gtfo-chat

[silk blade]

i guess that makes more sense

[blissful dome]

[silk blade]

idk gtfo is unoptimized i guess

they should stop it from being unoptimized maybe

it would be cool, i think

[blissful dome]

no way

[rose nova]

considerin the graphics on this game and the missions and, quantity of stuff goin on for the most part
the fact that it even opens on my pc its already a miracle so i think thats cool, maybe

[little ridge]

Just jump before bonk if you somehow sometimes dont hit the head properly with hammer

Remember NOT to do that if the scout's head is VERY close to a ceiling

since because of the arc, the hammer will hit that first and alert the scout istantly

[analog flicker]

More so if the sleeper wakes up. Wasn't saying that for which jump. Proxi wake up still happens with scouts too

[thick temple]

for some dumb reason
i am trying to learn the long names of all the guns
and the tools
and let me tell you the sentry names are fucked (except auto)

[rose nova]

why qwq

not why the names of the sentries are a fuck- i think ik

but why u wanna learn em qwq

[thick temple]

Tbh, idk lol
I think it started with learning the level names, made flash cards to help lol
Then I saw I think a few different people in here use the long names and I decided to wanted to be able to know which one they were talking about without looking them up
And that turned into just knowing all the long names for some reason, not just the guns

[rose nova]

man i am so bad with cscouts

how am i so bad

[lost lynx]

dont worry

i am worse

remember that time i missed a point blank shotgun shot?

[rose nova]

... that was a normal scout

:b

not a cscout

[junior latch]

take bc, choke or scattergun

problem solved

[lost lynx]

no c-foam?

c foam and then stabby stab

[rose nova]

its r6d2

so um

i prefer

not

shootin ksmdkms

qwq

[lost lynx]

ooooh

i can help you with that level

i recently did it

[rose nova]

i do cfoam
but

fuck

i always fumble it

somehow

[lost lynx]

if you are in the funny room

wait until one of scouts comes down the stairs

[rose nova]

...

i dont

what

w what

[lost lynx]

you are not in the funny room?

[rose nova]

i mean its

a room

and it has stairs

but i doubt they go into the stairs ngl

[lost lynx]

they do

[rose nova]

that or i wait, 7 years

[lost lynx]

they do more than you think

[rose nova]

bruh qwq

[junior latch]

big room with 6 or the ones with them + others

if its the big room

legit just kill one

others aggro

run through (straight line through pillars from stair case) and kill others when they run for you
then funnel charger waves with hel rifle

takes away the scary factor quite a lot

[rose nova]

damn

...

idk

ksmkdm

sounds way more easy than it probs is

tbh idk what id prefer with bots doin that or just, tryin to foam em

[junior latch]

tbh you are playing with only bots right?

in that case prob prop down a sentry

the hardest part to me has always bene not getting hit by the charger scouts

but the chargers themselves arent that bad

its the most free penetratin youll ever see

and obviously, if you want you can take out 1-2 more with foam first

[rose nova]

mhh

do u think the, other path would b worse for bots

cause id, id imagine it is

i mean i only saw it once tbh i already kinda forgotten i just remember it spawns a mom

[junior latch]

the mom path with 2 blood doors?

it depends on how comfy you are soloing mom

i solod r6d2 with hel revo and shotgun
made soloing mom decently comfy and was good enough to deal with charger t scan

after mom its rly just mining + sentries

[rose nova]

mhh idk i should maybs try
i mean last time i tried, soloing a mom, i had to run at her with a bat
but it could be different now cause i use hammer for this level

:D

[junior latch]

tbh bat works well vs mom too

also omfg

im finally done with the brazil skip video

[rose nova]

eyyyy :]

i wanna see it

show it or ill go to ur house and replace ur plates with bowls

[junior latch]

i gotta upload tmrw

its 2am

and its 34 min long (well tbf like 28 of that are of the run)

The worst thing, i had to redo like 50% of the video because some files accidentally got deleted

[rose nova]

oh qwq
pain
at least it didnt get like corrupted which wouldve been worse

[junior latch]

well

the files being deleted

corrupted 50% of the video

[rose nova]

ah

but not the same way i was sayin skdmkm
at least u could fix that one which, thank god KMSKDM

[livid yoke]

is Nemesis the only proper boss level?

[lost lynx]

yes

[livid yoke]

awwwwwwwwwwwww :(

is the mother level any good or not because thats meant to be a boss sort of isnt it?

[rose nova]

mother? is thatttt r7d1?

[livid yoke]

no its r3

[rose nova]

or u mean

[livid yoke]

i think

[true pilot]

R7D1 isnt a typical boss level

[rose nova]

oh r3b2

just as in mother level

it kinda is

but also kinda not

[livid yoke]

whats on r7d1?

[rose nova]

ah nothin

no boss but

[lost lynx]

nothing

[rose nova]

funky level

[livid yoke]

shame

[rose nova]

but well mom is not really a boss, more a miniboss or special enemy

r7 kinda has a boss in E1

but

ah

[livid yoke]

what like?

id love to see more bosses like r6d1 cause that last fight was so great

and which rundowns should i try beat with friends next? finished all of the R6 rundown now so I wanna know what i should look for to get the best experience next

[gusty burrow]

If you enjoyed R6 then R7 will scratch a lot of the same itches.

R1-R3 will likely feel a bit more barebones (fewer enemy types and mechanics going on, but there's still a lot of great levels). R4 and R5 will likely feel like a lot more of a slog, levels in R4 and R5 are generally much longer than those in R6, and do not feature checkpoints.

[rose nova]

and are also way harder

[gusty burrow]

sure, by some definitions of hard

[rose nova]

:3

they hard

[serene jewel]

🍆

[gilded zinc]

how i can join ina party with the IP number? i am lokking but not found the option

[rose nova]

u copy it, u open GTFO, inject and right under training there should be a button after a few seconds that says "Join blah from clipboard" or somethin among those lines

[silk blade]

you are talking about the lobby id right

[gilded zinc]

yes

[gilded zinc]

really that option not is in my game, i go show urs a pic

[rose nova]

makeee sure the ID its well copied with no spaces and only the numbers
and if it still doesnt appear it might be that the lobby needs to be remade, and u can restart GTFO and verify tthe files from steam in the meantime probs

[gilded zinc]

https://prnt.sc/HH8Yb4GSXJKC that is all i see, i have not the opcion for write the IP

[rose nova]

u dont need to write it anywhere

the button just appears when it detects it on ur clipboard

[gilded zinc]

ohhh i undestand, thnks! this game is very strange!

[rose nova]

is a funny but effective way to join lobbies

[little ridge]

To be fair, considering how often this question comes up, I wonder if it wouldn't have been better if they just added an empty field

[wispy bluff]

Oh neat, GTFO no longer wants to launch

[rose nova]

does it not?

ive been opening it a coupletimes its been fine

[wispy bluff]

it crashes on the welcome screen

increasing graphics to medium was lethal, apparently, heh

oh, steam crashed too

alright, something's up...

Okay, restarting PC fixed it. Weird.

[silk blade]

Not weird

Average

At least for gtfo

[rose nova]

but gtfo wasnt even the problem in this case

what r u on lately skdmkm

not every problem humanity has faced its problem of gtfo

[analog flicker]

GTFO is the cause of my crippling depression. You can't tell me otherwise

[silk blade]

I woke up today and stubbed my toe, then got out of bed. This wouldn't have happened if I had slept better. I did not sleep well because my GTFO level went longer than expected last night.

GTFO is in fact the root of all my problems

[junior latch]

@rose nova video live

[rose nova]

ur video cursed me and made the lights on all my house go away :D

[junior latch]

LOL

[rose nova]

such good timing kdmskdm

[odd mantle]

alguem ai que fale português, afim de joga?

[rose nova]

buenas, podei chechar #hc-latin-america para un server de GTFO en portugues

[junior latch]

it is either that good or that bad

[rose nova]

the quality overpowered the grid

i had to restart to reactor

funny gtfo reference

:]

[unreal crystal]

Someone should ask djdna his opinion on it

hope he comes back soon…

[burnt flume]

Dj and azert have been MIA

Must've gotten lost in the great deserts out back

[unreal crystal]

who’s gonna tell ppl to stand on scans and shoot enemies now…

And that all the levels are easy…

[burnt flume]

Well, you see...

It's me, I'm the one saying all levels are easy

[unreal crystal]

maybe they are when u no life the game

but jimmy456 doesn’t need to be flexed on when he works a 9-5 and plays the game with his friends once every 3 days for a couple hours

[mystic moss]

I BEAT R7 CHECKPOINTLESS, CAN YOU?

[burnt flume]

I sympathise with jimmy

I beat Brazil skip, can you?

[unreal crystal]

I love that guy vox

good on him for being proud of his achievement

Hope he can beat the other rundowns soon

[hardy garnet]

whats the achievements for?

[rose nova]

nothin :3

they r test achievements

no way to get em

[hardy garnet]

oohhh

[carmine shoal]

i have completely forgotten how to play this game.

[rose nova]

u can always replay the tutorial to refreshen

and for funs

[lost lynx]

WASD to move

and mouse to look around

[rose nova]

:D

[carmine shoal]

could it really be so simple -_- wasd to move? How do I know it isn't jikl

[sharp siren]

escape press on exit

[rose nova]

maybs its the arrow keys to move

:o

[lost lynx]

[sharp owl]

pablo but real

[brave mortar]

is this game popular rn?

[rose nova]

well not rn, it was popular when it came out in 2021
but it still has people playin it and its still alives

[earnest forge]

GTFO is, and has always been, a niche game. It is not for everyone, and requires a certain mindset from the players to enjoy and stick to it.
Nevertheless, many of us are still here four years later, and are currently waiting for the upcoming conclusion of the characters story, with Rundown 8.

[trim heath]

tbh part of the niche is just the amount of time that needs to be set aside

I dont even log in unless I can spend like an hour or two

[junior latch]

well

many games wish for you to spend at least around an hour for an actual experience

[brave mortar]

thats how long missions take?

[trim heath]

not necessarily

most are in and out in 30-40 mins but between that and getting the lobby set up etc...

[rose nova]

about
some missions are 30, shorter ones, average when u start out its about an hour or so
longer ones can beee 1 30, 2 hours depending on how slow u take it

[trim heath]

there are also missions that you either are doing fast or you're just dead

[junior latch]

the general (not quick or slow pace) for missions on average is between 45 and 60 minutes

theres a lot that average easily below 30 with no issues at all and some that go to 90 minutes even for better players

2 hours is like the top of the longer missions for average gameplay if you take it safe

but generally you can expect a mission to be less than 60 minutes

[median cedar]

It sucksss when you’re at the end of like a 90 min run and die

[wicked solstice]

laughs in Occi D tiers

[junior latch]

it does
But it also sweetens getting the clear next time (usually)

not if its for bs reasons tbf or like 99% before end

[wicked solstice]

or both

R2D1 spitterbug moment

[lost lynx]

Dak

[median cedar]

True

[lost lynx]

do you still shoot children?

[wicked solstice]

bruh what

[lost lynx]

man i lost the clip were you say "shoot the children"

[wicked solstice]

dude that was 7 months ago

Let the bit die

[lost lynx]

3*

[wicked solstice]

Day before R4 alt I stg

Either way

On occasion

In Occlusion

Tbh I rarely touch vanilla these days

[sterile minnow]

The warden really be out here putting me in situations

[lofty grotto]

Don’t worry…. I’ll still try my best to finish it all soundless

Regardless of how long it takes

[wicked solstice]

o7 good luck soldier

[simple laurel]

Does anyone have any tips for solo running gtfo?

[sterile minnow]

Bout ready to develop some tips after sitting by myself in a lobby for about 30 minutes

[rose nova]

well um depends kinda on the level
but usually, hammer cause its best and easy on scouts and bigs plus saves ammo on runnin
guns, depends but, flexibility usually its best
stealth, try ur best lol skmdk to not wake anything up
and to start try r1b1, its probs the easiest one, or r1a1

[simple laurel]

I've completed rundowns 1, 2, and 3 with friends but I want to start solo running because they're not as avalible as I am

but thank you for the tips

[rose nova]

oh

then u can, try levels with bots too

some, most

[gusty burrow]

Solo solo, or solo with bots? And also, you should perhaps consider just finding matches in public lobbies, not as good as with friends, but I think more enjoyable than by yourself.

[simple laurel]

I would like to run true solo. I've considered joining public lobbies, but I'm not the greatest at GTFO so I'm a little nervous I would be a hinderance rather and helping.

[pine root]

If you have completed r2 with friends you will be fine in pubs def not the worst player

[gusty burrow]

^
There's a wide skill range in pubs, including a decent amount of brand new players who'd have way less experience than you.

[simple laurel]

Ok, Ill try pubs

[safe raven]

Hi.
I would like to get a more permanent group together to complete all the various rundowns with, but I notice all the lfg chats are just people looking for specific missions. Is there anywhere here I could post for that sort of thing, or is my best bet just looking for individual missions and asking if they'd like to form a group?

[lost lynx]

your best bet is the last one

whats your time zone btw?

[safe raven]

UK (GMT)

[rose nova]

u can always just dm the people u played with again askin if they wanna play again someday

[silk blade]

Have 3 friends with GTFO

Make sure the four of you have one day a week that you are all free

[shut vapor]

Don't have 3 friends with gtfo

find 3 friends in gtfo

[mystic moss]

real

[pine root]

Gtfo filters your friends

1/4 retention rate

[naive maple]

Greetings

I just randomly decided I'd get into GTFO, so I bought it and god bless

Now, to find someone to play with

[shut vapor]

welcome

check out the lfg channels

[naive maple]

Aye. Not entirely sure what that is, but I reckon I'll find out

Thank you mister

[shut vapor]

.t lfg

[foggy plank]

Hello! If you are unaware, we have Looking For Group (LFG) channels to help users group up and play the game. They are located here: #lfg-north-america / #lfg-latin-america / #lfg-eastern-europe / #lfg-western-europe / #lfg-asia / #lfg-oceania / #lfg-africa / #lfg-beginners.

If you are unsure of how to create or join a lobby, please see the instructions here: #how-to-matchmake.

[naive maple]

Neat. Thank you

[lost lynx]

remember to do the training first

and good luck

you will need a lot of it

[naive maple]

Aye, always. Already did : )

[velvet shard]

man this game makes me sweaty so fast lol

[rose nova]

:D

its so stressful

i love it

[velvet shard]

I can't play too many games in a row yet its not good for my heart

[rose nova]

skmdkm its ok games designed for like one two runs

and then

sleep

[normal lake]

Meanwhile me and my friends

We get one opportunity every month and when we game we go for 8 hours straight

Fuckin stars gotta align for all of us to be free

[rose nova]

ok thats fair

[brave mortar]

[velvet shard]

can I cheat by cranking the brightness up to max?

[pine root]

“Cheat”

[normal lake]

id take every advantage you can get with settings

but generally brightness wont help you in this game

because the fucking lights will be blinding where there is light and you will be blind where there isnt regardless

[pine root]

No let him cook

You can go into the settings folder to make it even higher than you are allowed

[brave mortar]

is this game worth it still?

[rose nova]

id say yeh :3

as long as u like intense gameplay and sneaks and u have no problem playin with randoms or u have a friend group

[mellow violet]

If you have a friend group then 10x yes

[brave mortar]

friends... 💀

[rose nova]

u can always go lfg n find ur own group to play with

:>

[mellow violet]

Your experience may fluctuate from good to bad easily by playing with Randoms and or bots

[brave mortar]

I can't play by myself, I will bore myself to death.

and my fear of things increase by 10x

😂

[rose nova]

lol ksmdkm

[mellow violet]

If you are genuinely interested in the game you would put 500 hrs bots only

[brave mortar]

How long does it take to "complete" the game?

[rose nova]

umm depends a lot on the failed attempts and like, speed on which u do em
game rn has 71 missions or 72

[mellow violet]

Depends on how fast you adapt and learn

If i had to guess maybe 1000 hrs?

[brave mortar]

🤯

[rose nova]

somethin like that yeah

most missions can take like an hour, thats about average on a normal newie pace

some go 30 mins some go more than 1 and a half :b

[brave mortar]

I'm thinking about getting this game, so thank you guys. from what I've heard, it sounds like a game I'm going to like.

[mellow violet]

Good luck have fun

[pine root]

If you play in pubs you could finish the entire game very quickly

[brave mortar]

tyty

[brave mortar]

probably just gonna use the #lfg-beginners when I do get it.

[pine root]

Good idea for most of the game

[rose nova]

just as always
some advice :3
always ask to not be carried, make sure that everyone joinin ur lobby joins ur voice channel

[brave mortar]

what makes a good player different from a new player??

The guns? experience? Skills?

things like that

[rose nova]

the
experience n skills

[pine root]

Speed and consistency

[rose nova]

two things, the expeditions for the most part are always the same, so u retry it without like rng problems and all that, and if u know it by heart it becomes, boring to be told what to do at every turn

[brave mortar]

70 expeditions though right?

so its gonna take some time to know it by heart

I hope

[rose nova]

u well do stuff fast too

someone unplug the internet lol

[shut vapor]

There's only a limited number of objectives and mechanics in the game. Once you've seen something before you will know what to expect

[rose nova]

yes but, tbh its not that bad to remember em all

[shut vapor]

Simply remember all the names

[muted totem]

are all the rundowns similar?

[mellow violet]

Nope

Each has its own twist of objectives and lore

Also themes

[manic lagoon]

the lore is all connected im assuming right

[shut vapor]

Yes the worldlore is all the same.

The rundown lore is somewhat connected

[mellow violet]

Yes except there's 2 timelines

[shut vapor]

The timelines don't affect the worlds lore, only the order of events in the complex

[mellow violet]

This but photoshop my name and pfp over it

[shut vapor]

No

[trim sail]

man...

[crisp jungle]

Can the burst sentry burst cancel itself like if the first round kills like bots do or does it always fire the full burst?

[balmy moat]

It's not burst "canceling" but will automatically switch it's target + bullets when one enemy type is dead

Unlike the other sentries

You can find several clips about this regarding hel auto sentry + burst sentry testing in #gtfo-media

[opal cove]

Can someone just create the smart pistol from titan fall as a Mod so I can have stupendous amounts of fun thanks in advance

[crisp jungle]

Oh interesting, so it always fires the full burst but can swap the target mid burst thanks!

[balmy moat]

#gtfo-media message

[crisp jungle]

Oh that’s satisfying as hell

Thank you!

[serene jewel]

what happens when its first bullet kills and nothing else is there

I assume the other two just shoot anyway?

[balmy moat]

Yes

Once it shoots there is no stopping the burst

[serene jewel]

[balmy moat]

Just like how BC has no more burst cancelling

[shut jungle]

My game deciding a good time to freeze and stutter is during every firefight and every time I get hit

[sand yarrow]

probable video card driver issues

[silk blade]

Not if you are a bot. Bots can burst cancel and fire it like a semi auto

Nvm you meant a sentry not a gun

[serene jewel]

yes

my game has started freezing on the first melee hit of every game, that's kinda weird

[analog flicker]

Strange

[elfin cargo]

as a noob should i start w rundown 1?

[analog flicker]

Yes

[wispy bluff]

Ideally - yes. That way you will be steadily introduced to new mechanics and biomes instead of getting hit with all of them in something like rundown 7 and then wondering why half the things are not to be found in Rundown 1.

[soft lion]

anyoen willing to do r1d1 with me?

[untold cypress]

friend had to leave my game, how do I solo a specific portion of R6C1 ||the end bit in R6C1 where you're in the scan the whole time||

[rose nova]

with bots im guessin?

[wispy bluff]

I do hope with bots, yeah... Its perfectly doable, provided you got the right tools

[rose nova]

it's, not as hard plus u got a checkpoint right before

[wispy bluff]

You leave sentries on top of the hole, protecting the entrace to the stairs. They will pick up some targets there and there.

If you have cfoam - just spray it everywhere too. Mines... Not gonna do much, really.

Otherwise just stand in the scan and shoot monsters.

[rose nova]

also be prepared to press esc and reset bots

cause that scan usually makes em a bit funky

and u will need to get a bot out and back in maybs a couple times

i've had it happened every time i try the level

but if u do it fast it shouldn't be a problem at all

[untold cypress]

yessir

[untold cypress]

wait wdym

[wispy bluff]

I had no issues with bots on that portion

They stayed in the scan and that was that

[rose nova]

well sometimes a bot will like run off to whatev place

[wispy bluff]

Unfortunately they were big stupid on actually fighting the sleepers once they ambushed us

[rose nova]

and that can take a while and the scan doesn't stop

so u can reset em

[untold cypress]

do i just smack escape

[rose nova]

press ESC, kick the bot puttin the option to "closed" or just players

[untold cypress]

ohhhhh

right yea

[rose nova]

and then reset it to whatev or was before

and the bot will reappear on the scan

[untold cypress]

im afraid of that too

[wispy bluff]

Again: last ditch option if bots refuse to scan properly

[untold cypress]

yea fair

[wispy bluff]

Does any of the bots have a biotracker?

[untold cypress]

one of them does

[wispy bluff]

Nice

So you will see enemies from a mile away

[untold cypress]

i have burst, and another had burst and the guy who left had mines

yea luckily

[wispy bluff]

Oh, nice, two burst sentries

Alright then you can spread them around

[untold cypress]

lol last time i attempted this with a squad we did the original R6C1 (non alt) and we did 4 sentry LMAOOOO

[wispy bluff]

leave one on top of the hole and then the other a level lower

[rose nova]

just have an big big ammo pack cause with bots u usually do more of the shootin and the scan drains a lot so, be prepared
or alternative save a big big medi in case u get hurt a lof

lol kdmskdm

4 sentry

scan must've been easy

[untold cypress]

it was troll af

lol

until the sentries ran out

[wispy bluff]

Four sentires is the meta for that level, heh

[rose nova]

ah qwq

[wispy bluff]

Funny strategy, but not as exciting

[untold cypress]

true

ive got like one cfoam grenade too

il just throw it somewhere before starting lol

ok so one sentry at the top, one a level below

and have lots of ammo

cheers

[wispy bluff]

yep

[rose nova]

good luck :3

[wispy bluff]

Pray sentries will not be asleep and shoot anything that moves

[untold cypress]

will update yall on the outcome :D

[rose nova]

i usually just put both sentries at top, just aiming at like different sides idk if the one below is a funk strat

[untold cypress]

o ye btw real quick should i face sentries backwards or forwards cause i feel like sometimes they just skidaddle past em

[rose nova]

aiming at where enemies come from

[wispy bluff]

one should we looking straight at a security door you came from

[rose nova]

sentries don't do back dmg either way

[untold cypress]

oh damn

rip

[wispy bluff]

the other sentry i can't quite say where to put it, but there are options

at some points monsters find a way in despite the sentries

i have no idea what causes that... i think they just spawn below instead or something, fuck if i know

[rose nova]

[btw based pfp]

[rose nova]

there's a ladder like on front and one at the side of the tile

[untold cypress]

🙏

[rose nova]

think they can take any route and just be

depending on how u set up

[untold cypress]

what about like

hmm i cant send a screenshot

[rose nova]

nope :3

[untold cypress]

level below there's this weird side bridge area thing that goes before the stairs that lead to the very top

maybe there?

ye idfk il put it somewhere hope for the best

[rose nova]

u for a checkpoint it fine

u go in and see if it works kdmskdm

[wispy bluff]

Just put where it got a lot to look out for, so its most likely to find something

[little ridge]

I did it yesterday with a group and all burst sentries were facing the entrance and it was incredibly easy

[wispy bluff]

Or just double down on hole protection

[untold cypress]

damn bruh

[wispy bluff]

I don't know what causes entire hordes of enemies to just bypass them though

[rose nova]

das what i sai qwq

[little ridge]

You dont need to do particular placing if the sentries are burst, they're just going to work

[wispy bluff]

They should be spawning exclusively from the security door, but i'm not sure

[untold cypress]

real

[rose nova]

them runnin out? idk

[untold cypress]

il put the bot sentry up top cause i cant move that mid battle

il put the other one on the bottom

c foam the area and stuff

[little ridge]

with nearly all sentries at 100% the enemies only started coming at us at around the staircase with APCs

And it was basically a wave then we finished the scan and killed the remaining enemies

[untold cypress]

damn bruh

ok il give it a crack

[rose nova]

give it a cocaine :D

[untold cypress]

BOT THROWING

FFS

[rose nova]

TOLD UUU

QWQ

[wispy bluff]

I keep wondering why i don't experience that bug as often

Could it be related to performance somehow...

[rose nova]

nah

i doubt it

idk maybs is u just have good rng ksks

the same way i didnt had liquid bug until like 300 hours in

[untold cypress]

no fucking way

two burst sentries

i did it

they made this level so much easier than last time

[rose nova]

:D

eyyy

nice !

💪

[rose nova]

:3 pro player ah

[wispy bluff]

My loadout was 3 when beating it

Versatile shit

[untold cypress]

im spooked by the ppl in here but ive played the game for a bit

[rose nova]

lol skdmkm
i mean u mentioned the og so thats funk

that by itself means u got before me :b

[untold cypress]

oh damn haha

nah that shit was SO HARD last time i stayed up till 5am with all my homies playing this level

we died like 5 times it was so fkn hard, and got to it at the last bit and i just remember we were all so happy and proud

and the sun was already up LOL

💀

[wicked solstice]

lol I love R6C1 OG

That is my favorite level of all time

[untold cypress]

yeah for real

[rose nova]

lol

[untold cypress]

its either r6c1 or r6d1 nemesis for me

[rose nova]

yeh it was the difficulty barried on the og, the one that separated players mskdmk

[untold cypress]

yea true

[wicked solstice]

R6C1 was where shit got real

You learn to rush sleeper filled rooms during an error, melee scouts, stealth through rooms without killing, kill giants, setup for big scans, etc

Alt has a pretty disappointing layout tbh

But I won’t go into that again

[untold cypress]

i remember playing r6d1 with the bois and dropping in to the darkest room imaginable, hunting through the entire level to get ammo and health packs to survive the next challenge
had a friend who was running around in fog at 2% health trying to find lockers, and this was ||near the big door where the boss is|| and so his ass just got lost LMAOOOOO

[untold cypress]

yeah i noticed it was different

[wicked solstice]

not good difference imo

[rose nova]

:[

[untold cypress]

they had a huge area filled with just giants, and the only way my team did that bit was just set up sentries behind the door pointing away at the sleeping giants, close and mine the door, and BACKPEDAL ASAP

lol

[rose nova]

lol ive been doin that too on the next runs after completion for funs :3

[wicked solstice]

Old layout was nice because it was a big zone with ~8 giants into a small room with 4 giants. You could stealth first room into 2nd room, then kill those 4 with closed dor

Alt they flipped the zone which is sad

Also it’s a really wacky zone for stealth

The ladder pit feels weeeeird

[rose nova]

thought u told me it was better cause it forced more stealth instead of just closin the door and doin it like that
or was it someone else

[wicked solstice]

I mean it depends on what you want the zone to be tbh

[untold cypress]

at least they still had the ||sneaky scout area||

first time my squad saw that we shat ourselves

never seen so many in a single area before

[wicked solstice]

good room

not me who put 12 scouts in one zone in my C1

There are doors

But it’s funny

[untold cypress]

diarrhea room we were shitting ourselves to death lol
and this time around me and my bud just wiped them out before the scans

[untold cypress]

💀

[rose nova]

sad jellyfish

[wicked solstice]

It’s always funny taking people through the level and them being like “oh hey a scout”

Then they see like 10 pings

[little ridge]

I kinda disagree

I didnt like how the zone before the t-scan pit was

[wicked solstice]

Error is boring AF now

[wicked solstice]

I liked it better, apex had cool buildup

[little ridge]

But here it's in a big room with a pit

[wicked solstice]

Where you’d see the orange glow behind the folding room divider

[little ridge]

Before it was... in front of a staircase that led to nowhere in a weird room

[rose nova]

:D pit

[wicked solstice]

Before it was hidden and menacing

Idk that’s just me

Error is way more boring tho

[little ridge]

Nah it's one of those things "de gustibus"

[untold cypress]

LOL

[rose nova]

i think it has like both good and bads, i like the fact that it slaps u with the apex door right away, i like the giant filled room, i kinda like the first cluster being easy if u know what u doin but the class V before the big room being a bit funky to prepare with those three doors [i missed the top door first time lol]
i dont like the error zone a lot, it has the key kinda on sight always, i dont like that the room to go after the first datacube its 70 meters away instead of just one two rooms

[little ridge]

But overall r6c1 is a decently paced map I think

[untold cypress]

it caught me off guard to be fair, i panicked cause the layout changed and we almost lost, had to regen the team

[little ridge]

Dakstar's right by saying that it has a good deal of everything

[rose nova]

silly'd >:3

[wicked solstice]

it’s like 6 subzones now, used to be like 14

[little ridge]

errors, rooms with giants, some normal alarms, scouts, and a t-scan

[rose nova]

was it

[wicked solstice]

It’s a super cool 3 staged level

You’ve got error stage, stealth stage, T scan stage

[rose nova]

i can remember like it being, 5 subzones with one no one took at the right

[wicked solstice]

R7C1 is built in stages as well, I just think they’re a little worse

The WORST PART of R7C1 by far in my opinion is that there is 0 warning on the errors

[rose nova]

yeh its its weird they do that

[little ridge]

Personally

[untold cypress]

oh bruh yea

that's so troll

[rose nova]

i mean the last scan i can get it but the glp its like, why not have it on the door cmon

[little ridge]

I would have just make it so that instead of 3 cells you carried 1 cell and all the other zones required a key that was inside the previous zone

[wicked solstice]

Either that or the fact that sleeper spawns past the Z scan can be super rng on whether you’re fucked or not

[wicked solstice]

thank you

[little ridge]

It'd been less confusing and you'd be forced to go down 1 path

[wicked solstice]

also less chance for heavy carry bug lmao

[rose nova]

eh well thats a different issue

[little ridge]

I mean, instead of it being a cell for the first checkpoint just make that into a key

[wicked solstice]

Nah it’s the ones you take past the checkpoint that are the problem

I mean it’s 0 problem without heavy bug, and I hate that this game’s design has to be levied around bugs

[light tusk]

Is r7c3 doable for 2 players 2 bots or is it a 4 player level?

[earnest forge]

Bots will struggle for multiple reasons in this level

[junior latch]

?
There was 6 before. Its 6 now too, but they are bigger now.

Its basically a key spawn to far left (terminal there) vs more space for actual key spawn deeper in

[rose nova]

i knew it >:b

[wicked solstice]

There is no fucking way

Cap and a half

There is 0 shot that error used to be 6 zones

[junior latch]

first 2 rooms are basically the same

[rose nova]

yes

i remember it being, very short

[junior latch]

old layout had small room and medium room on left side at end of 2nd

new doesnt

[wicked solstice]

ok 6 vs 7

[little ridge]

old layout had terminal much more tucked away IIRC

[junior latch]

old then had big room into medium room

[wicked solstice]

yeah

[junior latch]

?

[wicked solstice]

The old layout felt WAY bigger imo

[junior latch]

it was smaller

ah wait yea theres that 1 room i missed

6 vs 7 but current rooms are bigger

[wicked solstice]

Really?

Feels smaller now

[junior latch]

last room now vs old, now is way bigger

leadup to last are similar

[wicked solstice]

Ig I’m just better now

[junior latch]

3rd last is similar

[wicked solstice]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[junior latch]

Yep

[wicked solstice]

Also probably biased from staring at gardens tiles for 2 weeks before ALT R6

[junior latch]

the biggest change is rly the side rooms being gone with like 15% key chance

that fucked up newbies hard

[wicked solstice]

Yeah

I loved side keys

Actually in an old RD-D3 iteration, I made a key zone with a main area and 3 mazelike sidepieces

[junior latch]

Good for first time playthroughs or the unexpected spawn on a repeat to throw people off

but ass for speedrunning

[modern inlet]

haven't played gtfo for half a year now

anything new?

[wicked solstice]

alt R5 and 6

[modern inlet]

Didn't they also have r8?

or is my memory wrong there?

[loud void]

They did but its not out yet

[rose nova]

no they didnt

[modern inlet]

r8 never been out? ight

[rose nova]

new rundowns were until r7

and then they brough the old ones back

[modern inlet]

I remember pablo, is he in r7?

[rose nova]

:3

yeh

[loud void]

i meant it was planned

[modern inlet]

they still haven't added a shooting range to the game, right?

[rose nova]

nope :#

but u can use some levels to test guns

[modern inlet]

[wicked solstice]

It’s called A1

[rose nova]

like r1a1 or just r2c2

etc

[modern inlet]

I don't wanna reload every time I wanna try out a new gun, sigh

[rose nova]

or just run the new levels with the new guns

so u kill two bird one, bullet

[wicked solstice]

Two flyers, 1 bullet

Hel gun gaming

[modern inlet]

Are some of the weapons locked for specific rundowns?

[wicked solstice]

Nope

[modern inlet]

ight

[steep sand]

Hello! I'm trying to join a game that my friend has already started. He is no longer in the lobby, but actively playing the game. I read the whole ID and clipboard thing, but it makes little sense to me. Is there an easy way to join his game?

[sharp siren]

he sends you the code > you copy the code > go back in menu and look in the left click on the red rectangle > select your loadout ready drop cage it should drop you automatically

you can also join via steam and ready drop cage

[steep sand]

Thank you!

Do I have to go through Discord to see the code to join the game? My friend is having difficulty getting the code to me.

[sharp siren]

like he just have to send you the code via whatever you have avalible

steam message, discord or whatever

[gusty cradle]

there is a map in i think rundown 5, it has a room thats full of 5-6 scouts and to get to it you have to go through a pretty nasty alarm door, anyone know what map that is?

[wraith marsh]

sounds?

[gusty cradle]

scouts, sorry auto corret

[wraith marsh]

theres no map that fits the description, not even outside r5

r6cx is the closest but the alarm isnt nasty its just a class 5 or smth

[gusty cradle]

its not the objective but it was a scaring experience, im just trying to find it again

[wraith marsh]

r5d2 has a class 10 into a zone with a scout/mom/giants

that might be it

[gusty cradle]

never got to the D levels

i deployed at the time

[rose nova]

mayb r5c1 with the purple scan but its just a lot of bigs and like one scout

or two

[wraith marsh]

yeah could be

[rose nova]

maybs r6d2 too?

with the funny room?

[gusty cradle]

if there is a map outside of R5 than im willing to hear

[rose nova]

i mean r6d2 has a class IV or so alarm with chargers

and it leads to a room with a lot of cscouts and spitters

[gusty cradle]

ive never played a D level outside of rundown one

[wraith marsh]

you might be misremembering the situation then tbh

highly likely it was r5c1

[gusty cradle]

isnt that the lvl with the boss? or is that D1?

[torpid rose]

probably r6c1

if u think theres a boss

[wraith marsh]

r6 is the rundown with the boss yea

did you start on the games full release/the time you are talking about

[gusty cradle]

no no, ive been around since R1, its just i deployed for 8 months last year so my memory on what maps have what in them has been challenging

[torpid rose]

if room had big pillars in it with the scouts

its r6c1

[rose nova]

but that one doesnt have an alarm

[gusty cradle]

YES

[rose nova]

oh

bruh

[torpid rose]

class 4 -> giant stealth zone -> scout room

close enough

[rose nova]

i dont think so

[gusty cradle]

IT IS!

[rose nova]

specially cause class IV is probs the, easiest one in the level lol

apart from like the first one but

ah well

[gusty cradle]

oh i remember why i never beat this lvl before i deployed

the teleport after the scan sequence, i never had enough ammo to get though it

[rose nova]

a

well now u can

try again

[gusty cradle]

ah, then the moving scan, i remember this. hmmm. alright.

thank you all for your help in refinding this map. it will be concurred!!!

[wraith marsh]

gl with beating it this time around 👍

[clear magnet]

what on earth is the strat for r2e1, that first alarm is brutal

[wraith marsh]

shoot a lot

dont camp the scan before it lands

[rose nova]

um good clearin wave weapons
good tools and positioning'

and

um

yeah

[clear magnet]

just gotta get good huh

[trim sail]

ask yourselrf simple question: why did you fail ? Answer with simple question: Because i can't handle multiple enemies rushing toward me. Ask yourself once again: Do i need to fight them all the time ?

[lost lynx]

my team did this:
2 turrets in front with a bit of c-foam
c-foam the door near the ladder

and if shit goes bad just c-foam everywhere

it can also work with 1 turret

so someone else can bring mines

2 of us brought machinge guns and other with shotgun

[modern coral]

First alarm you probably want to reposition around enemies.

[wraith marsh]

on scan*

[pine root]

XD

[modern coral]

But otherwise two burst and good shooting.

[gusty burrow]

The best advice I can give, and the advice that has gotten so many newbie teams through that scan with me (even with me not even bringing waveclear weapons) is to focus on your positioning.

Once a scan is done, just run away! All the enemies are swarming that point, just get to a place far away from them all and wait for the next scan to deploy. And then all run together to that scan and repeat.

The north-east corner of the map is the farthest you can get from the enemy spawns, and is the best place to run to while the next scan is deploying.

[lost lynx]

[mystic moss]

if only there was a shotgun that has a huge mag size, penetration, and insane kill potential so you could deal with swarms easily

[gusty burrow]

Don't try shooting them after a scan is done, you're going to get swarmed, just run away, you should only be shooting to keep yourself safe while on a scan, and to buy yourself time while the next scan deploys.

[lost lynx]

if you shoot them they are just gonna respawn and you will waste ammo

so yeah

[clear magnet]

and if, say, there was, it would maybe be called...

[wispy bluff]

🪜

[narrow gull]

starts w/ a H

[lost lynx]

Hel shotgun?

[gusty burrow]

ends with el shotgun

[thick temple]

That's not the first letter of bataldo

[clear magnet]

actually? how interesting, ive never looked at it

[lost lynx]

use scattergun (dont)

[wispy bluff]

the one level in existence where HEL AP could come in useful also

[lost lynx]

normal shorty should do the job too

i ran PDW and normal shotgun

and it worked well

[wispy bluff]

Either way

R2E1 is the first level to introduce surge alarms, i believe

[gusty burrow]

@clear magnet Are you around RN?

[wispy bluff]

Surge Alarms are unique in that they immediately spawncap the ammount of enemies and keep respawning the ones you killed the second they die, instead of sending them in waves.

[clear magnet]

currently in the level w my team, but yeah

[gusty burrow]

gl gl then

[wispy bluff]

Its literally a check of if you can reliably keep killing the surge horde while scanning (or find a way to keep it at bay)

So its a massive check on ability to quickly kill enemies. Real quick, in fact.

[clear magnet]

this helped significantly

[clear magnet]

we made it through the second surge alarm for the first time, and it was not too bad

[pine root]

Not to mention that this becomes the best way of playing every scan

Very volatile but the best on amount of sleeper spawns

[clear magnet]

is there a list somewhere of all of the shortcut commands on terminals?

[gusty burrow]

Minimizing sleeper spawns is only optimal if delaying them still lets you kill them optimally, sometimes it is good to go for early sleeper kills if doing so is substantially more efficient than otherwise. Long Live The Line.

[sharp siren]

How to win a surge

Shoot them sleepers mf

[trim sail]

chill bro

just let them be

let them hug you

[lone wraith]

Real

[sharp siren]

They can lick me

[lone wraith]

You seem a little too into it

[sharp siren]

Hell yeah

[lone wraith]

💀🔥

[lusty river]

I had a troll earlier today who claimed they had 100 hours and did R1 but bro kept running into sleeper rooms and didn’t know why sleepers turned red 💀

[wraith marsh]

id believe it

[normal lake]

honestly a player with 100 hours and only finishing a single rundown because they still dont understand why sleepers turn red is completely believable

i dont know how else it would take 100 hours to beat r1

[lusty river]

Idk tbh, one of the other teammates had to explain everything to him and he still made the same mistakes which was kinda disdainful

[wraith marsh]

yeah

id believe it

[normal lake]

I am just fucking around there is no way a player with 100 hours actively playing this game could not understand why sleepers turn red

unless you are severely handicapped

[lofty grotto]

Does the player have any sort of handicap or disability?

[modern coral]

Eh, something I never trust my pubs on is whether a room is actually awake.

[trim sail]

^

[modern coral]

Some people just never learn to look for differences how in how enemies act in different situations.

[normal lake]

see id agree if it wasnt for the fact yuki explicitly stated they where running into rooms not understanding why they turn red

[trim sail]

some people did not even bother looking at the awakening mechanics

[normal lake]

its not a particularly hidden mechanic if you make "noise" you wake shit up

if you have 100 hours you should atleast understand that much

[lusty river]

Not at all from my view. They had comms, he heard what our teammates said. Even the 3rd person was skeptical and called him out when he asked very simple questions that contradicted his “experience”

[trim sail]

there's a simple advice which i've been following through since i played this game, and it did help me grasp a very solid fundamentals to succeed in later rundows ( learned this since rundown 1 ) : always notice the very small details and ask yourself why, then test your theory.

Wanna go easy with harder levels ? Make sure you know at least the very small things, in other words, the very basics.

[lofty grotto]

Ah ok. And this player had 100 hrs in GTFO?

[lusty river]

Allegedly, yes

[lofty grotto]

Probably a Trolling player

First thing most people learn is that its SUPER reliant on sounds, thats what I look up first thing to this game

[trim sail]

sometimes i can't really understand what's going on in people's mind

[lofty grotto]

Neither can I. Had a couple bad experiences but these times, I didnt let it get me

[trim sail]

i once met a guy asking me "why did sleepers attacking me" when he just fired into the air. Like wtf ?

3 years ago

[lofty grotto]

My worst one was R7C2 when it came out

People asked me why Im not VC. I explained my deafness. They half-accepted it but I used my experience in R6 as base

Not even one room in and someone in that VC talked shit about me (one of the teammates DM'ed me of this) so I was also not happy with that guy BUT I did complete a different level with him. Nice fellow

[trim sail]

in psychology, it's called projection

[lofty grotto]

I just dont understand people sometimes

[lusty river]

Wow sorry to hear that. People are mean for no reason

[trim sail]

that player talking shit about you can't handle the fact that you're better than him

so he projected his anger towards you

[lofty grotto]

Well... Trust me... Destiny 2 experience was FAR worse than this one

Made me quit the game for good

[lofty grotto]

I dont like that type of wordings.... "Better than someone"....

I try to reach to everyone's so that I can work with them. They have a high advantage of hearing in this game

[trim sail]

trust me

if you're truly good at the game

you won't bother having a deaf player in your lobby, or with other disability

one thing i notice of good/very good/excellent players

they hardly ever notice on other's weakness

[lofty grotto]

Thats true

[trim sail]

just focus MAINLY on themselves

so the guy talking shit about you

he just sucks

that's all

[normal lake]

lmao i thought you where saying good players dont play with the disabled

[lofty grotto]

I try to make sure that my deafness doesnt affect anything or anyone

[lofty grotto]

Tell that to my old Destiny 2 guild who betrayed me

[lusty river]

I heard Destiny 2 is very bad when it comes to their community so I stayed away from that.

[normal lake]

how to describe why i dont play games with randoms in a nutshell

[trim sail]

Disabilities come with many types

If you ask me to play with a blinded player in this game, hell no

But being deaf is no issue

Just make it a little harder

[lofty grotto]

Lets just say, My guild leader and I were planning my first raid (they did MANY raids before), and when the time came, They booted me from the FULL fireteam and with his words "Sorry, but we need someone with a mic".

[normal lake]

idk guiding a blind man through an a tier level sounds like a great youtube video

[lofty grotto]

OHHHH boy... Fastest quit game I ever did

[trim sail]

Chad

[lofty grotto]

At least I didnt let that same experience happen again in this game

[normal lake]

yeah pretty shitty, i avoid games like that for reasons like that

[lofty grotto]

I have people who ACTIVELY help me learn shit

Vence, Chron, Hirun, and many others

[normal lake]

stick to close friends ive known for years when it comes to multiplayer

[lofty grotto]

They didnt care about my deafness. They supported me and gave me tips to learn and told me that Biotracking would be my greatest skill

[trim sail]

[normal lake]

honestly biotracking was not what i expected

[lofty grotto]

Since then, Ive been trying to help others, including other deaf players if any, as a way of saying thanks for all the help.

[wraith marsh]

saved from d2

[trim sail]

Man

I wish i were deaf

[lofty grotto]

Hahaha

[trim sail]

So i dont have to hear excuse from other shitty pubs

[lofty grotto]

You CAN still try it soundless

Just either not hear ingame or mute the game

I finished ALL of it soundless

[normal lake]

i had that military grade tinnitus in my right ear for 2 years until i finally had enough and went to a doctor but thats the closest ive ever been to deaf

[lofty grotto]

I would say deafness is roughly like "construction earmuffs in a soundproof room"

[normal lake]

sounds like a fun time

[lofty grotto]

Well... being deaf definitely makes for a fun... "experience" sometimes

[normal lake]

bet horror games are far more terrifying

[wraith marsh]

opposite prolly

sound is a big part of horror

[lofty grotto]

Favorite Scout room completion was in OG R6D2 Charger Scout room. Got the terminal without killing a single one

[normal lake]

been playing a lot of lethal company lately and yeah without sound that game loses its charm

[lofty grotto]

Yea... but sometimes... NOT hearing something that you NEED can be horrifying in its own way

[wraith marsh]

it just makes everything a jumpscare

aka the lame horror

[lofty grotto]

not exactly

[normal lake]

bro has zomboid mentioned in his bio playing that game with no audio is a fucking nightmare

[lofty grotto]

Take R7C2

That Overload was HELLISH

[lofty grotto]

hehehe

[normal lake]

you do take the deaf trait when you play right

free 10 or 11 points not sure exact number

i mean smaller vision range ig

[lofty grotto]

free 12 points

I cant hear anyways so.... free points!

[wraith marsh]

that example does not help me in the slightest

[lofty grotto]

In Project Zomboid... there are house alarms

IF you cant hear it... youre FUCKED

[wraith marsh]

I meant r7c2

[normal lake]

ive played a bit of zomboid with the deaf trait and yeah you have no clue when major events that are a death sentence happen

[lofty grotto]

In R7C2.... Overload

[normal lake]

never had a run make it past a month with that trait its so fucking brutal

[lofty grotto]

I went in without Biotracker and I cannot hear where the hell those Charger scouts are and the view into it sucked

[wraith marsh]

what about that is horror

is the topic not horror rn or something

I might be confused

[lofty grotto]

It is horror in terms of not hearing it, when I need to be able to. Without Biotracker in C2 overload.... I spend awhile at the door not knowing if theres something around it or not

but the charger scouts makes that harder since I cannot hear when they tendril out

[lofty grotto]

Almost made it a month

But died to a house alarm.... FFS

Went into a firestation.... it was alarmed

Yea.... No way out of that

[visual lily]

If you get infected with nam v at what point does your dick fall off

[pastel idol]

Finally!!!

I got through rundown 1 today

as my first day truly playing

i learned a ton

But ive been playing for around 10 hours goodnight

[visual lily]

Ayo

[mellow violet]

Congratulations and goodnight

[pastel idol]

Thank you

[mellow violet]

Rundown 2 is going to be a different beast

[visual remnant]

any tips for r2c2? we've been running like monkeys but mostly failing at sec doors

[wraith marsh]

first alarm you kinda just gotta do normally

theyll only go to the open sec door or the door on the opposite side of the room to it

for the fog alarm you want to rush scans as hard as possible and immediately open the door and go out of the fog to fight the wave

[trim sail]

make sure you got at least a set of foggies to clear the vision during the second alarm door

before the scan about to start (like 10s), just throw fogs

[visual remnant]

so at the beginning we immediately go north (gather resources in the way), get past the non-alarm sec door to get to the zone with the first cell, get it back to the first generator then open the sec door in the fog leading east. Is that right?

[vagrant veldt]

That is R2C2. You need 7 ID and the level will spawn 9 or 10. So the fog is zone_114 and it may have up to either 3 or 4 ID, so you may or may not ned to get some from there. Also have seen 116 or 118 0 ID so what I do is list those out at the terminal as peeps go rush to get cell and turbine.

[junior latch]

Afaik zones dont spawn 4

[junior latch]

Safe (by keeping them open) the 2 big doors middle and right side in the first room. The close and mine the middle one for the first alarm (or keep it open and sentry it up)

[true pilot]

yeah, you need 3 zones

[junior latch]

honestly if you can, avoid 116 (and thus 117)

shit is cursed

[visual remnant]

there's a terminal right at entrance, is it ok to take time and LIST all zones there before going?

[true pilot]

Id say thats not needed

you can list and query keys and cells if you want

[visual remnant]

i did try "LIST id" at start but there was no time to QUERY each one

[true pilot]

but listing all ids seems pointless

as they always spawn in the same zones

[visual remnant]

but their quantity will vary right?

[junior latch]

They dont

theres rng

[junior latch]

Yes

the usual plan

2 people run to open the 2 big doors

[true pilot]

oh

[junior latch]

1 person goes to terminal

but dont list ids

[visual remnant]

so just List the zone then

[junior latch]

instead

List id e_114

116, 118 and 119

it will show id numbers

hmm this level seems near impossible to complete with first attempt

because we didn't even know what to do and how many zones there are

[wispy bluff]

What level again?

[true pilot]

Most levels cant be completed first attempt blind

Maybe not most, but a lot

[visual remnant]

yeah, most of our first attempts were to "scout" the level

no boosters & bring comfortable gears

[wispy bluff]

I'd say the opposite - once you get the game's basics down you can brute force most level by just doing the usual routines.

[visual remnant]

but we did beat r1d1 first time

[wispy bluff]

But there are a few levels which are impossible blind unless you got a top tier team

[true pilot]

But not blind firat time

like R7C1

if you dont know about the error you can easily get fucked

[wispy bluff]

Yeah, fair

[true pilot]

or R4B2, if you dont know about the fact cells make the level more foggy you could end your run very easily

[wispy bluff]

Is this R2C2 then?

[true pilot]

Yeah we were talking abt R2C2

[visual remnant]

r2c2 we immediately panicked 5 secs into the level because of the alarm sound "wtf why is there an alarm" "are they coming non-stop???" "what do we do?" "so no sneaking? rip my spear"

[wispy bluff]

Yeah, first ever perma alarm

Throws a giant wrench into everything

[visual remnant]

it kinda goes against the game description, which is "stealth" so yeah it was quite a surprise

we never thought there'd be a no sneak level

[wispy bluff]

Heh

Well, you don't acquire 70 levels by doing same shit again and again

As rundowns will go on you will notice that the devs tried to get creative.

Stealth is a big part of the game and is present in majority of levels, but there will be a couple throwing curved balls like that your way.

[visual remnant]

we beat r1d1 with first attempt to we were confident like "ehh it's just a C level so it's not that bad" and then the alarm sounded 1 sec into the game and everyone panicked

[wispy bluff]

I don't know precisely what the meta for that level is, but i believe the key component is getting familiar with hammer

2 people with hammers can just nulify the error alarm, provided its a stable 3 enemies and not like 5

Just wait for and ambush the monsters, smack head, the other 2 got all the time in the world to explore the level.

Or just... Walk fast.

[visual remnant]

we did try splitting 2-2 but it didn't work well

will have to go over some stuffs to manage it better next time

[wispy bluff]

I think the fog is the bigger mood killer than the error really

[visual remnant]

but so far the best we reached was just only 1 ID out of 7

yep i think it's the hardest part

[wispy bluff]

They could at least make it one of those semi-transparent fogs, so that you could just skip acquiring the fog turbine part

But nah, its the goddamn proper one where you can't see shit either

Very mean combination of mechanics

[visual remnant]

and it gives infection which is worse

[wispy bluff]

So:

• infinite enemies
• can't see them
• can't breathe
• claustraphobic maze-like tileset

[visual remnant]

yeah the 4th one also sucks haha

[wispy bluff]

This is where the game starts really showing its' true colours

[visual remnant]

imagine going into this level first time blind and having to find passages

[wispy bluff]

I tried to brute force it with bots a couple of times and i can't get them past 2nd alarm scan

Because the fuckers refuse to engage

So we just get overrun immediately

[visual remnant]

alarm scanning with bots is pain in the ass
