Patience

mellow hedge
#

Realistically you shouldn’t use spear as a crutch and just take hammer

honest parrot
#

Actually in you guys experience
Do pubs like using spear

junior latch
pseudo sedge
#

Funnily enough not always: some speed is good because it genuinely makes the game less of a time commitment to play. This allows u to learn more since u are getting to harder parts faster.

mellow hedge
#

Also you want to not be slows stealthing in some levels

#

Like r4e1 reactor

honest parrot
#

Or at least from my observations

mellow hedge
#

Beginner pubs use spear

#

People grow out of it

gaunt nacelle
pseudo sedge
#

I would say generally it is a good idea to know at least how to do a moderate speed stealth. Aka no crouching/very little crouching and still able to clear enemies in stealth.

gaunt nacelle
#

allow my crouch lol

honest parrot
#

Most pubs can sometimes do a little of that

#

Though some of them run on instinct

#

And fail miserably

mellow hedge

#

Some might even be playing on controller

#

And have spirit bound to toggle

You should learn to stealth faster

junior latch
#

(Crouching is fine if done sparingly)

gaunt nacelle
honest parrot
#

Not really?
If you get used to gyro aimming

#

It's actually pretty fine

merry egret
honest parrot
#

Nah it can work

junior latch
#

Controller movement is also worse

#

less snappy gameplay

honest parrot
#

Just needs... incredible binds

gaunt nacelle
honest parrot
#

Like really faqing stupid binds

junior latch
#

Youd basically be a low level average player at best

junior latch
gaunt nacelle
#

💀 yea i skipped R3 cuz i cba doing R3C1 with bots at my current level

gaunt nacelle
honest parrot
#

As one of the few people who actually tried to play with controller,
messing with the binds is more frustrating than anything else tbh

#

But yeah
Whenever someone just starts out with controller on this game things usually turn bad real fast

gaunt nacelle
#

"where is this HSU?"

honest parrot
#

"Let me just ping it real quick..."

#

"Oh wait how do I bring up the steam input keyboard?"

gaunt nacelle
#

"how do i type"

honest parrot
#

"Did I bind it to my touchpad?"

#

"Let me see..."

gaunt nacelle
#

💀

honest parrot
#

"Oh never mind I have it on combo"

#

"It's START + R2"

gaunt nacelle
#

opens up steam cuz they cant remember it

honest parrot
#

(Cue accidentally discharging their firearm as they try to type on a console)

gaunt nacelle
#

wakes up room

merry egret
#

ded

gaunt nacelle
#

proceeds to die as steam keyboard thingy opens up and blocks movement

honest parrot
#

Usually by the time you actually get good on controller

#

You probs would've been much better on keyboard

#

Unless you're crazy and playing on a steam deck

#

(Sorry to the two pubs I've seen do that)

gaunt nacelle
#

i think you can LEARN how to use a keyboard and then get good at GTFO before being good with controller

honest parrot
#

The funniest thing is when you try setting up steam input
And the normal input method is just not very good

merry egret
#

yall ever see the controller companion app on steam?

honest parrot
#

wut

gaunt nacelle
#

ive used it when controlling pc from bed

merry egret

imagine trying to type with that monstrosity 💀

And I totally still play Halo and Helldivers 2 with controller on my PC. GTFO is just a keyboard game.

#

I did always wonder why it’s the spear with the movement penalty and not the sledgehammer

#

Spears are lightweight and hunting spears are even meant to be thrown as javelins or as lances, a sledgehammer is often several times heavier

honest parrot
#

Well I believe spear used to be very, very good

pure belfry
#

Lingering hitboxes era i bet

honest parrot
#

Sometime before R8 I think?
They changed a lot of things since then

mellow hedge
#

spear has always been shit

honest parrot
#

Didn't they like
Nerf it even more

mellow hedge
#

they buffed it in r8

#

and its still bad af

pure belfry
#

Do you think it’d be OP if no move penalty

gaunt nacelle
#

Yes

#

ATP it’s a long ranged knife no?

brittle schooner
junior latch
junior latch
mellow hedge
#

id still use hammer

junior latch
brittle schooner
# brittle schooner no

it still has terrible thresholds, and hammer would still be better, that said no move penalty would certainly be helpful

junior latch
#

Because it had a massively long lingering hitbox that allowed hitting multiple enemies

#

You could kill 7 enemies in 1 attack

#

that got fixed

#

And spear wasnt good ever after

pure belfry
#

Now that explains it

#

The most I think that can happen now is a sleeping double hit occasionally

junior latch
#

Spear likely suffers from the same issue bullpup, AR and sniper suffer from

gaunt nacelle
junior latch
#

being popular among players (especially new/„bad“ ones)

junior latch
pure belfry
#

yeah… sad spear times

#

It’s definitely popular on newer players who don’t like getting too close

junior latch
#

which is pretty funny

#

Cuz aside from giant strikers no enemy that you meet rly punishes getting close

#

and for those they

  1. often still go into range anyway
#
  1. hammer outranges them too
gaunt nacelle
#

scouts

clever sorrel
#

Not new to the game, but I'd like to complete the whole game from R1 to R8 if I can

brittle schooner
#

big reason why newer players like spear i think

junior latch
#

Not knowing stats and breakpoints makes some things kinda unintuitive

pure belfry
#

That’s why we watch D4RKEVA video guides

#

I’ve shown the stealth vid to several folks who really needed it

junior latch
#

Always happy to hear that it helped people

Considering thats the sole reason I made it d4rkevLUL

clever sorrel
#

Im quite sane, so with a group

honest parrot
#

Well good luck then

pure belfry
#

Long range aggro is the absolute most common catch for newer players

boreal yew
#

Spear was good in only one patch when you can wiggle your mouse then a mother dies.

pure belfry
#

Man that makes me wish I’d known about GTFO during that era, that’s so funny

gaunt nacelle
boreal yew
#

Likely a clip in somewhere of gtfo-media, good luck finding it

junior latch
pure belfry
#

Did a tumor count as a different enemy in this instance maybe?

junior latch
#

it doesnt in the case for pen either

#

but in the case for mom
Thats legit 3 1/2 years ago so I might not remember whether that was or wasnt a thing correctly

#

og r6 was funny

#

Scatter with 192 dmg also had „pen“ (that luckily didnt work“ and a higher ammo cap

honest parrot
#

man i wish i was around then

junior latch
#

well eh

#

We had orientation bug (horrible) and right after sniper melee

#

2 bugs that made the game ROUGH to play

#

there was also a time in r6 extension where flyers did double dmg

Made r6cx funny

pure belfry
#

One of the main groups I play with despises R6CX, but I love that level

#

Double flyer damage would be really nasty though

#

That sequence is already intense enough once the big flyers start spawning in, and I believe if you go top uplink, middle uplink, then bottom, without the StairsFix the ground sleepers all get bugged pathing getting stuck below you and then flood the path to 3rd uplink

gaunt nacelle
boreal yew
#

A bug that you can't back hit an enemy if the enemy is facing 2 specific directions

near stag
junior latch
#

made charger scout kills basically a gamble unless you had scatter

#

same for charger melee kills being safe 1 shots or not

Probably the 2nd worst globally applicable bug this game ever had

Hey if you break down which melee is the best vs what

Then spear is likely 2nd place

I mean spear is the best when you have to melee tank

Goated spear moment

Have that knife and bat users

honest parrot
#

Neat

#

Yk only now have i realised that nightmares have a limb health above their normal health value

#

Maybe they were nerfed during development

#

43 health nightmares would be such a pain

burnt flume
#

or maybe that's so the tumour persists until death

#

that would make sense

#

rather than having a nigh unstaggerable enemy whose frontal crit spot is gone

gusty burrow
near stag
junior latch
# gusty burrow Hard disagree on shadow giant and big charger, spear is very good for those, uni...

Big charger: agree to disagree. Hammer has better breakpoints here and actually has chances to soft stagger to help if a limb break fails. You can also follow the bbc easier in their animation.

Spear rly only has the range, but god. Bbcs are fast if they want to be

Shadow giants: if you rly take your time for the occi, sure. Otherwise clobbering with hammers is braindead and requires less skill and setup

For giants: yea. I value the speed/mobility of hammer more here personally. Especially since 1 spear + 3 hammers is better than say 3 spears and 1 hammer

#

(To say the obvious tho, the list above was hastily written up)

#

As a human u need to be 100% perfect and make no mistakes BabyShooter

mellow hedge
#

from behind like half

burnt flume
#

It's closer to 2/3rds

junior latch
#

ah well „closer“

#

could be anything between 58% and up

#

fair

burnt flume
#

i've always tried to have more than half charge because bad things have happened when i went in with only half charge

gusty burrow
#

64.2%, but you can charge to 75% fairly easily during a hard stagger

burnt flume
#

also @junior latch if you're taking me for runs today lmk so i can be ready

gusty burrow
#

Ye, 89% for front

junior latch
#

Since im in uni until like 5

graceful geode
#

tru since you're here I want to ask something you very probably know

raw shard
graceful geode
#

The way the game calculates back multi is mostly client-sided, right? Because one thing I noticed is that even when I've a certain lag (noticeable by opening doors or by how fast I get hit from a striker) the back always applies correctly.

R5D1 speedruns sounds awful, count me in if you need 1

burnt flume
#

finally, a full eu speedrun team

junior latch
#

We just did R4C3 yesterday

burnt flume
#

let's erase frosty from the annals of gtfo history

junior latch
#

if that level wasnt somewhat rng impacted (and didnt have a fucking spitter audio bug issue) it would be a great speed lvl

raw shard
#

I honestly would like to join more speedrun stuff tbh

burnt flume
#

seems more dynamic/fun than a lot of levels

#

get to deal with some fucked up stuff

junior latch
burnt flume
#

R5D1

junior latch
#

R5D1 is likely rough

But theres a lot of time that can be safed for sure

#

It will likely just be routing and seeing how hard it can be pushed at first

burnt flume
#

R4C3 high only seemed pretty boring

raw shard
#

Depends if you're doing D1 100% or any%

junior latch
#

Urgh

raw shard
burnt flume
junior latch
#

r4c3 main is actually pretty fun. Hub zone entrance is a quick chaotic moment

#

not super special
But it being sub 10 min is cool

burnt flume
#

it'd probably be more interesting if you forced 4 player extract

#

because then it gets chaotic and funny

raw shard
#

I wish more levels had team extracts

junior latch
#

@raw shard general goal (for me especially) rn is to get the total composite time of any% runs to be under 17 hours

The levels goat send are all ones that have/had massive time to be gained for sure

pseudo sedge
raw shard
#

That's where team scans make sense

raw shard
junior latch
#

For basic game it would be rough but can be interesting

#

In speeds it sucks

raw shard
#

Less teams scans on doors, more team scans on extracts

junior latch
#

Brandon gonna join and see the lobby on r1a1

burnt flume
raw shard
#

Please don't subject me to that

hasty bobcat
#

what's going on

junior latch
junior latch
#

And chill

pseudo sedge
#

I think for r4c3 it wouldn't even make much of a difference if extract was team scan... For example in our record aside from more ammo it is basically the same

burnt flume
junior latch
#

14?

#

idk honestly

burnt flume
#

beats me

junior latch
#

actually no

burnt flume
#

gonna go shower (again)

raw shard
#

If the drop sequence didn't take like 2 minutes I would be fine grinding something small like R1A1

junior latch
#

i had 69% of the records

#

not 69 records

junior latch
#

in drop

#

cuz fuck that levels rng

raw shard
#

Purely because the drop sequence takes so long it's just so ass

junior latch
#

1/9000 for wr seed

#

and r1a1 drop is actually quite shrt

#

can be like 30 seconds

raw shard
#

It's long enough for it to not feel worth it

junior latch
#

but we wont run that for normal sessions anyhow

#

its rly just a grind for seed thing

raw shard
tacit shoal
junior latch
#

if I add semi prio runs it looks smth like this:

R2B3
R2C1
R2C2
R2D2
R3B1
R3C1
R4B3
R4E1
R5B3
R5C1
R5D1
R6D1
R7B2
R7C3
R7D2
R8B3
R8C2

raw shard
#

Honestly R5C1 sounds kinda fun

junior latch
#

And then theres a few 100% runs that are on the non high prio list too like
R5A2PE
R6C2sec

junior latch
raw shard
#

Just run it w/o, can't be that bad right

junior latch
raw shard
#

someone surely has time to query that while the stealth scans are being done, it's obviously not peak efficiency but I can't see you losing that much time

highest likelyhood for todays evening are:

the cell map is a little more annoying but i think we could pull it off without it

junior latch
# sacred briar wdym by map

Speedrunning uses logs to find spawn locations of important key items/objectives

weve got maps for like 90% of those at this point

junior latch
hasty bobcat
#

how do u even do mapping

#

do u just reset forever and check boxes

#

cuz it sounds miserable

raw shard
#

there are markers for boxes

sacred briar
raw shard
junior latch
junior latch
hasty bobcat
#

how do u tell that they are a specific id tho

#

or can u spawn them like once at a time

junior latch
# raw shard no it's an external script

theres scripts like tgbs logger that automatically read the log file

But for a few things (and people like me who just do it this way anyway) you need to read it manually

pseudo sedge
#

I think as of now the only thing that the logger tool doesn't track is generators

junior latch
sacred briar
#

ohh

mellow hedge
#

Each box spawn has a specific ID and we map those ID's

#

and then the logs say which box ID they key is in

raw shard

@junior latch if i was going to map r5c1 what would i be looking for? looks like each zone only has 1 term so it's cells only yea?

pseudo sedge
honest parrot
mellow hedge
#

big pickupable

#

not just cells

honest parrot
#

ok

mellow hedge
#

also stuff like hsu and terms and stuff only says the area

#

not the exact location

burnt flume
#

huh strange the logs are being funny to me

#

uplink term in 117, it states terminal spawned in 116

#

i had the same terminal spawn in a previous load in and it said 117

#

strange

junior latch
burnt flume
#

aside from extreme, every zone is 1 term it seems

#

so knowing the area isn't as helpful but i'm still collecting it

mellow hedge
#

yeah every zone has a static term

idk how to spawn all cells but kenny does

ok that's where the ammo comes from

??

pseudo sedge
#

there's so much ammo in r4e1

burnt flume
#

there's plenty of ammo anyway

slender flare
#

Yeah

fringe garden
#

error section ammo in duos is kinda tight in my experience

pseudo sedge
#

one shot dmr does not improve ammo, it's just 14 kills per mag

slender flare
#

we had like a ton of ammo anyway in the secondary

pseudo sedge
#

duo speedrun maybe

#

normal duo it is free

#

since u can grab ammos

slender flare
#

I mean we did the main in like 20 minutes

pseudo sedge
#

scatter doesn't even matter

slender flare
#

this was our 50th try so

burnt flume
#

eh i was playing with sky (sawed off/hel gun, hel rev/burst cannon) and we were plenty on ammo, a tiny bit tight at parts but it is fine by all means

slender flare
#

we did get a hang of main but secondary was an issue

fringe garden
#

when i was running duo speeds with ray we had to get every ammo (save for 2use in starting zone and maybe 2use in surge zone) to not just die

slender flare
#

I mean we got every ammo

#

in main

slender flare
#

We definietly had no issue from secondary onwards

burnt flume
#

i guess i could ask beth and hani about their experience with ammo in the speeds

pseudo sedge
#

when i did duo speeds with yourmomgosky we were pretty chill as long as we got 6 uses of ammo

#

tight but it was playable

#

granted we did go a little slower from beth&hani

fringe garden
#

were you hitting every one cycle

slender flare
#

Here we were grabbing all ammo and stuff from main

#

but still did it

#

starting from secondary we really didn't have to

#

because you know, reactor ammo

burnt flume
#

looks like beth and hani skipped first zone ammo in their pb

fringe garden
#

ye that's about as much as you can get away with

slender flare
#

But still so happy we beat it even if in a cursed way

fringe garden
pseudo sedge
#

for tools we had mine + bio

slender flare
#

For us it was managable, he just had to solo the tank and it was all fine

burnt flume
#

sky had pdw i think if it was like

#

10 months ago

slender flare
#

as long as we grabbed any ammo really

burnt flume
#

bad sky

#

our current sky (good sky) only plays sawed off

pseudo sedge
#

it was either pdw or hel revo

#

i really dont remember

stiff trail
#

It's ridiculous how much ammo I managed to save when use scattergun. I tried using Choke, and we kept running out of ammo nearing the surge.

slender flare
#

Yeah

burnt flume
#

yeah choke mod is a bad gun

pseudo sedge
#

i remember our biggest issue was tank kills since sky was also on like 7 fps

burnt flume
#

scattergun is an overpowered gun

#

there's a slight difference between the ammo of the 2

slender flare
#

but then we took it anyway

fringe garden
burnt flume
#

so you're telling me

pseudo sedge
#

so in the first section we basically only used ammo for tank kill

burnt flume
#

you were killing

#

all 4 moms

#

with dmr choke mod and sawed off machinegun

slender flare
#

Yes.

pseudo sedge
#

in the 2nd section only I was shooting while sky was shooting to maybe balance and in 3rd alarm we were actually tight on ammo

slender flare
#

He did it solo too once

#

Somehow

pseudo sedge
#

but rooms were cleared mostly melee

#

tanks were pretty ok ammo wise, loosing hp was our issue

slender flare
#

@stiff trail what did you have when you went 1 v 4 mothers

burnt flume
#

deranged

slender flare
#

Choke?

#

We are absolutely crazy

#

Wait

#

He says he had scatter/helshotgun

#

My bad

#

but still

#

we kept getting the best results while killing mothers and going together

burnt flume
#

ah that's a much better loadout vs moms

slender flare
#

so we just went hell yeah let's do that

pseudo sedge
#

i was about to say it feels a little weird how u would be able to pull of choke mod mom killed clear and not normal duo r4e1 clear

slender flare
#

Yeah i misremembered

#

So many tries, it keeps getting mixed what guns we used

#

I think i had hel revo and hel gun then

#

I never held worse in my life

burnt flume
stiff trail
# slender flare Somehow

That one time I was experimenting whether I could pull the mothers one by one. I pulled 2 moms each without alerting the room, had to sync with the defender about whether the wave make a scream or not, so the mother doesn't scream and wake the rest. The last 2 was close to each other, I just foam 1, scatter the non foamed and killed the last one

slender flare
#

Oh so that's how you did it

mellow hedge
slender flare
#

yeah i remember you asking me about the screaming

#

I was holding in a cursed spot back then too

#

Goddam door

#

why does it keep breaking

junior latch
#

(whether the ammo diff matters is smth else)

pseudo sedge
mellow hedge
#

im wondering

pseudo sedge
#

i remember doing r4e1 solo defense with dmr with booster and it was crazy

slender flare
mellow hedge
#

would it be quicker to do 2 in for duo speeds

slender flare
#

then we went duo wave 4 onwards

pine root
#

What is the booster

#

for the r4e1 duo

slender flare
#

Frenchman was mostly looking for codes while i was defending

#

Which one?

pine root
#

Both

fringe garden
slender flare
fringe garden
#

like the main advantage would be cell carry starting faster right

slender flare
#

Cholesterol had a bit of main damage

mellow hedge
#

it would make code 4 quicker right

fringe garden
#

but it won't be because you have to fight through waves

mellow hedge
#

yeah fair

pine root
mellow hedge
#

ig not faster

slender flare
pine root
#

and yes

slender flare
pseudo sedge
slender flare
#

So not much i took it as a meme

mellow hedge
#

yes cause clear faster no cause reactor enemites yeah

pseudo sedge
#

if this was glitched 2 in is faster, but glitchless probably not

pine root
#

Cell will be walking through reactor wave enemies

#

For best cell

mellow hedge
#

just game out

pine root
#

And you will miss the plug

mellow hedge
#

dont get hit

slender flare
pine root
#

for one cycle

#

Might as well just not

mellow hedge
#

but like rn cycle is a couple cycles slower right?

fringe garden
#

the missing plug probably doesn't matter

mellow hedge
#

also in an ideal world right

pine root
mellow hedge
#

surely you can do code 6

#

and you plug while running out of reactor

slender flare
#

We actually forgot the password for out wave at some point and had to repeat a wave 2 times while we were thinking what the hell did we do wrong

pine root
#

But missing the plug on code 3 which is likely for 2 in

mellow hedge
#

like the most cooked strat ever

pine root
#

Or missing code 4 blood door

mellow hedge
#

but its still faster

pine root
#

You save zero time

#

remember where your player is

#

When blood door unlocks

#

At reactor

#

This is without even considering time Los on mom kill

mellow hedge
#

yeah true

#

like you run back and code 4 rooms are already clear

#

and with good rng you just sneak

#

and dont have to fight anything for cell

pseudo sedge
#

like you could maybe be faster with 2 in if u have all 4 moms right in front of door and u insta oneshot all of them

#

and even then it is a maybe

#

because realistically you probably die/loose too much time cause of how unstable reactor becomes

mellow hedge
#

all 4 moms in front of door

#

and they die in like 10 seconds lmao

slender flare
#

The closest we got to that was when we had two in front of the door and one downstairs

mellow hedge
#

cause if you have both go in you just play double scatter

slender flare
#

Safe to say we died

fringe garden
#

the actual timesave in the duo that hasn't been implemented is the double sawed off scatter

slender flare
#

Isn't host scatter kinda bad

fringe garden
#

still best gun in game

pine root
slender flare
#

Valid

pseudo sedge
#

what are tools currently for duo?

fringe garden
#

sentry bio

slender flare
#

Yeah we took that too

pseudo sedge
#

i wonder if mines is better than bio

fringe garden
#

no because it forces pr

slender flare
#

There's not that many doors to mine

mellow hedge
#

the only reason that would be slower theoretically is shadow zone

slender flare
#

Ones that the wave would go through for example

mellow hedge
#

it makes reactor and boos fight faster

stiff trail
#

How me and her did it each wave was

  1. Just normal defend
  2. Look for code and kill mother, we did not plug the code in to prevent door to next zone in mother room to open. Scatter 1 mom -> Me and Dymus foam 1 mom each -> Dymus kill baby -> clear the moms
  3. We switch between each other to defend the wave for code, we defend inside the mother room
  4. Lucky found explo mine, open the door and defend in room B. Bringing the cell is the most dangerous thing in this secondary imo
  5. Open charger door, defend on the walkway inside 2nd code room
  6. Carry a crap load of ammo, we saved 5 uses of ammo for that
pseudo sedge
#

error is easier also with mines

slender flare
fringe garden
mellow hedge
#

thats the strat

fringe garden
#

fair

#

i love the 40 minute run that dies because rng

pseudo sedge
mellow hedge
#

btw isnt a big time save gambling 4 ammo in first zone so you can insta second alarm?

#

and then gambling 6 ammo lmaooooo

fringe garden
pseudo sedge
mellow hedge
fringe garden
#

yeah and?

mellow hedge
#

guys

#

you mine tank

burnt flume
#

spreadsheet warriors...

mellow hedge
#

if you dont mine tank you dont take mines

pseudo sedge
fossil horizon
#

If only they didn't nerf pr mag we could just one mag mothers, ahhh

pseudo sedge
#

if u reload then the story changes

#

but u have 1 scatter

slender flare
pseudo sedge
#

so u at most have to do about 200 dmg to a tank indeed

slender flare
#

in the level

#

or something

fringe garden
#

you magdump hel gun faster than you magdump pr

burnt flume
#

yes and either way you're not killing tank before scatter reloads and shoots again

fringe garden
#

and you just need to shoot one mag to kill

mellow hedge
fringe garden
#

so hel gun > pr here

junior latch
pseudo sedge
mellow hedge
pseudo sedge
#

and PR has better firerate THAN hel gun

#

so in what world

#

does hel gun have more dps into a tank

burnt flume
#

yes frosty if you're mining final tank then you don't mind much

mellow hedge
#

guys you know what has good dps into tank

#

MINES

pseudo sedge
#

and PR also has 1 more bullet in the mag

slender flare
#

we shall see

burnt flume
#

if you're not using mines than PR is not going to be a significant upgrade over hel gun

mellow hedge
slender flare
#

The question is how lol

slender flare
#

the pmom?

mellow hedge
#

yes

#

after reactor you pull that then instantly step into the first corrupted scan in first code room and itll disable the alarm

slender flare
#

I actually did both of class 6 when i first went to that level (tha was full team)

mellow hedge
#

you can also disable the nightmare surge if you want

burnt flume
#

and remember

#

even if you're running PR

#

you're still losing time in shadow zones

#

to not having bio

fringe garden
mellow hedge
#

i actually dont think you lose as much as you think

slender flare
mellow hedge
#

bc the rooms are so small

slender flare
#

with Pr

burnt flume
#

and are you playing for the high roll of all high rolls

mellow hedge
#

and you also have PR to see shit

burnt flume
#

or are you playing for the consistency strat high roll

fringe garden
#

i think the LRF tech kinda offsets bio

mellow hedge
#

rooms are pretty consistent

#

and the room that you could wake scouts you just mine behind you

pseudo sedge
#

the one reason why i see lack of bio being not viable is indeed shadow zone

mellow hedge
#

i dont think its that bad

mellow hedge
#

scatter holds that

fringe garden
#

with mines for tank

pseudo sedge
#

but for bosskill i'd take PR, the only advantage of hel gun is pen in the 2nd alarm*

mellow hedge
#

but tru and I got super unlucky in reactor and never got to test

fringe garden
#

you also only need 1 cfoam trip

#

so the LRF isn't even giving up anything

mellow hedge
#

yeah

#

mannnnnn i wanna try that

fringe garden
#

fuck it do you wanna try that like right now

mellow hedge
#

maybe ill see if tru wants to run more

#

yeah sure

#

lemme just tell my gf

fringe garden
#

do you want to scatter or pr

burnt flume
#

but what if

#

speeds with eva and goat

#

what the fuck even is happening this evening

mellow hedge

no joke PR is my worst weapon

pseudo sedge

nah he's belgian

he’s French

burnt flume
#

no no no

#

he's belgian so he gets confused for german and french

wraith marsh
#

Scatter with lrf does kinda just solo shadow zone

#

That is correct

#

Pr best scout killer as well

mellow hedge
#

i genuinely think that shadow zone is slightly slower

#

rooms are small so its like ur gonna see the shadow giants and shit

wraith marsh
#

Slower in what way

#

With what

fringe garden
#

i still think the actual timesave is in playing double scatter

wraith marsh
#

Yea prolly

#

I don't believe in mines

fringe garden
#

the mines are good for what

#

blood door
error
tank kill at end

#

if you force LRF the blood door gain is irrelevant

#

(since you can just take ctrip)

#

error you can always clear anyways

#

tank kill at end is better with mines but double scatter still obliterates it and is better into pmom

wraith marsh
#

You can do ctrip strats with double scatter yea

#

So mines is not better

fringe garden
#

you do ctrip strats regardless of weapons

#

it's just that scatter offsets the loss from not instant tank pretty easily

wraith marsh
#

No like

#

The 4man strat works

#

You can go in

fringe garden
#

that seems VERY unstable but maybe you're right

unreal crystal
#

You could without double scatter tho

fringe garden
#

can host + client scatter really delete pmom fast enough

#

well the answer is yes

wraith marsh
fringe garden
#

sawed off x2 + hel gun/rifle + client scatter all magdumped kills pmom

wraith marsh
#

It's way less scary on double scatter

unreal crystal
#

it changes how I play it tho

#

yea

unreal crystal
wraith marsh
#

You always reload scatter too

#

More dps

unreal crystal
#

at least that was the idea with hel gun

#

but double scatter pmom might be better

#

Hard to say

fringe garden
#

double scatter tank is more consistent probably

#

it has less health so you kill easier

wraith marsh
#

If only I could host shit

unreal crystal
#

Should’ve gotten better Internet

how do i say it

You can read the achievemnt again

I think for rundown 4 I'ma only do the primarys and after the rundown or the entirety of the game, I go back and do all the side stuff?

slender flare

you can do all of the objectives in one go

As in main,secondary, overload

that's what prisoners efficiency is

You don't have to and can go only main but you can also do all 3 or 2

in one run

Also some levels on PE are insanely harder than others for like no reason at all.

hearty lily
#

And its just like, side objectives right?

naive rover
#

Yes but some of them are crazy. In levels that have Overload and Sec, usually the Secondary objective is pretty easy but it adds some weird modifier that changes the rest of the level. Overloads seem to have crazy long objectives with tough enemies or lots of enemies compared to normal.

#

From my experience so far in R4 and R5.

hearty lily
#

Maybe once im ready u can help me go back to em

naive rover

Most of the Mains in R4 are baby mode easy.

True.

#

Yeah let me know sometime I guess. I’m always happy to play.

Do you have a group still or do you solo bots?

No group just been doin solo, ill matchmake if the levels real hard though

My two friends that do have the game dont wanna play it really

How much have you completed doing solo bots?

Couple levels here n there, current on r3 though

naive rover

You stuck on anything yet? Or making good progress?

hearty lily

Good progress so far, I'm getting to the lower levels of 3 though

#

Sure thems gonna give me some trouble

naive rover
#

I think Alpha is the only one that's kinda hard. Took my team 6 tries but honestly if you just move fast at the end it's probably easy sauce.

Pretty sure the vets love Bianhua. But it was also part of one of Lord Soy's speed competitions.

pure belfry
#

Everybody starts somewhere, and this is game already has a reputation of being far too difficult/hardcore for the wider audience to even conceive a thought of touching it

#

Bots were not added to GTFO until Rundown 6, and their capabilities leave them very much so as an asset that can get you partway only in terms of full sector clears past a point, with precious few of the world’s best GTFO players in this very server managing to pull things off nothing short of world class gameplay

#

In summary: it was always meant as a co-op experience, with no downscaling in the amount or health of enemies. Bots were added later on, and solo has its limits to where only a few people can pull it off on the hardest missions
