Exactly, let's say you and Jimmy played with me and both really didn't like me and talk about ne in dms. That's what I meant.

Hey I'm completely new to the game. All I've done is get most of the way through the first level solo

Play with bots

Solo needs a decent amount of experience

but its scary to go solo which is fun

You wont get far

you can't make it up i think i got 7 or 8 hybrids this time

#

oh well i survived this time at least

#

actually going to clip that

junior latch

#

first wave

#

im solo

#

so kiting

#

there is nothing but 1st wave

junior latch
#

yea

#

thats a bit unfortunate

#

3-4 is usual

fringe garden
#

funniest part is that my attempts die during ladderfoamed alarms because i keep not foaming enough/foaming just too little to not have time to uncap fps and have a playable game

junior latch
#

Just saying

Capping fps doesnt rly do much for 2nd or 3rd surge

#

it has some ok impact on the normal alarm and 1st error surge

fringe garden
#

why doesn't it help for 3rd surge

junior latch
fringe garden
#

they spawn 1 room away?

junior latch
#

how you ladderfoam would matter way more than capping there

junior latch
#

but they get stuck on the big ladder

fringe garden
#

oh yeah they are close

fringe garden
junior latch
#

ladderfoam becomes rly strong 2+ away

#

fps capping starts being a thing 2+ rooms away and becomes insane when like 5 rooms out

junior latch
fringe garden
#

this attempt (that died minutes ago) i put 88+160%

#

so like 250

junior latch
#

How the fuck are you foaming for that not to last the full surge

fringe garden
#

it lasts the full surge

junior latch
#

okโ€ฆ

fringe garden
#

it just barely didn't last the class 4 after

junior latch
#

like, you arent under time pressure there

fringe garden
#

... there is like 40% foam remaining on map that i have access to there

junior latch
#

Foam a bit less

#

So it lasts for surge

#

250% foam already is so much

fringe garden
#

i could probably get away with like 80% for just the surge yeah

#

refoaming for class 4 kinda sucks though because you can get fucked by hybrids jumping onto ladder

i'm not playing that

idk i run r5e1 on 3060 mobile while recording at above 60 fps

hasty bobcat
#

yea i have 580

#

no wonder

fringe garden
#

i don't think 580 is average team

graceful geode
#

580 as in RX 580

#

which is around a GTX 1060

gaunt nacelle
#

I donโ€™t think 580 runs anymore

graceful geode
#

Roughly, going from memory

#

Unless sky means a GTX 580

gaunt nacelle
#

Wasnโ€™t it the 1070 ti or 1080 ti that was like the god tier gpu for price?

hasty bobcat
graceful geode
#

Which, by then, yeah, but I doubt that can even run it

fringe garden
#

sky i don't think 8 year old gpu is average

graceful geode
# hasty bobcat ye

I approve for not bending to Jensen the magic black leather jacket man

gaunt nacelle

Sky i think zed is trying to gaslight you

graceful geode
#

On Steam survey

#

1060 was the MOST popular card some years ago

#

and a 580 is around that

gaunt nacelle
#

(Yes im delulu)

hasty bobcat
#

trust it is average

#

in my eyes

fringe garden
#

idk i'd want a 4090 ti considering they don't exist

graceful geode
#

It's certanly NOT average anymore but I'd struggle to say it's bad. I played GTFO R7 release with a 1060 and it was fine at 1080p all low

anyways sky r4e1 duo sub 55?

Duos though is fine

Nah most of us use hammer cause it's the good all-around option

bat and spear goat

#

yeah i just like spear and bat

honest parrot
#

Bat's good for stagger

native dew
#

spear is fun if you have a duo

#

and bat is fun solo

honest parrot
#

Spear has some issues with loud clearing

native dew
#

only going spear if i have a duo tbf

lost lynx
honest parrot
#

But is really useful in giant stealth and scout stabs

native dew
#

for giants

#

ya

lost lynx
#

you can easily do it with hammer

mellow hedge
#

bat is good in the tutorial :D

honest parrot
mellow hedge
#

unironically spear is just a beginner trap

#

just play hammer

#

Oh actually is there a solo guide somewhere

uh its

b2 i think

honest parrot
#

r1?

lost lynx
#

which b2

native dew
#

r1b2 was annoying because i couldnt figure out how to deal with the like missle giants

#

got a plan for them now tho

#

so

#

just gotta try again

honest parrot
#

Bring something like BC for the bots and they should take care of them?

native dew
#

oh true

honest parrot
#

If it's a chicken (Big Shooters) just melee and bully them

native dew
#

wait im lost maybe its not b2?

#

man

#

idk been too long since i tried

#

imma just lock in and game

#

then come back if i got issues lol

#

thanks for the help

#

i think its c1 with the rocket guys

honest parrot
#

The reactor?

native dew
#

prob

honest parrot
#

Or some other Rundown's c1

#

Cause there's like 8 rundowns

native dew
#

yeah r1

#

sorry

#

only on r1

#

cause i been playing it in order of the rundowns

honest parrot
#

Eh @lost lynx does the pasta work for solo?

lost lynx
#

no

native dew
#

yeah cause b2 is like

#

collect tags right

#

just annoying

#

its c1

lost lynx
#

c1 is reactor

native dew
#

yeah

#

that one hurts

#

just gotta trial and error it ig

lost lynx
#

Captain America: puts foot on chair "So you are having trouble with R1C1"

a reactor is ultimately 3 parts,
1 Wave Defense
2 gathering resources in between
3 getting the code into the terminal in time
If you already know how R1C1's reactor works, then its just the first two things you need, and they can go hand in hand

the most popular place to defend for many reasons is the bridge tile. the hole in the wall at the south end is a great choke point where you can get angles and focus your sentries, the bridge itself is a perfect funnel if/as you fall back, and its only about a 30 second run to the reactor terminal.

when you start looting after the shooting, you have quite a lot of resources around you to spend as the code person runs out and runs back. and on longer warm up times for the later codes, you have enough time to run forward and loot in previous areas.

when giants spawn having someone with a good weapon for bigs like hel rifle is useful (especially for hybrids) as well as saving tool by only having 2 sentries down for most waves, saving it for later waves or the waves with Hybrids (4, 6, 8).

this is definitely a 3 sentry + 1 bio tracker level, and when you learn all sentries are not created equal.
Burst is the best all-arounder.
Sniper sentry thrives with bio tracking and the long sight lines on this level.
shot gun sentry is in the game
Autosentry is in the game.

if you have a bot, they are a boss with the biotracker so give them that, and if you have three bots god go with you.

native dew
#

what kinda kits should bots have?

#

oh

#

well

#

that tells me

honest parrot
native dew
#

i can get through lots of it, just that last wave with the big guys

#

well

#

few waves

#

and yeah

honest parrot
#

Your runbacks for ammo are going to be more painful than the defences themselves tbh

native dew
#

what is the like difference in uh

#

like hel weapons and normal ones

lost lynx
#

they hit multiple enemies with one bullet

native dew
native dew
#

okay

#

so ignore normal sent and shotgun one?

#

only burst and sniper?

#

guessing best setup for me is just gonna be 3 sentry and a bot with bio, but save one of the turrets for the last waves

#

hadnt really thought about moving up for my defence but honestly dont know why i havent, guess im scared of having to run too far to punch in the codes

mellow hedge
native dew
#

not a bad idea

mellow hedge
#

but yeah never take shotgun sentry

native dew
#

hmm

#

okay

native dew
mellow hedge
#

and theres not a lot of situations in general play where auto sentry is worth to take

native dew
#

idk what to give like

#

the bots for guns

mellow hedge
#

mainly because lack on knowledge

native dew
#

idk what is good

mellow hedge
native dew
#

myb

#

wrong reply

#

but okay

#

with the sentry thing is it just because the bio track ones are better? or what?

#

the burst seems to miss alot

mellow hedge
#

the burst sentry does not miss

#

it has like actual aimbot

#

and can switch between enemy in the burst

native dew
#

hm

mellow hedge
#

its very good

native dew
#

weird

#

okay then run burst, i just thought the other ones would be decent with the bio track buff but rip

#

๐Ÿ˜ญ

#

sniper for giants

#

never shotgun

#

and yeah

#

alr

#

makes sense

#

and with the melee the hammer is the best all round? i really liked the bat because if i messed up i could melee like 2-3 guys or something

#

but i guess its just a bit more charge for more range and dmg

#

rip my bat๐Ÿ’”

mellow hedge
#

knife is for a bunch of smalls

#

hammer is just an all rounder

#

and very good

native dew
#

oh fair

compact folio
mellow hedge
#

bat kinda just niche

#

its shines in speedruns

#

thats kinda it

#

its alright for general gameplay

native dew
#

its just fun

#

makes sense that knife is better tho

#

for smalls at least

compact folio
#

After I got better at the game and started to try things I actually started to like and enjoy bat

native dew
#

yeah i mean im having fun solo but lotta my friends dont like this kinda game so i just gotta slog thru it until im better at the game

#

the kits are fun but idk

That's too bad

Its real fun with a friend group that plays somewhat reguraly

yeah i had like 2 others but they just dont like it

cant really be upset cause i took that chance when i bought it

yeah

LOL

#

barely even tried the game

#

sucks ngl

#

but ay

#

it happens

I feel like people don't soft quit and try other missions to re moralize themselves enough when they are stuck

native dew
#

also 100% hd?

#

damn

real monolith
#

Yep

native dew
#

its just trial and error for me

#

if it doesnt work try a different solution

#

i get why its not fun for them though

compact folio
#

It's just rough that they quit so early SCsobbing

native dew
#

yeahh lol, i wish it was fun for them

compact folio
#

It's a game where the more skilled you are the more enjoyment you get out of playing it

native dew
#

i was tryna get them back on and prolly could if it was a full group, but they would probably drop it as soon as it got boring

compact folio
#

When does it get boring SCamiajoke

native dew
#

thats 90% of the fun for this kinda game

native dew
#

i get its a bummer but like

#

man

#

๐Ÿ˜ญ

compact folio
#

My friend group takes most missions slow

native dew
#

its alr i just dont think the game is for them lol

compact folio
#

We are doing hour and a half missions unless we intentionally pick up the pace

native dew
#

wish i knew before i spent the money, but i also did take that risk lol

compact folio
native dew
#

easier if your slower tbh

#

fast is hard

compact folio
#

One of my friends probably doesn't love the game as much as the rest of us, but play it anyway because its the group game and he does it to be with the group

native dew
#

yeah that is fair, gotta get me a group for this game like that lmao

#

duo is fun but with 4 its just

#

different

#

a whole different game

compact folio
#

Everyone knows their roles, there doesn't have to be too many commands given, its nice

native dew
#

sounds really fun lol, i love the terminal but my friend would always see it first and types at like 10 wpm๐Ÿ˜ญ

#

c foam is really good seeming too

#

but i cant find a good usecase with bots

compact folio
#

Bots do not great with foam

native dew
#

๐Ÿ’”

#

yeah

#

i usually foam doors when i use it but like

#

that just delays it

#

so i dont see a huge point

You need a mine with it

question for like anyone that knows behind the scenes or dev choices

#

why would glowsticks not reveal the shadow mobs in some way?

#

it seems like an obvious choice to me that that is what the utility of that item would be best suited for

#

if something like long flashlight works best for spitters, and lock melter in packed rooms, fog repellers (obv.), etc.

lost lynx
kindred shell
#

seems like glowsticks would have a very key niche in shadow reveals

#

idk it seems to me that if utility items should have some sort of niche that "it allows a stationary flashlight to be placed for the darkness" feels like something missed

lost lynx
#

The point of glowsticks is to iluminate an area without waking up enemies (this is kinda like a stationary flahslight?)

rare wren
#

Is ALT R2E1 easier than the original?

modern coral
rare wren
#

Do you think it's a fun mission?

modern coral
#

Ending is very fun

#

As a whole, no, lol.

rare wren
#

Okay so it's not a skill issue on my end kekw

modern coral
#

It's like two levels

rare wren
#

I'm fine to queue into every other level TBH but something in me just doesn't wanna touch it again for a while

#

But fuuuuuuck that big circle room is hot

modern coral
#

You have "harder than R2 D-tier, aesthetically trying to seem like a harder level" part of the level.

#

And then you have "real E-tier"

#

And the real E-tier is the only interesting part of the level

#

*and first surge

#

First surge slaps

rare wren
proper iron
#

our gun is stronger have more ammo and less sleeper what make alt still on par with OG?

modern coral

3rd and 4th alarms are ladder gaming

modern coral
rare wren
proper iron
#

oh i get it

modern coral
#

I don't think player power level really matters for individual level design, ngl

modern coral
#

First two surges are reasonably hard

#

Everything else before error is ZZZzzzz

rare wren
modern coral
#

It is just a

#

Scatter walks through rooms

#

and kills shadow giants

rare wren
#

We were trying to be a bit more conservative I think is the problem

modern coral
#

There's a bit too much ammo on the level

#

You might not feel that way if your weapons are meh, and the players aren't very cracked

#

But experienced players are just killing everything to skip the stealth

rare wren
#

I was doing Hel Revo and Hel Rifle and wasn't really low on ammo

modern coral
#

Strong loadout

rare wren
#

I'm bad enough to balance it don't worry kekw

modern coral
#

Scatter swings shadow giants the most, you have to play a bit more carefully w/ other guns to maximize back damage and all.

modern coral
#

Stronger than most guns, but kinda low ammo, so you have to play carefully w/ it anyway.

rare wren
#

Really?

#

I've been using it more lately and ammo feels fine

modern coral
#

By carefully I just mean, you want to open on a shadow giant from behind, and melee small shadows.

#

It has low ammo compared to Scatter, which is very overpowered, and HEL Rifle can outvalue it if you're taking it in situations where you know you will get long giant lines.

#

(which is not R2E1 for HEL Rifle, but)

rare wren
#

High level Burst Cannon play is killing like three shitters in a burst, right?

modern coral
#

Yes, it gives you a wave clear option

rare wren
modern coral
#

But for wave clear, HEL Gun and HEL Rifle are hyper-eco

#

and BC is not hyper-eco, it's just solid.

rare wren
#

Hel Gun is typically much harder to use but better if you can, right?

modern coral
#

50/50

#

HEL Gun is harder to use at a minimal level

#

But they both have unique skill expression when you're fully utilizing them

#

You can definitely be "lazy" on both and not be hitting crazy lines while getting good enough value.

#

Also just good at different things

#

HEL Gun is a bit more well-rounded, HEL Rifle excels at special targets and is finnicky for normals

rare wren
#

Also I feel like I'm lining up 2 or 3 shitters with it but only killing one

#

Is this a skill issue

modern coral
#

Which one?

rare wren
#

Hel Rifle

modern coral
#

You're probably missing w/out realizing it since you can't directly see the exact stance of the enemies behind

#

The 1.2s charge-up can also throw where you expect the shot to land a little

rare wren
#

I'm going for body shots usually

modern coral
#

Striker body is p thin

#

And the arms make the hitbox look wider where it isn't

rare wren
#

Practice more?

modern coral
#

It is just practice

#

Learning when a line-up is about to appear, learning to wiggle to get better shots, etc.

#

HEL Rifle is genuinely very difficult to use for strikers

rare wren
#

Isn't wiggling typically negative?

#

My group's been saying not to cause we end up shooting each other

modern coral
#

w/ HEL Gun you just shoot individual enemies and get accidental lines sometimes, and if you're really good you pick the head to aim at depending on which shot gives you a better line.

modern coral
rare wren
modern coral
#

If you see the shot, yes, lines are all about getting high value per shot.

modern coral
#

and the lazy way to use it is very good

rare wren
modern coral
#

Scatter and BC are the only non-pen specials that hold a candle to the pen specials.

#

and they both do so because they are incredibly busted in their own rights.

#

Pen is just an incredibly powerful mechanic all-around

rare wren
#

Does ease of use factor into a weapon's general quality?

#

I feel like I always see high level play with the Carbine and CS

modern coral
#

I wouldn't say so. It can have some bearing on personal choice, but even there I think it's taken too seriously and can be a major pitfall.

#

If you learn how to use the strongest guns, that's an incredible advantage that you can't really get access to any other way.

rare wren
#

Yeah cause I like the Carbine but I feel like it pisses through ammo

modern coral
#

Carbine is actually a comfort weapon

rare wren
modern coral
#

funnily enough

rare wren
#

Just click on a head then a body

modern coral

But it doesn't seem worth using the time to line up heads with the Hel Revo

Sawed Off feels just like

modern coral
# rare wren Are they sweaty weapons?

HEL Shotgun is very high effort and skill-intensive. Sawed-off is just kind of busted, but it can feel a little annoying if you're not used to lacking range (you don't need range, turns out).

rare wren
#

Touch tips with a Striker and delete it

rare wren
#

I didn't really know there was a high effort way

modern coral
#

Not nearly as good to use lazily as other pen guns.

#

It's low damage and low range

#

It doesn't hurt to use lazily, but it will feel really bad.

rare wren
#

What is high effort use?

modern coral
#

You stagger or two-tap stuff that's on its own until you have a bunch of enemies at once

#

Then you aim at different parts of a big ball of enemies to keep them staggered until they're all dead.

pastel dagger
#

so basically

#

combat shotgun

modern coral
#

Combat Shotgun but a fair bit better, and more reliable.

pastel dagger
#

big effort much wow

modern coral
#

Enemies will never block shots to prevent you from hitting enemies behind them

#

and w/ pen you are just hurting a lot.

pastel dagger
#

r5 is so weird

#

how do we, after peak 5c2, have 5c3, one of the levels ever made

modern coral
modern coral
#

Its giant damage is fine tbh

rare wren
#

That absolutely makes sense

#

Could you explain Hel Rifle use cases more?

modern coral
#

You go to a spot w/ a long sightline where you know enemies will go

#

and you try to get lines

#

More big orange hitmarker = bigger dopamine

rare wren
pastel dagger
#

360 noscope charger line

rare wren
#

Whatโ€™s the difference between big red and big orange?

modern coral
#

Big red = crit, big orange = kill

#

They are kind of buggy if you are client

rare wren
#

Sometimes I kill without getting big orange

rare wren
modern coral
#

If you are client, you often won't get big orange

#

Which is less dopamine, but you can learn the death sounds to recover some of the hit.

#

Limb exploding also big dopamine

rare wren
#

How advisable is soloing giants to get the same rush

modern coral
#

Not advisable

#

HEL Rifle OP, and being good with it helps you win

#

Winning = big dopamine

#

Messing up giant solo, dying, and then waiting a minute to be revived = low dopamine activity

pastel dagger
#

wait really

#

i dont care whether i win or lose

#

i just like the game

#

should i stop playing

rare wren
#

Basically when you die

modern coral
rare wren
#

You go on your phone and scroll Instagram

pastel dagger
#

i dont have a static tho

modern coral
#

Hit up Hani for carry, idk

pastel dagger
modern coral
#

But it's more like compensating for low dopamine

#

rather than being a high dopamine activity

rare wren
#

I see I see

#

What about punching the glass side panel of my PC for the adrenaline rush

modern coral
#

Could damage the PC

pastel dagger
#

it could work if u play on the laptop

modern coral
#

Damaged PC = no games or games don't work properly

#

No games = no dopamine

pastel dagger
#

im just waiting for 26th march

rare wren
#

Interesting

#

What about High Cal hehe haha delete button

#

Better yet

pastel dagger
#

nothing to do really before that

rare wren
#

Revolver delete button

modern coral
#

Could be high dopamine, good variety picks

rare wren
#

The Revolver gives me so much dopamine it isnโ€™t even funny

#

Until I miss an entire clip and cry

modern coral
#

@rare wren Example clip: https://youtu.be/td4mT5sUDok
Chargers here are really nice, because they have consistent stances and move more predictably. When you see a strafe happen, you can look for two enemies to overlap. For chargers in particular, you can also just stand further back and they'll end up moving around a lot less.

#

Again, on strikers it's just genuinely very hard to hit the same lines

modern coral
#

Tyty

rare wren
#

What the fuck was the first thing though

rare wren
modern coral
#

You have to worry about intimidation on strikers, where enemies will back up and strafe to the sides, but having a specific path you're holding gives you place to aim where every enemy heading to you will want to go there.

#

and will ideally also stay along that trajectory for a bit

rough fern
#

Currently doing R2D2 with 3 players and a bot - good secondary choices?

modern coral
pastel dagger
#

good secondary choice is to find team

gaunt nacelle
pastel dagger
#

u can do whatever tbh

#

hel revo hel rifle

#

pick 1-2 hel rifles and the rest hel guns

#

or whatever

rare wren
rough fern
#

I've used the HEL Gun before and I know why they are the better choices but I can't get the hang of em

#

Ah cool cool

rare wren
#

What was the thing at the start of the clip you shotgunned?

modern coral
pastel dagger
#

try defend in reactor room code4 onwards

modern coral
#

Easiest to get lines if you are very stable, and getting good lines will keep you stable becuase you can kill enemies so quickly.

Also whatโ€™s the strat for Mothers?

modern coral

Kill bb

rare wren
#

Killing them does seem like the best idea yes

#

Also

#

Are there anymore just like

you can either kill bb or rush mom

or both simultaneously

isnt it considered the second easiest

No exceptions.

#

If you try and enter hydrostasis, you'd get kso-ified like dauda and schaeffer.

#

No real good options.

#

Only under very specific circumstances

worthy flicker
#

Wait this isn't lore chat

#

You saw that tho so it's okay

worthy flicker
lunar island
#

Schaeffer's assigned quad got completely fucked. He barely survived, the warden figured he was dead and stopped updating his stack. He wandered for God knows how long until he was eventually "out of range" and had to tear his out surgically.

worthy flicker
#

Tbh if he could tear it out himself they weren't planting em deep enough

lunar island
#

We fry our chips, yes, but that is only because we are under schaeffer's control at that point and he really doesn't know what he is doing

#

He doesn't know how to update our stack like warden and biocom do.

#

We'd never have the opportunity to fry our chips without outside intervention

pseudo sedge
#

did henriksson know how to update our stack?

lost lynx
lunar island
#

No other way I'd reckon. The chips at the very least have wires that go all the way through your brain given they can see out your eyes

lost lynx
lunar island
#

You would absolutely not want to try and tear that out manually

lunar island
lost lynx
#

by pure will

worthy flicker
lunar island

We don't have actual evidence in logs he used a machine like the one he uses for henriksson... but I just don't see any other way

#

It's in too deep

worthy flicker
#

I just don't see someone digging it out with a scalpel and their 2 fingers, yk?

lunar island
#

You'd be blind for the surgery as well because it is on the back of your head

lost lynx
#

Cave divers when they see a small hole in a persons head

lunar island
#

And if you do it wrong, we'll you would have the potential to be blind blind forever

#

Or worse

worthy flicker
#

But it is replicatable, if not easy

lunar island
#

Dragging your eyes out in? backwards with the wires

#

/sensors

worthy flicker
#

Also there's no way they had 0 non KSOifiying pods around right?

lunar island
#

We only have two examples.

worthy flicker
#

On the off chance this happens to someone important

lunar island
#

Well, three

#

Ogr5 dauda's lab, ogr6 KDS-DEEP where schaeffer got in, and wherever alt:// dauda entered

worthy flicker
#

So, hypothetically, you can ve cured of being a sleeper and not come out of it KSO'd, it's just extraneous

lunar island
#

You... you'd have to be very very lucky.

#

Or have a malfunctioning pod, which thinks you already have a chip when you dont

#

Regardless, you'd be sacrificing your memories for it.

#

And even then... who'd wake you up?

worthy flicker

Is GTFO compatible with a steam deck?

@pliant talon could use a Bluetooth keyboard, that or learn how to be very quick with terminal with the decks screen but itโ€™s not gonna be as good as keyboard

Iโ€™ll pass it along
