devs should really add being able to toggle if bots auto pick up supplies

soft crater
#

arbalist has a slower dps than Veruta

craggy pier
#

Veruta is awesome

#

It's the rambo gun

#

60 rounds of brr and a fast reload

#

Also do shadows move slower than usual sleepers

#

I swear they're way slower and get closer

modest thunder
#

they do

ashen frigate
#

Shadows have indeed a slower move speed and shorter range than normal Strikers

BADUM tutututuuuuuu

#

tutututuuu

clever apex
#

is r6cx terminal uplinks better to do from top to bottom?

craggy pier
#

Yes

clever apex
#

Is it because there's more enemies the more terminals are done?

craggy pier
#

Over Time yes

clever apex
#

I see, thanks

craggy pier
#

Hybrids and shockers

#

Also top terminal is more open than mid n bottom

#

Only have to deal with flyers and strikers n shooters when uplink starts

soft kiln
#

mid > top > bottom to avoid tons of flyer and big flyer during mid terminal uplink

#

since top is quite easy to hold

hidden ridge
#

doing bottom last means doing bottom with fog eh, unless they changed it in alt

#

but bottom is so easy that it doesn't matter

dry pumice
#

I don't remember fog in CX (DX)

craggy pier
#

Its better to do top first
Shockers wont peek much into mid one

soft kiln
#

bottom is easy + you could use fog repeller if you happen to keep one

dry pumice
#

Not outside, that is...

craggy pier
#

Fog in dimension ?!!

clever apex
#

Yeah fog rises overtime in the final part of cx

craggy pier
#

That wasnt a thing before

soft kiln
#

it was

craggy pier
#

How Bad is it

dry pumice
#

Is it? I swear to god I never noticed.

clever apex
#

Noticed that when me and my team where in the mid terminal cuz we were slow

tardy ingot
craggy pier
#

Im certain there was no fog

soft kiln
#

it was a thing
it just fog update after R7 making it very visible

minor fractal
#

I am certain there was fog.

clever apex
dry pumice
#

Even on my failed bot run I wasn't even breathing the fumes of it at the bottom last.

soft kiln
#

pre R7 fog are less dense

hidden ridge
#

Bot to top you dont see the fog at all, basically

#

top to bottom is very noticeable from what I remember

#

It still doesn't matter

dry pumice
#

Is it vanilla fog or mountain dew fog

hidden ridge
#

even without fog reps I remember doing bottom last and thinking it was a breeze compared to bottom to top

clever apex
#

just vanilla

craggy pier
dry pumice
#

Not really a problem then, probably.

lone mortar

R6D4 is very fun ngl

#

Except the last error alarm

hey guys

#

i have problem with game

#

it say net work error but already try few methods but still have issue

#

what should i do?

twin hamlet
#

Just try reloading the game, there shouldn't be any problems with launching atm

lunar rain
#

Question what is a good tool for soloing?

#

I feel like mines could be but then again a sentry would be nice as well

modest thunder
#

mines for sure

dry pumice
#

I feel like burst is the universal answer. Mine or foam can come in handy in specific levels where you can really get the value out of it but generally burst is just your best friend

#

It can cover you, softens up targets for you, breaks waves apart...

#

Suddenly you're not so alone

lone mortar
tardy ingot
lunar rain
#

kk thank you

polar shuttle
#

Can you apply ammo directly to a placed sentry

dry pumice
#

Yes

#

Hard to tell what's the % of it though

#

I believe it starts showing yellow numbers once under 50%

#

So just hit it until it is white again

ocean spindle
#

bursts sentries are about 260 so stop when u get there
sniper 33
shotguns idk
auto sentry 550 or so

#

so u can just hit it off with the numbers on it

soft crater
compact junco
#

its a shame they wont remaster rundown 7, AWOL is my favorite mission working alongside Schaeffer but its so difficult even when I'm playing with a 4 man team

#

rundown 7 overall could use a lil ALT improvement...

sturdy glen
#

just take 4 scatterguns

compact junco
#

the average home defense method

ocean spindle
#

an alt wouldnt do it much easier tbh

#

most alts were easier cause the guns we have are better n stuff

#

along with minor minor changes, sometimes buffs

compact junco
#

oh so the ALT doesnt exactly change the level to be easier just the player equipment?

ocean spindle
#

the alt changes the level, but it can change it to be easier, harder or even the same

#

like r2b1 which is the same

#

we just have better weapons now

dry pumice
#

Alt 7 would only need to happen to straight out the lore being all over... And fix the goddamn D1.

compact junco
#

The lore somewhat barely works all together

#

like i was so happy at r6d1 to get schaeffers message

dry pumice
#

7 is not helping

compact junco
#

but there are no subtitles for Schaeffers message at R6D1 and its only played around the door so its hard to hear

#

would be nice if they made it audible in the whole room and added subtitles like when he speaks in R7

tardy ingot
dry pumice
#

Schaeffer for first 6 alt rundowns: πŸ€”Cortex
Schaeffer in 7:Aggressive_Artifact HackettThreat

compact junco
#

yeah first mission in r7 he contacts us like we best buds but he doesnt talk to us until r6d1 and thats a pre recorded message it feels like

ocean spindle
#

:]

compact junco
#

honestly dont see why remastering rundown 7 as an ALT would be too hard, if only just to change interactions with Schaeffer and for the lore to be consistent

dry pumice
#

There is a small funny possibility that R8 is just heavily derailed R7 alt

compact junco
#

like ig id be fine with the levels as they are with their bugs and all if the story was consistent

compact junco
#

that would be gross

#

2 R7's??

dry pumice
#

Key word: derailed

compact junco
#

and not to mention that the R7 that isnt the same storyline with the ALT stories would come BEFORE R8(R7ALT) would WRECK my OCD

dry pumice
#

Same time line but different objectives because things changed too much for old objectives to make sense

compact junco
#

already not having ALT on R7 gives me massive headache

compact junco
#

i feel like they are making it more difficult

minor fractal
tardy ingot
#

β€žJustβ€œ

compact junco
#

would be easier to make a few small changes in R7 for it to make sense then make R8

tardy ingot
#

i do hope it gets some fixes with R8 patches

But really changing lore (outside of maybe adding some voice logs) idk

minor fractal
#

Seems like a fairly uncharitable read of what Artek actually said.

compact junco
#

?

#

someone told me they were making R8 and used a quote saying "a gruesome end to the story" implying the rundown would be a new fresh thing that is R8. Not a remastered ALT R7

#

so if they make this an ALT R7 where will be rundown 8?

minor fractal
#

They won't make it alt R7?

#

That is still what Artek is saying.

compact junco
#

There is a small funny possibility that R8 is just heavily derailed R7 alt

#

i mean

minor fractal
#

Indeed.

#

Heavily derailed means not an alt, not the same levels, not the same content, etc.

dry pumice
#

Derailed.

compact junco
#

Same time line but different objectives because things changed too much for old objectives to make sense

dry pumice
#

Yeah.

compact junco
#

but it would still technically be rundown 7?

minor fractal
#

No.

dry pumice
#

Eh... Semantics.

compact junco
#

a different rundown 7

dry pumice
#

Warden would have to classify it that way.

minor fractal
#

Story-wise, it's technically altR7 if they go that route.

compact junco
#

i still dont see why giving rundown 7 a facelift and slapping alt on there then making r8 is a waste of resources

minor fractal
#

But in actuality, it's not an alt rundown, it's R8.

#

Because R7 doesn't need a facelift?

#

There's not really much they could change.

compact junco
minor fractal
#

Bugfixes maybe, but that isn't an alt.

dry pumice
#

D1 disagrees

minor fractal
#

That's bugfixes

dry pumice
#

I'm not sure it's bugs at this point, the maps too fat

#

Cut it down

compact junco
#

bug fixes, making the story consistent, making Schaeffer interactions consistent

#

that too

dry pumice
#

We need need giant wings for some terminals

minor fractal
civic mist
#

people want new content, not recycled stuff

compact junco
#

why need to pay them? use the same voice messages

hidden ridge
#

The story was all subtle shit until r6

minor fractal
#

Then you're not addressing anything.

hidden ridge
#

maybe r5 with schaeffer audiologs

#

then bam, people speaking at you on intercom

minor fractal
#

I'm not sure what you mean by "addressing inconsistencies" when you aren't changing a single voice line.

hidden ridge
#

it's hard to care about the story imho

minor fractal
#

What is inconsistent?

compact junco
#

i thought the voicelines were fine, i dont see how those differ from the alt story but add subtitles for r6 interaction, get rid of/change a few logs in rundown 7

#

or am i missing part of the story cause i didnt see the originals

compact junco
minor fractal
#

Your position is unclear

#

What is inconsistent?

compact junco
#

the game isnt really about the story its more co-op but it has a good story that it would be nice to see made whole

minor fractal
#

Why do we need an entire alt rundown for this?

compact junco
#

no we dont

#

i said a facelift

heady moat
#

(The lore so far is mostly all archived on the wiki anyway)

minor fractal
#

Exactly, we don't need altR7.

#

Case closed.

compact junco
#

omg

minor fractal
#

See you in R8.

compact junco
#

bruh

#

bros acting like he just impeached the president

#

i said facelift

#

i was talking about the lack of an alt label messing with ocd

heady moat
#

What would a facelift entail?

minor fractal
#

Bugfixes are nice, but R7 is fine.

compact junco
#

making the story consistent? idk the entire story myself but ive met dozens of players disastified with how the alt story is different?

#

i mean why change the story in alt at all what was the point of that genuine question

minor fractal
#

There are certainly peopel that think the story direction is dumb as fuck.

#

That's not because of a lack of continuity.

compact junco
minor fractal
#

That's just how the story was writen.

minor fractal
#

Which has nothing to do with R7, btw.

compact junco
#

the story isnt dumb its that they said there are 2 different stories going on?

minor fractal
#

Yes, there are two timelines in play.

compact junco
minor fractal
#

That is stupid and contrived.

heady moat
#

Parallel universes which may probably be overlapping now

compact junco
minor fractal
#

Yeah, it is fucked.

compact junco
#

i have a feeling the devs were just wingin it and made it up as they go

minor fractal
#

It's also not a problem that a second pass on R7 has anything to do with.

#

Yeah, I think winding down the game very suddenly after R7 might have resulted in a bit of "winging it"

compact junco
compact junco
#

cause from what ive been told and seen r7 is the odd one out here

minor fractal
#

Making it align doesn't make sense.

#

The problem isn't R7, it's the two timeline contrivance.

compact junco
#

so remove one of the timelines

#

r7 is the problem

minor fractal
#

If you "made it align," it would just be one tiemline.

compact junco
#

yeah

#

thats the point right?

heady moat
#

technically the ALTs were the problem

minor fractal
#

You would be retroactively rewriting the lore.

#

Which might actually be worse.

#

R7 is at the end of R1-R6, of which the originals have their own logs.

compact junco
# heady moat technically the ALTs were the problem

the problem was they made another timeline with alt when they didnt need to they coulda just used original story with facelifts on the levels but now that the alts outnumber originals, and the original r7 is filled with bugs and issues and everyone ive talked to so far says it needs a facelift, just facelift r7

minor fractal
#

GTFO is filled with bugs and issues.

compact junco
minor fractal
#

Ok.

compact junco
#

because if they have to change the lore its probably for the better because a discrepancy or something that doesnt make sense

compact junco
whole grove
#

How many expeditions do we think will be in r8?

dry pumice
#

He's got a point actually

compact junco
minor fractal
dry pumice
#

All you have to do... Is just remove Schaeffer from the picture.

minor fractal
compact junco
#

thats... not quite where i was going lol

dry pumice
#

No more scan In front of the glass in A1, no side quest on B1 just so that he would open a door for us.

minor fractal
#

Gameplay-wise, there's nothing left for R7.

compact junco
dry pumice
#

Alt R6 got cut to shit Schaeffer's monologue wise.

compact junco
#

that annoys me

dry pumice
#

And various Dragons are praising it as a QoL

compact junco
#

why did they do that?

dry pumice
#

Terms are acceptable here as far as I'm concerned

compact junco
#

Schaeffer is an important part of the story and hes the reason prisoners will escape (maybe) and some missions take place

minor fractal
compact junco
#

oh now you say im lying

#

bro you need to chill out

dry pumice
# compact junco why did they do that?

Combination of "voice acting expensive" and the fact that all the veterans get super mad about having to have their precious ears blasted with monologue while they do a minute log scan with nothing to do but gaining tinnitus

minor fractal
#

It's okay, I understand.

compact junco
#

your taking a dicussion like a political debate

minor fractal
#

Making altR7 is moronic, and a bad idea.

ocean spindle
#

the hells goin on here

minor fractal
#

I'm glad we agree.

compact junco
ocean spindle
#

if u two r havin a discussion can u have it in private

#

this is gtfo related questions

compact junco
#

i didnt lie at all? i dont get it i just mentioned that it would be nice to change things about R7 to make it fit better with the ALTS

compact junco
ocean spindle
#

ah well yeah but sounds aggresive tbh

compact junco
#

im curious as to why they wont change paticular things i was looking for a reason

ocean spindle
#

i didnt need to say that last thing tho

#

thats my dumbass

minor fractal
#

Your position was that they should make altR7.

compact junco
minor fractal
#

You then backed off of that and claimed you never said it.

compact junco
dry pumice
#

I agree: they should. Don't have to. But in ideal world it would be preferable.

compact junco
minor fractal
#

Then your position has no meaning.

#

You're advocating for a change that is basically nothing.

compact junco
#

im not changing my story at all, im using different words cause you seem to get mad when i use paticular words

#

your taking it too seriously just calm down

compact junco
minor fractal
#

Nobody

#

cares

dry pumice
#

I do.

compact junco
#

i do?

civic mist
#

isnt the whole thing of the alts that it splits off?

jagged shore
#

i'd like to see it

dry pumice
#

Frosty, maybe.

civic mist
#

why would R7 split off aswell?

minor fractal
compact junco
#

i found it silly they did that but now since they did do it it would be easier to change r7 to fit alts right?

dry pumice
civic mist
#

it really doesnt

dry pumice
#

It absolutely does.

compact junco
dry pumice
#

Especially when we advise people to play chronologically.

civic mist
#

the whole reason they did this alt shit in the first place is because they needed time for R8

#

change my mind

minor fractal
#

You frame it that way, but it really isn't.

dry pumice
#

So let's imagine

minor fractal
#

It seems entirely lore-related.

dry pumice
#

R8 is released

minor fractal
#

Alts are first-and-foremost a gameplay feature.

compact junco
#

its a gtfo related question about r7 and the lore being different

minor fractal
#

"Alt R7" implies a gameplay remaster

#

Which is unnecessary, and a waste of resources.

#

Just make R8.

compact junco
civic mist
#

because theres no need

#

its available to play

#

so you dont need to remaster it

dry pumice
#

And now we have a weird picture:
R1 through R6 is Smart Schaeffer.
Then suddenly in R7 he changes to half insane madman Schaeffer.
Then in R8 he's... Back to "normal"? Maybe?

compact junco
#

i think it would be nice if the story fit all together into one big pie, i think alot of the bugs ive experienced have only been in r7

minor fractal
#

Because R7 is already a high quality rundown, there's not much you could change game-play-wise that's interesting and also cheap vs. making a new rundown, and then there's also the issue of whether you keep OG R7 or not.

compact junco
#

i think some of the levels dont even make sense

civic mist
#

the bugs aint gonna be fixed with an alt R7

civic mist
#

hell, they aint gonna be fixed with R8 probs

minor fractal
ocean spindle
#

tbh if a level doesnt make sense thats not somethin u can quite change with an alt
the levels on em are practically the exact same

compact junco
heady moat
dry pumice
#

There's small possibility that R8 will address our concerns with, oh I don't know, time lines merging and different Schaeffers meeting each other, but we just have to wait and see.

civic mist
#

i dont think they changed the story because it was bad, they changed it so it would introduce an alternate reality no?

compact junco
#

i think they had a good story but with this different timeline crap its just a mess now

minor fractal
ocean spindle
compact junco
#

i dont see why they couldnt just stick to one path? does anybody know why they changed it at all?

compact junco
heady moat
#

to drive more attention from more people who otherwise wouldn't have cared

minor fractal
#

You are also replying to

"Alt R7" implies a gameplay remaster
with lore. This isn't gameplay related.

dry pumice
#

I don't think there's the reason.

heady moat
#

and probably allowing them to free up some manpower to get started on the cyberheist game (seeing as they haven't producing as much original bespoke content for GTFO over the past year)

compact junco
minor fractal
#

Alts are gameplay-focused.

compact junco
#

lets give it a facelift to fit the lore

civic mist
#

got no friggin clue why they changed it, a lot of ppl dont rly care about lore in the first place

compact junco
#

it was part of the game

civic mist
#

you can play this game without giving a crap about story

minor fractal
#

Then you're talking about something that not very many people care about.

mossy aurora
#

shotgun sway was an r7 specific bug, but they fixed it thank the lord

dry pumice
#

The alternative reality thing started pocking it's head way back in OG R6 with random logs that would change in different ways. Perhaps they always had this planned and it's just a good excuse to re-release old content.

civic mist
#

theyre alts because theyre bringing them back with a slight tweak because they cant 100% copy the OG

minor fractal
#

The lore community is largely fairly dedicated players, and only a subset of all dedicated players.

compact junco

conclude one of the timelines

civic mist
#

bring em together mby

compact junco
#

im worried we gonna leave the other bud hangin

civic mist
#

who knows

minor fractal
#

They're kind of ingrained in the lore.

dry pumice
minor fractal
#

Can't really "remove" a timeline.

compact junco
minor fractal
#

Without rewriting basically everything since R7.

compact junco
civic mist
#

they didnt remove

heady moat
#

unless ofc the timeline becomes redundant (due to everyone relevant being killed off/leaving that timeline or something)

civic mist
#

the gave us an alternate timeline

compact junco
#

so if this game was to make sense then remove rundown 7, replace, make one timeline?

minor fractal
#

Like, there are multiple story beats that specifically involve the fact that this is an alternate timeline.

compact junco
minor fractal
#

And we are canonically the same quad from R7.

heady moat
minor fractal
#

and the OG timeline

civic mist
compact junco
minor fractal
compact junco
heady moat
minor fractal
#

Like, you'd have to also remove Dauda and Bishop from AltR6CX

civic mist
#

im fairly certain the goal for the alts wasnt the new lore/timeline, it was retaining players by bringing back old content

minor fractal
heady moat
#

and giving them a head-start on developing their next game

minor fractal
#

Both timelines exist in the same in-game universe.

compact junco
#

so now 2 timelines, 6n rundowns for one, one for the other, seems to me if they want to stick to one timeline theyd replace r7, but if this alternate timeline is intentional then its a bit silly to me but so be it

dry pumice
#

I'm afraid you just have to swallow the pill of the fact that the ALT nonsense is a direct consequence of their FOMO rundown replacement experiment, which was a mistake to begin with. They can't fix this. Or... They can, but they'd have pull a No Man's Sky and do it for the sake of doing it and pure passion.

compact junco
#

i think they got tired of working alts said "lets go to 6, do rundown 8 and we done here"

civic mist
#

if they didnt do alts and R8 would still remain with its current relase estimate they have 1 1/2 years of dead silence

heady moat
minor fractal
#

Unfathamobly, this question would have been resolved much faster if you posted in the lore channel instead of the questions channel.

compact junco
minor fractal
#

It's almost like this is the wrong channel to discuss something completely divorced from gameplay, especially when you disguise your question as a gameplay question.

compact junco
civic mist
heady moat
civic mist
#

they just didnt have R8 yet

compact junco
heady moat
#

I'm guessing that they probably do have R8

civic mist
#

like holy hell, in a roiadmap before R7 release it was markes as 2022

dry pumice
compact junco
minor fractal
#

Genuinely asking.

heady moat
compact junco
minor fractal
#

Fair enough.

dry pumice
#

The changes are miniscule if any.

Ironically the strongest change was R5E1... A change that they fucked up the deployment of and only realized when it was reported as a bug in ALT R6 deployment, lmao.
Classic 10c moment, my eyes are genuinely swelling with funny tears.

compact junco
heady moat
#

but point is, I'm guessing that all of this was a contrivance to buy them an extra year or so of time to get preproduction started for their next project whilst keeping GTFO somewhat alive in the meantime

neon gust
#

it was always a mess

compact junco
dry pumice
#

Don't we all.

compact junco
#

game lore aside i think the devs have lore of their own, "why did they do this? was it because of this?"

#

their decisions are... mind boggling

civic mist
hidden ridge
#

Mayhaps because noone really had a plan in the first place

compact junco
hidden ridge
#

Look at the trailer

#

"This stuff will trade!"

#

That means nothing

compact junco
# civic mist not just lore wise

yeah like why change rundowns every update? i feel like alt was a reason to introduce all rundowns at once but then why the alt remaster

#

so confusing

hidden ridge
#

they very probably had their own idea of what the game would be like

#

stuff like the earlier trailers kind of make me think that

compact junco
heady moat
#

technically there were 10

compact junco
heady moat
#

then 9

#

then more than 9

compact junco
#

got to something like 60 now right?

civic mist
civic mist
#

i dont think it was planned this way before R7

minor fractal
#

Tbf, this is probably consistent with their plans for the MWP.

compact junco
#

i appreciate the talk with everyone involved my mind has more questions than before but thats how it goes ig lol

neon gust
#

With the release of rundown 7 they realise that the way they were continuing the game was completly unsustainable so they decided to use the memory stick shit and teleportation shennanigangs to change how the game its going be

minor fractal
#

It's possible that it's genuinely something they rewrote, but this might also just be something they already had noted down somewhere and they just never meant to implement major time travel in reality.

neon gust
#

re-adding old rundowns with some minor tweaks here and there

minor fractal
#

Like, the original EF01 logs include all of the time-dilation stuff well before Alts.

compact junco
heady moat
#

and, of course, buys them plenty of time for starting the preproduction busywork for cyberheist

neon gust
#

^

#

so we wrapping it up in r8

#

im 100% sure we getting more after

dry pumice
#

The truth is: gtfo is a very experimental project that tried some... Interesting things. Not all of them great. And it continues to be just that with the whole ALT thing. So unfortunately we just have to accept the flaws for now.

The lore was always an after thought. You can see it by reading logs in rundown release order. It was less than a skeleton for first 2 rundowns, then it suddenly started growing meat somewhere near R4 and onwards.
Today we have some batshit crazy lore going on, and barely anyone cares because all the people here are the gameplay junkies because it's hard to get involved into the lore of a game where the said lore is a rare log in a random ass terminal in the middle of an error alarm.

neon gust
#

but as of 2024-2025 no GTFO after r8

dry pumice
#

At his point the lore is just the only writer flirting with #gtfo-lore people

neon gust
#

Not at all experimental

#

lack of focus and overambition

#

all with a spice of mismanaging

heady moat
#

hopefully they've learned from the mistakes

neon gust
#

i mean we can say experimental to cover the flaws

#

but overall 10cc its a young company/game studio

dry pumice
#

The whole FOMO rundowns shtick was heeelllla an experimental feature.

neon gust
#

wasnt a feature

dry pumice
#

I don't know a single other game that tried something crazy like that.

neon gust
#

that was ulfs dream

#

clearly it didnt work

dry pumice
#

Aside from Destiny removing shit, but that was incompetency me thinks

waxen jetty
#

Where is csgo cobble

neon gust
#

when you have your own employess on stream saying "it kinda sucks that we have to delete months of work"

heady moat
#

Then again, the various co-op missions from the CSGO operations...

#

πŸ‘»

minor fractal
#

The rundown system is very much built for content that is "cheap" and can be shat out every month or two.

#

But that doesn't necessarily make for interesting gameplay, and presumably the devs didn't like making content that way.

heady moat
#

especially as each one would need to factor in a new cohort of new players

minor fractal
#

Like, R7 is probably easily the best rundown ever, and it doesn't seem like they could have made that in less time w/out their full staff working on getting it out the door.

waxen jetty
#

LOL

dry pumice
#

So what you're saying is that R8 will be shit

minor fractal
#

What I'm saying is that R8 will take 6 months as usual.

dry pumice
#

Maybe my not-alt R7 theory is not that out there...

minor fractal
#

assuming they have at least 10 people on it.

sturdy glen
#

r8 will probably be the best shit out there

tardy ingot
#

either the worst or the best. Or anything inbetween

neon gust
#

its gonna be like r6

heady moat
#

Still wondering how they're gonna resolve the inevitable cosmetics issue :^)

neon gust
#

but its gonna be slightly better

#

due to new tool

compact junco
sturdy glen
#

the new stuff they add might be bad but their level design will likely continue imporving

compact junco
neon gust
#

because this will be the last rundown that the whole team gonna be working on

dry pumice
#

There are more cosmetics than there are missions.

compact junco
#

ohhhh no...

#

no this... this cant be

heady moat
#

or completionists are gonna complain about not getting any unlocks

compact junco
#

I NEED MY HATS

heady moat
#

fun fact: there are full numbers about this issue on the wiki

civic mist
#

petition to unlock all cosmetics with R8 completion

heady moat
#

I spent waaayyy too long documenting it because ADHD brain go whee

compact junco
#

i need muh hats

dry pumice
#

Imagine being the guy to never unlock scorpion helm because stars decided to align against you

compact junco
#

im so glad i got that early on

neon gust
#

nothing else to elaborate

dry pumice
#

Mashing X to Doubt

compact junco
#

i needed that kovac stuff with the camoflauge cause it was awesome but i didnt get the pants i needed to finish awol with was hard af

compact junco
#

like

#

what it do tho

dry pumice
#

There are like 2 cut tools at least. But something tells me they will remain cut forever.

compact junco
#

did they say theyd add a new tool but not what it is?

dry pumice
#

No.

neon gust
dry pumice
#

Uh, how can i say this.

heady moat
#

anyway there's enough cosmetics for 88 main sectors/random unlocks. There are current 71 main sectors (unlock opportunities) in the game (veterans had a total of 86 unlock opportunities)

neon gust
#

mapper aint shit

#

shit tool

compact junco
#

was it that map tool that ive seen on mod pages\

neon gust
#

ill fight anyone

#

your cult will never get me

heady moat
#

R8 is going to have 17 expeditions :^)

compact junco
#

what was the other cut toooool

heady moat
#

I think it was a cut tool

#

literally

compact junco
#

or will i be shot for asking

compact junco
#

okie

heady moat
#

(as in cutting stuff)

dry pumice
#

Something something flamethrower. Early prototypes of one. Never went anywhere.

compact junco
heady moat
#

(it is a tool that serves one purpose and that is to cut things open)

dry pumice
#

Either way I think dragon's memeing. They won't add shit in R8.

compact junco
#

i like stuff

compact junco
#

like a lock melter?

#

but as a tool

heady moat
#

no, more of a 'door destroyer' I think

neon gust
#

welding tool was more of a map/objective thing

compact junco
#

OOOOOOO

#

OOGA BOOGA

neon gust
#

not really a tool tool

heady moat
#

oh ok

#

nvm then

neon gust
#

like we see in current game design

#

mapper yeah it kinda was

#

since bio didnt exist

#

but obviously bio its infinetly better since it actually helps on enemies

heady moat
#

oh wait just saw an iceberg image

#

I see now

#

makes sense (both in concept and why it was cut)

neon gust
#

yeah it was suppose to be a minigame

#

like hacking security doors

#

that got cut

#

many things got cut due to how the pacing was and stuff

#

I am 10cc biggest ally and enemy

I would say Pitski, but he's more of a public enemy.

neon gust
#

pitsky was more of an enemy of the people

technically he was right tho

there was a bugged that it would give him that extra tool

dry pumice

but i dont think its gonna be a fun convo

Pitski is innocent PirateSimon

extremely rare yes, likely to happen no

whats the hardest mission in this game?

depends on who you ask, but its between r5e1 and r4e1 generally

looking forward to it

getting my ass handed to me in R1 still

From what I've played so far 1&2 are generally the easiest and most straightforward. The As all seem to be generally easy throughout rundowns too.

"Easy"

amber spindle

#

I have a question; are there any easily accesible rundowns ( in a r#ra or r#rb? ) that contain like bossfights. i kind of want to do one but dont want to look online becuase spoilers. im still kind of new ( about 30 hours,one completed rundown and one prisoner efficeny badge)

latent obsidian
silent light
#

uuh

latent obsidian
#

Or just if they exist?

silent light
#

yea if any exist in the a or b levels on any of the rundowns, i have progress on rundown 5 and 2 ( about to r#b1 on both)

#

not the specific levels cuz surpises are cool

#

but if they exist on any of the rundowns

latent obsidian
#

There is a boss early in R5

#

In one of the optional areas

silent light

early like 5 level?

I love Dauda, the only man ill give a biotracker to

#

I'd say r4e1 is probably the hardest, r5e1 cell skip too, but they're different kinds of difficulty

#

AND THEY JUST NERFED R5E1 TOO

dry pumice

stuck elm
#

What specifically changed?

dry pumice
#

Begining's big angry bois got replaced with quick grabby bois

civic wave
#

more resources

#

replaced 1 tank with snatcher (which is, well, you know, easier)

#

and then added 1 more snatcher but that doesn't really make up for anything

stuck elm
#

Well that's an F

#

Which tank got replaced?

#

More resources is surprsing. The level felt pretty good resource-wise.

craggy pier
#

Blood door giant error tank

stuck elm
#

Hmmmm. That's a bummer because that's really where the level ramps hard in difficulty (if not going for cell skip).

dusky crest
#

dumb question but how different are the alt rundowns from the OG ones?

#

im playing them chronologically and just wondering if the story and terminals are different in the alts

minor fractal
#

There are gameplay changes, but they are otherwise about the same.

dusky crest
#

neat

#

It really depends on your bar for what a change is.

Some are stronger and make enemies react from further away

What are the best guns to give to the bots? I just default to assault rifle and fast machine gun. Does it even really matter?

fierce walrus

or burst rifle and revo

hidden ridge

fierce walrus
hidden ridge
#

dont give them heavy hitters unless you want to get heavy hitted

#

melee doesn't matter

tardy ingot
ashen frigate
hidden ridge
#

(I once gave vanilla bots burst cannon on r3c1 and they did very good with it but whatever)

#

Also, bots cheat with biotracker so give one of them that

uneven compass
#

Appreciate the answers. I usually play solo with the bots in A-B tier levels.

tardy ingot
hidden ridge
#

Let me elaborate with a classic example: R6C2

#

in OG, to get a "easy" clear, I got to checkpoint with bots by basically giving them scraps

#

Then I called in people

fierce walrus
#

R6D1 with reactor skip

#

even without infection resistance

#

bots absolutely carry the class 6

hidden ridge
#

With a good enough group, I could have obtained the same result

#

But with bots I bypassed a part of the map, which gave me an advantage for the "second" part where I needed people

#

The mere fact that bots exist is a game changer

tardy ingot
hidden ridge
#

Then you add the fact that they dont care about infection, fog, spitters, stealth or visibility

#

And yes they decimate ||shadows||

#

mainly because ||shadows are basically nerfed strikers that are invisible||

#

but they're visible for them

fierce walrus
hidden ridge
#

so they're just nerfed strikers to a bot

special is

  1. Malatack HXC
  2. Buckland AF6
  3. Shelling Arid 5

First of all don't use gun manufacturers - no one knows those.

If I disconnected during a mission, how can I reconnect?

Fuck

lone mortar
#

If you’re restarting the game

#

But if not

wind wren
#

I yeah I crashed

lone mortar
#

You can rejoin again without a code

#

But if you’re host

#

And u crash

#

Oooofff

wind wren
#

Wasnt host

lone mortar
#

Thats gonna be rough

wind wren
#

How does the host get the new lobby code

#

@lone mortar

lone mortar
#

You get it from teammates

#

Cause if host leave and or crash

#

The game migrates host

wind wren
#

No,only I crashed,they r still in mission

lone mortar
#

Into a more suitable host

wind wren
#

And I wasnt host

lone mortar
#

Yes

#

So now

#

Your teammates can send you a new lobby code

wind wren
#

Where do they find it? I asked em for it but they dont know where it is

lone mortar
#

So u have to go on settings

Its at the last section

Wat now

#

Not giving me the button

hidden ridge
#

ehhh

wind wren
#

Restart game?

hidden ridge
#

maybe

#

but if the button doesn't appear at all it's either a locked slot or something got fucked up somewhere

was it r1c1?

#

No r1a1

unreal burrow
#

How should I find a team? Just connect to a group that is looking for players at the level I want?

unreal burrow
#

Yes, and it's saying "Do not join voice channels without an invitation", so how?

latent obsidian
#

Can you see a list of lfg channels in the channel list?

latent obsidian
#

Cool, if you see a listing there for a level you want to play and there is space in the vc feel free to join

unreal burrow
#

Ok, thanks

latent obsidian
#

"Do not join voice channels without an invitation" just refers to joining voice channels that haven't advertised that they are looking for players in the lfg channels

I’m aware

You make me blush

why is r6ax called that?

lone mortar
#

Well

#

It is very much self explanatory

river dove
#

noo, the x part

lone mortar
#

Extension

ocean spindle
#

it's an extension level

lone mortar
#

To the rundown

ocean spindle
#

came out a bit after normal r6

river dove
#

so still normal difficulty

latent obsidian
#

Its called AX because it is lore focussed

lone mortar
ocean spindle
#

a bit harder than a normal a tbh

#

but still not that bad

river dove
#

okii ty

#

why is this the onlt rundown with x then?

ocean spindle
#

cx it's a d level tho so b careful with that one i've heard things

minor fractal
#

I mean, it's the hardest between B1 and B2 imo.

ocean spindle
#

probs cause, originally it was Bx, CX and DX
and it was like, there were already 4 D levels

#

and they didn't wanted a D5?

#

i kinda guess it's that but idk

latent obsidian
#

the rundown screen looks nicer now tbf

ocean spindle
#

now they change it mostly just to have a nice squared grid im guessin

#

yeah

thorny creek
# river dove why is this the onlt rundown with x then?

When the extension levels released they were intended to be non-rundown related and instead focus on a side story (that was still related) with lore elements that would tie into R7. Back then they were located on the bottom left of the screen

ocean spindle
#

now the xs and D4 align

#

and it looks cool

very square

if theres sleeping enemies around a corner

Unsure, but I believe they react to landings.

craggy pier
#

any advice for r2d2

#

it's getting a lil stale being curbstomped by the sleepers

Like wave 8 onwards

craggy pier
#

ok

#

any weapon recommendations i guess

icy cave
#

For the first 3 waves you can obv burn an ammo and a tool

icy cave
minor fractal
craggy pier
#

standard 4 player

#

last time i was running heavy smg/veruta

minor fractal
#

Probably 2 wave clear, 1 sniper, 1 versatile.

icy cave
craggy pier
#

after wave 7

#

first time we died at extraction
after that wave 8
after that idk
after that wave 7 because we used up all our ammo

icy cave
#

You should have more than enough for the level in that case

sterile citrus
#

You can pull the circle scout room and the terminal room and still pass. There's more than enough ammo n tool

craggy pier
#

also any advice on using the biotracker well for waves? It's often hard to get the entire wave

#

either i get 3 enemies or by the time i can scan everything they've arrived at my face and are ready to french kiss me

sterile citrus
#

Are you setting up on bridge or doing the 1 way funnel

craggy pier
#

1 way funnel near doors

sterile citrus
#

I like bridge personally

#

But I don't bio so no advice there sadly

dry pumice
#

Yeah, it's purely luck and practice at that point. You just scan last possible second and hope it doesn't glitch.

craggy pier
#

glitch?

sterile citrus
#

I think bridge is easier with pub. 1 way funnel if people reload odd it can get weird. Plus sniping easier on bridge

craggy pier
#

Can this game stop shitting itself for 3 seconds

#

what kinda glitch does the bio have

dry pumice
#

Bio tracker is quirky sometimes and pings all the wrong enemies

#

Or maybe theres a mechanic I don't understand

waxen jetty
#

Low skill level?

dry pumice
#

In my experience it refuses to ping at close range.

#

Some enemies get skipped for some reason.

past mesa
#

I think you are missing the bio pings

dry pumice
#

I genuinely have no idea. I hate using bio and bots utterly spoiled me.

craggy pier
#

also can i ask about how the terminal actually works

#

I saw on youtube some guy did like

#

LIST U _49 and it listed all resources in zone_49

#

why does this command work

#

how do all the shortcuts work on terminals

ocean spindle
#

works cause U is a letter than is it most objective and important items

sterile citrus
#

List u e_###

#

It's best

ocean spindle
#

its a filter, for Utility and all that type of stuff

dry pumice
#

I assume because U is a very rare letter.

ocean spindle
#

it lists keys and stuff

past mesa
ocean spindle
#

E because its ZONE, u can do ONE, NE and E with the number of the zone

#

and it works the same

past mesa
#

U is in the word resources

ocean spindle
#

so people just say E

#

E_999

past mesa
#

That is why it gives you resources

craggy pier
#

so

past mesa
dry pumice
#

And also U as in secUrity, which also lists keys.

ocean spindle
#

never seen that happenin

craggy pier
#

i could also type like
LIST RESOURC ONE_69

#

and that would work

past mesa
ocean spindle
#

u could but idk why would u ksks

craggy pier
#

just trying to understand

past mesa
craggy pier
#

ok so what about all the other type of stuff you can do with list

past star
#

List U E_###

past mesa
#

You can also type list u 690 and it will give you extra data

craggy pier
#

are there other useful filters

dry pumice
# craggy pier and that would work

Yes.
Personally my commands of choice is LIST RES ZONE_123.
I know I don't have to type Zone fully, but it doesn't bother me and I like typing that word.

dry pumice
#

It will catch anything that contains 690

past mesa
#

You get anything with that data

#

So if you can use your mind as a filter

#

You can use less characters

craggy pier
#

no i mean like

#

we have list resources

#

is there

#

list keys or something like that

past mesa
#

lost keys

#

List u

#

security is the reason that works

craggy pier
#

also how did people even figure out list resources

heady moat
craggy pier
#

the terminal doesn't mention that word does it

past mesa
#

I think it might?

ocean spindle
#

yes

dry pumice
#

It does

ocean spindle
#

when u list, the objects have a classification

#

Utility, Resources...

dry pumice
#

If you just LIST ZONE it will classify all the items found.

ocean spindle
#

Security i think

heady moat
#

Also the keys all contain the substring KEY in their name too :^)

craggy pier
#

oooohhh

dry pumice
#

Resources are just that.
Keys are SECURITY

ocean spindle
#

no, it was... i forgot the id one

#

ah

dry pumice
#

And as we recently learned some items are classified as IDENTIFICATION

dry pumice
#

PIDs and IDs

#

All of them

#

We had a guy who couldn't terminal the objective in... R2C2?

past mesa
#

Not as cool

dry pumice
#

Turned out they were IDENTIFICATION

ocean spindle
#

:D

craggy pier
#

are the burst rifle and assault rifle ok

dry pumice
#

Yeah

ocean spindle
#

yeah

dry pumice
#

Vanilla AR is kinda left behind, but it's not bad. Just not amazing.

#

Burst if somewhat of an upgrade damage potential wise, but... It's burst.

craggy pier
#

i want something versatile for d2

#

i always feel out of place with an smg because the sightlines are long

dry pumice
#

Try new improved Bullpup.

craggy pier
#

really?

ocean spindle
#

is not bad

#

i like it

#

when, before i despised it

craggy pier
#

hm ok

dry pumice
#

It's much better now

#

Might even be better than vanilla AR

craggy pier
#

the reload is still long

ocean spindle
#

yeah but feels more normal

heady moat
#

Negligible base damage difference between AR and bullpup

dry pumice
#

Or try 556 Rifle

soft crater
#

AR is in a weird spot more so with Heavy SMG basically only having a bit less range.

craggy pier
#

wow the bullpup handles like a dream

#

I'm gonna try this out

soft crater
#

Bullpup still fills a weird niche of a long range automatic main. Which isn't most scenarios. Better than before but not enough to warrant me taking it.
