#

why would i give em a sniper lol

#

they would surely balance ammo with it on small enemies

#

also yeah bots shoot the foam where u tell em from where they are so hard to work with

coral willow
#

personally, I’d recommend giving a player the cfoam - you can save it on doors by tap firing on them 9 times while a bot will ALWAYS do a full dump with it

ocean spindle
#

usually sentries its their best tool, well bio is their best but ur newies so its fine if u have the bio

coral willow
#

also, for some reason, bots can ping much farther with the scanner

#

unless they changed that recently

ocean spindle
#

yeah its kinda the, takeaway from not being able to scan rooms and see positions

#

no they havent its still the same

#

360 view

wanton sapphire
#

i feel like most encounters are close range from what ive played, so idk what use a sniper would have.

#

either that or its too dark to see far

coral willow
#

nah the sniper is less for range and more for instakilling giants

ocean spindle
#

sniper has the best flashlight in the game but yeah uh

#

sniper its

#

situational

crisp salmon
#

New burst cannon is crazy good against chargers oh my god

ocean spindle
#

u can get away with many other guns

wanton sapphire
coral willow
#

anything that requires precision is better in your hands than a bots, tldr

wanton sapphire
#

might have to try it then cause those fuckers get me

coral willow
#

so long as you’re referring to base giants like giant strikers/shooters, yeah the sniper eats them for breakfast

ocean spindle
#

theres a lot of guns to do big dmg very fast like shotties and hel rifle and high cal and many others but yeah sniper and scattergun are really the only oneshots

#

burst cannon only from the back

coral willow
#

basically, use the sniper if you really fucking hate anything larger than you are

ocean spindle
#

yeah for most levels its really not, vital to have

coral willow
#

nah, it’s handy but not necessary

ocean spindle
#

u can basically swap it for any other slightly high dmg secondary

#

thats what i do on my bot runs

#

i have the big gun they have the machineguns

#

usually i go in with a shottie or a chokemod or a high cal

#

depends on the level

ocean spindle
#

oh yeah i forgor

#

anyways

#

i have to sleep its 2 30 am

coral willow
#

what'd they change about it

minor fractal
#

Insane shot delay

#

2 mag

native sun
#

It shoots 2 bullets every 5 seconds

coral willow
#

ahh

#

hm

#

didn't know they lowered the rof
i know they reduced the mag size tho

native sun
#

They also shadow nerfed the reload cancel

coral willow
#

😔

#

ah well, i never used it - i usually just bring the fat pistol if i want something for that kind of role

#

just feels more fun

#

plus pistols are cool

slow topaz
#

Incidentally, if you accidentally wake a normal shooter, they literally cannot wake up the rest of the room. Their screeching is too quiet.

#

So, if you can bait them away from the room, you can deal with them without risking waking the rest.

native sun
#

^ is misinfo, normal shooter's scream can 100% wake rooms

narrow niche
#

ok nvmd

#

looked at their takes

past mesa
#

It lets out a mighty scream

native sun
past mesa
#

You just couldn’t hear it because you where to far away

native sun
#

Or maybe it did scream but I just didn't hear it, in which case it didn't wake up enemies, finally proving that if a tree falls in a forest but no one is around to hear it then it doesn't make any noise

#

And that sleepers don't count as quantum observers

past mesa
#

I was gonna make a tree falls in the forest joke

#

I am so mad you beat me to it

#

can i get most of the levels done with just a trio?

#

we dont feel like recruiting another person and im not sure about taking a bot, but i might for the extra sentry

brisk fjord
#

if you bring a bot, just bring a bot for the sole purpose of giving it a bio tracker

#

it has way wider range and faster reload time than if a player had one

#

depending on the experience you want, of course. maybe you dont want enemies tagged 99% of the time

#

though as you'd expect, the game may be more punishing later on with only 3 people. depends on how welll you and your friends do.

did anyone complete the whole r8

Working on it

Fingers crossed for new cool armor or pallete!

solemn flint

did they intent r8 to get beaten

#

anything that fit you

neon gust

for the most part

tier list is trash

#

we dont tierlist

#

we brute force the game

tardy ingot
solemn flint
#

but techniclly we have diffrent weapon for diffrent job

solemn flint
tardy ingot
#

considering that im planning to do a podcast/stream where we make compiled tierlists between scaler, blackdragon, ray, tru and me
idk what to tell ya

dry pumice
#

There are tier list, and some guns are far better than others if you truly learn to use them correctly.

hexed granite
#

Is there a difference between melee weapons? especially like between knives and spears? Is there is even a point to use a knife or smth?

dry pumice
#

But generally you'll be fine with any weapon.

solemn flint
#

forgot about the podcast

tardy ingot
#

ignore spear

hexed granite
#

watchu mean

solemn flint
#

hey

hexed granite
#

spear op

tardy ingot
#

hammer = safe bet
bat = stagger
knife = fast

solemn flint
#

atleast the new spear look quite good

tardy ingot
solemn flint
#

we have to give the dev credit for that

hexed granite
solemn flint
#

they rlly spent time on making weapon skin

#

lov the new spear

#

beside that

tardy ingot
#

getting close isnt an issue since you wanna hit em either way to kill

solemn flint
#

ill stick to my new bestie

#

the gravel

tardy ingot
#

especially since spear is pretty slow

hexed granite
#

and what about the "turrets" ? i dont really see anybody using them

#

mostly that foam and mines

dry pumice
# hexed granite Is there a difference between melee weapons? especially like between knives and ...

Hammers: averagely reliable, does everything at the same time.
Bat: hammer junior, trades range and damage for speed.
Knife: due to being silly quick on charging - can reliable eleminate many small enemies in a row. Worthless against big enemies.

Spear: the only melee weapons that can't sprint properly while charging. Deals extra damage on headshots, but less bodyshot damage than hammer. Thus struggles against enemies who don't have a head weakness.
Enjoys having an increased hitbox range.
Excels at dispatching giant enemies safely. Somewhat... Hammer still can do the same, but requires more effort and skill.

I play with spear constantly. Its quite comfy actually, but don't expect it to clutch you from a dangerous situation like Hammer can.

are they good?

#

we need to do the meme again

#

this guy need to see the meme

tardy ingot
#

current hel pp and hel auto sentry actually do more now

#

less funny

solemn flint
#

but still

#

4 hel auto sentry pew pew everything

#

no

#

u dont need the range

tardy ingot
#

burst sentry - average reliable (good wave clear helper)
sniper sentry - long range "slow" (better with bio pings) high damage sentry. Good vs giants and chargers
Shotgun sentry - low range. High output but blows through shots. Somewhat unreliable unless placed rly well
Hel auto sentry - stagger sentry. Stalls waves. Rly rly specific

dry pumice
solemn flint
#

no

#

bat is better

#

praise the bat

#

why range when we can stun lock

tardy ingot
#

rn its a clear gap between 3 melees and the spear

dry pumice
hexed granite
#

I just use my fists

dry pumice
#

I still don't understand why they NERFED spear when it clearly needs even more buffs.

tardy ingot
dry pumice
#

What the fuck is the balance man smoking.

#

At this point set the stagger multiplier to x0.1 for fucks sake

solemn flint
#

u need to get used to bringing a variety of stuff

dry pumice
#

I'm a spear user. I don't do stagger. Just give me power

hexed granite
#

honestly they could've added swords to the game

solemn flint
#

we dont need that stuff

hexed granite
#

zweihander would be nice

dry pumice
#

There exists a cut makeshift fire axe

solemn flint
dry pumice

But it appears they don't intend to bring that in

What would a sword even do

Cleave what

hexed granite
#

heads

#

ayo 🤨

dry pumice
#

He means a wide hitbox that hits multiple enemies in a row

#

Kinda like side attacks in Killing Floor do

#

At which point just go play that

civic wave

Sounds silly for this game, how would you even set up the animation

we have two bladed weapons already, we don't need a third 😤

but yeah not for this game

Swords are cool and all but aren't all the melees in this game just tools that got picked.hp

#

Picked up

neon gust

damn we really do be mining without picaxes

dry pumice

Machetes exist for practical reasons

heady moat
neon gust
#

the whole weaponry lore its messed up

dry pumice
#

Is it?

#

Don't seem too complicated

civic wave
#

5 round burst, they say, on a now 3 round burst weapon

#

Like I guess it's easier to use on smalls now but fuck me, give the 5 burst and shitty recoil back

neon gust
#

and the artstyile and everything that this game was going to be

hexed granite
#

I suppose rundown 8 is the last update for the game ever?

neon gust
#

might be a balance path here and maybe a quality of life update

#

but overall it looks like we are done

hexed granite
#

yeah but no major ones?

neon gust
#

only time will tell

dry pumice
#

Hammer are hammers, although i don't understand the practical implications of their designs. I think of them is just a gear mechanism from a larger machine...
Classic Spear is just a drill head. New Spear is broken old one with a makeshift sheev stampled to it.
The knives are knives. One of them looks just tacticool and would make sense for security forces, the other one... Looks like a pocket knife or something?... I'm not sure.
Classic Bat is just a security baton with extra prejudice. The new one is... I'm not sure honestly. Its either home made or... Maybe workers got bored and played baseball with it?...

heady moat

and then probably a console release

gotta optimize it first lmao

let me guess, you used the in game matchmaking system instead of discord lfg

yeah, in game matchmaking isn't very good

Rip Kylo

hidden ridge
#

It's just 1 map

#

And a A tier at that

#

I doubt they're gonna give other alt levels a checkpoint anyway

#

I'm pretty sure it's just that they assumed newbies for the freeweek would begin at r1a1 and it's not really super friendly as a beginning point as r7a1 and it's 2 checkpoints for a 5min map

civic wave
#

yea it is the first level most people would play but a checkpoint is so out of place

#

and the level isn't truly that long either, it's inexperience/scarediness that makes people take ages to return to that point

strong rose

are there any even remotely solo-able levels

No such chanel

You don't have the permissions then. Go to id:customize and fix it

See the picture on twitch kittyishappy

#

I cant believe how ppl can play this game

tardy ingot

because they dont bug out?

winged turtle

That is one round about way to get your twitch views up PirateSimon

shit why didnt i think of that first

Terrible game going to damage my eyes

Cant

dry pumice
#

Why

civic wave
#

it's just the funny liquid bug when the game turns your screen a certain colour

tardy ingot
#

"cant", lol yes you can

cold bluff
#

I am streaming u all can see the whole picture

tardy ingot
#

theres also gtfo spoiler chat

cold bluff
#

No uch media chanel

civic wave
#

spoiler chat lost its embeds, no?

tardy ingot
#

someone just posted a pic

civic wave
#

oh it got them back for r8

dry pumice
civic wave
#

anyway the solution is either to restart the game, see if changing any graphical settings somehow overrides it, or get on with it

#

because we can't fix the problem for you, and complaining won't fix it either

tardy ingot
#

@cold bluff
as you are playing with bots its a L scenario
that specific version of the bug is pretty rare and doesnt disappear. Usually youd just rejoin if you get it as client, but since you are playing with no other people thats just stuck until you restart

#

also game is very much recommended to be played with people

cold bluff
#

idk

#

why other player cant join ? like whole day

dry pumice
#

Are you using in-game matchmaking or what

cold bluff
#

i cant even get ppl to play and they just quit in the middle and the game doesn't replace it with bot

civic wave
#

playing via in game matchmaking?

#

which is recommended against by absolutely everyone, everyone advises to use discord lfg instead

cold bluff
#

yes. i try before, now i try host it. as you can see I set it to player and bot

dry pumice
#

If it doesn't - that's also a bug. There's plenty of those around.

cold bluff
#

should i retire it and restart my pc?

indigo herald
#

how do you guys see in the dark? for my first time I played with other people, I kept on following them in the dark and they still see the enemy without lights hmm, is there somekind of nightvision goggles in the game?

cold bluff
#

gaming monitor fps mode

dry pumice
tardy ingot
#

no need to restart pc

#

but also, people cant just randomly join you

#

you either need to look for players on here

dry pumice
#

Sometimes game lighting can bug out and go very weird.

tardy ingot
#

or use the matchmaking in game (not advised)

dry pumice
#

But it happens very rarely.

#

@indigo herald care to post an example picture in #gtfo-media if you can?

indigo herald
topaz anvil
#

I would kill to see enemies without my flashlight

dry pumice
#

The game can get dark when it wants to. Experienced players just use flashlights in short burst.
Or rather: they have it out and if it spots something and that something starts going "click-click" - they turn it off and wait.

#

R8c1 question: ||is there supposed to be a shadow giant error after overload?||

#

I'm watching others ppls runs and they don't get one

#

Or well,I watched one person's run and that person didn't get one

cold bluff
tardy ingot
#

no?

#

lol

dry pumice
#

Eh

tardy ingot
#

people being able to randomly join you would suck

dry pumice
#

Compared to alternatives...

#

YOu know like Left 4 Dead where people just pop in whenever matchmaking feels like throwing someone down your empty spot

#

GTFO doesn't work like that, for one reason or another.
You have to make the squad before dropping it, or spread your lobby code everywhere for people to attempt to join.

dry pumice
#

Somewhat. It is a niche game and only caters to people ready to commit to the bit for the experience of it.

olive robin
#

Can't people rejoin if they dc mid level

dry pumice
#

They can.

#

Unless it bugs out and doesn't let them.

#

R7C3 used to have a bug that was guaranteed to prevent people from dropping back in.

olive robin
#

Id rather have someone who dced rejoin than let randos take their spot

#

And left 4 dead is such a different game

#

IDK how reasonable it is to compare the two and their takes on mid run joining

dry pumice
#

Hmmmm

#

I guess it does introduces griefer related issues

#

Would be a sham to lose an hour long run to some asshole

#

Where left 4 dead its whatever

olive robin
#

Not even just that

#

Imagine ur friend on bio track duty with a sniper for giants dcs

cold bluff
olive robin
#

And gets replaced by some goon with an auto sentry and hel rifle

olive robin
#

I don't really know why you are comparing very different games

#

GTFO multiplayer is a bit rough but I don't mind people not being able to join mid run

#

I rather have a consistent squad than a random one

neon forge
#

I'm wondering when I'll actually win a game. I've been playing for 2 days and at least one guy wont stealth or turn his light on/ shoot at everything.

ocean spindle
#

also theres a thing where if a new person joins i think they get like droppin ammo, which for some levels it can be kinda a 'cheat' i guess

olive robin
dry pumice

That's just the concept of old dauda before his got mind wiped

#

I would LOVE for his scientific nature to come through in the in-game dialogue

#

But he just says... Nothing.

#

He could wonder about the creatures, things he finds, start murmering scientific jiberish

ocean spindle
#

its still kinda on character as in ohh misterious he doesnt talk lots and stuff
and tbh i really love the accent

olive robin
#

He doesn't really act like a scientist in general dialogue

dry pumice
#

Otherwise he's just... The guy with the accent.

ocean spindle

AND I LIKE IT DAMMIT

its a cool accent

Also the worst mask in the game too.

he like me

dry pumice

What exactly do you mean by blow

timid grove
#

ther is also the "OH FUCK ME THEY BUSTED THE BOLLARDS RIGHT OUTA THE DOOR" that sounds irish

cold bluff
#

developer should listen to player

timid grove
ocean spindle
#

its kinda funny like i just read 'oh why isnt woods more religious in his dialogue' how kmsdkm
not every part of the character must be like in the dialogue so players can say 'oh he said it!'
what would the religious man would say religiously? 'oh pray the lord god we found some sleepers'

timid grove

yeah no that just sounds very goofy skmdkm

trust me on this: use the LFG channels.

ppl i match with have gear not new still act new wtf

#

i default all day and i know better

#

they constantly get us killed

heady moat
#

seriously, trust me on this, use the LFG channels

#

you are much more likely to find someone who knows what they're doing

neon forge

i will now

in this server for lfg

I played with ppl ythat know

#

do the new melee weapons have different stats or is it just weapon skins ?

sturdy stump
#

thank you

fathom shell
#

is the bat a good weapon ?

dry pumice
#

Somewhat

#

Its a hammer that traded range and damage for quicker charges and overpowered stagger power

#

you can just spam enemies with light attacks and keep them stunlocked

#

Except big ones, of course.,

during a horde, can enemies spawn in rooms you havent yet explored?

hidden ridge
#

With notable exceptions, enemies spawn 2 rooms away, whenever they cant it's 1 room away, whenever they cant they plop from the sky

earnest compass
#

seems to be 5.14 per as stated on the wiki

#

which is honestly pretty significant

visual iris
#

alrighty then

earnest compass
#

used to be like 4

or slightly less than 4

going from 120 to like 45 RPM is very painful though, same with 3 to 2 mag size

Sniper Rifle got some decent nerfs, but the added ammunition is welcome for long-lasting sequences, where you need to use it a lot

earnest compass
#

Most definitely

#

Makes ammo management a lot easier

#

Where using a shot on a striker to help even out ammo spent isn't as wasteful

#

still pretty wasteful but not AS wasteful

ashen frigate
#

I would indeed use it more often now to kill a Shooter, when before the hipfire nerf I would sometimes use it as a "long range shotgun" with hipfire

earnest compass
#

lower RoF is painful but makes you more careful with your shot placement

#

i freaking love this game

  1. Have Hammer or Spear
  2. Get behind
  3. Start by attacking it to the back of the head for maximum damage
    4-A) In a group: have the rest get behind as well and just hit it from behind for backstab damage. Couple of hammer attack usually drop them like sacks of potatoes.
    4-B) Solo: immediately start charging the next attack and aim for the LIMBS. Fully charged spear and hammer attacks will break their hands and legs, forcing another stagger animation and thus you can have them stunlocked that way until you kill it.

Spear somewhat exceed here, since the bonus range keeps it out of punching range, while hammer has to put some extra work as to not get punched.

Hello I wanna ask for a question about R8B2, there's a mission told us to access zone 188 from terminal in zone 191

clever frost
#

oh ok tks

velvet reef
#

can a hel rifle one shot a scout?

earnest compass
#

backshot or headshot yes

#

hel rifle does 30.01 damage and a scout has 42 health

lilac widget
#

Are you talking bout the LRG rifle or the EXP1 hel gun?

#

Because they both can

velvet reef
#

lrg

lilac widget
#

yeah, that can kill a scout to anywhere

earnest compass
#

not a front bodyshot though

lilac widget
#

I retract my statement

earnest compass
#

yeah 30.01 damage per shot

#

precision multiplier of .73 so precision damage would be 21.9073, and a headshot is 3x damage on scouts

#

so a headshot would be 65.7219 which is greater than 42

#

a backshot multiplier is 2, so it would do 60.02 damage which is also greater than 42

lilac widget
#

It seems that no weapon can front bodyshot a scout

#

The sniper doest 40.01 damage base

earnest compass
#

scattergun

#

4.8 damage per pellet at 32 pellets is 153.6 damage

Scattergun is just an instant delete button if you get close enough

earnest compass
#

basically

lapis void
earnest compass
#

For giants spear

#

You can outrange its 40 damage melee with the spear

dry pumice
# lapis void so which in general is better to bring? hammer or spear?

As it currently stands: Hammer is a far superior melee to Spear, if you put effort and skill into it. It staggers better, got that 20 DMG base damage break point on full charge (meaning it doesn't have to rely on headshots to get things done) and most importantly: it can sprint at full speed while charging its attacks.

Spear deals less body damage and has a pseudo-sprint that barely gives you any speed, not to mention it barely staggers.
All for what? ~30% extra damage on headshots and extra range. That's literally it. Not really worth it by any stretch of the imagination. Bonus points if you find enemies who don't have a head.

I only ever use spear, but i'm aware of its' downsides. Which results in me basically never sprinting unless i have to, unlike hammer mains who just go full Oonga Boonga and dance in circles around sleepers.

Anyone else experiencing a lot of network or syncing issues with the new patch? I ask because sleepers were fully waking from movement when they were dormant or just glowing, and from fairly distant (>5m) stealth kills while totally dormant, and from very brief flashlight syncs. Also multiple cases of me or teammates being unable to interact with objects like door switches, lockers, or unable to pickup ammo pouches.

Bots will drop objective items when in combat, and re-collect the item once safe.
just want to confirm this statement with the discord. im trying to duo + 2 bots r2e1 and want to make sure that during the error alarm, the bot will pick up the items again after combat. does the statement from the wiki still stand?

soft kiln
#

yes and error is 24/7 in combat for bots

cosmic owl
soft kiln
#

so you will have to transport the cells and fog yourself

#

no worry the bots will be good enough to protect you when you transporting the items

cosmic owl
#

it was just last time, we had a lot of enemies that spawn during the error and kind of got overwhelmed before we reached the first surge alarm after error started

soft kiln
#

when I was doing solo with bots
they carried me in the error section

cosmic owl
#

:O so you backtracked a lot then huh? how did you deal with the fog and carrying the items?

soft kiln
#

I ignore the infection

#

keep health packs and use it only for scan

earnest compass
#

basically yeah

soft kiln
#

other times the bot shooting will be enough

cosmic owl
#

hmm i see. in our case if we have duo, one person carries fog and other carry cell/neonate and that could work right?

soft kiln
#

yes

cosmic owl
#

as you were doing solo, did you try to save any doors for the 4th surge alarm? not sure about the strat to deal with the 4th surge alarm with the fog and error alarms constantly spawning

soft kiln

yes the big door next to the scan door must be saved

is it the big door when you enter the scan room?

Yeah, just download the gtfo bepinex, extract the files to the main game folder, run it once to confirm you get a terminal popup, then after there should be a plugins folder in the bepinex game folder where you can drop in the plugin .dlls. Sometimes a plugin might have configs or additional assets that should be copied over as well.

r1b2, sledgehammer + hel revo + revo + sniper sentry (burst is good too, probably better even)

wooden karma
#

aight so i just suck and should be able to get it with practice

civic wave
#

it's mostly a matter of experience tbh, I'll have more experience playing the game and unfortunately there is no secret sauce

wooden karma
#

did you do anything special for the class 4 alarm right before hsu? thats where i usually fail

#

probably just need to kite better

civic wave
#

I had a mine on one side with a door closed and sentry on the other (they never spawned from sentry side)

#

that'd be more of a matter of experience with holding alarms

#

you could maybe keep sentry on you, see if there's any tripmines to place on that one door

#

or it might be easier to do r1b1 (which only really has 1 forced alarm), but the level plays differently

Does the game pause if you hit escape while you're playing alone with bots

The game cannot be paused, but there won't exactly be anything happening outside of some specific circumstances

So you can afk and hope the game doesn't crap out from being open too long

dry pumice

Can confirm. When soloing with bots i on at least on 2 occasions just went afk for like 30 minutes with the game running.

As long as its not one of them cursed levels...
