gtfo-related-questions

[river dove]

Cuz I have been scoping

[tranquil arch]

It helps with aim because most shotguns in this game shoot where your barrel is pointing.

Not where your scope is.

[river dove]

Ah that might be why ty

[minor fractal]

Ehhh

It's better than it was before

that's for sure.

[serene night]

So what's this game about? I bought it a while ago but couldn't matchmake, thinkign it was a problemw ith my shitty ISP... but I upgraded to modern internet speeds now and I still can't matchmake. it looks like people don't really use the matchmaking to find groups?

[trim rock]

@serene night Noone uses ingame matchmaking. Use the Discord lfg (looking for group)

There are channels for most regions

[serene night]

Is there any single player shit I should work on before hopping in with others?

[trim rock]

You can play a bit with the bots to get some grasp of mechanics, but if you use #lfg-beginners you can find people to teach you

[serene night]

Ok, thanks

[trim rock]

[flint musk]

Are the logs different between the old rundowns and the alts? I didn't start playing until recently (about halfway into altR2 atm), and I wanna know if I missed out on some lore I should go look up.

[ocean spindle]

i think so yeah

[dry pumice]

Most of them come back, but theres also new and changed ones

But you shouldn't be missing on anything minus some trivial details

[main dagger]

is the heavy SMG any good?

[ocean spindle]

its cool

[tranquil arch]

it's not bad for the dmg, reload speed and clip

but it really struggles to hitstun enemies in any meaningful way

so anything tankier than small enemies in large packs may be an issue.

[granite night]

I started playing recently, so just a question about ALT rundowns.

So basically its like a "enhanced" version of old rundows. How actually diferent they are to their non alt counterparts. Can't find a straightfoward answers/comparsion anywhere

[ocean spindle]

they change some rooms, they add so enemies, but generally they are very faithful to the og

new enemies really only appear in one two or not a single lvl in a rundowm

the biggest change is just bein able to use weapons that werent available

[soft crater]

I wouldn't say "enhanced"

[cold quarry]

if you haven't played the old ones, it'll be hard to notice a difference. rooms are moved around, you have more gun selection

lot of vets are always back-in-my-day'ing about the difficulty

[soft crater]

You can't stop me. Uses helpp on Tank

[granite night]

I see, thanks!

[soft crater]

No way. Impossible

Where is the fake staircase everyone fell down in the OG R1A1

[dry pumice]

They are mostly same with very minor differences. Devs did not originally though of bringing them back, so this is the best you'll get.

I did hear reports that enemies that were not present in originals have been spotted in ALT version, but if anything that just makes them more exciting.

[cold quarry]

their original plan was so batshit crazy

make all that content and then just. get rid of it forever

[past mesa]

true

crazy take love this

[granite night]

since this is the official discord I will refrain from saying what I true think about it but yeah

[past mesa]

na go off

[granite night]

glad they are bringing it back

[past mesa]

they cant hurt you

just make an alt

they cant keep you down

become assended

[cold quarry]

imagine if they stuck with that

[granite night]

nice bait official mod

[cold quarry]

some dude buys GTFO in a year, sees 'R8' and that's it

thats all you get

[ocean spindle]

jish is actually a 10c dev

[past mesa]

always have been

[ocean spindle]

they will go to ur house and uninstall gtfo

or even worse

[dry pumice]

Game is game

[ocean spindle]

update it so every box in the game has lock melters

[soft crater]

glowsticks*

[cold quarry]

thats already gtfo

[ocean spindle]

glowies r better

[granite night]

noob here legit question wtf is the purpose of lock melters? I only played R1 btw

[cold quarry]

they're quiet

despite how they sound

so if lock is next to enemy, you go melty melt

[granite night]

yeah but are there instances that it actually helps you?

[ocean spindle]

they r also faster than hackin or hittin a lock, unless u have bat

[cold quarry]

yes

[dry pumice]

Melt lock without risking waking up nearby monsters

[cold quarry]

you will see

[dry pumice]

Also it's always faster to melt something than to hack it

[granite night]

again Im a R1D1 newbie

[ocean spindle]

its ok

[dry pumice]

You will learn to despise hacklocks eventually

[ocean spindle]

u will see their value

:3

[next socket]

So what happens if you ||open the other error alarm door in R5B1|| (R5B1 spoilers)

[ocean spindle]

[im sorry for bein annoyin but spoils]

[use the funk ||this||]

[minor fractal]

||It won't go away unless you start it before you get the HSU, lol.||

[next socket]

Nope, that's fair

[next socket]

Damn, so I can't do anything then

[odd cave]

got two questions, 1. about how long would it talk to complete all of the rundowns in one go? 2. is it possible to unlock missing rundowns? i have two blanks one on the map (i only log on once in a while to see whats new, rarely play a match)

[civic wave]

1. Quite a while, even if you're a great player
2. You can't unlock them, they release when the devs decide

[odd cave]

ok and ok, thank you

[minor fractal]

I mean, you could beat all content in like 50 hours.

But that assumes you one-shot everything.

[strange ocean]

out of curiosity question, is there any way to constantly avoid strikers' tounge attacks? Jumping behind them seems to do the trick most of the times but it becomes more of a problem when trying to kite a group of them

[civic wave]

moving to the side generally has the best chance of you avoiding the attack hitbox

[neon gust]

hold A or D

[strange ocean]

noted, thanks

[jade latch]

Hi just wanted to know if it is normal that enemys respawn if you clear other rooms a bit a way like 2 or 3 zones playing r5a3

[ocean spindle]

maybe, havent gotten to it but happens on a1 too and a2
if u look at the ceiling and see weird, fleshy coccons, the enemy of the area respawn

when ur two rooms away

[jade latch]

ok thx

[strange ocean]

It is, it's one of the enemies that make that happen
They can't damage you but you can clearly see them on some of the ceilings in the rooms sleepers respawn in

So yeah it's normal

[granite creek]

any news on whether or not GTFO will go on sale during Steam's summer sale?

[cold quarry]

19th

they talk about it on the r5 announcement on steam

[granite creek]

I was asking precisely because I don't have the time or awareness to watch that

thank you

[cold quarry]

np

[soft crater]

anybody know how much damage it takes to break a striker head?

[cold quarry]

i assumed it was random chance w/ bullets

i wanna say their head health is around 10 though maybe?

not sure

[jagged shore]

i'm p sure it's 10 yeah

[arctic marten]

yes it is 10

[vagrant hill]

Anyone here have any techniques for doing R1C1 solo? I've been stuck on it for a while now.

[cold quarry]

bots or people?

3 sentrys and bio or just 4 sentries good idea

[soft crater]

solo*

but yeah solo with bots or true solo

[vagrant hill]

With bots

[soft crater]

4 sentries

keep em stocked

[cold quarry]

bring a sniper yourself IMO

[soft crater]

instructions unclear. Bishop died

[cold quarry]

deserved. british

[soft crater]

he did try to blackmail the ceo

pog

[cold quarry]

honestly like that's just rude

deserves it

send his ass to r8f1

[next socket]

You can do what I did

Convince your friends that GTFO isn't hard and is actually very fun for one night

And then you can beat R1C1 🙂

Seriously though if you're /w bots only, idk what you can do outside of 4 sentries + sniper yourself landing every shot

Defend on bridge

Pre-move every resource as northwards as you can

That level suuucks for bots only

[livid stone]

Friends?

[devout bridge]

take bio on bot + 3 sentries (either burst or sniper)
try to not use sentries for the first few waves to conserve tool, shouldn't be too hard to defend wave 1/2 without sentries
don't put every sentry at the same exact spot to make sure they don't waste ammo on the same ennemy
if you're still short on tool you can swap toolkits with med/ammo to bring them closer to where you are defending for easier access
hold at the end of bridge
focus hybrids during the last waves
shoudln't be too hard even with bots

[fierce nebula]

skill issue

[next socket]

You called?

[hidden ridge]

Do not get up on the truck, or bots will be stuck trying to reach you to give you ammo/tool/health and they'll never shoot anything

[sour bronze]

Do you think the game has too many weapons in it now?

Rundown specific weapons were a good choice IMO, since they meant that while the loadout isnt that big, its still unique every time. Now we just have too many guns to the point where some become useless (SMG). While i support the return of old rundows, i think they should still make a weapon cycling system (e.g. every month the weapons are changed)

The only thing i dont want to go is the Hel Rifle. I love the hel rifle 🙂

[past star]

Let’s get rid of hel rifle

[sour bronze]

The hel rifle + chargers is the best combo ever in the history of all games

[past star]

Choke mod + mom

[sour bronze]

Closely followed by Hel Rifle + Long corriddor (Killing 8 enemies with each shot)

[sour bronze]

true

But seriously, we dont need so many guns

Assoult rifle, Burst Rifle, Rifle

[past star]

What they should probably do (but won’t) is make it so the weapons are back to rundown specific. Like you click on rundown 1 and only get to use what was offered in r1

[sour bronze]

Yea taht would make sense

But i dont think i have ever seen 10C listen to the community

Maybe 2 or 3 times

[past star]

I think they gave @neon gust his 1 damage increase on sawed off shotgun

So that’s hype

[sour bronze]

god damn

The thing i would want the most is a command for the bots "Pick this up"

cus sometimes they just refuse to pick up resources

and i play as a duo

so when the bots dont work its annoying

[hollow token]

how do you know which part of the map sleepers will come from in an alarm?

[distant citrus]

It's generally two rooms away from where you are

some alarms have specific spawn locations i believe

[dry pumice]

General rule of thumb - they try to spawn 2 rooms away from you.

You're in room 0.
Any room next to it is room 1.
Any room next to those rooms are rooms 2.
They can spawn in any one of rooms #2, based on RNG as far as I'm concerned.

There are a couple of exceptions to this rule, usually arbitrary ones. But they're rare so don't worry about it.

[hollow token]

aight thx

[neon gust]

that heavy smg needs to go to special tho

[past star]

[tardy ingot]

Which isnt possible btw

[tardy ingot]

All 3 of these are different tho?

1 full auto, 1 burst, 1 semi auto

[tardy ingot]

im so sad that it isnt :c

[sour bronze]

You know what i mean

Obv not 8

but like 4

The penetration just lets you hit a bunch at once, so its fun in long sections

[sour bronze]

We already have a bunch of each of those though

[fierce walrus]

i feel like the amount of weapons is not the problem, but the balancing

it would be fun if all weapons simply suported diffrent playstyles

[tardy ingot]

2 bursts
Carbine and burst rifle

Carbine is supposedly the more bursty shorter range option. But its overbuffed

Semi auto:
Very different dmg profile to basically everything but pistol here (and then its just a better pistol)

Full auto:
Which one is the same there?
They all have higher firerates

[fierce walrus]

while still being "good"

[tardy ingot]

^ some are overbuffed and others weakish

[fierce walrus]

yeah

[native sun]

I think the real case of gun over-overlap isn't in the ARs but in the SMGs. PDW, SMG and heavy SMG all do the same thing.

[sour bronze]

Smg is just useless

[neon gust]

nah i like smg

[sour bronze]

i think the main issue i have is the carbine

[neon gust]

slap a damage booster and you good

[sour bronze]

it makes like 10 weapons uselss in comparison

[neon gust]

whoever at 10cc love carabine a little too much

[sour bronze]

Its just objectively better than the smg and bullpup

i would be happy if they just straight up got rid of it

[neon gust]

since OG rundown 3 everybody who play the game said carabine was top tier

they kept buffing it

[dry pumice]

Its just bland to use

[sour bronze]

R8 will have 1 change and it will be a carbine buff

[dry pumice]

And I'm the burst enthisaist

[sour bronze]

i agree, but in some cases you just use it because it objectiveley better

[dry pumice]

But turns out I only like the three round bursts, everyone else is a degenerate and I'm not vibing

[sour bronze]

The heavy smg i like though

[neon gust]

tweaking

[sour bronze]

the sound is crazy

[neon gust]

your clinically insane

[sour bronze]

you're

[neon gust]

😭

[sour bronze]

whats wrong with the heavy smg?

its satisfying

and fun

[neon gust]

25 bullet

[sour bronze]

big bullets tho

[fierce walrus]

yeah heavy smg has kinda a small magazine

[neon gust]

pdw got more bullet

[sour bronze]

hence "heavy"

pdw is a nerf gun tho

[native sun]

(not big - PDW has more damage and 32 bullet)

[sour bronze]

reallly?

[dry pumice]

Alright let's be objective here

Give us damage values

[neon gust]

aim better

[sour bronze]

how much hdoes pdw do per shot?

[fierce walrus]

2 smth

[sour bronze]

how about heavy smg?

[fierce walrus]

might be 2.5

[native sun]

PDW damage per bullet = 2.31
heavy smg damage per bullet = 2.3

[neon gust]

2.3

[sour bronze]

wtf

[neon gust]

both do the same shit

[dry pumice]

Lmao

[neon gust]

like lmao

[dry pumice]

Much heavy

Very stronk

[neon gust]

my man on placebo

[fierce walrus]

except pdw has a bigger mag and a thermal scope

[sour bronze]

ok well i dont like the gun becasue its good, but because its cool

sounds cool

and is fun

[tardy ingot]

wow, now hel revo still dominates

The issue isnt getting rid of guns but balancing them better. Which has to be done in a way that they arent just copies

[fierce walrus]

exactly

we need balance

not purging the guns

[sour bronze]

Like buffing the carbine?

[fierce walrus]

no

buffing other things

[native sun]

Yeah, IMO heavy smg needs something to actually set it apart from the other SMGs, slap pierce on it or move it to special and crazy buff it

[sour bronze]

True

[fierce walrus]

we have heavy asualt rifle in secondary

yeet heavy smg there too

[tardy ingot]

And one of the most insane reload cancels + good hipfire

[sour bronze]

Heavy assouldt rifle also sounds great

i like the bassy thud

[fierce walrus]

despite being "hard to control"

[tardy ingot]

Special, please lol

[native sun]

I mean game does kinda lack full auto with pierce, it'd be an interesting niche

[neon gust]

gotta love how we all said pls buff damage to regular smg and the homeboys just buff the heavy smg instead

[native sun]

But yeah, imo not great to give it to a main

[neon gust]

we cant make this shit up lma

[tardy ingot]

and its still not good

[fierce walrus]

i feel sadly 10c will just nerf carbine to the ground

[neon gust]

or you know

[fierce walrus]

and that is not a good way of balancing it

[neon gust]

just talk to your community

[sour bronze]

good joke

[neon gust]

I got two gun balances in the game

they do listen

[sour bronze]

which ones?

sawed off?

[civic wave]

PR

[sour bronze]

did pr get nerfed?

[neon gust]

but i feel like the fact that they gotta space out the updates and stuff force to do things like this

lol what

no

[fierce walrus]

pr had any changes?

[neon gust]

pr my favorite gun

[sour bronze]

ah

[neon gust]

12 to 8 bullets

[fierce walrus]

oh

[sour bronze]

PR needs a nerf though

[tardy ingot]

[neon gust]

Hell nah

[fierce walrus]

but yeah i feel like they should nerf carbine a bit and buff most other mains

[tardy ingot]

btw id love for Carbine to get another ammo nerf

[fierce walrus]

oh right

it got one for...

[tardy ingot]

make it strong but low on refill ammo

similar to what they try with dmr

[fierce walrus]

altR4?

[tardy ingot]

yea

[fierce walrus]

honestly how much did they even reduce it by?

[tardy ingot]

i think less than one mag total

less than 1 kill per refill less

[fierce walrus]

wow

such a big nerf

carbine is unusable now

[neon gust]

24 less bullet afaik

[tardy ingot]

yea but why should it be?

[fierce walrus]

it should not be

[tardy ingot]

wasnt it like 6 per refill, so like 32?

[fierce walrus]

they should buff the rest of mains

[tardy ingot]

slightly nerf carbine and hel revo. Buff the weaker ones

Then check to rebalance

[fierce walrus]

i feel like carbine should be similiar to double tap rifle

[dry pumice]

Buff Bullpup to 60 bullets and ill be happy

[neon gust]

increase its pres

[fierce walrus]

good burst gun, but you have to be careful with ammo

also

they have to update bots

like

pls

[tardy ingot]

double tap 7 „bullets“ per mag thats low

[fierce walrus]

yeah i know

[neon gust]

not gonna happend till r8

[fierce walrus]

but idea wise

[fierce walrus]

god

i just want more commands for bots

and i would be happy

[neon gust]

bots during testing where way better for 2 people 2 bots setup

[fierce walrus]

like simple ones such as "stay here" or "use only melee"

[neon gust]

hell no

[fierce walrus]

im not even gonna talk about "pick resources up/don't pick resources up"

[neon gust]

use only gun

[fierce walrus]

like

the list could go on for a while

[neon gust]

trust me having bots melee something its mighty stupid

they dont even do 20 damage on melee

[fierce walrus]

i mean during stealth

[neon gust]

they do 16

[fierce walrus]

so they don't shoot shit when it wakes up

instead melee it

with you

this way bots could help with giants

[strange ocean]

they don't do that already?

[fierce walrus]

sometimes

[strange ocean]

well they do shoot sometimes

[fierce walrus]

most of the time they waste ammo

[strange ocean]

but most of the times they do use melee

[neon gust]

you gotta wait for them to be in range

[fierce walrus]

w a i t

[neon gust]

get close to giant and then wait for the bot to get closer

[fierce walrus]

as if they already did not make the game last longer

[neon gust]

thats literally how you do it

[strange ocean]

that's the beauty of playing with bots unfortunatly

[fierce walrus]

sadly

but things like "stay here" would be great for reactor levels

[sour bronze]

the best command would be "pick this up"

[strange ocean]

the main thing that would be nice is resource commands

[fierce walrus]

or don't pick it up

[strange ocean]

yeah

[sour bronze]

i cant count how many times ive been screaming at a bot to just grab a fucking medipack

and it just stares at it

[strange ocean]

or to swap resources

[fierce walrus]

i would also love a command:

go behind me

or go infront of me

[neon gust]

they just make sure no resource go unwasted

[sour bronze]

and get shot

[fierce walrus]

so i can close fuckin door while running

[sour bronze]

im good

[strange ocean]

oh you don't want that

[neon gust]

but if your trying to save a resource then its bad

[fierce walrus]

when the enemies are behind me

then i want the bots to be there too

[strange ocean]

in that case yeah

[sour bronze]

by not picking up a 5 use medpack while holding no other resource?

[strange ocean]

but with enemies in front of you it's a deathwish to have bots behind you

[fierce walrus]

yeah bot picking resources is odd

[strange ocean]

it is

[fierce walrus]

sometimes they grab something without waiting

other times they do everything to not pick it up

and of course

[neon gust]

thats a bug

[sour bronze]

well its a bug that happens on about 50% of the medipacks i find then

[fierce walrus]

picking things like cells from shelves

if it's not on the ground

they will just look at it

[strange ocean]

idk sometimes pick up the objective item works and sometimes doesn't

[sour bronze]

also during an error alrm they cant pick up objective items like cells

[strange ocean]

that also

[fierce walrus]

rigth casue in combat they just shoot

unless they wanna melee the hord

then they die

[sour bronze]

which means that in r2E1 wheere you have to carry 2 and sometimes 3 things at the end, you need to rely on a bot to do the shooting. That wasn't fun.

[strange ocean]

on error alarm levels it's

better to have at least one more person to play with

[fierce walrus]

or make it so they actually go through doors when they are supossed to!

[strange ocean]

about doors

[sour bronze]

Yea i played the whole game as 2 player 2 bot

[fierce walrus]

and not just stay on the other side

[sour bronze]

and it was all good

we didnt steruggle too much

expect for some e-tiers

[strange ocean]

whenever trying to prep a room

[fierce walrus]

i hate bots

[strange ocean]

when I go to the door to close it

bots for some reason just

go into the closing door and phase through it

[sour bronze]

yup

[fierce walrus]

on R5A3 i lost a run casue bishop got stuck behind a door

and did not get in the scan

(scans are a whole diffrent thing with bots too)

[sour bronze]

you can kick bots, which is what we did whenever they got downed

[strange ocean]

oof

[sour bronze]

and then added them back after teh alarm

[fierce walrus]

i prefer shooting bots when they go down

[sour bronze]

they already dead how are you gunna kill them more?

[fierce walrus]

they deserve it

[sour bronze]

fair

[fierce walrus]

bot sacrifices for good clothing

i got a cool mask like that

speaking of bots

am i the only person who chooses hackett to have bio simply cause he has best bio voicelines?

[strange ocean]

he does

but at some point I started switching them

cause I was going insane with bishop

[fierce walrus]

i checked all of them

hackett has best

bishop has bad voicelines, dauda has annoying ones

hackett is simply the best

[strange ocean]

gotta love hackett

[fierce walrus]

he can walk through a door to get back to you

exactly

[strange ocean]

is there anything you get in case of cosmetics for doing secondary/overload/PE on levels?

cause I've seen on rundown 7 before the first alt update that there were cosmetics only unlockable by completing certain amounts of secondary objectives and now it's just gone

[ashen frigate]

It was mostly the case during R6, because the Cosmetics were a new addition to the game

Namely the palettes for completing all Secondary or all Overload objectives

Now you get a reward for the first Main sector completion, for each expedition

[strange ocean]

alrighty thank you

[ocean spindle]

does a scout scream automatically wakens up the enemies in the room

i would guess yes

tbh i dont know cause i panic

[minor fractal]

Yes.

[ocean spindle]

oki :]

[low mortar]

Has anyone found out where the first snatchers show up in r5 yet (assuming there are any due to the cover art of the trailer having a snatcher on it)

[strange ocean]

they are in ||A2 secondary objective, only one though||

idk if its much of a spoiler but I'll cover it anyway

[ocean spindle]

it is

thanks :3

[low mortar]

||how about the first one in a main sector because I don’t trust my squad with secondary objectives lmao||

[minor fractal]

||B4||

[ocean spindle]

this is so funny i cant unspoil any of these but its funny seein just long black lines

[low mortar]

Soon you will understand my friend

[low mortar]

Thank you

[low mortar]

Thank you as well

[hidden ridge]

I'll never get why people liked R5B4 so much btw

[dry pumice]

Depending on who you ask

Most veterans around here are just masochists

[hidden ridge]

I dont find it hard I find it perplexing

[fierce walrus]

B4 is a masochist level?

[dry pumice]

Ain't a good level if you don't fight 30 chargers in fog at 99% infection

[past mesa]

It is the pre cursor to r6c3

[hidden ridge]

||Go there, pick res, mine door, wait for timer. Rinse repeat with a single alarm somewhere around the end||

[hidden ridge]

And I can get liking R6C3

[past mesa]

Yeah there is things that happen

Unlike the other

[hidden ridge]

But B4 could have trimmed the timer a bit, I did it a bit ago and we had to wait at the second door for the timer

[past mesa]

All of r4 and 5 could have trimmed levels to make them more attractive in a post r6 world

[neon gust]

Everybody hates r5b4

[past mesa]

@upper ginkgo don’t let him shit talk your baby

[dry pumice]

Hm, maybe I'll like it... Well see eventually.

[upper ginkgo]

r5b4 crashed so r6c3 could fly

[patent ibex]

List of new cosmetics for alt R5???

[fierce walrus]

i think its one item

[icy cave]

You'll like R5. it is completely up your alley

[dry pumice]

Somehow I really doubt it, but we'll see

I heard sawed off got cuter and my HCP needs a good close range buddy for when it's out of ammo

Big iron plus big iron sounds like an exceptionally fun loadout

Now if only you could dual wield them

that's a joke, I hate dual wielding

[languid glacier]

anybody know what u should bring for R5A2 PE?

[next socket]

One person bring sniper for bigs

The uhh

Over penetrating rounds gun is good too

[ocean spindle]

u dont really need a sniper there arent that many

but its useful

[next socket]

Erm, I might be mistaken actually

R5A2 has the ||reactor 7 stages||, right?

[ocean spindle]

what

nope

[next socket]

Haha no that's R5B1

Brain go reverse

[languid glacier]

appreciate the censor king

what about cfoam/mines?

[ocean spindle]

tools? i think two sentries mines bio could b good

cause main does not use foam at all

but overload can use foam

so it kinda depends on u

[next socket]

Are there stages where bio track isn't useful?

[ocean spindle]

no

[next socket]

I feel like bio is a must take

[past mesa]

no it is just overpowered

[next socket]

S+ tier

[past mesa]

bio too good

[ocean spindle]

biogod

[craggy pier]

hey, i don't have this game but looking at picking it up on the sale on the 19th. do you recommend it in its current state? i saw the playerbase has dropped massively on steam charts

[next socket]

Give it to a bot so it can cheat with it, too 😈

[next socket]

All games drop over time

Current state is good

[ocean spindle]

this game on this discord its still pretty nice

not hard to find new people

[next socket]

It's PvE though, I don't see how it could get bad

[ocean spindle]

from what ive seen

[next socket]

(famous last words)

[languid glacier]

am i gonna need thermals for A2 as well?

[civic wave]

You can still find groups here and there, should be enough life to justify buying it

[ocean spindle]

i mean
that just depends on ur taste

generally i wouldnt say so

[languid glacier]

cool

[next socket]

You can also do what I do and be active on the discord but never matchmake lmao

[ocean spindle]

pr on this lvl wouldnt b abysmal but for extreme and ov it would b useless

[next socket]

I would say no thermals necessary for A2

[civic wave]

I'd suggest against thinking that you can be necessitated to take thermals, but they can be convenient in some levels

[civic wave]

Me too buddy, me too

[next socket]

For shadow sleepers, thermals are amazing

[ocean spindle]

but u dont need em bio does good

[next socket]

If you ain't holding bio tho

[ocean spindle]

well the person pings

[craggy pier]

okay thanks!

[ocean spindle]

is not hard

[next socket]

It doesn't ping sleepers tho does it?

[ocean spindle]

ah normal sleepers
then communicate idk

:3

[next socket]

"use your words idiot"

My friends were always so bad at comms it was exhausting

[next socket]

Tbh look at the activity right now, not even the afternoon and rooms are plenty full

[ocean spindle]

well thats skill issue

[next socket]

Surprisingly it wasn't even my skill issue that time

My comms are amazing unless I have drugs in me

[ocean spindle]

i never said urs

i sais its skill issue

[next socket]

No I know

It's just that I always say how much of a skill issue I have

But comms ain't one of them

I hate bad comms so much

[sterile citrus]

How's everyone feel about these "new" weapons. Their new to me never go to play pre alts. The Sawed off shotgun seems really decent. Torn on the others 2 though

[cold quarry]

heavy SMG feels real bad

Reload looks funny

[ocean spindle]

its not bad tho

its fine, pretty ok

double tap feels very nice and it seems like it is nice

[soft crater]

Sawed off got damage buffed to 30.4 damage (assuming all pellets connect)

[sterile citrus]

Ya the sawed off can 2 taps giants that makes me so happy

Its a giant shredder .

[soft crater]

It is a main weapon that can kill charger scouts

[ocean spindle]

the dmg of a special shotgun

on that

hilarious

also a lot of weapons could i think KSMDKM

pistol rifle bullpup i think hel shottie too

ah

[soft crater]

Eh

[ocean spindle]

wait i read wrong

those idk

:3

i thought normal scouts

[soft crater]

They aren't limited like sawed off

Neither are they shotguns

[minor fractal]

It is, tho.

Auto Mains are already not amazing in general, and HSMG has terrible stats next to all of them.

[ocean spindle]

is it worse than smg

[minor fractal]

Easily.

At least SMG has reload and mag.

HSMG is eugh.

[ocean spindle]

hsmg has one milisecond more of reload w whu

maybs im just blind cause i dont think the smg is the weakest weapon ever made as most people think

but it doesnt seem that bad

[soft crater]

it's more reload animation. I hadn't checked if it can be reload cancelled though

[soft crater]

even then it's hard to find someone who genuinely runs SMG

[ocean spindle]

think its the same anim but tbh i could b wrong

[soft crater]

you mean you don't see HSMG's Magneto reload

[minor fractal]

I like it tbh, I'm just too sweaty most of the time.

Also its light

is a big downer.

I play it w/ Veruta sometimes.

[ocean spindle]

yes but isnt it cause it has a different body

[soft crater]

I like it's aesthetic and etc.

just It feels lacking

[ocean spindle]

u wouldnt like to see the amounts of times ive gone 'hm hel revo or smg, nah, smg'

[minor fractal]

It's weak, for sure.

But HSMG is weaker.

[soft crater]

only in mag size imo

[dry pumice]

did they changed something about physics or movement logistics

the game doesn't handles as usual

its... smoother

something's off

[ocean spindle]

i actually seen it a bit more laggy but ove been play with other people too much so

thats probs it

[dry pumice]

hm

maybe i am just not used to stable 100+ FPS

[ocean spindle]

funny cause ive seen that tile runs very bad compared to others

but ive only heard of it

[cold quarry]

somehow, yes

[craggy pier]

How good Is the double tap rifle

[cold quarry]

really demands good accuracy

[craggy pier]

Good I'm takin it

Tried to kill a scout to the back of the head somehow didn't die or my math was sadge

[ocean spindle]

i mean both bullets would need occi i think

[craggy pier]

Did just that and head didn't explode

[ocean spindle]

it cant be that it reacts before the second bullet

thres no way

maybe one was slightly low and hit back?

[craggy pier]

Its possible I just skill issued

Recoil between shots is non-existent

[soft crater]

it's fast enough

[craggy pier]

People can blast a charger scout with revolver or choke so don't think so

[soft crater]

DMR/Hel revo can 2 shot scouts

HAR can too

same with carbine and burst rifle

[ocean spindle]

yes so what i said theres no way :3

ok then

i guess it was one back

i guess

[soft crater]

🙂

[ocean spindle]

i guess maybe

i guess

[soft crater]

Azert

did you shoot it in the front?

[ocean spindle]

they said occi

[craggy pier]

Back of the head

[soft crater]

either a miss

or one shot hit the back yeah

if my math is right. is one hits the back it's some decimals above 40

40.774

[craggy pier]

I probably did, was only r5b1 so no biggie

Good to know u can 2 tap

[soft crater]

puts sawed off muzzle pointed to the scouts ankle from behind

omae wa mou shindeiru

[next socket]

One of my friends just started playing and he's addicted

What advice would you give to new players?

No spoiler or hand holding type tips, just general stuff

[ocean spindle]

learn stealth as much as possible
try every gun out so u know what u like and dislike

and

never get carried

[strange ocean]

yeh you either work together or die together

no inbetweens

[next socket]

Mfing game motto

Bro can read

He ain't that dumb

[next socket]

I told him to start with some guns that are good pretty much everywhere

[strange ocean]

just sayin' bro should take that motto seriously

[ocean spindle]

,hh i wouldnt ksdmkm
newies r very used to like clingin to guns

so if u told em some

they only gonna use em probably

[next socket]

Heh , yeah

[ocean spindle]

das no bueno

:3

[next socket]

He also started by going loud on every room tho

somehow he best r2a1 doing nothing but loud before I told him to do stealth

I suppose the bots made it easy

[ocean spindle]

was he

solo?

[next socket]

With bots, yeah

[ocean spindle]

i dont

believe that

how many hours

cause u said they a newie

'they just started playin'

u need like, 120 hours

to get to e1

well i

exaggerated

but u get it

[jagged shore]

where did e come from

[ocean spindle]

...

ohhh

i am an idiot

thats right

i forget how much stupid i am :3

i misread

ok

then yeah bots carry

[soft crater]

E

[next socket]

I was gonna say- it's not that much of an accomplishment, just impressive for a first timer

Does anyone know how / / cosmetic rewards work?

[verbal zinc]

you only have to complete main sectors to get cosmetics

it says in the prisoner apparel requisition ingame

[past mesa]

If I complete pe can I get another cool reskin of hackets wet works

[cold quarry]

secondary objectives are completely irrelevant

sadly

[verbal zinc]

no but hackett will stretch out of your monitor and give you a warm handshake

(he might laugh at you too)

its rng

[next socket]

Is that only true for R5? I swear there were other rundowns where secondaries gave you random drops

[cold quarry]

it was a thing back in original R6

they ditched it on r7

[next socket]

hmm

Maybe

cringe

What's the point then

[cold quarry]

it is cringe

[next socket]

Internet points?

[cold quarry]

to say you did it

[next socket]

A sense of pride?

No mfer give me new colors

[cold quarry]

and some secondaries can make life easier

[sturdy glen]

entertainment

playing the game

idk

[next socket]

😠

[verbal zinc]

it is to play the game on a higher difficulty

[next socket]

gib colors and jackets

I want swag

[verbal zinc]

it sounds crazy

but thats why

[cold quarry]

def think PE'ing an entire rundown should have some kind of unlock at least but doubt they'll ever bring it back

[mossy aurora]

You can put it in your discord profile

"I cleared alt R5 without boosters. Have you?"

[cold quarry]

i love boosters i love putting worms in my brain

[next socket]

Ok so in R5B1, does opening ||both error alarm doors trigger double the amount of charger giants||?

And does finding the ||hsu still disable both error alarms?||

[neon gust]

You only have one error

Hsu deactivates the error alarm

[amber moth]

Couple quick questions. Thinking of getting the game but wondering how easy it is to find groups to play with? Also if I do feel like playing solo is that doable in this game?

[neon gust]

If you use discord pretty easy to find people

Solo not possible

For new players atleast

Game its design for 4 player experience

We have bots but theyre just filler for when you missing one or two people

Also game its way better with people

If you get a friend you can beat 100% of all the games content with bots

[past mesa]

It is

[neon gust]

Do not rely on ingame matchmaking since its broken and didnt leave the alpha stage since 2020

[neon gust]

I remember having more fun playing with you than the game itself

[past mesa]

Thank you how have you enjoyed r5 friend

[amber moth]

also I guess one more question I checked online and seems like i can run it no problems but you guys would know better with a 1070 would I be fine running this???

[past mesa]

Tbh finished r5d1

[neon gust]

6/10

[past mesa]

and holy shit it was so borning

[sturdy glen]

thats what I play with

[neon gust]

I use to have a 1070 and a i7 6700 regular

Runs good on that

[amber moth]

ok perfect thank you

[sturdy glen]

ngl most of main was pretty ok

[past mesa]

Have to dor5e1 soon can’t wait

[neon gust]

Its legit just r1d1 but with a extreme

[past mesa]

The side zone adventure was fun

[neon gust]

Its basically the same

[past mesa]

I didn’t ever play it

[sturdy glen]

they shouldve just not put secondary on d1

[past mesa]

Didn’t make it that far didn’t find a team to go back and do it

[neon gust]

You can still do the funny

And cell skip for what i could tell

[past mesa]

Yeah I can’t wait for those runs

[neon gust]

Legit just crouch walk to the s1

Its like 7 min

[past mesa]

We did

[sturdy glen]

it couldve been 0 minutes

[past mesa]

But I don’t like crouch walk drago

[neon gust]

Or less depending on shitty rng enemy placement

[sturdy glen]

we expended all our hard stealth before getting there

[past mesa]

Is the first respawn rooms wasnt a respawn room

I would have had more fun

[neon gust]

Then that respawn zone would be useless then

But its alright d1 wasnt nobodys favorite back then too

I just learned to love it

[past mesa]

Pdw

Makes it better

I cheese shadow stealth

[past mesa]

I am just annoyed cause we cleared it 3 times

2 back to back cause ray needed his fucking 5 use ammo

[neon gust]

Bruh

I blame ray then

[bright patio]

anyone got loadout strats for wave defence missions w 3 bots? Bots alwas eventually screw up and go in for melee when they still have ammo lmao

[cold quarry]

reactors i'd bring a sniper and give the bots all automatics/machineguns

they can't handle precision / high damage weapons

[native sun]

AR + an MG is the best loadout for bots, bring lots of sentries, and just try to kill the enemies before they get close to the bots

If the enemies get close they'll start going for melee no matter what /shrug

[bright patio]

cheers for the tips guys

[past mesa]

He had the turbine

I didn’t have a choice I had to follow

[honest lion]

What are some guns for R5B1 Overload? I got fked by the wave with giant charger

[neon gust]

Hel rifle, sniper, helgun, any machine gun

[honest lion]

gotcha

[lone mortar]

Machine gun

3 man on the left side

You sitting at the crate pumping mags into the hybirds

The reactor has less meds so rather dying is a good choice

Am I talking about B2 rn

I may have some memory loss

[honest lion]

B1 overload

[lone mortar]

I remember main was opening the hisec cargo right?

Or HSU dna collection?

[neon gust]

Main its hsu extreme its cell cluster and overload r1c1 reactor style

[midnight tulip]

Did Alt Rundown 5 come with new apparels?

[mossy aurora]

Yes

[upper ginkgo]

"new"

[cold quarry]

vaguely

[mossy aurora]

When you copy your friends homework and they tell you not to copy it exactly type of new....

[fierce nebula]

[neon gust]

1 new mask 2 new colors

The rest are just reskins

[devout nimbus]

is hvy smg good

[winged turtle]

i hear its doo doo, just worse SMG

[fierce walrus]

it feels nice to shoot

that’s all

[fierce nebula]

none of the weapons truly suck

just you

[valid plank]

how to open overload in R5A2?

i cant find the bulkhead key

terminal say nothing also

[strange ocean]

||pick up the main objective item and it opens|| (R5A2 spoilers)

[lone mortar]

Bad

[valid plank]

thanks

[strange ocean]

np

[shadow hawk]

do mines get crit multiplier damage?

e.g snatcher belly taking 150 damager per mine minstead of 50

[fierce walrus]

i doubt it

you would have to be extremely precise to hit it

[distant citrus]

but do the mines have crit dmg?

[fierce walrus]

probably

[strange ocean]

there isn't much said about them having it but neither about them not having it so

they might

[sleek mist]

are there any boosters that allow you to move more quietly so you can execute sleepers faster

[fierce walrus]

i do not believe so

[sleek mist]

idk if maybe the trick is simple finesse but i hate wasting time slowly dispatching sleepers

[fierce walrus]

just walk to them

[sleek mist]

some ppl do it very quickly

if i do that, they pulse

[fierce walrus]

or run if you are sure you can handle it

[fierce walrus]

its simple

you walk

stop when they pulse

go again

or just run in a room

and murder

your choice

[sleek mist]

i see

[strange ocean]

if you start walking towards a sleeper when they are not moving yet you can charge up a full swing/jab/stab and kill them before they even start pulsating

[tranquil arch]

to my knowledge mines are just 50 flat damage

[sleek mist]

my one regret is no stomp option in this game

[strange ocean]

could be too loud I guess

[tranquil arch]

stomp and mask wipe

[sleek mist]

i mean so is hitting giants but ppl still do it

[tranquil arch]

especially since mask blood glitch exists with liquids

[sleek mist]

https://i.gyazo.com/406e6bd897570105c5226e39bf77a4e3.gif

[strange ocean]

don't ask me how literally hammering a giant that screams right after is stealthier than walking near sleepers

[strange ocean]

it's a glitch?

[tranquil arch]

there is a glitch where it becomes a permanent black spot in your vision

and never goes away

[strange ocean]

I've had it happen a couple of times and I was convinced this was like my character just going mentally unstable and have halucinations or something

the bigest one so far was starting with a yellow color and then my whole screen was black

had to wait like 3 minutes before it was back to normal

[tranquil arch]

yeah, that isn't meant to happen

xD

[strange ocean]

wELL good to know XD

glad it didn't happen to me on an alarm

yet

[solemn nacelle]

what are the weapons that will one tap headshot scouts? anyone know?

i know sniper turret does it and a few special weapons

[strange ocean]

sniper, hel rifle, shotguns (assuming all pelets will hit), high caliber pistol aaand

I don't remember the rest

[craggy pier]

exluding combat shotgun and hel shotgun

[strange ocean]

yeah

and with headshots ofc

can dmr still kill scouts tho?

with one shot to the occiput and the second to the back?

[craggy pier]

2 tap yes

[strange ocean]

yea

[craggy pier]

both occiput

[strange ocean]

oh both

good to know then

[solemn nacelle]

im guessing occiput is head?

[strange ocean]

back of the head

[solemn nacelle]

oh the back? i didnt know there was different parts

[strange ocean]

so you get dmg multiplier for the head and for the back

[solemn nacelle]

interesting

[craggy pier]

yeah

also hel gun to the occiput 1 taps

[solemn nacelle]

nice

how am i supposed to pronounce occiput

[strange ocean]

if you'll want to try to pick up a melee weapon to learn killing scouts without shooting I suggest starting with spear

[solemn nacelle]

hehe spear is my main melee

[strange ocean]

good for you then 😌

[strange ocean]

no idea how to write the pronounciation down

o c put

I guess lmao

[civic wave]

Oxy I think

Or you can say okki, noone cares

[craggy pier]

💯

[strange ocean]

or just back of the head

[craggy pier]

like an absolute nerd

[ocean spindle]

o as in horse
cci as in me-XI-co
put as in... put

i think thats how?

[solemn nacelle]

thanks guys

i was thinking oxy put

[ocean spindle]

oxaiput :D

[raven cliff]

do krieger mines instantly down me if an enemy sets it off while i am close to the mine?

[fierce walrus]

yes

[dry pumice]

Absolutely

I don't think it's possible to survive a mine.

[ocean spindle]

i think i once did
idk how
but i got like 80% of my health gone

and it wasnt friendly fire cause i was 3 bots with automatics

[fierce walrus]

you sure you did not get hit by an enemy?

i mean

80 health is a friendly sniper shot

[ocean spindle]

it was a class II alarm on an early lvl ksdmk

[fierce walrus]

or 2 giant hits

[ocean spindle]

and again bots didnt had snipers

they had machineguns

[fierce walrus]

also

bots don't friendly fire the person they are following

so i dunno

[craggy pier]

why would this be a thing

[ocean spindle]

as in the context of what i was telling: to show it wasnt team dmg
as in general context: idk why would put nsipers on a bot either

[civic wave]

Yes, you can survive mine explosions

If you're in the right place

They knock off a bunch of health but

[next socket]

Why is R5B1 so fricking stupid and idiot

I HATE

I brought a sniper rifle to kill bigs

[ocean spindle]

:D

[next socket]

And then used the sniper rifle to riddle the wall with holes

Skill issue

Unironically though that fucking bridge is so damn foggy I can't see anything

Anyway what am I doing wrong am I just that bad at the game I can't beat a b level overload

It's the last dang wave

[fierce walrus]

well

R5 is hard

[woeful kiln]

well

[fierce walrus]

that is a fact

so you are not necesarily bad at the game

[woeful kiln]

you're not bad

just not good enough

[twin hamlet]

If you're missing 100% of sniper shots I beg to differ

[fierce walrus]

wait

bigs are not hard to hit

you can no scope them easily

how did you miss all shots

[woeful kiln]

if you can't do well with sniper there are other guns

[ocean spindle]

burst cannon i would guess its a very noice gun for that mission

[novel sand]

Did the recent updates make enemies easier to trigger? Me and my group had a hella hard time last night trying to set up some spear kills

It was also like aggro distance from a stealth spear kill was increased too.

[upper ginkgo]

it's in your head

[fierce walrus]

its long range detection

[novel sand]

We've just never had runs like this before it didn't make any sense

[fierce walrus]

if an enemy is pusling/glowing and you kill another enemy which has light of sight with the pulsing enemy

they might wake up

[novel sand]

We synced them, it didn't make any sense. If i have video to share it'd make you guys yell WTF

[woeful kiln]

every day gtfo enemies have a chance of being quirky

not a big surprise

[ocean spindle]

i already tell wtf every day >:]

but u can share it gtfo media if u wants

[novel sand]

If i had video i would. Next time i will

[fierce walrus]

btw spears are not best melee in the game

they are kinda the worst one right now

[novel sand]

Why what changed

We love the distance

[ocean spindle]

nothi changed

it just never kinda was

[novel sand]

Odd, in our experience it's awesome

[ocean spindle]

u cant run with it, it has a bit less base dmg [so u need headshots, then it becomes a lil bit more dmg but still not worth]

and has i think a same charge as hammer, if not a lil slower

[fierce walrus]

overall spear has better alternatives

[novel sand]

But killing the bigs and feeler guys is easier

[fierce walrus]

becasue the spear is basically only good at killing big boys

everything else is worse

[ocean spindle]

it is a great weapon for learnin, or even if a level is only and exclusively stealth

[novel sand]

Spear can hs on big pulse

[ocean spindle]

whats hs im sorry?

[fierce walrus]

headshot

[novel sand]

Headshot

[ocean spindle]

ah

[fierce walrus]

but like

hammer is also great

and bat

[ocean spindle]

wdym on big pulse

[fierce walrus]

hammer can kill everything

[ocean spindle]

like, as the big is throbbin?

[fierce walrus]

bat just staggers all

and kills at the same time

[novel sand]

We've been doing 3-man takedowns with the spear on the big guys. Head tilts back, one spears head, 2 spear back.

[ocean spindle]

that also works with hammer

3 hammers to the back, 1 occi two back or two occi hits

[fierce walrus]

and bat can easily solo

[novel sand]

But you get increased distance with the spear

[woeful kiln]

but you don't need the increased range

[fierce walrus]

true, but the distance becomes very much useless

once you get used to things

[minor fractal]

Doesn't matter if you're competent.

[ocean spindle]

if the big one is asleep u dont really need to get close nor far, just in hit distance

i mean

i worded it wrong

hold on

think thats better

also spear wastes stamina shovin, somethin that the other 3 dont, and when u wake up a room, killin enemies with the melee is harder

since u cant run to evade hits

[novel sand]

Spear hits head though, you know they're tall right?

[ocean spindle]

u can stand up

[novel sand]

That's the whole point

Stand up increasing trigger duration slightly

[ocean spindle]

u get close to a big one, stand up, not move, and nothin happens

and then u can hit occi

[fierce walrus]

to be fair

it does not matter if they are pulsing

[ocean spindle]

also, trigger duration, i dont think so
it just makes it so when u walk it glows

[fierce walrus]

you can walk up to a giant and just hit it

nothing will change

[minor fractal]

You can also just stay crouched and not hit head.

You 3-shot w/ perfect back multi on hammer, and it's not very hard to hit trade for more damage.

You can also pre-stand.

[novel sand]

Your suggestions make 0 sense. So hammer a body for less damage, don't care about triggering them with your movement?

[fierce walrus]

basically
