does it even matter

[narrow niche]

Replacing all your toilet paper with one ply

[hidden ridge]

I find both directions acceptable

[upper ginkgo]

yeah i just live with whatever way it's on

[hidden ridge]

One is aligned close to the wall which makes it nice to see

[soft crater]

It irritates some people immensely

[hidden ridge]

the other makes it easier to grab

[civic wave]

it can matter more depending on your toilet roll holder

i prefer it being closer and easier to grab

[soft crater]

Depending on the holder. You can tactical reload the paper

i just killed a scout with my mastaba rev in a room with sleepers as the door was opening and it didn't wake them

is that a glitch

[digital mural]

nope

[topaz anvil]

it's an oversight

an unintended result

[digital mural]

a what now?

[cyan crater]

there was literally a sleeper 2 meters away from me

i shot the scout 5 meters away

there were around 3 other sleepers 8 meters away

and they didn't wake

[digital mural]

when you shoot with the door opening is like the door is closed
the sound of the bullet doesnt travel to put it that way

[topaz anvil]

Once the door is fully open, then sounds from adjacent rooms will work

[cyan crater]

ohhhhhh

[digital mural]

i wouldnt call it a glitch

at all

[cyan crater]

idk

oh well

that's useful information

[digital mural]

but you can replicate it in some places too

:D

can come useful once in a while

[tiny wyvern]

Those are called silent shots, right?

[digital mural]

silents shots are a different thing

you shoot and change to another gun so fast the game doesnt process that you shot

so the sound doesnt exist

[wet bear]

And silent shots work only as client

[sturdy glen]

that is only kind of how it works

[tiny wyvern]

Does deleting old logs delete completion data as well?

[past mesa]

no

[analog plank]

is there currently a way to get Oblique Tigris?

[topaz anvil]

No

Unless you use mods

[hard nexus]

iirc u can get the same model but with a different or no pattern

anyway very mid mask

[analog plank]

what mods?

[hard nexus]

prob the ones that unlock all cosmetics

[soft crater]

When limited time event locked cosmetics are limited time event locked

The mod though allows you to use all cosmetics. It does not add them to your current unlocked cosmetics

(Meaning once you disable the mod. You return to your actual unlocked cosmetics)

[upper ginkgo]

classic gtfo fomo

it sure worked

[narrow niche]

tfw i lock previous rundowns

[hidden ridge]

nah

I'm sure they were "forced" by Tencent/level infinite

to add stuff that's seasonal

after all the first one was for CNY

[narrow niche]

possible

[hidden ridge]

you need to understand that corporations go deep in that stuff

weeklies, engagement, call to action

I always get angry when youtubers say "let me know what you think in the comments below" because it's 100% a call to action for user commitment

[narrow niche]

i mean

thats literally how they promote interaction right

esp considering thats a big factor youtube takes

idk what else they would do

[hidden ridge]

it's so artificial

[narrow niche]

as if the rest of it also isnt?

[hidden ridge]

yeah

[narrow niche]

i love corporate bullshit personally

its hilarious

[hidden ridge]

I dont

it feels like someone trying to manipulate me

[narrow niche]

[soft crater]

Usually they sometimes make those items available at future dates but under different way to acquire it.

Gtfos are straight up fomo

[soft crater]

This was the case for SuperBlack shader in Destiny2

Complete event for it

Still available to get after event but not known how to acquire

[cyan crater]

can you pause the game when you're playing solo

or no

[civic wave]

Nope, can't ever pause the game

Maybe you can freeze it with a funny exploit though

[cyan crater]

so you just have to AFK in a safe spot

[digital mural]

make sure to not AFK too much time
or else the game will shit itself and start doing funny stuff

[cyan crater]

wait really?

[digital mural]

if the game runs long enough (like 3 hours) is starts doing really weird stuff

[cyan crater]

oh 3 hours

i was just gonna eat breakfast

but what happens after 3 hours?

does it deload or something

[digital mural]

some glitches here and there

[cyan crater]

what is the % of getting cfoam nade in a storage box/locker

there is currenty 5 cfoam nades in my possession before i attempt the class IV alarm solo on r1a1

how tf do i use them

other than foaming the door twice in a row

[tiny wyvern]

Use them to freeze giants

And chickens

You're solo right?

[cyan crater]

yes

i've actually been able to manage clearing all circles

[tiny wyvern]

You can use those to stealth clear giants without the danger of a whole room waking up

[cyan crater]

i just keep dying to the last remaining wave

[ocean spindle]

thats just weaponry and how good u can kite or go around enemies

if u dont have mines

which just purely depends on weaponry and skill

well if u cn permafoam and if not, yeah ground

[jovial spade]

Is there a way to check total distance traveled downward for the achievement "the inner"

[digital mural]

nope

[jovial spade]

do fails count towards the distance or only successes?

[tired aurora]

only success

if you die it doesnt count

[digital mural]

you can do 100 times R8A2 for the achivement easily

[upper ginkgo]

wow so fun

[tired aurora]

as for a way to check ive heard that if you have a friend that has that achievement he can go on your steam profile and check the progress for you but when i tried it my friend couldnt see anything so unless we dumb and blind, its probably fake

[upper ginkgo]

it displays it if you click on "view my achievements" no?

[tired aurora]

nah its a secret achievement

it doesnt even show it unles you complete it

[digital mural]

oh yeah you can

go to achivements
compare to
choose friend

and there you can see his progress

[tired aurora]

well then we dumb as bricks i guess

[jovial spade]

not for hidden achievements im trying right now

[digital mural]

it works for hidden achivements

im seeing it right now

but your friend needs to have the achivement unlocked

[jovial spade]

that's why I don't have any friends that have the achievement

[digital mural]

if you friend has it he can check for you

[digital mural]

😔

damn

i can add you to steam and check

[jovial spade]

Ikr

891583894 steam friend code

[digital mural]

thats one hell of a pfp dude

[jovial spade]

XD

shhhh

[digital mural]

you have 50km

:D

[tired aurora]

half way there

[jovial spade]

thank you

almost there

does all of r6 through 8 have 50 km deep?

[tired aurora]

probably not

[digital mural]

nah
but you are most likely going to retry some levels

youll get it eventually

[jovial spade]

oh yeah for one of the other achievements you have to do r8b4 twice

[digital mural]

you can do it once and get both achivements actually

[jovial spade]

wait really?

how?

[digital mural]

if they didnt patched it yeah you can

[digital mural]

you choose secondary
do secondary
wipe and then do main only

[jovial spade]

oh so use a checkpoint door and cheese it?

[digital mural]

yup

[jovial spade]

damn okay good to know

[tardy ingot]

Youd probably wanna do main and then secondary since you want the completion

Has the risk of bugging out secondary tho

So rly just do them seperatly

[sturdy owl]

How do I make a good load out, what guns should I use?
Right now I use the percesion rifle and carbine, I do good with the percesion rifle but not great at close distance with the carbine.

bullpup pr

[drowsy ledge]

Hey, people! I have a question about the achievement “Trigger Discipline”: I’ve just played solo, with bots, on R1A1, without firing a single bullet (I even used the biotracker to not even fire any turret, mine nor anything). I’ve read that a bug was solved where bots firing no longer invalidate the achievement, and even read that, even using tools, the achievement should count if no main or secondary gun is fired. I did it well with the hammer, but I got no achievement :(.

Did I do something wrong? Thanks in advance!

[narrow niche]

if the bots shoot you dont get the achievement

tools are fine

[drowsy ledge]

Ah, ok: si the buf fixing was the opposite, I guess? Bots were not invalidating the achievement and now do?

[narrow niche]

yes

[drowsy ledge]

Oooh got it! 😅

I assumed it was an individual achievement… seems not 😛

Thanks a lot!

[soft crater]

Several achievements should just be assumed to require a 4 man

[narrow niche]

i mean

just 2 people is easy enough

[soft crater]

Unless specified.
Outside of nuanced objectives like reading logs and etc.

[ocean spindle]

i'm late but that's a good loadout already
if u need something different for the carbine, hel shotty and sawed off works great for close close quarters, and for longer ranges dmr hel revo etc
on specials i'd suggest jumping around a few, not just pr, cause ur gonna need different weapons for different situations

[tiny wyvern]

Hey @pseudo coyote
#gtfo-media message
Is that supposed to be an achievement, or a regular activity that you regularly partake?
Or is this a joke I don't understand?

[pseudo coyote]

zacks feet just goes hard, u shouldve seen their gameplay - also, regular activity

[grizzled patrol]

Its really Up to your preferences. Do you feel comfortable being in their face and can Dodge attacks? Take shotguns. Wanna stay at longer Ranges? Take precision weapons. Wanna stay at longer Ranges but Not comfortable with hitting Heads If enemies are in your face? Take a precision weapon and Shotty/high rpm weapon. Wanna Just Spam down a chockepoint? Take Double high rpm weapons.

[verbal plover]

is there lore to this game, and if yes where would I go to find it?

[digital mural]

You can find logs thought all the game

They tell a lot of lore

If You want to experience the actual lore of the game go to Rundown 6

[latent obsidian]

read lore on terminals

[verbal plover]

alr

[tiny wyvern]

Or watch a scaler video
But in game wise logs

[digital mural]

In Rundown 6 is when things start to get real

[tiny wyvern]

Btw @green hemlock we have a turkish server, link in #hc-europe message

[tender lion]

Quick question, please excuse me if it's been asked a million times before... Are the rewards from completion of an Expedition a one-time thing? Or, can you gain the reward multiple times? I assume one-time thing, but I haven't completed an Expedition more than once.

[tepid sand]

One drop per expedition

So yes, one time thing. You only get a cosmetic item for each 1st clear of an expedition

[tender lion]

Thank you.

[sturdy owl]

I try a couple and find that the bull pub is really good and dose what I need it to do

[digital mural]

the bullpup is... mid at best compared to a lot of other guns

but i like it too

[sturdy owl]

What are the down sides?

[digital mural]

low damage
not so good range
big reaload time

[topaz anvil]

the reload time

in which you can enjoy a whole ass meal

before it finishes

[brave otter]

you forgot about desert

[digital mural]

by the time i finish to reload the bullpup i already finished EoCH 3

[brave otter]

dessert*

[topaz anvil]

aaaaaaaa

my bad

I'll remember next time

tbf there are underpowered weapons but if you make it work then who cares

[digital mural]

bullpup vs 3 BBCs who wins

🔥

[ocean spindle]

the alternative to bullpup is straight up heavy smg

but it is also for like every auto apart from hel shotty hel autopiss and normal smg

[sturdy owl]

Ok

[ocean spindle]

some autos r fine like machinepistol and pdw [for the thermal mostly]

but theres so many they overlap purposes

the semis r much more differentiated and where every single one works one way or the other

except like, 2

[soft crater]

when bullpup range is effectively the same as AR

aside from ease of use

[ocean spindle]

i mean, its 10

hsmg its 7

[soft crater]

(unless you want to take into account Bullpup has 1.0x precision

[soft crater]

bullpup 10m - 65m
ar 10m - 70m

[ocean spindle]

waw

[narrow niche]

not sure how this

is great

[soft crater]

in terms of dmgfalloff

(outside of semi-autos)

[ocean spindle]

tbh even with its faults i would pick ar over bullpup

just cause of reload

they got same dmg same range so eh

i can pick shots better

[soft crater]

being one of the longest reloads for main weapons

it does perform pretty badly per mag imo

[ocean spindle]

tbh its not a bad weapon for flyers i think thats the only enemy it does well [and maybe shooters cause precision multi]

but now with slug shottie i might just pick that over it always

cuz slug shotties fucking great for that

[soft crater]

I'd take slug over bullpup yeah

[regal lynx]

Probably stupid question, but can I only join matchmaking stuff for areas I have unlocked? Or can I join a R2D1 for example even though I only have done R2A1?

[tiny wyvern]

You can join anyone, only host needs to unlock the level

Are you guys ok down there?

Do you need help?

[regal lynx]

I think we are good if you are asking me, but yee! I just wanted to know so I wasnt limited on who to join

[tiny wyvern]

Ok well gl

Sometimes beginner teams don't know how to join lobbies, so I always ask

[old flume]

Hi good people,
Just recently started playing the game with my gang.
I wanted to know if there is any way to use a tool pack on a deployed turret, that belongs to your friend.
I know that I can use tool pack on a deployed turret, if it belongs to me.

[civic wave]

you can, easiest way to figure that out is to walk up to your friends turret with a tool refill and try it

[tiny wyvern]

It's the same with mine deployer and cfoam, as goat has implied

[tiny wyvern]

When they have it on themselves (i.e., not deployed) you can just refill them by using tool refill on them

When they have it on the ground, you can use it on the sentry itself

Anything else @old flume?

[old flume]

Nope.
Thanks for the help.

[haughty granite]

thinking of getting the game but im not sure

[tiny wyvern]

You mean now? Getting the game now?

[haughty granite]

yea

[tiny wyvern]

We've had a few free weekends in the past, maybe you could try it then and see for yourself if it's your taste?

Or just wait for a sale if the price is too much for your taste

[haughty granite]

i mean the price is quite good

it is on sale

[tiny wyvern]

Then what are you held up on?

[haughty granite]

just was going to ask the comunity if there was any like issues i shold be worried about like playerbase

[tiny wyvern]

What are worried about exactly?

[latent obsidian]

Do you have a group of friends who may also get the game with you?
Do you mind playing with people from the discord community?

[tiny wyvern]

Toxicity against new players?

[haughty granite]

not worried about the toxcity was wondering about like howw many people play the game

[latent obsidian]

The community is pretty good here, though the skill range is quite varied and it may be difficult to find people that are also new at times, though after the free weekend and sale around now is the best time for beginners to join and play together

[tiny wyvern]

To follow up on ellda, as long as you can accept others helping you it should be fine

[haughty granite]

yea im always happy to help and be helped

[latent obsidian]

You can look at the list of voice channels and see how many people are playing, it varies by time of the day and peaks at EU/NA evenings normally

[tiny wyvern]

Oh and um this game is hard

[haughty granite]

thats going to be my favorate part

i like a really hard challedge

[tiny wyvern]

There might be some consistency in the way you do things, but bad rng and some bugs may come

[latent obsidian]

good, if failing and having to start a long mission over was gonna frustrate you I'd say its the wrong game

[tiny wyvern]

Anything else you can think of that they might want to look out for, @latent obsidian ?

[latent obsidian]

Missions can be quite long

Especially if you are inexperienced, but some can reasonably be expected to take up to 2 hours

[haughty granite]

yea i know som people who had done a mission for like 6 hours

[latent obsidian]

and everything will take a little more time if you are being cautious or restarting from checkpoints

[tiny wyvern]

If it all sounds good to you, then it's up to you whether or not you want to buy the game
We follow US/EU times for peaks, but there's people all time round looking for people

If you have anything else to ask, feel free to ask

[haughty granite]

yea thx for the advice il probably pick it up

sounds like my kinda game

[latent obsidian]

We'll see you in the complex 😎

[haughty granite]

its been bought. 25 mins before im in the complex

[civic wave]

nice nice, likely a good idea to do the tutorial first to get a better idea about the game and then go through 1-2 missions with bots

[haughty granite]

alright thx for advice

[reef geyser]

if gtfo gear and mask were to used for military purpose, how overall good will it be ?

[livid stone]

maybe for special forces but mass producing that for an entire army no good

[worthy arrow]

A sniper with two rounds before needing to be reloaded?

No thanks.

[soft crater]

Me questioning knife on wiki why backstab is 9.35.

I guess it makes some sense if you really want to consider the variables from back dmg angles so then you have a base value.

[ocean spindle]

it was not make for military purposes, it was most probably made for kovac soldiers, and probs thus not the highest quality or with stuff like bazookas or whatev cause it was a security company, not warfare

so not the highest quality but good enough to resist several missions

[verbal plover]

how come sometimes on launch, usually the first one of the day, it does a tissue sample on the intro screen but not on subsequent launches?

[grizzled patrol]

I mean, i would expect a gigantic mercenarie group to have Military Equipment. Maybe Not the Most advanced, but still Military Equipment

[grizzled patrol]

Because Warden objectives Stack is funky

[ocean spindle]

kovac a security private company, not the next military force. they specialize on private security which means protecting companies as santonian, and u dont need military equipment to do that

they dont work for goverments or other forces that go to wars

[verbal plover]

not exactly the answer I was hoping for, I had assumed cloning since the last two days I've died before I got off for the night but thanks for the quick answer

[ocean spindle]

whats tissue sample?

[verbal plover]

skin sample

[digital mural]

well, this game doesnt have clones

[ocean spindle]

i dont think i get it, u mean on the sequence that like starts up the game?

[digital mural]

[ocean spindle]

the 'prisoner id, alias bla ready for deployment' thing?

[verbal plover]

yes

[grizzled patrol]

Its Not Just a private Security company tho. Its a Military contractor aswell. Woods or Hackett (dont remember which one) was one of those mercenaries

[ocean spindle]

both woods and hackett were militaries who worked for other people

[digital mural]

yeah they werent mercenaries

[ocean spindle]

they joined their program by different sources, woods just got imprisoned and hackett went to them

they didnt worked for kovac prior to that

[digital mural]

Woods was in the army

Hackett i forgor

[ocean spindle]

hackett was a mercenary but for other people

i think so at least

[grizzled patrol]

Wasnt? Nvm then. But its still true that KDS was working with a Lot of Governements. There were some logs about it

[ocean spindle]

mhh idk, i could be wrong but well maybe then, either way they wouldnt need them for santonian as its a company, and so that would explain why we dont see them

[digital mural]

yeah, i dont doubt they had some military equipment outside of garganta

[ocean spindle]

ok i was wrong

hackett did work for kovac

weird

• You do understand what joining Legion means, don’t you?
• I work for Kovac. Of course I know what it means.

thats my bad

[grizzled patrol]

I thought i was going crazy

[digital mural]

you are

[grizzled patrol]

Crazy?

I was crazy once

[ocean spindle]

they locked me in a room, a complex room

[digital mural]

a room full of snatchers

[grizzled patrol]

Snatchers make me crazy

[green elbow]

how do I solo a giant without waking the room up? I've been practicing on r2b2 with sledge where I charge around 90% and aim for the limbs, but they sometimes still find the space to scream despite every hit being a stagger. sometimes the first stagger causes the giant to randomly 180 and then it's over. I don't know how to approach this

[ocean spindle]

usually when u stagger its one of out two, u hit the body ad it just like limps very shortly, or u break a part of them and it stagger a much longer time
what u do is aim for the limbs, cause those usually break with enough charge ad it prevent a scream while giving you hella lot more time to charge and hit again
when you see it do a 180 in the animation, take into account their position isnt changed until the animation finishes, this means that if u hit mid animation [even if you see its facing you] its still technically a back hit
then you can go around rotating searching for his back

3 hits [one occi two back] should finish him

and maybe if u rlly want u could practice with spear, cause it is the only thing it has going for it- giant combat

[green elbow]

spear is safer in that I'm less likely to take damage, but it seems harder to stop the giant from screaming as it will deal less stagger damage

but maybe I'm charging too much?

[ocean spindle]

really the stagger dmg doesnt matter at all here
if you break a limb u do it out of normal dmg, and if you dont break a limb theres just a chance it screams regardless of how much stagger you are attacking with

[green elbow]

hold on, how do limbs actually work? how hard do I need to hit a limb to break it?

[ocean spindle]

not a full charge but close-ish to one
the whole long stagger animation of the giant should be enough to charge up to break another one

and if u rlly wanna assure it, be on the back

cause the back dmg counts for it

but with both hammer and spear that animation of hitting the occi should be enough to charge up another it

[green elbow]

so it's less than 20 damage for a limb, meaning if I'm on the back, anywhere around 70% charge should be fine?

[ocean spindle]

yeah should be fine
tbh talking about % or whatev in melee charge is hard

its very much just a feel thing

even maybe if u can like shoot one giant, leave one alive and then melee it awake

just to see like how it be

that way u can practice with just that one and thats it

[green elbow]

yeah, I know the math in how much damage you do per charge is weird because the damage increases cubically. Still just wanted a vague idea. I tried hitting a sleeping giant from the front with around 90% and it worked so then I know I don't have to full charge even from the front.

Ty for the help

[civic wave]

I think technically it's ~55% charge to break a limb from the back with sledge, but ideally you want to charge more for safety

[green elbow]

when breaking an arm I only had enough time to charge to around 80 for the next strike before I got hit by the giant melee. That's kinda rough since I'm pretty sure that doesn't break a limb from the front and I didn't manage to stick to its back

[civic wave]

you never want to be stuck in melee range, sometimes you can be on the edge of it to bait a melee and step back

but hugging the giant is not ideal unless you're guaranteed to get back damage

[green elbow]

if you are not in melee range when it is unstaggered it is way more likely to scream right? I haven't quite understood how screaming works

[ocean spindle]

its really just up to him and if he decides to attack or scream

[civic wave]

it's a tossup whether it'll scream or tongue you, but generally if you're in punch range that's what the giant will try to do

[grizzled patrol]

If you can bait him into swinging around you can prevent him from screaming, but on Client it can get very Dangerous depending on the ping

One more Thing about meleeing from the Back, is that If it Starts Spinning you will have very tough time getting Back damage even If you smack on its back

So you have to wait for the Animation to end

[green elbow]

so if it 180s and I have sledge I should try baiting the melee to have time to chaarge more?

[civic wave]

you could, or keep your distance and hope for lick

the position of the back doesn't update until close to the end of the animation so you might still be able to get back damage

[frail heart]

Baiting melee from giants is fun but not the easiest thing

[civic wave]

but tbh i have no fuckin clue when the position update actually happens

[grizzled patrol]

Literally end i think

There was one technicall Video about knifing Giants that went into the details

[tardy ingot]

Goat where guide
Im back and no guide

[civic wave]

slowly chipping away at it

don't be afraid to straight up ping me instead of pinging via random reply

don't let tgb be too unhinged

[azure lintel]

im playing run down 1 a1b1

im at the zone where the hsu is

but i cant find it

how dose it look likle?

[civic wave]

have you pinged it on the terminal to find which room it's in?

[ocean spindle]

take into account the HSU is like ahuman sized tank

its like a pod

[civic wave]

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/gtfo_gamepedia_en/images/2/20/HSUInfobox.png/revision/latest?cb=20200429021214

[azure lintel]

oh

fine it

[ocean spindle]

u should see a lot around that zone, they got the text HSU_123 on them

[azure lintel]

foundt it

[ocean spindle]

:D

[azure lintel]

i thought it was some kine of key

damn im dead

an extraction alarm infront of 3 giants aint good lmao

[robust acorn]

how can i make myself redy in a lobby with friends

[ocean spindle]

oh yeah u should clear the room before like interacting with funky items just incase

[robust acorn]

we just bought it

[ocean spindle]

hello, well u first click onto the rundown you wanna do [which is usually r1]
u click the level you wanna do [a1 its the first one so probs that one]
and hold click on Host lobby
then you can invite your friends through steam as normal, just sending them an invi

[tardy ingot]

By holding the ready up button

[ocean spindle]

or if u dont have em on steam, on the very right side of the lobby theres a button to copy the lobby code, send that to ur friends
then ur friend copies the code, goes into GTFO, and without having to paste anything, there will be a button under the tutorial to join

oh

i didnt misunderstood the question didnt i

[robust acorn]

well i was the host and the abort thing was ovber it

[ocean spindle]

teeheeeee

[ocean spindle]

that means u probs click matchmaking if i had to guess

which is not where you wanna be

[robust acorn]

we did it :3

thx

[ocean spindle]

the pfp with the cat effects is so good

[robust acorn]

thank you

[tardy ingot]

Was about to send it since it couldve helped. But it might help you in the future anyway

Good luck in your endeavours!

[hidden ridge]

the land of most things

made before 1900s

I remember reading an article about how, in human history, and considering areas rather than nations, US, UK, Germany, France and Italy have made the absolute most technological advancements ever

[ocean spindle]

the land of people scared of 30+ degrees

that sounds better

[hidden ridge]

?

You realize sicilian summer gets hot, right?

[ocean spindle]

ah that was britain nevermind

[hidden ridge]

Spain has it even worse if we consider their enclave close to Morocco I guess

Albeit that's stretching it since it ain't Europe geographically

[ocean spindle]

i dont have more funnyn't

[civic wave]

weather is normally hot in some places

[ocean spindle]

i dont have anything else to add

all my jokes ran out

[civic wave]

it's when it's unusually hot for a given area that stuff gets bad

[ocean spindle]

the land thats it

[hard nexus]

Driving and getting out of car at 44c

[ocean spindle]

thats the punchline anyways gtfo

[hard nexus]

Fuck me

[hidden ridge]

see it the right way, you can defrost stuff inside a closed car

[hard nexus]

For the first time ever an Android phone was like nah bruh too hot get fucked

No maps for you

[hidden ridge]

put in a plastic bag and pierce it like twice

[hard nexus]

I couldn't vape because it would overheat

Naturally

[hidden ridge]

That's the only thing about hot that kinda scares me ngl

A phone simply exploding

[tiny wyvern]

Mine almost did

You should've seen its battery

It was like bulging out of the phone

[autumn sparrow]

does anyone have any tips for completing R1C1?(im playing with bots if that’s important)

[ocean spindle]

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

the most popular place to defend for many reasons is the bridge room. 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.

when you start looting after the shooting, you have quite a lot of resources around you, and on longer warm up times for the later codes, you have enough time to run forward and loot in previous areas.

when giants spawn having a good weapon for bigs like hel rifle/burst cannon/etc is useful (especially for hybrids). as well as saving tool by only having 2 sentries down for most waves, saving it for later waves or the waves with Hybrids (4, 6, 8).

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.
Shotgun sentry is ok for tight corners, but goes through tool a bit quickly so it is not well suited for reactors.
Autosentry is a staggering sentry, and as reactor waves queue, you need to kill them quickly.

if you have a bot, they are a boss with the biotracker so give them that, and if you have three bots god go with you.

:D

[autumn sparrow]

i’ve been having to play with bots, because my friends are never on and my wifi isn’t the best

thank you!

it helps a lot to know that i don’t have to be in the same room as the reactor

[ocean spindle]

yeh its much easier to funnel- oh right uh

for weapon for bots tbh u can try n match but the 'meta' ones r machinegun ad burst rifle

ive seen people swear by burst cannon bots, u can try if u want

just dont give em like short ranges or precision weaponry, caue they usually go bodyshots and shoot on line of sight so, longer ranges

[autumn sparrow]

okk

thank you for the help :D

is there any weapons you recommend i use?

[ocean spindle]

umm for main classics include hel revo, carbine, burst rifle for longer ranges
on other levels u could try hel shottie, sawed off etc just in this level they not worth much cause short range

on specials u need big dmg so u could try burst cannon, hel rifles really good for distances, chokemod maybe even but id still go hel rifle...
what else...

precision rifle is fine but u will struggle a lil bit with bigger enemies

[autumn sparrow]

i usually have a heavy ar to deal with the big enemies

[ocean spindle]

i mean har its fine but its not super speedy for giants and- if u gotten to wave 4 u know of one enemy
that enemy takes the whole mag without missing a single time to kill so

[wooden karma]

you can lfg here and have someone else host

[ocean spindle]

i would recommend a lot of guns but since ur with bots i would strip my choices and probs go hel rifle

cuz is everything u need for dmg, range and flexibility

[autumn sparrow]

okk

[ocean spindle]

just try n get collaterals

its not hard specially with bigger enemies

[soft crater]

Nah. I'd definitely hit 5 baby strikers with hel rifle.

[ocean spindle]

i believe it

[cyan crater]

what's the slug shotty good for

[ocean spindle]

not much, its just moderately big dmg [not the biggest dmg cause sawed off has more] in a single short ranged shot
it fires kinda slow but reload fast, with an ok mag, so eh

its fine for smalls, as long as its not on hordes or too many at the same time

[upper ginkgo]

you play slug for the fun factor

[ocean spindle]

true

[cyan crater]

does it 2 shot bigs

it does not

[ocean spindle]

no

its 3 shots to the back, or all 6 to the front i think

[cyan crater]

i just tested

i think it's 3 for front

including a head pop

head pop 2 body shots

could be wrong though because a bot chipped it

i'll test it out without bot

[ocean spindle]

no not at all
slug shotties 21 dmg

and the prec dmg is 0.7, lowest of the barrel

[cyan crater]

you are correct

3 back, 6 front

how many shots for sawed off to kill big

assuming you hit the optimal spots

[hard nexus]

Eva

[ocean spindle]

4 front, 2 back

headshots dont matter for these weapons cause they both low 0.7 prec multis

[tardy ingot]

Killing flyers

[cyan crater]

is there a terminal command that checks for cfoam nades

[civic wave]

Nope, there's no way to check for consumables other than knowing spawns

That being said, you can list boxes/lockers to check if you've missed anyway, because those might have a nade in them

[cyan crater]

does list u not work

[tiny wyvern]

They don't exist in terminal language

[civic wave]

but this doesn't let you check on shelves or outside-of-box consumable spawns

[tiny wyvern]

Think of them as not being tagged in the system, so you never can see them on a terminal

[cyan crater]

so basically only keys, storage, and packs can be listed/pinged

and other certain objective items

[grizzled patrol]

Only with mods

[livid stone]

Sometimes they spawn on the ground

[digital mural]

<@&408548765599793173>

[tiny wyvern]

Them bots be flooding this place

[azure lintel]

is there a map of r1a1 admin???

the one on the wiki is too blurry to see

found one on steam

[winged turtle]

you you look up "rundown [number] map steam" you will finda all of them, just not all in the same post

[hard nexus]

Check the map

[winged turtle]

We need a terminal!

[ocean spindle]

click on "See full image" on the wikis image

it is a very HD map if i remember, just the wiki compressor doesnt let you see the whole quality of it if u don't click that

[azure lintel]

thx

[silent delta]

so called "free thinkers" when Terminal here!

[azure lintel]

maps are so op

just cleared r1a1 solo with bots

[ocean spindle]

nice :]

[azure lintel]

this game so fun

im looking foward playing with other people when i get time

[stoic flare]

Can't read "free thinkers" without collective consciousness popping into my head

[digital mural]

NICEEEEEEE

Keep it up!

[azure lintel]

thx

will do

ive been craving this game sice r2? r3?

but i just bought it yesterday

[silent delta]

absolutely massive

huge moves

good shit brother

[azure lintel]

thx bro

[stoic flare]

W!!!

[cyan crater]

what's "rev speed"

[cyan crater]

now try it without bots solo (it is fun, but time-consuming)

[silent delta]

revive speed

[cyan crater]

ohhhhhh

oki

supply efficiency i'm assuming is how fast the bar goes when you're using packs

[silent delta]

you get more per usage of tool/ammo

[cyan crater]

ohhh

[silent delta]

busted stat

[soft crater]

You can put your cursor over the effects and it'll show a little pop up description on what they do

Some are still difficult to understand even with the description iirc

One I believe is Cfoam portion. (It only benefits when you charge it. Single blobs receive little to none of the benefits)

[silent delta]

one thing i never managed to figure out was whether cfoam portion affected nades and trip mines

[cyan crater]

does regen speed boost only work for ~20%

[wet bear]

If you increase regen cap with boosters it works for it too

[cyan crater]

THERE'S REGEN CAP BOOST?

is it muted

[silent delta]

oh yeah

[wet bear]

But without regen cap it's only 20%

[silent delta]

there are some stupid boosters you can get

[silent delta]

also does anyone know the answer to this

[wet bear]

Regen cap is in every artifact category

[cyan crater]

oooooo

wait

if u get like

[wet bear]

Never tested it

[silent delta]

hm

[cyan crater]

supply efficiency/med efficiency does that also work when u use it on teammates

[silent delta]

yes

any packs that you hold and use receive the benefits

[cyan crater]

ooh

[wet bear]

Yes

[cyan crater]

oki

[silent delta]

and i think also any packs that get used on you?

not sure on that one though

[past mesa]

No

[silent delta]

man

[wet bear]

Only disinfect don't benefit

[past mesa]

c foam portion only makes full charge c foam launch use less %

on the full charge

[wet bear]

No, only on those that used by you or others players if they have that booster

[past mesa]

Taping c foam launch is the same result

[silent delta]

game sucks

[civic wave]

ya cfoam portion has nothing to do with cfoam itself, but the consumption of the cfoam launcher

[tardy ingot]

Any charge that shoots more than 1 blob

[grizzled patrol]

Terminal Speed is better ngl

[soft crater]

Iirc it didn't even work properly. (From what I was told at least.)

[hidden ridge]

well

I dont know the intricacies of it, AFAIK and from my old test it reduces how much foam ammo a charge costs

It DID NOT do anything for tapping

but it worked for full

No idea if it changes cost on half-charges or stuff like that

[tardy ingot]

It does

Thats why i said any that uses more than 1 blob

[hidden ridge]

My SPECULATION is that it doesn't work on tap until you reach an insane amount due to how the game perhaps handles fractions

For the record #gtfo-related-questions message

[tardy ingot]

It just maths it out
But since it will always cost 1 minimum tapping has no diff

[hidden ridge]

I'm sure you all know that better than I do since my tests are as basic as they can get

[tardy ingot]

I know since i was there with someone testing (havent done it myself but they went through it for 30+ min with the numbers)

[hidden ridge]

Yeah

tbh it gets incredibly strong

[rapid briar]

that’s a thing?

[ashen frigate]

It used to be

[wet bear]

Movement speed is better

[soft crater]

Glow stick prox/In bio scan/Hold EQ tool conditions better

[ashen frigate]

I legitimately laughed the first time I saw the Hold EQ Tool boosters :) Those were good times, when the meme became an actual thing...

[soft crater]

Hold EQ tool and spin around to the right. While crouch spamming

I swear it makes scans go faster

Trust

[ashen frigate]

"You spun to the left, why did you ??? Now you ruined it !!"
The GTFO community, spreading misinformation since 2019

[civic wave]

of course, as long as you don't focus on scan it goes very quickly

this is why i zone out and let my teammates do all the shooting

speeds things up and i get to save ammo for later

[soft crater]

Still miss when common knowledge today was fresh and new for everyone back then

Aside from those who really learned stuff in alpha/beta

[hidden ridge]

Did you know that there's a bomb hidden inside every HEL Shotgun and it blows off if you dont use it?

[mighty bison]

I just got the game. I dont know where to start, is there a level i should start with or should I just go from r1a1

[past mesa]

R1a1

Play r1 till you get stuck

Then play r2

Until you get stuck then play r3

[mighty bison]

ok

thanks

[past mesa]

Then go back and finish r1 r2-(r2e1) and r3

Then you will be ready for r4 and r5

[mighty bison]

ok thx

Is there something i should know before playing

[digital mural]

try all guns and all tools

see what you like

[past mesa]

Limit test, try to go faster, back damage exists always be charging

[native sun]

And then after 150 hours you'll finally get to play the good levels in R6, R7 and R8
(You can skip to the good levels once you get the basics down)

[past mesa]

Up your fov

[mighty bison]

Thx

[upper ginkgo]

see you again in 2 days when you reach r1c1

[digital mural]

i bet 10$ he gets stuck on r1c1 or r2d1

[mighty bison]

does the difficulty increase for every rundown

[digital mural]

the rundown difficulty is weird

for example R2 is harder than R3

[mighty bison]

like r1a1 is harder then r2a1

Oh

[upper ginkgo]

levels scale in difficulty within the rundown

[ocean spindle]

yeah like inside a rundown it is A easy B medium C hard D harder and so on
but between rundowns, it's just really unconventional

so thus why just skip if you get stuck at like an R2 D tier

and just jump to r3 by that point and so on

[mighty bison]

I just ran a r1a1 with bots

It was horrible we wiped at the end

Can you get bots to like synchronize with you and kill like a crowd of people

[ocean spindle]

no, if u wake some enemy they try to rush in and melee it, and if u wake the room they go into guns

so u cn like hit one enemy, and rush the other with the bots

[mighty bison]

Oh

[ocean spindle]

like hitting it with the most charge u can

[mighty bison]

I did not know how to get the bots to do stuff

[ocean spindle]

Q, there they can use tools

and follow someone if ur oplaying with more people

[mighty bison]

I only figured out the turrets

[ocean spindle]

oh thats about it
they also carry objective items but i havent encounter any yet and its better to do it urself most times

[digital mural]

Using tools is pretty much all they can do :b

[ocean spindle]

they rest automatic

[mighty bison]

I dont know what follow really do cause they follow me even before I press follow with the q

[ocean spindle]

they do follow u

just if u play with one more person

they can follow one of the two

[mighty bison]

Oh

Ic

How do tou get them to like pick up certain items

I mean can you

[digital mural]

Use Q

[mighty bison]

Like glow sticks or smth

[ocean spindle]

no

[digital mural]

Oh they cant

[ocean spindle]

obkective items are a different thing

u havent seen yet

u will tsee them in rundown 2

[mighty bison]

Ok

[digital mural]

You can make them pickup obj items with Q

[civic wave]

you can't control their AI or command them to do anything other than getting them to follow you or use tools

[ocean spindle]

they automatically grab resources when u get away from abox, and same for some consumables

they a bit funky with consumables

but they work fine

enough

[mighty bison]

Ive seen them shoot

And it didnt alert room?

[digital mural]

Yeah they have guns :D

[ocean spindle]

pw

[ocean spindle]

yes they dont alert rooms

by any means

not shooting walking or touching enemies

[mighty bison]

Oh so if I dont alert the room they can do whatever they want

[tired aurora]

bots can walk into a scout and it will do nothing

[ocean spindle]

technically yes, but they only shoot once the room wakes up
or if the enemies r too far away between each other

[mighty bison]

Ic

[soft crater]

Even if the bot manages to shoot. It still won't wake up the room

Even if it hits a sleeping enemy

[tired aurora]

bots have that silencer DLC

[digital mural]

Silent shot fr

[green elbow]

what causes the c-foam bug where it just glitches through doors? it has happened on 3 missions out of 4 today

[mighty bison]

Just imagine if my gun does that

😦

[soft crater]

It's super rare. You even get in that case a bot does that tbf

[ocean spindle]

its a bug regarding some unity and stuff, bit complicated but restart ur game every once in a while

and it should fix itself

[mighty bison]

I saw a vid and that confused me

[tired aurora]

check #1049599987878723635 post about shooter bug

[civic wave]

for an in depth explanation - https://discord.com/channels/408196129470152705/1255620392660238458
the simple explanation is the hitboxes go fucky if something like a glowstick or magazine from reloading a gun falls out of the map for too long
(or memory leak)

[tired aurora]

if it happens, then just reset your game and you should be good

[mighty bison]

Oh also one more question is there like an objectively better melee weapon

[narrow niche]

hammer

[mighty bison]

Why?

[tardy ingot]

Bonk(jk)

better stats

its a whole lot of stuff

[tired aurora]

best stars overall

[ocean spindle]

hammer knife r kinda like best i guess
hammer is just around very balanced, good dmg good charge up time and mastering u can be really quick with it, etc etc

[tardy ingot]

hammer is an all rounder that the game is balanced around

[tired aurora]

all other melees are gimmicky

[tardy ingot]

without spoiling anything

[ocean spindle]

rlly all melees are fine excepting spear

[tardy ingot]

thats the best i can do

[mighty bison]

Why spear

[tardy ingot]

also yea
Spear is not good

[mighty bison]

What did it do

[tardy ingot]

Bad dmg breakpoints, slow sprint

And more

[civic wave]

spear has worse damage breakpoints and you lose mobility

[mighty bison]

Oh

Man I liked spears

[civic wave]

nothing's stopping you from beating the entire game with spear as your melee

[mighty bison]

true

[green elbow]

ah I see, when it happens it will keep happening

[civic wave]

use it if you want, but the knowledge is there that hammer is better when played well

[ocean spindle]

spears fine for learning but once u get used to killing tentacle guyss and stuff, i would try out new melees

[mighty bison]

ok thx

[soft crater]

Meanwhile I'm growing to use Bat more

[ocean spindle]

bat is nice :]

[grizzled patrol]

Knife

[wet bear]

Fog hammer

[worthy arrow]

What set of tools would be good for r2d2

[wet bear]

Sentries and bio

[worthy arrow]

Which combination

of sentries*

[native sun]

2 burst 1 sniper is good. 1 burst 2 sniper is good. Hard to get value from auto/shotgun on that level, best to avoid.

[worthy arrow]

Ok thanks

[finite oracle]

to the people who have pretty much completed the game how would you guys rank all the E tier missions from difficulty?

[tardy ingot]

R8E2>R4E1>R5E1>>R7E1>R2E1

And well r8e1 which isnt an e tier

[topaz anvil]

R8e1 goes behind r2e1

[finite oracle]

this is from hardest to easiest?

or the other way around

[tardy ingot]

Hardest to easiest

[finite oracle]

ok

[topaz anvil]

Doesn't make r2e1 easy by any means tho

It's still gonna be challengr

[livid stone]

it should be easy but one fuckup and ur prob dead

at least in the error alarm

at the end

like not closing a door...

[civic wave]

It's never one mistake that kills you

[topaz anvil]

I too enjoy the mistake snowball

[civic wave]

If you're talking about that run with nuggies there were a lot more mistakes than that

[livid stone]

yea but those other mistakes didnt really do much its just the one at the end

we were gonna funnel them but someone left the door nearest to the security door open

[civic wave]

Unless we're thinking of different runs, the one I'm talking about died before that alarm pull

[livid stone]

nah im talking bout a run after the alarm was pulled

[topaz anvil]

You lost a run with THE nuggs?

[livid stone]

bro what is that wrod

[civic wave]

I mean I've lost an r2e1 with him before

[livid stone]

who is nuggs

[civic wave]

we were playing well together, I went to plug last cell and got assassinated by 5 strikers from error or something

[topaz anvil]

Chickennuggies

[civic wave]

RawrChickenNuggies

[topaz anvil]

[civic wave]

didn't realise until recently how great his decision making and gamesense is

[topaz anvil]

What tipped you off

[civic wave]

I got better at assessing the game compared to the last time I saw him play

[topaz anvil]

Real

[civic wave]

It's true though

When you don't have the ability to properly assess other people's gameplay you miss out on just how good they are

which can also lead you to think you're as good as them

[topaz anvil]

I'm good too i swear! I just deliberately play devil's advocate to make sure we are doing the right thing!

Definitely not a thrower

[livid stone]

i am

[latent obsidian]

Lots of things were unideal in that run but the door being left open was pretty much the one mistake that killed it, true

We were in a comfy position

[ocean spindle]

so anyone noticed how from the front big flyers look so like long and big

and then u see em from the side

and they look so squished

[past mesa]

Then you look at the from the back and

Your like OM LOTD GYATT

Of the century

[ocean spindle]

why do i speak

[past mesa]

To set me up for jokes

Thanks

[soft crater]

The forbidden spagyatti

[turbid horizon]

have you seen them from inside

[past mesa]

????

[turbid horizon]

they look so fucking funny

[past mesa]

YOOOOOO admin

Arrest this man

[turbid horizon]

[past mesa]

First he is inside a flyer now he is telling them they look funny

[turbid horizon]

Yep

Shocker

[past mesa]

Rude

shocker?

[turbid horizon]

It’s a shocker

[past mesa]

I think you mean big flyer

[turbid horizon]

that i’d do this

idk I’ve called them shockers forever

[past mesa]

Or in my naming scheme poorly designed enemy number 5

[turbid horizon]

ok like, they’re cool

[past mesa]

To bad they can’t be used anywhere

[turbid horizon]

They just need to not get fucking stuck everywhere

[past mesa]

Because they get stuck

[turbid horizon]

Yeah lol

fuckers

[past mesa]

great enemies

poorly implemented

like mom s

[turbid horizon]

at least they work great as scouts

[past mesa]

Truuu

Tbh I think flyiers where intended to be scouts at some point in the game’s development

[turbid horizon]

they definitely were

[past mesa]

Because in gtfr they already had the ability set up

[turbid horizon]

They are the only enemy besides shooter variants that work properly as scouts in vanilla

oh wait

[past mesa]

I didn’t even need to do anything to get flyer scouts literally randomized the enemy role and then that was it

[livid stone]

flyers that go around and if they see you they alert the sleepers

[turbid horizon]

They are a shooter variant

lmao

I rorgot

[past mesa]

Yeah but they have the scout ability

Maybe they just copied the shooter

To make it

[turbid horizon]

Probably

[past mesa]

could have been that

[turbid horizon]

Considering they set up like, an entire 3/4 of a datablock for flyer movement

I think it was tacked on

Jish have you ever cranked shocker movespeed mod to 5x and watched it pinball around the complex

It’s really funny

[past mesa]

I haven’t yet

[turbid horizon]

They have like 0.25x normally

[past mesa]

But I made a scan that fired projectiles

[turbid horizon]

Cranking to 5x is so funny

[turbid horizon]

What

[past mesa]

So that is funny

[turbid horizon]

I need it

Scan with a GUN

[past mesa]

Also a birther scan

I think I can make a tank scan

Or scan with tongue

[past mesa]

Did you see trus new mod

Tbh it is so good

[turbid horizon]

no

What is it

[turbid horizon]

mlem

[past mesa]

Terminal command info

[turbid horizon]

oh yeah

[past mesa]

Just says if a terminal has extra commands

[turbid horizon]

I saw

[past mesa]

Such a good idea

[turbid horizon]

it’s cool

[past mesa]

oh this terminal had a command to get rid of the error

We just didn’t know

[turbid horizon]

Is it toggelable?

[past mesa]

Now we do

[turbid horizon]

Like per zone or termi?

Or level

[past mesa]

Hmmm

I don’t think so yet

[turbid horizon]

because I know cheese made a level with like 50 termis in a dead end zone with a tank, where the goal was to sort through termis to find the right one

Twas pretty silly, but this mod would change it

[past mesa]

it would change it but not by much

Unless there were passcode keys

but tbh it can be made really easy to only apply to certain level ls

Just with the !active level Boolean

[sharp forge]

Any advice on how to pass R1C1?

[frail heart]

Win

Another +1 to the R1C1 wall

Thx? I guess.

[sharp forge]

I appreciate the offer, but I just wanted to know if you had any advice, since I've been trying for 2 hours with my friends. We are not very good but we do what we can.

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

the most popular place to defend for many reasons is the bridge room. 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.

when you start looting after the shooting, you have quite a lot of resources around you, and on longer warm up times for the later codes, you have enough time to run forward and loot in previous areas.

when giants spawn having a good weapon for bigs like hel rifle/burst cannon/etc is useful (especially for hybrids). as well as saving tool by only having 2 sentries down for most waves, saving it for later waves or the waves with Hybrids (4, 6, 8).

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.
Shotgun sentry is ok for tight corners, but goes through tool a bit quickly so it is not well suited for reactors.
Autosentry is a staggering sentry, and as reactor waves queue, you need to kill them quickly.

if you have a bot, they are a boss with the biotracker so give them that, and if you have three bots god go with you.

you runnin rn? I can join if yall have a space

Otherwise the general strat is to hold at the bridge, 3 sentries (burst or sniper), have someone run back for the codes when there's 10 seconds left (you can use up arrow to get the previous command and save some typing).

First 2-3 waves you stay on bridge. After that you should have enough time to start making runs back to the beginning for more resources. So 1 person goes back for code, and the other 3 clear off the remainder of the wave before going for resources.

Or you can also just bring a supply efficiency booster and skip most of that.

That's all the waves, then you just run back for extraction.

Well, I had more or less seen a strategy like that, I will try to organize with my colleagues to see if this one or another one is the winner. Thx.

[sharp forge]

I appreciate the advice, although we don't have room for someone else, so there wouldn't be any more room anyway, English is not our strong suit for voice chat.

Really, thank you both. We will do our best.

[ocean spindle]

if you need any more help with other stuff about the level, you can always ask about it

[sharp forge]

I will keep this in mind, thx.

[tardy ingot]

this is pretty much the universal "easiest" strat

gl tho! if you got a similar strat in mind then thats lookin good

[stoic breach]

any advice for r1d1?

[ocean spindle]

ummm lot of stealh knowlegde
if u havent learnt to melee scouts, do so, and if u havent learnt to clear big rooms without wakin stuff up, thi is the time too

otherwise, 3 sentries- preferably burst. use two in the first alarm and then go all three for the V
and if u need resourcer after that u can go to the side rooms

theee one to the west i believe its the gone that has more, east has resources but not as much

[stoic breach]

ok got it thanks!

[whole grove]

pdw and precision rifle; learn to stealth and melee scout; 1 bio, 3 burst

[stoic breach]

ok will do

btw is there a rundown that I can practice killing scouts?

[ocean spindle]

u dont need both thermals rlly

with one is good

[digital mural]

scout playground

modded rundown

[ocean spindle]

in case of no mods r1b2 has one scout early on, and r1a1 has 2 after the first alarm

problem is both could be with enemies

and also take into account melee/spear headshot it, but bat and knife need to hit the back of the head specifically

[stoic breach]

got it

thank you!!

[ocean spindle]

its okii
if u have other questions feel free to ask :3

[whole grove]

The beginner probably hasn't used thermals before and this beginner expedition is a great introduction

[ocean spindle]

eh i guess its true but
still just in case they have played with one or just dont like one of the guns

[tardy ingot]

thermals are "easier" but worse to tell them about if you want them to get better

[whole grove]

You can choose any primary and secondary, any works. Us folks who played a while definitely know which are better for when

[tardy ingot]

if you have one by accident its different

[whole grove]

I think R1D1 has a good volume of enemies for beginners to consider learning how to clear without waking rooms

Just because you can shoot the scout doesn't mean you should

The people who got me into this game never got through R1D1, R1C1 was already pretty tough, let alone R1C2

[ocean spindle]

funnily enough i see a lot of people pass c2 much easier

just cause c1 is an info roadblock, but c2 is the knowledge u know but harder

so most people i see finish it first or second try

[whole grove]

I think most people who fail R1C1 is because they take the 'one of each' tool then realize they could do 3 or even 4 sentries

C2 was great with new foes but they don't appear again for a while...

[ocean spindle]

4 sentries is not great but wel

no i think c1 is failing due to new objective, cause i see most people taking sentries too even for a1 b1 and b2

but they choose auto sentries or whatev else and hold reactor and stuffff

[whole grove]

Yeah, c1 is parallel to a typical zombie hoard defense strat

[soft crater]

The ones that scare me is when they fail R1c1 even with proper tools

[whole grove]

When thinking way back then we unanimously knew 3 sentries and 1 bio was the play; in the absence of watching others or asking others for help in the level

Unfortunately even with 3 sentries, groups still think to hold right at the reactor terminal room...

[soft crater]

[whole grove]

I'm pretty sure I remember that's what happen to my friends

[soft crater]

[whole grove]

And of course it was only me who figured out that we needed to get resources or carry the 4+ packs closer to bridge
