no- like- imagine occlusion level where u split up and the waves are smaller [if they worked], and each duo has to handle their shit
im not agreeing but imagine something where u all 4 are together but busy doing somethin

im just gonna repeat myself
this game can be seen as designed for 2 players only- uplinks reactors items fog turbine etc- but its the bigger picture that shows its designed with 4 players in mind, not for the waves, not for the difficulty, just by how it is
4 tools, 4 melees, 4 individual scans on alarms, 4 levels of speed on big red scans; one person carried the turbine, one defends, one terminals if necessary, one closes doors and mines-- and so and so and so on

I think I can sum "GTFO is a duo game" up in a simple way here.

When you make the jump from solo to duo, it opens up fundamentally new ways of engaging w/ the game's encounters that you wouldn't have access to as a solo.

When you make the jump from duo to quad, it does not have the same effect of dramatically changing what you can do in the game. Corrupted uplinks are the only encounter type where there is a dramatic change in how you can play, plus some strat differences like longer daisy chains and such.

This is a significant difference from modded encounters where a 2:2 split has tanks in the wave hold. There, the jump from 2-man to 4-man is the same as the solo to duo jump, just for the split parts of the team. That is what I would expect of content that is "for quads," and is what I mean by vanilla not making the most of cooperative elements.

i think splits are extremely- i dont wanna come back to difficulty- but just from how the game is designed from the very dust, its incredibly hard and punishing
but that aside i still think that even if the most possiibilities that opens are one more person to defend or mine the entrances, thats still valuable not only from a gameplay but even a deisgn standpoint
there is a channel in youtube that has been playing 3 people for a very long time as newies- and rn they are in r2d2, and u could just tell they needed a fourth or even a bot badly

junior latch
#

its unironically just a viewpoint on difficulty

waveclear being the job for 1 person just means that its easy if you are skilled enough
waveclear and boss clear can also easily be argued to be the job for 1 person. What actually stops you from doing it. Difficulty

which loops back to waveclear being the job for 1 person. Its not, the extreme majority will need multiple people for it

the only thing where gtfo as a "2 player game" remotely works is mechanics forcing you (or trying to) actively make you split/do multiple things at the same time
-> see initiate sequence or r4e1 split for example

but theres a fucking obvious reason the game doesnt force you into 4 way splits (enemy pathing issues aside). If it was the case, youd need 4 people to do everything right, which is a far worse experience

GTFO on a difficulty level is clearly a 4 player game and design choices promote doing 3-4 different things at the same time
You can do with less, but that is based on skill -> which makes the game easier since you are better -> it becomes less difficult FOR the player that skilled

The needing a 4th point is not what I am talking about though, and considering I am being told that I am just talking about difficulty, R2D2 seems like an example where the difference is purely difficulty, how you play is not fundamentally different, the waves are just really hard with only 3 or 2.

And I think there are real counterexamples, like R7E1 code 3 tank or tool loadouts, but it is still much less than what the game is capable of requiring from cooperative play.

modern coral
# junior latch its unironically just a viewpoint on difficulty waveclear being the job for 1 p...

You can solo tanks, but it's not true that solo has access to all of the play patterns of duo. You do not have the option to trade tank aggro solo, but you do in duo, meanwhile quad doesn't get unique strategies for tanks that duo doesn't unless additional factors are added in (like a 2:2)

And again, it's annoying to be accused of talking about mere difficulty, followed by talk of how GTFO's cooperation is 4-man-centric because duo is hard.

It's not consequential if duo is hard, because difficulty isn't what's at stake, it's about play patterns.

#

Also, also, I think it's probably not even true that any 2:2 splits are designed as such, as opposed to being designed as splits generally. Could be wrong, but I doubt the devs would intend to exclude 1:3 or 3:1 splits, the intention is just that you split up, which only takes 2 players to do.

It is just very different in character for a split to have one end of it clearly want you to have two people on it by virtue of there being tanks, cscouts no foam, etc.

Again, R7D2, R7E1, and corrupted uplinks are some of the only counter-examples that come to mind where you'll encounter a cooperative mechanic on top of a split.

hasty bobcat
#

the wall of text

junior latch
#

Gtfo is a 4 player game which is focused on difficulty, but which mechanics can be reasonably beat by 2 players if these are good enough

If mechanics forced 4 players then youd run into issues such as bots not being sensible, difficulty either being too easy or too hard (if 4 split works correctly) for the intended experience

#

Gtfo simply isnt a 2 player game

junior latch
#

Then you worded it really badly at times

modern coral
#

If only I'd explained it multiple time before now

#

Vanilla doesn't force 4 players in even a soft sense, it doesn't fully invest in cooperative elements beyond being at leadt duo.

#

The extra 2 players are to make the game easier

#

Quad is purely for balancing difficulty (outside of the mentioned counter-examples)

hasty bobcat
#

ray i don't think we'd have more than 100-200 ppl who actually finished the game at this rate

#

maybe even lower

modern coral
#

Sky

#

that's a difficulty point

#

and a difficulty design point

hasty bobcat
#

it's too difficult for an average person

junior latch
#

wait couldnt we check steam achievements for this?

hasty bobcat
#

no idea

modern coral
#

I was never talking about a difference in difficulty between solo and duo and quad

lost lynx
#

So it's not acurrate

hasty bobcat
modern coral
#

But there is a major difference between how you can approach the game as a duo vs. solo that is not shared when jumping from duo to quad

lost lynx
#

But i don't think even half of the players that played GTFO before came back for R8

hasty bobcat
modern coral
#

While modded content can and does make use of the fact that quads can do things that duos can't

modders > devs

Does anyone have tips on R5C1? I think we have it down but just confirming. On the way back from completing secondary is it overly difficult to sprint through the two hub zones on the way back to extraction? Or should we be shooting it out and then running?

fringe garden
#

i mean you're not going to run through them without waking

naive rover
#

Also, for any of you smart nerd out there, why the hell does the Uplink in Zone 113 spawn enemies only one room away? That giant room in the back has enemies spawning like 2 feet from the door.

naive rover
proper iron
#

the error is only 2 giant shadown per wave. and it so slow you can either memorize path that you can run with out waking anything or quick clear room

naive rover
#

But won't the shadow bigs wake them anyways?

fringe garden
mellow hedge
fringe garden
#

the answer is unfortunately to just take scattergun and run and gun through the zones

proper iron
#

if you fast enough it not

mellow hedge
naive rover
mellow hedge
#

just rng

#

the strat tho is to have someone spawn block in the big room

naive rover
#

During the uplink? Where would that makethem do? Just aggro on the guy in the Hub room?

turbid stone

I guess I didn't realize that every room in the zone is connected to the uplink room.

fringe garden
#

so by spawnblocking big room you're forcing them to spawn in the other rooms that are neither big room nor terminal room

naive rover
#

Oh you meant that big back room. My bad.

#

I guess that is smart.

#

The first time we had the Uplink spawn in there today we got obliterated. We thought because that was 1 room away they couldn't spawn there at all.

naive rover
fringe garden
#

i think triple scatter + 1 burst cannon is probably the play tbh

#

burst cannon is just for shitting on the shadow giants from a safe distance at extraction scan

#

sactters for killing everything on path when getting there

proper iron
#

there're 2 cocoon rooms i recommend kill all the room that close to bulkhead door and then just run pass the first cocoon room

rose nova
#

triple scatter alv

#

just save ammo for the scattergun person

proper iron
#

pdw+hel rifle/gun go hard ngl

rose nova
#

like takin 3 foam launchers

fringe garden
#

naw if taking pdw angle sniper all the way

#

at least if you can do the quickswap tech

naive rover
#

On our best run so far we made it into the second hub room and woke it while a shadow big came in. bot died instantly, we regrouped at bridge where ShasXV died, I had MG so I literally can't stop the nine bigs coming in so I died trying to do something, but Theocog ran all the way back to Extraction but obviously died because long scan and not enough ammo.

proper iron
rose nova
#

yeah an mg is probs not the play for this level

#

there's like barely any places to really- make it shine

naive rover
#

We are doing scatter, mg, and sniper for specials. MG feels useful for the shadow uplink which is our biggest struggle right now

rose nova
#

the uplinks have chargers, the rooms have bigs and the S scans u could take something different

#

oh i would- change that sniper

#

sniper is not good regardless of anything

fringe garden
#

the mg is infinitely worse than sniper

rose nova
#

that's funny

naive rover
#

The Uplink spawns like 1 charger per wave. I get little overpen shots

fringe garden
#

at least if they can play sniper on it

rose nova
#

well even so still worth to change the sniper for just another scattergun or a hel weapon

naive rover
#

I was using Hel rifle before but I feel like it's only helping me in the hub rooms

rose nova
#

like it's not worth at all

proper iron
#

even if not pen hel weapon still good

rose nova
#

maybe a high cal?

#

less range but eh

naive rover
#

2nd Main uplink can spawn there though instead of Z118 sometimes.

fringe garden
#

i have vague memories of it being shadows but was a while back i played it

rose nova
#

only in sec there's shadows

naive rover
#

The Secondary obj is shadows

rose nova
#

or- well the end of main

naive rover
#

Whole zone is shadow sleepers, error alarm is 4 shadow sleepers, then there's the mother in secondary

rose nova
#

the funny

thick temple
rose nova
#

extremely hilarious

#

thanks ||r8b3||

naive rover
#

Why switch sniper though?

#

Our guy doing uplink does sniper so He's not shooting much anyways

rose nova
#

cuz sniper is like useless if u could just have a scattergun in this mission
is not gonna help with shadow giants, not with the uplinks, not with the S scans

#

maybe with the bigs on the hubs

#

and not with the scouts cuz there's 30 guns that can kill them too

fringe garden
#

pdw + sniper is fine if they can hit the hybrids and quickswap the shadow giants

rose nova
#

that's like tech i doubt they know

#

very niche tech

naive rover
#

our Sniper guy is very good at headshots on Bigs. He's also bio guy and objective so he's far from us most of the time playing support I guess you could say?

#

Something with more ammo would probably be good for Extraction though

#

Unless like you said double scatter would just eliminate the need to worry about the hub rooms on the way back

rose nova
#

i mean even if they hits bigs, they could just have something more flexible for the parts that they are shootin on

#

cuz snipers just gonna lag behind on anything that isn't a normal big or a hybrid

#

while a scattergun remains useful in ANY combat

naive rover
#

That's true

fringe garden
#

throw sawed off + hel shotty

#

and everything is just dead

rose nova
#

i guess if u just rely on mains like crazy but 3 scatterguns for me is sort of funny

#

i am proposing 2 cuz one is a sniper

#

like they are the same job

naive rover
#

one is also a bot so we are 3 manning this

rose nova
#

well- the bot can have ur mg KDMSKD

proper iron
#

give bot bio problem solve

rose nova
#

tbh r5c1 is the one level of give it a sentry maybe

naive rover
#

We have double burst sentry, bio, and mine

rose nova
#

with my skill when i completed it, i would've preferred havin info on the sleeping enemies

naive rover
#

me and bot have sentry

fringe garden
rose nova
#

yeah i would- take foam

#

might not help for the S scans much

#

but for the uplink it'll carry

fringe garden
#

1 of the main uplinks is permafoamable

rose nova
#

isn't it all 3?

naive rover
#

We only have problems doing the shadow uplink in secondary

proper iron
#

2 main uplink is guarantee

fringe garden
#

yeah and that too has a decent chance of being permafoamable

naive rover
#

Well the Z113 uplink kinda sucks but like we can beat that

upbeat yacht
naive rover
#

Z112 is baby mode compared to shadow uplink though

rose nova
rose nova
thick temple
#

nah sniper is quintissential cool factor
there's a whole game series about specifically being a solo sniper bro

rose nova
#

but if the maps as i remember

#

think so?

upbeat yacht
proper iron
#

if gonna pick sniper team must make sure they can hold small wave by just 3 or less which is not that hard

rose nova
#

jesus christ i forgot the sec uplink is tencodes

naive rover
naive rover
proper iron
#

then where is the problem

fringe garden
#

you cleared r4c1 so i don't see what the problem is

naive rover
#

And then the ping on them doesn't last nearly as long as normal enemies either so we lose track of the shadows constantly

fringe garden
#

bot bio tracker?

proper iron
#

if bring sniper is easy on early game. but hard on late game. you can change strat to be hard at first like bring some thermal or others so you can get easy at late game

naive rover
proper iron
#

unpopular opinion 2 bios

rose nova
#

yes in fact i do not agree

fringe garden
#

nah i was considering suggesting double bio cfoam mine

naive rover
rose nova
#

bot pings should be enough- and if u really wanna see sleeping enemies then i guess u can

proper iron
#

yes if the problem is you cant see shadow

fringe garden
#

ig for sec if one of you can click heads pr is a fine choice too

naive rover
#

Yeah we haven't tried bot bio

#

Holy crap the PR resurfaces

alpine dome
naive rover
#

I forgot about that

rose nova
#

pdw burst cannon so it doesn't have to be that- precise maybe?

naive rover
#

I should switch to PR

proper iron
fringe garden
#

pdw quick swap is for shadow giants, pr is for the smalls during uplink

rose nova
#

ah i guess

fringe garden
naive rover
#

Yes.

#

I need a normal gun. I hate PDW so much

fringe garden
#

big shadows don't have the ping disappear faster than normal enemies

alpine dome
rose nova
proper iron
#

need pdw sight not bullet haha

naive rover
#

But PR for the Shadow Uplink would make that much easier.

naive rover
fringe garden
#

pdw is a fine gun

#

it's not top tier but it holds its own easily

naive rover
fringe garden
proper iron
#

after finish sec uplink there no shadow error anymore

#

just giant

naive rover
#

Yes

alpine dome
#

If you break there legs would they walk slower?

proper iron
#

so the problem with bio is just after main uplink and during sec uplink

proper iron
#

but you'll see giant shadow floating which is funny

fringe garden
#

especially if everyone throws sawed off in too

naive rover
fringe garden
#

that was in reference to long uplink

#

r4c1 sec is 12 code uplink i believe

naive rover
#

Wait, uplink...

#

I'm thinking of C2 Pabulum. Hold on.

#

Wait there's still no shadows though on that.

fringe garden
#

c2 overload is shadows

naive rover
proper iron
#

you can keep sniper if someone in team can use quick swap tech with pdw+hel gun/rifle trust me. one person can hold uplink wave with this combo

naive rover
#

Sniper guy was using PR because of that at the time

fringe garden
#

slug pr quickswap new meta

naive rover
proper iron
#

shadow is slow there are plenty of time to aim

fringe garden
#

^gives solid time to line up pen

proper iron
#

at least easier than regular striker

naive rover
#

Oh your saying just use the pdw sight to see then just swap shoot

#

I guess that's a no brainer

#

I just have no brain. I am caught up now

fringe garden
#

honestly i really enjoy pdw + pump shotgun for holding shadows but it's far from optimal

naive rover
#

Well, this gives me lots to think about.

#

I will deliberate with the team.

#

Thank you all.

modern coral
#

Double bio w/ HEL Rifle is very strong

#

It's honestly a good shadow weapon, and unlike PR you're not crippled for giant rooms.

naive rover
#

Yeah I don't feel like we've done any better with me on MG. Figured it'd be good because I'd have more shots for the shadows during secondary uplink but I haven't killed more than with Hel Rifle. I've just held them long enough to reload I guess? It doesn't matter though because I can't see what I'm doing and keep missing so I'll make changes centered around sight like you guys mentioned.

#

Guess that should have been an easy call but I we're stuck in our ways. The harder levels with weirder enemies is certainly forcing us to try new things.

thick temple
#

nah fuck the haters use whatever you want gun rankings are a scam by big-vet to reinforce their ideals

proper iron
#

r5c1 teach me about shoot to kill not just to stagger

#

the problem with mg is you cant really do anything if all you do is shoot like 3-4 bullets then pause

fringe garden
#

carried hel rifle and swapped to mg for better wave clear aint no way

no R5C1

rose nova

r4c2 lmao

#

sorry u sounded so confident

#

and then the revelation

naive rover
#

R4C2 has shadows in the final main zone looking for data sphere

#

our sniper guy used PR in that so he could help us position better for sneaking those rooms

fossil horizon
#

But there's a bio tracker and flashlight, why use thermals for position BabyShooter

naive rover
#

Can't ping sleeping enemies

#

It's mostly to see where the heads are for melee

#

also shadow scouts

fringe garden
#

just hammer and heads don't matter

graceful geode
#

Yeah that's one of the many reasons why you should just bring hammer

#

Especially at R5 where things ramp up

naive rover
#

My only defense now is that we were scared back then?

#

remember, I'm the guy with a 4 hour win time on R4C2 PE

fringe garden
#

being slow is fine

naive rover
#

We do not play like that anymore.

graceful geode
#

PR is fine for shadows

fringe garden
#

hammer is the weapon to take when scared because it kills the most easily and effectively

graceful geode
#

But overall, if anyone on your team isn't using hammer, he should start now.

naive rover
#

We have all been on hammer since R4B2

#

That level forced us off of spears

#

but it also made us realize hammer is just better at literally everything except swing distance but who cares about range when you can run?

fringe garden
#

yes

On a side note, is it worth it to use sniper on sleepers if you're ridiculous off balance on ammo?

Um... Probably not but like, how bad do you want to see that ammo get wasted when you use a pack and you have 11% primary and 86% sniper?
