[livid stone]

4 burst cannons

[tribal flower]

my standard loadout is hel rev and hel rifle?

[ocean spindle]

thats a pretty good loadout

[tribal flower]

ima launch the game to check

[ocean spindle]

hel rev super efficient on smaller targets and hel rifle for the long ranges on that level, mwah

[jaunty tapir]

Depends on the level and how effective you are at using them

[lost flame]

You should sometimes rotate, some levels demand a different loadout

[jaunty tapir]

Hel Shotguns a goat though

[lost flame]

But that loadout will serve you well

[tribal flower]

im usually pretty good with the rev but i notice i dont swap to the dmr as often as i should

[lost flame]

Revolver is good for smaller enemies

Rifle for big boys and for multikills at a distance

[ocean spindle]

hel revo and hel rifle i guess u mean

'revolver' and 'rifle' are two different weapons too ksdmk

[tribal flower]

oh yeah

mb

hel rev and hel rifle

[ocean spindle]

ah i wasnt referrin to u but yeh names on this game can be bit similar sometimes

but well for c1 that sounds very very good

with a good holdin position those multi kills shine

[tribal flower]

walking is not a bad thing then?

like for stealth sections i mean?

[lost flame]

Crouch walk yea

[ocean spindle]

when u walk towards an enemy, itll start glowin, and if u keep goin while chargin ur melee u can kill it before it fully alerts

u can also hit multiple enemies in a row with any melee without wakin up a room, as long as u time ur charges well to kill in just one hit without needin to full charge every time

it takes some practice, and its not for super packed gigantic rooms unless ur team knows what they doin and know how to coordinate, but it can save a hella lot of time on those smaller rooms

when i kina got the handle of it, it cut my one hour runs into 40 30 min runs

[tribal flower]

are you crouch walking or standing?

sometimes i struggle to get a headshot when im crouched as i use the knife

[ocean spindle]

standing up, if u crouch to an enemy itll keep sleepin, but when u walk towards one itll start glowin as soon as u get in its detection range

with knife walkin to sleepin enemies its way more efficient cause u can tackle groups of 3 or more way more easily due to the fast charge

as long as u got the precision hits practiced n stuff

[tribal flower]

right, I'm practicing as we go lol

anyway, thanks for the pointers y'all if I have any other questions I'll be sure to ask.

[ocean spindle]

okeee, good luck on ur knoife kills

[craggy pier]

where update

[eternal bridge]

Update?

[craggy pier]

there is supposed to be an update soon for bug fixes and balance changes

[frail heart]

dont worry its coming out this year

[craggy pier]

😭

[trim rock]

@craggy pier Sorry, it was all me just coping

[craggy pier]

wgat

[trim rock]

The patch isnt real it can't hurt you. || Oh wait.. ||

[craggy pier]

praying on the revival of sniper

[ruby girder]

is this game playable with bots only??

[craggy pier]

no

its up to 4 player co-op

[tardy ingot]

Bio is generally just the tool that you should always take

Having 4 sentries doesnt pose an advantage over it either

[lost flame]

Yeah but people get angry at me when I say that

[tardy ingot]

Who would lol

[lost flame]

Nobody in their right mind, in my opinion

But I've started arguments in vcs over it and I don't like doing that

So I just shut my mouth and find a middle ground

[tardy ingot]

anyone who thinks not taking bio in a 4 man is the „better idea“ doesnt rly know what they are talking about

tho i gotta obviously add. Theres challenge runs where you wont take it (and youd rather have it in the hand of a good bio player generally)

[craggy pier]

there is no sitch where you gain from taking another tool over bio in 4 man, ever

assuming its being used correctly ofc

[tardy ingot]

some challenge runs

[craggy pier]

the point of a challenge is making the game harder implying that having bio would make it easier which proves my point

[grand elm]

What was the mission in r3d1 again? Im thinking of trying to do it solo with boosters

[frail heart]

Error alarm. Do class 3. Do blood door. Do class 6. Take baby to thingy. Fight mom. Do class 5. Do charger zone with 2 charger scout and bbc's. Do shooter only alarm. Kill Pmom. Do big ass blood door. Win

@grand elm

[grand elm]

ty ❤️

[grand elm]

P mom is the big version of mommy?

[frail heart]

yessir

[grand elm]

||fuck||

[frail heart]

lol

[grand elm]

wait, does the error alarm stop at any point of the mission?

or does it just go non-stop

[frail heart]

it stops after you put the baby in the pointy thing

Then mom spawns

Also pmom was a lot easier in solo before sniper nerf

[noble wind]

scattergun

[grand elm]

or burst canon

[noble wind]

that wont last long

[frail heart]

old sniper would still be better for the run

[grand elm]

considering the waves becoming bigger?

[grand elm]

Still would be good for big waves of enemies

especially giants

[frail heart]

Na cause easier to deal with charger zone, hybrids and pmom

[grand elm]

Honestly havent ever done with a full stacks / bots so should be interesting doing this solo

if not imma do it with second bot

but still thanks for the info @frail heart ❤️

[frail heart]

allg

[tardy ingot]

i mean challenges like solo/duo/speedruns and others that are generally harder with a bio sometimes

[dry pumice]

To an extent.

[lone mortar]

artek has been with bots for a lontg time

before he finally stepped up to pubs in R8

[dry pumice]

Unfortunately any time the game decides to step up difficulty it means that one attempt will not be good enough.
Most A and B are cleared first time - do stealth, setup, do scan, rinse and repeat until it is done.
Once the game starts throwing curved balls at you - that's usually 2 attempts at least, where on 1st one you learn to min-max the optimal route and then you B-line for it on 2nd attempt.

[keen seal]

Any guesses or information on what the least picked main and special in the game are?

[lone mortar]

nope

enlighten us tuho

[wintry kayak]

its gonna be double tap and uhhh

maybe normal revo?

or HAR

short rifle is also ass but I guess people use that still bc its new

[keen seal]

bro I don't know that's why I'm asking

[lone mortar]

burst pistol/sniper

[topaz anvil]

least picked being sniper isn't true and you know that

Just because it was nerfed 6 feet under doesn't mean people aren't using it

it's probably the bad machinegun

[lone mortar]

i love spreading misinfo (i use sniper in 75% runs nowadays)

[tardy ingot]

also very likely not the case as its a decently feel good gun for beginners

tho man its so much easier to tell whats picked a lot...

[dry pumice]

Could be literally anything.

[tardy ingot]

least picked... hm my mind would wander to

burst pistol, burst rifle, hel shotgun, sawed off (well prob not anymore) and maybe double tap rifle?

specials... burst cannon/scattergun overall would definetly sit low

i can see hel gun being kinda low too

0.3 definetly was among the least picked

no beginner would touch it, rarely if ever did vets outside of very dedicated ones

[lost flame]

is burst rifle not that good?

[tardy ingot]

its good/fine

i just think/feel like beginners rarely pick it

[lost flame]

ah

[tardy ingot]

and more experienced players dont take it either most of the time

but not sure

like all weapons but the burst pistol i put out are good or rly good

[lone mortar]

@tardy ingot gamer girl take on burst pistol

[grizzled patrol]

Isnt Hel Shotgun one of the top Tier weapons? Or does no1 use it because of the high Skill Floor?

[lone mortar]

is it doo doo or is it gud

[dry pumice]

I think Machine Pistol might be a suspect

[tardy ingot]

people kinda avoid shotguns
hel shotgun feedback isnt "1 shot 1 kill" so even more stop

its not rly hard to play. but it needs you to play into its strength (at which point its like 2nd best main pretty much)

[dry pumice]

I imagine most people bring it, ask themselves "WHY CAN I NOT HIT ANYTHING? WHY IS HIPFIRE SO BIG? WHY DO I HAVE TO ADS WITH THIS CQC GUN?" and then then they never pick it up again

[tardy ingot]

gotta remember that the worse players/beginners make up a lot of the hours in this game

[tardy ingot]

but many bullets

[dry pumice]

I doubt they even notice

And who cares if you miss half of them

[tardy ingot]

they mostly look at bullets

early on

"my shotgun only has 25 bullets left" gotta safe those its so bad

(meanwhile shotgun at like 90% ammo and main at 5%)

[lone mortar]

real

[lost flame]

thank fuck for % on ammo to help me decide what guns i should be using more

[tardy ingot]

i mean % isnt perfect either

sniper being at 80% doesnt mean you get a lot out of it vs smalls

[lost flame]

yea

but it helps me at least be better with ammo consumption

[unreal portal]

How do u solo giants with bots, cant seem to one shot the guy and holy hell 40% swing is no joke. I use a hammer btw

[tardy ingot]

make bots get behind it
fully charge and hit back of the head (it will hard stagger)
either bots hit now and it dies

or you gotta hit a 2nd time (bots will usually hit here at the latest) to break another limb from behind

[unreal portal]

So basically everyone behind the giant, I smack his head on the back, hard stagger then go for another smack at a limb to finish him, right?

[frail heart]

Pretty much

[tardy ingot]

be careful tho
you dont quite get time to do a 2nd fully charged hit (unless the bots all hit, but then it should die anyway)

realistically its just best to get a 2nd human

as that opens up mostly every level in the game

[unreal portal]

Hmm but only the hammer can hard stagger giants right?

[frail heart]

The spear can as well

[unreal portal]

Ohhh

[frail heart]

But the spear isnt a very good weapon

[tardy ingot]

bat can too knife can too

its just harder

[ocean spindle]

all melees can if u break a limb, which means bat and knife with a full charge in the back do it

[frail heart]

Yeah

Bat can solo stagger easily

[unreal portal]

Ohhhhh

Will try bats

[ocean spindle]

bat can soft stagger every full charge but those are iffy, very short

tbh id say spear

its best for like learnin

specially for the range

[unreal portal]

Ogey, ya i sometimes miss hilariously

Thanks guys

[frail heart]

Have fun in your runs :D

[tardy ingot]

spear is definetly the "easiest" to solo kill (not solo stealth tho necessarily, but definetly there too)

why do you need to stealth a giant btw?

just try to stealth the rest of the room ,then shoot

or melee into shooting right after

anyway

ya got this

[ocean spindle]

i guess just practice for when things happen and ur team like separates

or the achievement

[tardy ingot]

i dont think you are allowed to have bots help

for that

[unreal portal]

I’m practicing fast stealth with bots, crouching all the time is way too slow

[wise cliff]

What is the artifact heat thing?

[ocean spindle]

with bigs tbh id say its worth to crouch, since one of em can wipe ur bot team in seconds

[tardy ingot]

thats good (but has nothing to do with stealthing giants with bots)

[unreal portal]

And u just love to see they clip through doors

[ocean spindle]

artifact heat its a way to measure how valuable are artifacts to the progress of a booster
for example
100% artifact heat means one artifact gives 0.15% of a booster
but 50% artifact heat means one artifact will give 0.07
when the number hits 1.00, a booster is given.

[ocean spindle]

real

me tryin to mine a door

their silly ass:

[wise cliff]

thank you

[unreal portal]

How bout recognize it AFTER u foamed a door

Right when i pull the alarm

Hackett u ||bitch||

[ocean spindle]

ah time to hit esc and kick em

[unreal portal]

Sure did lmao

Btw we r all wear gas masks, how r we getting infected?

By breathing too

[turbid horizon]

they're not built to filter super fine particles

[ocean spindle]

my guess was that masks are more for comms and other viruses, but infections just too hard to counter

[turbid horizon]

frosty has explained this somewhere

that the masks are for partiulates like dust and smoke

not meant to filter out infectious stuff

you'd need a more specialized mask for that

[unreal portal]

But isnt that the point of GAS masks, like preventing the toxin in the air

[tardy ingot]

gas masks dont rly filter everything

[unreal portal]

They look really big ngl

[tardy ingot]

and you can argue that the infectous fog is so dense with it

that it just cant block it all well enough

[wise cliff]

It might work for 90% of everything, but some stuff gets through

Just imagine how bad it would be without them...

[ocean spindle]

every mask will have a counter, imean u probs heard some kinds of masks can block very very fine specimens but that isnt more effective, and instead ones with bigger filters block fine particles better

well somethin like that

[unreal portal]

Ye would be hell down there

[unreal portal]

Shadow giants…. my ptsd

U dont die from the infection, but from the fact u cant see shit

[hot forge]

What are some of the best single shot/burst main weapons?

[ocean spindle]

single shot hel revo, dmr, sawed offs pretty good too
burst carbine pretty on top, burst rifle too

[hot forge]

the carbine feels a bit like a peashooter, is that just me?

[ocean spindle]

probs, carbine witha burst in the head and a burst in the body kills a small enemy
and if u just do bodyshots u should kill it with a three burst

plus its firerate just makes it super easy

[hot forge]

Yeah ig

I quite like the revolver honestly

[tardy ingot]

basically ye
top 3 main generally

easily the best burst main in the game

[ocean spindle]

there isnt a lot of competition tbh

burst rifle i guess

[tardy ingot]

if you want an overall tierlist (or recommendations for beginners) then ill gladly point you towards some videos i made

[hot forge]

yes please

[tardy ingot]

dont by some vets (just dont take everything for 100% granted just cuz its higher/lower) theres still player comfort/skill with a weapon and team loadout aswell as level/scenario to be accounted for in the end)

[tardy ingot]

can find it in my bio

[tardy ingot]

ye
at best you got a rly cracked DTR user

[dry pumice]

Its like top3 DPS among mains, overshadowed only by ridicilous guns like Sawed Off and HEL Shotgun

[narrow niche]

Burst rifle isn't nearly as good

[worn crow]

Is it just me or does it sometimes only reload to 29 despite having plenty of reserve ammo?

[ocean spindle]

that happens to a lot of guns

rounding issue

[hazy wedge]

Dmr/har moment

[ocean spindle]

burst pistol

machinegun

[narrow niche]

Ar moment

[dry pumice]

Many guns do that

Which is amazing

I don't know many games where the game fails to reload your gun properly

Thank fucking god it doesn't do that with Sniper Rifle or something

[narrow niche]

Back to 3 shot sawed off when?

[worn crow]

It always feels like it happens more often with the burst rifle for me compared to other guns

Glad to know I’m not crazy at least

[narrow niche]

Anything with over 30 ammo tbh

Except carbine for some reason

[foggy ridge]

dmr says hi

but yea mostly with guns with a mag capacity of 30 or above

• dmr

[narrow niche]

Oh yeah the good mg doesn't do it too much for me

[hazy wedge]

Not sure why they haven’t fixed it. Have to run Archive so it fixes that issue

[narrow niche]

It doesn't break anything too bad excluding dmr

But I don't use dmr

[hazy wedge]

I sometimes do for the long range

[narrow niche]

Meh

I'm lazy and hel revo soooo

[peak geode]

Hey, is this still up to date?
https://gtfo.fandom.com/wiki/Van_Auken_CAB_F4_Carbine

Because the WIKIA description makes this gun sound incredible

Is it better than the Burst Rifle currently?

[narrow niche]

By quite a bit

[tardy ingot]

yes

[narrow niche]

Probably the best beginner main

[tardy ingot]

has been since.. basically both have been brought back

[peak geode]

Thanks

[narrow niche]

No thoughts in head just carbine spam

[peak geode]

Haven't played b4 the last huge sale

So I am still fumbling arround trying the guns and seeing what fits

[narrow niche]

Try hel revo hel shotty... Maybe an automatic? Sawed off if you don't value range that much

[peak geode]

And some guns do feel off

Or pointless

I started with the HEL Revo

Love it for so many reasons

[narrow niche]

The automatics?

Well-

[civic wave]

let me guess, hel autopistol feels useless to you (right now)

[peak geode]

The Assault Rifle feels worse than the Burst

Oh, I get the point of the HEL Auto

[narrow niche]

They haven't played in like a couple months :P

[tardy ingot]

carbine (if it feels good to you) will be the best choice

[civic wave]

yeaaaah assault rifle is sad, has been been outclassed for a long while

[tardy ingot]

easy to use

[peak geode]

Don't have a team that coordinated yet to dedicare one man to stagger duty

[tardy ingot]

high impact

[narrow niche]

Or wait

[echo cypress]

stats wise - burst is better

[narrow niche]

When was the last sale

[echo cypress]

assault is worst primary

[narrow niche]

Ehat

[tardy ingot]

for a second i thought ya meant burst rifle is better than carbine

[peak geode]

Christmas

[tardy ingot]

i was about to smack

[narrow niche]

Oh

Lmao

[peak geode]

Yeah, we are still at R2D1

And did some R3 stuff

[narrow niche]

Burst is better almost made me puke

[peak geode]

Being adults with jobs and all that

[echo cypress]

[narrow niche]

Lmao

[lone mortar]

Were so back with carbine

[narrow niche]

Esp with the helpp buff

[peak geode]

Is the Rifle any good?

Because

Hear me out

[narrow niche]

Why didn't they buff ar tf

[echo cypress]

dmr better

[peak geode]

It feels like a worse DMR

[narrow niche]

Meh

[echo cypress]

dont even wanna hear you out

[peak geode]

But

[lone mortar]

Massive head game diff

[peak geode]

I am also learning this, so I will immediately concede to skill issue and being new to this

[narrow niche]

It's funny to run rifle srifle but other than that is meh

[civic wave]

rifle is more like pistol than it is dmr

[echo cypress]

^

[civic wave]

but rifle reload cancel got butchered so it is slightly sad

[lone mortar]

Head game diff

[narrow niche]

Pistol isn't used either so

[tardy ingot]

@peak geode honestly
id just recommend checking out the tierlist videos ive got on my channel if you wanna ask about weapons
it encompasses most of that

[narrow niche]

:P

[echo cypress]

brother is plugging that yt channel at all costs

[tardy ingot]

i still cant believe that i talked about it having one of the best reload cancels days before

[peak geode]

Good plug, good plug LMAO

But I will

GTFO content is scarce

[echo cypress]

[lone mortar]

Very

[peak geode]

A lot of it feels outdated

[lone mortar]

[narrow niche]

2 shot sniper you can empty the mag in 2 years

[tardy ingot]

im not "plugging" to get views and be fame
its a video to help beginners with that stuff, so i want them to see it if it can help

[peak geode]

It's a good Giant or tanky variants remover for me, if I wanna keep distance

[echo cypress]

carbine hel-rifle is my goto for anything that doesnt have chargers

[lone mortar]

[echo cypress]

hel shotty and machine gun if chargers

[lone mortar]

I didn’t say that

[narrow niche]

Hel rifle doesn't have chargers hm

Also carbine user smh my head

[echo cypress]

[peak geode]

I am still figuring out the HEL shotty

[echo cypress]

ive always got fucked

probably skill issue

[narrow niche]

[lone mortar]

No bro

Feels a lot like I have to endanger myself to get use it efficiently

[lone mortar]

Theyre not lining up

[echo cypress]

[lone mortar]

No skill issues there man

[narrow niche]

Hs can one shot at close range

Harder than combat but

Possible

You'll probably 2 shot though

im clarifying since people have told me im fame hunting before for playing with friends of mine (and intentionally not streaming for not wanting to seem like that)

[narrow niche]

Arbalist I am biased

[lone mortar]

Ppl say that?

[tardy ingot]

yes

[lone mortar]

What a dumb thing to say

[peak geode]

Fame hunting lol

That is dumb

[lone mortar]

Evas a chill gamer girl that wouldn’t ever do that

Trust

[narrow niche]

Fame hunting by playing gtfo, a game with the biggest playerbase known to history

[peak geode]

What's the deal with the SR?

Never tried it

[lone mortar]

The subnautica death% got more views

[peak geode]

Looks incredibly niche and unappealing

[narrow niche]

It's bad

[lone mortar]

It does 40% at best

Of what’s its advertised

[narrow niche]

Especially if you're a new player

[tardy ingot]

it comes when you have friends that stream to 100-1000 people

[narrow niche]

It will not be fun

[narrow niche]

Hm

[peak geode]

Not that new, but not old either. Just clocked 101 hours

[tardy ingot]

theres actually people that "fame hunt"

[narrow niche]

Haha

[tardy ingot]

and its wack as hell

[narrow niche]

I mean that's not that many hours

[lone mortar]

I need fame

[narrow niche]

Even I have like 450 hours

[lone mortar]

Gotta buidl that twitch creds somehow

[peak geode]

It does feel like that for this game

[turbid mango]

Hi, I'm new here, is the game at it's last update? But more importantly

What's fame hunting?

[narrow niche]

Last content update yea

[turbid mango]

Hm... a new beginning

[civic furnace]

Well in terms of content yea

[lone mortar]

Its just a way to call out those who want fame

[narrow niche]

Hopefully we get a patch eventually

[peak geode]

Any more balancing?

[narrow niche]

Ahemahem

AHEM

[peak geode]

Yeah, a run was borked by a BOT getting stuck under the terrain

[civic furnace]

GRRRR where is sniper buff

[peak geode]

Somehow, this will not be the last time

[lone mortar]

@lilac fulcrum i need GTFO creds systems, i need to build dat online fame

[tardy ingot]

you can kick and respawn bots

GTFO credit card

[peak geode]

Good to know

[narrow niche]

Hcp does much damage revo kinda uh

[lone mortar]

Its that or the sniper revival

[narrow niche]

It headshots smalls?

Idk

[peak geode]

Man, a system that tracks some stuff at the end of the mission would be seem

[tardy ingot]

revolver, small clear. needs headshots. more ammo
high caliber pistol, more all rounder, good vs charger (if in range), body shots weapon (aside from scouts where it kills with headshot)

[peak geode]

Even for self-improvement: Accuracy %, Kills, Time Alive, KOs etc

[narrow niche]

There's a qol mod for that

[civic wave]

some stats won't tell you anything

[peak geode]

Aren't mods heretical?

[lone mortar]

Well timed stuff can ensure you a good uptime

[narrow niche]

Not rn

[turbid mango]

Heretical?

[civic wave]

yeah maybe you're getting like 10% of the kills but you're the DMR player putting 1 headshot into every enemy

[lilac fulcrum]

already told you, we're nerfing the sniper. adding more delay between shots. one per minute, but we're buffing the damage to 1hp less than papa tank

[lone mortar]

[civic furnace]

Grrrrr

[lone mortar]

I need to cook meth

Sniper fucking death star laser

And sell them so i can buy 10CC

Can you buff shotgun to kill tanks with 1 pellet

what's the point of knowing how many kills you get when sentry kills almost everything anything

[turbid mango]

Thank you

[lusty bramble]

have you tried shooting them pachi

perhaps in rundown 8

new rundown just dropped

you can play right now

rundown 8

[lilac fulcrum]

yes, but now it'll take 5 minutes for it to actually fire after you pull the trigger

[civic wave]

beep I don't have 8 rundowns to give

I only have 5

[narrow niche]

Can you give ar more gun

[lilac fulcrum]

yes, but now it's so heavy, that you take one step and die from stamina

[narrow niche]

Good good

[turbid mango]

I can wait, I already wasted 2 hours in R1C1

What's another 5 minutes will do

[civic furnace]

Ou god

[lone mortar]

The bug from this is that you no longer use stamina

And you can long kite R8E2 kraken fight and class VI for 4 hrs

[civic furnace]

Or cancel the alarm :3

[lone mortar]

Eeww

Cancel the alarm?

[civic furnace]

It’s a lame bullet burner alarm

[tardy ingot]

[grand grove]

Do sleepers have proximity hearing? Ie if I push to talk to coordinate an attack will they hear me?

[craggy pier]

No

Funny idea but no

[grand grove]

Thank you!

[vivid sinew]

is R1B1 suppose to have like 30 big dudes that are basically all clumped together? or was i just immensely unlucky

[civic wave]

the zones to the east (I can't remember the numbers) are indeed meant to have lots of giants

[narrow niche]

Yes

[civic wave]

30 next to each other is slightly hyperbole, but if it's a zone full of big guys and fog then yes, it is intentional

[vivid sinew]

ok cuz that was a pain in the ass to deal with, thank you

[narrow niche]

Slightly

[vivid sinew]

i know 30 is an overexaggeration but still for the 2nd lvl ever i thought it would have been a little less yk stressful

[craggy pier]

there is the option to not go to those giant zones if you so choose

[vivid sinew]

i couldnt find one last personal id and knew that there was at least one in that area

[craggy pier]

maybe u do have to visit one

but theres like 3 giant zones

and u can avoid most of them

[dry pumice]

It does, but that area is optional. You can just do the class 3 (4?) scan instead and deal with normal enemies.

[craggy pier]

but u have to do alarms instead

[dry pumice]

Its a trade off. A rare one at that.

[vivid sinew]

i did all the alarms i could find

[dry pumice]

As for levels not being stressful... Yeah... Yeah, this game doesn't really do that.

[craggy pier]

did u check the ids in each zone u went to

on terminal

[vivid sinew]

yeah

[craggy pier]

ah ok

[dry pumice]

As for being lumped together - just a bad spawn RNG

[vivid sinew]

there might have been more somewhere that i didnt full look but still i knew where at least one was and assumed it was fine

the other area also had alot of big guys

so i didnt bother with that one either

[dry pumice]

Can always go loud

[craggy pier]

i dont rememeber the directions but from starting level theres a giant zone further up and 2 to the left

[dry pumice]

Setup back up sentry, kill what you can, take a wake up shot and just run to prepared positions

[vivid sinew]

im not good enough for that and idk how good the bots are for deal with like at least 6 big guys and like 4 of the shooting ones

[ocean spindle]

if u go up for the full alarm path, the full scout path and nab every id, at most i think u gotta do the first zone only of there, i think
there should be 3 ids per zone, so u can always list the zone in the terminal and ping them

[ocean spindle]

as long as u put down sentries/mines, and have an ok weapon for big dmg u should be fine

[craggy pier]

theres enough ammo to shoot up the 2 closest giant zones

[ocean spindle]

just with plannin ahead

like an alarm

bots should always go machinegun cause thats the best for em so u should have the big weapons

aka burst cannon, shotguns, maybs another machinegun if the level doesnt have many bigs

[vivid sinew]

if i ever deal with a similar situation i'll try that

[ocean spindle]

yeah, put down ur mines in tall walls so they only hit bigs, go outside the zone, defend with a lot of vision, etc etc

and u should be fine pullin those rooms

[dry pumice]

To be fair: not very good...
2 sniper sentries, however...

[civic wave]

remember, if you're shooting a lot of enemies you want to have an escape route behind you

you can only hold your ground for so long

[ocean spindle]

yeah, usually what i did on there its hold on the main like hub of the zone, on the center, and if i got overwhelm i ran towards the alarm path

[vivid sinew]

i only had 2 i think burst turrets, scanner, and c-foam on me that run

[ocean spindle]

tbh on that level-

jesus

aight

[mossy aurora]

Post that again

[craggy pier]

what

[dry pumice]

That was quick

[craggy pier]

i looked away for a few seconds

[vivid sinew]

random af but as you were saying slendi?

[ocean spindle]

tbh on that level id say u also nab mines, u can get a very powerful combo of foamin up a door and mining the side ur in so enemies pile up and the boom

also u can mine tall, mines are 50 dmg so one big hittin em its like half of its hp gone

[vivid sinew]

took me 2 hours to beat that cuz i was mindlessly running around trying to avoid the giant area's for last ids but it worked out in the end

it would probably be easier if i had actual people and not just myself and pretty useless bots

[ocean spindle]

they do what they can ksmdkm

i also did that mission with bots

they carried me pretty hard on the alarms since i had too much bad aim...

and still kinda do

[vivid sinew]

alarms arent the annoying part with bots for me, its dealing with just killing sleepers cuz they dont do shit

if i agro a solo big guy they just start shooting it instead of meele like the ai just kinda sucks at that part

[ocean spindle]

if u aggro an area, theyll start shootin

if u aggro one enemy in a room with other enemies, theyll rush in with melee and try to hit it before it screams

[civic wave]

it's worth noting that bots absolutely cannot wake up enemies

[ocean spindle]

and if u hit one single enemy alone they do count it as the area so they shoot too

[civic wave]

and uh, if they somehow do then the enemy AI is broken and won't do anything, I have a clip on my hard drive somewhere

[vivid sinew]

ive noticed lmao, they sprint across the fields with 5 giants all lined up just to get to me

[ocean spindle]

i have one too ksdmkm

once a bot hit another sleeper with their melee and it just stood there

was very fun

but well yeah on stealth u kinda hav to hard carry

lil tip u might not know

when u hit an enemy and another one is glowin, theres a chance it might wake up if its around 4 5 meters close, for reference about the distance of ur base flashlight, lil more but thats ur base
make sure if ur hittin like many enemies in a room that no ones glowin

to better do it, use a gun flashlight which are usually the longer ones to hit the enemies all at once, and make em glow

thatll sync em

[vivid sinew]

oh yeah i know that

ive watched videos and stuff, but recently watching astral spiff got me to actually want to play the game for myself

[ocean spindle]

oh damn ksdmk

aight

u got way more knowledge than i assumed ksks

[vivid sinew]

i know general knowledge but actual gameplay and doing it myself is different

[tardy ingot]

which honestly isnt worth if you consider it
sniper sentry does more dmg with a headshot and basically the same with a bodyshot

(mines are still a good idea incase you pull or want to pull rooms)

also man going into Zone 40 is hell on earth in R1B1

[ocean spindle]

yeah i mean when u dont have sniper sentries its kinda ur biggest thing against em
unless u have, a sniper orr a scattergun

[vivid sinew]

that was where i was

[tardy ingot]

but since you only gotta go into 5 zones MAX you can skip it everytime

i know

[ocean spindle]

yeah i also entered this game like full on knowledge, and then i went into the tutorial and died

tryin to get those 4 sleepers

:3

[vivid sinew]

damn well if i ever replay the lvl good to know

[tardy ingot]

also man
i love spiffs videos (and the gtfo video)
but theres some uhh interesting stuff still happening in their group (i wish them all the luck tho and wanna see more)

[tardy ingot]

yea we had to figure it out for the speedruns on it
doing only 4 zones (good rng) safes lots of time to get the sub 4

[vivid sinew]

"sneak by them, there are too many to deal with"
me- kills all 4 without alerting anything

[ocean spindle]

wah
i thought u couldnt get that stack of 3 without wakin em up ksdmkm

[vivid sinew]

ong spiff is like the only person i can unironically watch his whole vods videos and not get bored

[ocean spindle]

i noticed somethin very funny, e1 its the least challengin level
my guess, the second part, e1 is gonna be the shortest segment

[tardy ingot]

spiff saying he considers R8C1 one of the hardest missions (even counting the E tiers they havent done) is seriously an interesting take

[tardy ingot]

hes a very fun to watch guy ngl
i sometimes just watch him on the side whenever theres 2-3 new videos piled up

[vivid sinew]

no comment from me cuz like yeah 4 hours

[craggy pier]

maybe its just hardest out of missions they've tried/beaten

i didnt watch the vid tho

[tardy ingot]

na he spcifically included that part

including stuff like all the E1s n all

they struggled hard on C1

[craggy pier]

how can u compare if u havent done the E's tho

[tardy ingot]

and started abusing glitches

[craggy pier]

buh

[tardy ingot]

(funny as hell to watch tho)

[craggy pier]

lol

[vivid sinew]

oh yeah that part

was that because of like a tank or smtg whatever its called

[tardy ingot]

that spot is funny as hell to find

but ye... using it was uhhh

tank ye

but that level generally is like mid tier in difficulty

and the later levels have way worse stuff happening quite often

[ocean spindle]

yeah i mean
considerin they did all of r2 till they got to e1, so they know about those alarms
being hardstuck on c1 its kinda funk

[craggy pier]

i can understand ovl being a nightmare for noobs but I dont think comparing it to stuff u havent seen is reasonable

[ocean spindle]

i mean, i think it is the hardest level of the first side of r8

[craggy pier]

def

[tardy ingot]

yea

[ocean spindle]

yeah
so idk i guess new objective plus how vague the level really is on if the shadows keep spawnin or not

i guessed they would reset but not 6 hours ksmdkm

[tardy ingot]

its also incredibly harder if you struggle with planning around the objective

which i think they might not have done in R7?

lemme check

[ocean spindle]

i mean they wouldve known
they probs know till c1

cause they knew what a doggo was

but probs didnt got past the X on d1

or tried to do ov and just failed

[craggy pier]

does sec just add shadows to ovl

[vivid sinew]

me trying to read this is like trying to learn the ins and outs of quantum physics and every detail of nasa

[ocean spindle]

yeah pretty much

i believe

[craggy pier]

ok

[ocean spindle]

:D

[vivid sinew]

anyway yeah r1b1 is suppose to have a shit ton of big guys, if i remember i saw about 24 of them total

[tardy ingot]

they did r7d1 actually

[craggy pier]

with ovl?

[tardy ingot]

but missing a lot of the tougher PEs and generally tougher levels

[tardy ingot]

no

as its bugged i wouldnt give them flak lol

[craggy pier]

yeah i agree

[ocean spindle]

they didnt know corrupted uplinks but knew the d1 thing?

[craggy pier]

very annoying

[ocean spindle]

well it isnt that weird i guess

[tardy ingot]

specific zones ye
39 has a few
40 has A FUCK TON
42 has a few
45... i think can have a few? i dunno, i went there like twice a year ago (i know the layout tho lol)

[tardy ingot]

nono
i thought that was the issue

[craggy pier]

is 40 the last zone to the left

[vivid sinew]

yeah it is

at least i think last

[tardy ingot]

R8C1 honestly seems to be a very knowledge based mission

[ocean spindle]

yeah that ones just capped

[craggy pier]

yeah that zone is fucking massive and has a million giants

[tardy ingot]

like even more so than others

[round ether]

Any advice for R1C1? Im pretty new and struggling with it lol

[ocean spindle]

who has the copypasta

[craggy pier]

play with 4 people, use 3 burst sentries and 1 bio

aim well

[ocean spindle]

ah got its
Captain America: puts foot on chair "So you are having trouble with R1C1"
a reactor is ultimately 3 parts,
1 Wave Defense
2 gathering resources in between
3 getting the code into the terminal in time
If you already know how R1C1's reactor works, then its just the first two things you need, and they can go hand in hand

the most popular place to defend for many reasons is the bridge tile. the hole in the wall at the south end is a great choke point where you can get angles and focus your sentries, the bridge itself is a perfect funnel if/as you fall back, and its only about a 30 second run to the reactor terminal.

i forgot this is really long

this is definitely a 3 sentry + 1 bio tracker level, and when you learn all sentries are not created equal.
Burst is the best all-arounder.
Sniper sentry thrives with bio tracking and the long sight lines on this level.
shot gun sentry is good for tight corners, but goes through tool a bit quickly so it is not well suited for reactors.
Autosentry is in the game and its ok but not for this

[round ether]

ok cool ty!!

[ocean spindle]

its oki, if u have any other questions about stuff u can always ask em !

[candid mist]

so, my friend and i got the game last night and tried doing the first level of r1. we keep getting bodied when opening the keycard door. though, that may be because we're trying to 2-man it with zero experience

[craggy pier]

game is designed to be played with 4 ppl

[candid mist]

we know

[ocean spindle]

the gtfo experience

it is possible with juust 2 tho

and, 2 bots

well also 2 alone but it is funkier

[craggy pier]

yeah if u want just add 2 bots to make the shooting easier

[candid mist]

i'd always go with scanner, he'd always take burst sentry

[craggy pier]

but u should also use ur tools for the key door alarm

[ocean spindle]

u can create a poerwful combo with two more tools, mines and foam
foam can reinforce a door, and if u put a mine on the side ur on it can blowup the entire wave thats behind it

that can make the IV easier

[tardy ingot]

are you not using bots?

[craggy pier]

u can also have 1 person keep the door foamed for a while

[candid mist]

yea, we're trying to get our 3rd friend to join us and use foam

[ocean spindle]

then u can hold with ur sentry while 2 or 3 other people focus scans, or yeah keep shootin foam at the door to keep it going

as long as u keep shootin foam it doesnt break

[candid mist]

the room we kept dying in has 2 doors, is the problem

[ocean spindle]

the small one, they never come from there

[candid mist]

also we arent really sure what weapons to use since there's so many

[ocean spindle]

enemy pathin its a mix of path of least resistance and speed from what i understand
since the big doors just right there, while the other path is two doors, they always go for the big one

so center ur defenses there

[tardy ingot]

1. try them all out and see what you are comfortable with
2. theres tierlist videos on youtube about it made by vets

[ocean spindle]

tbh try em all, see what u like what u dont
dont discard em immediatly they might have a use, just be niche instead

[candid mist]

so far im liking the revolver and sawed off shotgun

[tardy ingot]

path of least resistance puts it the best
shorter path = less walking to do = less resistance in getting to a player

[ocean spindle]

nice nice

[ocean spindle]

yeah i guess yeah
just sometimes they b funky

on some tiles but yeah basically that

[candid mist]

while i know the game is designed with 4 people in mind, would 3 be doable? certainly seems easier than trying to 2 man

[arctic marten]

revolver starts to fall behind as you encounter more big enemies, but sawed off is S tier very good gun

[tardy ingot]

theres actually some times where it just breaks

[tardy ingot]

everything is doable with 2 people without using glitches of any kind

3 is noticeably easier already

but 4 is recommended

[civic wave]

3 people is considerably easier than 2 people

[tardy ingot]

and pls just use bots honestly

they pose a great help, especially early on

[civic wave]

and 4 people is probably only marginally easier than trio anyway

[candid mist]

we really dont wanna use bots, is our thing. since, as far as we know, we cant command them

[ocean spindle]

for tools yes, with Q

[rapid briar]

[ocean spindle]

on stealth no but they dont interact with it, they dont wake enemies ever

no matter the situation

[rapid briar]

one bot with a biotracker is usually fine

[ocean spindle]

on shootin well only in their guns, give em machineguns for security

[candid mist]

so even if a scout tentacles touches them, it wont scream?

[rapid briar]

bots have like a giga biotracker

[arctic marten]

correct

[rapid briar]

it will not scream yes

[digital mural]

bots cant alert scouts

[candid mist]

interesting

[civic wave]

bots can grab heavy items (as long as you're not in a combat state, so no enemies alive)
specific players can choose to have the bot follow them
bots automatically biotrack and do it faster with players with more range
bots can use tools if you use the Q menu as well, some tools work better than others

[candid mist]

so, what would the ideal tool makeup be for a party?
scanner, turret, foam.. and what else

[tardy ingot]

the only issue you will really face with bots (aside from them obviously not being insane shots) is that they path like shit at times/ get stuck which might make them go down

but you can just lock their slot and reopen it and then they respawn

[digital mural]

bio tracker + 2 sentries + mine works pretty well in most levels
but it depends

[civic wave]

normally bio + mines + sentry + 2nd sentry or cfoam

[tardy ingot]

depends on the level
but the generic blind loadouts are

bio tracker - mines - 2 burst sentries
bio tracker - mines - cfoam - 1 burst sentry

[digital mural]

you always WANT a bio in your team

ALWAYS

[civic wave]

some tools get insanely devalued on some levels though, so you might end up taking 3 sentries instead of any mines or foam

[candid mist]

we're both going in blind. more fun that way even if it'd ended up in us getting wrecked repeatedly

[civic wave]

hell yeah, have fun my guy

[digital mural]

if its blind then i recommend the bio + 2 sentries + mines

[candid mist]

so far we're fine at stealth, its just the alarm doors that get us

[tardy ingot]

try to figure out

where enemies spawn

and how they path

that will make it a lot easier

to set up

with tools

[digital mural]

foam the doors for a bit of extra time 👍

[candid mist]

the shooters seem easier to deal with since im usually moving around the room anyway, but the melee ones are troublesome since they're difficult to hit somewhat often

[arctic marten]

they're not too bad, you just need some more experience

if you keep playing you won't have any trouble with them

[candid mist]

also is there a 'best' melee? i like the hammer, whilst my friend likes the spear

[arctic marten]

hammer is widely considered the best

[candid mist]

its fun to just walk on over to a sleeper and bonk em

[arctic marten]

good dmg + pretty good stagger

[candid mist]

if there's a bunch of sleepers in close proximity, will melee swings wake them?

i know gunfire, running, and light wakes them

as well as screams from other sleepers

[arctic marten]

yes if they are very close, also if they are glowing, their range for waking up is increased

[candid mist]

I notice sometimes when they're idle they pulse or throb. When they do that, does that mean they heard the player?

[arctic marten]

yes

[tardy ingot]

gotta finish the freakin stealth guide tmrw
work in 6 hours fml

[arctic marten]

they have 3 states
asleep, glowing/croaking, and throbbing
light and movement near them will cause them to go to the next state
they will also periodically go from asleep to glowing

[tardy ingot]

mountain man
you alone now with whatever is happening in gtfo chat gl

[vivid sinew]

can you one shot scout's with a knife? or is it too low dmg

[craggy pier]

u can

full charged hit back of head

[vivid sinew]

aight

[rapid briar]

🦈

[craggy pier]

did u beat d1

[rapid briar]

no

we havent attempted it again yet

[craggy pier]

done any other levels?

[remote mortar]

im a new player and i play with my friends, and we're stuck at R1C1, best we had done is make it through wave 7 of the reactor alarm

anything you guys think we should be doing to make it past this level

[digital mural]

where are you holding?

reactor room? reactor hallway or the hole in the room?

[civic wave]

up in chat #gtfo-related-questions message

that's the copy pasta

general stuff is
-1 biotracker, 3 sentries (either 3x burst or 2x burst + 1x sniper)
-do not instantly input codes
-hold by the hole in the wall/on the bridge
-use the time between waves to loot resources
-as waves progress you get more time to loot stuff further and further away from reactor

[tribal flower]

a few questions

why is it considered a bad thing to input codes instantly in reactor levels?

[jagged shore]

cause guys don't spawn during the code input timer

[tribal flower]

additionally, why is Spear considered a weak melee option?

[jagged shore]

so generally you're giving people less time to find loot when they would probably like more time to find loot

[tribal flower]

okay that's great info

is the code thing in between waves or just when some code pops up like "float" or something

[mossy aurora]

Spear is generally seen as weak because it's compared to hammer which has more base damage and more mobility. The only thing spear has is range which isn't as impactful as its downsides once you get good with hammer

[civic wave]

pretty slow charge up, charging up spear kinda kills your movement, and it doesn't get super value out of anything either

[jagged shore]

when you have the timer on screen that says "use command reactor verify with code xxxx"

[civic wave]

you also get punished harder for missing headshots compared to hammer

[tribal flower]

is melee diversity in a squad typically the meta?

[jagged shore]

meta is usually just 4 hammers

[civic wave]

to add onto this, enemies only spawn during the High Intensity Test portion which always has red text
A wave will always contain the same amount of enemies, so that can cause funny stuff with the waves getting backed up

Just hammers. They are jacks of all trades with virtually no downsides.
You can have 1 dedicated knife user who can quickly stealth clear rooms full of small enemies and that's about it.
There's no objective reason to have a bat user on squad unless the guy just likes it, same for spear.

you get less time to gather resources or get ready for next wave

so its better to wait until 3-5 seconds remain

bat chads stay winning

Soo I just got the game and HAVE no clue what I am doing... any advice/tips top help?

[dry pumice]

Do TRAINING mission - its a tutorial.
Then either drop into R1A1 with bots to explore you limits, or post a lobby in #lfg-beginners

Thanks!!!!

The only thing you probably need to know that the game does not explain at all - enemies take up to x2 damage if you stand behind them and this stacks with headshot damage.

[digital mural]

also Terminals are you friends

:)

[dry pumice]

Give all bots Burst Rifle + Veruta Machine gun combination, its one of the most optimal ones for them for reasons i don't have time to explain.
Any melee - for them its just skins.
One of the bots should always have a bio tracker.
Never give bots cfoam launcher - they can't aim with it. If you're going to bring one - might as well be you.

And always bring bio tracker

Best tool in the game

oh wait you said it there

im blind

😔

[craggy pier]

I hope that once logs r fixed, everyone trapped here can be free and live a happy life

[digital mural]

bro

its been like

64 days

[frail heart]

Day 64 of no logs. I've grown 6 arms and now roll around like a ferris wheel

[old girder]

question: what does the yellow highlgiht arond levels mean Ex. most the levels in r6

[ocean spindle]

the yellow highlight means its got a focus on lore, either by logs on terminals or directly by the objective
the EXT its a different thing tho, when the rundown released it had a set of levels, but then in an update it got added some, those are the EXT levels, EXTENSION ones

in r6, its 3, ax bx and cx

[old girder]

ohhhh tysm

story missions

some that are story missions don't have it, like R7E1 or R7C3

[unreal portal]

Are the shotgun (what a name) and the combat shotgun gud with giant-type enemies? I played with bots and i'm trying to find a versatile tool for tank killing and somewhat protect myself against close up strikers. Choke mod is nice but i wanna try other shotguns and the hel rifle out.

[sturdy glen]

combat shotguns very good but might lack the dps you probably need into bosses

youre better off taking scattergun over regular shotgun in current balance which is pretty funny

but you will prolly need a high uptime main

would recommend trying combat shotty

[lost flame]

the choke mod shotgun is solid against the big fellas

about 1.2k rpm and if used effectively can kill 2 giant strikers in a single mag (which is 4 bullets)

[unreal portal]

Ya, that and the burst cannon r my goto rn, but i need sth with more ammo for trash defense. The bots sometimes cant protect me well enough

[sturdy glen]

youre not killing 2 giants in 1 mag

most ppl dont care about back damage

(as they shouldnt)

[lost flame]

in a realistic combat scenario, you wont no

unless you're cracked

[unreal portal]

Cuz getting there is a problem itself lol

[lost flame]

just wanted to give a example of how much damage it can do

[sturdy glen]

giving them an unrealistic expectation is not good, hate to tell you

[unreal portal]

But with scattergun, can u oneshot giants in the front? And how close should u be?

[lost flame]

i was getting to the fact they're not realistic to meet.

that wasnt the point

[sturdy glen]

can one shot, gotta be fairly close

[unreal portal]

No worry, i'm pretty realistic (to the point of depression)

[sturdy glen]

the one shot is fairly lenient now cuz it does like 150+ damage

[lost flame]

scattergun can do a crapton but its very close range

[unreal portal]

So basically a blunderbuss||y|| then

[sturdy glen]

tbh it doesnt matter that it wasnt the point, imo its not worth saying period cuz ppl might pick up on the wrong things

[lost flame]

not worth arguing anyway because the intended point was already made.

[craggy pier]

i see u

[lost flame]

dont say it like that

[unreal portal]

How bout hel rifles?

[unreal portal]

I MUST

[lost flame]

nice for multikills

[unreal portal]

ITS TOO GUD OF A CHANCE

[unreal portal]

How bout slaying daddies?

I see on yt the gun staggers very well

[lost flame]

i wouldnt really use it for single target damage, no

especially not the enemies with that much hp

[unreal portal]

Make sense, waste of that overpen rounds

[lone mortar]

[craggy pier]

please dont call giants daddies, we have enough made up nonsense in this server recently dont need more

[unreal portal]

Same goes hel shotguns right? R they even gud, i heard people said its a niche weapon
