[halcyon current]

Clearly I still have so much to learn from yall

[tardy ingot]

Ryk with the huge brain

[halcyon current]

I appreciate it tho

I am a sponge for the general advice yall have

Still iffy on DMR being better then DTR.

[tardy ingot]

i mean theres A LOT of advice there is

[halcyon current]

While I believe you that it is fundamentally better

It doesn't feel as good

[sturdy glen]

surprised youre not on hel revo yet tbh

[tardy ingot]

thats a subjective thing in the end (the feeling)

[tardy ingot]

Also this

[halcyon current]

It's aesthetically disappoints me.

I don't use the pump shotguns cause the reload animation makes my autism angry

[tardy ingot]

like theres so many techs that you wouldnt know/understand fully yet

[halcyon current]

Hel Revo does the same thing

[tardy ingot]

hell chill is the king of double hits

also btw chill, was fun to watch the runs

[halcyon current]

The single best feeling gun in this game for me so far is the HCP

[sturdy glen]

just another lethal company save

[tardy ingot]

sniper pre nerf

[halcyon current]

I'm not sure it'd have the same feeling

The HCP feels like a Resident Evil Magnum

Its the best way I can describe it

[tardy ingot]

#gtfo-media message

This man

[halcyon current]

alright i got a question

why'd sniper get nerfed to what it is if scattergun is allowed to exist?

im not super well informed about meta or anything, but the scattergun is like

[arctic marten]

sniper pick rate too high

[tardy ingot]

common believe is pickrate

sniper was balanced

it was the best giant killer and decent into bosses not named mom

now its… like decent vs giants and pretty oof vs bosses

[halcyon current]

the scattergun literally oneshotting almost anything you point it at

[tardy ingot]

well not quite

the issue is also

scattergun (while ridicolus rn) looks even better because both sniper and burst cannon arent the same anymore

sniper heavily nerfed

burst cannon moved away from giant/boss killer

to more all rounder

[halcyon current]

ive heard stories of old BC

[tardy ingot]

actual high skill high reward weapon

was king before r8 changes

[halcyon current]

it wouldve frontally one shot giants with the 5 round, right

?

[soft crater]

left them with low hp

[halcyon current]

Like "spit in the general direction" low?

[noble wind]

5 hp

Also recoil

Well pull mouse down

[soft crater]

10

[halcyon current]

its not that bad now, if it was at all comparable

[soft crater]

not accounting for if you got headshot

[arctic marten]

its better now lol

so efficient its not even funny

[halcyon current]

i really want them to put 21 rounds in the mag now

[arctic marten]

only a little worse for bosses

[surreal lake]

BC is real strong rn

[soft crater]

Current BC just lost DPS/Punching power pretty much

but it still does it's job

[halcyon current]

I don't think anyone is saying BC is bad now, just not what it was before

[noble wind]

Less thick tho
Kinda sad

[soft crater]

Never said "Bad"

[native badge]

yo question

[hardy grotto]

yes burst cannon is not the same as it was when it had burst cancel

[halcyon current]

Shoot

[native badge]

I was in a game of 3, we were about to start the security door, and all of a sudden I lag a bit, my teammates are gone and the horde has started

did I get kicked or something

[tardy ingot]

BC is still incredibly good

[halcyon current]

Ik, cause when I get irritated at a level I go "fuck this" and take BC ngl.

It's comical to kill like 4 odd giants or so in a mag

[tardy ingot]

its efficiency didnt rly change

I guess for smalls well
Instead its minimally worse vs giants and noticeably worse into bosses

[tardy ingot]

[halcyon current]

It feels really weird to use against smalls

[arctic marten]

worse for giants?

2 burst on giants is incredibly good

[tardy ingot]

you lost less dmg shooting with a main than the extra bullet

its also quicker than 2 bursting

easier i guess

but bruh

[surreal lake]

Just get behind it, gtfo players so scared of larry smh

[halcyon current]

I heard you can use BC and DMR in tandem to really effectively deal with giants, 1 burst from BC, 1 shot from DMR

[tardy ingot]

?

current BC just 2 bursts

[halcyon current]

It's what the wiki told me

[noble wind]

Old bc sure

[tardy ingot]

old BC did 1 burst
then 2 shots of any of rifle/hel revo/dmr (or 1 burst of double tap)

[craggy pier]

i wonder if these conversations would never happen if they actually put the stats in the patch notes

[halcyon current]

The wiki for this game seems kinda outdated, now that I think about it

[tardy ingot]

Well you could go for a headshot aswell

[hardy grotto]

No they’d still happen

[halcyon current]

You think I can read lol

[tardy ingot]

Yup

I mean people asked today what the command does rhat they showed off

[surreal lake]

doesn't sound like its enough dmg even with a bc headshot

[tardy ingot]

Like WHAT

[craggy pier]

reading too hard, watching too hard

[noble wind]

Mostly still will
Starved on topics has to new game+ every time someone mentions guns

[surreal lake]

you'd need at least 1 dmg booster I think

[craggy pier]

brain no work

[civic wave]

it is an unfortunate fact of life that many people are in fact dumb

[halcyon current]

Yeah, the wiki is probably just a lil out of date

[craggy pier]

have u guys thought of instead of talking about the game just go play it

[arctic marten]

NO

[civic wave]

unfortunate in the fact that seeing stupidity is bad for the brain

[arctic marten]

i already did that part

[civic wave]

I already played for 3 hours I'm not touching the game again today

[tardy ingot]

anyway
BC is still incredible
Imo worse unless you rly want small clear but then why were you running bc anyway

and the bigger issue is that it left scattergun as the undisputet boss killer

[craggy pier]

i met my daily 3 hrs of playing gtfo quota now i needing to meet my talking about gtfo for 3 hrs quota

[tardy ingot]

imagine 5 burst, burst cannon but with current recoil

[halcyon current]

I mean, no one's forcing you to look at this chat

Sorry I asked about the guns ig

[tardy ingot]

good for you that its already the next day

[arctic marten]

i met my 0 hours of gtfo played, still working on my 8 hours of gtfo talked about

[craggy pier]

im trolling idc lol talk about whatever

[tardy ingot]

[safe drum]

cant even do r4c2 with randoms

[slow stone]

main or pe

[noble wind]

gon assume its pe

main is pretty chill n boring

[safe drum]

main

they all died on the lvl 4 alarm

revived all of them twice

maybe its because im a shit host\

one of them had 900ms

[noble wind]

sounds like team skill issue

class 4 cmon bruh get better teammates

[safe drum]

idk man i did all the scans and killed all the enmies
the homing projectile followed me down the bridge and killed me 💀

[tardy ingot]

place sentries

they solo carry that lol

[hidden ridge]

what's the level 4 again

the one for ||mom zone|| or the one for ||scout zone||?

or it's the very first one?

[noble wind]

mom zone iirc

[mental furnace]

@digital mural

[cloud fox]

Is the password just randomly generated or is it cycling through a pre-set list of them?

[noble wind]

each week randomly generated

[cloud fox]

Ah, kewl, ta

[noble wind]

[dry pumice]

@civic wave do you happen to know where in R8A1, zone 70 (where first alarm scan is) is the goddamn terminal? I just cant find it

NVM, found it... Its so damn hidden.

[civic wave]

funny you asked that because I have no fuckin idea

anyway

I just run to the alarm door as fast as I can and eat shit and die

then run again because that's how grinding goes

[ocean spindle]

oh yeah its right after the room divider under the stairs of the left

[dry pumice]

Yeah, in deep ass dark corner of some glass booth at the lower gardens

[craggy pier]

I'm trying to do solos and my main struggle is doing alarms because I usually get overrun. I'm wondering what guns and strategy I should use in an alarm where I have to shoot the waves (no option of foam or mines)

[upper ginkgo]

just shoot better ngl

or find a better sentry placement

for solos it's usually better to full clear waves before doing scans

hel shotgun, combat shotty, hi cal, dmr, shotgun are good choices

[past mesa]

What level

[upper ginkgo]

if you lose your shooting momentum, you can destabilize pretty fast

[past mesa]

^

[upper ginkgo]

hence why you use the guns i mentioned before

you need to kill fast enough to give you space for scans

[past mesa]

You might be able to just use shitty high cal

Ngl

[digital wave]

I have 16GB of RAM and the game often takes up 90%, should I buy more RAM to increase it to 24GB or 32 GB

[halcyon current]

32 is the new 16 imo

[craggy pier]

currently the R2A1 class 4 but I do want to do progressively harder levels after I beat that

[digital wave]

should I buy more RAM to increase it to 24GB or 32 GB

[digital wave]

watch t-nenpi youtube , he did all the solos

[halcyon current]

32

[hardy grotto]

im gonna lose it man

[past mesa]

what is wrong beth

[halcyon current]

Well, I hope you find it afterwards

[hardy grotto]

why does everyoen watch tnenpi

this man solos e tiers with cheese strats

and no dsirespect but this isnt helpful for like

soloing b tiers

or a tiers

u can do it but whats the point

[craggy pier]

what colours your r4e1 solo

im kidding

[hardy grotto]

doorbug colour

or

[craggy pier]

lmao

[hardy grotto]

getting babies stuck in a box colour

pick ur poison

[craggy pier]

anyway the cheese strat videos are irrelevant since im never gonna try soloing those levels anyway

[hardy grotto]

hes a good solo player but doing those strats on a tiers just feels so boring

him doing it on an e tier is different imo

[past mesa]

he just shoots good

on a tiers

[hardy grotto]

ye

[digital wave]

yes, d and e tier is not for solos, thats why he need cheese strat

[hardy grotto]

yes

that is what i said

[digital wave]

I mean you can refer to his weapon choices, some levels he need to clear massive waves

[lusty bramble]

today im going to run dmr

[halcyon current]

Have fun

[hardy grotto]

today im going to run the hel revolver

[sturdy glen]

dont forget your shotgun

[hardy grotto]

mandatory

[halcyon current]

Today I will run DTR/HCP, because it's a day that ends in Y

[craggy pier]

i love hcp

[halcyon current]

Favorite special weapon ngl

[craggy pier]

same

universally useful gun

[hardy grotto]

should try the hel gun

[halcyon current]

Tbh, past the fact it's just good, it feels good to use

[craggy pier]

I have tried every gun I think

[halcyon current]

And that is because it's a Resident Evil Magnum

I've tried out most special weapons that aren't the funny short rifle

[craggy pier]

thats a lie i havent tried the short rifle

[halcyon current]

Lmao

[olive robin]

u should do all solos with the konig and slug shotgun

its more impressive

[craggy pier]

what the fuck is a konig

use english please

[halcyon current]

The sniper

[craggy pier]

💀

[past mesa]

today i will run the hel shotgun

very skilled player

[lusty bramble]

jish that was a crazy double kill on those nut cracker things

[hardy grotto]

🤯

the double kill was lame jish

but i loved the jetpack play

very cool

[past mesa]

the jet pack was sick

[hardy grotto]

besst play i think iv e seen tbh

[past mesa]

i think it is fun but some crazy jet pack plays have happened

i wish it was cheaper

[hardy grotto]

yea yea

[craggy pier]

i do not think sentry is the play

i will try mines

the giant in each wave is really problematic

[past mesa]

just play the level a few times

the giant wont be there o the 5th attempt

[craggy pier]

LOL

bet

nah I'll just mine doors and put giant height mines on the sec door

theres 5 uses of tool b4 the class 4

I'll get it eventually

[hardy grotto]

what level is this

o r2a1

[craggy pier]

yuh

[halcyon current]

<@&408548765599793173> ^^

[old mountain]

Sorted it

[frail heart]

[hazy wedge]

Anyone know how to fix input lag? It started today, not too sure what's causing it

[lone mortar]

mental input lag or?

[hazy wedge]

When I stop moving my character still moves to a certain direction, it’s like some sort of delay

[lone mortar]

so its a input lag or you keyboard is sus

[hazy wedge]

I had to reduce my frame rate cap

Maybe my pc is just dying on me

[digital wave]

what should be the setting for Fog quality

[livid stone]

Highest

[storm totem]

Im having trouble loading in with my buddy

it keeps kicking us or wont let us load in together

as soon as i load he doesnt but as soon as i leave he loads in and vice versa

anyone know how to fix that

[hidden ridge]

Might want to geet a third guy so you can pinpoint who's fucking it up

But when stuff like that happens in my experience it's either the bug that forces people with old Bulldozer AMDs, very bad pathing between the two or one of you two has mods.

[livid stone]

yall playing with mods?

[craggy pier]

done r1a1, r1b1, r7a1, r2a1, what is the next easiest level to solo?

[tardy ingot]

R6A1 is honestly easier than r2a1

[craggy pier]

what about extract

[tardy ingot]

sentry down

and shoot

only issue you could ever have is giants + low ressources

but you can just loot

[craggy pier]

res will be fine i love looting

I think shooting will be fine since enemies have alot of distance to cover

if i use like dmr or dtr

[tardy ingot]

r4a1 main is also quite chill
so is r5a1 main (just funnel)

[craggy pier]

main only is a government psyop the only way is to do all objectives

[tardy ingot]

r8c1 main and r8b2 main hitting people in the nuts

[craggy pier]

ive already forgotten

[tardy ingot]

Anyway

Free yourself of optionals only

some main runs are neat

especially for challenge stuff

[hidden ridge]

To be fair I did extreme on OG r5a2 solo, I'm sure that with scattergun r5a2 solo PE is very very doable

OG didnt have snatcher but I doubt that changes much if I'm gonna bring scattergun anyway

[tardy ingot]

Dont take scatter lol

shotgun

or any other weapon(s) that deal with mom and waves well

[hidden ridge]

Sure

[tardy ingot]

god i did it once in og with shotgun

i spend a lot of time clearing babies

[hidden ridge]

It's just that lately my brain goes "Does team have SCATTER OF GUN?" "No." "TAKE SCATTER OF GUN"

team=only me= get SCATTER OF GUN

[tardy ingot]

but then you are host

[noble wind]

Still a good gun

[hidden ridge]

for mom in r5a2 I guess it'd make SOME difference but since you know the numbers what kind of hp will I leave her with?

Also a kinda related question: did I imagine things or you CAN stagger/interrupt the birthing?

[lone mortar]

yep

you can stagger

only on late or early births

mid doesnt seem to work

even if you pump x3 dmg to it

[tardy ingot]

if you stagger during birth she will run away while birthing

[lone mortar]

late birth she sits still

early/mid birth she runs

[mossy aurora]

r6b1 is pretty straightforward

[tardy ingot]

yea

[craggy pier]

whats the hardest scan on that level

[hidden ridge]

r6b1? the one before the wave proj room

I've had it go all the way up to where terminal is in og

[craggy pier]

that doesnt help me. What class is it, what kind of scans, what tool would be most useful

[tardy ingot]

class 5 (dimished iirc)

you could argue mines can be the most useful

but realistically you gotta have a good (and moving) sentry placement

[drifting halo]

Does anyone know what the M or S stands for when there's an alarm ?

[hidden ridge]

I think M is mixed

S is sustained?

[civic wave]

S is sustain, so it will be (mostly) sustain scans

[hidden ridge]

M means it can have purple octagons/teamscans/cluster scans/normal ones

[civic wave]

M is for Mixed so there'll be several different scan types

[drifting halo]

Ooooh...

Ok thanks <3

[slow stone]

I believe even M scans are always same in all runs btw?

[civic wave]

What do you mean by that? Different mixed alarms definitely have different scans

[slow stone]

I mean that in a level they will always have same order of scans in all runs

Not across different levels tho

[hidden ridge]

yeah they dont change type

if a mixed has S scan then team then cluster

it's always gonna be that order AFAIK

of course scan 1 can be somewhere else if designed to be somewhere else

[slow stone]

Yeah wanted to make sure I'm not tripping, I believe the name is only for player, as the scan types are put in through the game data one by one

[noble sierra]

Technically it can be shared but parameters like meters a scan have to travel makes it hard

[slow stone]

Where does the bat hit start? is it mid right --> mid

[silent stirrup]

quick question, when exfilling can you survive all the waves and walk safely or do you just have to run through the chaos

[fierce walrus]

depends on the level

but usually its a mix of both

[silent stirrup]

how can you tell?

[fierce walrus]

you wanna gun down thr bigger groups

and run past singular enemies

[past mesa]

You can’t unless you kill enough

Just go to extract game out don’t worry about how many there are

[hidden ridge]

I think that more maps have endless waves at the extraction than not

[wispy jetty]

Is the precision rifle capable of one shotting scouts?

[slow stone]

yes

both back / front of head is 1 hit

[civic wave]

within damage falloff*

[wispy jetty]

I see

[raven ravine]

Is the hel revolver hip fire as good as I think it is?

[civic wave]

yes, hel revo hipfire is great

[turbid horizon]

You can take hipfire out of that

And yes

[civic wave]

remember that base game hipfire reticles are only accurate at 55 fov

[raven ravine]

Ah, thanks.

Yeah I tried it on a whim and holy hell I'm hitting way more shots. insane.

[hazy wedge]

Does anyone actually play at 55 fov

[turbid horizon]

yes

[hazy wedge]

That’s crazy

[turbid horizon]

i do not

I play at like 100-105 last I checked

[hazy wedge]

I used to play at 90, increased it to 110

[turbid horizon]

I’ve been slowly incrementing it by 5 since ALT R3

[civic wave]

install gtfo during og r5
instantly crank fov to max
never go back

[turbid horizon]

bruh

[civic wave]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[topaz anvil]

Resident 55 FOV Vet here

[turbid horizon]

I originally upped my FOV when I got my monitor, because I was used to seeing the smaller screen with lower FOV, and needed a higher one for a bigger screen

[civic wave]

I think im on a 27in monitor

[slow stone]

Im on some old square box that my father used in highschool, still works just fine

[ocean spindle]

now that i am here i guess i can ask what tools should i bring for r8a2 sec
i get the ||no tool refill anywhere in the level|| thing but like idk i still want, recommendations

[dry pumice]

3 sentries worked best for me

[noble wind]

Cfoam mine bio shotgun sentry

[dry pumice]

The only thing you worry about is that scan, at the very begining. Just funnel and put 2 sniper sentires shooting from different angles - they'll do great.

[ocean spindle]

shottie sentry? wouldnt it eat the ammo like after 5 seconds?

[dry pumice]

Not with bio.

But you gotta scan quicker

[ocean spindle]

i tried it again for a casual run of r8b3 to see what happened and it just died so fast

[ocean spindle]

bio bot

[noble wind]

Yes for the secondary

[random rune]

55 makes me feel like I've been trapped in a locker
all the way to the right is the only way to go for me

[dry pumice]

I switched 60 some hours ago, i honestly like it.

[ocean spindle]

foam mines
mh i tried that but
ugh idk idk i feel like i wasted some foam but for main i feel like i might like, die being out of tool completely

i havent like seen sec from top to bottom

so idk what happens at the end

[dry pumice]

I love being able to approach objects in the environment and take a closer look. Feels real.

[noble wind]

Fish pov is is superior

[noble wind]

What lvl

[random rune]

real gamers set their FOV to 20

[ocean spindle]

r8a2, i wasted some tool stupidly

but main scares me, specially the end

i did complete main before even tryin sec

[slow stone]

-120 fov goes crazy

[noble wind]

Reverse fish pov 💀

[random rune]

Bio bots have ruined me for human biotrackers
bots have jesus vision

[ocean spindle]

so real

[noble wind]

Cfoam the 2 side doors for the class 5
And rest of the foam for the secondary alarm

[ocean spindle]

mhm... and i just sneak everything else naturally

[noble wind]

Yes

[ocean spindle]

the room with the ||two bigs and the funny scout|| are a nightmare to like go through i have up on my last run lol i wasted some foam just dealin witht hat bitch

but i can try goin like aside it

man, well still easier than r8e1 3 bots

[noble wind]

You'll yet get it with enough tries

[ocean spindle]

lets see if i die at whatev the ending is lol
idk i was on the ||last room of the tutorial|| but it didnt seemed like the actual ending so i might, see the other ||funny path thats blocked in the original tutorial|| and see what happens

[noble wind]

Look out for the tank

[ocean spindle]

wiiiii

yayyyy

pain

[slow stone]

||If you dont die you can actually go there||

[ocean spindle]

suffering

[noble wind]

Myess

[ocean spindle]

man a tank 3 bots its a fucking horror i really hope that door has nothing

cause otherwise im not doin this mission 3 bots lol

[ocean spindle]

i dont die alll my runs ive gotten past that

[slow stone]

you gotten to the locket zone?

[ocean spindle]

i never went to it but ive gotten past it

im gonna check it in this run tho

[noble wind]

It's easy cmon slendi

[slow stone]

yeah after the scan at normal end you can go back there

nothing bad there trust

[noble wind]

Lots of fun things for sure

[tardy ingot]

Bio/mines/cfoam/cfoam

[ocean spindle]

lol

well too late

but a

[ocean spindle]

i defend its not bad but if that tank moves at all i am not doin that lol

tanks have left me ptsd after r8||d1||

[noble wind]

If you n bots have 60 or more health you can take few hits from tank while you scan the door

[ocean spindle]

yeah but i really

hope i dont

have to do that

[noble wind]

Tank is in the middle room so likely will wake up

[ocean spindle]

... well i hope its not laarmed then

alarmed

[noble wind]

There is only 1 alarm

And error after first fake extract

[ocean spindle]

waot

shit

the password already changed didnt it

...........

fuck

well there goes my attempt lol

[noble wind]

Rip

[slow stone]

How is the code gotten again?

[ocean spindle]

qwq

[ocean spindle]

run in main and ext of r8b2

[noble wind]

B2 main kraken fight then B2 secondary

[slow stone]

if you tell me terminals I can quikly get it

[ocean spindle]

nah its too long

of a thing to go for

[slow stone]

cconsole moment

[ocean spindle]

its two full runs

[slow stone]

Im not finishing them, just codes

[noble wind]

MVP for clutching

[ocean spindle]

pro gamer

[slow stone]

ok secondary left

[ocean spindle]

ur actually going for it damn qwq thank u

[slow stone]

ofc

||3RG20-AMKK6|| @ocean spindle

[ocean spindle]

thanks qwq

tons of thanks

[soft crater]

Did they really just say "B2 Main Kraken fight"

[noble wind]

Yeah
Is that not where the password is?

[slow stone]

it is during the end of main indeed

[noble wind]

Solace trippin 🤔

[ruby wasp]

one part is at the end of main, the other part is at the end of sec

[ocean spindle]

i mean not really cause main ends differently

[slow stone]

I mean yes because it literally is at main end

[ocean spindle]

i mean no cause main has a different sequence :3

ext has the funny fight main does not

[slow stone]

Yeah but the code still is at end of main so yes

[ocean spindle]

yes the code yes

not the funny fight

[slow stone]

were talking about code

[ruby wasp]

What's the point of being nitpicky anyway

[ocean spindle]

no we werent

the talk was cause of "B2 Main Kraken fight"

cause main doesnt have it

[slow stone]

#gtfo-related-questions message

[digital mural]

"B2 SEC kraken fight"

Lol

[slow stone]

Pable check dms

change the code damm

[digital mural]

thanks

[soft crater]

The point was. Kraken is not in main

I never said the password wasn't

[slow stone]

Technically it is, its just little further away

(same planet tho)

[ruby wasp]

Dawg

[soft crater]

The kraken fight.

Which is in the original message

[slow stone]

you can fight a kraken on main tho

[ruby wasp]

Hold on lemme uh

noclip through the tower to reach nemesus

Anyway if you were to do main only you'd never fight nemesus

As the path toward it is blocked once you get TP'd

[noble wind]

Oh

That's not how I remember things

[digital mural]

Kraken is in secondary

[slow stone]

Just spawn the kraken or noclip yeah

[crude glacier]

dose anyone know what the code for r8a2 rn?

[digital mural]

no

no one knows

[noble wind]

[pseudo wing]

what happened to r6dx is it called something else now or was it not added back?

[arctic marten]

all r6_x levels moved up one for r6 alt
r6bx -> alt r6ax
r6cx -> alt r6bx
r6dx -> alt r6cx

[pseudo wing]

ohhhhhhhh

thanks 👍

[craggy pier]

holy fuck short rifle is fucking hideous

[ocean spindle]

:>

[soft lotus]

whats the recommended weapons to use?

[upper ginkgo]

double tap rifle, short rifle

[frail heart]

you are evil

[native sun]

If you're new and want simple weapons to learn with while still being effective: PDW/Heavy SMG/Carbine + High Cal/Heavy Assault Rifle

[craggy pier]

tbh i wouldnt recommend hc to a new player since its alot harder to use under pressure than most other secondaries

[sturdy glen]

what, how??

[craggy pier]

recoil, not good for cc, wont save you in a panic situation

[sturdy glen]

bro if were lumping high cal in that category most specials are hard to use under pressure

we got 5 weapons with charge up, 2 headshot weapons, mf sniper, a weapon with 4 in the mag

[craggy pier]

i disagree, shotgun and combat shotgun are very easy to use under pressure, same with the machineguns

[sturdy glen]

that is not most

and I wouldnt say a new player holding down lmb with mg to be good under pressure

[craggy pier]

youre going to kill alot more enemies by holding down m1 with mg that you would with spamming hc

[neon gust]

Did they added tru in game balancing to the game already?

[sturdy glen]

maybe next patch 🙏

[craggy pier]

dw guys they will balance the game, scatter will get buffed, sniper will get nerfed and short rifle will have a 0.25x stagger multi

[neon gust]

Added 0.1 of any stat to any gun

[halcyon current]

Added 0.1 to all stats of all guns

[craggy pier]

when is the adding the stats to patch notes update

[neon gust]

Now eva its gonna over analize it on excel

Tru really out here typing a bible

Wachu yappin about

[native sun]

MGs have charge-up, which presents a bit of a barrier to learning (there's a lot of subtlety in managing bursts, when to full-auto, etc.)

Combat Shotty would be my 3rd pick for a newbie weapon, but I've seen some newbies just spam the hell out of that thing at 50m because they don't know about fall-off yet.

[ashen frigate]

Where is your R8 review video BD ? :)

[craggy pier]

thats more of a dont know how shotguns work in fps games issue i think

[sturdy glen]

same for the mgs

sooooo

idk, this game specifically seems to have issues with ppl not knowing how to use guns

[native sun]

Yeah, but I don't know John McNewbie's game background when I recommend an easy-to-pick-up weapon

[neon gust]

Never, let the new gen of gtfo content creator carry the torch

[craggy pier]

@neon gust nice subject delta

[neon gust]

My role model

[craggy pier]

thoughts on subject sigma?

[neon gust]

I want to be as good as that man

[sturdy glen]

so literally no one

except scaler ig

do they stil make stuff

[craggy pier]

is scaler still pumping out guides

[native sun]

Scaler hard carry

[jagged shore]

i don't think scaler is new gen

but yeah he still crankin them out

[sturdy glen]

doesnt mean theyre not the only person making stuff lol

[craggy pier]

i would sub to your gtfo content if u made it

[neon gust]

Not quite as dramatic as delta story wise imo

Maybe because it was shortee

[tepid sand]

do I count

[neon gust]

Delta just hit me in the heart strings

When i was younger

[native sun]

Optimization guide go hard

[neon gust]

Jhonny topside a good man

[jagged shore]

i didn't say they weren't, but i still don't think they're "new gen" lol

[ashen frigate]

I doubt there will be a factual, unbiased review (neither full praise nor full on dev bashing) :( I miss having a fair bit of both.

[tepid sand]

Thank you, thank you

[neon gust]

You can hope kephri comes back with full drama and out of context takes of stuff

[craggy pier]

how do i optimise my logs per hour

[tepid sand]

[mossy aurora]

pls no

[craggy pier]

be the content creator you wish to see in the world

[craggy pier]

theres a really strange phenomenon of people not shooting enemies in alarms

[neon gust]

Theres one where people dont ping with biotracker

I find that super weird

[craggy pier]

very very strange

there's also this one where people afk every single time that nothing is happening very odd

[neon gust]

Not like we never done that before right.... cough..... cough

LMAO

A truer statement have never been deleted so fast

🙏🙏

[craggy pier]

sometimes I dont use bio in like 50 years and then the one time i take it i forget I have it until someone asks for pings

[neon gust]

Imagine going afk at a r4e1 s1 scan

Cougj cough

I got covid

[hearty plover]

for the R8, which level is the nuclear meltdown again?

[craggy pier]

b4

[hearty plover]

thx

[keen knoll]

Hi, on start you get apparel on each slot or only one? I think I played gtfo from family share or free weekend before and now I have only one backpack besides standard outfits

[ocean spindle]

u get apparel for every slot as u complete missions, u get chest pieces, pants, masks, backpacks and color palettes

u just have to unlock em by playing

[keen knoll]

oh, okey, maybe post on reddit is outdated then

[ocean spindle]

what did it said

[dry pumice]

You receive 1 random cosmetic for each new mission completed and +1 pre-determined one for beating an entire rundown.
Sometimes there are limited time event exclusives, but we haven't had those in a while.

Free weekend unlock should've carried over.

[craggy trellis]

You get the cosmetics from the GTFO battlepass

[dry pumice]

Unles it was family share, at which point it probably stayed on the sharing account?... I don't know how it works.

[keen knoll]

https://gtfo.fandom.com/wiki/Apparel (i mean line: is granted randomly to first-time players), not sure what post on reddit said about new players receiving some cosmetics, but it's on wiki too

[craggy trellis]

The GTFO battlepass can be unlocked in the store, and progress is made through collecting artefact XP

[ocean spindle]

oh there's like a few cosmetics that u get at random when u first start the game
u can then unlock em as the others by completing missions

[dry pumice]

When you install the game for the first time you receive one of starter helmets, torso and pants.

[ocean spindle]

but yeah there's a lil pool of stuff u can get when u start

[dry pumice]

There's like 3 each. But backpack is always the same.

The ugly one with a rug and giant pouches upfront.

Love the pouches, hate the rug...

For example i started with Convex Breather Mark I

[keen knoll]

oh okay, now when I look at item names, I misunderstood that you can either choose "default" character items or choose granted to you at start... but you only have that granted items xD sorry for stupid question

[dry pumice]

Yeah, no choice in anything ever. All is RNG.

[hazy wasp]

is there any way to get the logs without using the wiki? me and my friends are trying not to look too much stuff up but from the look of it the input code for the logs is chicken scramble.

[ocean spindle]

the terminals in some levels contain logs
to check em u input LOGS to list them
and then READ [log name]
tbh u should learn it even if it looks like chicken scramble cause some levels will require u to use logs

[hazy wasp]

oh neat, i didn’t know you could just list the logs

thanks 👍

[slow stone]

if the terminal says amount of logs > 1 in top of terminal then theres lore

or some objective related

[hazy wasp]

cool beans

[whole stirrup]

Are there still not enough rundowns for all the available cosmetics or was that changed? I recall reading that somewhere a while ago. Obviously the event stuff we can't get unless released.

[ocean spindle]

think theres more not enough expeditions to getting all of em, ur left a lil short

but i am not sure

pls discord

[digital mural]

there isnt enough expeditions

sadly

[deep kelp]

o/

game is stuck on loading screen

what do? :/

checked files integrity on steam already

run as admistrator done aswell

waiting for system assets to initalize...

[digital mural]

#1049599987878723635

[whole stirrup]

They should just give you the rest when you finish all or let it roll over til you get them all

[hidden ridge]

Yes to be fair I agree with that

Or just give 1 more for every PE (7,5,2,3,1)=18 which I think it's enough for all the missing ones AND the "event" ones like tigris mask, right?

[whole stirrup]

I'm not good on the numbers, but that seems right

[toxic pumice]

i'm just now coming back to gtfo: is 8.0 the final rundown that will be released?

[dry pumice]

Yes.

[topaz anvil]

Yes but it's a baller rundown :3

[craggy pier]

question

do burst sentries shooit nightmares in their weakspot

or do you take like shotgun or auto

[sturdy glen]

sniper

[arctic marten]

take sniper sentry so it doesnt matter

[craggy pier]

is sniper sentry 40 dmg

and do they shoot em in the weakspot or non

[arctic marten]

yes it is 40

dunno where it shoots

[tardy ingot]

isnt it 48 or smth

its rly damn high

[halcyon current]

Wiki says 48.1

[red breach]

what do i do for the third terminal is r8b2
all the videos i find have either someone else using them or they're really quick and have the worst screen resolution known to man
ive typed format_article_c
and form/at
aint working
these sound effects are about to give me fit

[arctic marten]

mb it is 48

[whole stirrup]

https://gtfo.fandom.com/wiki/R8B2

Seems to say what to do - but I haven't done the mission so idk

":FORM/AT"

Discord seems to condense the spaces - I would just read the page itself for the command

[lunar rain]

i am curious, how did the devs make the charger death sound? like the funny one

[cloud fox]

Sounds like throat clenching

[craggy pier]

How does one kill a scout without triggering it? I'm pretty new to gtfo, and I'm still figuring out how to deal with the hostiles.

[ocean spindle]

theres four options
a melee with a hammer/spear in the head, full charge; bat and knife need back of the head and its harder but possible
guns of high dmg, aka high calibre, hel rifle, pump shotgun, chokemod shotgun, sawed off, sniper, precision rifle... all of those kill in with a headshot
and a mine

and the fourth option its not kill it and just go by it lol

usually the first options the best but if theres many enemies in the room or u ont feel like u can go for it, u can shoot it, and then deal with the consequences

[tardy ingot]

Cfoam + any dmg in the foamed time works too

[hoary mason]

use backtics to wrap text so it will be monospaced.

`

:_FORM/AT_

also text wrapped in underscores/underlines is italic

[whole stirrup]

That makes a lot of sense - thanks for the knowledge!

[native sun]

You can always type COMMANDS on a terminal to see all the available commands (the special ones will be listed at the bottom)

[tough canyon]

i havent played R2E1 yet. why is everyone saying its hard asf. whats in it?

[halcyon current]

It's long, the beginning has a lot of funny invisible giants, the back half has a lot of running and an error alarm that spawns more enemies everytime it goes off, and there's a section where 3 people have to carry shit, 1 person shoots

[tough canyon]

oh jesus christ

ya ill wait whenever i think im ready for this level.

[halcyon current]

It's honestly not as bad as everyone makes it out to be

But it's definitely a jump from R2D2

[craggy pier]

are there any levels with a sleeping mom in the first couple zones

[past mesa]

have you finished r8

[craggy pier]

no...

im like halfway through

[past mesa]

then play the rest of r8

[craggy pier]

ok...

wanna play with me

:3

[past mesa]

talking with some IRLS

[craggy pier]

berhaps some other time

[inland tree]

how do i get the password in r8b2?

[topaz anvil]

Which password

[inland tree]

i figured it out 😭

[topaz anvil]

o7

[digital wave]

the 3 shotguns and precision rifle you mention can one hit kill the scout ? how many meters do I need to be close ?

[lone mortar]

Mostly point blank

[tardy ingot]

So many weapons can
sniper/hel rifle are pretty much never gonna not on hs
Prec rifle is high range (a bit above fall off)
Choke mod/high cal/burst cannon are mid range
Shotgun/scattergun are low range

Then theres also mains like sawed off (low) and slug (mid)

[finite oracle]

what are the best weapons to use on r8||b4||

[lone mortar]

Scattergun

[hidden ridge]

Normal scouts yes, PR needs front hs from a decent amount of meters (I think tentacle range is enough), choke can from more or less the same distance but aim decently enough at the center of the head, Shotgun and scatter you need to be closeish. Shotty can also backshot a cscout but you need to be really close, same for Combat Shotty but I think CS needs 2 shots for that.

Choke of course I think you can spam enough to frontkill a scout but to be honest I never tried.

@tardy ingot Since you're here, is it possible to kill 2 scouts in 1 burst of the new BC assuming both scouts are facing me?

[lone mortar]

Yep

[hidden ridge]

I think not because 1 bc hit isn't enough to from hs a scout but I think I could with 1 occi on scout A and 2 front hs on scout B, then the question becomes if it's FAST enough not to trigger them?

[lone mortar]

If the 3rd hits the head lul

[lone mortar]

Host wise yes

[hidden ridge]

so 1 front HS is enough to do that?

[lone mortar]

Bc you register kills so bullet dont stick on the dead scout

[hidden ridge]

Ah

[lone mortar]

22 on head shot i think is enough

[hidden ridge]

because I tried that as client and apparently I didnt damage scout B enough

[digital wave]

I just test the Precision Rifle, middle range can one hit

[lone mortar]

And you get plenty of range dmg

[lone mortar]

Duh

[hidden ridge]

The angle was nice enough for me not to really miss and I got a normal "hs hitmark"

Thanks

[lone mortar]

But truly

Id take extra dmg boosters

To secure that

[tardy ingot]

@hidden ridge yes

hs or back

both 1 tap

[digital wave]

The precision rifle is best to kill scout IMO, quite far range can kill, and can see shadow scout

[lone mortar]

Why

Just mele lol

[neon gust]

I use the autopistol to stagger a scout to dead

[lone mortar]

Imagine the walk length on that stagger

[proud mantle]

with the blobby scout, can i one shot it with a shot hitting both tumours?

[craggy pier]

uhhhh can u elaborate

[lone mortar]

Its not possible

But

If you can double team sniper it

You can

[ocean spindle]

u can only scattergun it from the back but as a client, i think as a host it's impossible; that's the only oneshot
otherwise it's foam or some idk double sniper semantics but idk why would u ever have two snipers that sounds horrid

[proud mantle]

bah

we rarely use c-foam, dont think its worth unless theres a lot

also while im here: what happens duing r8c1's main objective. ||we just beat the overload and then realised it was immediately up to extraction without doing the main||

[slow stone]

R8 likes to give you options, in that you get to choose either main or overload

in some other missions you can choose what to do also, if you do the optional one it also gives you main completion

[proud mantle]

yeah, im just wondering what you do in the main. doesnt look like my group want to go back to it (we're usually prisoner efficiency or bust)

[slow stone]

same thing but way easier

[craggy pier]

I wait so u cant do pe on that level?

[noble wind]

double terminal uplink

[slow stone]

you can

[proud mantle]

you can

[craggy pier]

o

[noble wind]

ovl counts as main when done

[proud mantle]

just did it, yeah

[craggy pier]

Oh ok

[proud mantle]

lol, lmao even

[craggy pier]

Perhaps rofl

[proud mantle]

ty btw, sounds like its kind of a cake walk after all that

[lone mortar]

Thanks for that azert

I never wana do C1 main on that

So cringe

[arctic marten]

dont need 2 snipers, only 1 sniper plus anything which does 1 damage to the other tumor

[ocean spindle]

my brain reallly doesnt wanna think today

[slow stone]

Just autopistol stagger it to death

[edgy plume]

How "D-Lock Block Decipherer" achievement works? i need only read log, or read and finish mission?

[noble wind]

just read

[arctic marten]

read and either finish or die
i believe that if you crash or quit it doesnt count

[edgy plume]

That im questing about, thx

[ocean spindle]

u can just wake a room an then die

[ocean spindle]

one foam nade isnt enough for a tank right

u need two to freeze it

i ask cause unsure

[fierce walrus]

yeah

its 2

2 foam nades or 1 foam mine

[noble wind]

3

[mental furnace]

Retiring to lobby also works

[slow stone]

3

[tardy ingot]

2

[lone mortar]

2.5

[slow stone]

Isnt it
Tank: 3 nade, 1 trip
Pmom: ? nade, 1 trip
mom: 1 nade, 1 trip

[turbid horizon]

16 nades to be safe

[lone mortar]

only in occlusion where greg exist

[turbid horizon]

he doesn’t tho

[tardy ingot]

tank is 2 nades

every enemy that can be frozen does so by a cfoam trip

afaik

[turbid horizon]

how many potatoes to kill a tank i wonder

[lone mortar]

i love it when im host

and the nade i threw phase off the tanks

[ocean spindle]

if i throw a nade at a tank and then just

run back for another nade

i should be able to foam it right

dammit it worked but i still did it wrong lol

[digital mural]

let me guess
you missed the nade but the tank stepped on it instead

[ocean spindle]

no i did foamed it but i got a bot to put the mine

and then he did it late

and just killed it as is later but takin dmg :b

[grand elm]

wdym „nade”? cause i’m thinking mainly of fragmentation-grenades

[ocean spindle]

c-foam grenade

[grand elm]

Im a dum dum🥲

[ocean spindle]

it ok :]
they dont appear super often

[grand elm]

yeah, have found out that they are very useful in big alarm-doors especially in Overload-Rundowns

when you need 2 sentries, 1 bio tracker and 1 mine-deployer

[ocean spindle]

that its, very dependant on the level

some overloads dont have even big alarms

and for most levels the tools u need vary, even if it has a secondary sector or not

plus foam nades have multiple uses, not only on big alarms

[grand elm]

True but you can also depend on them sometimes especially when it comes to Error Alarms. In short, Sometimes you need to depend on what you get

[dawn jackal]

I see that @shadow flower made a post to the news channel saying that the community added new commands, I would like to know what they are

[ocean spindle]

||start denofwolves.exe||
||start private_encryption.exe||
and these three are the bad bad funky ones
||start light_testing.exe||
||start ventilation_overrride.exe||
||start threat_level_m.exe||

[dawn jackal]

What do they do?

[ocean spindle]

think the last one its 'maximum' but u can just put 'm' and it works

[dawn jackal]

I know what light does

Malicious intent

[ocean spindle]

first takes u to denofwolves.com, second ones a log
and i mean i think the three speak for emselves but the fourth its ||poison fog to the top, the fifth its an error||

[dawn jackal]

i know what im doing now!

Testing...

[ocean spindle]

i tested and i jot jumpscared

[slender sleet]

Alternative to them
||START QXSHOP.EXE (alt to private)
START YXKMOS.EXE (alt to light)
START CCIAXBSS.EXE (alt to vent)||

[ocean spindle]

much easier of course

[pallid slate]

does this game have multiplayer checkpoint saves that can be reloaded? my crew has low availability for gaming and we often have to break up longer games into multiple sessions

[slow stone]

it doesnt

[ocean spindle]

no, the checkpoints which are only in a few missions are for if u die, reload right there again, but if u go back to lobby u need to do it all over again

[pallid slate]

well shucks! seeing some runs take over 2 hours is rough lol

[topaz anvil]

😔

[ocean spindle]

not all of em but the longest ones, most of the game at a moderate pace can be done in one hour missions, maybs one and a half

the shortest ones in 30

[civic wave]

run timer is mostly an obstacle of skill/being comfortable and not because the game itself inherently takes forever to clear

although it can take a damn while to get to the point where you're comfortable enough to go fast

[pallid slate]

entirely fair. i accompanied someone on a run and was literally left behind lol

(just for a moment, i caught up)

[ocean spindle]

i always recommend askin to not be carried just in case wii

[pallid slate]

oh good point

if i havent memorized each corner i am compelled to revisit it each time xD

[ocean spindle]

if u got good memory 2 3 clears on a short medium level and u know all tiles
game has a bit of replayability by going in with different teams so

[tardy ingot]

tbh the first few levels you will play are at normal pace 15 minutes long if even
But those will start out as 1 hour sessions due to what pachi explained

Later missions do get longer, but the players also get better/faster and more comfortable

So overall time adjusts around 45-90 min for non short missions

[soft crater]

Or play with pubs

[soft crater]

I found a guy in pubs yesterday who said sniper nerf wasn't a bad thing.

[tardy ingot]

why

how

who

probably thought the extra ammo made it better

:^ )

[ocean spindle]

solace and their 'i found a guy who said we should have tanks' pubs

[soft crater]

They didn't explain afterwards aside from saying "it's not that bad" to us other 3

[tardy ingot]

man

id love to discuss with people like that

can not believe you didnt solace

my entertainment

gone

reduced to atoms

[soft crater]

I'm typically mute in pubs

[tardy ingot]

ah right

[soft crater]

[tardy ingot]

sniper is shit soundboard needed

[dawn jackal]

I just told my friends to input all of the dangerous start commands. XD

[ocean spindle]

well

[dawn jackal]

We died very quickly

There should be a start command to open the vents

[ocean spindle]

i mean
ventilation one

[dawn jackal]

that closes them

[noble wind]

starts infectious fog

[lilac fulcrum]

the m does NOT stand for maximum.

[ocean spindle]

it stands for somethin didnt it
i forgor

[ocean spindle]

kinda opens em

lets the air, the bad air in

[lilac fulcrum]

it does. it stands for a dev-related joke that was said publicly, but is pretty obscure

[halcyon current]

i thought it stood for Mumbo

[ocean spindle]

mnuts :D

Go apply

Nahhhh

[noble wind]

eva compiled some in a vid pre n post

[hazy wedge]

I have a few saved. Haven’t touched sniper post r8 because it’s nasty and yucky

[noble wind]

ran it few times when r8 came out the fire rate tricks me into reloading cuz sniper no fire must reload then oh i still have the 2nd bullet and get licked by the last giant

good times

[lone mortar]

meh

i still take it for funsies

[hazy wedge]

The sniper is no longer a fun weapon

I’d rather throw it at the sleeper

[lone mortar]

and have no special?

fr?

[rugged dock]

does r4c2 still have a lot of problems with foam going through doors

b/c we've hosted with 4 different people and it never works

[slow stone]

It can happen on all levels

[hazy wedge]

Yes

[hazy wedge]

Restart game

[lone mortar]

on god?

even when youre host on R6D3 error ?

[hazy wedge]

Sniper sentry

[mental furnace]

hel rifle :)

[whole grove]

Why use double tap rifle?

[ocean spindle]

its a good oneburst on enemies with good range reload and mag size, very good if u can use it consistently, but the problem its using it consistently

[dry pumice]

TL:DR - best weapon if you could aimbot

But you won't, so...

Until they change it up i don't see it being used much besides some local enjoyers

[ocean spindle]

depends on how much u practice with it

[dry pumice]

It just feels bad to use

It was rolling the shot delay before sniper rifle made it uncool

And i still think it could use extra 2 bullets in mag

And a slight buff to hipfire, maybe

After that i might consider it

[ashen frigate]

I would settle at a 3 round magazine and a slightly reduced shot delay. Hipfire can remain nerfed to the ground as long as it can perform decently enough at long range.

(That is of course if they still want to promote ScatterGun and Burst Canon use, which I find unnecessary even though it is the only explanation I can come up with)
Oh, you were talking about DTR ; then definitely it would benefit for a couple more bullets in mag

[halcyon current]

I think you guys are talking about 2 different weapons

[ashen frigate]

This is what happens when you try to catch up on hundreds of unread messages

[mental furnace]

Double-tap rifle with a 3 round mag :O

[halcyon current]

Yeah lmao

[ashen frigate]

Yup, that was my honest take on Sniper Rifle ; thank you for attending that Ted Talk.

[halcyon current]

It already has the highest possible kills per mag aside from the hel shotty iirc

2 more bullets in mag would be 1 more dead striker or shooter

Which I wouldn't mind ofc, but I don't think it needs

[ocean spindle]

i was very confused for a second there lol

[ashen frigate]

My brain honestly read "buff" and "sniper rifle" two lines appart

[halcyon current]

A higher cyclic rate on the Burst would be nice tho

[halcyon current]

Average state of a GTFO players brain tbh

[surreal lake]

Go full GTFO and give Sniper a drum mag

[lone mortar]

no tags on shadows

get smashed by john cenas

[mental furnace]

Oops I was thinking of R6D2

[tardy ingot]

Thats still hel revo for mains

[spark lantern]

whats a good weapon to pair with the shelling s49 pistol?

[arctic marten]

burst cannon

[hardy grotto]

hel gun

[dry pumice]

Pffft, anything really.

But probably something long range... Like High Caliber Pistol. Or Precision Rifle.

[hazy wedge]

High Cal is not long range but sure

[ocean spindle]

high cals very not long range

its like 6 meters

[spark lantern]

guess only part im worried about with pairing pistol with burst n such is ammo economy, since pistol is more of like a horde clear but can only really handle about 4 enemies at a time

[dry pumice]

Pistol
Horde clear
I'm... Not sure about that.

[spark lantern]

i know it's not a cc machine, it can technically clear you just need to be fast and precise with it

[dry pumice]

Mains don't usually do that. There's a couple out there that can, and its pretty much the reason they're sitting at S-tier while the rest of plebs are B at best

[lone mortar]

2.94dmg pdw

[spark lantern]

so then what role do you put pistol in?

[lone mortar]

can clear most waves

thats the old pdw

when it was a very solid and biggggggg pick

[dry pumice]

Pistol is the close range self-defense weapon with minimal skill requirements. You used your big special to do whatever important job you were doing, but now there's 2-3 smalls trying to eat you and as Price always taught us - "switching is faster than reloading", so you switch to pistol and just hipfire to where their head approximately at.
Exactly same for Burst Pistol too, btw. Just even closer and even more brainless.

[civic wave]

If you aim and enemies are trickling and you can shoot to stagger, you kill most waves with a main gun

Pistols ammo economy gets so much better when you're hitting heads it's not even funny

But spamming hipfire down for self defence does work rather well for staying safe, yeah

[dry pumice]

If you wanted main that actually deals damage - you would be using HEL Rev or Carbine.

Maybe even Burst Rifle...

[spark lantern]

so if you're mainly using it for self defence what special are you using? cause it's either going to be machine gun for cc or some high dmg giant clear

[dry pumice]

Literally anything depending on your role in the team.

I've ran pistol + sniper rifle before and it felt... natural. Per instruction manual.

[spark lantern]

and ammo for you was fine? im guessing you mainly relied on team to handle most of the horde

[dry pumice]

Team needs crowd control - you go machine guns.
Team needs giant counter - you run Scatter, BC or Sniper Rifle (probably shouldn't these days until they buff it, but you can).
Team needs nothing in particular - you bring jack of all trades like High Cal, Choker or Heavy Assault Rifle.

[dry pumice]

Ammo is never fine with sniper rifle, so... But pistol is pretty slow on running out of ammo. That's pretty much one of its' selling points, especially if you make your shots count.

[zinc talon]

Do I need to censor R8 questions still??

[dry pumice]

Ideally, or just use #gtfo-spoiler-chat

[zinc talon]

Ok

[dry pumice]

You can always upgrade to The Rifle (Drekker 556). Its pretty much a direct upgrade: higher damage, twice the range, got a neat scope too. Only downside is reduced precision and some 30 bullets less total.

[civic wave]

And worse reload

[dry pumice]

Huh, was it always 1.9? I swear it felt faster than that...

[civic wave]

It had an amazing reload cancel which got nerfed for no reason with r8

[whole grove]

What's the range comparing high call and choke mod?

[dry pumice]

High cal starts losing damage after 8m
Choke starts losing damage after 15m

Choke also got much better precision multi, so aiming for the head or other weak points is generously rewarded.

[mental furnace]

I'm just going to point out that choke mod and hel rifle have exactly the same number of rounds per refill -- but hel rifle gets 6x pen, 2x starting falloff, and 25% more rounds per mag.

[dry pumice]

Yeaaaaah...

Choke been kinda lame for a while.

It reloads slower than High Cal too

Its one true selling point is the insane fire rate - you can mag dump it like mad. But it only ever comes into play like once per mission, maybe

I guess its alright into tumors, but Scattergun exists so...

Kinda overshadowed by everyone else.

[kindred locust]

hi does anyone know the commands for R8C1 terminal i was playing with my friends and couldnt figure it out and there arent any youtube guide vidoes either any help would be appreacited

[noble sierra]

COMMANDS

[past mesa]

For the overload?

[mental furnace]

The timed sequence mechanic only appears in two levels: R7D1 and R8C1. Each sequence requires three commands.

1. On the central terminal, input INIT_TIMED_SEQUENCE. A timer and terminal number will appear on your HUD. QUERY the displayed terminal to find out where you need to go.

2. On the terminal you queried, input VERIFY_TIMED_SEQUENCE. When you do this, you'll only have ten seconds to complete step 3, so make sure you already have someone in position.

3. Back on the central terminal, input CONFIRM_TIMED_SEQUENCE. This concludes the timed sequence, and ends the alarm until you start the next timed sequence.

[kindred locust]

Nah it’s like verify part usually it’s on the screen but it was weird

[kindred locust]

Omg thank you so much this is amazing

[craggy pier]

i thought the alarm keeps going in r8c1 or am i insane

[kindred locust]

Like when we tried in commands in the terminal we saw none of these commands so thanks
