his tongue will miss by a meter or more

[cursive bane]

thanks

still have trouble avoiding projectiles but it's ok

[flat perch]

if u can see the shot coming at u .. wait for it to be like 1-2 meters from u, then shake mouse, left right left

missed.

u can look right and hit "a" to strafe left a step, u'll see the projectile fly past your eyes

[junior latch]

or simple move while looking at it

if you wanna be rly sure once close enough just suddenly move from left to right or opposite depending on where you went

[cursive bane]

Okay thanks.Next question ❤️

...I kinda did hit a giant with my body and he hit me instantly

I think he has ultra instinct in his sleep

[flat perch]

bump wakeup is instant lick/punch

[cursive bane]

it's like a goomba, I hit him and instanly lost 40% of my hp

oo

fuck

[flat perch]

making fov a bit bigger helps (me) to estimate distance

[frigid charm]

giants are so strong
you better keep the distance even in the melee fight while charging ur attack

[flat perch]

not many accidental bumps

[cursive bane]

I have always the highest fov

[cursive bane]

Yeah np. I just dont know what to do when I'm solo and there is two giant standing next to each

[flat perch]

comes naturally with repetition, hours in and u know when to stop

[cursive bane]

I'll just melee one in the head then run away

like a bitch

[junior latch]

Shoot

[flat perch]

melee head shoot back until dead then lead the other to a mine trap

[junior latch]

get behind one (or both) then blast

Mines are so inefficient on giants

[cursive bane]

and if I wanna stay low I should just leave em alone

[frigid charm]

you better not play solo lol
but in this situation kill everyone else in the room first and then just shot the giants lol

[flat perch]

2 high mines and ~1 shot

tool expensive ye

[junior latch]

think on whether you need to kill them (alarm adjacent) and if yes when

eh solo is fun at times

With bots it becomes a tad tedious tho

[frigid charm]

2 mines < couple of medipacks xdd

[flat perch]

if u have cfoam mine or gren, freeze other, bonk shoot one and then repeat the other

[junior latch]

2 mines > 1 shotgun mag (if at all)

honestly most guns can kill giants so quickly if you burst from behind

even mains

[flat perch]

very true

[frigid charm]

playing with bots is hilarious in some moments, but generally they are too dumb
they can just fuck up your stealth by starting to shoot or just not help do some stealth kills

[frigid charm]

fair point

[flat perch]

bots shooting i dont mind, bots crouching and getting killed not minding i do

[junior latch]

Bots shooting doesnt wake up anything

bots generally cant wake up stuff

[flat perch]

if bots think its still stealth time when it clearly isnt.. fire a shot, walk away. theyll go combat, run after u shooting like chads

r7c2 overload pulled like so, only 1 bot got bbc'ed

[junior latch]

also bots arent intended to do stealth with you

They do cover you sometimes. The only sad part is when they run melee into awoken giants and dont hit. But for actual giant take downs you could always just stagger chain until they help

[frigid charm]

didnt know that
then its little strange, abt what happens with me

[junior latch]

Should a bot hit/shove a sleeping enemy that one will go into a pseudo state

It will „stand“ around but not scream etc

honestly the only thing i dont know exactly is whether they count for screams (as in whether they allow sleepers to scream if 1 room away or same room)

[cursive bane]

Is the game serious when he send me 6 giants ?

Idk how to kill thoses things bruh, I guess someone in the team HAS to have a sniper

?

[flat perch]

6 giants need some bullets ye. hel rifle nice if u can line them up

[cursive bane]

Like the jump is comical lmao.

I got from having some melees in the end of a mission to like

6 gigachad titans walking at me like theres nothing and beating me to death

[sharp siren]

Cannot wake enemies up
Depends on some hidden factors and distance

They can help you clear a kill here amd there but that implies you slow down your stealth clear

Wich its not recommended

[cursive bane]

why the precision rifle does only 13 ?

[wispy bluff]

Because it has 1.3x precision bonus. Most guns don't pass 1.0.
It used to deal 11.

It exclusively exists to deal with smalls and maybe occasionally deal with giant shooters or hybrids.

[cursive bane]

I see

but I still oneshot giants or in 2 shots ?

1 in the head and one in the shoulder

[wispy bluff]

Not sure what you're saying

[flat perch]

giant striker 120hp, u can calc it with the back and crit bonuses

there are sheets that get it right, i won't 😄

[wispy bluff]

PR headshot on giant deals 25.35 dmg.
50.7 with flank.

PR shouldn't really deal with giants if it can help it

Just mag dump the guy if you have to.

[flat perch]

mind u, full melee back of head is a solid 60, usually 4-5 helrev shots to back to finish it off, so i agree with artek

just get behind, start with the head, dump as much ammo to his back as able

(and not all full melees do 60, i know .. i'm a hammer-lifer) (correction: no-lifer)

[junior latch]

Shoot, move, shoot

6 giants can be a tad scary but just hit and run them

[sharp owl]

The biggest threat here is running out of ammo

By the way can i say that regarding giants I really don't like the sound they make before tounging u

It's a very unnatural sloshing sound

[analog flicker]

Killing scouts I suppose but

Melee exists

[sharp owl]

im not a dumby 😦

https://tenor.com/view/sad-walk-gif-24718162

[sharp owl]

breh there is 5 sleepers on each others dicks how tf do i do this stealth

[rose nova]

get with ur team to take out as many as u can, if ur with bots try to go for the farthest and kill whatev wakes up with help of the bots

[silk blade]

Knife

[wispy bluff]

Knife... Team sync kills... Just getting gut with efficient charging.

I don't know if "only one guy wakes up" applies to tight clusters.

[late karma]

it is very rare that 5 are so close that they wake up from a kill

1. sync 2. shine your light on just 1 3. Kill one who doesn't have one super close 4. Kill the one you shined your light on 5. Stop moving

if they are not all cuddling this will work without waking up others

[late karma]

If a guy would wake up from a kill anyways because he is to close No but if he would only wake up if he is glowing yes

[modern coral]

Also, if you get one prox aggro, that isn't going to chain into the other 5.

Like, if the cluster of 5 is a straight line, it is probably all doubles or triples if you start at an edge.

[ivory radish]

is it random if awakened enemy will scream? sometimes i can kill 4-6 enemys in meele, all awake without alerting the wohle room?!

[wispy bluff]

No, every awake enemy will attempt to scream at some point, but they never do it as their first action.

[true pilot]

when an enemy wakes up they get a random timer, after that timer is up they will be allowed to scream

[wispy bluff]

Their first action is either to attack or to do evasive maneuveres, so it takes like 3-4 seconds for them to actually scream.

[true pilot]

honestly i feel like sometimes they just decide to scream immiedieatly

[ivory radish]

Thats some nice info, so its not that bad to wake up 3-4 enemys if you can simply kill them in a few seconds

also something weird i noticed while using high powered pistol. i point the crosshair perfectly and shoot at a enemy that is 40-50 meters away and its just like nothing happens? is there maybe strong bullet drop?

[rose nova]

high cal has 8 m of range and a fallout end of 65
if ur shootin it at 50 meters i doubt it does any, substantial dmg tbh

[ivory radish]

omg youre right! so its mostly a close range weapon

[rose nova]

yeah, if u want same dmg but more range i would probs pick a hel rifle or somethin like that

has 40 m range and 80 falloff end

[wispy bluff]

Pretty much, yeah. Close-to-mid range. If you want longer range but same firepower - HEL Rifle is basically an upgrade in that department.

[rose nova]

there really isnt a more perfect choice for that dmg n that range
well chokemod but, its a shotgun, it can have tight spread but it is less range

[serene jewel]

does spam shoving stop a sleeper from screaming

[sharp owl]

it does

[wispy bluff]

It does

At the very least seen a guy with a hammer do that. Just bullying a sleeper for 30 seconds straight.

[earnest forge]

It does

[serene jewel]

[sharp owl]

yeah you can just bully em

and tell your team to come kill it

[serene jewel]

I'll have to spam shove the ones that wake up

cause that's usually what happens

can't kill fast enough

[sharp owl]

hm

[earnest forge]

Or you wait until your teamates kill all the other enemies in the room, and then you finish it.

[sharp owl]

in stealth speed is rarely an issue

the problem usually is taking too long

not being too speedy

[serene jewel]

maybe, but my teammates definitely won't kill them so I have to at least stop them from waking the whole room

should be able to charge a hammer enough to kill one after a shove stagger right

[sharp owl]

water spray ur team

[serene jewel]

no water, only bullets

and I'd rather not waste it on them

[sharp owl]

i dont think so

[serene jewel]

until extract

damn

[sharp owl]

may i recommend tapping their occi

or charging on the way to them

[serene jewel]

do you lose if you wipe as an extract scan finishes

[sharp owl]

tapping their occi will break off their head and give you a solid second

[wraith marsh]

Don't need to shove period

Just smack em

[sharp owl]

yeah shoving is pretty redundant

[serene jewel]

it's cause they scream while I'm charging

[sharp owl]

hit em

if you have a sledgehammer or a bat just hit them if they're waking up

[wraith marsh]

Light tap

[serene jewel]

I'll keep that in mind

[sharp owl]

your melee weapons can stagger sleepers

with a light tap

aim at their head and light tap until

1. They die
2. Their head breaks, which gives you 1 second to charge up a finishing blow

there is also some timing required with light taps

[serene jewel]

oh

[sharp owl]

because you cant stagger a staggered enemy

[serene jewel]

oh wait no I got that

thought you meant I should charge just a little

[sharp owl]

not a bad thing to do but yeah not what i meant

[lusty river]

Mfw people don't realize blood doors can have alarms too, like where are you going?!

[sharp owl]

also to prevent interruptions of sleepitime try not to hit any sleepers while others are glowing

if it's glowing, it's listening

and it can hear you sledgehammer its friend

and it will wake

[lusty river]

They should add soap to the game and when the sleepers are up, they slip and fall

But then that would make me slip and fall

[sharp owl]

they should add soldiers with IQs larger than 6

[lusty river]

So real

[sharp owl]

i will never stop wanting the ability to just turn on a LRF and just leave it on the ground to light up dark areas

and similar obvious strategies

[ivory radish]

should you shoot enemys that do the evade animation or is that a waste of ammo?

[sharp owl]

well

if you can hit them it's not a waste of ammo

but they are harder to hit + they're not a threat right now so you can focus on other sleepers

[ionic rune]

bruh im stuck at R2D1 for 3 whole days

[latent spruce]

stick on R5C2 for 3 weeks...

[rose nova]

how bout to r8e1 2 years

[rose nova]

ok not it is a hard level i get ur struggles

[true pilot]

laughs in R8F1

[rose nova]

:[

[ionic rune]

too many poisonous fogs and scouts

cant even melee the scouts due to how many enemies are near the scouts or in the room + the damn fog

around like 18-25 enemies in each room like tf is this

including 2-4 scouts

[true pilot]

yeah

not fun

the level itself has like 7 scouts

[ionic rune]

honestly how tf do u do about that?

[true pilot]

you can look up a guide on youtube

but also

[ionic rune]

put sentries and snipe the scouts or something?

[true pilot]

regarding scoots

the level really gives you a lot of ammo, so shooting up rooms isnt a terrible idea

[ionic rune]

its just gameplay no guides about each and specific missions

[ionic rune]

thats gotta be a lie

[true pilot]

profesor scaler has a guide about it

[ionic rune]

all i got was glowsticks and fog repeller

[true pilot]

it is not

[true pilot]

use terminals

[ionic rune]

its either far away or just next room of the rooms i/we cant beat

[true pilot]

and also dont expect to find 8 uses of ammo in a single zone, but really ammo isnt a big issue on the level

health is where shit is hard

[true pilot]

if ammo is in a room beyond a diff room, either stealth past the room or shoot it and use the ammo afterwards

you can also try to melee enemies when only some remain

[balmy moat]

Try R7D1 speedruns 😭

[ionic rune]

how do u kill 2 scouts at the same time?

immediately wakes up

[true pilot]

melee one

[balmy moat]

Melee

Both at the same time

By 1 person

[ionic rune]

what if its impossible to melee one of them or both of them due to 18-25 enemies surrounding it?

including giant ones

[true pilot]

you can shoot both at the same time with a diff person but it is very tricky

[balmy moat]

Why shoot when you can melee double kill

[ionic rune]

...

read

[balmy moat]

[lusty river]

Why shoot when you can shove them

[true pilot]

if you can melee one, you just shoot the other/melee it too, if you cant you shoot one and deal with the other scoot scream

[balmy moat]

Wasn't referring to y our comment

But now regarding it just shoot it tbh

[ionic rune]

im the scout killer in my group, others are too scared of screwing up etc i just happened to kill scouts during our first gameplay 2-3 times melee sucessfully and well they always leave me to deal with scouts

[wraith marsh]

So true

[ionic rune]

but i cant melee them when over 20 enemies surrounding it lol

[balmy moat]

I'm assuming they are normal scouts?

[true pilot]

so id recomend on some other levels to have the rest of your team practice killing scouts, as it helps to have everyone capable of taking down a scout

[balmy moat]

Just hel rifle

[ionic rune]

what u mean normal scouts

[lusty river]

Hel rifle my beloved

[ionic rune]

scouts are scouts

[balmy moat]

No

[ionic rune]

medusa, tentacles

[true pilot]

he doesnt know

[balmy moat]

There are regular scouts

[true pilot]

dont spoil

DONT SPOIL

[lusty river]

He doesn’t know!!!!

[balmy moat]

Well

[ionic rune]

THERE ARE OTHER SCOUTS?!

WHAT

[true pilot]

m a y b e

shush

[balmy moat]

That info would've served handy wouldn't it?

[ionic rune]

WAKANDA SCOUTS ARE THERE?

[balmy moat]

Based on this reaction just use hel rifle

[true pilot]

you really like hel rifle dont you?

[balmy moat]

No

I am not a hel rifle enjoyer like chill

[true pilot]

there are like 20 guns that can kill scouts

and you keep recomending it

[balmy moat]

You are forgetting it's a double scout

[wraith marsh]

It can kill 2

[balmy moat]

Typical first timers probably won't be able to time it fast enough to do single kills back to back

I don't think you considered that @true pilot

[rose nova]

i doubt the scouts in the tiles of thes level line up, ever

but

maybs my skill issue

[wraith marsh]

Vox axiom 1

[ionic rune]

holy fuck i just googled the scouts and theres 3 of them, charged scout which is apparently looks like more black version of it, and shadow ones

[rose nova]

bruh

spoilin urself

[balmy moat]

Can't blame me anymore

[rose nova]

i blame u for mentionin it

[balmy moat]

Went along and just searched it up

[ionic rune]

wym spoiling myself yall told me about it

[lusty river]

No more surprises 😭

[balmy moat]

I mean

You can't

[rose nova]

no but

eh

[balmy moat]

It's crucial information necessary

[rose nova]

mhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[lusty river]

Charger scouts are my fav

[rose nova]

u went and searched what they were

so

skill issue

[lusty river]

Shadow scouts stink

[rose nova]

for havin curiosity

[balmy moat]

2 charger scouts are different than 2 normal ones

So...

[true pilot]

i did not think you can line them up

[balmy moat]

Ofc you can

[ionic rune]

how tf do u kill charger scouts? normal chargers hit them at the back i get that but what about charger scouts?

[true pilot]

2 people hit them in the back, cfoam and melee, or gun

[ionic rune]

arent they armored at the head?

[wraith marsh]

Charging!

[earnest forge]

The real chads hit them with two synchronous hits to the back

[balmy moat]

Yea who tf uses cfoam

[true pilot]

huh in R2D1 specifically?

[lusty river]

Go loud and proud or cfoam them, or if you’re confident enough no cfoam and 2 melee hits without melee boosters

[ionic rune]

almost pooped my pants when i first saw chargers but never seen charger scouts or the big ones

[balmy moat]

If they don't make a line you create the line

[burnt flume]

sync hitting them is so easy

[balmy moat]

Unless the scouts have completely different nodes

[ionic rune]

melee boosters?

[balmy moat]

Then you are fucked

[burnt flume]

works every time

[true pilot]

...how

[balmy moat]

Just melee well

/stealth well

[ionic rune]

apparently there are syringes too

[balmy moat]

Reposition

How else?

[true pilot]

how the fuck do i reposition a scout

[balmy moat]

No

[ionic rune]

are the syringes permanent or lasts how many ? seconds/minutes?

[balmy moat]

Bozo reposition yourself

[wraith marsh]

We should add to voxs axiom

[lusty river]

Can my bots do that for me 🥺

[wraith marsh]

Ngl

[balmy moat]

The amount of people that just stand still waiting is actually crazy

[burnt flume]

I was about to make a nice graphic but NO EMBED PERMS

[earnest forge]

I am going to be honest, I have not attempted it yet :D

[true pilot]

i still dont think you could line up scouts in R2D1 most of the time

[lusty river]

😆

[balmy moat]

Then just stealth well

[true pilot]

due to them being on diff elevations and sometimes behind walls

[ionic rune]

can u syncronize hit with bots?

[true pilot]

yeah i know, but i just mean in terms of hel rifle

[balmy moat]

I said this earlier breh

[true pilot]

depends what
