[heavy spire]

ah ok

[steep mural]

ah I see, I was aiming for personal defense rather than support

Thank you, just needed to clarify the dmg output, got tired of being a walking auto sentry xD

[hidden ridge]

Well you could say now that additional sectors give steam achievements

If anyone cares tbh

[jaunty latch]

^^ they where talking about the side rooms on r1b1, secondary and overload dont exist until r4

[heavy spire]

Oh great this doors bugged

I cant seafoam it

[jaunty latch]

do you have turrets or

[heavy spire]

yeah

[jaunty latch]

just aim them at the door

[hidden ridge]

Did they pump up the numbers of mines you get per tool refill use?

wasn't it like 1.4 or shit like that? I just used one twice and I got 2 every time

[jaunty latch]

wiki says 1.68?

[hidden ridge]

yeah still

I'm pretty sure 2 uses would be 3.2

not 4

[jaunty latch]

maybe just you just had a weird number that let you get 2 twice in a row

[hidden ridge]

perhaps.

For the record I dont have any boosters

[jaunty latch]

I guessed

[viral needle]

how do you play with friends

[hidden ridge]

Ok no nevermind I was wrong

[heavy spire]

so the "progression" dont actually do anything and dont give rewards right

theyre just there to guide you

[hidden ridge]

No, progression thing is just a reminder

[heavy spire]

kk

[hidden ridge]

Like "door opens with key X", wether you need said door or NOT, that's up to you to guess

[vernal nimbus]

I it possible for randoms to join my lobby if I host my own lobby instead of using matchmake?

[lilac fulcrum]

Yes, the slot in the lobby needs to be either "player" or "player and bot" for a human to join

you can set to none/restricted/private something and then no one can join

[civic wave]

people can only join through lobby codes, through having you as a friend, or maybe clicking to join your game on your steam profile

[lilac fulcrum]

But if it allows "players" then you can copy the lobby code at the top right and share it with someone

[civic wave]

and as d0c said, you can lock the slots so nobody else can join

[vernal nimbus]

so if people can only join through lobby code/steam is there a way to matchmake/host a specific expedition so that randoms can join without the need of a code?

[lilac fulcrum]

in game matchmaking will randomly choose a level within the difficulty tier you select, so no way to matchmake for a specific level. If you want to do a specific level with randoms, then you'd need to use Discord to search for a group. You can technically use in-game matchmaking, then the newly selected host can choose a different expedition, but everyone in the lobby would need to agree.

[civic wave]

in game matchmaking however is not advised by most people

[vernal nimbus]

alright, thank you

[viral needle]

where the hell is the HSU_443 thing in Z52_E ??? cannot find it at all.. been searching through 52 E alot

[hidden ridge]

which map is that?

r1a1?

[viral needle]

yes

[hidden ridge]

Spawns for E are: ||as soon as you get there, right next to the staircase, on the staircase, underneat the other staircase, or up on the catwalk (ladder is on the side of it)||

[viral needle]

omg we walked past it like a millon times

tysm

[grand glen]

Helloo I got a question about the achievements, maybe someone who got them can help me?
Achievements like:
Kill a total of 20 enemies with one trip mine
Kill a snatcher that has captured a teammate
Kill a tank without anyone on the team taking damage

Are they team based, or does every member of the team has to kill them in these conditions to get it?

[dry pumice]

For a tank - its team based, so if the fight goes well - all 4 will get the achievement.

The other 2 though... I think they are individual. So YOU have to kill the snatcher and YOU have to blow up a horde of enemies.

[grand glen]

Ohhh gotcha gotcha! When you say you have to blow up a horde you mean it has to be my trip mine?

[dry pumice]

I think so

Would we weird if everyone got the credit... Right?...

[grand glen]

For the trip mine I'd imagine everyone would get it 🤔

[dry pumice]

@lilac fulcrum Got any clarifications on this? #gtfo-related-questions message

[grand glen]

I'll test it with a bot, I have cfom on me so if I don't get it then I'll have my answer

[lilac fulcrum]

snatcher is just for you, tank is team. i'll have to double check on the mine one

[dry pumice]

I'm more concerned how many enemies the usual wave spawns

20 sounds like a lot

[grand glen]

It does ahah but well we'll try 🫡

[grand glen]

Makes sense! How about the mother ones?

Kill p mother and kill mother ones!

[lilac fulcrum]

tripmine should be for entire team

same with the mothers

since they usually are a team based cooperation needed

[grand glen]

Niceeee thanks for the clarification!

So only snatcher is not team based!

[dry pumice]

Where would i quickly find a wave of 20 and a laaaaarge door 🤔

[lilac fulcrum]

in the complex

[olive robin]

For snatcher should I mine the ceiling or the floor

[neon gust]

you should shoot it with a burst canon

[olive robin]

Yeah

But if I was placing mines

[neon gust]

anywhere really

hitbox will most likely hit him

[olive robin]

No mine weak spot right

[neon gust]

no

just flat damage

[olive robin]

Also I know new burst cannon kills giants in two bursts efficiently but

I shot a giant in the back and killed it in one burst

What happened there

[dry pumice]

22 dmg * 3 bullets * 2 flank multi = 132 damage total VS 120 Giant HP

[neon gust]

it does 22 dmage

[dry pumice]

Oh damn, 22 already?

[neon gust]

big bullet

yes

[olive robin]

Sheesh

So you get 3 giant kills per refill to the front

6 if you hit the back

That's honestly really good

[neon gust]

pretty good

[olive robin]

Konig gets 5 but you have to hit heads

[dry pumice]

5?...

Oh refill

NVM

[olive robin]

Yeah

[dry pumice]

I never think about the refill

[olive robin]

The three shot burst is pretty good too

[dry pumice]

Refuse to learn it

[olive robin]

A lot easier to kill enemies

[olive robin]

I don't learn it either I just check wiki lol

[neon gust]

sniper used to give so much breathing room

i guess thats the reason why they nerf it

[olive robin]

What was the nerf

Just one less in magazine right

[neon gust]

it was kinda OP in the right player

recieves more ammo but got more recoil, less hipfire, and reduce the mag to 2 instead of three

not a big fan of the change honestly

should stay at 3

but i can see why they tought sniper was pretty busted

[olive robin]

That's fair

Hip fire is still probably accurate on first shot though

[civic wave]

it is

[olive robin]

You just have to put a dot on your monitor lol

[civic wave]

but still, sniper is kinda like

quite literally not worth taking anymore

[civic wave]

golden eye vibes

[dry pumice]

Deleting 3 bigs in 5 seconds is pretty powerful. It was also just waaaaaay too specialised in that role, which made playing it a chore since you were praying something big comes up so that you could actually play.

[civic wave]

put a little bit of tape on the centre of your screen

[olive robin]

I definitely am taking burst cannon from now on over it

[dry pumice]

Now its not as clutchy AND you get extra ammo to waste on smaller targets. Like shooters.

[olive robin]

I mean it literally gets 3 giants per magazine

[civic wave]

sniper was completely fine

good at killing bigs if you can aim, mediocre into bosses but pretty safe

[neon gust]

hip fire spread only matter in sniper if your like mag dumping a big charger close range

[civic wave]

now you just kinda scattergun everything

[olive robin]

It's like two seconds for spread reset

[civic wave]

burst cannon kinda worse at dealing with giants too now, 2x3 is slower than 1x5 even if slightly more economical/easier than shooting 1x5 and then swapping to primary

[olive robin]

Burst cannon has more range though

[olive robin]

This is fair but I think it's a buff

Cause I can now use it on smalls unwastefully

[civic wave]

it's easier to use on smaller groups of smalls without wasting ammo

on larger groups which is where I'd want to use it instead of my primary, it's much worse now

[olive robin]

Scattergun is def a bit overtuned though...

[civic wave]

if it's 1-2 enemies yeah sure it's a buff, but 3+ enemies I'd prefer 1x5

[olive robin]

150 is insane

[dry pumice]

TL:DR most changes were made to unspecialise the extra large guns and give them more utility / reasons to shoot anything else besides giants (somewhat not true for BC, but honestly the wave swipe was cringe).

I don't understand the ideas behind scatter though. I guess average players just didn't like it?

[civic wave]

I mean hell, even sometimes with 2 enemies you can miss one of them with a 1x3

[olive robin]

I like the new short rifle though

[dry pumice]

It didn't really change much. It slightly increased oneshot range for giants, because dear lord you had to be up their ass for it to work AND made it work more reliably against giant shooters and hybrids, since the only hope to oneshot them was to stab it directly into their heads, which was a challenge on its own

A QoL change, really.

Bosses however... But i don't care for bosses, and frankly anyone brave enough to approach a tank for a scatter shot deserves the pay off.

[olive robin]

I guess it all works out then?

Scatter is boss killer

[dry pumice]

For now anyway.

All the buffs and reworks are appreciated by me so far.

But i'm utterly molding by bullpup and spear nerfs.

Absolutely and utterly undeserved.

Nerfing things by their use metrics in a game like this is just not a good idea. Who's here besides me is using Bullpup and Spear unironically?
I know Dragon uses BP a lot and that's about it. The rest have a disgust response.

[olive robin]

Yeah I didn't find bullpup insane or anything

IDK why it lost range

Kinda the thing it did

[dry pumice]

Their usage metrics are literally only inflated by new players falling for cool visuals

[civic wave]

Not even difficult or that risky if you've enough hp

Just sit around a corner, let someone take aggro then run in

[dry pumice]

Off i go writing the feedback letter

[narrow niche]

scatr

[tardy ingot]

beginners (a lot of people below 100/200 hours)

[dry pumice]

Exactly.

[crisp vault]

Any recommendations for youtubers that cover lore? I just got into the game so would probably need a start to finish kinda playlist if anyone has done one

[tardy ingot]

Professor Scaler

but theres not rly a "start to finish" playlist afaik

especially considering that R8 has just come out

[dry pumice]

Another is INFINITE DUCK, or something like that?
However the lore is updating constantly - you're better off going to #gtfo-lore , downloading the doc from the pinned message and reading the summary of what was going on so far.

[crisp vault]

thx

[spiral plaza]

slight r8a1 spoilers ||will the lockdown door near the start open under any conditions? it didnt open after the matter wave projector was taken or after it was deposited||

[thorny creek]

Keep playing and you'll see

[upper ginkgo]

|| no, the door will not unlock no matter what, it'll become apparent why as you progress through the rundown ||

[spiral plaza]

thanks

[dry pumice]

#gtfo-spoiler-chat

[devout heath]

Mabye there is going to be a new game of gtfo to continue the story of the 4 survivors or mabye a start too a new group of new surviviors if there is a new story /game ill be playing it

[olive robin]

well

their next game is den of wolves so...

it'd be after that

[rancid grove]

for the Trigger Discipline achievement does it mean you have to kill enemies ONLY with your melee or can you also use tools, as it says to NOT kill them with main and secondary only.

[civic wave]

Tools are fine, but you cannot fire your gun for any reason

shooting for any reason will end the achievement run

[rancid grove]

alright, a follow up question, do bots mess up your achievement runs?

[civic wave]

I think they would in a lot of situations

because they'll shoot indiscriminately and all that stuff

[rancid grove]

I would assume the solo achievements are also meant for true solo without bots right?

[sweet kite]

how do i make a private game with my friend

[tardy ingot]

click on a level

host it

[civic wave]

yeah, solo as in solo, not as in with bots

[rancid grove]

alright I appreciate the answers

[civic vortex]

guys any recommedation on ultility mods?

[tardy ingot]

utility mods?

[lusty bramble]

better bots

[olive robin]

Accurate Crosshair

and Weapon Stat Shower

both are not mods that will get you banned

[olive robin]

i checked this one using mod mail

[olive robin]

this one is only impactful in lobby, lets you avoid having to open the wiki to check dmg values etc

[civic vortex]

currently downloaded pingeverything, resource helper and colorHUD/Equipment

these are fine right?

[olive robin]

dont think so

since it enhances pings beyond base gameplay

[civic wave]

nobody will go after you for using ping everything

but it does add functionality

[olive robin]

color hud is fine

[tepid sand]

I will

[civic vortex]

Q.Q

[olive robin]

is this lawful evil or chaotic neutral

[tepid sand]

Lawful evil

[civic wave]

uh probably chaotic good tbh

[civic vortex]

will in that case i won't, i just want ultility xD, don't want to make game easier

[tepid sand]

Rule 12!!!

Lmao I’m yanking your chain

It is chaotic

I don’t care

But by definition it does break Rule 12

Majority of hosts don’t care tho

[olive robin]

ppl wont really care as long as your mods dont effect stats and the way they play the game

[tepid sand]

Just double check with them

[civic wave]

I don't touch mods at all, think the furthest I'd go was changing name/glowstick colour

part of me thinks it'd be funny to mod og r4 weapons back into the game and troll but too much effort

[olive robin]

i only got the accurate crosshair, cause they are inaccurate beyond base fov

[civic wave]

and I wouldn't do it in random lobbies

[civic vortex]

if i have colorfful glowsticks

does it show in other players pov too?

[lost shuttle]

how do i start up the reactor?

[tepid sand]

I haven’t got a clue, I’ve never used colorful glowsticks

[civic wave]

no

[olive robin]

you talk to it

use the terminal

it speaks reactor language

if you ask the terminal to tell you the command list

you should be good from there

[lost shuttle]

when it says use code WARP

[olive robin]

type "reactor_verify warp"

i think at least

[lost shuttle]

i tried that

didnt work

[fierce walrus]

might have been too late

[olive robin]

what did it say

[lost shuttle]

i tried warp reactor_verify as well

not recognized as a code

[civic wave]

REACTOR_VERIFY <CODE>

during the verification stage

[ocean spindle]

be sure u didnt made a typo or added a space where u didnt need to

[civic wave]

will progress you to the next stage

[fierce walrus]

if you are too late and the timer runs out you need to wait for the next verification stage

[jaunty latch]

reactor_startup

[lost shuttle]

cause im on R1C1

do i do the startup first then the verify warp code?

[jaunty latch]

in case I spelled it wrong type COMMANDS in and put whatever it says there

[ocean spindle]

u use REACTOR_STARTUP to start the whole thing
then after that its a lil combat period, and then u use REACTOR_VERIFY CODE when it tells u to

[lost shuttle]

ah ok

[jaunty latch]

do that on random terminals your confused with later on too because it will tell you if its an objective one or not

[civic wave]

REACTOR_STARTUP
do team scan
warming up timer begins
high intensity test timer begins
verifcation timer begins
While verification timer is active, you do REACTOR_VERIFY <CODE> to progress

[lost shuttle]

thank you

[civic wave]

good luck, once you start a reactor you either finish it or die

[pallid marsh]

Its there a technical suppot post about how to get the join lobby through code, my game doesnt seem to recognise the clipboard

[floral acorn]

are u playing on geforcenow or such? send code to self on steam, shift tab in game, copy code, look at rundown screen, find red button join xxx

[pallid marsh]

Suomi?

[floral acorn]

🫡 kyllä herra

[pallid marsh]

Aivan, en näköjään saa tätä asiaa toimimaan. pitää kait sit säätää.

[floral acorn]

lets go dm

... another won 🥳

[grand glen]

Any chance the devs will revert the sniper changes?

I'd rather less two bullets but 3 on the magazine

[ashen frigate]

I am perfectly fine with most changes done to it. But that 2 bullets in mag hurts :( I would gladly give back the added max ammo / bullet cost for it

[grand glen]

Righttt

It hurts my soul so much to use the sniper now

[ashen frigate]

Still, it is in a decent place, as long as you do not need too many close shots with it.

[grand glen]

I liked it to quickly kill several big guys ahah

[ashen frigate]

But I agree it hurt me quite a bit

[dry field]

The time between shots destroys the sniper for me

[grand glen]

Very useful ❤️

[grand glen]

That too!

[dry field]

I aim in after recoil and I press to kill, Nothing happens

[ashen frigate]

You get somewhat used to it

[grand glen]

I feel it got too big of a nerf 😅

[grand glen]

Mhmmm

[dry field]

Going back to back 3 big things in a row at Speed was a skill I enjoyed playing with

[grand glen]

Delay + only two bullets

[dry field]

I think the delay is the one thing I'd like gone, beyond all other things.

[grand glen]

Yup. reason why i loved it sm

[dry field]

It felt crucial to making it fun

[grand glen]

Kills big enemies really fast

[dry field]

You could kill two giants licking before they finish, now it's a timely impossibility

[ashen frigate]

I believe we agree that the close range / hipfire accuracy nerfs are well deserved

Even though it was hilarious to use it as a "long range shotgun"

[grand glen]

Mhm!

That yes

But please @ mods, give me back 3 bullet magazine

That's what I miss the most, even the delay between shorts can be tolerable

[ashen frigate]

If mods had power over those changes, they would be "10 Chambers Devs" instead :D

[lusty bramble]

that's a good one cho

are you also going to be moderating the dens of wolves discord

[grand glen]

Oof you're right my bad ahah

@ devs

🫡

[olive robin]

did you all know

players/bots have an occiput hitbox

you do extra damage to your allys by shooting them in occiput

[ocean spindle]

i dont think thats true but i am unsure

[olive robin]

i tried it on a bot

i shot it in the head from the front using burst pistol

[floral acorn]

shooting backs has always hurt more than frontal- .. but occi-box separately, thats new 🙂

[olive robin]

it didnt down it

i need to test the back vs occi

did 10 to the back of head, 9 to back

[ocean spindle]

pretty sure its like always the same for teammates

its always a x2

but

[sturdy glen]

thats just rounding

[ocean spindle]

i guess i havent tried occi hits

[sturdy glen]

the 10 vs 9, that is rounding not a multi

[olive robin]

nvm it might just be back

[ocean spindle]

it might just be anything

try shootin from front

[earnest compass]

Does more spawn locations make it so more sleepers spawn during an alarm or is the same amount spawned just more split up?

[spiral magnet]

Are turrets able to friendly fire?

[earnest compass]

yes

sniper turret will one shot unless you're at 100%

does like 96-98% of your health

[spiral magnet]

okay so it makes sense to deploy them further away from an alarm door so you have room to move to the alarm spots?

[eternal quartz]

Hey, me and my mate keep dying at the end extraction alarm, can anyone tell me how to survive them?

We can't outrun the enemies before sprint running out and dying, so what are you supposed to do?

[ocean spindle]

usually its a mix of runnin to extract, and shootin or meleeing enemies if they are in front
if ur havin too much trouble u could use some foam or mines in preparation before pulling the HSU scan, or run with ur melee charger in case u find any enemy immediatly kill it

[ocean spindle]

yeah, usually sentries aim at thepoint of entrance of enemies or some chokepoint u feel u can hold

and if a scan goes in front of it

u can always pick the turret back again

[spiral magnet]

Fair enough, after first time playing yesterday I started soloing stealth to experiment and the first alarm door went without any damage pretty much. Crazy how me and my mate fucked up the stealth and alarm doors yesterday

[ocean spindle]

yeah it kinda always comes down on tools n stuff
also sneak solo slowly its usually good but then u find a group of 3 4 together

and uh die which happens to me a lot

[spiral magnet]

I can imagine, yeah I am more learning how the alertness works. Knowing that I can freely crouch around as long as sleepers are dormant without repercussions is great knowledge. I thought it was traditional stealth with sightlines etc.

Thanks for the info!

[earnest compass]

yeah, they like echolocate

movement they can detect

and flashlights

they no likey flashies

probably played too much DBD

[spiral magnet]

and apparantly flashlights only when aimed at them....
I thought it was like a raiju from phasmophobia as in they sense electronics

[ocean spindle]

nah :3

buddies only vibe

[spiral magnet]

very good

one more question, whats the best first mission for first timers

[ocean spindle]

R1A1, or s the guide recommended R6A1
R6A1 its easier but Rundown 1 overall with its 6 missions its the easiest on the whole game

so u can do r6a1 and then just continue ur path in r1

[spiral magnet]

ah okay good to know thanks!

[earnest compass]

R1 is weird, I found a C tier level harder than the D tier lol

well R1D1 does shake things up with enemies more

[static laurel]

R1C1 109775242401004040

[olive robin]

why do trip mines one shot

we have 100 hp

trip mines do 50 right?

[ocean spindle]

and team dmg its x2

[tepid sand]

Team damage doubled

[civic wave]

players effectively take double damage

I think technically players have 25hp

[indigo merlin]

Just got the game for the free to play weekend, been wanting to try it for a long time! any tips for beginners?

[civic wave]

enemies take more damage to the back, try to keep calm and avoid panicking

[ocean spindle]

uhh every gun its useful, just some are situational so dont dismiss one out of the blue if u didnt liked it for the level
uh enemies detect more when they glow, so if u kill one of their buddies while its glowin at a medium distance it can alert, usually its better to wait till no ones glowin

and always be urself

[civic wave]

if 1 or 2 enemies wake up you might be able to kill them with melee instead of shooting them

[indigo merlin]

nice, I played through the tutorial solo mission, super sketchy by yourself, but i got some of that stuff down

how do lock melters work?

are they for doors, or crates?

[civic wave]

They work on smash locks (padlocks) and hack locks, which can be found on doors or boxes/lockers

[indigo merlin]

gotcha

[civic wave]

they're completely silent to enemies as well, useful in some situations

[indigo merlin]

oh interesting

also could you explain artifact heat please?

[civic wave]

artifact heat is a multiplier that affects how much progress each artifact gives you towards each booster
100% heat = 0.15 progress per artefact (booster given when you reach above 1 or another whole number)
50% heat would be 0.075 progress, etc etc

your heat decreases when you pick up artefacts in a level, and increases when you pick up artefacts in a different level of the same rundown

[indigo merlin]

I see, so multiplier for picking up artifacts to slowly unlock boosters?

[civic wave]

yep, pretty much

[indigo merlin]

thanks!

[spare heath]

If anyone completed steam achievement "The Inner", please guide me 😭

[ocean spindle]

which ones that

ohh

eh just play

u will get it eventually

[spare heath]

been trying to get this shit for couple hours tho...

I guess just dropping and going up doesn't work

[ocean spindle]

i mean u dont really dont have to do anything, just like play
idk if it counts like going bak to lobby as part of the progress

id say just keep on completin missions and

u will eventually just unlock it, its a shadowy one

just goes along in the background

[spare heath]

I completed all the mission. Just wanna know if there is something that I am missing. Did you get it?

[dry pumice]

Wouldn't be surprised if its bugged in one way or another. Wait for a patch and maybe create a #1049599987878723635 or something

In R8D1 anyone remembers the zone number with the pit?

[lilac fulcrum]

This ach is longer than just completing R8 levels. Just keep completing levels and you'll get it 🙂

[dry pumice]

It appears he's implaying he completed all of them

[lilac fulcrum]

I have the utmost confidence that the ach is not broken and there is just a misunderstanding in the time required to complete it. Some of the ach are not a "let's speedrun and complete them all in one day", they will take some time to do.

[dry pumice]

Hmmmmm.

Noted.

[spare heath]

I know I will eventually get it but I am pretty sure I descended more than 200km ever since this ach came out. Hope it's not a bug 😂

[tardy ingot]

Thats a casual 200 clears damn

[dry pumice]

@lilac fulcrum Actually whilte at it - i need to understand something about R8D1 before i proceed with creating a topic in #1049599987878723635 .
||Are all enemy spawns in the pit area scripted, every single time? And if yes: is it fair to report a wonky one?||

[lilac fulcrum]

i'm about to go to bed so just toss a report

[next spire]

is it normal that i queue up for r1 with my friend, then select match making inside the lobby, and then we're suddenly put into a r7 group? its happened like 10 times repeatedly ?

[austere sorrel]

How to do overload of r8c1??

[ocean spindle]

in matchmaking i think so
id recommend much more using the LFG channels

they are here in this server and its mission specific

the instructions are in https://discord.com/channels/408196129470152705/653623062964731920

just some advice!
always ask to not be carried, make sure that everyone joinin ur lobby joins ur voice channel
and if you are new be sure to do the tutorial first [Training] and start on rundown 1 since its the simplest one

[next spire]

yeah ive played before just curious as to why it would take us out of an already setup lobby to into a random mission.

[tardy ingot]

Matchmaking is different from hosting a lobby

[dry pumice]

Probably something's up with how filters of it work... Not sure myself, haven't used the thing in months.
If you're trying to fill the lobby with random people - might as well use local LFG channels, its far more reliable.

[civic wave]

it's because matchmaking doesn't respect your choice of mission

it'll put you into whatever level of the tier

[glossy mason]

Does anyone experience lags rn?

like timers freezing monsters not dying

[civic wave]

desync, so a connection issue

[glossy mason]

it was happening to everyone on the lobby so servers issues? idk

[ashen frigate]

Most likely host issue then ; since whoever hosts the game acts as the server for the other players

[civic wave]

maybe they could be intentionally abusing something but eh

[half delta]

The game has a common thing with my friends where the game crashes either mid game or during the decent. How would you fix that? Or would that just be on their end

[modest monolith]

Weird. I've never had any issues since the update.

[undone galleon]

hey, I'm new to GTFO and I love the game, even bought it after trying it out during the free weekend but one question sits on my mind
is rundown 8 the final one? is there going to be any more new content? I mean, it's described as the final one, bringing the end to the story
maybe it's my fomo speaking but did I miss the party?

[tepid sand]

Long story short yes

[ocean spindle]

even with the ending of r8 tho theres still, tons of content

[topaz anvil]

4 years late 😔

but again, you've got all of r1-r7 first

[civic wave]

try having one person load in first and then the other people join once the levels loaded

[half delta]

I’ll try that, thanks Chief

[undone galleon]

darn it, knew I should've gotten it after payday 2 ended

[sterile hull]

I have been playing for a while now and love playing but infection levels are the one thing I have a hard time with. Not because of how it effect actual gameplay but the effect it gives your screen. I get very motion sick with the swaying the screen does. Is there any way to disable the screen effect? (didn't see one in base game but don't mind downloading a mod if needed)

[visual sonnet]

is there a recommended order to take stages in? ie R1 > R2 vs R1A1 > R2A1

[civic wave]

normally it's said to start on R1, if you get stuck ask for help, if something is really getting you down feel free to move onto the next rundown

[minor fractal]

Apparently suicide by mine works.

But you should probably just do it last, lol.

[half delta]

What’s the best way to do ||uplinks||?

[civic wave]

have one person sit on the terminal and the others defend, scope into the screen from the side to see the required code slightly before the codes pop up on your screen

if it's a corrupted uplink, you just have 1 person on uplink, 1 person on codes terminal, and clear communication

[half delta]

What’s the recommended tools to have?

[civic wave]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

you can get away with anything

either mines and foam with permafoaming or funnel with sentries

[olive robin]

use melee and land every hit on the enemy most likely to hit you

do this without a single mistake, and its the optimal option

saves ammo and does the job

[half delta]

How do I melee a ||snatcher|| lol

[civic wave]

with finesse

[earnest compass]

Very carefully

[half delta]

[olive robin]

strike thrice with one blow

he who strikes first wins the battle

strike when your enemy thinks you to be resting, rest when your enemy is prepared for your strike

or

just have 3 friends with you also aiming at it

[soft crater]

you SMITE the Crawling creature with the Hammer as the Fore Fathers Woods, Dauda, Hackett, Bishop bestowed upon you

[earnest compass]

Do ||snatchers|| ever appear sleeping or are they only during alarms

[narrow niche]

nope

[earnest compass]

what

nope what

[narrow niche]

no.

[soft crater]

in vanilla game. you never see sleeping snatchers

[narrow niche]

:3

[earnest compass]

Ok thank you that makes more sense

[narrow niche]

what was so unclear about no

[soft crater]

sleeping snatchers do exist ( some modded rundowns use it )

[earnest compass]

It wasn't a yes or no question

[soft crater]

[civic wave]

if you take only the first half of the sentence, it's a yes or no question
but if you take only the first half of the sentence, what are you even doing

[earnest compass]

Exactly

[narrow niche]

uwu

[soft crater]

owo

[visual sonnet]

gotcha, thanks

I assume most people here assume voice chat for lfg?

[polar pike]

I’m having some trouble understanding where my objective is in the first mission, it says that it’s in Zone 52 area E but I’ve scoured that area top to bottom and haven’t found it. Could it be that it’s in another area in the same Zone or is it just a little bugged?

[stuck thunder]

It should be in there, try pinging it on a terminal if you can't find it

[polar pike]

I have tried that a couple times and it just repeats that it’s in Zone 52 area E, I ended up getting stuck so I have to restart anyways, maybe it’ll fix itself

[stuck thunder]

The ping command shouldn't tell you where it is but actually put a waypoint on your screen SHOWING you where it is, not telling you

[polar pike]

It was doing that as well, maybe I was just not reading something right then, ah well, thanks for the help Chulip

[stuck thunder]

If it's still being annoying you can ping me and I can join you or watch you stream to make sure we know why something isn't working

[polar pike]

Will do, thanks for the offer and solution

[stuck thunder]

np np

[ocean spindle]

rmember ur lookin for a pod, not a box nor locker nor anything, a big human sized pod looking box that says on it written in text HSU

for next time

[polar pike]

Ahh gotcha gotcha, my first time playing the game so I had no clue

[ocean spindle]

its ok its funky to search for it without a reference but it is, there somewhere
it just can be overlooked

cause that tile is

similar to the pod itself lol

[timid grove]

choose numbers 1-18 1-14 1-11

[olive robin]

you no fun

[earnest compass]

6 6 6?

huehuehue

[timid grove]

done

[earnest compass]

What's goin on here

[timid grove]

its bullpup chokemod and 2nt bat

[earnest compass]

that's actually not bad

for a loadout

bullpup reload is really painful but it's practically a laser beam

[ocean spindle]

bat supremacy

[earnest compass]

Do giant shooters have the same limb destruction stun as giant strikers do?

[olive robin]

yes but the head wont break and they have 150 hp

giants have 120

[earnest compass]

Ty

[olive robin]

this means you should target the head

since u do a lot of dmg that way

plus they cant melee you

so they are honestly less of a threat using melee weapons

[earnest compass]

Oh I know, just curious on game mechanics itself

[modest monolith]

small advice for killing big shooters (by hammer) : Have at least 1 person aim for the occiput. It reduces the giant's hp significantly by 50%.

[earnest compass]

Occiput hit is 4x, so 20 times 4 would be 80 so it'd be left with 70

[modest monolith]

i don't really know much of the statistics, it's my own experience lol

[winter chasm]

question, does the server not have specific regions anymore like NA and EU to find a group anymore?
or is it just lfg beginners where i can lfg?

[modest monolith]

bruh there's still channels dedicated for each region. Wdym ?

[winter chasm]

i cant find the regions anywhere lmfao

[modest monolith]

Maybe you accidentally click on the scrolling shorcut "Looking for group"

i still see all 10 channels in the Looking for group section

[ocean spindle]

check id:customize

[timid grove]

choose numbers 1-18 1-14 1-11

[rugged lodge]

R8c1’s overload is painful

[half delta]

what does the ||glithced red scan mean in r8d1||?

because were just staring at it unsure of what to do

[mossy aurora]

Step in it

😬

[timid grove]

what gun optics match cus it seems DMR and machine guns optics match and i like having maching optics

[half delta]

ah thats just great

[mossy aurora]

[half delta]

well the first one is forced

[spare heath]

appreciate it!

[balmy plaza]

can the knife still kill the scouts?

[tepid sand]

Yes

[balmy plaza]

watching a video from a year ago says it can one shot the scouts if in the back of the head only

[ocean spindle]

yeah still correct, full charge to the back of the head
tho it is hard to do

[balmy plaza]

trying to learn how to use the knife but its hard to kill some of the sleepers who instantly shoot at you

[ocean spindle]

the shooters u can strafe, like just go WA and mvoe quickly to one side and back to the main path
u will get the hang of it with time, its a timing thing

if ur shootin u can also hold a corner, or while aiming at ur subject, just go to one side as the projectile its kinda close to u

it wont give it time to react and itll miss

[past star]

do we know if the auto gen log counts toward the 188 logs?

[ocean spindle]

no it doesnt
pretty sure it doesnt its present in every terminal in game

so instead of 188 it would be like... 350 or somethin

but u can always test by like readin it cmpletin the level and seein if it counts

[tepid sand]

It doesn't

We read an auto log

Didn't count

[past star]

👍

[past mesa]

BREAD KNOWS ALL LOGS LOCATION EXPECT ONE

[ocean spindle]

lol

[tepid sand]

Does he have all the ones for R8?

Some of them are in places where you don't expect them to lol

[devout heath]

@shadow flower i have a question for yoy back on r5 there was 4 secondary objectives main, high, extreme and overloed. Why did extreme get removed and why did high get changed to secondary???

Sorry for the bad spelling im on my phone rn and it has swip spelling or somthing

[topaz anvil]

There were 3

[devout heath]

Really

[topaz anvil]

High extreme and overload
High became main,
Extreme became secondary

[devout heath]

Ok

Weard

So why did they get renamed

[topaz anvil]

Iirc it was confusing people

[devout heath]

Ok

Ty

Whats so important about the logs for r8 i mean the lore we know it ends but why is everyone lookimg for the logs

[hazy wedge]

Achievement

[devout heath]

Ok

[hazy wedge]

Steam achievement

[devout heath]

I thought it was to be sure that mabye a new game like gtfo could be well seen or known

Sad the game is over

[ocean spindle]

probs final answers on some stuff, cause overall the story is over but there were some things here and there that also couldve closed

[devout heath]

You know im hopeing that mabye there will be some fangame or somthing that makes a new story of lore on gtfo aka a new game thats all i want i dont play the heist games that 10chambers make i play gtfo for life.

[indigo herald]

can you zoom in when using a sniper?

[ocean spindle]

no, the zoom aiming down sights its all u have

which its i think the most zoom of any weapon in game

[humble dove]

whats the new game called that the dev team for gtfo made?

[past mesa]

[cosmic owl]

trying to duo w/ 2 bots in r2e1 makes me

[narrow niche]

uwu

[cosmic owl]

got passed the error alarm and into 4th surge multiple times but the backtracking with the cell and neonate is exhausting

[narrow niche]

just beat it

i know theres duo and solos with bots done with r2e1 but aghhhhhhhhhh betterbot seems really enticing

[narrow niche]

theres solo

pure

;3

[cosmic owl]

yeah i saw those too

just exhausting to take an hour to get back to the error alarm only to make a mistake or the bot not shooting during the 4th surge and wipe

[narrow niche]

lfg ig

[cosmic owl]

my partner and i are shy to lfg so thats why we're try harding with bots

Hey can somebody here explain to me how terminal commands work?

[cosmic owl]

just a little anxious with strangers

[narrow niche]

So far I only know how to ping an item, but I think there are more commands you can type out

[narrow niche]

you could

put in

to the termi

[cosmic owl]

we have lfg before in discord and while the pugs were nice, we prefer playing alone i suppose? i can ask her if she wants to lfg again lol

[narrow niche]

ah

[silent cipher]

hey sorry if this has been asked before but why are the steam achievements weird?

like yesterday "bare minimum" and "chemically approved" had a 0.1% completion, and "prisoner deamed fit" has a 3%. now all three are only 0.1%

[surreal lake]

I think the updated tutorial has them, but just type in "COMMANDS", play around with it.
As for useful ones:
List key (to check any keys in the mission)
Query insert whatever objective you're looking for
List u e_zone number checks for items in a zone.

[tardy ingot]

You mean the % went down for one of them? Thats weird ye

The reason for the achievements to be low in general is that they only got added this friday

[silent cipher]

Oh that's wack

I assumed they had been around for awhile but the free week just messed up stats

[narrow niche]

free weekend moment

[tardy ingot]

They are new ye

[indigo herald]

just a dumb question, does the AI enemies in GTFO notice if you use in-game voice chat like will they aggro?

[tiny fox]

Is there tk in this game

[tardy ingot]

No

[tardy ingot]

Yes

[indigo herald]

wait really? someone said that if you talk in-game or use the in-game voice chat enemies will hear you and they likely go aggro

[tardy ingot]

they wont

[narrow niche]

haha no

:3

[floral acorn]

would be cool if they did tho

[cosmic owl]

in r2e1, how much resources (if at all) should a group look for between the area of the start of the error alarm and before starting 4th surge door?

[silver fable]

I'd just take whatever you stumble upon in first zone

in second zone it's usually not hard to clear the place out of res

similar in third zone

[cosmic owl]

we find ourselves having 0 tool going into the error alarm so we try to find the first zone. during that, we burn other resources and find ourselves lacking when we start the 4th surge and/or the second zone with the scouts and giants

[silver fable]

what? there are only 2 surges during the error section

[cosmic owl]

not sure our lack of res is because we’re spending too much time…albeit we spend time having to go back and forth carrying cell and neonate cus we’re only duo + bots

1st surge after error/4th surge total

[silver fable]

...yeah you want to progress fast, especially through first zone

you shouldn't use much tool at all before the surge imo

[civic mist]

Theres a supply zone you can go into before you start error if you need resources

[silver fable]

yeah you should be able to ensure you're well stocked going into error

[cosmic owl]

by “supply zone”, is it the other door in zone 600?

where it requires a cell?

[silver fable]

requires a cell, gives back a cell

[cosmic owl]

its not the neonate room right?

[silver fable]

no

I believe it's a blood door

[cosmic owl]

hmm ok ill check out that zone then

yeah the blood door

so you rec going in there after getting neonate but before error then?

[silver fable]

yes

[civic mist]

if you need the resources then yes

[cosmic owl]

thanks ill try that then, going into with at least some tool would be immensely helpful

are there mobs in that room? ive never opened it nor seen it opened in povs

[silver fable]

yeah there are shadows

it's kinda like a third one of those zones that you get cell/turbine from after the surge at the start of the level

but somehow easier

[cosmic owl]

hmm i see ill check that out then. would you say its even worth going back to a blood door like in the area before 2nd surge to resupply?

[silver fable]

can be, depends on your res

[cosmic owl]

easier in what sense? theres probably still shadow giants right?

[silver fable]

yes

[cosmic owl]

do you know if theres a scout in that blood door in zone 600 like there’s a scout in zone either 598/599 before the second surge

[silver fable]

I don't remember, maybe not?

[hidden ridge]

If you really need it, yes, but to be fair it's probably going to make more of a difference knowing where to go rather than having a bit more resources, really

Also I dont remember if that zone has another cell, and you can use the cell for opening that zone to skip getting a cell in the first error zone instead

Which helps since that zone is a bit of a maze tbh

[wind wren]

Are limb hitboxes on giants wonky? I'm either getting skill issued hard or the game is being inconsistent again. When meeleing them I'm sometimes not breaking a limb that I clearly hit (w fully charged hammer) or a entirely different one, like when going for arm suddenly his chest is gone or his leg. Previously this wasn't a problem cuz it staggered anyway but after stagger nerf I'm noticing it quite often (and randomly loosing 40hp bcs of it)

[manic gull]

Yeah Ive seen the key one in the tutorial actually but I havent checked out the rest so thank you for telling me the essentials

[cosmic owl]

this is bc the terminal in the zone 600 blood door is in the front vs the other blood door(598/599), the terminal is all the way at the end?

[mossy aurora]

no scout in resource zone

[cosmic owl]

iirc, that that one extra cell you can either use to get more res or use it for the 4th surge alarm instead of having to find the cell so idk if there will be an extra cell if i open the fog blood door

[hidden ridge]

:\ Now I'm wondering if I'm getting zone numbers mixed in, to confirm ||600 is in the pit zone/room that had 2 scouts and was after the second surge, right?||

[cosmic owl]

yeah

[brisk swift]

I usually skip it and don’t remember, but you can always list the blood door zone using the “cell” or “u” keyword to see if it has a cell

[hidden ridge]

In any event one of those res zones wants a cell and that's the only one I'd consider skipping to keep a cell, unless there's one inside it (I think I only opened that zone once since subsequent runs I didnt need it and would rather save time)

[cosmic owl]

makes sense, i think we rather keep the extra cell so we dont have to look for one for the 4th surge during error alarm

which means the blood door in 598/599 might be our best chance to res up?

[hidden ridge]

Yeah the 2s up are perhaps your best bet

If you REALLY want also remember to stock up on fog reps

[brisk swift]

No, this is incorrect

601 DOES have a power cell alongside more resources and easier clearing than those other two

[cosmic owl]

we’ve been doing that too, just hard to throw when its only duo and bot commands :(

[brisk swift]

You should stick to 601 and probably skip the earlier blood door you didn’t need to do

[cosmic owl]

if it gives a cell, we’ll give that a try to feel out the zone then

[brisk swift]

Good luck. You’ll fight ||the same enemies as the other blood doors, meaning shadows and big shadows, but no scouts. The lights are out too while you’re in there making it easier to see them.||

[tardy ingot]

Btw where are you burning so much tool? (What tools even?)

Considering 1st surge alarm doesnt require any tool

[cosmic owl]

we're bringing mines, cfoam, burst sentry

we mainly burn through our tool during 3rd surge (before neonate room) and lvl4 cluster(?) alarm before we go into neonate room

we cfoam and sentry the long ladder down to zone 600 to delay them from coming

idk if its the best method but we come out of 3rd surge and lvl4 alarm with tons of hp and ammo but no tool :(

[native sun]

You might be having hitbox override your hitscan. If you're close enough to an enemy that the very first frame of the melee swing hitbox hits them, then you won't hit where you're aiming and instead hit according to the hitbox.

[tardy ingot]

Dont foam ladder, instead just sentry and shoot then. Means you use more ammo, less tool

ladder foam itself is kinda cheesy and doesnt require sentry usage

[native sun]

For hammer the first frame of the hitbox is slightly behind and to the right of you. So you might end up 'hitting' somewhere above and to the right of where you're aiming.

You can just back up a little so that you don't hit with the hitbox and hit with the hitscan instead.

[cosmic owl]

we could do that but i feel like we’ll want to res up in 601 anyways to have the maximum chance of surviving the error alarm part

[tardy ingot]

Extra res obviously help

but its also a thing of

1. more time investment (focus)
2. more risk of dying/using ressources

[cosmic owl]

time investment isnt much an issue for us, we spent like 3-4 hrs doing r2d1 with 2 bots and just took our time. the second point is a concern i was worried about but it doesn’t sound too bad from what the other user was saying

[tardy ingot]

3-4 in 1 attempt… or over multiple?

[cosmic owl]

and with 2 bots, im not sure if we want to risk having them do more shooting in 3rd surge (lvl 4 alarm prob possible) since they melee when mobs are close and its annoying

[tardy ingot]

bots do fine if you do fine enough

but i understand the concern

[cosmic owl]

1 attempt, we basically got all the resources in each zone and we were going in half blind and looked at guides and discussed strats during it too

[tardy ingot]

3-4 oh god

[cosmic owl]

yeah we went to 5am … we made it but at what cost

[tardy ingot]

speed up fledgling

[hidden ridge]

doing r2e1 with 2 vanilla bots it's gonna be harsh, ngl

since they dont pick up stuff during alarms

[cosmic owl]

exactly i have considered betterbots so many times tbh

[tardy ingot]

Better bots make it so they carry you

[cosmic owl]

but i think going to 601 to stock up before error would help us immensely

[tardy ingot]

rather just skip it and continue in r3

[hidden ridge]

NO idea about the "no aimbot version" but IMHO if you guys really dont want to play with other players, who cares tbh

[cosmic owl]

i’d just want the feature of them picking up objectives during error. wish we can select bot features in the mod

[hidden ridge]

I've heard the latest version lets you turn aimbot off

Never tried it

[tardy ingot]

its kinda sad that its not just qol true

[cosmic owl]

it does yeah

[faint flame]

where is Zone 140? R8B1

nvm

[devout whale]

Is the "Low Tech" achievement working for anyone? i did it twice but it didn't unlock :(. I did use consumable mines and foams found in the level, might that be the cause?

[lilac fulcrum]

What expedition did you do?

[devout whale]

r1c2

[trail pier]

Somebody has a problem that the password to the secret terminal in R8A2 has stopped working?

[devout whale]

and playing alone with 3 bots, if that gives any insight

[lilac fulcrum]

What tools did the bots have?

[devout whale]

all four had sentries on us

[lilac fulcrum]

And none of the bots placed their sentries down?

[devout whale]

nope, i never told them to and they never did

they did pick up tool refills and they used them one use on each of us at start, maybe that's a possible issue?

[narrow niche]

it changed uwu

[heavy spire]

what main wep should I use for sleepers and waves

[narrow niche]

hel shotty 🙏

but really anything you find usable

most guns can kill now, even helpiss technically

[heavy spire]

might just use PDW

[narrow niche]

nice weapon

[heavy spire]

I started off with heavy

[narrow niche]

also nice weapon

[heavy spire]

but I dont like the thermal compared to the heavies scope

[narrow niche]

heavy is better if you dont use the thermal

[heavy spire]

hmm

I liked the fire rate over it but eh

ill try it again

[narrow niche]

hm

you could try carbine

its burst

[heavy spire]

I did on R1C1

never liked burst but ill try it more

[soft crater]

By heavy

I assume you mean HAR

[regal inlet]

will it be possible to know how many logs are on the level and left to collect?
usually in collecting games there's something like this (no offense)

[dry pumice]

Not as if yet, now.
I'm sure someone will write a dedicated guide though... Eventually...

[cloud fox]

"beat c tier with no one using tool ability"

no one used tools, nor told bots to use their tools (gave them c foam launcher). cheevo didnt pop.

is it cus i had bots and it needs players or is it cus i used grenade/mine that i found in the enviroment?

or heck, is it cus friend joined mid mission (brought mine deployer but never used it)

[proper ridge]

I feel dumb asking this, but I'm seeing people LFG for like A2, B4, D2, heck even an E2 for R8, but yet I only see 6 levels, so how?

[ruby wasp]

You have to ||clear E1|| to unlock ||the other 6 levels||

[lyric mist]

Guys what's a good level to practice fast stealth?

[dry pumice]

Any, really.

[lyric mist]

Yeah ok, but I was looking for a level with possibly a bunch of rooms to clear before any alarms

So I can practice solo

[devout bridge]

Tried it with 3 bots, didn't get achievement. Saw someone else who also did not get it with 3 bots. One dev said you could use cfoam nades and tripmines, so the problem is probably the bots

Haven't tried with 4 players yet so can't confirm

[spiral magnet]

How do weapon sounds aggro sleepers in this game? Is there a range for it? Does it depend on weapon as well?

[civic mist]

sound travels 50m, every door/room divider takes 20m off of that

for guns that is

[olive robin]

50 m radius around the gun though

[spiral magnet]

cool, and it does not take into account open doors I assume

[olive robin]

Open Door reduce volume by 20m

Closed completely block it

[spiral magnet]

oh shit, good to know thanks

[olive robin]

If you are in a room against the wall, in room A for example, and on the other side of the wall is an enemy in room B, if you shoot your gun and the door between room A and B is open, it will alert them

[civic wave]

probably

[olive robin]

Sound can travel through walls if the door for those rooms is open

[civic wave]

oh that was a statement and not a question

[olive robin]

Yea lol

[civic wave]

as long as there's an open path, no matter how convoluted, and you're close enough, you can wake enemies in rooms

[olive robin]

You can literally have an open door a hundred meters away and wake up enemies in the other room as long as you are close to them in the room you are in

[spiral magnet]

was already wondering how shooting them would work if I am forced to shoot something

but good to know that if I freshly enter a room and the one before me is cleared I can relatively easily just shoot without the whole complex aggroing

[craggy pier]

Hello, probably a lot players asking about it, but can someone tell me the difference between difficulty? Because I don't understand which letters/rundowns I need to choose in matchmaking option. I'm fairly new to this game, so I can't even understand the basics. Is there any good guides on yt that explain a lot, but not with some hard terminology? Would like even to watch 1-2 hours guide, because after tutorial a lot things aren't clear for me. Ty :p

[paper surge]

Use a discord lfg channel instead of matchmaking. No one uses matchmaking really. As for difficulty, a is easiest and e is hardest usually. Although some rundowns are harder than others.

[craggy pier]

Got it, ty

[olive robin]

Rundown 1 is the simplest and easiest

Kind of an intro to the game

[cloud fox]

hey alright thanks, can you just disable the bots or it HAS to be 4 peeps?

[prisma zodiac]

Hi I have question idk why bot is not come to Objective so it's some body have like this ?

i'm play in R8B2 and must to stand in the yellow circle point but bot its not come in the point . . .

[floral acorn]

they do that. lock, unlock.

or, fasterbotcheese, for hackett, press f3.

[lucid ether]

Anyone knows how to get the code for ||the secret terminal in R8A2?|| (SPOILERS)

[cunning jolt]

do you think gtfo's price will go further down for the winter sale or is this the lowest it'll be

[tardy ingot]

probably not lower considering this is their all time lowest + anniversary

[hidden ridge]

yeah no also 24 euros is a very nice price tbh

[rain python]

They typically do 20-30%. Winter sale would prolly see another 40%

[frigid jacinth]

HI, new player here just bought the game, is there a reconnect feature if you disconnect from the game?

[floral acorn]

u can rejoin a game

[fierce walrus]

if you’re host then after dcing the lobby is gone, unless someone else became host. Then they can reinvite you

If youre client you can just rejoin

[floral acorn]

the new host of game can get the lobby code (might change) and ex-host can join as client, even reclaim his slot 1 woods place

[frigid jacinth]

Ah ok, been having issues with my PC just turning itself off randomly so dont want to hop into anything unless there was that feature

[floral acorn]

but he's no longer host mind u

yeah rejoining totally works, mid-game-joins work, host migration works ish

mind u, after checkpoints all bets are off, your mileage will vary

then once weekly there's a steam/playfab maintenance thing that will break lobbies, reconnect or midjoin will be impossible as steam no longer has the lobby.. mon-tue at ~midnight in europe (usually)

[frigid jacinth]

wym? i havent really watched alot of the game, so still unfamiliar with mechanics

[hidden ridge]

I mean, it sounds like an issue you might want to resolve

[floral acorn]

usage of checkpoints especially many uses of cp can make things go funky, especially for mid-joiners

just restart if so, fun playing fun game 🙂

[topaz anvil]

I never had any problem with checkpoints as a midgame joiner but it would place me randomly in the room

[frigid jacinth]

Need the money to get it checked out by a repair shop. Ive done what i can with the limited tools i have now

[runic mica]

quick question, is there not a way to matchmake players for a specific spot in a rundown? or do you just have no choice in mission once u hit matchmake

like to fill empty spots

[topaz anvil]

Pretty sure you can adjust the settings to queue for any mission you have unlocked

Like you can choose the mission

[civic wave]

In game matchmaking is kinda bad

it shunts you into a random mission which can only be changed by the lobby host if everyone agrees iirc

[runic mica]

yeah i thought so

[runic mica]

this is what ive been finding, pretty annoying ngl

[civic wave]

discord lfg should serve you much better

[floral acorn]

just hit LFG, make a lobby and post it here, u can keep bishop the biotracker-bot and LFG the other 2 slots

... not here, on the lfg channels

[runic mica]

awesome thank you

[static roost]

hiya, struggling with R4D1 for a while now and im wondering if anyone's got any workarounds for staggered wave spawns after the first high intensivity test
example:
some enemies spawn REALLY late when we have to clear the bridge with 2 scouts and the class 4 alarm room

so far this has cost us a lot of time and we sometimes cant reach the terminals in time due to this

[tardy ingot]

hold inside the reactor room for wave 2 and 3

[hidden ridge]

Depends on where you resist

[tardy ingot]

it splits the players (which is harder to shoot) but it makes the waves arrive as expected

[topaz anvil]

You might consider holding 2 people back to clear the wave while the others kill the scouts

[hidden ridge]

I held on bridge and was fine, I heard holding inside reactor is better

[tardy ingot]

only for last code do i hold bridge, but you pull wave 5 zone anyway

[hidden ridge]

REMEMBER: One step out of a room and it's already territory to fuck the waves up AFAIK

[static roost]

oh...

wave 2 we usually hold in the area between the bridge and the reactor

and final wave we usually hold in the room with the terminal that's close to the final security door we have to open

[modest ledge]

I don't know what the "old" rundowns are for Discord rule 13. Can we only LFG for the latest rundown(s) or is anything in the rundown menu the newest stuff?

[digital mural]

it means OG rundowns

[fierce walrus]

Everything in rundown menu is new

[digital mural]

everything with ALT is good

[fierce walrus]

The old rundowns are only accessible via modding

[digital mural]

and R7 and R8

[fierce walrus]

Alt R1 - R6 and R7, R8 are all „new”

[static roost]

related to this question but is there a way to tell if a wave is properly gone, aside from the music?

[hidden ridge]

Bishop has inverted voicelines for Yes/No during alarms

So that's one way I guess

[brisk swift]

Stamina, character chatter as well

[topaz anvil]

You can look at your stamina pulse. If at rest it falls to 70ish then there are no enemies

[static roost]

alright, thanks for all the help, will reattempt tomorrow

[brisk swift]

good luck with your clear

[static roost]

with this knowledge we should get a clear

[crystal reef]

what do the pulse do in the game? does it have impact appart of accuracy?

[topaz anvil]

Sprint speed

Low pulse = higher speed

[crystal reef]

oh, didnt notice

[river dove]

what's with the lockdown door in R8A1 at the beginning?

[floral acorn]

placeholder for later. cant open. contains nothing but a few lockmelts and glowsticks.

which u cant get. 🙂

[river dove]

ohh okay, weird

[ashen frigate]

The door makes sense later though.

[floral acorn]

so cool ❤️

[ashen frigate]

(I hope you will like how)

[river dove]

hmm now I'm interested

[ashen frigate]

This Rundown construction is very well thought out.

[floral acorn]

all ugotta do is ||finish e1||

[river dove]

but I only play one map with my friends per week :_:

[floral acorn]

obsession will run its course in time, have patience.. 🙂

[steel carbon]

I just noticed the game doesn't have cloud saves, since I started it on a new pc and the save seems reset
Can I just copy the files over from my old pc - if so, where are they?

[civic wave]

Clears from the early access versions of the game don't carry over to the current version (same for og r6)

[steel carbon]

When was early access?
I can't even remember the last time I played, but it's been... I think a year or so?

But the game seems to make me go through the tutorial again

[civic wave]

early access was 2019-december 2021
og rundown 6 was december 2021-june 2022

so basically any clears from before june 16 2022 (rundown 7 release) are gone from the current version of the game

[steel carbon]

Sure, but what about cosmetics and stuff?

[civic wave]

any cosmetics you've ever gained stay with you

there is no way to lose cosmetics afaik

[steel carbon]

Yeah, which is why it seems weird that the character I got isn't mine
I'm currently going through the tutorial - do you just get a preset cosmetic outfit there?

[digital mural]

theres a default outfit yes

[civic wave]

nope

well wait

there is a default set of cosmetics that you're stuck with until you unlock new ones

[steel carbon]

I'll just finish this, load into an actual mission, and get back to you on if I got my items

[soft crater]

If anything there is no way to obtain old cosmetics through Normal means.

[steel carbon]

Yeah okay, false alarm, looks like I got my stuff
The fact that it didn't say there are cloud saves on the steam page and that I was prompted to do the tutorial again threw me off

It's not like I got anything special, but it would've still been a bother if it was gone

Why are there suddenly so many hammers?
They seem to all just have the same stats

[digital mural]

old hammers

they brought the skins of the old hammers

a lot of people were asking for them apparently

same for spear

[soft crater]

And also gave new melees a new skin each

If they ever update the game again. They should get more just to even it out

[steel carbon]

Hm, I see
I suppose that policy of just throwing away old content didn't work out, eh?
Explains why there's suddenly so many rundowns - although even when there was just one it was hard to find people for the exact mission you want to play
I assume that's even harder now?

[soft crater]

Well these Alt rundowns are re-creations of the old rundowns

[digital mural]

yeah kinda
people dont use matchmaking at all
so LFG is your best shot at finding people

and the alt rundowns are a continuation of the story

[soft crater]

It was more so playing OG Old rundowns is like downpatching the game

[steel carbon]

I know, but even in LFG it wasn't easy
You'd usually have to roll with what others were doing, if you even had those missions unlocked

At least that was my experience

[digital mural]

idk about your experience in the past (or the game in general)

but LFG right now is pretty good

i usually find people fast

[steel carbon]

Alrighty then

I'll go practice a bit solo and then see if I can find a team for one of the first few missions

[digital mural]

good luck

[soft crater]

It's more just finding people for specific levels tbf

Some levels are just kinda dead

[digital mural]

at least a lot of people play the first levels

so he wont have much trouble for that

[soft crater]

Next to some R1 players sitting there for like 30mins to an hour waiting

Some r1s get filled fast idk

It's hit or miss

[digital mural]

R1C1

lol

[soft crater]

R1C1 is the beginner hardstuck

[lilac fulcrum]

We don't use steams clould save functionality. Instead we use a database on Microsoft Azure to save level completions, boosters, and vanity items

[half delta]

Is there a way to kill sleepers in ||the red zone|| without having to step in it? Or is that just rng?

[topaz anvil]

The red zone?

[foggy ridge]

shoot them

[ruby wasp]

The corrupted scans in D1

[half delta]

Quietly preferably since big chargers are a pain in the butt

[foggy ridge]

exactly why you should shoot them

[half delta]

Plus the room is a respawn room

[latent obsidian]

Do we know what you need to do to count a lore log as read?

[turbid horizon]

somebody in your lobby has to read it

[latent obsidian]

ty Dak

[turbid horizon]

yup! to be safe, I read them all myself

[lilac fulcrum]

don't need to read yourself, just someone in your team while you're both in the expedition just has to read it

[turbid horizon]

k, thanks D0c!

[hard crescent]

Will there be additional balance patches or has 10c officially moved on? There’s some weirdness in the guns still like the range/dmg on the new slug shotty.

[lilac fulcrum]

We will be doing at least one more patch for some bugs

[hard crescent]

Sweet. And Den of Wolves looks super cool!

[lilac fulcrum]

Thanks!

Have you joined the Discord server for it?

[hard crescent]

Oh I didn’t even know there was one. I got lost in the ARG on the site for like 20 minutes lol

[lilac fulcrum]

discord.gg/denofwolves

[hard crescent]

Nice, ty

[zealous torrent]

do i need to read all the auto gen logs for the achievement

[dry pumice]

I really hope you guys do one more balance pass, because there's some stinkers out there. Spear had not once was even close to rivalling hammer in... Anything, really.

[fierce walrus]

nope

that would have like 1000 logs

[lilac fulcrum]

auto gen isn't a lore log 😄

[earnest compass]

correct, if a terminal has only 1 log then you can ignore it

[spare heath]

Anyone who completed "The Inner" achievement in steam, please enlighten me. Think I tried every possible way.

[lilac fulcrum]

which one is that?

[spare heath]

It's the one you have to descend 100km in total. Just wanna know if someone actually completed this one

[lilac fulcrum]

it's certainly possible to complete it if you don't try and cheese it

[spare heath]

so you completed it?

[civic vortex]

bit confused, so for R8B2, after completing the secondary and wipe the cube, you get to extract straight away, but we never entered the main obj bulk head door, what is the difference then?

[arctic marten]

you choose one or the other

[lilac fulcrum]

Yes. You need to successfully complete the expedition for it to count

[dry pumice]

That's an ouch.

On my way to speedrun R7A1 approx 1000 times

[civic wave]

6 minute mission

[arctic marten]

just get it during the log hunt

[dry pumice]

That too, actually...

I'm shivering from dreading doing that one.

Hopefully some madlad will make a detailed guide with every log-containing terminal described in detail including its smell and social ID number

[arctic marten]

tru already posted a guide

[turbid horizon]

there is a guide

#guides-and-reviews message

[civic vortex]

how do you unlock the hidden levels in R8?

do u have to complete all story level first?

[rain python]

Beat r8e1

[somber breach]

hi guys, is there a chat here for a particular region or country?

[rain python]

There’s specific highlighted communities for regions / countries. They are separate discord servers

[dry pumice]

#hc-europe for example

[wind wren]

#gtfo-media message known bug or to be reported? also it appears in map and i can not see map and only health of my teammates. also it locks out of hosting any mission

[marble steeple]

does the giant mother's pimple count as crit dmg or base dmg?

[civic wave]

precision damage

[obsidian grove]

Lads just to clarify it takes 1 full hammer charge to the head of a shadow scout correct? doesnt need to be back of the head?

Cuz my guys head was completely blown off but still alive, im assuming i didnt fully charge it and was at 98% instead

[tepid sand]

Yes

[tepid sand]

We had this happen in R4E1, you're the second case we've heard

[obsidian grove]

hahah that sucks man

[civic wave]

you must've hit a very specific damage breakpoint

because you can break the head without killing the scout for shadows

same hp as regular scouts thuogh

[obsidian grove]

hahaha thats insane

ive played a very long time never seen it happen b4

[olive robin]

i have been told that there were some changes to evades in r8, anyone notice any differences?

[tepid sand]

Not really from my end

[narrow niche]

Happened to me in a2, the shadow scout slid down stairs slightly then screamed

Idk what that was

[olive robin]

ill get definite change list tmrw but i also didnt notice anything

[sturdy glen]

you can also break the shoulder on shadow scouts and the head disappears like on giants because its a striker model not a shooter

[narrow niche]

Hm

[woven terrace]

Hey guys I have a question so im trying to understand Rundowns and st uff, So lets say you do Rundown R1A1 . is there like different difficulties for that level in specific

Like Rundown R1A1 can have a normal version and then a Newgame +

[normal radish]

R8E2

DO WE NEED TO DO SECONDARY

[civic wave]

levels do not have variable difficulty, but later missions have little side objectives you can do if you wish which will make the mission harder/longer

the optional objectives only appear in rundowns 5 through 8 though

[woven terrace]

oh so its like the different skulls right

How do you trigger these side objectives, is it by terminal?

[civic wave]

it varies, but the usual method is picking up a bulkhead key from a box or locker somewhere, putting that into a bulkhead door control, doing a scan to select which objective you want to do, and then opening the door

[woven terrace]

ohhhh I see

[civic wave]

and then you clear the objective, get another key, and use that again to open the next objective

[woven terrace]

dod they give cosmetics once you complete them

[civic wave]

they used to, but not anymore

yeah, it's mostly for challenge/getting to play the whole level, and achievements I guess

[woven terrace]

are they still obtainable?

the cosmetics

just doing it normally

Btw I like your icon

[civic wave]

yeah, cosmetics will drop from your first clear of any level

and thanks, I shamelessly stole it from the internet because I liked it too

[woven terrace]

thank you for the help

[civic wave]

any time

[wanton sapphire]

is it just me or is R1B2 fucking gigantic compared to a1 and b1?

please tell me the maps dont get so big that it takes multiple hours to clear

[civic wave]

r1b1 and b2 should be about the same size, hell, maybe b1 is the bigger map

and some levels will take multiple hours for inexperienced players to clear, clear speed is a matter of experience

experienced teams can beat every level in the game in 1h30m or less per level
