gtfo-chat

[lapis jungle]

yeah but why cant we revive it like

[lost lynx]

yes

[lapis jungle]

at the local hospital

[rose nova]

theres no hospitals like

runnin

anymore

:3

[lost lynx]

were are we going to find a local hospital in garganta?

also the planet is fucked

[lapis jungle]

oh

[rose nova]

people at those hospitals are probs ded

[lapis jungle]

wasnt too aware of that

[lost lynx]

i doubt there is hospital running

[lapis jungle]

i have 0 idea whats going on in this game

[rose nova]

woshhh

:D

[rose nova]

its ok lore is funky

[blissful dome]

smh my head slendi spoilers

[lost lynx]

in what sense?

[lapis jungle]

how do i find out stuff

[lost lynx]

the hallucinations?

[lapis jungle]

is it from logs

[lost lynx]

yes

logs

[lapis jungle]

oh shit

[rose nova]

yeh :D

[lapis jungle]

i dont read those lmao

ngl im kinda hungry so im gonna just wake everything up

[rose nova]

tbh they r complicated and its generally hard to piece the story together
u, might as well uh read the pinged document on #gtfo-lore that like explains it, tho idk if it has spoils of r8 ngl

also nom nom

[lost lynx]

it doesnt

have R8 spoilers yet

[rose nova]

oke :D

[lapis jungle]

yeah as soon as i walked i got whipped by all 3 large men

[lost lynx]

people are still getting the lore

[rose nova]

oh

[lost lynx]

somethings are really confusing

so it will take time to piece together

[rose nova]

the one with warp?
uh ||r6|| from there many levels have em

[lost lynx]

that rundown starts with the crazy warps

then ||R7|| with a lot more crazy warps

not a lot but still crazy

[wicked solstice]

R6 had the most

[rose nova]

yeah was about to say, does it ksmdkm

[wicked solstice]

Probably

[rose nova]

maybs

idk

:3

[lost lynx]

yea it does

[wicked solstice]

Yeah R6 has 7

Well, more like 10

But 7 levels

[lost lynx]

the warps start with ||R8A1||

but its a small room

in ||B1|| is when shit gets real

i just realised they buffed the bullpop

sweeeeet

[crisp jungle]

Weren’t warps introduced in R6?

[lost lynx]

yes

but he as asking when the warp starts in the last rundown

[crisp jungle]

Oh, I’m dummy

[lavish jay]

Nah, they nerfed it this time

(unless you're referring to the alt r6 buff)

[crisp jungle]

Yeah, slower reload speed

It has more downtime than uptime it really hurts

[steady dragon]

what's the deal with the new hel rifle vs the og hel gun?

[crisp jungle]

But man it’s accurate as hell

[lost lynx]

it still feels fast

[rugged cradle]

why is it so foggy

[lost lynx]

and shoots fast

[lavish jay]

They were both introduced at the same time iirc

[crisp jungle]

Oh hel rifle does a lot more damage and can one shot shooters in the body

And penetrate more

[lavish jay]

HEL gun has more ammo

[crisp jungle]

Can one shot scouts anywhere on the head while hel gun has to hit the occiput

[lavish jay]

has a bit less penetration than the HEL rifle

[crisp jungle]

Hel rifle also has more range

[rose nova]

i mean always

or did we moved on from the patchs from the last update

and now we just talkin guns

[crisp jungle]

Hel gun does like 14 damage I think while the rifle does 30

[lavish jay]

14.something and 30.something

[crisp jungle]

Yeah

[wraith marsh]

16

[crisp jungle]

Oh it’s 16?

[wraith marsh]

16.25 ye

important breakpoint

[crisp jungle]

I think the hel rifle has a .8 crit mult while gun has .7 something

[wraith marsh]

hel gun is a more granular hel rifle with more fire rate

[pine root]

Do not go for heads shots on hel rilfe

[lavish jay]

HEL rifle has 0.73 (tied with burst cannon for worst in the game)

HEL gun has 0.8 (better than average)

[pine root]

Using the word scatter gun and worst in the game remotely next to each other is dishonest by proxy

[crisp jungle]

lol i got it reversed

[shut vapor]

Scattergun is the worst long range precision weapon

[wraith marsh]

1% makes the diff

[pine root]

Nope

you are just wrong

[crisp jungle]

You mean you don’t use the scattergun to pop scouts at 50 meters?!

[shut vapor]

No, only up to 49

[crisp jungle]

Dangit

[pine root]

That’s the fall off so makes sense

[crisp jungle]

Maybe that’s why it’s a bit inconsistent

My bad

[lavish jay]

Actually, I retract that statement.

Scattergun actually has 0.7333 precision multiplier (better than the HEL rifle and burst cannon's 0.73)

[wraith marsh]

still dont know why they have diff ones

it does not matter in the slightest

[crisp jungle]

Ehh it could help save 1 auto turret ammo

Lol

With scouts I just use commando pro to stab them

[high orchid]

I'm more of a fan of using 【THE WORLD】to stop time to walk up to the scout and time my attack to hit the moment time resumes

[analog arrow]

How to know if you have been play GTFO for too long: when you see a defibrillator on the wall and instinctively walk over to collect it

[tidal jay]

Y'all consider R4E1 to be hard?

[shut vapor]

Well it's definitely not easy

[burnt flume]

Most people would but if you play the game enough, no, it's not hard

[tidal jay]

For a first timer

Say you're going through the game in order from R1 to R8

Would it be rare for a player to get stuck in R4E1

[burnt flume]

R4E1 is a pretty testing mission for the newer/less experienced

[tidal jay]

Saying this cuz I was stuck there like a month

[burnt flume]

I wouldn't be surprised if you got stuck on that level for a bunch of hours

[mystic moss]

quick name all the hardstuck levels

[burnt flume]

When I was replaying old rundowns for the first time it took 33 hours of playtime to get a clear

[shut vapor]

If you are an experienced player, no level is hard 😎

[burnt flume]

Could've been 30 but the penultimate run died right at the end

[tidal jay]

Yeah I had a pretty hard time in R4E1, I got my friends into the game and I'm trying to prepare them without telling them what it is

Currently at R1D1 as of today

[shut vapor]

You got a way to go then

[sharp siren]

vets forgetting that its normal to not 1 shot a level challenge [impossible] [his ego wont let him admit it]

i keep spitting facts

[pine root]

R1c1 r2c2-r2e1 r3d1(when not carried) r4c3 r5d1 r6cx r7c3 r8c1

[tidal jay]

I'm currently in R5A3 myself atm

[shut vapor]

Idk man, sounds like everyone had an oopsie on d2

[tidal jay]

You don't consider R4E1 and R5E1?

[mystic moss]

oh so close

r1c1, r2d1, r2d2, r2e1, r4c3, r4d2, r4e1, r5b1, r5b3, r5c2, r5d1, r5e1, r7c3, r7e1, r8c1, r8d2, r8e2

[spark vapor]

I'm stuck on R8E1 since no players or lobbies

[pine root]

Baby levels to many players will carry

[sharp siren]

half the fun of this shitty game

its figuring it out

as you go

you come up with wacky and fun strats

then after you beat the levle its when you optimize

[shut vapor]

You stop fucking up scout kills

[floral vault]

I haven't played in a while, don't even thing I've completed R1 Fully yet honestly, and a big reason I dropped it was vet players joining my lobbies and just... carrying. Like I wanna learn the game man lmao.

[tidal jay]

Well yeeah, but when you're not carried

[shut vapor]

Ask such that you aren't carried

[tidal jay]

Fair

[floral vault]

That's easier said than done when you're playing with people who have VASTLY different levels of knowledge with the game. Me with none and Vets with a lot lol.

[tidal jay]

But yes, R4E1 and R5E1 no carry. Would it be a hardstuck level?

[floral vault]

I did run into a couple cool dudes, but yeah it was rough lol

[serene berry]

yup imo

[shut vapor]

Say you want to try and take leadership of the group and give out commands and then ask if your sentry placement is stupid

[crisp jungle]

So what’s the general consensus on the new weapons?

[junior latch]

the thing is
those 2 are probably the hardest levels

but theres a low chance you get there without becoming a bit better at the game

[mystic moss]

don't use short rifle

[tidal jay]

No, I'm specifically not backseating. All I'm helping is by shooting and helping when they're lost, all the strategy is up to them

Otherwise I'd just tell them "Stand here behind this box and dance the tank while everyone else loots"

[junior latch]

short rifle: interesting but tedious gimmick
meh range, ass stagger make it overall meh

burst pistol:
decent short range weapon. Its ok

slug shotgun:
give range pls. Having low range (and comparable dmg), aswell as firerate and ammo makes it a bad pick honestly

[tidal jay]

Which is 0 fun

[shut vapor]

I was saying this to liquid. Vets should be open to play along

[tidal jay]

Oh 😂

[mystic moss]

honestly i see slug shotgun as a low skill dtr

[crisp jungle]

So weak to ok? Hmmm also are auto mains really as bad as people say?

[blissful dome]

not anymore but

[wispy bluff]

I did it, i survived the S scan. Thanks @wraith marsh , HEL Rifle really did good job on that corner.
Not only i survived the scan, but only Dauda took like 10 damage from either other bots or my HEL Sentry

[blissful dome]

theyre not as good :P

[crisp jungle]

Fair

[tidal jay]

I think Auto sentry is hideous

[blissful dome]

its like a sawed off but for people who cant press w

[junior latch]

auto (hel shotty aside) range from bad to decent

[sharp siren]

eh, i would say its just kinda niche

[junior latch]

yea

its actually niche rn

[crisp jungle]

Machine pistol I know has insane damage potential

[blissful dome]

is hel autopiss finally usable?

[wraith marsh]

nice 👍

[blissful dome]

:P

[sharp siren]

i can thing of a couple of levels to bring it

[tidal jay]

What's the use? I thought Hel auto pistol took care of its job better than Sentry?

[sharp siren]

stagger

prevent another wave from spawning

[blissful dome]

funy

[wispy bluff]

HEL Pistol should be dealing more damage now?

[blissful dome]

stagr

:P

[wispy bluff]

But i don't know the number

[tidal jay]

But doesn't hel auto pistol do that

[sharp siren]

1.5

[shut vapor]

Stagger real good for surges

[blissful dome]

its still 1.5

[wispy bluff]

1.2 or 1.3 if i were to guess

[blissful dome]

lmao

[crisp jungle]

I think it’s 1.5 now

[tidal jay]

Even better?

[blissful dome]

not good

[wispy bluff]

oh jesus 1.5

whole 50% damage increase

[burnt garnet]

If you didn’t know it’s 1.5

[crisp jungle]

Yeah

[wispy bluff]

10c generous this year

[sharp siren]

NOOOOOOOO

[blissful dome]

mmmm

[wispy bluff]

Right, so its actually a gun now

[sharp siren]

AUTO SENTRY FOR SURGE NOOOOO

[wispy bluff]

HEL Sentry got slight damage buff too

[blissful dome]

auto sebrtry for surge

[wispy bluff]

Not that it matters

[crisp jungle]

Instead of a tickle gun

[blissful dome]

quad auto sbentry for surge

uwu

[mystic moss]

stop listening to vet propaganda, follow your heart

[crisp jungle]

I don’t have one of those

[lusty river]

Listen to Voxy instead

[shut vapor]

Me when the wave can't make it to the scan thanks to quad auto sentry

[serene berry]

i kinda liked it for the B3 extreme alarm when someone else brought it, it staggered the chargers into a clump just long enough for a hel rifle shot to do work

[burnt garnet]

Cfoam for surges

[vestal crystal]

Am I alone in thinking you learn the game faster playing with vets even if you are getting "carried".

[sharp siren]

based

[sharp siren]

ron update

[burnt garnet]

50gb update

[burnt flume]

Depends which part

[vestal crystal]

You at least get to see what high level play looks like rather than thinking you have to slow stealth always playing with noobs

[blissful dome]

the wave aint makin it to the scan but neither is your tool making it out rah

[sharp siren]

got my bandwith acting up

[little ridge]

Faster compared to just noone teaching you anything?

[burnt flume]

You definitely figure the limit testing out quicker

[crisp jungle]

How’s the heavy SMG?

[lusty river]

Yes and no

[little ridge]

I didn't know many mechanics of the game until I asked here

[burnt flume]

And you get more action per time spent

[lusty river]

It’s the better Assault Rifle

[crisp jungle]

Nice

[blissful dome]

start making stupid mistakes and get away with it due to vets uwu

[little ridge]

Personally I also think people overuse "carried"

[vestal crystal]

That and only playing with people around your skill level, which means you probably won't be being taught

[lusty river]

I will scatter you

[crisp jungle]

Isn’t the AR like boringly average

[little ridge]

If 1 pub has 0 clue what to do in r2c2 but follows along and shoots decently well and doesn't fuck up

[crisp jungle]

Yeah, missing 1 person can make a big difference

[shut vapor]

I only get goofy like that if people say sherpa

[blissful dome]

dew it

[little ridge]

I wouldn't really say he got "carried"

[blissful dome]

:3

<3

[crisp jungle]

You’re still contributing

[little ridge]

Doing your due, even shit as basic as using your tool and shooting correctly and not waking shit up ain't "getting carried"

[blissful dome]

sherpa

uwu

[crisp jungle]

R2C2 is a tough level

[blissful dome]

pull mom 🙏

[lusty river]

🤨

[blissful dome]

c2 isnt tough, its cancer

i hate it

[little ridge]

I guess for him it is

[blissful dome]

i will always hate it

fkn fog error

[narrow trout]

New player from free weekend....possibly dumb question :). What is the Artifact heat mean on each level?

[blissful dome]

kms

[blissful dome]

how much each art is worth for boosters

[burnt flume]

OK buddy, let's get you back to bed

[blissful dome]

it decreases with time spent

in the level

[narrow trout]

Is that why I found 4 or 5 artifacts...but only got one when the level finished?

[crisp jungle]

Then again I did do it with 3 bots

[little ridge]

yeah basically

[crisp jungle]

So it was tough then lol

[little ridge]

I mean, exceptions aside I think people learn mostly from their own experience or from others

[crisp jungle]

Yep

Is the burst rifle good?

[vestal crystal]

I don't think I learned the game as quickly as when I started playing regularly with good players

[junior latch]

yes

[crisp jungle]

Nice

[paper sail]

Failed R2D1 like 4 times, just completed it under 2hours with 3 bots lol

[crisp jungle]

Kek

[paper sail]

who needs real players anyway

[wispy bluff]

Well done

[burnt flume]

You get booster when your number goes above a whole number

[wispy bluff]

That level is... Unpleasant

[crisp jungle]

That’s the big mama stage isn’t it?

[wispy bluff]

The finale is mean

[paper sail]

nah r2d1 is the fog and 5 generators

[blissful dome]

thats just r2

:3

</3

[little ridge]

😦 r2d1 is my favourite r2 map

[crisp jungle]

Ohhhhh right

[burnt flume]

We do not need anyone spamming useless text emoticons

[shut vapor]

R2 was bad except for R2B4

[little ridge]

If only spitter audio bug didnt kill my runs with a cointoss

[burnt flume]

Beep gets a pass for that though because he's beep

[crisp jungle]

Spitters jump scare me so hard

[paper sail]

Can confirm, spitters scare me more than any enemy

[narrow trout]

Is there a way to know what my current number is? And I am guessing Muted/Bold/Aggressive arts each contribute to raising that number proportionate to their intensity?

[burnt flume]

Press O to access the objective screen to see your booster progress

[paper sail]

Whenever you pick an artifact up, theres a decimal number to show your progress, such as 0.54. Once it gets to 1.00 you get a booster

[burnt flume]

And yes, artefacts only give progress to the correspondingly named booster

[errant obsidian]

The artifact intensity that a level has dictates the number of boosters you’ll find in a level. If you do R8A1 with 100% intensity you’ll find more boosters overall, whereas 50% intensity you can expect to find half as many boosters

[little ridge]

Not really?

[errant obsidian]

Correct me if wrong

[burnt flume]

1. That's horseshit
2. You're wrong

[little ridge]

I'm pretty sure it only influences the number of progress not the number of artifacts

[paper sail]

Does the heat refer to the percentage value you get?

[little ridge]

there's always 1 aggressive per zone, more or less

[burnt flume]

Artefact heat is a multiplier to booster progress. The number of artefacts a level spawns is constant.

[errant obsidian]

I had always thought it was the amount you find

[little ridge]

what changes is if it gives 0.whatever or 0.whatever+1

[errant obsidian]

Okay fair learn something new

[little ridge]

👍

[errant obsidian]

600 hrs and still learning new stuff lol

[burnt flume]

Heat gets converted from percentage to decimal, and multiplied by 0.15 to work put booster progress

[sharp siren]

15 gayillion hours and still learning 🙏

knowledge its power 🙏

[errant obsidian]

Indeed sorry on the mis info, genuinely always thought that’s how it was prob since that’s what I always expected

[wispy bluff]

God, why bots suck so much ass against chargers

Like they literally don't do anything, they stand there and get absolutely mauled

CRINGE

[serene berry]

nah they just warming up, they will do great

[sharp siren]

distance and stagger are you saviour

[wind kiln]

some idiot just decided to go off alone and open a meat door 100m away from the team stealthing a room with scout

[wispy bluff]

You're right, should've put hel sentry down

[wispy bluff]

Meat door? Do you mean blood door?

[wind kiln]

ye

[sharp siren]

what level

[wispy bluff]

Was his name ZMEI or something, by any chance?

[wind kiln]

just R3A2 luckily

[sharp siren]

kekw

[wind kiln]

nah, idk the name anymore but was russian

[wispy bluff]

Right...

Sigh.

[errant obsidian]

Lol

[wind kiln]

i meant if zmei wasnt russian then its prob not him

[little ridge]

Only griefers I remember the name of are pissfrog and cechen jedi

[wind kiln]

i usually just remember their voice and color

nothing else

[little ridge]

Just add them to block list on discord or mute them on discord

Whichever you prefer

[sharp siren]

Imagine using the note feature of discord

coudlnt be me

[errant obsidian]

At least it wasn’t someone with god mode cheesing through a level you want to enjoy amirite

[wind kiln]

dont even know his discord, was doing ingame vc

[wispy bluff]

note feature?...

I'm using the Steam one instead

[sharp siren]

click on my profile

youll see a note section

[wind kiln]

im pretty sure no one uses the note section

[sharp siren]

you can add whatever remark to me there

so youll remember

i do

i dont block people unless they literally wasted my time on purpose

[blissful dome]

:p

[sharp siren]

i let people speak freely to me

blocking its for cowards!

unless you ping me

then we throw hands

[errant obsidian]

Black I like ur profile pic btw, fun game

[blissful dome]

real

[wind kiln]

i only have seen it from youtube shorts

seems fun

[thick temple]

@sharp siren

[sharp siren]

ALL MY FELLAS

[blissful dome]

so real

[serene berry]

.

[wind kiln]

aight what gets used more? notes section or light mode?

[errant obsidian]

Tough

[serene berry]

light mode not close

[errant obsidian]

Gotta be notes

[wispy bluff]

There's no winning with bots is there

[true pilot]

lol

[wispy bluff]

Either they forced feed me double HP or double ammo

[errant obsidian]

Who in their sane right mind would ever consider light mode

[serene berry]

nahh, old people be usin light mode, and there are a lot of old people

[true pilot]

Just ignore them and let them do their thing. There is a smol chance they’ll succeed

[errant obsidian]

You need your triple dose of morphine and fentanyl to deal with them sleepers, doctors orders

[wind kiln]

mostly people with sight issues

know someone who did and we all immediatly said 'why the fuck you using light mode'

[errant obsidian]

And that’s the right response

[wind kiln]

also some fake dry heaving

[errant obsidian]

Obviously after fake retching in disgust, only natural response

[wispy bluff]

They still haven't learned to align subtitles properly

I can't work with this

[wind kiln]

oh ye, i had a teammate who was a good guy but man he talked a lot

[vestal crystal]

sad kaiser noises 😦

[wind kiln]

like we were doing class 7 alarm and guy was going off about kitkats and peaky blinders

[errant obsidian]

Hey a man who can sing or talk their ass off in the middle of the heat is a very confident man in their ability, I’d trust that over someone who goes entirely silent

[wind kiln]

(absolutely not me)

i enjoyed his shenanigens tho

[errant obsidian]

Hum a little toon to urself during ur next tough alarm and you’ll see a difference

[wind kiln]

owned up to his mistakes and was just enjoying the game

[errant obsidian]

It’s how I cope with horror games lol… just humming out the fear and going full speed

Lethal company cough cough

[sharp siren]

just get the boombox

[wind kiln]

i just dont really care and go 'no thoughts, head empty' and 'gun goes brrrr'

[sharp siren]

it givwes youu super powers

[wind kiln]

just go into the place like you own it, a shovel is all you need

[errant obsidian]

I’ve tried a couple times with it, I prefer to GTFO it up with a shovel while humming

[errant obsidian]

Exactly

[wispy bluff]

ah fuck, duh errurz ooloorm

"Chill level", yeah, sure...

[errant obsidian]

What level

[wind kiln]

play with the humor of the scientist in 'The Cabin in the Woods'

[errant obsidian]

Lol right error alarm they busy now

Haha yeah

[wind kiln]

see a buddy go in? go bet if they die of a bracken or coilhead

[errant obsidian]

90% bet on bracken before coilhead on any moon lol

[wind kiln]

bracken is so well done, just you and your buddy chilling and 1 sec later you turn around seeing your buddy stuff on the floor with a trail of blood

[errant obsidian]

It is perfect yeah, but the new mask puts it to shame with just the sheer terror

Luckily that’s far more rare

[wind kiln]

mask is kinda lackluster because you can just not wear it and worn versions are only on 2 moons. however its funny when you wear it and terminal guy teleports you

[errant obsidian]

Exactly my first ever experience was tping

Before I even knew it existed

[wispy bluff]

okay

this secondary fucking sucks

[errant obsidian]

Sadly my friends and wife find it crazy funny to screw with me by holding a mask all the time

What level @wispy bluff

[wispy bluff]

||R8B3||

[errant obsidian]

Yeah gl

Solo bot too? Rough

[wispy bluff]

I don't know if i should even attempt to bother, its too much work

[errant obsidian]

It’s ur job at this point, gotta do what you gotta do haha

[wispy bluff]

Ok i'll give it one more try and it doesn't work i go for main

i made the most lethal of mistakes placing a bot sentry and leaving it behind

then ACCIDENTALLY ordering him to pick it back up

I fucking love that bots are just COMMITED to the task and you can't change their mind in any way

It doesn't matter that the sentry is 300 meters, 5 zones away with like 100 enemies in between - noooooo he will fucking go for it

[lusty river]

Spamming follow me command in a panic

[vernal nebula]

Notes on discord really aren't great, I think steam has much better features like being able to add nicknames to people and sort your friends list by category

[analog flicker]

Shhh!
Shhh!
Shhh!

[vernal nebula]

Me on R5B1 while going for yesterday lmfao

[analog flicker]

When Shhh! = "Shuuut the fuck up"

[crisp jungle]

After using the knife for a while I tried to use the bat, and the bat feels so clunkyyyy

[analog flicker]

Likely the swinging arcs

[crisp jungle]

Probably

[vernal nebula]

At least you won't be useless against giants

[crisp jungle]

I knife giants all the time idk about you

[analog flicker]

Imean. Knife can "backshot" giants limbs now

[crisp jungle]

I’ve solo’d giants multiple time with a knife

[vernal nebula]

I love the knife but only pick it if I'm certain it won't be a huge detriment like in R1C1

That's a great map for it

[crisp jungle]

It’s literally how I got the solo giant with melee achievement

[wispy bluff]

nah this secondary is actually bullshit

[crisp jungle]

Ever since that backstab buff I’ve been using like only the knife

Although for some reason, sometimes I don’t one shot backstab a sleeping striker

When it should

[wraith marsh]

prolly cuz its not sleeping

[crisp jungle]

5.5x2x1.7x1.5=28.05

It is sleeping

[vernal nebula]

Let them snooze

[crisp jungle]

Nyo

I did that in my solo r1b1 run

I ain’t letting them sleep no more

[burnt flume]

maybe because of angle?

or accidentally waking it up before hitting

eh the angle seems kinda generous actually

[crisp jungle]

Ain’t waking up and my angle is as close to the middle as you can get

[wraith marsh]

its not the back damage

[crisp jungle]

Poking right up the booty

[wraith marsh]

its just awake

[crisp jungle]

It ain’t awake

[burnt flume]

yeah it's gotta be awake if it's not killing

[lusty river]

[crisp jungle]

It also seems to only happen on the ones that have their head to the ground

[lusty river]

They’re praying to their god

[crisp jungle]

Yeah that position

[lusty river]

Surprised they never lay on their back snoring

😴

[crisp jungle]

I’m playing with bots, I’m standing still, nothing to wake them up

No flashy flash

I Wonder if there will be more balance patches at all?

I know more rundowns are practically a never

[errant obsidian]

Maybe ur striking their upper leg if they are in the downward prayer position

[wraith marsh]

it doesnt matter what limb you hit

back damage is a positioning thing

you could be getting fucked by the vertical portion but the angle is pretty lenient now

[crisp jungle]

It’s based on angles both of ya are looking at

Not like actual hitbox

[burnt flume]

the back of the upper leg is still the back?

[crisp jungle]

Yes

[burnt flume]

no, no, I'm not questioning whether that's the case, I'm questioning why someone would think otherwise

[crisp jungle]

Oh

Yeah in text that meaning is a bit more difficult to convey but I get it now

But I do wonder if there will be balance patches

[errant obsidian]

Where are the new stats for the melee weapons if anyone knows? Always been a knife main and want to know what they changed the modifiers to

[rose nova]

they r on the wiki, u can jst search 'knife gtfo' and itll appear
but well now its 0.6 charge, 1.7 backstab multi

[crisp jungle]

#wiki-chat message

[errant obsidian]

Gotcha

[rose nova]

thats all they changed didnt it

[wraith marsh]

sleeping multi is 1.5 now instead of 2

[wind kiln]

lol, me and my team did a revive baby mission and we went to extract leaving the baby behind in the machine

[rose nova]

well oops

sowwwy miwwster wawwden

i fowgot the baby

[burnt flume]

You had the courage to do what we all want to do

[wind kiln]

we arrived at the extract saying 'where is the baby?', 'i thought you had the baby?'

[burnt flume]

Children suck

[crisp jungle]

We’d be terrible moms

[lusty river]

Dads*

[wind kiln]

had to run all the way back again to grab the baby saying we would be terrible dads

[rose nova]

iwould be a mom excuse u

i dont have an argument for why tho

[lusty river]

I apologize

[rose nova]

i would just be

:3

[burnt flume]

Eh I'd be neither

[lusty river]

I would already be dead so my child is an orphan unfortunately

[crisp jungle]

I literally cannot give birth so yes I’d be a terrible mom

[wind kiln]

dads should be able to breastfeed too

[rose nova]

u would b a parent

[burnt flume]

Just a plain old ungendered parent

[burnt flume]

Remember, it's not about whether or not you can give birth, it's about whether or not you can raise a child

[crisp jungle]

I’d be awful at that too

[wind kiln]

just go to wallmart and pick a child of your choosing

skip the birth part

[crisp jungle]

When I was a kid I legit thought babys r us was a place you could get a baby

[lusty river]

I get mine from Goodwill

[wind kiln]

i heard olive garden is a great place to get one

[crisp jungle]

R3B2 has some babies in it

[lavish jay]

R3A1 has a single baby

R3D1 has even more babies

[lunar thicket]

Sleeping baby’s are funny

They tweak so much

[crisp jungle]

They got big ol heads on itty bitty bodies

[lunar thicket]

I’m glad if you alert them they don’t alert the room lol

[wispy bluff]

been practicing lots of solo tank kills recently... against my will, anyway...

F--L...

[topaz trellis]

hello

[wispy bluff]

It was FOUL, lol. Now that's a word i use rarely.

[indigo siren]

LOOOL

[wispy bluff]

Yep. Level was not chill

In fact it is near impossible with bots

For all the worst "bot be bot" reasons

[lusty river]

Steam servers down?

[wispy bluff]

Its the 3/7 of the week time, so probably

[formal lodge]

been getting weird game disconnects, bots taking a while to load into lobbies

seems like some server issues are happening

[wraith marsh]

steam seems to be acting up a little bit, prolly that

[wispy bluff]

its 3/7 of the week, a.k.a. steam server maintanance day

Don't play online games in this time, ever

But everyone forgets, every time

[formal lodge]

thought it was tuesdays

[wraith marsh]

nah bro, steam maintenance was yesterday

[wraith marsh]

^

[lavish jay]

Looks like there probably is a fucky wucky rn

(at least according to https://steamstat.us)

[swift umbra]

¿Did the game just kick any of you out?

to the menu

[formal lodge]

yeah

happened to me once, even though i was hosting

[north yarrow]

im having problems with lobbies too, i got booted mid run, and now i cant get one started and im seeing "server sync" often in the corner of the menu

[still stirrup]

servers have been laggy for a few days now

[hollow tendon]

yeah

steam seems to be fucking dying

[livid quail]

1:30:00 and in the last part of the mission, game just fall down for everyone. does somebody have more time wasted like this? so i can cry less ? :(

[lost lynx]

yes

steam is being steam right now

[livid quail]

how much time broo?

[lost lynx]

idk

[rose nova]

ive had 2 hour runs go away cause of internet issues its ok qwq

u will get over it and complete the fuck out of that mission

[livid quail]

This games builds a man. strong and not shy of spending time for nothing ._.

[wispy bluff]

Same

I spent an hour+ on a level only to realise i can't do it with bots

[lapis jungle]

is there no like reconnect feature

incase you get disconnected

[lost lynx]

yes

but if everyone gets disconected including host then GG

[shut vapor]

You can ask the host to send you a new code as it may have changed

[wispy bluff]

There is, but you gotta pray it'll work. Ideally the host should be able to just send you the code again to rejoin, but game lobbies have a tendency to become "dead" after a while, at which point the host will notice that he lacks the ability to change players slots. After that point no one ran reconnect.

[weak zodiac]

Guys, can someone tell me how to unlock secondary in R8A2?

I can't find any information for that...

[pine root]

You can find the A2 code here

[weak zodiac]

code?

[pine root]

Click the link will explain how to get the code

[weak zodiac]

it didn't work bruh... Can't you explain?

[pine root]

to hard

also wrong chat

[weak zodiac]

ok... thx

Most Helpful GTFO vets

[pine root]

artek this question

will be asked

For the nex t

two years

every time

someone comes up to this problem

[shut vapor]

It's technically an accurate and truthful answer

[wispy bluff]

Yes, and i will be one of those people

Also: what the fuck, 10c

[pine root]

tbh it just should have been

a serect level

not a secondary

[shut vapor]

Where would you hide it though

[wispy bluff]

I'm more curious of the how devs were expecting people to figure this out

By accident? Because i saw no hints anywhere

The door has a bloody scratch on it blocking reading the rooms numbers, but that's about it

[pine root]

in the same place

it just unlocks a level

instead

make the terminal unpingable

[shut vapor]

What happened is people saw a random code and noted it down.

Then people saw a seemingly hidden terminal with the list function,

Then we saw the code matched.

The hardest part was figuring out the unlock conditions for the actual command

[pine root]

what happened

was data minded

day one hour like 4

[wispy bluff]

cringe

[pine root]

it wouldnt have been data minded if it wasnt tied to a secondary completion

most likely

at least not right away

[modern coral]

Knowing it's fully optional, I don't mind the intended discovery method.

[shut vapor]

Funnily the code is hardest for vets to find

[modern coral]

But it is a little tedious.

[junior latch]

couldve made another hidden terminal in another level to get the code

[modern coral]

^ would've been more interesting.

[pine root]

i just think showing us

that it exists

was the wrong part

or dont hide it in data blocks

[wispy bluff]

So TL:DR i have to replay R8B2 and make sure i take my sweet time (or have a timer out or something)

[pine root]

spoiler mark

we in gtfo chat not spoiler

[lost lynx]

HMMMMM?

[wispy bluff]

And then i have to go and just do the secondary because...

What a weird design

Devs get too quirky for my taste sometimes

[pine root]

I mean this is an easter egg

[wispy bluff]

Backtracking and finding secrets with new abilities was always the most frustrating part of metroidvanias for me

[pine root]

tbh i wish they made it way more fucked to find

[junior latch]

I think it kinda makes metroidvanias

[pine root]

and just not a secondary

[lost lynx]

"survive 10 mins with 3 Pablos in a small room"

[junior latch]

but obviously secrets that are hidden in metroidvanias need to have a map that makes backtracking work well

[wispy bluff]

So that's at least one hour on that level... And then the other hour with the other level

[pine root]

it shouldnt take you an hour

[junior latch]

Speed up

[wispy bluff]

Damn, i need at least 3 hours of pure free time

[lost lynx]

1 hour?

[wispy bluff]

Definetely not attempting that at 2AM

[junior latch]

it should be doable in half that time comfortably

[wispy bluff]

Says the speedrunner

[pine root]

it is very reasonable to do in 40 mins

[tardy mauve]

Question, for the unmasked achievement are they only in r5a2? I read the four and didn't get it yet 🤔
Or do I need to listen to the voice recordings for it to count?

[shut vapor]

idk, I think there was an additional log somewhere else but /shrug

[autumn bobcat]

there’s been some log related achievements that have bugs. not sure if it’s fully confirmed but i have heard a lot of bugged log achievements recently.

[peak frost]

Ok, so how the fuck did I miss the overload in R8C1?

I thought I finally managed to clear it with bots and then I figured out there was an overload

but I somehow missed it

[wispy bluff]

You're meant to read the door

[vestal crystal]

u put in the wrong number for the terminal command

[wispy bluff]

Were you with bots?

[vestal crystal]

😬

[peak frost]

a fml

yea

[wispy bluff]

Good news

[peak frost]

I cleared R8C1 with bots

[wispy bluff]

Its impossible with bots

You skipped a waste of time

[peak frost]

Really that bad?

[wispy bluff]

Yes

[peak frost]

good thing I chose the 1

Can someone tell me in a spoiler tag what the 2 is?

cuz I hate the objective in 1

[wispy bluff]

I made your mistake, wiped the squad with a mine, went for overload and quickly realized that it was GG and had to wipe again

Checkpoints are a blessing sometimes

[tardy mauve]

Oh I see, I'll keep checking the servers for some updates on it!

[tardy mauve]

In the same level or another one?

[peak frost]

Tell me what the overload ist

[wispy bluff]

||Its literally the same as the main objective you did, but you only have 10 seconds to input the code, so the only way its doable is with a 2nd person being glued to the other terminal.
Oh, and waves are nearly exclusively giants.||

[peak frost]

I see lol

Legit impossible then

Guess I need to ask my buddy one day to help me out

[wispy bluff]

There is a #known-issues bug related to that overload where one of the objective terminals can be spawned inside the wall, making it inaccessable and thus softlocking you.

[junior latch]

Its not the same huh

[wispy bluff]

I think i'll wait for a patch before doing a PE of that one

[peak frost]

F

[junior latch]

this is also not a real softlock (obviously still sucks)

[peak frost]

Well I guess I skip it for now and just do D1 and E1

let's see how far bots can carry me

[junior latch]

the objective is technically doable solo or with bots

But its rly not advised since youll either need insane luck or grind through hours of kiting

[peak frost]

R8B2 was also a bit annoying with bots but doable

Cuz they where a bit to stooopid to do a lot of things

[wispy bluff]

You might have to replay that one later. Again.

[peak frost]

[blissful dome]

No spoilers artek

uwu

[peak frost]

Yea

no spoilers

[blissful dome]

Smh

[autumn bobcat]

to be fair, bot woods is the smartest one

[junior latch]

Disagree

[blissful dome]

Bot dauda likes to kneecap me

[peak frost]

Man I feel like they all can fell and bumped their head as a kid or something

[blissful dome]

So that

[junior latch]

he cant compete with our god Hackett

[peak frost]

They are also suicidal and run in front of me when I shoot

[blissful dome]

Bishop uwu

[peak frost]

I think I never really saw woods tbh

[junior latch]

yea

because you are woods

[blissful dome]

You have to have host leave

[peak frost]

I only have purple, pink and blue bot

[blissful dome]

:P

Or mods but

[peak frost]

so basically bishop, dauda and hackett

[junior latch]

youd have to join someone then they leave

[peak frost]

uuuh meant green

[junior latch]

hackett > all

[peak frost]

Yea hacket is my favorite

dauda is my mine dude

And bishop is busy scanning

at least most of the time

[eternal plaza]

I actually don't really get what is going on with my account. Or I just don't understand how this works. Obviously I'm always Woods when I host. But I've joined 3 or 4 lobbies so far, where I was in 2nd or 3rd position and I was Woods still

At first I honestly thought it was like in Rust, where your character appearance is locked in for the account

[blissful dome]

?

It depends on which slots are open

[wispy bluff]

Characters are linked to player slots.
Host is always Woods.
Player 2 is Dauda.
Player 3 is Hackett.
Player 4 is Bishop.

The only way you can end up becoming Woods as client is if the original host left and the lobby now belongs to someone who was in the lobby priot to that.
...
Another potential is some kind of mod, but i wouldn't know anything about that.

[burnt flume]

someone hosts lobby
people join
original host leaves, host changes
you join as client, but still play woods because player slot 1 was left empty

[wispy bluff]

Has anyone tried LOCKING the Woods slot and seeing if when hosting you'll just become Dauda?

[blissful dome]

It doesnt

[wispy bluff]

...work?

[blissful dome]

Nope

[junior latch]

Its not the slot

[eternal plaza]

I guess then its just my luck that this happened three times in a row or something

[junior latch]

its the taken characters

[wispy bluff]

Oh well. Thankfully Woods is my favorite so win win... If only i was brave enough to host.

[eternal plaza]

ty (lol i keep getting ping-ponged around)

[blissful dome]

?

[eternal plaza]

when you are new to the game precise weapons with less ammo is a death sentence. Missing the shots feels so painful

[junior latch]

hel rifle is pretty unprecise as a gun tho

Theres only 1 enemy you rly wanna headshot. Scouts

[eternal plaza]

Then im confusing it with something else, sorry

[burnt flume]

you hit bodyshot and any regular enemy dies

[wraith marsh]

||nightmares||

[eternal plaza]

Picked up some kind of semi-automatic today, run out of bullets real quick

[junior latch]

well, yes?

I see what you mean. Then again thats a very central one

[blissful dome]

shooting scouts with hel rifle uwu

[burnt flume]

precision rifle? well I guess that's technically full auto for some reason but

[serene jewel]

I used to use the hel gun over it until I realized one shot body shot even on chargers is really nice

plus one headshot scouts

[blissful dome]

sniper?

i mean

[burnt flume]

only hel rifle use is shooting teammates 👍

[blissful dome]

so real

[eternal plaza]

No, it had more ammo. Sorry, can't remember the name

[burnt flume]

Oops! You were inbetween me and the single striker!

[sharp owl]

What is the best rundown overall based on just level design and enjoyably out of the 8

[blissful dome]

is it a rifle or

[burnt flume]

Don't know how that happened! It will happen again!

[junior latch]

Hel gun is pretty freaking good
I could explain but if chill is alive he can do that better tbh

[blissful dome]

oops i dumped an entire hel shotty mag into you through a snatcher

well

sacrificies had to be made

[rose nova]

u got it ufo

[burnt flume]

before r8 released I kinda like, well, I burst cannoned a snatcher. Unfortunately I think the first bullet killed, and then the next 4 bullets got another kill

[junior latch]

8 hasnt been out that long so hard to rly judge

Otherwise 6 imo. Good variety, replayabiligy, story and nothing too tedious

R4 and R5 specficially suffer from very tedious levels, r7 suffers from meh gimmicks

[burnt flume]

funny as fuck to just see a teammate go down though

[blissful dome]

you tellin me to carry?

[wraith marsh]

granular

[blissful dome]

scattergun snatcher into a teammate uwu

[rose nova]

ufo carry

Sry, you rly wont get much more out of me until like saturday lol

cool levels but the rundown plays very unconventionially

I say, having only played 1 mission

[blissful dome]

[sharp owl]

Lmao

[junior latch]

„played“

[blissful dome]

so real

[lost lynx]

good

[junior latch]

casual wr holder

Pachi toxic elitist

[burnt flume]

I don't see anything on speedrun.com

[junior latch]

its just not even worth saying tbh

[blissful dome]

you can also yk skip rundowns yk that right omega

[burnt flume]

stop making stuff up

[junior latch]

its so engraved

[sharp owl]

How hard is R8 compared to say r4 which I’ve played the A levels of

[blissful dome]

uh

easier...

[burnt flume]

yeah I have definitely carved out the toxic elitist niche for myself

[lost lynx]

easier

[eternal plaza]

I believe the real appreciation of R8 comes from playing every other Rundown

[blissful dome]

yes

thats why i advise not to start with it

uwu

[burnt flume]

surprised toxic clique haven't come after me for calling myself toxic, could be a lawsuit saying that I'm trying to use their image or whatever to my benefit

[blissful dome]

dam

when copyright strike?

[sharp owl]

Yeah I’m going through the order number wise R1-R8

[blissful dome]

:P

gl

[burnt flume]

that's not how copyright works

[eternal plaza]

palms are sweaty just thinking about the long-long climb from R1 to R8

[blissful dome]

its called a joke

:3

[junior latch]

I am NOT looking forward to the whole game speedrun man

[burnt flume]

it sounds so fucking awful

[junior latch]

especially

[lost lynx]

full game flawless when

[junior latch]

Since it will be in order

[burnt flume]

I would be stupid enough to try do an 100% run but UGH

[junior latch]

Thats basically the plan

[blissful dome]

how far are you through the game?

[eternal plaza]

zero hit run

[blissful dome]

ohno

[lost lynx]

holy shit

[eternal plaza]

I've completed the R1B1 today (:

[lost lynx]

are you doing it? actually?

[burnt flume]

maybe it'd be cooler if it was going through all the rundowns as they were on release and not alt rundowns, but that'd probably be boring as fuck for a lot of it

[blissful dome]

any other levels?

sorry

my brain

rundowns

[junior latch]

Dying isnt fast you know

But at least its mostly main runs only

[rose nova]

nice :3

[eternal plaza]

I've played r4 or r6 before, when it came out. Don't remember which, the one where ||enemies spawn in cleared rooms||. But it was extremely long time ago and on a different account

[blissful dome]

thats a lot of levels in r4-6 uwu

wait is that a spoiler

[eternal plaza]

Then it must be r6, cause I think we played in 2021

[burnt flume]

it would've been og r5 or r6 then

[eternal plaza]

no, cause you referenced the message with a spoiler

[burnt flume]

because respawn rooms weren't in og r4

[eternal plaza]

you know best. We really didn't stick around with my crew then, game was too punishing. And I couldn't persuade them to return to it

I still can't, I've been playing with 2 guys I've met here. Really a shame my usual squad aren't into this type of game

[serene jewel]

yeah it's good and I used it for most of my playtime but I find little reason to use it over hel rifle nowadays

it's probably a skill check with just lining up heads I suppose

[eternal plaza]

What are some big solid differences in guns if summarised? Are there like clear winners over anyting else, or there are like 5-6 weapons that are similar in output and more about the taste?

[wraith marsh]

pierce is op

semis are better for mains

[eternal plaza]

Cause I'll have to play a lot of missions to try everything

I'm rocking carbine scattergun for now but I still don't feel like I have a good loadout nailed down, except for my old hel shotgun machinegun combo

I'm also wondering if either of the machineguns hit any important breakpoints with some damage boosters

[burnt flume]

ok so basically
Hel Revo and Carbine are the standout mains, DMR is there too on the sidelines as a good gun. Assault rifle kinda has output issues, and some of the other full autos are suspect (but you can get away with anything if you'd want really)

Thanks for the info peeps!

I think I've been using DRM and a heavy revolver type thingy. The combination that felt the best so far

Other dude was rocking the sniper and we killed scouts with it

[burnt flume]

special weapons are fucking weird and I am not going to talk about those

[eternal plaza]

they are special

[burnt flume]

2 bullet sniper

[serene jewel]

the sniper got nerfed into the ground with R8 so it's apparently not worth using outside of very specific situations

[eternal plaza]

good to know!

[serene jewel]

from what I can tell premier large killing weapons are burst cannon and scattergun, a charge up 3-shot gun and a shotgun, respectively

[burnt flume]

man people were already taking the hel rifle for fucking everything, and with the sniper nerfed, they will continue taking hel rifle for goddamned everything

these people are crazy

[serene jewel]

I know I will lmao

but

[burnt flume]

yeah scattergun is the instant delete button

[serene jewel]

scattergun is really nice

[eternal plaza]

hel rifle felt really good as well

[limpid sundial]

i am a veruta machinegun loyalist to the end

[burnt flume]

burst cannon still good (I personally would opt for the old 5 round burst but alas)

[limpid sundial]

w+m1

[burnt flume]

veruta is cool

short range shredding power

[serene jewel]

I tried stacking special damage on the veruta a few times, couldn't really feel the difference

maybe because the base damage is so low

I want to try that on the arbalist and see if it does anything

[limpid sundial]

was it the enemy distance special condition?

[serene jewel]

nah that condition sucks ass and I drop it on sight

human proximity

I mean

[limpid sundial]

cus it is

[serene jewel]

it's a shotgun

[burnt flume]

hmmm

[eternal plaza]

How are prisoners able to achieve tasks in the facility If they are so messed up from hydrostasis?

[limpid sundial]

just adapt

[sharp owl]

It just has like no ammo

[eternal plaza]

No, I mean, I don't know much, but aren't they like not right in the head cause of constant coma

[burnt flume]

I mean, they have memory loss and stuff but retain function

[lost lynx]

lorewise
we are the "perfect squad"
we never fail

[serene jewel]

for what it does it already has too much, and they just buffed its ammo count with R8

[lost lynx]

stabby stab

[eternal plaza]

Oh, alright. So like they can retain some previous experience, just not what they did exactly and where

[burnt flume]

and have whatever offscreen help to avoid the "yeah you fuckin die instantly if you get your HSU wrong"

[limpid sundial]

idk im not a mega lorehead but your guys come out of the fridge and get an injection to stim up and become lucid

[burnt flume]

yea that's about it

you come out of hydrostasis, get drug so you don't fucking die, then you're good to go

[eternal plaza]

Yeah, lorewise its like the legend of Zelda. You have to reload if link dies

[eternal plaza]

HUUUUUUGH at the beginning of mission

[lost lynx]

we complete every mission with minimal injuries

and with all objectives
