[verbal zinc]

i remember they patched that part at some point

in the pre patch they would only spawn in waves in that side area and after the patch they front spawned and respawn when you kill them iirc

[tardy ingot]

iirc someone once talked about it only being a fast spawning wave

wait wasnt that you ray?

back in r6

[verbal zinc]

could be

i know that they took a while to respawn on pre patch

but after they respawned really quick

[minor fractal]

Yeah, just don't remember what I looked at specifically.

It's not trying to hit mob cap, though, iirc it's just very sensitive to being cleared.

[devout nimbus]

Is the objective on the last part of r7d1 wrong? On your hud it would say to type confirm_timed_sequence into the main terminal, however on the computer which someone went to to verify the sequence, it would say to enter confirm_timed_connection instead.

[craggy pier]

init on main
verify on 2nd
confirm on main

[upper wave]

nevermind i have figured it out

[spark wolf]

yes

and we tell them long ago

but they rerelease 2 more rundown before even fixing the text

[past mesa]

Isn’t it as simple as fixing the text in the text data block like a 5 second fix

[bold crater]

Yes

Editing test in programming is always easy doesn’t matter what

There’s no reason it took this long honestly

[minor fractal]

Entirely possible their version control is fucked, or the company is outright disorganized.

[late violet]

around when is Rundown 3 coming or is there no info yet?

[vital sierra]

feb - march

[spark wolf]

when the burst cannon coming

[tight pendant]

[pulsar kraken]

Anyone remember the level in R2 with a bunch of scouts right after another? I am dragging some newbies into it

You'll be happy to know they all killed atleast one

But that was in R1A1, so we are upping the ante

[icy cave]

Only melee ofc

[pulsar kraken]

Yes

I also demonstrated the use of mines

[icy cave]

And what level you talking about? R2C1 has a couple, R2D1 some scattered here and there. And obv R2E1 has some

[pulsar kraken]

The one where they are almost one after another

In a bunch of rooms

[icy cave]

R2A1 has one or two as well btw

[icy cave]

Probably R2C1. no other level comes to mind

[pulsar kraken]

Unless that is somewhere else

[icy cave]

After the first alarm iirc

[eager parcel]

damn can i not post pictures?

[pulsar kraken]

Otherwise we'll have to wait for R6 for the room with five scouts

[icy cave]

GTFO media

[eager parcel]

well its just a snippet for a question i have

[icy cave]

R7D2 tho at the start. Or R7C3 😏

[icy cave]

Shoot

DM the picture if you want

[eager parcel]

what is the COMPLETED[1,-,-,-] thing mean

is that just how many times you've beaten a level?

[icy cave]

[Main, secondary, overload, PE]

completion amount

a - means that objective is not in the level

[eager parcel]

there are secondary missions?

[icy cave]

Yes

[eager parcel]

ah

[icy cave]

altho like I said - means it's not there in the level

Otherwise it would be [1,0,0,0]

[eager parcel]

oh right

[icy cave]

But don't worry bout it

they are not in R1-R3

Introduced in R4

[icy cave]

If you want to see what it looks like go to R7, click on R7B3 and look in the sector section. You can see of all levels if they got them in advance

even when not unlocked

[noble sierra]

The only one I think fit your description is Z611 in R2D1, nearly 10 in one zone

[icy cave]

Ah yes ofc. 🤦‍♂️

[tacit zealot]

neither
just like its a very low priority "bug", if you could even call it a bug

[steel palm]

hey what primary gun do you guys recomend for holding out a lot of waves?

[vital sierra]

what kind of playstyle are you

point and click or hold down left click

[steel palm]

i usually play solo, but when i play with friends i try to be as ammo efficient as ever so probably point and click

[vital sierra]

hel rev

[steel palm]

ill try it out thanks

[vital sierra]

if close range, hel shotgun

[fierce nebula]

we have hel shotgun?

[vital sierra]

yes

hel COMBAT shotgun to be real

[outer spire]

did they redo the layout on R2C1 from the original?

[minor fractal]

In what way?

The tiling is completely rerolled between the R2 and R7 game versions, so they have to try to brute force it into being vaguely similar to what it was before.

Tbqh they should have tried to recreate LGTuner on their end, but that's their loss I guess.

[outer spire]

the layout looks different from what i remember it

[icy cave]

its pretty similar tho. the major difference is that there is no cell hunt before first alarm anymore

and instead of an uplink in 205, you have one in either 202 or 203 which were the old cell zones

[stuck flume]

How does one get their hands on the convex falcon mk 1 helmet?

or whichever one is the one with tubes coming out of the mouth

[dry pumice]

Random drop, i believe.

[stuck flume]

On twitch?

Or after mission completion

[dry pumice]

Mission

The system for loot drops changed once they started releasing old shit

You get 1 random drop for every first time Main objective completion

[stuck flume]

Oh ok

I guess I will do some grinding then

I just really like the look of it

[dry pumice]

not so much grtinding

just play the game and beat every mission at least once

secondary objectives used to provide extra unlocks, but they no longer do

[stuck flume]

Thats a bummer

But thank you for the help

I see two helmets in the art for gtfo that i can seem to find in the apparel section in the wiki

did the wiki not put them or are they not in the game?

[dry pumice]

which ones?

2 right ones?

[stuck flume]

the 2nd mask and the 4th one

and the second one is the one i am hoping to get

The other two i see in the wiki

[dry pumice]

let me check real quick

Scorpion - Unreleased - Falcon - Tigris

Tigris is TECHNICALLY in the game as event-exclusive Oblique Tigris featuring a unique tiger-inspired paintjob

The vanilla version, however, is not in the game

So you can only get 1 and 3 - scorpion and falcon and they are both random chance drops

[stuck flume]

yeah, unfortunately i wasnt around to get it, got the game today lol.

I wonder when they will release it, considering the devs said the game is nearing its last few updates

[dry pumice]

Well, devs seem to be adding new cosmetics with each update

currently you have 3 rundown available: 1, 2 and 7. Each one provides you with a dozen of missions to play, so that will be ~30 cosmetics drops

And we wait for re-release of rundowns 3, 4, 5 and 6 which also will feature about 10 missions each and then final completely new Rundown 8.
It is unknown whether or not there will be more, but most likely not.

[stuck flume]

Interesting

Rundown 7 is going to be hard isnt it.

[dry pumice]

Compared to 1 and 2? Yes.
1 and 2 have no secondary objectives and no checkpoint and must be done in a single run - which usually takes some 30-40 minutes on average. So far the only levels that gave me legit trouble were R2D2 and R2E1 (still not completed).

R7 is the most modern rundown and features secondary objectives (which first started appearing in rundown 4, i believe?) and checkpoints which help with replaying particularly nasty parts of the levels, but are notorious for causing various bugs as well as giving people false sense of hope, when in reality they reached the checkpoint in already screwd condition (used too much ammo for example) and are simply no longer in position to beat the rest of the level, which ironically causes people to waste hours upon hours on trying to revive a doomed run when they could've just restart the mission and try to do better in early parts of it instead.

I heard both R4 and 5 are pretty rough. R6 was a 1.0 game release rundown and featured a massive drop in difficulty save for couple of last levels.

[stuck flume]

Oh alright

Thanks for the info

Next time I hop on I'll keep that in mind

Nice rhino pfp!

[dry pumice]

Heh

[craggy pier]

for scouts, do I need to literally NOT touch his tentacles to get noticed or just crouch and dont move to not be noticed?

[wide vapor]

As long as you dont touch a scout's tentacles, bump into it, or melee anything while very close to it, you won't wake it up

you can literally sprint around the scout as long as youre not sprinting into its tentacles or waking up another enemy that could scream and wake up the scout

[craggy pier]

hmmm

ok

[sturdy glen]

(sprinting will immediately make it put out its tentacles tho)

[static egret]

Is there somewhere I can report bugs?

I recorded 3 in the last mission

[vital sierra]

you can post it in #1049599987878723635

and

Danke~

[vital sierra]

anyone has the footage of charger scout randomly trigger in r7e1?

[vital sierra]

MORE

[icy cave]

MOAR

[weary fjord]

when will the other rundowns get re-released?

[icy cave]

Somewhere in feb/March for Alt R3

then Alt R4 1.5 to 2 months later again

etc etc

[cerulean totem]

Hey, I have around 15 hours in the game, how do I multikill without alerting a room?

[noble sierra]

One thing important to add up and many beginners don't know is: triggering a sleeper within 3m of a scout will trigger the scout

[icy cave]

1. take hammer 2. charge while moving up on target one. 3. bonk 4. move to next.

Or well, the game is made for 4 man groups.

[ocean spindle]

ok dont gotta be mean about it

[icy cave]

Bruv

better?

It's not mean, it's true.

[ocean spindle]

u can say it nicely too speak facts with ur heart :]
say based stuff with kindness

[icy cave]

sorry sir

[ocean spindle]

anyway if u refer to like two or three close within a room, make sure they r alone in their group, n synchronize with ur team to kill em with meele at the same time
if u mean stuff like solo or bots, u can kill one before alerts the rest, u can practice tryin to walk to one [or run], killin it n standin still and seein the room
knife works pretty well for that too

[icy cave]

I tend to be direct. It's not meant as negative

[ocean spindle]

its ok, dont apologize just take it easy its fine

[vital sierra]

this bug is weird

never got it

[ocean spindle]

ive seen it sometimes i think on gtfo media but its gonna be hard to find n stuff

[icy cave]

Me neither, but I did see it in more vids

[vital sierra]

from my testing, it only happen when alarm going

[icy cave]

The one I got A LOT is the foam going through the door on room scan

[vital sierra]

but also from my testing, 1 out of 10 times, it happen

and people sending clip after clip after clip

[icy cave]

The thing is there is no alarm there 🤔

[vital sierra]

reactor alarm count

every clip have this happen when they hunt for the 4th code

[icy cave]

Oh you mean it only happens when on 4th code path

Gotcha

[vital sierra]

not exactly...

every alarm except scout

[icy cave]

Yeah but for R7E1 specifically

[vital sierra]

need more testing to have a repro, and to be 100% sure

[icy cave]

I see most of it on R7E1, have not seen clips of other levels

Obv they might be there

[vital sierra]

the log can't even show you the bug either since it is a normal mechanic/feature

i'm curious if it's only charger scout or all scout

[icy cave]

Of all clips you got, there is not a single normal scout that does it?

[vital sierra]

unfortunately, we only have the charger scout clip

[vital sierra]

i was testing specifically on r7e1 because it happen too frequently

i got it to happen but for a different charger scout in the same zone

[icy cave]

That's what I mean, I always hear people referring to R7E1.. Does it happen in other levels?

[vital sierra]

it could happen on other level

if the condition is the same

alarm going -> scout didn't get trigger -> scout randomly trigger without a scream/ touch player

i got it happen on samdown by accident on a completely different tile

[icy cave]

hmmmm

[vital sierra]

and it happen when i have an alarm going

[icy cave]

And that was also a charger scout?

[vital sierra]

yes

unfortunately

i also tested the checkpoint bug with heavy item, which have no repro but it lead to the checkpoint itself vs desync/packet loss

because client can have a single packet loss and the floor won't load fully or something like that

the floor can still be there but the item won't register it => can't drop item

[icy cave]

well. they gave themselves one more year of time to fix it 😅

[vital sierra]

for the charger scout randomly trigger, that won't be fixed

even the log can't tell you that

i would also be surprised as a dev to see the charger scout randomly scream

shit is wacked

[neon gust]

[vital sierra]

go to sleep

[rough creek]

How can anyone see a scout and think it isn't a blight upon this world?

[minor fractal]

Trueee

Scouts should be removed from the complex whenever possible.

[rough creek]

I want to give one a haircut with a coffee grinder

[shy axle]

Hi

[solemn flint]

why?

if u remove the fun then u are removing the fun

[craggy pier]

Profound and inspiring

[solemn flint]

go into a newbie room, wake a few scout up and tell the new player to pratice melee all of them

[latent obsidian]

this is the state of lfg

[solemn flint]

?

its fun

[rough creek]

We do it once

[solemn flint]

and it help new players to pratice melee

[rough creek]

Still hate scouts tho

[solemn flint]

and they will know that knife are god

the level of fun with the knife are about 100

[rough creek]

So be British, got it

[neon gust]

And you took that personally

[icy cave]

still not sleeping !!!!!

[neon gust]

cant

State of lfg is .... still better than MM i guess

[icy cave]

Damn I finished work and everything, if you keep it up I'll be asleep before you 😂

[neon gust]

trying to reach that stage 3 sleep deprivation

im trying to see demons

[icy cave]

If that's your goal then go for it. cause nowadays it's rude to bring common sense to people.

So that leave me with: You can do it ! I believe in you! so brave of you to do so

[neon gust]

thank you for supporting me on my horrible life decisions

[icy cave]

No problem that's how the world rolls nowadays

[neon gust]

why are you saying all this lmao

[icy cave]

Nothing I am a very cynical person. 😅

[dusky tiger]

Lfg has been nice for the most part

;p

A few bad apples here and there,but that's in every community

[craggy pier]

Want some bad apples stories?

I joined a vc chat once for a R6 map and a guy was kinda shouting at others what to bring

I just left after 3-4 seconds

Next time I met that guy he went on over how he remembered me and that I was a "leaver"

Fun times

Either that or the host that left because "someone stole his disinfection pack"

[latent obsidian]

Worst I had was a guy closing a hacklocked door in an error section when we needed it for an alarm which we weren't ready for yet. And then after we lose the door to the error wave they flame me for not cfoaming it and doing the alarm instantly which isn't what we had planned 😄

Nothing too dramatic, and we still beat the level

[craggy pier]

It's just that I've seen some people feeling the need to micromanage everyone else for some reason

[latent obsidian]

I guess if you've done the level already it can be annoying to see incorrect preparations, but yeah you need to be reasonable how you talk to people

[frail onyx]

oh wow, looks like my first time doing LFG was great looking at peoples here eh

[latent obsidian]

And if you can't stand how people are playing explain things rather than barking orders

[frail onyx]

thanks for the earlier party man

[latent obsidian]

In general its been fine, we're just trading stories 😛

[craggy pier]

no worries 😄

[minor fractal]

Tbh, I'm starting to lean towards it being good to micromanage a bit more than I think most vets do rn.

But you do have to explain things.

[craggy pier]

Sure I've had worse experience in some MMO's random groups

[minor fractal]

Depends on level as well.

[latent obsidian]

good for the new players to improve quickly or to win on that run? or for everyone to have a fun time? (not that they are mutually exclusive)

[craggy pier]

I've kinda understood that some people WANT to be helped and others just want someone to play with in a relatively decent way

Like, sometimes I've had premades actually asking me for strats on some maps and then I get to say bring this or this etc

But I never do that unless I'm actively being asked to beforehand

[latent obsidian]

I'm glad when people ask for advice but normally I wouldn't assume people want directing through the level

I feel like a lot of advice is unwelcome

[minor fractal]

A lot of newer players seem to have bad habits they never correct, and I'm starting to get legitimately annoyed with people that, apparently, are getting pretty far through most rundowns while doing really dumb shit.

[craggy pier]

Absolutely I've seen people say dumb wrong stuff all the time, but here's the thing, they never listened to me

I've had a guy who kept repeating wrong shit info but if I correct them it starts being a bit embarassing tbh

"NO! I did it this way before and it worked!" "No they definitively do that!"

[minor fractal]

I'm an argumentative guy, personally.

I will fight anyone over dumb shit.

[latent obsidian]

Most common mistakes I see are poor ammo balancing, unwillingness to use melee and stealth issues

[craggy pier]

I mean I still hear all the time stuff like "If you foam that door they get attracted to it!"

It really feels like fighting a windmill

[minor fractal]

And, imo, the alternatives that other players take are all mostly ineffective.

[latent obsidian]

I can't think of many instances where people were leading the rest of the team astray tbh

with bad info

[craggy pier]

It's usually the guy that played a bit of the game 3-4 years ago and "guides" newbies through

They try something once, and with a sample size of one, they come to the wrong conclusion

[minor fractal]

A lot of long-time players tend to just silent tryhard, which results in a lot of people just getting carried and never learning anything.

Of the people that are actually willing to give advice, a lot of them are newer and give really bad takes or spread misinfo.

Of the people that are somewhat bossy, a lot of them are uncooperative and will flame people for dumb shit without explaining anything.

I think it's probably worthwhile to be a little bossy while explaining things, and to call people out at least sometimes if they're doing stupid shit.

Also, this my just come down to my preferences.

I've always been kind of a sweatlord, and I can only run into people that will throw for no reason so many times before it gets immensely tilting.

[latent obsidian]

What kind of throws do you mean? Maybe I've had better luck with teammates or maybe you are being more critical of small mistakes

[minor fractal]

Again, depends on the level...

[craggy pier]

I get where you're coming from, It's just that I get unconfortable when someone says something wrong and I correct them and then the atmosphere turns sour for noone's benefit (of course I'd get angry if they say stupid shit or force stupid tactics on relatively harder levels)

[minor fractal]

That's fair, I'm just a massive debate bro and I don't super mind being adversarial to people.

[minor fractal]

Depends on the level, and I'll decide my tone on that basis as well. I'm totally fine with being pretentious instead of mean to people. Like, if I give a talk about killing a giant w/out causing glows, and somebody fucking jumps at it for no reason, I'm gonna say something. I'm also willing to point out who caused a wake if a bad wake happens. For me, I just want people to at least be aware they did something wrong, because I've had multiple games where one guy is on-repeat making the same mistakes over and over and over, and it's super annoying.

R7D2 is the main level that's tilted me if people are doing dumb shit, though. Not refilling sentries, making greedy plays when we're trying to move back a zone, going into the stealth zones without saying anything after I've explicitly said I want to do the stealth and asked if that was okay, etc.

For stealth mistakes, as well...

I'd always assumed people were just skipping over it on purpose.

But I'm increasingly running into games where we clearly don't want to wake up certain rooms...

and the person causing wakes on repeat turns out to be legitimately incompetent.

[latent obsidian]

I feel like about half of those problems and plenty more that haven't been mentioned are people just not listening, which is annoying to have to deal with

[minor fractal]

Sure, but given I'm being vocal.

I can eventually just be genuinely mean to those people.

Which I'm okay with.

If you start hunting for the cell in R7D2 without asking, then proceed to wake up a miniboss and die, I'm going to tell you off.

[latent obsidian]

Is your aim in this just to make people better players?

It obviously isn't a priority to maintain an amiable environment

[minor fractal]

Because we're probably stalling for a specific reason, and if you're going to do the stealth you should at least be competent enough to not throw the run for no reason.

Pretty much.

[latent obsidian]

Fair enough, I don't particularly disagree but I certainly wouldn't be comfortable being so adversarial myself

If someone is being almost willfully obtuse and not listening then they are a detriment to everyone's experience anyway

[icy cave]

Most of them Spear users

[icy cave]

The community is better than most other game communities for sure. Ofc there will be oddballs

[dusky tiger]

does woods ever say "relax, i prevented him from living" (or something similar) after killing a scout

[tardy ingot]

Yea

sentry gun deployment voice lines when

or do I have to use a mod to add those

[vague bridge]

ok now heres the silly:

does bishop ever say "party at my place, that means get over here" after starting an alarm door

or bioscan in general

[craggy pier]

touching any team scan iirc

[vague bridge]

is that a yes

[craggy pier]

yes

[ocean spindle]

i fkin love the dialogue of this game so so much heklp

[dry pumice]

"Random voicelines ruin immersion"
"Random voicelines ruin immersion"
"Random voicelines ruin immersion"

Yes, i will never get over it.

[ocean spindle]

mute it

i will keep hearin characters curse when they have no ammo and reload guns

[dry pumice]

That's a quote from a dev.

Don't know which one, but it is.

The game used to have more voicelines.

But they got turned off.

[ocean spindle]

i wish there was an option to activate em again

[dry pumice]

Characters would comments on rooms being too big and so on.

Just... Not here.

[ashen bobcat]

what is best field of view

[ocean spindle]

a field with trees and cows

[icy cave]

Personal preference. most people like a lot

[ashen bobcat]

i mean what one

[icy cave]

Mine is around 100 horizontal

[ashen bobcat]

how do i ping

[icy cave]

click mouse wheel

[ocean spindle]

u can only ping certain stuff

not everything

[ashen bobcat]

how do i do horizontal

what about vertical

[icy cave]

same slide m8

read better 😅

[ocean spindle]

tbh i got confused too

[ashen bobcat]

i only see vertical

[ocean spindle]

i thought there was one i didnt saw

[icy cave]

When you touch the vertical, you'll see the horizontal value

[ashen bobcat]

so what does that change

[icy cave]

how much you see

[ashen bobcat]

ah

[tight crow]

how do we get the bots to go into the bioscan>???

[woeful kiln]

kill them

[icy cave]

kick em, do scans. add them back

[tight crow]

THANK YOU

[frail onyx]

if i wake up the front part of the room, which is better? keep trying to put the situation under control by keep using melee and hopefully don't wake up the entire room, or just wake everybody up and shoot?

[ocean spindle]

uh i think u should alwys go to save it unless u woke up a big mamalamba or theres like 70 splash so close they move as a single unit

[prisma ivy]

it depends on a lot of factors but imo think of it as a health / ammo tradeoff. if it's risky, backing out and not missing your shots is generally better if you won't lose health, don't be afraid of using your gun if you need to

[valid ivy]

how important are the different boosters?

[solemn flint]

kill everything

[ocean spindle]

usually they ok don't rlly affect that much
but u can get some gross mixes n be very powerful

[valid ivy]

ooh, like just spamming buffs on specials? or a variety of different boosts to make everything powerful?

[solemn flint]

u can 1 shot a giant with 3 melee damage booster=))

but booster are not that op

[ocean spindle]

yeah stuff like that

individual r ok but mixes can be funk

[solemn flint]

its good to have, but without it u will still be fine

[valid ivy]

I see a god before me and they have bequeathed this tiny little fish with a bucket of knowledge, I am going to F A R M for those melee buffs

[ocean spindle]

i only do em cause funny funny damage goes 4% up

[solemn flint]

not recommeded

[valid ivy]

oh really?

[solemn flint]

its just funny stuff in a deep dark place

[valid ivy]

that's fair

[ocean spindle]

farmin boosters is meh u get enough in every level

[solemn flint]

techniclly u cant farm booster because of artifact heat

[frail onyx]

Do you actually use them when you bring it?

Or only if you activate them during the run?

[solemn flint]

its passive

so u always have it

[ocean spindle]

there's some that need special conditions, but usually they activate on they own

i mean- all the run

[solemn flint]

special condition are usually when u are next to someone, your health are more than an ammount, enemy distance

[ocean spindle]

yeah, usually just bein close to somethin

but they activate automatically when the condition is met

i'm usin so many big boi words

[solemn flint]

what is big boi word?

[valid ivy]

big boi words make you look fancy

[solemn flint]

hmm

[ocean spindle]

uh automatically and met
they don't sound like a lot but i never use em cause i'm afraid ill do em wrong lmao

[solemn flint]

hmm

[valid ivy]

is it worth it to try to complete levels solo?

or should i use bots if i don't have any friends?

[craggy pier]

use bots they are fine for like half the levels

but I mean I do recommend playing with real people, u can find people in the LFG channels here

[valid ivy]

ooh, you're right

[solemn flint]

there are good side and bad side with bot

[valid ivy]

there's a certain stigma with being a new player who hasn't even passed R1A1, should i try to gain more experience before I try to play with others?

[ocean spindle]

just do the trainin n jump to #lfg-beginners

[valid ivy]

OH THAT'S A CHAT?

[ocean spindle]

uh hold on

[ocean spindle]

yeah lfg is pretty neato

[valid ivy]

how do i do it btw?

[ocean spindle]

well uh theres how to matchmake but
the basic is u click on a rundown, preferably rundown 1 if ur startin out, click A1 which is the first level [after u did training]
and the button of "create lobby" should be there
if u dont wanna be a host, u can just copy the code of the game u wanna play [the bunch of numbers], then go to gtfo again and there should be a button of "join lobby" in the sides on the main screen

[valid ivy]

ohhh okay

thank you so much <3

[ocean spindle]

its nothin
u go die in the darkness :]

[valid ivy]

i'll do my best <3

[ocean spindle]

any other questions u got heres the chat

[icy cave]

But I'll always recommend ditching bots all together and finding people. Cause you'll never finish the game with the bots

[vital sierra]

is there any level that have a lot of scout in 1 zone

or at least 3

[weary mesa]

R2D1 or R2D2

[past mesa]

r7b2 r7c1 r7d1 r7d2

[gray sonnet]

Here too

Nah hes out for blood

[past mesa]

Do it in lfg North American

[icy cave]

yeah they'll click on it for sure

[past mesa]

They need the content I have been there terrible things ain’t enough grass for a single soul

[neon gust]

emostoner whats the meta gun for this current build

[past mesa]

Well they got him

I share no common servers anymore

[icy cave]

He left us

[gray sonnet]

The hero did his qeust

And vanished

What a man

[icy cave]

His links will stay with us

[past mesa]

He didn’t get to share his bounty with lfg North America we truly are lost

[gray sonnet]

Yeah

😔

[past mesa]

Okay time to go hit champ gtfo

[vital sierra]

thank you

[icy cave]

scaler has a vid where he covers all that

[lost flame]

Scaler my beloved

[agile marlin]

wonder if there will be additional playable prisoners

[icy cave]

Likely not

[agile marlin]

rip

why is that

[craggy pier]

the existing 4 too cool

[icy cave]

Cause very likely game ends after R8

And current characters are kinda beasts in the lore

Hey but who knows

I don't really get why we need more characters but meaby if they decide to do R9 etc

But that's a 2% chance

[agile marlin]

damn

[fierce nebula]

yeah they made the existing 4 into heros

I kinda miss when it was just random fuck prisoners sentenced to suicide squad

[craggy pier]

One of them had a different name too

North IIRC

[vital sierra]

i don't think they are hero

3 of them are messed up in the head, either mow down random civs or just literally sign up for people to do f up stuff

and then we have dauda

[icy cave]

leave dauda alone

[craggy pier]

That's a BIIIIG statement

[fierce nebula]

damn took the words out of my mouth

[vital sierra]

you want him ded?

[neon gust]

Nah we can celebrate them like the joker

[craggy pier]

Jokes aside I always give him the biotracker when I can

[neon gust]

Plin plin plin plin plin

Holdon to your bollocks

[craggy pier]

Dauda>Woods>the rest

[neon gust]

Nah dauda dont stfu

Its increible how fast his voicelines come in woth bio

[craggy pier]

But he also has negative sides

Like, why aren't all 4 just Dauda

[vital sierra]

shut up you mug

there's enemies here

[mild magnet]

Is matchmaking ingame not used much?

[solemn flint]

no one use it

its better to use lfg channel

[mild magnet]

Do I have to add people on steam for that or how does it work?

[solemn flint]

.t lfg

[uneven gulch]

Hello! If you are unaware, we have Looking For Group (LFG) channels to help users group up and play the game. They are located here: #lfg-north-america / #lfg-latin-america / #lfg-eastern-europe / #lfg-western-europe / #lfg-asia / #lfg-oceania / #lfg-africa / #lfg-beginners.

If you are unsure of how to create or join a lobby, please see the instructions here: #how-to-matchmake.

[icy cave]

nah lobby codes will be exchanged

[valid thicket]

What are the commands to type in terminals to see all the resources in a certain zone? Is it also possible to see the loot in certain rooms of that zone?

[latent obsidian]

"list zone_[ZONENUMBER] res" to see a list of resources in the zone
"ping RESOURCE_NAME" to see what room it is in and highlight it

ping only works from within the same zone as the resource

you can't list loot in a specific room though

[winged turtle]

List is the search function for the entire level, if thats all you type it will tell you the name of every single item in the level.

you can narrow the search down by adding up to two criteria for the search to match exactly to:

• "Zone_###" will only show you things in that zone.
• Name ; you can use the name of the item itself "ammo_pack" "key" ect
• Category ; every item has a search tag associated with it: "Resource" "security" "Unknown" ect

so a common search will be
"List Zone_[#] Resource"

[thorn night]

are there any specific tricks to beating r1c1 with bots, is it even possible? holding the chokepoint on the bridge gets me to 8th startup but as soon as turrets run out of ammo i'm dead.

[tardy ingot]

since people have done it already (even without bots). Yes it is

what tools are you using exactly?

[thorn night]

i've tried pretty much everything in the past 4-5 hrs. i had 4 turrets in the last match. 2x burst 1 sniper 1 shotgun

[robust field]

shotgun sentries aren't worth running

[tardy ingot]

run biotracker on a bot

dont take shotgun sentry

take 2 sniper sentrys (synergy with bio tracker) and 1 burst (for support)

place 1 sniper and 1 burst sentry for the first waves. place the 2nd sniper once you feel like you need the fire power (usually around 3rd or 4th wave)

force bots to take tool refill and ammo early on

(if they take a med, take dmg via fall dmg so they heal and you can make them pickup a tool or ammo)

[neon gust]

Please no lmao

😆

[floral acorn]

u gotta be the tool guy as bots won't fill up deployed sentries, but other than that: keep moving, before waves spawn in, fill sentries on bridge tile, push towards elevator, then walk back shooting behind u .. your movement tells bots to follow u and kill enemies as they appear .. if u stand still, they'll take a few pot shots and get ready to melee the ones that get thru..

[tardy ingot]

i mean i wouldnt

some people just mald about it

[neon gust]

He will spend 30 min doing thst then dying in reactor

Huge l

[floral acorn]

the last 2 waves are a bit bitchy, might wanna save some sniper sentry rounds for em

[tardy ingot]

tbh if you take bio + 2nd sniper sentry and 1 burst you can let them shoot start to finish

[neon gust]

Better for him to just pull back when he get push and let him just do resource distribution

[thorn night]

ok that makes sense. thanks

[vague bridge]

can you rejoin a lobby as a player

[icy cave]

yes

[winged turtle]

you can copy the lobby id, leave and pop right back in

[rich yarrow]

unreliable at most

[devout nimbus]

is the heavy ar really that bad, for like all levels(except for d2) Ive been running hel revolver and heavy ar and I think its pretty great but like literally everyone else seems to say its ass

[winged turtle]

it got a nerf in the form of random direction recoil, so it used to be great from what i hear, but now it down with the mortals again

[neon gust]

Its not that bad

Im tellong you 3 years playing this game

Nerfs are always exagerated by the community

Now buff thos

Can we buff carabine again?

60 in the mag like machingun would be nice

[icy cave]

no ideas for them plz

[weary mesa]

Revo had a huge nerf in R5! It lost 4 bullets!!!!

[neon gust]

Classic

HUGE NERF BRO

Dude in lfg be like

[weary mesa]

Chargers are a bad enemy btw

[mossy aurora]

is there any reason to take HAR though now that we have both machine guns other than "i feel like it"

[neon gust]

Well they fucked up by putting it in the special slot

They should stick to their ideas next time

[weary mesa]

Heavy SMG returns as a special

👀

[neon gust]

Might as well at this point

Lets oversaturate the special ot

Tbh it would.be better to have heavy smg in the special slot

We got too many smg primeries

Smg,pdw, carabine

No smg on special

[icy cave]

One special would allow for that double SMG build

we have double shotty, double AR, where is double smg?

[mossy aurora]

heavy smg special with 8x zoom thermal sight

[tardy ingot]

the issue with HAR is. Why take shitty recoil machine gun with good stats if you could take meh to shitty recoil machine gun with insane stats but charge up

like fuck what they did with it

its useable for sure

but holy hell it feels like ass

[neon gust]

Eeeh its aight

Ive been using it lately

Only complain its that hipfire could be a little better and maybe slightly morr ammo

[neon gust]

Eeh for the sake of versatility and variety i would like it

Smg smg build would funny fosho

[icy cave]

Eyy I was serious bruv.

[tardy ingot]

useable yes
feels good? hell no

the HAR before wasnt giga broken and felt godly

man its so fun watching bullets go randomly around as if i had shotgun spray at times

[icy nacelle]

Just move the Heavy SMG To Special and give it the same nerf as HAR But don't buff it at all.

[icy cave]

Plz no, I just want to spray down waves

[craggy pier]

W-w-with what?

[icy nacelle]

Hey it fits your double SMG Build and sounds like how they'd balance something like that. 👀

[icy cave]

Everything

[icy nacelle]

I'll just take Heavy SMG Back either way.

[neon gust]

I mean it feels good to me but it could use a little buff

But no recoil

Shit was a laser beam before

[neon gust]

They could always just use my video

Exept the revo buff in thst video

Man was i re ta rded saying that

16.2 wtf was i thinking

[tardy ingot]

i mean it went from laser beamish to worst random ass bloom in the game

[tardy ingot]

wait what?

[neon gust]

Old vid

Somethings i truly regret sayi ng

[tardy ingot]

i have tried HAR some times recently. But i just dont like being perfectly on an enemy in its intended range and my gun going haywire even on burst fire sometimes

If it had more kick, id understand. Recoil control is a skill. Random spray nah

[neon gust]

I can get behind the recoil been poop

[tardy ingot]

i personally dont enjoy making guns feel bad to balance them

imagine if they made burst cannon have random spray when it returns… like wtf

make it a very controlled gun but give it some up kick when letting loose and maybe nerf stats if you rly want to

[weary mesa]

Those flyers aren't gonna know what hit them

Don't even have to look at you to die from 16.2 damage

[neon gust]

Dont do me like that

[weary mesa]

Add pierce too

Heavy hel revolver

[neon gust]

Pres revo

3.6 pres multi

[weary mesa]

Same ammo amount

[neon gust]

Cant wait for r3

[weary mesa]

GIGA guns

[neon gust]

Alt r3 finna be a movie with all the weapons

BIG BOY GUNS

[weary mesa]

and then we get rifle

[neon gust]

Not rebalance hel weaponry

Finna be a movie

[weary mesa]

Everyone like they buffed everything after R6

Even the hel gun and BC and Hel Rifle 🤡

[neon gust]

Hel rifle pen increase from 5 to 8

Lezduit

[weary mesa]

Down with pierce capitalism

Pierce communism when

everything pierces

Distribute the pierce

[median yacht]

Just got GTFO on Steam for my deck and I was just wondering if there was anything I should know before getting into it, and if anyone wants to show a newbie the ropes in game I appreciate the help. Haven’t even started yet, will try for the first time here soon after watching videos to get some extra insight and to not look like as much of a noob. 😂

[vital sierra]

check out Training for tutorial

and then play rundown 1 for the real tutorial

[inner pivot]

how do i join somebody with the lobby id

woops

[winged turtle]

and make sure people you play with know you literally don't have a keyboard lol

[median yacht]

Yeah, was doing the first mission after the tutorial with just bots and I got stuck because I had to get information about a white key card off a terminal and couldn’t because my keyboard wouldn’t come up. You can with the steam deck normally but I upgraded to windows 10 and long story short a lot of things about it stop working the same way. My only solution is a dock to hook up my keyboard or a keyboard that is usb c I could hook to the deck.

Or just find people to play with and make them be the computer nerds 😂

[winged turtle]

these are both powerful options 😆

[median yacht]

Wouldn’t mind finding someone to play with until I get one of the two options, if I don’t I can’t really play the game I guess. 😂

[winged turtle]

lfg should have you covered lol

luckily most folks have a keyboard lol

[fierce scroll]

I’m having an issue with double text where there will be a shadow right behind it. I can’t post a screenshot here apparently, but I don’t know how to fix it

[vital sierra]

what would you guys recommended for reactor defend (r2d2)

i looked and see that, most of the gun is quite good

[agile marlin]

Machine Pistol and Machine Gun is quiet good and other ppl try to use revolver or sniper for giants I guess

[mossy aurora]

1 sniper, 3 whatever assumign people can shoot their guns

also maybe depends where you hold

[icy cave]

Hel revolver and MG. defend on bridge

[vital sierra]

hmm

[lost flame]

Even as the spawn spots increases?

We found it best to hold out in the North area

[icy cave]

Yep, bridge is ez hold. 2 watch front 2 watch back

Ez gg

[lost flame]

Fair

[icy cave]

First tried it like that. always had at least 3 minutes spare time to loot after getting codes

[vital sierra]

gun is real good already, that's why i'm wondering which is recommended

you basically can use any gun to defend

like i can see the sniper being recommended but we only need 1

[icy cave]

Never had time problems on that map at least

[vital sierra]

i guess just MG/Sniper is great combo

recommend gun are so not me tbh

i want people to play whatever they feel like

[icy cave]

Obv

altho for reactors I could see weapon selections being a handicap

in extreme scenario's

[vital sierra]

only when like, big charger and stuff happen

[icy cave]

Nah I mean, whole team takes sniper

[vital sierra]

this reactor you just pick 1 sniper and kill shit

[icy cave]

When the team lacks wave clearing

[vital sierra]

who in their right mind would go 4 snipers

unless meme-ing

[icy cave]

But you'd have to go to an extreme scenario with 4 dum dums

[vital sierra]

we do have briefing which literally telling people HEY THIS IS A REACTOR LEVEL

[icy cave]

That's why I said extreme scenario's

people no read, that has already been established multiple times 😂

[vital sierra]

i guess for now, tool recommendation is better for this rundown

[vital sierra]

people looking for a youtube video where the creator literally just read the patchnotes

[icy cave]

for example 😅

[vital sierra]

that's what i hate

[latent obsidian]

Thats a great idea, I can make GTFO patch note vids!

[icy cave]

What you want me to say. I 've seen teams go in for reactors, KNOWING it's a reactor without wave clear capacity cause everyone wants to be the one with sniper, HCP whatever and not one wants to compromise

[vital sierra]

finished reading in 10 seconds, the rest of 7 minutes and 50 seconds is just black screen

[icy cave]

In that case it's just ego stopping people from doing levels

[latent obsidian]

got to hit the threshold for extra ads

Why do people want to run the HCP and sniper so bad anyway

[icy cave]

Gtfo patchnotes tho, kinda barebones

[vital sierra]

that's the point

[icy cave]

you need to do a game which patches 6 times a week

[vital sierra]

Alt rundown 3 got added

fade to black

[icy cave]

Ark

Congrats now go earn money

[vital sierra]

hcp is satisfy to shoot at small

[latent obsidian]

HCP I didn't even enjoy pre nerf and sniper is obv good to have on the team but makes defending myself under pressure harder

[vital sierra]

and sniper is satisfy when shoot at big

[icy cave]

Yeah and then the whole team is swarmed by smalls and then they come here: how to clear R2D2 (or R1C1)

We always run out of ammo 😂😂

It's like: "f this level there is not enough tool, this shit is impossible." "what you bring?" "4 shotgun sentries"

[icy cave]

I would trust @latent obsidian going for a scout more than a dude like this 😂

[vital sierra]

shotgun sentry is really good at clearing wave of enemy, but that ammo uses

[latent obsidian]

I should have the scouts are friends role honestly

[icy cave]

Honestly yes 😅

[sweet aurora]

You'd love playing with me
My aim means i wont touch snipers
But my aim for ad clear is amazing
Mainly because more targets = less chance of missing

[icy cave]

Sure, I play with anyone who wants

[latent obsidian]

and I thought I was special 😭

[icy cave]

Yeah but I don't play R3 with everyone tho 👉👈

[latent obsidian]

Could finish what we started some time perhaps

[icy cave]

was about to say

Just 3 levels left 😂😂😂

[solemn flint]

what do u guys think about the guns in gtfo?

i think cabine is underated

smg is trash because u have better option

(im coparing the stat of the weapon in the wiki)

[vital sierra]

most gun are fine

smg is the default weapon for every new player

[solemn flint]

i actually think that cabine is a better option than the ar

based on the stat

[vital sierra]

not much recoil, mediocre damage, good amount of damage

carbine is a better version of smg but burst fire

[solemn flint]

am i wrong about the cabine being better than ar?

[vital sierra]

the reason why people pick carbine is because they got overbuff

could be better than AR

since it has more damage, but damage falloff is greater than AR

so you have pros and cons

[solemn flint]

based on the stat, cabine have more damage, same range, faster rate of fire, lower reload rate

[vital sierra]

it's basically between automatic vs burst

with burst, you might waste some ammo because burst fire mode

[solemn flint]

yea

[vital sierra]

for automatic, you can control that

pros and cons

[solemn flint]

bullpurp rifle is trash

[vital sierra]

the damage isn't great, but it is a laser beam

[solemn flint]

does laser beam mean almost no recoil?

[vital sierra]

the spread of the gun while hip fire almost non-existing

and it was similar to Heavy AR but when ADS (before the nerf)

when you use HAR pre-nerf, it's just a laser beam

ADS down, and 0 recoil

if we're talking about damage HAR is better than MG

[neon gust]

kekw

looks at stat

gun trash

[sturdy glen]

trash in gtfo is like

20% worse at most

[vital sierra]

nah

10% worse

[ocean spindle]

trash% worse

[vital sierra]

either .1 more damage

or a little more recoil

[neon gust]

stats in this game its the pitfall of its playerbase

[ocean spindle]

never look at numbers only at ur heart

[neon gust]

but its a necessary part of the cycle for people to get better

[solemn flint]

My heart still say that bullpup is trash

[past mesa]

Carbine buff incoming :D

[solemn flint]

Long reload+ no gun feeling when shoot

[ocean spindle]

my heart says ur heart said what ur heart needed by being ur heart while my heart isnt ur heart

[neon gust]

no doubt about it

[vital sierra]

some of the gun have long reload

[solemn flint]

Why does cabine need a buff?

[ocean spindle]

think its a joke

[neon gust]

needs a buff

[vital sierra]

hel rev got long reload

[neon gust]

under delivers

[ocean spindle]

yeah too weak

cant even shoot bullets

[neon gust]

yeah

[ocean spindle]

fires chickens

[spark wolf]

BUFF THE PISTLO

[neon gust]

needs a mag of 60 to be on part with machinegun

[ocean spindle]

and a reload of machinepistol

[neon gust]

yeah pistlo

[sturdy glen]

can they just keep buffing carbine mag size but also subtly make the mag in game longer and longer each update

[past mesa]

buff note pad

[solemn flint]

We definately need a buff on pistol

[neon gust]

cant have that

third party

programs in my game

[ocean spindle]

buff terminals

[past mesa]

sorry i have been teaching pubs uplinks are done from the logs

[upper ginkgo]

but are you the guy who teaches pubs how to use terminal on r5a2

[past mesa]

i am not i teach them how to use note pad on c1

[spark wolf]

WE ARE PUBS

[past mesa]

you know it

[ocean spindle]

the hells that
like 'newies'?

[past mesa]

like public players people that play in lfg

[ocean spindle]

is defo a curious word for it

[past mesa]

maybe

[ocean spindle]

dont teach anythin let em die for fun

[past mesa]

i mean they will die if you teach them

that is the wonder of pubs nothing can help

[ocean spindle]

as the JTmachinima "Baldi's Basics in Education and Learning" rap song released on 2018
teach em how to die

[vital sierra]

did the devs fix the bug where if you put mine on different surface they will not explode?

oh, they did

[icy cave]

why you ask then?

[vital sierra]

i thought i'm going crazy

[icy cave]

you are

[vital sierra]

i'm the prisoner

oh no

this is a simulation

and then i was right about something else

i can now do the funny with blood door

[icy cave]

Wait what funny?

not the cheese, plz not cheese

[vital sierra]

not the cheese

[tardy ingot]

per shot. But due to mag size not quite

but yeah HAR stat wise definetly isnt bad. Recoil or rather the random kicking is just the worst of any gun

[tardy ingot]

Def is

While dmg is a 10% difference the mag size makes it have nearly double dmg per mag. And due to the buff 2 tapping strikers has become reliable.

[tardy ingot]

Always

R7B1 @winged turtle has a good write up for how to do it. But i dont know if they are awake

Otherwise r1b2 has one quite early with no alarm. R2A1 has three behind 3 quick alarms

[icy cave]

R7D2 has 5 immediatly, no alarms 👀

[tardy ingot]

[icy cave]

shhhh

[craggy pier]

I'm awaiting with anticipation what sandwich is writing

Let's see

[ocean spindle]

thank u
how do i improve speed on r1c2? with botties
i have an hour to complete it, and even when i do get to the final door i have seconds on the clock and cant do it

[icy cave]

you have to imagine his message beforehand

[ocean spindle]

... oh my god

i just noticed it

[neon gust]

The suspense is killing me what you notice!!!!

[craggy pier]

We never knew

[latent obsidian]

why are you doing this? Just a goal you set yourself to beat it with bots in an hour?

I'd just watch some speedrun videos of it and see what people do there

[ocean spindle]

no its cause nvidia geforce only lets me do it in an hour

[craggy pier]

what do you mean?

[neon gust]

o b s

[ocean spindle]

streamin tool

[craggy pier]

I'm kinda sure I've a 1:30 hour recording of R5A3

[ocean spindle]

i mean what

[neon gust]

no?

its a recording software too

[ocean spindle]

yes but- thought it was a joke
why obs record the run?

[neon gust]

yes?

[craggy pier]

nvidia shadowplay makes longer than 1hour dude

[neon gust]

its more optimize too

[ocean spindle]

what

[neon gust]

Are you trying to record a vid yes or no?

[ocean spindle]

do yall think im talkin of nvidia geforce as the recording software?

[gentle tendon]

I think they are talking about GeForce Now. PC streaming. You only get a certain time slot with that

[ocean spindle]

yeah that thing

nvidia geforce now is a thing where u play games ur pc cant handle for an hour for free

with internet

[craggy pier]

ah you mean that

[ocean spindle]

so i got an hour to do it

[neon gust]

oooooooohhh the streaming service of it

[gentle tendon]

Shadowplay, the recording software, has no such time limit

[ocean spindle]

if i wanted to record i would use camtasia studio 8 recordin screen function :]
im kiddin

ok so any advice?

[latent obsidian]

I guess just bring a bunch of turrets so you don't have to think too hard about setting up for alarms

and a bio

But besides that its just knowing the level so watch some speedruns or keep practicing 🤷‍♂️

[icy cave]

Keep practicing every time nvidia allows you*

[ocean spindle]

i feel a bit the same watchin a speedrunner and a experienced gtfo player
well both r kinda the same but even when they not speedrunnin they do it so fast like wow

[latent obsidian]

Or find some players that know your streaming situation that can run through it with you I guess

[ocean spindle]

impressive

oh i hate bein carried

thats a no

[latent obsidian]

fair

I wouldn't normally suggest that but if you only have one hour and keep getting cucked by the timer...

You're gonna run into levels that are longer still

[ocean spindle]

i mean ive gotten to the final door many times

all my runs practically die there

so i just gotta chop off seconds

[craggy pier]

Probably not an aswer but I guess that what Ellda is trying to say here

Is that this isn't a R2C2 problem

[icy cave]

Not carried but obv things will go faster

[craggy pier]

It's a problem that you're going to unfortunately have with other maps too

[ocean spindle]

r1c2

[latent obsidian]

Okay well if you aren't struggling gameplay wise so much as time then maybe take a precision rifle or sniper and shoot scouts whenever you encounter them and deal with the enemies rather than trying to stealth it

[icy cave]

congrats btw

[craggy pier]

Ah R1C2, you can do that faster than an hour

The point still kind of stands

[icy cave]

40 min ez gg

[craggy pier]

Do the easier alarm first then the alarmless one then Z99 or Z98 whichever has key than last alarm

So you don't need to backtrack in case you were doing that

[ocean spindle]

i mean ik im gonna get fucked with R7 with R2 with R3 R4 R5
ive played b2 extreme on an hour and yes i didnt get to shit
but my pc can take gtfo, or, most levels w/o crashin, the fps are just bad
so i can practice there, play 7 hours in a row, go to nvidia, try it out, and if i take longer come back to my normal desktop game

[craggy pier]

stealth less, snipe shit more

Scout? Go bonk.

Room TOO full? shoot the place up

[ocean spindle]

i take a chokemod cause, its
funkier

is ok?

[latent obsidian]

Sure, you can choke mod scouts from some distance

Not all the way across the room but it makes it possible

I guess if you wanted you could give someone mines and pull rooms and mine them on the door

[craggy pier]

yeah, this

[latent obsidian]

This is playing in a pretty weird way though due to your time constraint

its like a half speedrun

[craggy pier]

There's some doors that aren't really needed

[latent obsidian]

but also with bots

[craggy pier]

Also avoid using cfoam so you dont spend too much time preparing for alarms

[ocean spindle]

maybe theres some rooms i can just escape too

[craggy pier]

place sentry, guns go bang

[latent obsidian]

you could look at the map and do something clever in some areas probs

alert one or two rooms, fall back to a mine, carry on

[limpid valve]

R2E1 has one in the first room or side room

so, if you want to lab stealth scout kill attempts R7B1 is your man.

you stealth kill the first zone (Zone88), you do an alarm for one of the locked zones (Zone_89 & Zone_90) and WithOut Opening That Door, you do the second alarm door as well. BEFORE you open any Security doors, and after both alarms, you go to the console and "List Key" and then you "Query Key_color_123" to find out which of the two security doors you open.
You then open the security door that has the key in it and you stealth into that room. Without killing the scout you get the key. then you push forward into Zone_91. This zone will have three rooms and one scout total. Kill the scout if you have to but leaving it untouched is good for practice with this loop. The security door is to Zone_92, once you get there, you have a check point.
Once you finish that check point scan you can stealth attempt 2-3 scouts in a row behind you. If you botch it, and wipe, you just get sent back to the checkpoint. If you succeed, you can just shoot the bots and take fall damage to reset to checkpoint and try again!

Set up takes me a little less than 10 minutes, and then I can get 3 scout attempts within 5 minutes without reload screens.

R2C1 is best right now i think

[icy cave]

Not R2E1? the scout is like: there

[gentle tendon]

Havn't been back to E1 yet, so dont remember. But its unlikely that someone looking to practice scouts has E1 unlocked

[icy cave]

I think he has tho? oh well meaby not but at least there is a scout in the very first room or side room. No alarms in the way of that

[wary linden]

you sure you want to practice scout killing in infectious fog?

[coral girder]

there's mods available for the sole purpose of practicing killing scouts which you can find more on in the modding server - if you're willing to mod for that purpose

[winged turtle]

you sure you want to practice scout killing in infectious fog?

[fierce nebula]

reminds of that person that defended checkpoints with "you can just respawn and practice killing scouts"

[craggy pier]

It's a weird point to make, but it'd actually be a great way of practicing scout

I assume they were referring to R6C1

Personally I remember using R4A3 to practice scout killing

To be fair I also wonder how much you actually need to practice for someone to reliably killing scouts

I feel like full charge bonk to head jump before hitting ain't technically hard to do

I feel like it's more important to know how far you can push the "I dont care about touching the tendrils cause scout's about to die anyway"

I assume most of it is more about attitude?

Like, not being scared about it is probably a pivotal step

Then again, of course, practice gives confidence

[winged turtle]

it is a nice optimization tool for practice, but ya, it doesn't justify the fame system lol

thats like a >1% reason for it to exist

[icy cave]

As long as I have a 4 use meds, yes

[willow dragon]

7 use ammos when

Thats enough ammo to last a single person for an entire DPE

[minor fractal]

Getting the muscle memory down takes time, missing it even 10-20% of the time is a real hurdle to get over. Also, yeah, the confidence thing is big.

Also, tbh, a lot of getting truly good at killing scouts is just having very good stealth fundamentals.

The hardest scouts are always ones that have at least 5 other enemies in the room with them, and at that point you have to know how to make space, create openings, and generally play around the scout effectively.

[neon gust]

Im gonna keep it real wichu

those maps that are only scouts

are kinda stupid

because it doesnt really teach you anything

[fierce nebula]

I mean isn't the purpose to get the timings and angles right to properly kill a scout

[neon gust]

Scouts that are actually in rooms that are diffucult will still give people who lack the confidence a hard time anyways

[neon gust]

I get it but i just think its dumb because its unrealistic

[tardy ingot]

isnt there litteraly levels with enemys aswell?

like 1-3 scouts per room and a mix of enemys every time aswell?

[neon gust]

I do not know, because i dont only drop once when it was the hotest thing

back when it first release

i still believe it was dumb back then

[tardy ingot]

i only did it once to test with shadow scouts

had only scout levels and mixed for both back then

[mossy aurora]

last i did there are maps that have normal enemies as well

[neon gust]

Same thing with a firing range too

its like, you'll never be shooting just one way at a stationary target that will not retaliate

well, only 1 shot then rooms awake

i kinda see people asking for features for the sake of features

i rather have the devs actually just focus on the stuff they actually promise a long time ago (that will most likely never happend) like weapon customization

[tardy ingot]

r1c1 reactor

[neon gust]

Last time i check i said stationary

[tardy ingot]

oh i missread that as being stationary

mb

[neon gust]

i mean your not wrong r1c1 its pretty much feels like that tho

if everyone knows how to shoot, c1 its just a snooze fest

[weary mesa]

R4D1 spawn hold

[neon gust]

inb4 ALT R4D1 spawns shit on top of you on purpose to avoid people holding in bridge

I seriously hope they find a way to fix that

Doing it the way they wanted you to do it its pretty pog

[weary mesa]

There's a lot more movement and fun when not at spawn

And faster

[winged turtle]

for me, i am realizing it was less about learning, and more desensitizing myself. my first 30? 40? hours of this game were red/green light, 'what happened?!' 'how is this game so hard?' full panic, blind playthrough.

it took a lot of scout kills to get past the shaking lol

the recovery that grinding scout kills and being on this Discord gave me was invaluable. demystified the game and let actually start playing

still trying to squash my bad habits from those days tbh

[vital sierra]

the game give you the experience, and it did

unless you get jumped by experience player who just spoil every details and every cheat/exploit/bug

[neon gust]

You gotta strike a balance of the two to enjoy the game still after many hours

[tardy ingot]

when vets immediatly say „ah yeah just door bug“

[vital sierra]

[vital sierra]

ah ye, just toggle cheats

[winged turtle]

thats true, and striking the balance is hard, but making sure players don't play GTFO like Amnesia the Dark Descent is my main goal

but i definitely pulled the curtain back too fast on a lot of new players. giving them 4,000 words on stealth and how cooler stealth is the goal

[winged turtle]

" ' ~ TGM ' iS iN tHe GaMe, ItS nOt ChEaTiNg"

[neon gust]

that and people need to understand that this game have guns

never forgetti reviews that said the alarms ruin the stealth

[winged turtle]

and specifically if you are trying to get them to see them as not such such a big deal, an A level is the best option for sure

[turbid horizon]

Bruh actually

[ember mirage]

ayyy

I'm starting to suck less yay!

[turbid horizon]

💀

Ah yes the non stealth section ruins the stealth

Bozo’s

[ember mirage]

IGN review

[turbid horizon]

6/10, “too much water”

I can’t take game journalism seriously anymore

[fierce nebula]

not wrong but I'd say "use modded levels for practice" does not equate to that at all

[fierce nebula]

yeah I only enjoy the memes so whenever there is decent game journalism I get disappointed (the IGN GTFO review was actually not bad)

[maiden pagoda]

so I'm kinda new here, and was wondering if there is a suggested order in which the current rundowns should be done? when I was starting I just picked to begin with alt 1, but I'm starting to think that was a bad decision lol

[ocean spindle]

no no it wasnt

u should go in order

[fierce nebula]

^^^

if you think Alt R1 is hard then prepare yourself boy

[spark wolf]

focus on R8

[woven bone]

does anyone know why my icue stops working when i play GTFO

[turbid horizon]

icue get's screwy with a lot of games

[pulsar kraken]

Can I yell at Schaeffer for 50$ please?

[icy cave]

Alt R1 is the first and easiest, so you in the good spot

Welcome to the club m8, where you do C/D/E !!! tier levels and peeps dunno how to ping, are afraid of scouts and are angery at you when you wake up an enemy

[sweet aurora]

i really dont get why scouts are a big deal
ok ive only encountered them in r1 but theres still enemies in the rooms with them
and they can either be entirely ignored while still exploring the room (which takes longer sure)
or you can just... wait for it to take the tendrils in, move to it, and bonk its head in as it kneels down again

you can use the torch to force them to crouch in a space thats more open or away from enemies
literally not a threat unless you just arent aware of it

[tacit zealot]

Damn I guess you gotta play more

[neon gust]

Leaving enemies alive, truly an EVAL moment

[icy cave]

play nice

[icy cave]

You'll see later on (if you make it that far)

[floral acorn]

if no other enemies around, do shift-tap aggro, more consistent than flashlights etc, u got ample time to walk the gap and decapitate full charge, even when the tendrils are coming out

[vestal linden]

does anyone know which rundown is the best for testing stuff on the scouts? i wanna try some stuff on them in a solo lobby and it would be ideal if there was somewhere i can easily encounter one

[upper ginkgo]

r7b1 is probably the best if you want to deal with an isolated scout, but you have to deal with an alarm first
