bots are op with bio

[jaunty latch]

if I force myself to use it then the same lobby suddenly goes smoothly

[digital mural]

not even a second and they already pinged everything

[vernal nimbus]

nice

how long will you keep updating your password? I want to tackle r8a2 at some point when I'm good enough

[digital mural]

idk
as long as im in this server i will keep updating it

one of these days im going to change an 0 for an O or viceversa

hehe

[vernal nimbus]

got it

[jaunty latch]

theres a way to get it normally too that isnt that difficult, just tedious if you have already done it once

[digital mural]

||R8B2 speedrun||

[vernal nimbus]

every r8 mission has been very draining on me so far

[digital mural]

the last 2 will absolutely drain you

[tardy ingot]

Theres actually a sizeable difference between host dmg on mom and client since host needs to pop all the bubbles (have fun doing that with 2 scatter shots)

Shotgun > scattergun for host honestly

[digital mural]

unless you play with an experienced team

[tardy ingot]

in duo wha

wouldnt you rather skip it for most at that point

[digital mural]

but they are still "difficult" in its own way

[glad trellis]

do we need to reread logs if we fail and go back to a checkpoint?

[jaunty latch]

how many shotgun shots does it take to kill it

[vernal nimbus]

my experienced team consisting of 3 bots

[tardy ingot]

8 as host

[digital mural]

nah bro
good luck

[tardy ingot]

7 as client

[digital mural]

no

[jaunty latch]

can you get the 2 shots out faster then the 8 on the shotgun

[digital mural]

i dont think you need

[vernal nimbus]

the dual uplink mission absolutely killed me solo

[tardy ingot]

Scattergun doesnt rly 2 shot as host

[glad trellis]

sweet ty

[civic wave]

maybe I'm brainrotted but I think for every duo I've done so far, which was all of og r4 and partway through og r5 we've always brought bio

[digital mural]

R8C1?
Yikes

[vernal nimbus]

yes

[digital mural]

its not close to being hard compared to other R8 levels

[jaunty latch]

because even if it doesnt kill its leaving it at health so low I dont think it matters in practice unless your speedrunning

[tardy ingot]

lemme guess, r4e1, r5e1 and r4c3 :* )

[tardy ingot]

thats the point

It leaves it at considerable health

[digital mural]

good luck man

youll need it

a lot

[vernal nimbus]

I already cleared it

[jaunty latch]

it hasnt whenever I have used it

[civic wave]

no, we did things in order, every mission in r4 and we've done a1-b2 in r5, probably continue with b3 tomorrow

[tardy ingot]

hm

[jaunty latch]

and I almost always host

[tardy ingot]

i feel like bio was always a more specific pick for duos

[vernal nimbus]

definitely need a better way for me to burst snatcher with bots though

[civic wave]

you can force bio in every duo tbh

[digital mural]

scatter :D

[tardy ingot]

Im gonna bonk you

You can force bio on every solo

[civic wave]

but the output from having a second sentry or another tool is good

[tardy ingot]

just long kite brrrr

[civic wave]

^ that's the thing with solos, just kite with bio

[jaunty latch]

tbh id just stick it onto a bot unless your doing a true duo

[civic wave]

for duos you're probably not doing that

[hardy grotto]

bio in duo is pretty common

[tardy ingot]

im a big bio supporter but in duo another tool can usually outperform

[hardy grotto]

the info is nice

[tardy ingot]

bio definetly becomes cracked for a lot of levels tho

specifically the harder ones

[civic wave]

why would I duo "with bots", doesn't sound like a duo to me, and babysitting bots sucks

[craggy pier]

bio in duo depends entirely on the level

[civic wave]

and, well, og rundowns

literally just force bio I don't understand what's so difficult don't you guys have guns?

[tardy ingot]

Host scattergun players when they have to blow through scatter and their main to kill a mom

Meanwhile shotgun player

Simply Mandatory :^ )

[craggy pier]

shotfun

[whole grove]

bio + kite if no stamina but those days are no more

[craggy pier]

kiting is so fun guys

[civic wave]

you still long kite

stamina only stops the weak

[jaunty latch]

wait isnt that still over twice as much ammo using a shotgun to do it

because I thought the shotgun only got a single clip back per refill while the scatter gets like 3ish

[tardy ingot]

we arent talking efficiency here

since scatter kinda dwarfs anything on bosses

scatter gets more dmg per refill than revolver at 100%

[noble wind]

4 scatter shots on host so U have to deal with babies after first burst

[tardy ingot]

[jaunty latch]

you dont it staggers it and blocks it lol

or at least you can finish it off with machine pistol before it has time to get out of it, idk how the other mains fair with that

[noble wind]

Sawed off works well

2 shots for a tumor tho

[craggy pier]

whats the damage reduction of snatcher armour?

oh yea its in the desc...

im not sure why

its also not a numerical symbol

it just says "a fifth"

[ocean spindle]

cause it connects to both b1 and b2

[rapid briar]

why does r4d1 spawn extra waves

[jaunty latch]

they get backed up if they take too long to reach you and the spawncap stays up

either defend in the reactor room itself so they spawn closer or prepare yourself to push through them like I chose to

[craggy pier]

di u beat r4c3

[rapid briar]

no we took a break

we lost to a bbc blocking the only hallway after the main door with no way to stealth him

he screamed, woke the scout, and rip

[craggy pier]

by no way to stealth him do u mean he was facing u and u couldnt get around?

if thats the case there is a solution. 2 full charge hammers to front will stagger him then ur other 2 players full charge hammer in the back, and if they miss the back he still staggers and ur last 2 can kill him

[rapid briar]

yes he was blocking the path with no way around

[frail heart]

You can always just have everyone hammer him in the back

Like a normal giant

[craggy pier]

they cant immediately cos hes facing forward

very unlucky

but 4 hammers will solve that

hammering bbc scary but better than just accepting defeat

[rapid briar]

yeah facing forward plus we were 3 ppl and 1 bot

[craggy pier]

💀

[rapid briar]

the only option was for me to hail mary scattergun him

[craggy pier]

please play that level with 4 players

[rapid briar]

why

bot has insane bio

[craggy pier]

bots are an extreme liability, especially in that level

[rapid briar]

raaaah ok

[craggy pier]

also player bio is just better since the user can relay info about sleeping enemies

[rapid briar]

but anyway on the topic of d1

why does it spawn a whole extra wave after the final one

it eats into our time to search the code evejn with 4 ppl

we literally fail the time limit twice

[sturdy glen]

cuz youre not killing fast enough

was already explained above

[rapid briar]

it's a reactor though

[sturdy glen]

it always spawns the same amount of enemies

[rapid briar]

i thought the spawn intervals were predetermined

[craggy pier]

1. kill them faster and 2. the code fetching is manageable even if u lose a minute killing shit (which you shouldnt if u play well)

[sturdy glen]

if spawn cap is hit it will just queue them up

[rapid briar]

o

[jaunty latch]

they are but if they are blocked it will queue them ^^^

[rapid briar]

OH

[sturdy glen]

reactor spawn rules can get kinda fucked up so they might spawn really far away

[rapid briar]

ok i understand now

[rapid briar]

yeah entire waves of enemies would just keep pouring at us minutes after the sequence

[jaunty latch]

most reactors its not an issue on just for some reason that specific one will spawn them on the opposite side of the map if you dont stay in the reactor

[rapid briar]

alr

[craggy pier]

also you can kill the wave on your way to getting most of the codes if necessary

[jaunty latch]

though personally I found that easier then dealing with multiple doorways

[sturdy glen]

doesnt help that r4d1 is surrounded by 4 bridge tiles

[craggy pier]

silly level

very funny last code

[rapid briar]

qwhat's funny asbout the alst code

[sturdy glen]

youll see

[craggy pier]

you'll see ;33

[rapid briar]

😭

[jaunty latch]

open up the last door and shoot directly into the air when you walk in to see

[craggy pier]

I think u have like 10 mins to get it so you'll b fine

[rapid briar]

[jaunty latch]

[craggy pier]

yeah u do have 10 mins

[jaunty latch]

||most of that time is eaten by an alarm scan on the way in lol||

[craggy pier]

not most

a bit

[jaunty latch]

well enough to make it less comfortable at least

[craggy pier]

anyway even if u get the code last possible second its final so person on term enters it and u have all the time in the world to get out

[summer vortex]

Does the Pure Will achievement only apply for the person going for it or the whole team?

[craggy pier]

team

play it with friends

so pubs dont ff it, intentionally or otherwise

[gleaming lantern]

Hey y'all, need some advice on the ending of r1b2, whats your strategie to survive the last run from the hsu to the spawn ?

[craggy pier]

shoot the enemies

[gleaming lantern]

Yeah, on the road ?

[craggy pier]

yes

[gleaming lantern]

Like we stop, shoot and then continue ?

Isnt it never ending waves ?

[craggy pier]

yes

unless ur good enough to run past them without dying

shoot them

[gleaming lantern]

Yeah this was the first but we failed miserably

first strat

[frail heart]

Its good to shoot as you run. So if you are running and some enemies are in front of you or come up behind you, just shoot them. Stick together and close doors behind you

[gleaming lantern]

Thanks man

[frail heart]

👍

[gleaming lantern]

We'll do that

What gun do you precognize for the run and gun strat ?

[frail heart]

Well its mostly whatever you are comfortable with but shotgun is good and just usually weapons like carbine, smg, things like that

[gleaming lantern]

Ok ok, gonna go with the shotguns, never tried it

[tardy ingot]

ye as others said shoot while walking

You can specifically reload when you are high on pulse (130+) as that slows you down

another strat is to leave a lot of the shooters in the actual hsu zone alive. Then once you have done the hsu you shoot and wake them up and run away

At extract the pillar makes doding the waves of shooters easy

but id recommend just going with the shooting strat first as thats more basic gameplay

[gleaming lantern]

Ok nice, appreciate the advice

[narrow niche]

shotgun in a shooter level is hell on earth but its better than combat shotty ig

[frail heart]

yeah true

its still decent tho

[reef geyser]

hello quick question what rundown is the main story mission that explore the prisoner ?

[frail heart]

Rundown 7 and 8 are the main story rundowns

[reef geyser]

then what about r1 - r6 ?

[frail heart]

r1-5 dont follow any sort of story and rundown 6 kinda does but not as much as r7 and r8

[reef geyser]

then should i continue playing from r1 to r6 then finally play r7 and 8

[craggy pier]

r6 is also story

[reef geyser]

or can i start r7 8

[fierce walrus]

So… id recomend doing atleast R1, most of R2 and maybe R3 before jumping into R7/8 as their difficulty ramps up quite a bit after C tier

But overall if you wanna be challenged, then you can start wherever you want

[topaz anvil]

R1 to R5 have subtle hints about the player's story, and r6 had a coherent story, unfortunately due to the changes with the rereleases, r6 no longer has dialogue:(

[fierce walrus]

except R6D1 technically, but even then its not much

most dialogue is in terminal logs

[trim rock]

R5A2 and A3 have a fuckton of audio logs

[tardy ingot]

R1-5 follow a story just not as in your face

[frail heart]

yeah true

idk i just think of them as the ones that dont have a story cause of them never having one in og

but yeah like logs and such

[old kite]

question for nerds in chat why are R7 R8 not "alt://"

[frail heart]

the alt rundowns are re releases

[old kite]

📝

[tardy ingot]

Lore reason: because they dont solely follow the alt team

Ingame reason: they arent remakes of their originals

As they are the originals

[old kite]

swag ty

[topaz anvil]

Should get Schaeffer DLC where we follow his story instead

Or a schaeffer spinoff mobile game where it's him evading detection in the complex for 4 rundowns

[fierce walrus]

i think schaeffer would be op, like cmon so many people struggle at R8B4s secondary and he just straight up does it solo

[lilac fulcrum]

Nah, DLC where you follow the lives of the sleepers

[fierce walrus]

ah yes the, STFU dlc

where you silence prisoners for being too loud

as a sleeper

[shy hull]

Ngl a play as the sleeper rundown or dlc sounds sick as hell

[frail heart]

Like subnautica but you actually die from the infection and turn into a sleeper

[unreal portal]

I have a kinda stupid question, i know the game is said to be nearly impossible to solo (there is a guy on yt did that tho) but i still wonder if play solo (with or without) is gud to learn the game. Like in multiplayer i rarely got to do terminal and stealth kill things cuz people do it so quickly lol

[digital mural]

i only recommend playing solo if you already have like 200 hours in the game

playing with bots can be stresfull but youll learn a lot

[round arrow]

Do Rundown 1 with bots, since that rundown is really baby steps

Maybe just R1A1 to feel it out

[unreal portal]

Ye cuz u manage everything they do, except shooting

[ocean spindle]

and stealthin

u gotta heavy carry in that sense

[unreal portal]

Ya, i wanna practice fast clear a room while still have backup for errors

[digital mural]

R1A1

your best option

and R1B1

[unreal portal]

i thought u almost always go stealth, but a guy playing true solo on yt sonetimes shoot one bullet and then clear it with either a mine or sentry and guns

When should i do that? and when should i stealth

[ocean spindle]

its a thing u can do if the rooms extremely packed and u can really move between enemies
its only really a good strat in deeper levels

[unreal portal]

Noice, will try

[digital mural]

when you see a lot of enemies together and going inside its risky pull the room

[ocean spindle]

since A B and most C tiers have rooms that u can always move around

[digital mural]

when theres a lot of enemies but theres a clear path stealth

[round arrow]

Also, you don't NEED to stealth. If you start from extreme range and keep walking, you will arrive at an enemy before they aggro, assuming your flash is off and it's a 1 to 1 engagement.

[ocean spindle]

it just depends on the quantity and the general positioning, u can get away with a lot of slow stealth killing and forced aggros

[round arrow]

More than that... and you need to get a good feel for when to move, positioning, timing, blahblahblah

[digital mural]

also shooting scouts sometimes is better than stealth killing them

so

[unreal portal]

I see u can actually fast kill as long as u pre charge melee

[digital mural]

watch for that

[ocean spindle]

not on super packed rooms tho unless u master the knife or somethin, otherwise the walkin will awake other enemies near u and aggro will fuck it up

[unreal portal]

Eh really?

[digital mural]

yes

[round arrow]

Definitely

[ocean spindle]

depends too on the situation

[digital mural]

sometimes they are in a very fucked up position

[unreal portal]

Oh u have to one shot it

[ocean spindle]

yep, but theres a lot of guns that can

[unreal portal]

Snipers

[digital mural]

yes but i dont recommend it

[unreal portal]

And the choke mod i think

[ocean spindle]

and some shotguns, and high cal and chokemod etc

a lot of weapons

[digital mural]

hel gun, hel rifle, scattergun, high cal

choke mod

[unreal portal]

Why tho, if its in a bad position then u cant get close?

[round arrow]

There will be...later points in the game where they make you pay for this strategy, is what WeekA2 is saying

[ocean spindle]

hel rifle burst cannon scattergun hel gun chokemod pump shottie slug shottie etc etc etc

[unreal portal]

Ohhhh

[ocean spindle]

weeka2 ksmdkm

[digital mural]

weeka2

[ocean spindle]

im gonna start callin em that

weeka2

[digital mural]

[unreal portal]

Nice name

[round arrow]

I have no clue what else to call you

Your name is a PSA, not a callsign

[digital mural]

if you cant get close shoot him
even if you alert the room
but doing this can be very risky in later levels

[unreal portal]

Oh ye and btw, its true that u will use your special more than main? Ofc its situational but the ammo pack give special more

[digital mural]

and sometimes is the best strat

[digital mural]

it depends on the gun

[round arrow]

Pay attention, to the number of enemies, or god forbid, extra scouts there are in the room.

Enemies? You'll want to go silent or pick off some of the small ones before you shoot the scout in the head.

Multiple scouts? You're gonna need to kill (n-1) of them stealthily.

You can use mines, but their sound profile is different from sleepers to scouts, I think?

[digital mural]

if you want a loadout
i recommend hel pistol + chokemod/scatter

[ocean spindle]

some specials are very very flexible and can be used a lot more than ur main, but other times they are situational and arent as used to ur main
sometimes even ur main cann be situational, like a hel shotgun

[digital mural]

it works pretty damn good for almost every situation

[ocean spindle]

mines have 30 meters of range, enemies all hear the same

gunshots have 50 meters of sound range

thats what u mightve experienced

[digital mural]

doors remove 20 meters from the sound of the gun

[ocean spindle]

a mine its less noisy than the gunshot so maybs u didnt woke up a room for that

[unreal portal]

Oh ye multi scouts, on solo that would be brutal

[ocean spindle]

20

or 30?

[digital mural]

as well as room dividers

[ocean spindle]

i swear it was 20 but i dont remember

[round arrow]

So with decent distance, you can pick off a scout without alerting other scouts, but the enemies... good luck with that

[round arrow]

hahaha yeah 😅

[ocean spindle]

im pretty sure if ur on the range another striker hears the thing, scout will too

[tardy ingot]

20

[digital mural]

thanks Eva

[tardy ingot]

i dunno if thats ironic or not

[digital mural]

it wasnt LOL

[tardy ingot]

but ye as im testing for the stealth guides rn

[digital mural]

thanks for correcting me

[tardy ingot]

i can confirm

its 50/30/10

[round arrow]

I mean with the SPREAD of enemies in the room, if you haven't cleared it, you're likely to alert them, whereas another scout may be easier to get away with.

Of course... if you alert the enemies, the scout isn't far after soooo it's all moot anyway

[tardy ingot]

for 0/1/2 rooms away

[ocean spindle]

i knew it >:3

[unreal portal]

Hmm so by this, they can hear gunshots through doors, it just that u have to stand pretty close to it?

[tardy ingot]

open doors

[digital mural]

if you shoot through a door the sound will travel 30meters instead of 50

so it wont wake up enemies after the 30 meters

[unreal portal]

Oooo nice

[tardy ingot]

honestly if you want a basic overview of what wakes up what i would recommend rawrchickennuggies old guide

its a bit outdated but a lot of it still rings true

[ocean spindle]

tbh this is, 'pretty up there' information for a new player so it can be funky to get

[tardy ingot]

im basically workin on a quicker rehash that gets more to the point (and i will try and fail )

[digital mural]

but very useful to know

i wished i knew that when i started

[ocean spindle]

i mean not really unless u wanna snipe scouts from far away and in all of r1 u really cant

due to the tiles

unless its like, b2

[digital mural]

b2 deez

[ocean spindle]

nuts

[tardy ingot]

its stuff that only rly becomes useful when you want to partial pull or simply avoid pulling rooms through open room dividers

which is usually advanced+

[round arrow]

https://tenor.com/view/disintegrate-gif-22469816

[ocean spindle]

yeah i mean, they were talkin of bot runnin r1a1 so idk ksdmkm

[ocean spindle]

u cant even really pull rooms with bots

[round arrow]

I always forget gif no work

[ocean spindle]

and mine the door

[unreal portal]

Thanks yall, i do have to say this is some of the nicest dis server i have ever been in

[unreal portal]

Heh wdym, like u just shoot once and they rush out, then def like normal, i think?

[round arrow]

Is that not an issue with these sorts of questions in general?

Someone new will ask, and it's almost always, "it depends, mate." Cause this game is pretty dense, so the simple answer is only the right answer for SO LONG before they mess with your expectations.

[unreal portal]

Well i bought this game as a change of taste from l4d2. And holy hell its brutal

[round arrow]

Hell yea it is

[tardy ingot]

anyone got funky ideas for gtfo bingo btw ?

[digital mural]

oh yeah
this game is considered as a L4D2 child

[tardy ingot]

im still technically a few short

[digital mural]

which ones do you have already

[tardy ingot]

45

you expect me to list em all

[digital mural]

yes

dms

[tardy ingot]

[round arrow]

Lol, quite literally my video title

[ocean spindle]

if u shoot inside the room theres a good chance u close the door and a bot will remain inside ksmdkm
they tend to do that
and if u shoot outside u need to make sure ur on door range with all ur bots inside ur room, not in the other

[digital mural]

4REVA pwease

[unreal portal]

A violent one lmao

[ocean spindle]

pew pew pew

[unreal portal]

Oh bruh

[ocean spindle]

they have their quirks, they r helpful but- still quirks

[round arrow]

Sometimes the bots will even phase through the door after you close it

[digital mural]

or teleport

[ocean spindle]

teleport?

[digital mural]

they sometimes tp to you

[noble wind]

squad formation when

[ocean spindle]

no, they traverse walls to get to u

[digital mural]

i swear to god Bishop does some weird shit

[ocean spindle]

maybs u didnt see him goin behind u

[digital mural]

nono
they literally TELEPORT to you

[ocean spindle]

... well i havent seen that

[unreal portal]

Thats gud tho

Cuz i dont want go then hear help me plz 100m away

[ocean spindle]

its good but why are my bots not doin that ksmdkmk
they just go through walls, i mean that ones also funny but smh

[digital mural]

yours dont teleport?

lame

[unreal portal]

Technology issues

[ocean spindle]

:[

they like the old way

[unreal portal]

PoV: Fuel prices nowadays

[digital mural]

who needs fuel when you can fly

[dry pumice]

What are we talking about today? R1C1 again?

[unreal portal]

Anyways thanks yall a lot, i like this game but kinda struggle playing with people, like learning my pace so i prefer solo more (but the Warden said no)

[ocean spindle]

uh no

[unreal portal]

No just me asking newbie questions

[ocean spindle]

warden says yes but enemies say no :3

[digital mural]

usual game mechanics

[round arrow]

R1C1: easy, IF you know where to hold

[ocean spindle]

they let u go in alone for sure, other thing is u well survive the waves right

[digital mural]

and a bit of advanced stuff

[unreal portal]

By licking ya :3

[ocean spindle]

exactly :3

[unreal portal]

Honestly who the hell design strikers with licking attacks, big daddies even longer and HARDER

I love it tho ;3

[digital mural]

wait until you find ||BBC||

[round arrow]

There's a joke in here somewhere...

[digital mural]

the joke gets harder once he finds the ||BBC||

[unreal portal]

On the TV, go watch it

[unreal portal]

Its a informative channel about live science and culture.

[digital mural]

:)

i mean the funny BBC

[unreal portal]

Very gud for kids

[digital mural]

the funny one

[ocean spindle]

[ocean spindle]

breaking new ur spine is breaking :D

dies

[prime ember]

Sorry I have been away for a bit are the new melee weapons just reskins

[digital mural]

yes

[ocean spindle]

reskins

[prime ember]

Ok great thank you

[digital mural]

the spear skin is nice
they literally taped a knife to a big stick

LOL

[prime ember]

My small brain has been struggling

[prime ember]

As a spear user I love it

[unreal portal]

Bro goes cavemann mode

Oh wait we r under a cave

[digital mural]

😔

sadly

but

sand too

:)

[unreal portal]

Never seen them lmao

[digital mural]

oh you will

[unreal portal]

Havent played most maps, tried r2e1 last night and holy fuck the first door is BRUTALLY BRUTAL

[digital mural]

ah yes

R2E1

the 2nd easiest E tier and the 2nd roadblock of a lot of players

[unreal portal]

But i came up with shotgun sentry strat and we passed it, only to die by 3 scouts the next room lol

[digital mural]

the first roadblock is usually R2D1

[unreal portal]

Hope i can find a gud team which can guide me, not carry

[round arrow]

I had a pretty significant roadblock on R1C1, but that was because we were holding in a bad spot

[digital mural]

reactor room?

[round arrow]

Mhmm

[digital mural]

oh yeah, not enough time to get res

[round arrow]

You want to hold in the hole in the wall, right? We held like, right in front of the reactor.

Look some sort of asshole

[unreal portal]

Thats a feetish…

Wont judge

[round arrow]

whuh

[unreal portal]

oh i’m watching some dudes doing r8, when should u crouch walk, like walking doesnt seem to trigger the pulsing and if they do just stop, standing there and realize u dont need to crouch to stealth

[round arrow]

If there are a lot of enemies.

If they're "pulsing," any of them, you stop

[dry pumice]

Walking causes sleepers to go aware, but not instantly awake.

[digital mural]

walking goes to the pulsing phase directly right?

[dry pumice]

There is also like 3-4 seconds of safe spot where you can just keep walking until they start pulsating

This is actually part of my gameplay with spear

[unreal portal]

So its bad?

[unreal portal]

Poke their heads off

[dry pumice]

I just walk towards the guy, he starts lifting his head and i just stab him in the head before he even starts throbbing

[round arrow]

They go aware (click), then pulse, then aware.

I said this much earlier, but you can just walk at enemies if they're in sleep mode, and you'll reach them before they go off

[dry pumice]

You have to disturb a glowing sleeper ~4 times before he gets angry

[round arrow]

BUT if there are multiple enemies, this strat is a little dicier, so crouch walk for those instances

[dry pumice]

So you can take a step > cause him to go click click > take a step > throw > take a step > throb > alright, that's enough, you can go back to sleep now

Crouching is used to get into advantageous position before starting going on a killing spree. Also to setup sync kills with teammates - its infuriating when one guy keeps taking normal steps and everyone else has to stop doing everything because the entire room started scanning.

[unreal portal]

There r people just run and smack all of them, but i’ll be carefull

[dry pumice]

Just fucking crouch, get into position, then you can do whatever the hell you want

[unreal portal]

I seeee

[round arrow]

Artek is right, it has to do with your comfort level

[dry pumice]

Also when you want to actually bypass the enemy and not actually kill him, a.k.a. actual real stealth.

[round arrow]

And how the team wants to engage

[dry pumice]

A rare occasion in this game.

80% of stealth is solved by just walking towards sleepers and crushing their skulls

Oops, did one of them awake because of that? Not an issue, just do the same to him.

I hope to make a jokey video of that someday, but i'm lazzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzy

[round arrow]

Yeah, the game is actually more forgiving then you're led to think

[unreal portal]

ye, precharge melee and spank, but if they r far apart then take it slow is better i think

[unreal portal]

Ye i do want to think so

[round arrow]

You'll see as you keep playing. It's easier to get away with stuff out of stealth, but also, you gotta respect the enemies.

[unreal portal]

But a room with 3 daddies ready to spank me till death gives me ptsd

[unreal portal]

Ogey, so to wrap it up, to learn the game and have fun, multiplayer or solo? Cuz the fun part is crucial, its a game after all

I like this comm alr, just like l4d2

[round arrow]

Multiplayer is best, probably

[dry pumice]

eh, its a cointoss

[round arrow]

I mean, I play almost exclusively alone. And there's a lot I just can't do because I'm alone.

But I HAVE gotten pretty proficient at the game.

[dry pumice]

Playing with bots has its' downsides (you have to deal with their 9 IQ points), but its stable and it allows you to actually play the game for yourself, by yourself and explore.

Playing with people usually leads to 1 or 2 cavemen sprinting away and clearing the entire map, then spamming voice commands waiting when will you catch up and help them do the scan.

[round arrow]

I like the lore, and if you're playing with others, you need to find people willing to deal with your lore shenanigans.

[unreal portal]

I met them… It wasnt gud

[unreal portal]

With bots or pure solo?

[dry pumice]

Being an experience courator in a video game is not something people really do, unfortunately.

[round arrow]

Yeah, but you just need to find your people, y'know?

I say with social anxiety, but yeah. Do as I say, not as I do

[round arrow]

bots

[unreal portal]

Zamn, from the beginning

Respect sire

[dry pumice]

You can actually get away with a lot of with bots.

Until either the game just throws too much manpower at you or you just need some meta knowledge of the map as to not waste time on useless activities

[unreal portal]

They re gud moving turrets and bio scanners i heard

[round arrow]

Yeah, the bots are nice, in a lot of ways. They are just pretty stupid.

I lost R7C1 multiple times from the bots being idiots.

[unreal portal]

I’m gud with that, solo l4d2 expert is pretty much blood boiling cuz of how stupid bots can be

can u clear d and e with them tho?

Heard u cant most of the time

[round arrow]

Someone earlier said you can kill every level in the game with bots. (except one)

But that's disingenuous. You would need to cheese pretty hard to do that in a lot of cases.

[unreal portal]

Damn, but i’ll try getting through a b c with them

[dry pumice]

Some Ds, especially early ones.

E... Big oof.

[unreal portal]

Where r the nuts

[dry pumice]

You can in theory, but i woudn't advise it.

I beat R2D2 with them recently and a LOT of pubs get hard stuck on that level

[unreal portal]

Zamn, its all about layouts and positioning eh

[dry pumice]

Ignoring the one i basically threw - it took me 2 attempts. First attempt to know the map and where to go, second (real) attempt to put knowledge to practice.

[unreal portal]

100 points sire, gud wok

[dry pumice]

Still have the steam notes:
1 - Free
2 - Side room
3 - Free
4 - Key Pivot
5 - The Hole
6 - The Scout Hell
7 - Free
8 - The Hole, continued
9 - Free
10 - Free?

[round arrow]

Free?

Quantum difficulty room

[unreal portal]

Oh those r rooms

Looks like shopping list, but interesting

[dry pumice]

No, those are not rooms. Some of them reffer to rooms, but...

Technically they are directions. "Free" means i don't have to go anywhere specifics, the rest specify where i need to go.

[round arrow]

The Scout Hell seems to imply that it just sucks there

[dry pumice]

Many a pub wipe on that one

[keen seal]

pubs when more than 1 scout in a room so they can't just shoot

[dry pumice]

I mean you can have 10 scouts - that's fine.
Multiple scouts AND smalls, in a large open room, ripe for long range aggro? Yeah, fuck that.

In both my runs i just ended up clearing my way to the terminal, getting the code, then GTFOing without even trying to get the far, hard-to-get resources. Getting another x4 ammo at the cost of 2 scout waves + large awaken room is just not worth it.

[earnest light]

If there are 2 scouts in a room, you can shoot from outside the room to kill one, and it likely wont alert the other one

[hazy wedge]

Huge emphasis on that "likely"

Just hel rifle both or better yet melee 😏

[earnest light]

The game is weird for door boundries, ive shot way too close to a scout but since i was technically in a different room, nothing happened

It also seems that its more about the distance from the gun to the scout, not where the bullet hits. Which means with a precision rifle, you can clear a few of those impossible 3-4 scout rooms with just a few well placed shots from afar

Without alerting, that is

[ocean spindle]

yeah gunshots have a rang of 50 meters but every area reduces it 20

so with a door and a room divider u got 10 meters

but it isnt like for every tile and most times with melee it isnt too hard

[empty bone]

how do i turn on checkpoints or change difficulty??

[digital mural]

theres only checkpoints on R1A1

and you wont see them until R6

also this game doesnt have difficulty changers

[empty bone]

me and my friends are trying to beat the first level (R1A1) but cant

[empty bone]

we died but have to restart it all

[digital mural]

?

if you wipe and got the checkpoint you can choose "restart from last checkpoin" option

you will respawn at the keykard door

[empty bone]

we died and automatically got sent back to lobby

[digital mural]

thats not possible

lol

[empty bone]

we died after getting the key

[digital mural]

did you opened the checkpoint door?

[empty bone]

which one is the checkpoint door

we had to go to zone 52

[digital mural]

the one with a green symbol

it has a blue scan attached to it

i suppose you didnt

well thats the only checkpoint you will see until R6

[jaunty latch]

mod that adds checkpoints to everything exists, both you and your friend would need it and you cant use it in this servers lobbies

[digital mural]

let the man experience GTFO at its finest

[jaunty latch]

im giving him an option if its too much for him as is

[digital mural]

fair enough

but tbh i recommend trying R1 without that checkpoint mods

[civic wave]

just a heads up that checkpoints can kinda screw up missions

like, a lot

[jaunty latch]

if that happens then you just end up restarting like normal to fix it anyway

[digital mural]

lol

getting the checkpoint in R8E1 when you have 10 giants infront of you

[ocean spindle]

checkpoint mods? that seems super useless for 99% of missions

[digital mural]

it is

especially for R1

[jagged shore]

Am I the only one that feels like more checkpoints should be a pretty easy "easy mode" option to add

[ocean spindle]

checkpoints majority of time just make u repeat and repeat a mission, doesnt really make it less hard and for most missions the points people die are not that far away

i could see it in like R5D1 or something

but for A B and almost all C tier missions, eh

[civic wave]

the problem is that adding more checkpoints fixes nothing, it just encourages a bad mindset and worse gameplay, and gives a greater potential for lobbies bricking

[jaunty latch]

not really, it makes missions significantly less painful when your learning

[jagged shore]

I could easily see it be useful it most missions for noobs

I agree it wouldn't be good long term, but the game already has retention issues

[jaunty latch]

I get why the devs didnt readd them with how many bugs they would have to fix though

[ocean spindle]

not really unless ur group already has a lot of experience and can like learn whats happenin, for newies tho just kinda makes em bang their head on a wall

plus i dont think majority of people wouldve been very happy of checkpoints on ALTs due to the bugs n stuff

people were not that happy with the one in A1

imagine in all of R1

[digital mural]

because it puts a wrong image in the newbies brains

they will think all levels have it

then they realise they dont

and quit because "too difficult"

[jaunty latch]

^^^

[jagged shore]

fr

[digital mural]

i saw that happened like 3 times in this server
cant imagine how much more behind the escenes

[jagged shore]

i think it'd be interesting for it to be a setting the host needs to turn on

[ocean spindle]

i mean the host is the one deciding if u use em or not tho

[jaunty latch]

mod for it exists since theres 0 chance of the devs doing it now

havent used it myself though

[digital mural]

checkpoint glitches goes brrrrrrrrrr

i already saw Dauda T-posing through a whole run because mf got screwed by a checkpoint

[jagged shore]

i still kinda think it being a setting you have to turn on would be better
cause then people would probably try the game without them first, then if they have issues they'd get told oh you can turn them on if you want

[jaunty latch]

thats a feature

[digital mural]

the power of T-posing
mf was dodging every fucking attack

[jagged shore]

oh i know
i've not been using checkpoints at all with my friends in r6, just kinda thinking out loud

[jaunty latch]

oh it would be just I dont think the devs would do that now

[digital mural]

you rarely wipe on R6 anyways

it isnt a hard rundown at all

[jaunty latch]

maybe in den of wolves but we wont see that for years

[ocean spindle]

we dont even know if den of wolves has checkpoints

[jagged shore]

it has not been, but we've still wiped far into missions so far (d4 with the hard part being at the very end is kinda painful rn) and refuse to use them

[ocean spindle]

at all

[digital mural]

D4
pain

😔

cool mission tho

[jagged shore]

once i misclicked restart checkpoint and they were like "wtf is this" lmao

[digital mural]

bro they were about to hang you

LOL

[jagged shore]

yeah i like it conceptually, just don't like how you have a long af build up to the hard part of the level lol
but oh well, we're gonna try it again here in a couple days

[mossy aurora]

Last part becomes trivial if you use cfoam and plan ahead with saving tool

[peak geode]

Hi!

Is the HEL Shotgun a good weapon and if yes, how would you use it? Used it a few times and it feels a lot like a stunning tool that forces me into close range

[digital mural]

yes its good

for crowd control but also good at killing at close range

[peak geode]

Then I a messing it up

It feels a lot like a close range HEL Pistol: low damage, a lot of CC

[ocean spindle]

hel shottie it a very wave defender weapon
it has very goo stagger so u lock enemies into place, it has penetration so it hits behind the other, wide spread to hit multiple, full auto to keep it firing, high dmg to one two three shot an enemy

so if u spam it at a bunch of enemies, it destroy em

[peak geode]

My group and I are attempting R3D2. Used it a few times at the first Class V alarm, and I clearly must be doing it wrong because my kill potential with it was very low at close to medium range

[ocean spindle]

... theres no d2 in rundown 3 kdmk

do u mean like r2d2?

[peak geode]

ALT//R3D2

B2

B2

SORRY

[ocean spindle]

ahhh b2

[peak geode]

My bad

[ocean spindle]

that makes more sense

[peak geode]

It's midnight over here and we've been struggling for 3 hours

Mea culpa

[ocean spindle]

well, my profesional advice aas an avid gtfo player
dont do the class V

[jagged shore]

you're frequently one letter off from talking about a level that doesn't exist lol

[ocean spindle]

its not worth it

do the other door, u get one cell and no resources but its way easier

[peak geode]

We kinda wanna do it because it feels like we should be able to, you know?

It feels like a puzzle we aren't figuring out yet

Class V is 2 cells, Class III is 1 cell and RES

[ocean spindle]

ah even better skdmk

i mean ur able to but it takes quite the attempts ksdmk
since the enemies spawn so close

[peak geode]

Yeah, we get overwhelmed

Been trying a lot of combos with 3 turrets

Thought it might be THE ONE time a HEL auto might be good

It dried up in 1min

[ocean spindle]

heah those things dont last very long
tbh if u are gonna try it id maybs suggest 3 burst sentries, since its the best one, or if u idk wanna try maybs two burst and one auto so the auto staggers the burst keeps killing

or assing one person with a machinegun to also be killing the enemies while yall focus scan

[peak geode]

Yeah

We'll give it another crack the next time

Feels a lot like a shotgun (weapon, no sentry) scenario, but we are def doing it wrong

Thanks for the advice

The HEL sentry feels just slightly off

Either needs +2 more dps or a slightly slower ROF

Because it just hoses bullets too much in order to keep that stagger effect

[ocean spindle]

it is very niche on its use case in general tbh, its only a stagger sentry it really isnt focused on being damaging
for some levels it works better than others but ah maybs they touch it in the enext balancing patch

which would b cool

also yeah shotties on that level would work well, but also probs some like fast dps shit like hel revo or carbine or machineguns

since u got enemies like so close

funny thing is, that might be like hardest part of the level, but defo, DEFO isnt the funniest

:3

[peak geode]

Once again, thanks for the advice and heads-up

[ocean spindle]

dont thank me i just like talkin gtfo skdmk

[tame fulcrum]

Any recommendation for the achievement clearing an a-tier without firing weapons? I guess something with loads of mined doors and a silent extraction

[tardy ingot]

class 5 > class 3

also more based

[shy hull]

Knife

[tardy ingot]

you can easily do say r7a1 with just mines/foam and a sentry

just melee the few enemies that dont insta die

[tame fulcrum]

Sounds like a plan. I think I did that one when it was the newest content for a free weekend back in the day. Slowly working through the whole game with a group now, but I just got more time than the rest

[ocean spindle]

:b

[tardy ingot]

id just recommend bio, 2 burst sentries and a mine deployer

find fog repellers and throw them downstairs

have burst sentries near the left stair case aiming at spawn. Then just do scans and shoot enemies coming at ya (having 1 giant killer helps when theres 1 or 2 and is also nice later on in the level for... reasons)

[celest sphinx]

How to find R1A1 lobby?

[ocean spindle]

hello! u can check the LFG channels to share n join lobbies, 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

[sly granite]

anywhere to find the models?

[noble wind]

#hc-modded then gtfo modding server u can ask there

[sly granite]

awesome sauce thanks

[noble wind]

[crisp salmon]

best fully automatic main?

[civic wave]

I think stats wise heavy smg, but pdw has thermal scope which is great utility (do not ruin your own gameplay by being overly relient on thermal scopes)

[ocean spindle]

hel autopiss has regain some strength lately, but it is a bit niche on its stagger but a good auto from what ive been seein

not the best but very useful

hel shotgun its very very good tho slightlyyyy situational

[past mesa]

hel shotty

[civic wave]

it's always hel shotgun

[dry pumice]

Depending on what you seek, but generally i think it is Heavy SMG right now.

Its pretty much a direct upgrade to Assault Rifle. Hits harder, hits faster, got whole 3 more bullets in mag, somehow has less recoil and is just more controlable.

[craggy pier]

if u full auto hel shotty ur trolling tho

[civic wave]

there was a giant in front of me

[craggy pier]

ok

[dry pumice]

The only thing that's worse is quicker damage fall off kick in, but increased damage and stable recoil compensate for it anyway so who cares.

[craggy pier]

sometimes

but usually holding down doesnt give you as much value as timing your shots

[civic wave]

yea

[craggy pier]

discovered PR is full auto not too long ago

[civic wave]

it's like combat shotgun, I rarely ever full auto that

even if firing into a giant

[craggy pier]

cant imagine ever using that outside of kraken

[past mesa]

if you full auto most guns in this game you are probs trolling

[dry pumice]

You can side-grade to either PDW for thermals, to HEL Auto Pistol for crowd control, or to Machine Pistol for superior close range DPS.
AR and BullPup have nothing to offer. AGAIN.

[craggy pier]

i love tap firing the machine pistol

[past mesa]

Yeah

[craggy pier]

i thought ur a bullpup enjoyer artek

or have u switched to burst pistol

[dry pumice]

I was

And that one time they buffed was amazing

But they ruined it AGAIN

[craggy pier]

what was the nerf?

[ocean spindle]

longer reload and less dmg i believe?

[civic wave]

reload speed

[dry pumice]

Worse

They nerfed damage fall off

It used to have a genuine selling point of being a mid-range weapon.

Having 15m put it way above the siblings.

Now its generic 10m, same as AR.

Literally destroyed.

[craggy pier]

unrelated but how many seconds is scream cooldown

[dry pumice]

Nerfing reload speed again was just the cherry on top

[past mesa]

depends on the enemy

[craggy pier]

o ok

[dry pumice]

The gun's genuinely shit now

[craggy pier]

is there a list somewhere?

[past mesa]

nope i think this is unused info true would be able to get one

[craggy pier]

mk

[dry pumice]

They literally had it. It was literally fine. And they fucked it up because muh usage percentile.

For fuck's sake, i'm never getting over it.

[craggy pier]

basing balance off pickrate is insanely dumb

average fps player thats new to gtfo sees assault rifle and clicks

[civic furnace]

only one I know for giant is like 20sec

[timid grove]

how long have i been gone?

[lone mortar]

Oh youre that valorant god right?

[timid grove]

huh? nah i hate valorant when i tried to download it it corrupted my harddrive

Not everythings gotta be replied bus

Who knows truu might be on phone rn

#gtfo-media message

[native sun]

I am indeed on phone, and the reply didn't stay after swapping to a DM to copy paste

[lone mortar]

My senses were tight today

[median spire]

whats up, just got the game cos its on sale. I know nothing besides what's shown on the steam page. Any tips or YouTube vids I should watch? or is it better to go in completely blind?

[lone mortar]

Go blind

[median spire]

aight 👍

[frail heart]

Yep blind is the best way

The funnest way

[median spire]

sounds good

[grizzled patrol]

now that i think about it, do we have some specific requirements for the C-foam Tripmines to spawn (naturally, without it being scripted)?

i managed to find them on the lower rundowns with some incredible low chances

was thinking that it maybe tied to a specific environment like syringes being tied to labs

[native sun]

It's just level/zone dependent

[native sun]

This just isn't even true, syringes can be found in many levels that don't use the labs environment

[grizzled patrol]

true. but the chances are much higher

[past mesa]

No

There is no rng to items

[craggy pier]

as a smart person once said ur not a true gtfo player if you dont spread misinformation

[sturdy glen]

I mean there kinda is

[past mesa]

They are set distributions per zone

[sturdy glen]

the box spawning period

[past mesa]

Don’t blow his mind twice

[sturdy glen]

r8b4 fog rep spawns go hard

[past mesa]

in 5 min

[median spire]

true, I heard you can find 200 coins under the bridge in the first level

[past mesa]

It’s true

[craggy pier]

is there even a bridge in the first level

certainly no bridge tile

[sturdy glen]

ye

the big room in key zone

[craggy pier]

its been a while

[past mesa]

I love the bridge

[craggy pier]

clearly i need to replay every level so I know whats true and what isnt so I can more accurately spread misinformation

[shy hull]

Big chungus is in r1b1

[tardy ingot]

Dunno if it was answered

But i actually asked this info of tru yesterday for the guides sake

Generally it depends on the enemy and theres a min and max value thats chosen by chance

generaly you get at minimum 4 (for most enemies 5 tho) seconds. But sometimes up to a minute depending on enemy

[craggy pier]

it was answered

[tardy ingot]

ah i just saw

[tardy ingot]

Tru the goat

[craggy pier]

frfr

musicmommy

[tardy ingot]

Wait i just realized

theres a snatcher on the list

but i dont think snatchers can scream?

at least they never did after minutes of testing

Welp guess i gotta go again

[native sun]

I'm just reading the number off the thing, doesn't mean they can actually do it

[tardy ingot]

yea dw

ill hop in once ive eaten and test

btw after testing the long range aggro stuff, it got very close to the numbers you gave

Knife kill: 33/100
Non knife kill: 88/200
Wake up: 76/100

[native sun]

Yippee!

[tardy ingot]

confirmed

snatcher cant wake up a room

staying in a room with a snatcher for 10 minutes and he didnt do shit

[lone mortar]

dang it i tried to join

thanks yall we did b2 !!!!!

[topaz anvil]

[graceful rock]

Heya,

me and my buddy recently started playing GTFO and while we managed to complete three missions so far there's something that's bothering us.

When we attempt to stealth kill regular sleepers, sometimes they only take partial damage and might alert the others. Is there specific weak-spot, weapon or timing we are missing? We've tried different weapons, attack when light on/ off and hit different body parts (head, butt etc.) but it feels random wheter target dies on first hit or not.

[digital mural]

what melees are you using?

[graceful rock]

We've tried pretty much all of them, but most likely kill we've managed to get with either hammer or spear (and reading this discord-chat's archieve people seem to recommend knife for speedrunning, hammer if able to take notice of upwards hit angle or spear as regular option).

[digital mural]

hammer/bat are the most easy to use for stealth kills

they do a lot of damage

on the other hand

you need to hit a full charge to the head with the knife

to kill the regular enemies

spear also works to kill enemies but it needs a bit more of precision and its slow

so spear against a bunch of enemies might be risky

[topaz anvil]

You should be fully charging your melee for stealth kills.this will kill regulars with hammer and spear. Hitting the head front or back will kill with a full charge on all weapons

[graceful rock]

So head is the weakspot?

[topaz anvil]

(there is a damage multiplier for hitting the back)

[digital mural]

back of the head is the weakest weakspot

[graceful rock]

Understood, thanks for explaining.

[digital mural]

i really recommend using hammer or bat

until you get used a bit more to the game

[tame fulcrum]

In general Heads are weakspots, backside too. There can be exceptions. If you hit the back of the head you combine weakspots and do even more damage. Hitting the backside can be wonky, because the game calculates that based on where you and the monster are. The sleepers that are bent over forward on the ground have their back pointing up, but if you hit it while standing in front of their head it won't count as a hit on the back even if it looks like you are hitting the back

[shy hull]

since you are quite experienced, can you stab a scout and quickly stab it again if it didnt die in one hit without it screaming?

cuz i tried it but maybe i was too slow

[tardy ingot]

alone no

well not rly but its not worth going into that

with multiple players its just a thing of timing

[shy hull]

and w knife it only dies w a backstab to the occiput

right

[tardy ingot]

ye

[shy hull]

oki

[noble wind]

is it the same if a tank walks over 3 nades worth of foam as throwing them at him

[wintry kayak]

as an addition, you can run through an enemy and immediately after there will be a few frames where you can release your hammer and get a back hit even though you are facing both away from the enemy and probably hitting their front

[wintry kayak]

they are the same cfoam amount values but not the same amount of consistency. A tank will probably not glob up all three nades while walking through them and a nade thrown directly at it may just phase through because game collisions tend to be broken

[noble wind]

thats reassuring

thanks

[tardy ingot]

they would only rly go through them if thrown from too close

[wintry kayak]

ohhhhh that makes so much sense

bc the projectile hasn’t spawned yet?

damn

I did not know this

[tardy ingot]

kinda ye

[wintry kayak]

kinda?

explain plz

is it a host client thing

[tardy ingot]

nono

im not too well versed on it so i wouldnt anker down on the "not spawned yet" part

[wintry kayak]

alright

[noble wind]

i can confirm the too close it hasnt spawned thing

cuz if u do it looking at a door it will go through it (in the door's face)

[civic wave]

@wintry kayaknades don't have a collision box so if you full punt it at something right in front of your face it still flies true

that's pretty much it iirc

[wintry kayak]

ah

does it matter if you’re host

[civic wave]

shouldn't

but I'm not actually sure

I mean easy thing to do is load into r7c3 and check ig

[wintry kayak]

bc it could also be that when a client throws a foam nade it will not have an effective collision box on the host until the host has registered the projectile spawn (because host does cfoam calculations or else it would cause issues with mismatched clients)

I know host calculates whether an enemy is cfoamed or not and whether a cfoam launcher launches its blobs or not

but cfoam nades seem much more uhhh

generic

in this case

so clients could technically register a cfoam nade hit on an enemy and pass it onto host

[civic wave]

after testing with cconsole

yeah there is no collision box at all

doesn't matter if host or client

simply know the jank and work around it

[minor viper]

yo carbine with machinegun combo?

or what to switch out machinegun with

[civic wave]

machine gun works, depends what's being asked of you

if you want to kill big enemies probably burst cannon or scattergun or choke mod

for general usage a machine gun is fine though

[storm storm]

yo just got the game with my friend and was wondering how to do a private matchmake?

[noble wind]

If you are friends on steam
Host a lobby and have 1 of the slots open by selecting players only or players and bots

Then your friend can join by clicking the expedition (it will be highlighted by a red border indicating a friend is hosting) then click join X

[storm storm]

thanks we got it!

[civic wave]

Create your own lobby by clicking on a mission and then Host Lobby, then either invite through steam/discord, or use lobby codes

[noble wind]

Or you can copy the lobby code
A red button will appear to the right of the screen
Click it and give the code to your friend the be copies that and it will give him the option to join

[polar night]

Install admin system and kick the bots at the beginning of the campaign.

[unreal portal]

Oh bout that i just use console to kick

But with left4bots they wouldn’t be unmanageable

[polar night]

Soloing without buts is more fun anyway. Its really annoying if the bots mess with the infected aggro.

I have seen tanks throw rocks backwards because they switched the target like 0.1 seconds before the throw.

Bs like that does not happen in a true solo.

[craggy pier]

How do you set up or ask for a lobby?

[polar night]

When you select a rundown and then a mission within that rundown (one that you have unlocked), you can host a lobby. In the top right corner should be a red button that copies the lobby id. You can send that to others so they can join.

[ocean spindle]

for puttin up lobbies in this discord server and have people join u, u can check the LFG channels, the instructions are in https://discord.com/channels/408196129470152705/653623062964731920

[ocean spindle]

uh

[soft crater]

[jaunty tapir]

Hey whats a level with scouts really early to practice on

[ocean spindle]

r7b1 has 3 right at the start, but if u dont have it r1a1 has 2 with some enemies after one alarm

[jaunty tapir]

thanks

[soft crater]

R6B1 has a single isolated one iirc right after a quick alarm

[lone mortar]

yooo super wash

long time no see bud

[jaunty tapir]

heya

[tribal flower]

Hey folks

I'm playing through the game with a group of friends and was looking for some friendly beginner-intermediate tips?

[jaunty tapir]

Walking is king.

[lost flame]

Don't move when they glow, especially when they blink

[ocean spindle]

if u locked urself into only 2 guns, u should branch out since most guns are good in this game and u uually need to adapt to levels, so dont pick short range weapons if u see a mission has a lot of hallways, or dont pick a sniper if u notice u dont really need em cause theres not a lot of big enemies... that kinda thing

enemies when glowin sense more whrn u kill their buddies, so if u ever had some guy wake up at the other side of the room while killin another thats probably why; to kill as safely make sure no ones glowin in a range of 4 5 meters [more than the range of ur base flashlight for comparison], u can also flash enemies with ur light and sync em

[lost flame]

Stealth is a convoluted game of red light green light

[jaunty tapir]

learn hearing distances and enemy timings.

[lost flame]

A hammer is a good jack of all trades, a reliable melee to get used to

[ocean spindle]

and uh on sentries usually burst its the all rounder, but dont lock into 4 sentries or 3 sentries for all levels, foam and mines together form a very poweful combo, and sometimes 2 sentries and one mine are super good for flexibility
biotrackers always good to have no matter the level

[lost flame]

At a full charge, it doesn't matter where you hit thr smaller targets

[tribal flower]

for clarification, I've played some of r7 (that's when we started playing) and then stopped for awhile. recently we have picked it back up and are going from the start

[ocean spindle]

[the tongue ones, the shooters u oneshot on the back or the head with full charge]

[lost flame]

Always bring bio tracker, some levels are fine without but those are very few and you won't really know ahead of time

[ocean spindle]

always worth to have one

[lost flame]

There's yet to be a level where it isn't useful

[tribal flower]

the most recent level we played is alt r1c1?

[ocean spindle]

what elseee mhhh
well always pay attention to ur objective stack and the text pop ups, they will always say good info u might need to know on certain levels like where to go and whats happenin with some enemies or waves

[tribal flower]

it's a reactor level

[ocean spindle]

yeh r1c1

that b the one, the wall for most people ksdmkm

[tribal flower]

is bio scanner worth it for reactor levels?

[lost flame]

Yeah

They're not needed there

But still good

[livid stone]

4 sentries 4 machine guns

[lost flame]

Bring all sentries or 3 sentries 1 bio for reactor levels

[ocean spindle]

it provides good intel on enemies, how far are they and even the type once u get to like see their movement and height

[ocean spindle]

3 sentries one bio, 4 machineguns? no no

at least one or two big dmg weapons for bigger targets

[lost flame]

For newer players, bio is good for telling where an enemy is

[ocean spindle]

otherwise hybrids will shred quickly
