r1a1 with mines and cfoam is like the easiest shit ever

stark idol
#

Real

#

R8A1 is also pretty easy

#

That first class II isn’t real, a little baby scan

junior latch
#

I always remember r8a1 as horrible for it

Then i remember that the challenge run I did on it was only tools

#

and that explains the rest

unreal crystal
#

They should’ve added a ladder tool

#

So you can place a ladder for the strikers to path down

#

And then your friend can cfoam it

#

TRUE

They should've added gp-31 ultimatum

Thanks for the tips, tho I asked if you can do it solo or will it not count as achievement. Most likely not since it doesn't say alone. Also I'm sorry, I should've been more specific with my question.

You can do it solo without bots

Killing mom

#

Ah how can I explain this

#

We don't struggle "killing mom" as she's easy to kill

#

The room is just so big, and she's so fast

#

We didn't bring Cfoam, so she was running around like crazy

honest parrot
tidal jay
#

So much so we had to eat a second wave and fight a second mother, which ended up killing us

honest parrot
#

Or just have someone ignore everything and focus on mom specifically

tidal jay
#

I did, I tried, I was the scattergun

#

But I couldn't get close to her

honest parrot
#

Did she run away from you?

tidal jay
#

It must've been skill issue on my behalf, but there was another scattergun who couldn't get shots in either in time

tidal jay
honest parrot
#

If you find that difficult attempt to manipulate her into the open
She only births once she has line of sight on someone

tidal jay
#

It was the most frustrating mother encounter I've had

honest parrot
#

And since she can have los really far on that map you'll have to try and get her to a good spot in order to kill her proper

#

Then again, it's R5c2
It sucks half the time anyways

tidal jay
#

We camped the Tank room and waited for her to approach but she just never did

#

So we had to run out to get her, soon as we did babies came along and we took lots of damage

#

Again, we killed her

#

But with like 30 seconds on the clock

#

So second mother was on her way

honest parrot
tidal jay
#

Yeah that one

#

We haven't gotten to overload yet

#

Does she have LoS through the floor grills?

#

Like

#

Can we stand on that platform in the middle and hide?

#

Or does she see us through the grill?

honest parrot
#

r5c2 pe is bound to be painful anyways

#

So don't worry about it

tidal jay
#

I'll attempt again tomorrow, I'm not gonna let this thing beat me

#

But damn was that frustrating

honest parrot
#

If you think that was frustrating wait till you see overload

tidal jay
#

I am not excited...

vernal nebula

#

in r5c2 reactor dealing with late spawns is easy since codes don't require teamscans. holding in tank room is fine, just have 1 person grab code asap while rest deals with stragglers

vernal nebula
#

I think the issues are at it's worst on the last wave, earlier waves typically only have a small handful of stragglers or just 1 at most.

junior latch
graceful geode
#

I mean unless you cheese the Overload by running away

junior latch
graceful geode
#

or whatever the trick was

junior latch
#

its easier to do sec first
but in og people did overload first since it was the most likely wipe point

graceful geode
#

I usually got bonked by BBCs or fucked up some other way

honest parrot
#

It's sort of a tie on stuff

nova swallow
#

Any suggestions for a level with an early tank for the achievement?

junior latch
tidal jay
graceful geode
junior latch
#

depends on how deep you are in the game too

#

R8D2 is the fastest tank thats asleep

nova swallow
junior latch
#

R4E1 KEKW

#

you even get to retry every 4 min

tidal jay
#

Yeah R4E1 mf just runs at you

#

And it's error

graceful geode
#

I mean R4E1 is certanly fastest

nova swallow
#

Yup thanks to all of you

tidal jay
#

God I still have R4E1 Ptsd

#

What a level

nova swallow
#

Also need the achievement with a quick mother kill. Where to do that?

junior latch
#

R6D4

#

R3B2

graceful geode
#

R6D4 is the closest I can think in terms of how quick to get to it

#

But it's behind a blood door

junior latch
#

R6D4 is fastest generally

graceful geode
#

and has an error

junior latch
#

R8E2 can be faster in theory

#

easiest is def R3B2 tho

graceful geode
#

Yeah

junior latch
#

you get there in like 10 min tops

#

and then shes asleep

burnt flume
graceful geode
#

R3B2's 2 alarm away but it's like 3 sleepers with it and a giant room

nova swallow
#

Alright thanks again

fringe garden
#

people are forgetting about r6d2

honest parrot
#

(why)

fringe garden
#

ig it isn't sleeping in r6d2

vernal nebula
#

There are sleeping mothers in that level

junior latch
#

oh wait I said R6D4 twice

#

mb

#

R6D2 is fastest generally

#

is what I meant to say

fringe garden
#

alr ✅

tidal jay
#

I know R4E1 like I know my house

#

(Layout)

#

Not the bugs or that sorta stuff

honest parrot
#

Is R4E1 that bad
usually when i do it I simply forget about what happens

tidal jay
#

It's not that bad of a level

#

But it requires you to be good at certain things

#

Secondary is a reactor that requires code diving while others defend

#

Most wipes usually happen there, either divers made a mistake or the defenders get overwhelmed and mothers wake up

#

If both parties manage to do their task successfully, you're likely to finish the level without problem

#

There's just a Tank and Mom at the end

#

You gotta separate them because fighting them both at once is just risky

#

I know people can do it, but they're not your typical pub party

rose nova
#

one of the reasons i think r5 is so tremendously different from r1-r4 is cuz they knew they didnt had much new things to show, so they really wanted to make it up with very funky style missions a la e1 d2 maybe even d1 with the returning to the past mission

#

i just started thinkin about that and it made sense to me

#

but it also inadvertently blew up the tendency of new and funkier missions, thus making the bases for r6, r7 and eventually r8 having all way different styles of missions than their older counterparts

#

in a weird way, 10c close bankruptcy in r5 really made the game blow up in a creative rush like crazy

lunar island
#

close bankruptcy?

#

do tell

rose nova
# lunar island do tell

10c with their fomo like structure and no dlcs or microtransactions as an indie company well did what it did, and they were partially bought by tencent by r6

#

i believe they talked about how tencent let them did anything, but suggested lowering the difficulty, which they did with r6, and its also why it is as grand

lunar island
#

do you have a vod or something?

#

i'd like to hear more about this

#

i played ogr1 to about half way through r3, then skipped 4 & 5, came back for 6

rose nova
#

oh i have no idea where i saw it, its been way too long i researched it like a year or so ago

#

no wait i kinda remember

#

the issue is that i think the vods not available any longer

#

cuz it was a twitch vod with a spanish streamer interviewing a dev
goddamn it internet please
ok i guess ur not getting an answer anymore

#

they started loading as i restarted discord i i wanna jump willingly into r4c2 and die

They just jam these things full of tougher monsters and constant alarms.

rose nova
#

sometimes u dont even know what objective ur doing

lunar island
#

matter wave projector shenanigans

rose nova
#

r6 defo gets better on that aspect, r7 might be similar but u got something to accompany the missions that makes them feel alive

naive rover
#

Yeah it’s been nice understanding exactly what we need to do when we see an objective pop up at this point in the game. Right now it’s just “can we deal with this type of enemies in this type of objective”?

rose nova
#

and r8 is r8 and r8 is the best rundown

lunar island
#

eh, i really really like r6

#

maybe its just because i'm a destination addict and r6b1 is the only level where we get to truly explore

#

(even if its only a brief segment)

rose nova
#

trying to speak in non spoilerinos is hard

lunar island
#

i just look at r8 and think how painful the missions are to play for me... idk

#

i prefer slower paced missions.

#

(dont get me wrong, r6d4 is hell in a handbasket)

#

but the majority were much slower

#

even d3 up until the reactor

rose nova
#

it is harder, and it is less replayable but i think the first impression defo hits way better
theres only one real bad mission in r8

#

i meaan is r8 that fast even?
||r8c1 maybs, r8e1 obvs, r8b4 sort of, and then e2|| the rest u can just sort of take ur time

lunar island
#

i wish there was an expedition like r6b1... but like 12x longer

#

or something along those lines except in the inner

modern coral
lunar island
#

it reminds me of times where i'd spend hours scouring every inch of every zone in a level

#

i had 40+ completions of r6b1 in OGr6... most of which were solo

#

just so i could spend more time on destination studying it

rose nova
#

at least for me

lunar island
#

i've said this before, i don't enjoy gtfo for the gameplay. i enjoy it for the story

#

i'd play the hell out of a Dear Esther style walking sim in gtfo

rose nova
#

i guess we just like judgin from a diff perspective [even if i do enjoy r8 greatly for story stuff]

lunar island
#

idk... r8 feels i guess... too straight forward

#

i used to argue for hours during r6 and r7 about the story and theories

#

allens

#

and many more

#

most really dislike how convoluted gtfo is... I kinda enjoy the puzzle in that.

#

explaining and walking people through the lore only gives me an even deeper satisfaction.

#

i could genuinely talk for hours about even the most insignificant details

#

like the different sections of garganta, to how they got freight down into the complex

R5 is worse

#

More difficult i mean

#

Well, TBH for me r5 was easier than r4

slender flare
#

I'd say R5 is just unnecessarily long

#

It's the side quest rundown

daring ginkgo
#

Nah, compare it to r4 where almost every lvl have pe

#

R5 is not so bad

slender flare
#

I mean at least it's PE

#

Think about like R5D1 and how long sec and main are

#

Like it drags on

#

But R4 at least makes it somewhat shorter despite having PE

#

I just feel like some levels are too long

#

Unnecessarily

junior latch
graceful geode
#

It kinda depends, personally what I believe is that they were pondering between having sectors adding just a gimmick to the level (R5A2 Secondary for example) or it being a whole different level inside a level (R5C2 Secondary). It's telling that R7 has less sectors than the clusterfuck that are R4 and R5 on that regard. I'd preferred them to stick to the gimmick solution because, while perhaps monotonous, you'd have more to do with more levels having sectors cut down and be a whole different expedition. Mainly because, to be honest, with one exception, I cant really think of a pub that asked me NOT to do PE when avaiable: they all want to actually finish the level and never go back to it anyway.

#

I apologize for the wall of text.

fringe garden
#

ok that just brings edit page but point is if you put Burst Cannon in searchbar it takes you to page but putting burst cannon it doesn't

graceful geode
#

Note that, despite what it says, Burst Cannon CAN kill Cscout to front if you hit all the burst

pseudo sedge
#

for me it feels like to make a good story that happened in the past convoluted and hard to decipher is possible, but for a story that is happening to the character you are playing it would feel... weird. The only way i could think of is having the timeline of events purposefully hidden and doing missions in another order.

#

(note: i am talking about the general story of our og team getting their chips out, the meltdown starting, og betraying alt and the 'escape', as details such as henriksson's death could be more hidden)

graceful geode
#

No offense but I see a disjointed mess that wasn't ever planned

#

They just improvised at around OG R6

#

I had a talk with a new guy some days ago about this, and they expected R6-R7-tier storytelling with Schaeffer stuff to begin MUCH SOONER than half the game in.

#

There's the audiologs but they are kinda there and that's it.

#

The game, as a whole, was perhaps planned to be something different from what we got, the dev either never had the time or did bite off more than they could chew

shut vapor
#

there wasn't even the beginnings of a story until R4 schaeffer

graceful geode
#

Hence why every stuff they introduced feels "out there", with Sectors being present for R4 and onwards then kinda pushed somewhat aside during later rundowns

#

The Logs tell a story and all, but it's just text and sometimes an audio

rose nova
#

do u think by 2019 they really re-estructured the entire lore to what it is now

graceful geode
#

IMHO they were focused on the gameplay and the story/lore was just there to justify it.

rose nova
#

yeah no it seems pretty clear that fnaf style they just invented shit along the way

#

good shit, really cool shit but they invented it along the way

#

if only i had internet

#

to express it

graceful geode
#

Let's give an example. I did a pool for the most forgettable rundown and R4 won.

#

Perhaps it's a slightly uneven example, but R4 is one of the biggest in terms of how long/how many levels it has.

#

The levels simply are forgettable, perhaps, because they're also just... there.

#

You could say the "story" was told via the hsu neonate thingy during R2 and R3 but then it's forgotten

#

They just gave up and decided to add more stuff to level/gameplay, like sectors or cscouts or invisible scouts (OG R3 and OG R4 didnt have cscouts)

#

That's why I never cared about lore or the story: it feels like it's improvised for the most part.

honest parrot

(meanwhile I can't remember any of the levels even if you show me them)
(My memory has been degrading I think)

hardy zenith
#

r7 is the least forgetable but thats also when i started playing and it was the only rundown available so im pretty biased in that sense

hardy zenith

because if you don't learn the mission as you go, and you just follow orders, you're not gonna remember shit when you finish it

Or was it an extract alarm

No I think it was an error

Hey! Looking to try and beat r1a1! New to the game and I would love a group! Me and my friend tried but as a duo, and barely any info to the game, we only got half way each time, pretty much the 2nd security door before we just die tbh, we're so bad! But I would like to play with 3 other more experienced people!

I'm not asking to be carried? I'm asking for advice???

And I already did the tutorial and I watched Mark's videos 5 years ago but the layout has since changed

i always do if i play with newies n stuff, well when i did

lost lynx
mighty onyx
#

Exactly

lost lynx
#

At least the game is overall a lot more easier than back then

mighty onyx
#

And me and my friend tried to do the stealth kill on the tentacle dude but for some reason it no work?

#

How is it easier whaat

lost lynx
#

Hammer/spear full charge to the head

mighty onyx
#

Marks playthrough looked so easy

#

We tried that

lost lynx
#

Knife and bat needs full charge to the back of the head

mighty onyx

But we'll see about the spear

#

Could be poor timing too

mighty onyx

I do the sledgehammer yes, and I tried to hit the back of the head when the tentacles retract but then they just walk away! So I run at it and then it hears me like HUH

lost lynx

Also hammer is way better
Fast charge, good damage and can sprint

yea and in the latest one he said that the spear was the best, alongside a knife for plebs-

lost lynx
#

Oh my god

#

Well

#

Spear is bad bad

lost lynx
mighty onyx
#

Okay so can someone give me instructions to the tentacle dude to kill it stealthily?

tiny turtle
lost lynx
mighty onyx
#

Then maybe my friend and I can just continue to duo then once we get passed that

lost lynx
#

Once you touch the feelers You have 1 second and a half to kill him

mighty onyx
#

Okay so we CAN run at the tentacle dude without alarming him?

tiny turtle
#

kinda, once they're touched there's a small time frame before they scream

lost lynx
mighty onyx
#

Alright cool cool

tiny turtle
#

but if you're touching em when you're all the way out-reached you likely won't make it to them

lost lynx
#

Making another kind of sound like running and jumping will make him take out the tentacles

mighty onyx
#

Okay so no running after I was told to run???

#

😭

lost lynx
#

Read

mighty onyx
#

I'm going to need a video or something

tiny turtle
#

it only makes the tentacles come out, where you still get a bit of time to kill them

mighty onyx
#

Charging up your swing takes forever whaat

tiny turtle
#

so if you move towards them while the tentacles are retracting you can kill them before they start moving

#

yea so charge it before going in

lost lynx
#

Aim to the head

mighty onyx
#

Ah ok

#

Ok

lost lynx
#

And smack that mf

mighty onyx
#

Ok

obtuse locust
#

just had an incoming wave randomly trigger a huge respawning room on R5 C1, second unintended wipe in 4 runs, huge time investment randomly getting thrown away is pretty frustrating, had a cell get stuck under the map stripping completion of an secondary after a bot dropped it. do you guys run into run wiping jank often?

lost lynx
#

Game ending bugs/glitches arent as common as someone would think

honest parrot
#

Well then again half of us don't play bots

#

They do up the jank factor by a leg

Most bugs in this game are usually much less deliberating

obtuse locust

that's good to hear, we three man + bishop and bots troll a bit but are good in other ways, thanks for the input. Is it a mechanic that shadows aggro rooms?

honest parrot
#

Most of these won't kill you outright

lost lynx
#

Screen randomly having color bugs

honest parrot
#

Their scream will wake rooms

lost lynx
#

Also enemies touching each other right?

honest parrot
#

You're probably just not familiar with shadow screams cause they sound really different from normal screams

honest parrot
obtuse locust
#

I mean a wave spawns in an respawning room, freshly spawned wave aggros respawning room as well. I didnt know about enemies touching each other, how should you mitigate the said circumstance?

lost lynx
#

How did a Wave spawned in the respawn room?

#

🤔

#

I don't think thats possible in R5C1

#

(other than the error)

honest parrot
#

I think it's the error that spawned in the respawn zone during the get one cell to unlock a door part?

#

The error probably also triggered the bot to drop the item thus the softlock

lost lynx
#

Yeah that makes sense

obtuse locust
# lost lynx How did a Wave spawned in the respawn room?

R5 C1 has you stealth through two large respawning rooms usually full or giants/hybrids usually with a few non-respawning scouts mixed in, after you push past said rooms you do uplinks either 1 or two rooms away, the secondary obj is just the same except you get constant shadows and must do another uplink.

honest parrot
#

Was bot the one carrying bio

#

Or did someone else have it

obtuse locust
#

im specifically reffering to the hold after secondary bulkhead is opened

#

our bot bishop had bio

#

i see your reffering to a cell, that was a separate soft-lock, im only reffering to an incoming wave triggering a respawning room, i hope that makes things more clear

honest parrot
#

Do we have a page on the wiki for scream mechanics?

#

Let me see...

lost lynx
obtuse locust
#

holy your right! after 1.5 sec any awake mob can scream assuming they are within 2 rooms!

honest parrot
#

Yeah
It's an intended mechanic I think

obtuse locust
#

pain, im glad to have an answer, thanks for the help!

lost lynx
#

Yeah youll most likely have to deal with the respawn room one way or another

obtuse locust
#

sounds like you clear it before starting uplink one room away.

honest parrot
#

Honestly I've forgotten half the levels in the game so can't give much advice

#

As long as you don't shoot respawn rooms they should be fine?
Scaler guides are always something you can refer to if you're at the end of your rope

obtuse locust
#

im good, just got jammed up by the scream mechanic, its easy to assume waves wont wake rooms when the only difference between that and this is a shut door, just an obscure mechanic.

#

thanks again fellas!

Should I refund this game while I have. A chance I like the game alot but it's not super beginner friendly and I thought the community would be here to help me but it's lowkey dead and I don't have any friends to play with so should I tuff it out or get my money back while still possible Sry for rambling

I think

It might be

If there's few people playing, the definition applies

There's thi thing

I've seen people do nowadays

game is dead

It does NOT matter who said X or Y

What matters if X or Y is true

which is a completly independant fact

junior latch
honest parrot
#

Well for that one guy early today he was going to refund no matter what it seemed so I just talked about it like that
Seemed like he had very bad matchmaking experience

graceful geode
#

Let's face it: if the standard for "dead" is "Zero people are playing and noone ever has it open" the definition is never going to apply

graceful geode
#

It's also weird how you all jump to take when it has been commonly referred to "at its last leg" usually

junior latch
#

Was the game dead before R8 released?

#

because we legit have more people playing the game rn than during those time frames

graceful geode
junior latch
#

And?

graceful geode

So I really doubt people will suddenly begin playing again

that has nothing to do whether a game is dead LOL

#

Ok so how is a game dead

  • player count is going down and it isnt played anymore
  • super hard to find lobbies
  • game is left in a non working state (servers shutdown etc)
#

is oneof those true?

graceful geode
#

"it isn't played anymore" is such a disingenous point...

#

there's people playing L4D right now

#

the first one

#

Now tell me it ain't dead

lost lynx
graceful geode
#

There's also a couple of lobbies sometimes

#

And that game is a working state

#

So by your definition would still apply to being very much alive

honest parrot
#

Or something else

lost lynx
#

Dead game definition:
When there isnt enough playerbase to complete or enjoy a game under normal means

honest parrot
#

Cause that new guy was going to leave no matter what we said back there

lost lynx
#

Thats the ACTUAL definition of dead game

graceful geode
#

To reiterate my point: "Is GTFO 100% dead?" Not yet, but it's very probably going to be, and with the standards of some people that, logically, want to find a lobby in their continent and kinda at all times, it might aswell be considered dead or at most on its last leg.

junior latch
# graceful geode Now tell me it ain't dead

id say it isnt in comparision to actually dead games

L4D also has a sequel which steals players from it

If we had GTFO 2 (and it was better than GTFO like l4d2 is) then GTFO player count would plummet

graceful geode
#

That applies to any damn Deathmatch game as along as 2 people play it

fringe garden
#

do people actually care about finding a lobby in their continent

#

outside of the people who dont' speak english

graceful geode
#

We're talking about this game

as in the specific one

junior latch
graceful geode
#

The fact that L4D has a sequel doesn't make L4D any more alive

gtfo hasnt been losing active players

we actually have a more stable "active playerbase" (due to newcomers) than during some later parts of the rundown sequence (before R7)

Doesnt GTFO has 500-1000 players on average

(aug-nov are usually dips for gtfo btw)

graceful geode
#

Because you want to have more players rather than being honest

junior latch
#

saying the game is dead

#

is dishonest tho

#

same for "its dying"

because that implies it will be dead very shortly
