Guys this is a real life question. In R5D1 Extreme, ||when you have to do the cell hunt and go to 508, can the tank spawn in the first room (A)?||
If it can, then gg imma go kms.

dusky tiger

#

What do you think are the most efficient single fire primary 's?

ocean spindle
#

single fire? semi automatic?

rose stump
#

Semi auto

#

Sorry

ocean spindle
#

it oke
hel revo, if u can like line up enemies n such cause it has penetration
dmr with any dmg booster cause it oneshots any smol enemy so its 89 kills for its full ammo
maybe pistol, cause two shots strikers, but idk shooters, tho not more than dmr with booster...

#

those r the more efficient i think

#

sawed off has too many lil bullets u would need to kill 2 enemies with a single shot every time, rifle has a lil less total dmg, and double tab shoots in bursts so

#

but it is not really, as important any of this, in exchange if u feel ok with ur gun

#

cause i cant use hel revo for the life of me but i love a pistol

#

so i always pick the pistol cause i aim bette with it n such

rose stump
#

Thanks I really liked the pistol, but the range I'm not a fan of. I've been using choke shotty secondary, but I suppose I could switch it. I'm just not a full auto guy. I like power shots. But still need close range WTF moment weapon.

ocean spindle
#

yeah pistol is kinda mid range but i like it, oneshot body, stagger, headshot n its ded and i cant do that from fay away ksmdkm
but if u wants range double tap, dmr n rifle all have nice range, hel revo is more so medium but it still works good enough

#

sawed off range is abysmal but its a very fun weapon for closequarters ksmdkm

silver fable
rose stump
#

I'll try them out more , thank you!

silver fable
#

undisputed best semi main

#

good without pen, and has pen

rose stump
#

What tou say is a good pair with it?

silver fable
#

anything

ocean spindle
#

i just dont like it

#

:]

#

a good par for hel revo
anythin yeah kinda
i guess i would go for somethin if im overwhelmed, but hel revos reload is kinda very fast if u cancel it, so its not necessary

silver fable
ocean spindle
#

tho i guess i would go for somethin with more mag size

silver fable
#

but usually you'll pick your special in order to fulfil a role in the team, and there is no special with which pairing hel revo could be regarded as a mistake

silver fable
#

but he recognizes how strong it is in an objective sense

hardy grotto
#

how can you not be a fan :(

#

it’s so fun

ocean spindle
#

i dont like

silver fable
#

ya I don't get it either

ocean spindle
#

its weird and i dont like sight a lot, i guess its just feel

#

the recoild the firerate it all comes together so i miss every bullet and i dont enjoy missin every bullet

hardy grotto
#

pull down

#

the recoil isn’t too bad tbh

ocean spindle
#

also havin to reload cancel every reload cause otherwise is slow as fuck kinda just, i man i do it with every gun but, with that one i overthink it

#

idk why

#

i guess cause its vital

#

for it

hardy grotto
#

you get used to it

ocean spindle
#

maybe

#

but i dont use it enough

#

to get used to it

silver fable
ocean spindle
#

i usually go for automatics, not for semis always

#

and when i pick semis they r the ones i like

#

dmr double tab sawed

hardy grotto
#

dmr sight is the worst

ocean spindle
#

skill issue

#

its not bad

#

see

hardy grotto
#

it’s horrible

ocean spindle
#

we both can say it KMSKDMK

#

its not bad i think its just a bad yellowish n thats it

#

but i do like double tabs sight more

#

even if its tiny

silver fable
#

I used to like dmr more, but it's kind of a chore going into ads and back with that gun for me now

#

whereas hel revo ads is very nimble

hardy grotto
#

only rundown I used dmr was og r5

ocean spindle
#

idk hel revo makes me miss the pistol sight

#

and i never hip fire

silver fable
#

I basically never hipfire hel revo

hardy grotto
#

people who hipfire are creatures

#

@past mesa

silver fable
#

it's just too easy to slip into ads with hel revo

stuck elm
#

I hipfire if they're in range.

silver fable
#

no reason to allow hip spread to place your bullet off target when ads is basically free

past mesa
#

like

#

i can hip fire sniper

ocean spindle
#

'nuhnuh hipfire pdw is so good i swear' yes but why no fuck u im aim down sights

#

otherwise it feels w r o n g

hardy grotto
#

pdw hipfire is actually ok close range

#

But idk that gun is so confusing

ocean spindle
#

no yeah its good but

#

it fuckin sucks MKMKDSMK

hardy grotto
#

only guns I rlly hipfire are shotguns

silver fable
#

hipfire was the secret to unlocking veruta for me

#

I had so much skill issue with veruta until I realized you could hipfire it

#

like, even my ads with veruta got way better

ocean spindle
#

i cant with any i need to aim down sights ksmdkm
i guess..... hel shottie? but only very few times

silver fable
#

sadly I've forgotten how to hipfire shotguns due to sway bug

sturdy glen
#

slide if youre sprinting

silver fable
#

if you can't quickswap into a shot without ads, then what's the point of hipfiring it?

sturdy glen
#

otherwise quickscope or just dont pull it out quickly

ocean spindle
#

sway bug is the reload cancel animation swappin gun... bug

#

right

silver fable
#

it's not restricted to cancels

#

it's anytime you swap to the gun

ocean spindle
#

a funny
i only felt it on reloads

silver fable
#

basically the swap animation must be complete before your shot will land on-target

ocean spindle
#

tbh i see it funny
cause i take automatics i miss some shots but i never think about it too much
its just funny and sometimes it can look very cool

silver fable
#

only afflicts shotguns

ocean spindle
#

ah lmao

#

:3

#

well i took combat for like a month straight so

#

maybs im just dumb

silver fable
#

if you're actually trying to do something challenging, losing shells to sway bug can be disastrous

#

it just seems kinda hostile and anti-player

#

like, I felt like I was getting gaslit when I fired up r7 for the first time

sturdy glen
#

its a realism thing the player wont notice so it should just be removed

silver fable
#

we never got clarification on whether it's a bug or a feature

#

if it's a feature, it just adds a fraction of a second to the pull-out time for shotguns, and encourages people to always ads your cool hipfire gun

#

if they thought quickswap shotgun was too good, they could've prevented the gun from firing until the swap animation is done I guess

mossy aurora
#

probably not a feature with a response like that

silver fable
#

I could see it being a thing where doc wasn't in the loop on the change yet

#

I guess replace "clarification" with "confirmation"

zenith granite
#

is the shelling s49 good?

silver fable
#

nobody knows the long names

#

but pistol is pretty good

icy cave
#

pistol?

silver fable
#

pistol loses its 1head+2body striker kill at midrange which isn't ideal, but it has 15 staggers per clip and crazy ammo efficiency

#

and good reload

#

I guess its main issue now is that it's kind-of a worse rifle, as long as you don't mind giving up some ammo (I wouldn't mind)

stuck elm
#

Are there levels where tilesets change between different runs? I was doing R5A3 Overload today and the zone with the 2nd bulklhead key was completely different from a previous run.

silver fable
#

iirc it's rare (in that almost all zone layouts in a rundown won't change, but if you find some rooms that do change then those rooms will change frequently), and almost certainly a bug when it arises

#

but yes it's known to happen

#

I wasn't aware of it happening in r5a3, but I haven't spent much time in that level yet

stuck elm
#

Yeah and an interesting point is that when I ran the level a couple weeks ago, the zone was different like I said, and the terminal was in the first room immediately after the security door. It was crooked and sitting just in plain sight, like it didn't generate correctly. The zone had all of the stuff in it (resources, key, and cell), but the terminal looked weird and the tiles were totally different refinery tiles from what I saw earlier today.

#

Legit thought it was an scp upon opening the door.

tardy ingot
#

for a map it happens commonly

#

R7D2

stuck elm
#

Yeah I think I remember seeing scaler's video of that and you actually said the zone was different for the mom, lol.

icy cave
stuck elm
#

It's kind of cool even if it's a bug. It's interesting to see what the rooms change to.

tardy ingot
spice ridge
#

what happens if you trigger 2 scouts simultaneously, do they spawn double the enemies?

cold quarry
#

yes

silver fable
#

spawn cap allowing

#

though the ones that don't spawn because of cap will bank up until some die

icy cave
tardy ingot
#

?

#

i have not seen that change once in r7d1 dna

#

always the pillar room into tank zone wide room. With specific rooms left and right on small doors

icy cave

Uhhhh

#

There's tank zone in 7d1?....

OG R5B2 Had a weird glitch were there was a 100% new zone in Extreme sometimes

#

as in, sometimes there was a sec door with another zone

#

bizzarre but fun

sacred dew
#

GTFO level Builder be weird sometimes xP

past mesa
#

I love when marker seeding changes half way through level generation

dusky tiger
#

is there any point taking the arbalest over the veruta?

wooden karma
#

if you think arbalest is more fun

ocean spindle
#

if u cant control the recoild of the veruta

dry pumice
sturdy glen
#

and then theres har

dry pumice
#

And of course the aesthetic of bigger heavy gun. Its like comparing M249 to M60, at least in video game terms.

#

i only wish it didn't look like a goddamn stub in first person

#

but this is GTFO, guns looking cool is not our thing

#

much unfortunately

GTFO HAS to let any combination of weapon tho

They'll probably be done after R8, player base is already decently low and they've been coming out with content since 2019

ocean spindle
#

decently low
i mean, i guess, theres tons of people when a new rundown comes out

idk about you guys but I can see in 210 fov irl

halcyon haven
#

What are the pros and cons of the different weapons? I've heard that hammer is arguably the best but what about the knife or the spear? what are the arguments for using other weapons?

ocean spindle
#

people type at the speed of light

fierce nebula
#

spear is noob friendly
knife is great at killing smalls
bat is a nice middle ground between knife and hammer where it can stun a lot

noble sierra
#

Knife: you can sprint and kill 10 smalls w/o taking a breath.
Spear: range.

ocean spindle
#

both of those :]

mossy aurora
#

imagine everyone is riding motorcycles and someone rolls up with a tricycle or a bike with training wheels, thats what spear is

ocean spindle
# halcyon haven What are the pros and cons of the different weapons? I've heard that hammer is a...

spear is nice n long range, its just made for stealth cause it hits headshots and it kills scouts very easily, also being very good againts big enemies in general both combat and stealth, the con being u cant run with it so in combat its not worth, and since u need headshots with movin enemies its worse

knife is really nice in combat, since it can take many enemies very fast, but with big bois it really struggles, it can kill scouts in an awkward way [hittin the back of the head] and in stealth is pretty much ok, tho u can miss cause of the angle the hit comes from so it takes some time to get used to it

bat is yeah middle ground, faster than hamemr but weaker dmg, its ok for stealth since if u fail a headshot [since it needs headshots too for the low dmg] u can recover by staggerin the enemy since it has a big stagger multiplier, and with bigs its fine as long as u have a team or bots to also hit it while u hit it cause u keep it staggered, a very coop weapon. with scouts its same as knife tho a bit easier since the hit comes in a much more comfortable angle

civic wave
#

Spear sucks and cripples your movement, the range isn't enough to make up for that

Knife mows down small fellows

Hammer does everything

Bat is pretty much hammer jr

turbid horizon
#

nah bat is it’s own thing

fierce nebula
#

duality of GTFO nerds

turbid horizon
#

It’s got the lock 1 taps and less stam consumption

civic wave
#

Which generally aren't too important

ocean spindle
covert remnant
#

I will become Spear enthusiast.

ocean spindle
#

the two types of players in gtfo

covert remnant
#

Which primary weapon was the bottom of the barrel?

And which special weapon was the bottom of the barrel?

turbid horizon
covert remnant
#

I will put those in same loadout while I run Spear.

fierce nebula
#

if thats where it was

ocean spindle
#

do the cryo loadout, spear bullpup precision rifle and auto sentry

covert remnant
#

I thought people really liked the machine pistol.

ocean spindle
#

thats the true gtfo experience

ocean spindle
#

yeah its still great

civic wave
#

Machine pistol is solid

turbid horizon
#

take uhhhh

#

Pistol

civic wave
#

Shit range, but solid

turbid horizon
#

:3

ocean spindle
civic wave
#

Pistol is cool

ocean spindle

pistol is cool

turbid horizon

Not exceptional but

SMG is a good competetor

turbid horizon

Doesn’t mean I can’t say they’re meh

#

i mean it is

ocean spindle
#

is assault rifle meh

covert remnant
#

I am legitimately pistol enthusiast. Why

ocean spindle
#

pistol is very neutral, but not meh

turbid horizon
#

Compared to pdw

covert remnant
#

You can also find me in #lfg-beginners, so not like I actually know anything.

civic wave
#

But I mean

turbid horizon
#

Cuz pdw is literally just better

civic wave
#

If the gun is good enough it can serve you well

ocean spindle
turbid horizon
#

There is 0 contest

ocean spindle
#

compared to hel gun

#

and like hel revo

#

every other is meh

turbid horizon
#

Nah u know what i mean

ocean spindle
#

yes ill still slap u

turbid horizon
#

AR is strictly worse PDW

ocean spindle
#

:3

covert remnant
#

I just like pistol because it reloads fast.

turbid horizon
#

other than range

ocean spindle
#

it doesnt gimme rights to not slap u

civic wave
#

There are better statted weapons that do similar things to ar

#

Still not bad though

turbid horizon
#

Yeah

#

It’s dece and i like it

civic wave
#

Very chill gun and it does enough

turbid horizon
#

And i can stand the scope (fuck pdw scope)

fierce nebula

silver fable
ocean spindle
#

do u waste ammo for LOCKS?

#

🤮

mossy aurora
#

its not a waste, you're opening the lock...

silver fable
#

^this

turbid horizon
ocean spindle
turbid horizon
#

4?

ocean spindle
#

specifically 4

turbid horizon
#

That’s impossible

ocean spindle
#

bet

#

not if i hack the game

silver fable
#

caring about wasting ammo on locks is some real intermediate player energy

ocean spindle
#

tbh yes i just wanted to make a joke

#

a comedy

#

a foolish... ness?

hallow saddle
#

if 5 bullets used on locks makes or breaks your run you were doomed from the start

ocean spindle
#

ok i feel like i am gettin taken seriously ksmdkm
no obv not

#

i was jokin shootin a lock does nothin to a run

hallow saddle
#

I like being told that you can't duo kill a charger scout. explaining how to do it. then the person hitting it in the back and calling me stupid.

#

my question is, why?

ocean spindle
#

thats a weird, thing to like

hallow saddle
ocean spindle
#

i dont like bein called stupid qwq

hallow saddle
#

I do. It makes me feel a sense of normalcy.

#

I consider it to be a "you're like me" statement that lets me know i've been socially accepted.

soft crater
#

Imo. Shooting locks depends on the weapon/level

#

Next to which melee you run

#

It's a small bit faster that in most cases is not worth

ocean spindle
#

if u only had bat uwu

soft crater
#

Bat is a hit or miss whether or not "Intermediate players" can use it effectively

#

This is more than just locks. But if it's purely locks. It's the fastest since you don't need to charge.

#

(I say this in the sense. You may not always have the time to multi hit/charge with other melee to break a lock before a enemy reaches you

ocean spindle
#

im jokin its ok ksmdkm im sorry

soft crater
#

While intermediate players exists. Shooting locks is situational and I wouldn't tie it to them.

craggy pier
lone mortar
soft crater
#

as I said it's situational. but as most vets are. meleeing them just as easy/saves ammo

craggy pier
#

4-6 shots from an ar to break a lock

#

like those bullets gon bite you back some time

soft crater
#

next to also. It depends on what weapon are you using to shoot the lock

#

When I'm thinking of shooting a Lock. It's something like Helrevo or DMR since they oneshot locks

craggy pier
#

what about hel shotty

soft crater
#

and to be fair Azert. My opinion of intermediate players. wouldn't be within making 7 shot kills with AR on a striker

#

and most newcomers say hel shotty is bad

#

not a fair comparision

craggy pier
#

as an advanced intermediate player i claim the moral high ground of just shoot the lock regardless (machine pistol)

soft crater
craggy pier
#

and for the hel shotty comment mad cuz bad

soft crater
#

I stated newcomers.

craggy pier
#

yeah thats what i was referring to

soft crater
#

for intermediates. it's hit or miss whether they like or dislike it

covert remnant
#

What would be an intermediate player? Is that like in between noob and vet?

craggy pier
#

hel shotty is an amazing main weapon that shouldnt be in that slot

ocean spindle
craggy pier
#

the amount of ammo damage and crowd control you get is through the roof

covert remnant
craggy pier
covert remnant
#

Ah. Don't think I'm there yet. 😢

ocean spindle
#

nevermind

#

same

soft crater
#

iirc bug hunter/testers or some shit need less or around 100 hours since it's the given average player hour count aside from vets who have hundreds/thousands of hours

covert remnant
#

They told me spear and bullpup were the best weapons in the game and I'm still stuck on R1A1

soft crater
#

= - = spear isn't the best in comparision to all melee weapons

#

but it is technically the best for beginners

#

especially for stealth

covert remnant
#

I don't get to play this game a whole lot and finally got a PC to run it really well, so I'm still working my through R1. So I am basically noob.

craggy pier
#

idk bout that, it will hinder them to adjust to hammer later on

ocean spindle
covert remnant
#

I actually really like the knife. I can't do it 100% of the time but I've gotten pretty good at killing Scouts with it.

craggy pier
#

better fail more n learn than to have a safe stealth approach

soft crater
#

they'll learn sooner or later the downfalls of spear once they get better pretty much

craggy pier
ocean spindle
#

i play smg

soft crater
#

PR is situationally useful

ocean spindle
#

u cant tell me im a meta lover

soft crater
#

it's strength is niche and not really useful in the vet scene for Majority of the expeditions

craggy pier
tidal sparrow
#

how do you know which region are the groups posted?

soft crater
#

you don't

#

you ask em

tidal sparrow
#

owh

soft crater
#

(essentially what I'm saying is.
People post beginners or NA LFGs regardless of region majority of the time here)

lone mortar
#

Spear can make alot of plays

#

Like the sledgehammer

soft crater
lone mortar
#

But in different scenarios

soft crater
#

sprint+charge *

lone mortar
#

Imagine running with the spear

#

That would be so OP

ocean spindle
#

smh just hack the game so u can run with spear

tidal sparrow
#

it's to prevent you from tripping and stabbing yourself

sturdy glen
#

I mean

lone mortar
sturdy glen
#

hammer is just better outside of the sprint part too lol

ocean spindle
ocean spindle
craggy pier
tidal sparrow
#

after r1a1, which do I do?

sturdy glen
#

also pr just has 2 alternatives that do the exact same thing but better

tidal sparrow
#

should I complete all r1?

craggy pier
ocean spindle
#

yeh! its pretty easy compared to other rundowns

#

so u can do it all

soft crater
tidal sparrow
#

been trying to matchmake whole day kekez

soft crater
#

matchmaking is dead

#

the minority of players wanted it

craggy pier
silver fable
silver fable
#

seriously meta is probably just whatever rayalot wrote in a reddit thread

soft crater
#

based

silver fable
#

but experienced players aren't slavishly devoted to some committee tier list or whatever

tidal sparrow
#

should fix matchmaking tbh

soft crater
#

some are- but not all yes

tidal sparrow
#

hard to just rely on discord

silver fable
#

it's just that PR is actually bad

ocean spindle
#

i think discords a bit easier to find groups actually

#

just in generals

craggy pier
ocean spindle
#

cause u can specify all ur needs

#

'pls dont carry, newer player, pro player'...

covert remnant
#

But is it possible to be really good with weapons and gear that are actually bad?

#

🤔

silver fable
ocean spindle
#

yeah
theres not super bad weapons in gtfo

#

they r all usable

soft crater
sturdy glen
#

yes but it will always just be worse than the alternative

covert remnant
ocean spindle
#

cryo did r3c1 with bots i think n pr bullpup spear and shottie sentry

#

tho i think shotty sentry was ok-ish then

#

also no

#

never carry

#

:c

soft crater
craggy pier
covert remnant
craggy pier
silver fable
#

but PR is bad in duo because it's just bad

soft crater
#

most "Bad" weapons are called bad because theres another weapon that performs equal to better than it in it's role

silver fable
#

there are like 6 weapons that perform better than PR in its role

soft crater
#

that or it just relies on teammates to cover up your down times

covert remnant
#

Still working on my aim. Still getting the hang of MnK.

#

But compared to console, I have found it way, way easier to be accurate.

ocean spindle
soft crater
#

PR's main strength imo is being able to combat enemies long range in darkness. which is niche and not viable in most levels

ocean spindle
#

with more ammo and range and about the same dmg

#

tho thats true

#

the thermal does things in the pr

sturdy glen
#

dmr and double tap lul

silver fable
soft crater
#

also. you don't see that many people aside from vets making headshots 80-100% of the time with PR/Revolver like that

#

especially at the speeds they do it

sturdy glen
#

so its even worse then

soft crater
#

pretty much

silver fable
#

when I evaluate PR, I assume the user is clicking heads a good amount of the time

sturdy glen
#

awesome

silver fable
#

still bad

soft crater
#

PR would probably gain more ammo but lose damage in the main slot

#

reload probably won't be as bad either

#

in turn a higher precision damage multi

silver fable
#

we have guns with outsized impact and atrocious reloads in main

#

most notably hel shotgun

#

to some extent sawnoff

soft crater
#

the gun most newcomers think is bad at first

#

hel shotty

pure halo
#

I like shotguns

sturdy glen
#

I wonder what noobies think of sawed off now

soft crater
#

it got buffed to be in a decent spot

sturdy glen
#

it got overbuffed tbh but I think its just powercreep

soft crater
#

nah

silver fable
#

I've seen people highly value 1tapping with it as a main

lone mortar
#

@sturdy glen the hammer double kill was yours right?

sturdy glen
#

hm?

lone mortar
#

That was a sick sprint jump

soft crater
ocean spindle
#

tbh readin stats yeah double tap rifle is just a better, precision rifle
it has 11.4 compared to 11.6, 10 more meters of range, more mag, more ammo, less refill cause its a main but more startin ammo, half the rate of fire but faster reload

silver fable
#

I still don't know what to make of the current sawnoff balance, it's a pocket pump shotty in so many ways now

soft crater
#

yeah

sturdy glen
#

I think its fine but

soft crater
#

some easy expeditions I do with newcomers is SawedOff and HAR

sturdy glen
#

they shoulda buffed regular shotty a tiny bit

soft crater
#

just fix sway bug imo

sturdy glen
#

well yeah

#

but that has nothing to do with balance

silver fable
sturdy glen
#

ye

#

thats what I meant by powercreep

#

hel shotty was the first big showing

silver fable
#

by which measure I guess you could justify a pump buff

sturdy glen
#

because shotgun IS fine as of rn

#

but it just feels

#

old?

soft crater
#

ol' reliable

sturdy glen
#

and sawed off isnt noticebly op if you dont know the stats

#

but man it sticks out if you do

silver fable
#

pump is unique, it has a combination of damage and uptime that isn't matched by any other special

#

so even if it's not crept like half the other specials, you still need it from time to time

soft crater
#

I recall when I was in my pump shotgun slide shot phase

#

was fun times

#

ol' reliable when idk which special to take

#

if they have to change a weapon imo.

#

it'd be combat shotgun

sturdy glen
#

they just should revert the change

#

there was 0 need for it

#

was already sleeper good

soft crater
#

I mainly say change because hel shotgun exists

sturdy glen
#

what, change the role?

soft crater
#

but then it'd go into main vs special debate and etc

sturdy glen
#

I think its fine rn

#

the 1 tap head is a really nice feature its just too spammable rn

#

its too good even if you dont go for it

#

you bring hel shotty purely for crowd control

soft crater

hel shotty can still dps like combat shotty / outside of consistent one shot headshots

#

just imo. if I want to use a auto shotgun. I'd take hel-shotty

sturdy glen
#

idk, theyre 2 of my most used weapons and while I use them in similar situations I do not aim them in the same way

#

use CS more aggressively, hel shotty more defensively and aiming for pierce

soft crater
#

Me who uses hel shotty pretty aggressively

sturdy glen
#

(my usage of defensively here is not very accurate but)

ocean spindle
#

me who uses both the same way aggresively

sturdy glen
#

tho I do occasionally actually play for stagger its rare

soft crater
#

if thats the reactor level that is

#

I can't remember

ocean spindle
#

yeah

sturdy glen
#

it is

ocean spindle
#

i have a completion of r1c2 with both

#

just cause i needed it

#

cause stagger weapons for chargers n bots r necessary

#

or they were

#

since i had about 90 hours if not less

#

probs less

soft crater
#

typically hel shotty stagger. I either tap fire to hold off hoards infront of my teammates

#

or

#

swap to my special to finish

#

I hate I do the latter with hel pp and hel rifle

ocean spindle
#

h how

#

its like tappin an enemy with cotton candy then throwin a truck at em

soft crater
#

pretty much

#

hel pp stagger and line'em up

#

then blast em

#

otherwise I'm staggering hoards infront my teammates with hel pp

#

which I also recall me and some other guy taking hel pp on R1C1 to help 2 newbies

past mesa
#

Combat shotty is just really efficient

#

Probs to good at 4 bullet cost

#

4.5 was fine

ocean spindle
#

i would take help a lot more if i played with people, but usually the times i do r so far in between i instead grab the guns that r my fav, like smg double tab machinegun

#

cause with bots i pick what its necessary

#

not really what i super like

#

thats why i dont use hel shottie anymore ever, i got tired of it

soft crater
#

ngl I was surprised when Rayalot defended smg

ocean spindle
#

i am surprised anyone would defend smg apart from me ngl

#

cause i can just say oh its fun but thats it

#

and say it jokingly

soft crater
#

smg is a gun I love as a design standpoint and etc

#

but it's performance and etc just eh

#

not really performance

#

but damage/range/flashlight

#

Also just hurts that PDW / MP exists

#

(MP has a better flashlight which I take over smg because of that.)

ocean spindle
#

i mean yeah. but again when i play with bots i need other types of guns, maybe hel shottie pistol even like machinepistol so when i just play with people, i take what i have the most fun with

#

which always ends up in the smg and the veruta

#

cause for me they r probs the prettiest guns on the game, at least the smg, and i just like em

#

ive tried arbalist pdw carbine hel gun but all those just arent as fun, pdw gets a pass tho im startin to like it a lot

#

but other than that, just kinda the same

soft crater
#

new arby is eh

#

It works

#

but it just ain't the same

ocean spindle
#

i never really thought anythin of it, the new changes r cool for like balance n stuff but other than that, it was never my thing

#

if anythin i pick it when i just wanna, not have to worry of recoil

soft crater
#

the Arby change to me is like. 2 range/speed effectiveness of the 5 damage value

#

HAR or Arby

#

Arby got buffed to 5 damage but became slower

#

HAR got less recoil/ faster Rof (already had the 5 damage)

sturdy glen
#

no chargeup is the biggest thing tbh

soft crater
#

reload as well I guess

#

I hadn't compared the reload times

sturdy glen
#

as of rn I dont really get why anyone would use arb over har

soft crater
#

I really don't either

ocean spindle
#

i need to play with har more, last time i took it was r4a1
i always say its ok but eh i guess i just need to play more guns in general

#

also when u cant control it i would guess

#

cause veruta it is a pretty hard recoil

#

until u kinda get used to it

soft crater
#

HAR's Faster Rof needs some getting used to if you're used to the old RoF imo

sturdy glen
#

har is very easy to burst or mix tap fire with so its just fine

ocean spindle
soft crater
#

a lot of times I'm hipfire tapping/full auto close range and tapping ads for longer ranges

ocean spindle
#

ikinda do the same for pdw, even if i shouldnt cause pdw aint a long range gun and im just stupif

craggy pier
ocean spindle
#

probably, i have terrible pulse, but tbh isnt it funky

#

i cant ask for the first times u used it

#

cause it was probs not the same or u forgotten

#

idk if it has been changed

craggy pier
#

Og r2 it had more kick to it

#

Now u just slowly pull your mouse down

ocean spindle
#

idk i feel like its weird to get used to it, kinda like how now if everyone asks u to spam hel gun u just do it but when u started u had 5 6 runs where u tried and it was sloppy

craggy pier
#

My precision is not the best so hel gun not the one for me
I did use it in r6 but felt out of place cuz skill issue

#

Its funny cuz of all the weapons I could have taken it was hel gun and it was only for r6d2 cuz I was thinking mothers and chargers Def best weapon to deal with both tho it got me far but it still didn't click with me cuz ammo n skill issue

ocean spindle
#

yeah the only time i took hel gun like fr fr and not to try it out was r3a3, just cause i needed it for my bot completion, and with it i took carbine
i mustve done like 20, 25 runs of the level with those two weapons, i got very sick of em

#

and i barely did headshots, i just did bodyshots and let sentries finish em off

#

and then for big ones i just spammed it

#

if i had good aim i wouldve taken a sniper, and if we had r4 i wouldve taken a burst cannon

craggy pier
#

I took the sniper for the majority of my r6 playtime until I switched to MG or Har then it varied from there to r7 to now

ocean spindle
#

i need to play with more guns

#

i havent touched har heavy cal chokemod normal shottie sniper hel rifle hel gun burst cannon pr in a really long time

#

ive just lived of combat shottie n machineguns

craggy pier
#

I use most guns nowadays on testing runs and what not then I switch to whatever suits the expedition

ocean spindle
#

testin runs

#

i just go with whatevs i can

#

chargers? well i have a machinepistol and a precision rifle yayyy

craggy pier
#

Pistol ain't bad for chargers

ocean spindle
#

isnt it

#

well i guess

cold quarry
#

2 kills per mag, pretty average

Hiii :D uh! I’m new and I’ve been trying my best to learn about the game as I’ve had my eye on it for quite a while and such and I’ve just picked it up! But uh? Do y’all have advice and such? :D

ocean spindle
#

haiiii!
emmm yeh! funky advice
be sure to do the tutorial first [Training], start on rundown 1 since its the simplest one, try every gun n such to see what u likes and what u dont
and if u gonna play with other people in this server, ask to not be carried and make sure that everyone joinin ur lobby joins ur voice channel :3

ocean spindle
#

no worrieees, hope u have much luck in ur runs >:3
and if u have any doubts or questions theres always these channels to helps!

Codes go: F N F N(k)-S S N F S(k,f) F F
where F = Free, N = North, S = South, k = key, and f = fog turbine.

Other than that, idk, just be fast clearing side zones so you have time to loot. You get more loot by fast clearing/shooting difficult to stealth rooms since you actually get to loot. And probably rush less than you think you need to, you're more likely to lose by messing up a stealth and pulling a bunch of scouts than you are from repeating waves.

hearty aspen
#

which better on 5E1 ,especially on giant error, hel rifle or sniper?

lone mortar
#

Cause the amount of franks is staggering

hearty aspen
#

i guess so,i mean sniper have potentally fastest TTK but it burn on ammo so fast ,which might not idea for a error

#

also that if your teammate didnt blow the head off first

tardy ingot
#

you need to get perma double pen for hel rifle to have same eco basically

tardy ingot
#

killing giant errors is mostly just solo sniper chilling

#

hel rifle works too

soft crater
#

Instructions unclear. I downed my team with 1 hel rifle shot

fierce walrus
#

good job

#

my personal best is 2 with oneshot

craggy pier
#

which error is the giant error

long dome
#

When can we get explosives

#

That’s not mines

fierce walrus
#

maybr oneday we get actual grenades

jagged shore
#

almost certainly never gonna happen

fierce walrus
#

i would love to see something like that in R8F1

#

where at the end we get a shit ton of explosives

#

and while running to extract/freedom we get to blow up sleepers

dry pumice
long dome
#

Even shrapnel grenades?

#

Like not a big boom but just a bunch of projectiles shooting out in all directions

dry pumice
#

Still an explosive.

#

No AOE basically.

long dome
#

Ah

dry pumice
#

HEL Guns is best you'll get.

long dome
#

Can it be nonlethal aoe?

#

Like related to c foam

dry pumice
#

Then what would be the point.

long dome
#

Not foam

dry pumice
#

Oh... Like a cfoam shotgun or something?

long dome
#

Kinda

#

Shooting out stunning pellets

#

Instead of laying it out with the foam launcher

fierce walrus
#

a flashbang

dry pumice
#

Hm

long dome
#

Like it helps a lot but doesn’t kill them

long dome
#

I’d rather not get blinded by a radom

dry pumice
#

I mean cfoam launcher is already that

fierce walrus
#

i think a flashbang could be nice cause the enemies react to light and sound

#

and if it was rare like a cfoam nade or tripmine

long dome
dry pumice
#

You can use it mid fight agressively

long dome
#

I found like four of them on a level

fierce walrus
#

foam nades kinda, foam tripmines very rare

long dome
#

Hmm

fierce walrus
#

some levels have a lot of them

#

or you just got super lucky

Between R1A1 to R7A1 is there any significant difficulty tweek?
or can one expect the same harsh treatment

winged turtle
#

it is not a linear difficulty curve from 1 to 7, but new mechanics got added gradually

icy cave
jaunty bear
#

i remember when r5 was first released

#

i remember crying

icy cave
#

there ya go. but even that says not so much as R7 is top 3 hardest rundown overall while R7A1 specifically is the easiest mission in the whole game

soft crater
#

I'd reckon R1A1 becomes harder if it's true solo

#

But if it's a 4 man. It's easy af

#

But

#

One difference is

#

You aren't being annoyed by Schaeffer in R1-R5

silver fable
#

r6a1 would likely go between r7a1 and r3a1

ocean spindle
#

id say r3a1 is harder than r2a1 and r4a1 is on par with r5a1 cause of the sectors

#

where do i go if im a beginner

hi! TRAINING is a tutorial yeah, its a solo tutorial that u can play by urselfs :3

sinful pilot
#

thanks

ocean spindle
#

also when goin to the LFG after completin it, just some advice!

hey, so when the rules say that you can't play "old rundowns" does that mean that me as a beginner has to find another server to progress until I get to the same rank as everyone else?

fierce nebula
#

the rules are outdated

#

and there are no "servers"

grim torrent
#

nonono, I mean other discord servers

#

like community ones

fierce nebula
#

unless you want a specific continent

grim torrent
#

so I can progress through the game in this server without having to be the same rank as everyone else?

grim torrent
#

I know

past mesa
#

Just your experience will probably not be the same if you pub in North America compared to beginners

grim torrent
#

I mean like same place in the game

fierce nebula
#

generally people are chill as long as you state you're new

grim torrent
#

okayyyy

fierce nebula
#

it's not uncommon to see new players jump into E1 LFGs all like "third level I've ever tried" 😹

#

and usually if people want a skilled lobby

#

they should state it in the LFG

#

so if the LFG says "experienced only" then just avoid those

#

otherwise rest are fair game

# ocean spindle id say r3a1 is harder than r2a1 and r4a1 is on par with r5a1 cause of the sector...

I first try solo'd r3a1, it can't be that bad. The class 4 in r2a1 stonewalled my first try solo, its waves seem just as stacked as the class 4 in r1a1 but its scan room has multiple entrances hence the ordering.
r4a1's main feels pretty simple to solo, I died shortly before second uplink in secondary. I suppose if secondaries are required then r4a1 should be second hardest.
r5a1 is hardest even without secondary, the cluster scan at the end is pretty nasty.

soft crater
#

Diminished alarms?

tardy ingot
silver fable
#

ah, tbh I'm operating on years-old memories of trying to do it pre-r6

#

well, 1.5yr old memories

tardy ingot
#

duh

#

thats gonna feel harder then

silver fable
#

and I would've used mines

tardy ingot
#

can also funnel them down that path with mines

#

mine big outer door. Then mine path

silver fable
#

maybe it goes further down the ranks, because the cluster is all r5a1 has

tardy ingot
#

it works super well

#

honestly the alarm is just long due to cluster + the upstairs part. Otherwise its easy af

silver fable
#

if it's mega chill to funnel then it maybe goes before r3a1 on my list

tardy ingot
#

hard to say overall

like its obviously also different to rank solo vs team

ancient vine

Hey, I haven't played this game for ages. They stopped removing rundowns right? How do I tell which one is the "current" one?

ancient vine
#

I guess I just overcomplicated it to myself then, thanks for the info! So used to "this is new content, this is old content" in games lol.

icy cave
ancient vine
#

Yeah I've come to play the game for short bursts so I've only played one or two of the old rundowns back when they'd release a new one and pull out the last one. Decided to stick my hands back in and it was just confusing me with suddenly having them back in. Are they just going through one by one to add the older ones back up to the "last" one?

icy cave
#

so you can just play everything you missed back then

fierce walrus
#

other than R6

icy cave
ancient vine
#

Sick as hell man, always sucked that I missed out so it's awesome to get to play 'em proper. Thanks for answering my questions!

icy cave

R6 is not one I am missing tbh

Previously in GTFO's development, when a new Rundown was released, the old Rundown would be removed, so only one Rundown was accessible at a time. This was the case for the original releases of Rundowns 1-6, none of these original rundowns are accessible to play.

Rundown 7, the most recent original Rundown to be released, is still available. After its release, the developers began rereleasing the old rundowns as "alternate" versions. These rereleases have received minor changes, but are generally faithful to their original counterparts. Noticeably though, this means that new mechanics, new objectives and new enemies that were only introduced later in GTFO's development will not appear in the earlier alternate Rundowns. These rereleases, as well as Rundown 7, are all still available to play.

@ancient vine from my level completion order guide

ancient vine
#

Nice nice! The game has progressed a lot since I originally got it so it's good to see they've updated the old ones with the newer mechanics and such. Appreciate the info!

also the fact if you played the game from day 1 then basically no new content was made for a year nowPirateSimon

make sure your resolution is at your monitors proper resolution, it should be the absolute last thing you turn down

If a hammer killed 1 sleeper while 2 close enough for detection were pulsing.
The other would wake up.

Whereas knife could potentially get away without waking it by chance
