It took us till R1C2 to actually see the value in the bio tbh

junior latch
#

yep

sharp owl
#

didnt know that

worthy flicker
#

The first 3 or so missions we just blitzed through, knives out.

junior latch
sharp owl
#

then it makes sense that i see burst a lot

worthy flicker
junior latch
#

even if hel auto would aim for head it would just be worse

lusty river
#

Common burst sentry W

junior latch
#

the sentry isnt made to kill

pine root
#

only issue with hel auto sentry

#

is that is misses

#

tbh

junior latch
#

ye

#

its accuracy is such a meme

sharp owl
#

if u place hel like shotgun sentry it still gonna miss?

junior latch
#

kinda

#

either way

#

Both it and shotgun miss a lot

worthy flicker
#

I will say that it was working for me in a niche circumstance and I don't think I'd use it outside of said circumstance.

#

Which was putting inside chokepoints during R1C1

junior latch
#

the only thing it would do on a reactor is peel for the team

but if you take a real killing sentry that also makes it easier while being more efficient

worthy flicker
#

I imagine it'll matter more on later reactor levels

junior latch
#

what would matter more? d4rkevThink

worthy flicker
#

Taking burst over hel

lusty river
#

Don’t ever take hel auto sentry lol

junior latch
#

eh you can in niche scenarios

lusty river
#

I’d rather just avoid it entirely

worthy flicker
#

Doesn't that mean there's basically 1 sentry worth taking?

junior latch
#

sniper is worth too

lusty river
#

Sniper sentry is worth taking

junior latch
#

just more map (placement)/enemy dependent

worthy flicker
#

In what situations, out of curiosity?

junior latch
#

and you can clear most maps easily even with suboptimal sentries

junior latch
#

Sniper sentry wrecks chargers and giants

#

burst sentry suffers

worthy flicker
#

Tbh chargers are easy in my experience

#

High Cal Pistol go brrrt

lusty river
#

Does he know?

pine root
lusty river
#

😏

wraith marsh
#

chargers are a-

worthy flicker
#

We've been going through R1 rn, we're all still newer

pine root
#

R1 chargers are scary but they get used in better situations

#

Chargers are a c tier enemy

worthy flicker
#

R1C2 has been the first experience where stealth feels more mandatory, simply due to mission length and resource starvation

sharp owl
#

i still feel like burst is kinda useless isnt it? it has very low damage (6 with 1 burst) low damage from 1 refill/full refill and even has worse dps then sniper sentry without bio

#

or i just dont understand smth, i only played r1 for now

wraith marsh
#

dont look into stats too much

wraith marsh
#

you will get mislead by a lot of things

worthy flicker
#

I don't think I'll ever stop using the high cal tho, thing feels like a resident evil magnum

wraith marsh
#

burst sentry is good because it will always do something

junior latch
#

i think its more not understanding stats

lusty river
sharp owl
wraith marsh
#

(its mainly good on strikers and shooters and 1 more enemy you havent seen yet)

worthy flicker
#

Tbf the stats are kinda vague as they're just things like "high damage"

junior latch
#

oh we mean actualy stats

wraith marsh
#

^

junior latch
#

theres spreadsheets

worthy flicker
#

The actual numbers that I could go find if I really wanted to

worthy flicker
junior latch
#

just glancing at it (like kusee probably did) can be very missleading tho

worthy flicker
#

High Cal feels good to shoot

junior latch
#

high cal is a good all roundish weapon

lusty river
worthy flicker
#

Even if it wasn't, it's the single most satisfying weapon to shoot so far for me

wraith marsh
#

high cal do feel p good

sharp owl
lusty river
#

I’ve killed 3-5 chargers several times with one bullet with a hel rifle. It can be efficient

sharp owl
#

this is why im asking here

worthy flicker
#

The only Hel weapon I've used extensively is the shotgun, which feels like it mulches everything infront of you or you have to shoot 1 striker 3 times to kill it

wraith marsh
#

ok this guys pretty based

junior latch
#

burst doesnt have those issues

wraith marsh
#

sniper also doesnt do shit to nonpinged enemies or small rooms

#

shotgun uses tool lightning fast and misses a lot

junior latch
wraith marsh
#

auto misses and stagger is generally kinda meh

gusty burrow
worthy flicker
#

How do you guys feel about the mines? I normally run those while one member runs C foam, do the funny c foam door into mine trick

gusty burrow
#

Plus, sniper can have difficulty acquiring targets if it doesn't have long enough sightlines.

junior latch
#

sniper sentries dmg rly only matters once you get into non small enemy territory

wraith marsh
#

mines is kinda like bio, you can pretty much always take it

#

a bit less generally useful but its a very good pick

junior latch
#

but those alarms are more rare and arent always perfect for sniper sentry

worthy flicker
#

I've seen 1 mine devastate an entire wave before, sold me on it ngl

sharp owl
#

i didnt think about overkill damage 💀

junior latch
#

Mines are medium risk super high reward on blind picks

wraith marsh
#

theres very few levels where you cant get usage out of mines, and worst case you get more tool to funnel to your sentries

worthy flicker
#

So, you all recommend Mine+Bio+Sniper+Burst normally?

junior latch
#

eh

#

either bio + mine + 2 burst

worthy flicker
junior latch
#

or cfoam instead of the 2nd burst

wraith marsh
#

foam is really strong but its kinda boring

junior latch
#

you swap burst for sniper if you expect giants or chargers and think its value is higher

worthy flicker
#

But you'd always have Mine+Bio+1 Burst?

#

Alright, I gotcha

junior latch
worthy flicker
#

Better then nothing tho

junior latch
#

if you dont do challenge runs then you always have bio

wraith marsh
#

you swap out mines on some reactors and a few very specific levels

#

(like r1d1)

junior latch
#

burst is basically omnipresent but theres super rare cases where you would wanna skip (like r8a2 sec)

wraith marsh
#

its a very specific set of circumstances

worthy flicker
#

The only challenge I've attempted is actually soloing R1C2 no bots

junior latch
#

mines are more commonly skipped (see chilldudes examples)

worthy flicker
#

Wanted to see how far I could get

#

Answer, to a security 3 door when all the chargers came lol

wraith marsh
#

the main thing is, 3 sentries will almost always not be able to be used, or use too much tool if you do use all 3 at once

#

its just overkill

junior latch
#

^

#

a good example for that is r6c1

worthy flicker
#

It felt extremely ammo hungry when we did that

junior latch
#

Bio + 3 burst being optimal there

#

but you only use 3 burst sentries on the last alarm in the level

gusty burrow
#

95% of levels you'll be bringing pretty much optimal tools with bio + mines + burst + burst/c-foam.

worthy flicker
#

And how often do you guys use different guns?

wraith marsh
#

not very

worthy flicker
#

Or do you have a defacto preferred loadout?

junior latch
#

theres prefered loadouts and level based loadouts (adapting)

balmy moat
#

It’s more of a “pool” of guns that we usually use and pick from

gusty burrow
#

Chill Dude McHelweapon is an outlier and should not be counted.

wraith marsh
#

true

worthy flicker
#

Tbf I've heard the hel weapons are pretty great, shotgun/revolver/rifle anyway

balmy moat
#

Some guns we outright ignore

junior latch
#

as long as you dont run slug shotgun/sniper for wave clear or assault rifle/short rifle for bigs you fine honestly

worthy flicker
#

I was told to avoid the short rifle explicitly

junior latch
wraith marsh
junior latch
#

poor teammates Sadge

#

:^ )

wraith marsh
#

me and ray were holding, he had dtr short rifle

#

it was an interesting time

junior latch
#

honestly the 1 thing i kinda had fun with on slug (like fun as in felt good to kill) was flyers

worthy flicker
#

I appreciate all the advice btw, thanks for your time guys

sharp owl
#

what do u guys think about scattergun btw? when can it be usefull?

wraith marsh
#

unfortunately, always

#

it is in a very op state rn

gusty burrow
#

It is giga broken against any large enemy. Once you start seeing larger enemies, you can pretty much bring it every level.

worthy flicker
#

Thing murdered the bigs I shot with it

wraith marsh
#

if you can get 2 strikers per shot with it, you can take it on any level

#

(you only need 1 on the team tho)

worthy flicker
#

I love a good shotgun

sharp owl
#

so scattergun makes sniper pretty useless?

wraith marsh
#

snipers got a lot of range but isnt very versatile anymore

#

also needs headshot

gusty burrow
#

yah, except on exceedingly few levels where you're strongly incentivised to not go close enough to the enemies for scattergun

junior latch
#

Sniper makes sniper pretty useless

#

jokes aside

Sniper has like 1 real niche and 2 pseudo

Its the best option for hybrids/chickens (unless you can get close reliably)
Its good vs kraken (rare af and prec rifle does a very good job aswell)
Its good vs giant strikers. But man just take scatter/hel rifle or BC

wraith marsh
#

so basically just hybrids

#

cuz chickens are as rare as kraken honestly

#

how many alarms do you actually fight them in, cuz I can only think of 1

little ridge
#

Mostly because hybrids have silly shit stagger animations tbh

#

Or they'd be easier to just hs over and over

junior latch
#

and if you bring smth for 1 enemy and theres other options thats not a real niche thats good

worthy flicker
junior latch
#

unless you know what it is you wouldnt rly

wraith marsh
#

youve probably seen a chicken by now

#

maybe

sharp owl
#

ok guys thx for answers. 1 last question, what do u think is better and in what circumstances - shotgun or combat shotgun?

worthy flicker
#

ive been up to R1C2

#

ill let you judge

restive cape
#

(Giant shooters are called chickens for some reason)

little ridge
worthy flicker
#

oh, then yeah, i have seen a chicken

little ridge
#

Same for R1B1's giant side

#

Emphasys on the "CAN"

worthy flicker
#

it spawned in a wave and i gunned it down with the high cal, as the lord intended

wraith marsh
#

the fabled wave chicken

wraith marsh
#

insane

little ridge
worthy flicker
little ridge
#

I still love Shotgun for some reason I cant really put my finger on

flat perch
#

somehow i find chicks the "funnest" enemies of gtfo.. so satisfying jump-bonking that head over and over again and dodging the slow projectiles in between

wraith marsh
#

imo, you never take shotgun over combat shotty

worthy flicker
#

did i kill a unicorn?

little ridge
#

Wave enemies are reddish

#

Pretty sure chickens dont have that model

worthy flicker
#

i swear i saw it in a wave, i might be mistaken but i know ive seen a big shooter

little ridge
#

Due to shooting

gusty burrow
worthy flicker
#

yall know more then i would

junior latch
#

shotgun has a niche by being more reliable in its kills and blowing through bosses pretty well

#

vs combat shotty

little ridge
#

man-modeing tank with 2 shotties

wraith marsh
#

I would argue they are equivelant in both of those

#

due to just firing twice

#

and stagger on tank being very useful

junior latch
#

Eeeh

wraith marsh
#

mom shotgun is better for

little ridge
#

I think that for general case use people are going to be fine with either tbh

wraith marsh
#

but solo kill mom kinda meh

junior latch
#

combat shotty wave clear obviously peaks far far higher

#

but shotgun kills 1 shot out to like 8 meters easily

Combat shotty doesnt reliably 2 tap there

little ridge
#

I'd guess CS is more forgiving so there's that as far as newbies go

gusty burrow
# sharp owl ok guys thx for answers. 1 last question, what do u think is better and in what ...

CS has way better ammo, and is still very effective vs most enemies. Shotgun does have a lot of burst kill potential, and is also good vs bosses.

Basically means you bring CS for good close-range wave clear, with utility into big enemies and bosses.

And you bring shotgun for pressure relief (in tandem with other players who have good waveclear), and to help vs big enemies and bosses.

junior latch
#

but im arguing semantics

serene jewel
#

Is there a mod that unnerfs sniper lmao

wraith marsh
#

we argue uptime at that point, please take this as a joke

gusty burrow
#

CS:

  • Waveclear: 7/10
  • Big enemies: 6/10
  • Bosses: 5/10

Shotgun:

  • Waveclear: 5/10
  • Big enemies: 6/10
  • Bosses: 8/10
serene jewel
#

I need to find a decent team to finally beat r2e1

wraith marsh
#

gl with that lol

junior latch
serene jewel
#

scatter supreme

wraith marsh
#

r2e1 pubs are always pretty bad

#

afaik

serene jewel
#

I've attempted it like thrice now

junior latch
sharp owl
gusty burrow

Fuck all the shadow giants

sharp owl

Cs can easy 2 shot striker tho

junior latch
wraith marsh
junior latch
gusty burrow
worthy flicker
#

As a final question before more R1C2 attempts, how do yall feel about the DTR?

wraith marsh
#

hel revos better

#

DTR is very good but not worth the effort

gusty burrow
#

If you're killing 5-7 strikers per mag, never swap buddy

worthy flicker
#

Gotcha gotcha

wraith marsh
#

ok but tru, with that firing competency, hel revo is STILL better

worthy flicker
#

Headshots are easy peasy when they got fat heads

wraith marsh
#

just need to learn to play pen

serene jewel
#

Is hel revo good against chargers? I use the carbine for them instead

junior latch
#

yes

gusty burrow
#

There is a shortage of good DTR players, and an overpopulation of good HEL Revo players, I'm just trying to do what is good for the ecosystem as a whole

junior latch
#

hel revo is good vs all pretty much

serene jewel
#

Cause I miss my one tap headshots

wraith marsh
#

fair

#

DTR players are pretty based

serene jewel
#

I gave the dtr a try but

junior latch
serene jewel
#

Idk either I'm using it wrong or

serene jewel
worthy flicker
#

That's it

serene jewel
#

Do you have to drag it down every burst

worthy flicker
#

A little

gusty burrow
# wraith marsh fair

I have an interesting question for you chill, to you, what weapon player am I?

serene jewel
#

Or do I just have to space every burst

worthy flicker
#

It's no Burst special

junior latch
worthy flicker
#

I was dragging down on enemies at a real distance

serene jewel
#

I LIKE MY ONE TAPS

worthy flicker
#

But most things in common engagement range I let it go, or maybe moved by mms

wraith marsh
gusty burrow
#

LMAO

wraith marsh
#

you change weapons a lot

gusty burrow
serene jewel
#

Ooh I want to give hel autopistol a try

#

But it doesn't seem like it fits my playstyle

wraith marsh
#

honestly I dont really note what other ppl use consistently

gusty burrow
#

das fair

wraith marsh
#

I think the only other person I could say is jish playing hel shotty scatter and I dont think they take hel shotty every run (also only past few updates)

serene jewel
#

Double shotgun is really good in cqc but you feel useless in large rooms

#

Or against hybrids and flyers

wraith marsh
jade iron
serene jewel
junior latch
#

Yea jish is a dirty late joiner for hel shotty

serene jewel
#

Hmmm could hel shotgun scatter work in r2e1

junior latch
#

Idk why you would take scatter on r2e1 tbh

serene jewel
#

Because one shot giants is fun

#

When someone fucks up stealth

junior latch
#

theres barely any

little ridge
jade iron
serene jewel
#

Oh

#

What would be better then

wraith marsh
#

you havent seen enough of the level yet from what im guessing

serene jewel
#

Yeah I don't remember much

little ridge
#

Like, 99% of the groups that have issues with r2e1 have issues with the hybrids+surge or the last part

serene jewel
#

Nah I can make it through the surge

#

It's the part after that that everyone gives up

jade iron
#

you need to get the 1-burst on strikers fairly often

#

but I don't think it needs to be anything crazy

#

I put some time into the gun recently, I don't think it's as hard to learn as people say it is

#

it also has surprisingly high dps into bigs

serene jewel
#

Here, one of my R2e1 experiences

junior latch
serene jewel
serene jewel
trim sail
#

a hybrid firing into us, but none give a shit about it and blame other teammates

serene jewel
#

Hel shotgun carry

trim sail
#

seems familiar ?

jade iron
#

rest of the level is a cakewalk

junior latch
serene jewel
#

How about hel shotgun burst cannon

little ridge
serene jewel
#

I don't know if that's good or bad

wraith marsh
#

if you take burst cannon to r2e1

#

you would be based as fuck

#

but I wouldnt do that lol

trim sail
#

scatter gun number 1

serene jewel
#

I take it to r1a1 too

trim sail
#

screw you guys

little ridge
#

Enough range to deal damage to the hybrids

gusty burrow
serene jewel
#

I use hel rifle for charger heavy levels usually

wraith marsh
#

yeah its probably pretty good, especially rn

trim sail
serene jewel
#

Idk again I've never made it far

#

Woo there it is

gusty burrow
little ridge
#

I mean it ain't like you're trying to do that map alone

serene jewel
#

Cognitive dissonance

wraith marsh
#

I would rather have more control of the surge than burst cannon provides you, especially in pubs

#

but if you trust your teammates its pretty good prolly

little ridge
#

So whatever you choose needs to live into the environment of the other team member's choices

serene jewel
#

I just use hel shotgun for the surges

little ridge
#

Which needs to be varied enough to handle both the surges and the hybrids

worthy flicker
little ridge
#

So taking something that is good only at one of those might hinder your chances

serene jewel
#

Yeah I like allrounder loadouts

little ridge
#

But considering how decent I think BC is in nearly all situations, I'd say BC is fine

jade iron
serene jewel
#

No doubt

#

Maybe I should try hosting for it so I can finally get it done

trim sail
#

r2e1 can be splitted into 2 main sections: the first one is super easy, the second part is where hell begins (for pubs).

worthy flicker
jade iron
#

dtr has a pretty good clip

#

and a good reload

worthy flicker
#

Agreed, doesn't mean I'm good at timing em tho

jade iron
#

oh I guess maybe you have to cancel to get the good reload

serene jewel
#

Torn between hel sg + bc or hel rifle

jade iron
#

but timing reloads is a thing with every gun ever

#

and it isn't like dtr is bullpup or something

trim sail
#

reload cancel is not that bad

#

just take time to practice

#

btw

serene jewel
#

I play killing floor 2 so reload cancel was almost natural to me

trim sail
#

gimme back the old hel revolver reload cancel...

jade iron
#

hel revo cancel nerf gets me exactly during large wavecleer efforts

#

most of the time I was cancelling late anyway

#

I don't mind it as a nerf, as long as they go no further with it

serene jewel
#

does anyone want to help me clear R2E1

trim sail
#

no

#

serene jewel
ripe void
#

smg or heavy smg

#

both short and medium range

true pilot
ripe void
#

🙏

serene jewel
#

just use carbine

jade iron
#

people call it better assault rifle

#

smg seems to have the better output up close but I value the range

#

both mediocre guns though

bleak brook
#

Me and my pals are new to this game, and we're a little stuck on the reactor level, it's like the 4th level or something. Can I ask for some assistance in strategy? There's only 3 of us currently

bleak brook
#

Oh bet, thanks bro

jade iron
#

r1c1 gets asked about all the time

#

common new player hardstuck level

#

impossible according to reddit

bleak brook
#

Facts lol, it's pretty hard when we have not read any guides are anything, we just usually use what we think works

jade iron
#

if it's too much of a wall, feel free to play other rundowns btw

#

14 A tiers and 22 B tiers is a blessing for new crews

#

and there isn't much reason to experience the game in any particular order

#

outside of doing r7 before r8

bleak brook
#

Hm, ok, this is good to know. Didn't realize how common this question was 💀

restive cape
#

I also wouldn't recommend going into R5 without some experience. B1's a great example of why.

jade iron
#

the tiring part is when new crews take the advice and still die

#

and they're still doing something silly

#

but it's hard to get to the bottom of what they're doing wrong in a level like r1c1 without seeing them play

bleak brook
#

I'll be honest, that will probably happen LOL, plus we only have 3 of us

#

I'm also thinking we don't have the best aim

jade iron
#

alternatively you can learn to play better in levels in other rundowns that are actually fun

#

and then stomp r1c1 later on

gusty burrow
#

You don't need the craziest aim to succeed in GTFO. A lot of what gives you 'good aim' in this game is actually just learning enemy animations so that their movements become predictable

bleak brook
#

That's true, the sudden change in movement gets me a lot

#

especially when I'm trying to use sniper to one tap big guys

jade iron
#

sniper is in a pretty sad place right now

#

big r8 nerfs

bleak brook
#

fr?

#

Aw

jade iron
#

clip size 3 -> 2
shot delay 0.5s -> 1.3s
more recoil
longer reload

#

compensated I guess with rounds per refill 4 -> 5, but most vets would say definitely not worth

bleak brook
#

Yeah, doesn't seem super worth

#

the 3 shots sounds so nice

jade iron
#

in r1c1 in particular I'd just take a hel rifle or burst cannon in its place I guess

#

can chip in a lot more on waves

#

and still put good work in on bigs/hybrids

#

mostly you wave ranged waveclear, with some kill threat into bigs

bleak brook
#

I really enjoy the burst cannon, since it murders big guys. Does it do area damage or just big single target?

jade iron
#

hel gun, hel rifle, MG's, HAR if that's your thing even

junior latch
#

it shoots 3 bullets in a burst

serene jewel
#

I mean it fires bursts

#

you used to be able to one burst giants

junior latch
#

you can spread these out on smalls (somehwta reliably getting 2 kills per burst)

serene jewel
#

big sad

junior latch
bleak brook
#

Sorry, i know it is burst firing, I meant to ask if each individual round explodes

junior latch
#

only on client for giant strikers
And on hybrids i guess ye since 22dmg needed like 4 headshots and 1 bs

bleak brook
#

albeit in a small radius

serene jewel
#

ye

junior latch
serene jewel
bleak brook
#

Ah ok, sorry. It looked like they did

serene jewel
#

It really is a shame we have no aoe weapons

#

flamethrower or explosive weapons would've been 😩

bleak brook
#

Even weak ones would be neat

serene jewel
#

but probably op

analog flicker
bleak brook
#

Just so it doesn't sweep everything super easily

analog flicker
bleak brook
#

Also, should we spread out a lot during the waves? Or stay together?

jade iron
#

it's in the motto

#

work together or die together

bleak brook
#

Big facts actually

serene jewel
#

find a chokepoint to defend

#

my personal favorite spot is the hallway with the security door in it

#

near the hole in the wall next to the bridge

#

though I think most people defend on the bridge itself

bleak brook
#

The chokepoint we tried 3 times was the double set of stairs at the end of the bridge

serene jewel
#

yeah that is not a good chokepoint

lusty ibex
#

the bridge which have a big vehicle lean backward to the small hole that is best choke point

bleak brook
#

we put turrets on the bottom of the stairs and sat on top

#

Ok, so find a better chokepoint at a hole in the wall

serene jewel
#

two entrances, elevation makes it more difficult to get headshots and makes them move more erratically, just a bad time

junior latch
#

its moreso a line

restive cape
#

Turrets are best placed either facing that hole in a wall from a distance or in that long hallway behind it iirc

lusty ibex
#

use HEL gun it penetrate many enemies at same times

junior latch
#

the actual hole can be very pressuring on new players

serene jewel
#

yeah just find a place enemies will funnel

jade iron
serene jewel
#

the hole is a bad chokepoint imo, it's not a straight path for the sleepers and again the elevation isn't flat

#

I'm saying the hallway next to it is good

#

because it's a clear line of sight

#

and only one entrance

bleak brook
#

Ah I think I understand now how it should be set up.

lusty ibex
bleak brook
#

Sorry, we're not he best at the whole strategy side haha

serene jewel
#

ok

Man I'm starting to hate randoms

fr?

ripe void

It was r5b1 it was supposed to be pretty easy

junior latch
#

burst sentry is way way way better

#

at dealing with smalls

ripe void
#

I did the whole thing just to die in the fog

bleak brook
#

So burst and sniper are the best turrest

junior latch
#

(As in actually killing)

bleak brook
#

bet

ripe void
#

They alerted thr giants in the fuck and killed themselves

junior latch
#

3 burst sentries and a bio tracker is the general loadout for r1c1

Dont place all 3 sentries immediatly tho

bleak brook
#

That's what I thought is waiting to use sentries would be better

serene jewel
#

I use a sniper with cpu speed but it's probably not better than burst

bleak brook
#

We also only have 3 people

serene jewel

jade iron

I like a sniper sentry on r1c1

#

Balance between relying on three sentries and shooting yourself. If you rely on sentries too much early on, you'll run out of tool and will get overwhelmed later with bunch of ammo to spare

idk I just plop down all 3 sentries and let them do the heavy lifting

#

and just remember to take a tool in the beginning

#

they don't waste ammo too much because again they apparently fire sequentially

#

they never overkill or aim at the same target if one of them can kill

#

correct me if i'm wrong

burst sentries cheat by being able to retarget mid burst if something gets killed by first bullet

Also, how do you time having someone run back to the computer to start the next phase?

Try putting the code inside the machine in the last seconds

So you are going to buy more time for your friends

To get ready

serene jewel

you can press the up arrow when you're on a terminal to re-enter the last command you used, so you can easily just replace the code

it's just satisfying hearing that powerful shot and seeing something die with each shot

Can't stand veruta's shaking, and the holographic spyglass is messing with me

Arbalist is basically what HAR should've been, just with a spin up

I much prefer Veruta

#

Arbalist feels too slow and sluggish for me

#

the extra stagger is also nice

analog flicker

I like the new reload

analog flicker
#

It's slower

rare stone
#

haven't played with Arbalist since the change

wispy bluff
#

Old one was lame... I don't even remember what was happening prior. They swapped mag of screen

analog flicker
#

More rather I believe it removed a reload cancel it had

wispy bluff
#

Now for a split second the beauty of the gun is on screen

analog flicker
#

The mag was swapped a long time ago Artek

wispy bluff
#

I get to enjoy that massive barrel

analog flicker
#

The gun shot faster at less dmg back then as well.

wispy bluff
#

You don't understand what i'm saying

#

I'm rating exclusveiyl the aesthetic feel of the reload

#

Old one was lame and was happening off screen, nothing to look at

#

Now it uses same reload as burst cannon and HEL Gun, i believe?

rare stone
#

how do we feel about the Revolver reload change/holding animation change?

wispy bluff
#

The gun is on screen in all its glory to enjoy

analog flicker
#

No it doesn't artek

#

Similar but not the same reload

wispy bluff
rare stone
#

although I don't like the holding animation

analog flicker
rare stone
#

it's more akin to the Hel Revo reload now

#

which I like

analog flicker
rare stone
#

did they change the reload speed?

#

I thought they only changed the animation

analog flicker
#

Asking for a gun over gun is likely to get answers on performance rather than aesthetic

analog flicker
rare stone
#

ohhh you're still talking about the Arbalist nvm

#

thought you were talking about Revolver

analog flicker
#

Revolvers new animation shaved off like

#

Some milliseconds or smth

#

But it's negligible

ripe void

I like the fact that arbalist is slower

It's like those funny cannons

They should have just disabled matchmaking at this point it's just fucked

i learned it the hard way

earnest forge
#

Since its target difficulty exceeds the B tier by far

upper tinsel
#

well then why it is called r8b4_

#

if it isnt in a b tier smh

earnest forge
#

R8 is unique by several aspects. Its difficulty is by design not linear.

shut vapor
#

The levels are meant to reflect the progression of the left hand side

#

That's why all of the rhs appear harder than their tier

flat perch
#

that right side r8 has some curveballs tier-wise for sure, imho in a very cool way

shut vapor

The only ones that really match up are a2 and b3

in a2 i was about to go bonk a shooter behind a wall.. was just about to charge her as she backed off into a red glowing scan circle.. a2 waaaaat.. 😄

I got called a "quitter" for quitting a vc after 10 second I got in without ever having said a word

I guess I wasn't very "chill" but it's not easy being the only one trying to keep the team coordinated

#

Especially when they don't respond and rush, opening up every door they see while an error alarm wave is right around the corner that triggers all the sleeping giants and scouts

Communication is key to everything in this game and idk why some people just refuse to communicate

They compensate by having insane range instead

they should add a parry system
