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
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
usually sentries its their best tool, well bio is their best but ur newies so its fine if u have the bio
also, for some reason, bots can ping much farther with the scanner
unless they changed that recently
yeah its kinda the, takeaway from not being able to scan rooms and see positions
no they havent its still the same
360 view
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
nah the sniper is less for range and more for instakilling giants
New burst cannon is crazy good against chargers oh my god
u can get away with many other guns
instakill you say?
anything that requires precision is better in your hands than a bots, tldr
might have to try it then cause those fuckers get me
so long as you’re referring to base giants like giant strikers/shooters, yeah the sniper eats them for breakfast
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
basically, use the sniper if you really fucking hate anything larger than you are
yeah for most levels its really not, vital to have
nah, it’s handy but not necessary
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
Not anymore, lmfao
It shoots 2 bullets every 5 seconds
They also shadow nerfed the reload cancel
😔
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
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.
^ is misinfo, normal shooter's scream can 100% wake rooms
where did this come from
ok nvmd
looked at their takes
True but have you considered you are too close to the shooter causing it to scream louder. It works up its courage meter when players are around once courage is high enough
It lets out a mighty scream
I tried to test this by running two rooms away so I'd be far enough to not be able to encourage it to scream louder, but then it refused to scream for some annoying reason, made testing very very hard
I think this proves the tiny scream theory
You just couldn’t hear it because you where to far away
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
( •_•)>⌐■-■
(⌐■_■)```
so real
Given I have accidentally woken them three times with my boyfriend, and we spent five minutes baiting them out of their bedroom the third time it happened, I guess ours was too scared.
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
100%
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.
how do u check ur game ver?
start game, bottom right corner
most recent version is 34716
is it normal for a new rundown to only have 1 mission per letter at the start? Are more going to be added later?
Hey there! Coming back to the game after years, only played R1 and R2 I think.
I see all expeditions are now available all the time? I remember there being some kind of rotation?
Play through the levels and you might find yourself surprised at how much content there really is by the end of E1 
Yes. [A] levels are not generally welcomed by vets - they're too easy for them.
Free apparel for us peasants though.
Artek "dont call me the vet" the vet
eva opinion 
mhm
That design choice was walked back on as after Rundown 7.
Rundown 7 was the last rundown to replace the old one (which was original R6).
After that they slowly reintroduced all the old rundowns (known as ALT rundowns now) with small, mostly irrelevant changes to them. So now you can play EVERYTHING.
Recently added Rundown 8 is a completely new one.
That's awesome, very glad they did that.
That FOMO really is the worst in gaming.
Foam central
this was a really boring response
what are your thoughts on the sniper eva
it sucks
yes
hello i try the game bc he is free but im stuck in the tutorial(yes) i dont manage to type the right command on the in game computer for finding a key. i strugule with this "_" i cant write it in game . anyone help pls?
do you get / when you try to do _ ?
.. as many possibilities as there are keyboard layouts in the world, for me _ comes from the same place as in windows (as it should)
That's... A bizzare issues for certain. Does the button not work, or?...
im gonna be force to bring helgun to [last level] 🥹
its the - button that turns into _ with SHIFT
i hope you think of me when you do it
are you rizzing me up right now
gawdamn
LMFAO
me with you would be a downgrade
i dont speak to beep
LMAO
i just find out its because my keyboard is azerty and i put im in qwerty lol thanks for help anyway
for the most part

but techniclly we have diffrent weapon for diffrent job

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

There are tier list, and some guns are far better than others if you truly learn to use them correctly.
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?
But generally you'll be fine with any weapon.
forgot about the podcast
alot actually
watchu mean
hey
spear op
hammer = safe bet
bat = stagger
knife = fast
atleast the new spear look quite good
yea no
we have to give the dev credit for that
🫡
getting close isnt an issue since you wanna hit em either way to kill
especially since spear is pretty slow
and what about the "turrets" ? i dont really see anybody using them
mostly that foam and mines
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?

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
Yes i fucking do and i'm tired of pretending like i'm not
rn its a clear gap between 3 melees and the spear
Too add to this i found Shotgun Sentry + HEL Sentry team up to be exceptionally potent in current patch. They can effectively cut off hordes from tight routes with nothing making it past them.
I just use my fists
I still don't understand why they NERFED spear when it clearly needs even more buffs.
oh they can for sure
its pretty high tool useage tho
What the fuck is the balance man smoking.
At this point set the stagger multiplier to x0.1 for fucks sake
u need to get used to bringing a variety of stuff
I'm a spear user. I don't do stagger. Just give me power
honestly they could've added swords to the game
we dont need that stuff
zweihander would be nice
There exists a cut makeshift fire axe

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

This is not dark souls, come on
This is doom-dark souls
When will people take their aesthetic coherency seriously
cleave
Cleave what
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
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 😤
swing
suddenly 5 enemies get hit
swing
Backwards engineer and reingineer whatever Killing Floor 2 does
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
damn we really do be mining without picaxes
Machetes exist for practical reasons
I think the Kovac Peacekeeper is probably a standard-issue KSO truncheon
the whole weaponry lore its messed up
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
they change the lore so many times
and the artstyile and everything that this game was going to be
I suppose rundown 8 is the last update for the game ever?
might be a balance path here and maybe a quality of life update
but overall it looks like we are done
yeah but no major ones?
only time will tell
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?...
and then probably a console release
Am I seeing this right? There is a checkpoint in R1A1?
yep
me not happy me no like checkpoints in R1-5 me only want checkpoints in R6-8
It feels unnatural
It really does its like walking into ur house and taking a shower only to find out its ur neighbours house
speedrunning gotta work around that aswell 
Rip
let me guess, you used the in game matchmaking system instead of discord lfg
yeah, in game matchmaking isn't very good
Rip Kylo
who cares?
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
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
are there any even remotely solo-able levels
r1b1's probably the easiest to solo
(true solo, no bots)
a lot of levels are soloable
but its a skill/experience thing
yeah i got neither of those
hello is this bug reported or not
Help how to fix my screen goes green and red pixel around cant even play
rejoin if you arent host
Can you post screenshot in #gtfo-media for us to see the problem?
No such chanel
You don't have the permissions then. Go to id:customize and fix it
because they dont bug out?
R7A1 is good practice to solo, and R1B1 is an easy first accomplishment to solo
That is one round about way to get your twitch views up 
Terrible game going to damage my eyes
Just post it to #gtfo-media come on
Cant
Why
it's just the funny liquid bug when the game turns your screen a certain colour
"cant", lol yes you can
I am streaming u all can see the whole picture
theres also gtfo spoiler chat
No uch media chanel
spoiler chat lost its embeds, no?
someone just posted a pic
oh it got them back for r8
Perfect, #gtfo-spoiler-chat it is
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
follower only chat aswell 
@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
Are you using in-game matchmaking or what
i cant even get ppl to play and they just quit in the middle and the game doesn't replace it with bot
playing via in game matchmaking?
which is recommended against by absolutely everyone, everyone advises to use discord lfg instead
yes. i try before, now i try host it. as you can see I set it to player and bot
It should if your player slots are set to "PLAYERS AND BOTS"
If it doesn't - that's also a bug. There's plenty of those around.
should i retire it and restart my pc?
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?
gaming monitor fps mode
No, none of that... What level and how DARK it is exactly?
no need to restart pc
but also, people cant just randomly join you
you either need to look for players on here
Sometimes game lighting can bug out and go very weird.
or use the matchmaking in game (not advised)
But it happens very rarely.
@indigo herald care to post an example picture in #gtfo-media if you can?
as in dark. I know that you can actually spot an enemy because they like glow or something.
I would kill to see enemies without my flashlight
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
omg so troublesome
Eh
people being able to randomly join you would suck
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.
paying for troublesome.
Somewhat. It is a niche game and only caters to people ready to commit to the bit for the experience of it.
Can't people rejoin if they dc mid level
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.
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
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
not only left 4 dead. even warhammer and many others game have more better multiplayer features than this. And no check point all the way.
And gets replaced by some goon with an auto sentry and hel rifle
Dark tide is so much easier than gtfo
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
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.
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
Imagine checkpoints on every security door lmfaooo
Find people who are human and in vc
once 1 player leave they cant replace it with bot how you finish the game like that? mean have to restart the macth again
Bots replace people who leave I think?
u can run bots too itll just be harder
there are non for whole lvl.
yeah as long as u have the option
And IDK why you are playing with people who abandon you mid run
Every one of my games goes wrong
I'm doing my own thing, but if you want - i can join you and we can try playing the game the proper way... With bots even.
when people drop out it gets way harder
more funny some player just shot at their own teammate
Bots are real sometimes
You are literally playing with trolls and blaming the game???
I can't play until night
Well then
For the first 5 rundowns yes as that's how everyone had to play it. It's endurance and difficulty
Off i go doing the spoiler thing
No one seems to know FF is on...
game and player all bad too.
I just keep replaying drops..
same
id say games not really on the fault here but idk
You seem very decided in your view of the game so I won't continue this
yeah game is good ppl suck
i have a bot with foam sometimes its not as bad as everyone says
It can work
That's normal for new players, yeah
Hell, even happens to veterans sometimes
cause i already complete some rundown with bot only. than suddenly at extration point the bot doesnt go inside the point and scan they keep busy shooting the monster. algorithmn problem.
I just prefer to take foam myself or mines
who is yalls favoret gtfo carictor of the 4
I end up shooting my teammates a lot lel
on most extraction scans it really doesnt matter
jokes aside i kinda like dauda a lot
I have no idea what people find in Dauda
If you move the bots follow you, and the bots are not the intended way to play. You are meant to play with real humans who do not want to troll. Bots are for people who need one or two people
idk he got a cool backstory and its like ohh what did he doooooo
also nigerian thats a place we dont see often in games
dauta picks up datashere= DAUDAS FUCKIN BALLIN
But that's not the in-game dauda
is fine my friend give up
He dauded all over the place and felt guilty
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
its still kinda on character as in ohh misterious he doesnt talk lots and stuff
and tbh i really love the accent
He doesn't really act like a scientist in general dialogue
Otherwise he's just... The guy with the accent.
Also the worst mask in the game too.
he like me
none of em really are, good
apart from hackett
i like bishop because hes rude(i tride another discriptive word but it was blocked)
the funny one
i feel like haccet and woods arent that recongniseable
woods is the least because he never talks and is extremely generic
and religious
Relgious
then why cant he go throguh it saying some religous stuff?
Isn't hacket and bishop Irish and british respectively
he does have some lines
Stop doing that then
I didnt realize there were characters or backgrounds?
i dont know if thats a responce to the voiceline from one of the carictors or if you think i actually fell
I cant get past the first mission cause someone ALWAYS blows it
If you actually fell
You should stop doing that
Even if I get 2 col guys with mics the 4th guy from china BLOW it
BLOWS*
Replace with bot using bio track lol
Bio track bot is optimal
We tried that' still didnt make it at horde
its a bishop voiceline when he takes fall damage
newbie poblems I guess
What exactly do you mean by blow
ther is also the "OH FUCK ME THEY BUSTED THE BOLLARDS RIGHT OUTA THE DOOR" that sounds irish
developer should listen to player
cant watch it now im in a class but give me like an hour ill ill get it
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'
i pray that thine door stay reinforced in thy good faith for longer
yeah no that just sounds very goofy skmdkm
he isnt middle ages no one says thy
specially not in 2057
i was being a little sarcastic and now i get what you mean
jokin round
but tbf he does have a few prayers within his voice lines
they keep their lights on them or don't sneak. or they just start shooting when we get to a new area, never close doors etc etc
Is their character wearing default rags or are they a multicoloured sci-fi clown with robo-hands
They also don't listen when i tell them 'you wont find any first aid or ammo so lets sneak and stealth kill' Just complely ignored
i am default skin
are you using matchmaking or are you using 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
seriously, trust me on this, use the LFG channels
you are much more likely to find someone who knows what they're doing
👍
I played with ppl ythat know
like i said always at least one guy though
gets us killed
it do be like that
I think you just keep getting people who think the yare good, or just trolling / throwing
If i'll find a moment - i'll be happy to play a couple of levels with you normally
Gtfo do be a game
You can't play the way you want particularly until you've learned and practiced the mechanics
Understanding breakpoints can also really help
do the new melee weapons have different stats or is it just weapon skins ?
skins
thank you
is the bat a good weapon ?
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.,
ok
Why would i do stealth instead of just lighting up all the nude creatures I see?
(Im new)
try waking up all rooms and see why?
I mean you still might do fine
is the sniper ammo refill the same?
Bullet cost: 23.0 -> 17.5
I tried just now, I did not infact do fine
Saving ammo, saving health... The usual things.
The Bullet cost is reduced, therefore ammopacks give it more ammo than before (25% more ?)
Most levels provide enough resources to do that anyway.
well now you know
during a horde, can enemies spawn in rooms you havent yet explored?
yes
With notable exceptions, enemies spawn 2 rooms away, whenever they cant it's 1 room away, whenever they cant they plop from the sky
so 5 per?
alrighty then
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
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
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
lower RoF is painful but makes you more careful with your shot placement
i freaking love this game
That was, in a nutshell, my feedback after some reflexion (when the immediate thoughts were "REEEEEEEE")
man sniper is so broken
Yeah there’s psychological effects to rate of fire stuff
so glad they nerfed it
You’re a lot more careful with a bolt action than a PDW
how do I join a specific level of matchmaking let say R1A1?
You can't specific a specific expedition, it'll pick one from a tier. The host should be able to change it if everyone agrees.
once a group has been formed
All new melees are just skins, no different from their counter parts
However: hacket holds the new knife VERY weirdly
maybe he found a better way to hold the knife and we're all just holding it wrong?
Could we have prisoners with different knife animations when killing enemies or idling
that we be fun
You wouldn't be saying that if you saw it
#gtfo-spoiler-chat lads
Damn it, i already know the secret... Just not the scope of it.
How do u mellee the big guy?
- Have Hammer or Spear
- Get behind
- 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.
Do ||tank tumors|| count for back damage or only precision?
precision only


Hello I wanna ask for a question about R8B2, there's a mission told us to access zone 188 from terminal in zone 191
u can ask in #gtfo-spoiler-chat
oh ok tks
can a hel rifle one shot a scout?
lrg
yeah, that can kill a scout to anywhere
not a front bodyshot though
I retract my statement
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
It seems that no weapon can front bodyshot a scout
The sniper doest 40.01 damage base
Scattergun is just an instant delete button if you get close enough
basically
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.
Ooo i see thanks for the explanation
im new to the game when youre setting up a matchmaking thing in the lfg-beginners chat what do the various numbers and letters mean?
Most games will have an explanation in the pinned messages
Example:
R1-A1
492356397569695764
R1 = Rundown 1 (basically a campaign)
A1 = The specific level of that rundown.
The random numbers = the lobby ID code, that you must copy for the "JOIN GAME" button to appear in your main menu.
A = Easy
B = Normal
C = Advanced
D = Hard
E = Very Hard
thanks
Is there a difference between A1 and A2? Or just different missions, same difficulty
Basically latter, although higher numbers sometimes tend to be sliiiiightly harder.
Ah alright
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.
the new slug shotgun says its pump action but it doesnt work the pump it just fires and waits until u can fire it again 😦
yeah its been a lot more unstable for me though it normally leads to disconnects or failing to save progress (though that only happened once and it was on a1 so eh)
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?
yes and error is 24/7 in combat for bots

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
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
when I was doing solo with bots
they carried me in the error section
:O so you backtracked a lot then huh? how did you deal with the fog and carrying the items?
basically yeah
other times the bot shooting will be enough
hmm i see. in our case if we have duo, one person carries fog and other carry cell/neonate and that could work right?
yes
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
yes the big door next to the scan door must be saved
is it the big door when you enter the scan room?
yes
how do you kick inactives in a lobby?
alrighty, ill try the level soon again. thanks for the tips!
you do not
you can't?
I think a mod that lets you do it exists if you need it just I dont think your allowed to use it here
you can also install mods that let you kick players
no we use it
everyone does
nevermind then install it lol
I'll look into it, kinda silly though
one more question, how did you distribute the cells during error alarm? since you enter the error alarm with one extra cell, what room onwards did you not search for the cell?
gotcha so prob not recommended to search for the cell in the fog zone/4th surge alarm?
yea
am playing the game for the free weekend
got past r1a1 after a bit of effort and am now struggling on r1b1
any tips for getting into the game/for that level
play with people in lfg if you arent already, and youll get better with more attempts
for r1b1 you can go multiple ways really, make sure to stop by the terminals to grab resources and all that, having a biotracker on the team is useful for pinging enemies
anyone completed the solo b level with pistol only achievement? i think im getting filtered, attempting r1b2
burst sentry will greatly help you in killing enemies too I guess
you don't need to solo it, you can play with a team if everyone runs pistols
wait what?
the achievement isn't for soloing
it's just for a completion with a specific loadout
you can run full team with pistols/revolvers
“Controlled Response
Complete any B-tier expedition alone with only pistols or revolvers equipped as main and secondary”
sounds like a solo to me
oh nevermind, it does say alone
uh I guess time to throw myself into the gauntlet too
lol
alone as in no bots either?
r1b1 easiest
sheesh
if nothing else you're allowed to use some pretty good guns
havent really attempted solo before this so managing waves during the alarm is rough
im using machine pistol+revolver
I am a victor, kinda funny to see that the achievement icon is double revo
For r4d2, after getting overlapping overload and main, can we do the final warden door alarm in main before secondary and overload or will it activate an error after?
Alarm door to 101
Class 8 cluster
thoughts on sawed shotgun and regular shotgun as loadouts for r2e1?
Not the most optimal. Might be short on ammo
Yes finish clearing a path to main, kill the sleeping tank behind apex, finish secondary, and collect cargo in Overload
Aight thnx
Hel shotgun and combat shotgun
I'm extremely new and this might be a dumb question, but I keep seeing what looks like an audio wave or pulse over my co-players heads, but none of them have noticed anything like it. What is it?
Hm, dont know what you’re referring to. Do you have a screenshot?
I don't, but basically over their names there are two straight lines, and in between them a wavy line that changes frequency, shows up when we're trying to stealth?
Yeah, never seen that before
Might be a new thing from recent patch?
Though havent seen anything like it the past two days either
Is there anybody here that happens to play with mods, I bought the game very recently and wanted to try it out but mods just seem to crash the game on me for some reason
Unsure if it has something to do with the new update or the mods themselves.
I've only played like four missions or so today and yesterday, so I have no idea when it's from
Hm, my mods are still working after the update. Might be with a specific mod you’re using or improper installation.
Well, hopefully its just something you can ignore
do you happen to use thunderstore or something else 
Manual install by drag and dropping the plugin files
Downloaded files from thunderstore though
I think I might be crazy but it looks like it's active when they're moving nearby a pulsing monster??? But I'm starting to doubt my sanity
sounds good will try this out then , ty !
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.
Eh, if it’s not affecting gameplay just ignore it then 
Haha, that's fair.
Hi everyone, can I ask if there is a way to increase or decrease difficulty on the game? Just took it from from Steam and stuck on the second level
Difficulty does not scale with the amount of players. Unfortunately you can only use a mod to make it easier and don’t ask me what it’s called because Idk. I would suggest you use bots or even better use the lfg channels to find a squad
Ok, thnx for the tip
you did it? what was your setup + level
r1b2, sledgehammer + hel revo + revo + sniper sentry (burst is good too, probably better even)
aight so i just suck and should be able to get it with practice
it's mostly a matter of experience tbh, I'll have more experience playing the game and unfortunately there is no secret sauce
did you do anything special for the class 4 alarm right before hsu? thats where i usually fail
probably just need to kite better
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
hai! im on the free weekend for this game and i was wondering whats the best mission to start? im assuming just r1 (i think thats what its called)
Depends what you're looking for.
Rundowns 1-3 are pretty standard and their first missions are basic, and - dare i say - bland.
If you want something more spicy - Rundowns 6, 7 and 8 (especially 8) are far more exciting for an entry point, but in hindsight - everything before them will feel underdeveloped.
awesome man thanks, also, is the ingame match-making system good or is it better just to use the lfg here on the discord
Might as well start getting used to LFG.
Matchmaking is currently somewhat alive due to influx of free & new players, but that won't last long. Also heard some horror stories about griefiers.
Local LFG channels are more reliable in both senses.
cheers, thanks for the help
Hi! Will this latest update be the last?
quick question, is there any way to turn off, like, any of the visual effects (like the ghosting effect on text/the movement in the menu)? i poked at the accessibility settings but i might be missing something
think theres a mo to deactivate that ghost effect but thats about it?
u can maybs search for more in the modded scheme
yeah, i just found the "hud pixel effect" option but i was wondering if anything else was squirreled away 🤔 i might check over there as well. i don't have issues with photosensitivity but all the extra visual effects are definitely making my eyes hurt a bit
Do you use anti-aliasing, and if you do - which one?
Gui.mirroring shouldn't be affected by antialiasing
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
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...
so as long as i'm not in active combat i can just afk?
i usually just hit esc
is rundown 8 hard
Are any of the new weapons like the new meta to put on bots?
or should i still do carbine/burst rifle and machine gun
Recommended rundowns for beginners?? About to start a game with some new friends.
1 3 and 6 are typically the easiest aren't they?
pretty much, but usually goin in order its fine
and if u get stuck u just skip to the next one
also yeah no
burst pistol its kinda precision, slug shottie well its a shottie
and short rifle also has a bit of precision
plus none are autos
You got this
:D
Try what you like first. It’s important to note what guns you’re comfortable and not comfortable with. If you really want recommendations though, then hel revo and veruta machinegun
they said rundowns, not guns/loadouts 
My bad my brain is not working
gun load 🥴
The GTFO Survival Guide says to start R1A1 > R6A1 > R5A2 > R7A1 but I would complete all of R1 first
Best loadout I’ve ever seen
i mean pr smg its not, bad
bit funky for ammo balance
pdw sniper on a newbie
but u got a long range weapon and ur close range weapon
also yeah sniper idk most newies always take it
its the gamer impulse
I still don’t understand the nerf of mid tier guns tho
Gun long must have
long gun when
Sniper nerf is also making sense
Except sniper reload is bugged
sniper 2 in mag uh recoil and reload i think?
2 shots per mag, longer fire rate, higher recoil
It makes sense because sniper was always meta and now it’s no longer meta
so real
Its somewhat complicated
was it? I feel like experienced crews were starting to bring 1 on 4mans again, but it wasn't anything crazy
let me guess the ne metas scattergun
yes
Sniper for a while was effectively replaced by Scattergun and Burst Cannon, both of which fulfilled the same purpose but with extra utility into smalls if situations arises. Best sniper could do was to pick a random small and fuck him in particular.
i mean no still no
ifo just says yes cause they a goblin
:3
scatter :3
so then what is?
same as always
BC got nerfed too, so.
technically combat shottie/machinegun, but depends on the mission
?
only rationale I can get behind for scattergun buffs is that they wanted the community to meme on it again
fixed*
Scatter got buffed instead and acquireda additional ammo, so i guess its the meta now?
Yeah I mean sniper can be used for R8B2, but I just stopped using sniper overall now
its damage and ammo efficancy went up
I actually haven't tried the reworked one.
thats not a nerf
scatter is just better
You’re god damn right. Scatter is a meme weapon
I wanted to say "BC" but wrote "scatter" for some reason
I accept that it's been sidelined now, but that's because it's ass now
yuki check dms smh
if they added overpenatration to scatter it whould truely be a meme
Flawless hybrid kills, i suppose?
Well, anyway
door breaks "BOOM" wave gone
scatter could already 1shot hybrids before
That too
aim for head though
no mine required
its more reliable now
New sniper seems to be somewhat balanced really, not sure what's going on with scatter though
my guess is they wanted to like take a stand in the middle of scattergun and sniper and kinda make em equal in stats but also just different on execution
but idk
What about BC? It has the old recoil but I’m not sure if I like the 3 round burst
i mean
the rebalance seems like the worst of both worlds imo
more stabbility
I found it endearing
But the recoil needs to go
I fucked up a scout kill because of it.
NORMAL. scout kill
that was cringe
you dont have to waste bullets when bodying giants from the front
or back
:3
wait actually
maybe not the second statement
old sniper controlled fine, the throughput of offing 3 bigs gave it relevance but wasn't busted
2 bursts and 1 burt
now it's kinda ass to use
That is true
but if people get around it being ass, then they get the high eco of offing 5 bigs per refill
A major complaint was that people were not happy with ammo supply. The not-vets-average kind that is.
scatter is 5.5 uwu
Imagine having issues with sniper ammo supply
So devs gave it ammo... And nerfed the ONE thing they could touch, which was the mag.
However the recoil and fire rate nerfs were unneeded.
And the hipfire accuracy too
And the unintentional reload bug
There was nothing wrong with it
ya I know, I don't know why they're pushing the big killers' eco like this
tbf hipfiring sniper 💀
also can we talk about the slug shotgun for a sec?
no
I do it all the time when giants get too close for quickscopes
Sniper hipfire has a larger cone than scatter atp
it has replaced revolver
It did not
beter flashlight
:3
Wait, normal or HEL one?
Revolver is still good. The reload animation needs to gtfo
the slug sucks ass
...but it's not even competing for the same slot?
the shot delay + ammo
more ammo then choke mod and can one mag a giant
Oh i forgot to test new revo reload
god
brb
But it one shots scout 🥺
hel shotty can one mag a giant
well if you need time to aim
ok and
Tbf slug shotty would be a great viable weapon if it had just a little more ammo
total or mag
the shot delay probably just takes practice
i keep
switching off after pressing right and
missing
also the hipfire is nice
Short rifle sight goes hard. The gun itself is poopy tho
LIQUID OPTICS
And burst pistol is a mini dtr
😭
I found slugger to be low key my new favorite main. I really love the feedback of it. The only issues is that striker oneshot distance needs to be increased by like a... 3-5 meters tops.
it takes like 5 seconds to 1mag a big with it, and you need to be fairly close, and it uses nearly an entire refill for it
whereas choke 1mags a big in half a second from 15m away and you get 2 bigs per refill
also again main v special
just a teesy little boi
My friend used slug on a flyer that was meters away and it died in one shot. Very weird hmm
slug funny uwu
pretty good for a main
Such a fascinating gun
save the ammo refil rate
actually sawnoff also 1mags a big now, you need to be within like 4m but it does it in like a second
Its very small so takes no space on screen... Surprisingly powerful flashlight, great at hipfiring.
I do NOT understand the ADS on it though
Something's off about it.
i hope they change it to 4 barrels
I'm more unimpressed by its clear rate on smalls, and the kill potential into bigs doesn't bail it out for me the way it might for sawnoff
i mean hel shotty kills in like 2.5 seconds
lmao
i think its slightly above or below the circle middle
Would prefer for it to be a 3-burst pistol though
range?
nah, it gets to join the cool phantom barrel club with hel revo
does range matter if you can literally cross the room in the same time?
Hel shotty range is like 3 meters
at that point take scattergun
yea
its the meta as you say 🙂
yes, I think you stop 1tapping smalls just before 8m
rip
6m fall off, but 21 damage turns it into 7 for strikers
headshots
like i said kinda like revolver
but no aiming at close range
i cannot see a thing
i mean the fact is
it'd be fine imo if its fire rate wasn't as bad as hel rifle's
it has like 25 starting ammo
what about the machinegun?
"time to aim"
7.5 per refill, imo you wouldn't want an easy 1tap weapon to get more ammo than that
7.5?
sawed off gets 8.2
uwu
and it only has 3 per mag- oh wait nvm
4
What, Arbalist? its actually one of the best in the game, you can see EVERYTHING
:3
how much do the spetial pump get?
the one that go BRRRRRR
The 2 problems with slug sight is:
- its fucking RED
- the fact that its generated by 2 intersecting holograms forming a weird X on your screen, while Arbalist just has one source of hologram, exactly under it
The 2 "legs" of the sight is what disorients me the most
old scatter
For this reason i honestly just hip-fire the thing
honestly sawnoff getting pump shotty ammo per refill when its shots are literally pump shotty shots, was a bit of an eyebrow raiser
but it's kinda in that clunky "special as main" category with hel shotty so I felt it was okay
...but then they gave it an extra round per mag, which starts to allow it to have comparable uptime into waves to other good mains
im talkin one bullit
i mean
hel shotty does 180 per mag
idk
sorry
190
mb
yeah and hel shotty is S tier
whats the slug damage again?
21 or something
fair fair
but at least it's kinda held back by range and being kinda ass against isolated strikers
Difficulty goes down
But i'm not the one complaining.
tbf I don't think sawnoff is the new best main either
Seen some people getting real salty though.
FAX
but I wouldn't give it a 4 round mag
Just make every gun shitty. Bam no more complaining
so real
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
that'll cause the most complaining, especially among vets
you have no idea
Lol Ik
the crying when they nerfed BC
ok no but slug has sub 1k total damage
then yall might finally take me seriously when i talk about the hel auto
