#

dont tell mm i said this

minor fractal
#

That too

hardy grotto
#

i kinda wish it was more like og

tardy ingot
#

pubbing r2d1 is the leading reason for rundown 2 soundbug

#

because a pub afks outside teamscan for the last cell

hardy grotto
#

i only played og once but i remember og being a lot worse

safe cradle
#

R2D1: Statistics is a nice level

ocean spindle
#

ikr i see people waking up rooms and im thinking 'i should be the one down there but they are 85 wtf do i do'

upper ginkgo
#

r2 is so fucking brutal for a new player lol

ocean spindle
#

and then just end up at 85 anyways cause i gotta res them

upper ginkgo
#

r2c2, r2d1, r2d2, r2e1 is just the biggest wall

hardy grotto
#

but i couldve also done it in the wrong order honestly

tardy ingot
#

honestly i feel like R2C1 is such a random mess for beginners

safe cradle
#

It's relaxing, exhilarating, compelling, and the crashing spitteraduio glitch makes it a new experience every time

silent delta
#

r2d1: statistics fucked my wife and shot my dog

halcyon current
#

Going from backhalf of R2 when I was new to R3 felt like a fucking joke

tardy ingot
#

R2D2 just needed R3A3 to be... before it as a tutorial

#

not after

ocean spindle
safe cradle
halcyon current
#

Agreed, so far anyway

safe cradle
#

though by that logic R2 gets carried by E1

tardy ingot
silent delta
#

r2e1 is stinky

tardy ingot
#

but its such a mess

#

design wise

halcyon current
#

Honestly I can't remember a single thing about R3 I think I got through the entire mf in a day

upper ginkgo
silent delta
#

if you take out the last like 15 minutes its a d tier

upper ginkgo
#

like they used r7d1 to introduce a new objective mechanic (terminal stuff)

minor fractal
#

I think R2 below C-tier is fairly difficult in general.

tardy ingot
#

litteraly the same thing

#

i dont mind R7D1 too much

mossy dome
#

R2D1 and R2E1 I see a lot of people posting the same run constantly stuck on it

tardy ingot
#

you cant always throw new stuff into A-B tiers

#

especially that late into the games design

minor fractal
#

R2 is why people should skip around more

safe cradle
mossy dome
#

R2 isn't even that fun imo

minor fractal
#

A lot of R2E1 pubs are just, clearly, way out of their depth

#

People that actually stumbled out of R1 into R2E1

safe cradle
#

R2D1 is very much streamlineable to be hard to fail even if the team has 4 very very bad shooters

upper ginkgo
safe cradle
#

R2D2 kinda wants people to be able to land some shots decently because reactor

mossy dome
#

Looking back I think doing R1 then R6 would have been so much more enjoyable

safe cradle
#

(keyword being decently)

tardy ingot
#

og R6

minor fractal
tardy ingot
#

is goated

#

in a way

#

its such a great story and beginner rundown

mossy dome
#

R6 is definitely my favorite full rundown

upper ginkgo
#

crazy how everyone shat on og r6 when it first came out

#

we didn't know how good we had it

mossy dome
#

Is not that hard but it's fun and does a great job introducing stuff

tardy ingot
#

i never did d4rkevDerp

minor fractal
#

I mean, even in Alt R6 is one of my less played.

tardy ingot
#

@upper ginkgo people legit saying "R6 is the easiest rundown ever!!!!!!!!"

#

bruh

safe cradle
#

First rundown I fully managed to finish

tardy ingot
#

plus r5 being so disliked now

#

is so funny to me

safe cradle
#

It DID felt aeons easier than R4 and R5

tardy ingot
upper ginkgo
#

i think alt r5's room density is the issue

tardy ingot
#

but those were the 2 hardest rundowns til RUNDOWN 8

safe cradle
hardy grotto
#

r5 is just so fucking long

mossy dome
#

R6 the one tower level is kinda tricky if you don't know how to do it. Think it's R6CX

hardy grotto
#

and they made some weird changes to it

upper ginkgo
#

i miss my 20 sleepers in a single room

tardy ingot
#

wdym dont you like A3, B3, C2, D1?

hardy grotto
#

like why is b3 extreme scan

#

so fucking long

tardy ingot
#

^^

minor fractal
#

R5 felt better when it was long and hard.

tardy ingot
#

i was just about to say

#

3 tanks wooooo

#

"fun"

minor fractal
#

But it doesn't feel as hard as it does tedious rn.

upper ginkgo
#

og gtfo movement carries my og r5 nostalgia goggles

hardy grotto
#

honestly

minor fractal
#

And it's also just hard enough that it's painful in pubs or even if you're just not fully respecting things in here or there.

safe cradle
#

is just boring

hardy grotto
#

looking back i dont know how much i liked og r5

tardy ingot
#

i always find it interesting how og r5 had probably the worst boss clear of any rundown after R3 (cuz r1 and r2 didnt need it anyhow)

safe cradle
#

that whole scan feels pointless anyway

hardy grotto
#

my ass did not like the primaries

upper ginkgo
#

pistol

#

pistol meta

hardy grotto
#

it was unique but

safe cradle
#

not like I'm gonna do the tank in the corridor

hardy grotto
#

im not a pistol player

#

i used dmr

#

and i hate the scope to this day

minor fractal
#

I mean, it was a good DMR rundown too.

upper ginkgo
#

hel revo players when hel revo isn't in the rundown

hardy grotto
#

i cant have been a hel revo player

mossy dome
#

@digital mural if you're around would you like to do R7E1 when I get home in like 2 hours?

hardy grotto
#

if i started in og r5

#

my evolution began later

hardy grotto
tardy ingot
hardy grotto
#

i fell int othe same kinda trap a while ago when i was doing cell skip duos

upper ginkgo
#

is og r5 sniper better than current sniper lol

hardy grotto
#

we took hel gun sniper

minor fractal
#

Shotgun / Sniper / HEL Weapons rundown

hardy grotto
#

but its actually just better to take double hel gun

#

LOL

tardy ingot
safe cradle
tardy ingot
#

GOD DAMN
this reminds me

safe cradle
#

I'm pretty sure

upper ginkgo
#

i'd rather take 3 less bullets than wait a bajillion years to fire my next shot

tardy ingot
#

r5 had insane shotugn issues

#

when 2 players shot fps DIEEEED

hardy grotto
#

yes

upper ginkgo
#

lol

#

"STOP SHOOTING COMBAT SHOTTY"

hardy grotto
#

i remember the r5c1 attempts

upper ginkgo
#

"PLEASE"

hardy grotto
#

but besides that i think my fps was overall better

#

by a lot

tardy ingot
upper ginkgo
#

yeah alt r5b1 runs like shit

hardy grotto
#

gtfo just runs like shit now

#

how can my fps half after 1 level

#

what happened

mossy dome
hardy grotto
#

erm, theres no memory leak, there's just a leak in your understanding

upper ginkgo
#

gtfo's shit performance cornered me into buying a new gpu in the middle of the gpu shortage

minor fractal
#

There's a renderer issue as well, I think.

#

Flow posted about it in UMS

safe cradle
#

I have fps drops randomly in nearly all garden/management (R7B1) levels

mossy dome
#

The only issue I've had at all is R5B1 and runs with like 20 resets

minor fractal
#

There's some render function that isn't given a specific camera argument, so it defaults to running for every single camera in the level, which includes every single light in the level.

upper ginkgo
#

it's goofy

fallen kite
#

How is that a thing

minor fractal
#

Coding mistake

fallen kite
#

Sounds like a really big one though, i'm just surprised it got through testing

minor fractal
#

It's not going to be obvious the specific problem

mossy dome
minor fractal
#

performance will just be worse in general for the patch.

#

But that could be for any number of reasons.

fallen kite
upper ginkgo
#

i think the only reason why flow found out was because he was trying to figure out why r7d1's performane was so shit

#

had there not been such a massive outlier, i don't know if anyone would've bothered to dig through

fallen kite
#

doesn't R5E1 also universally run like shit

hardy grotto
#

uhhhh

#

its not the worst but its a big level so yea

#

lot of stuff going on

upper ginkgo
#

trauma words

soft crater
#

I know playing levels after R5E1 can be fucked-

safe cradle
soft crater
#

definitely not us starting max infection in a level that didn't have infection right after R5E1

fallen kite
safe cradle
#

R7D1's first rooms make my fps drop to 30ish sometimes

fallen kite
safe cradle
#

Again, I'm pretty sure it's that fucking damn environment

upper ginkgo
#

i think someone on the modding server said the poly count for garden tiles is significantly larger than the other tilesets

fallen kite
safe cradle
#

I also have fps drops VERY rarely on some other levels (R4E1 sometimes in the very first zone) but not to that amount

#

I drop to 55ish in R7B1

safe cradle
#

and I'm sure that ain't "le beeeg level with le things going on"

upper ginkgo
#

lol

#

does gtfo even have LODs

fallen kite
upper ginkgo
#

i know it unload rooms that aren't in view

#

hence void bug(?)

#

bummer

civic wave
#

in some levels I don't really get more than 80 frames, instead dipping around 40-80

#

it sucks

upper ginkgo
#

they're really locking themselves out from the steam deck market

#

hope den of wolves is more steam deck friendly

fallen kite
#

civic wave
#

god that's just what I'd need tbh, the ability to play r1a1 speedruns on a holiday to the beach

#

and the occasional guy complaining on reddit about how the controller settings are shit

r4c2 enjoyer

#

r5b4 enjoyer

mossy dome
#

warden protocols are fun idk what to say

#

I think the game is at the best when it pushes you to go fast because a lot of the levels are trivial but boring if you just play at a snail pace

arctic marten
#

why is r2d1 not on your list

#

what is your problem

mossy dome
#

infection is gross and in most levels it's done in a way that's more annoying than it is challenging e.g. it slows you down without actually adding to the difficulty of the level all that much

#

imo

arctic marten

mods, kill this guy

Can you read a log and then die to leave the level or do you have to actually beat the level to count as reading the log in a terminal?

remember to use dtr if you are very cool and epic like me

topaz anvil

or dmr if you are even cooler

modest pasture
#

How do boosters conditions work? as an example for "enemy distance 20 meters" does one enemy have to be 20m away for the booster to apply to everyone or only him? Same for the enemy proximity 7m thing

civic wave
#

boosters only apply to the player who equips them

#

so it'd be within 7m of the player using the booster

#

or 20+m from the player using the booster

in r2e1, after the error alarm, is there a way to ensure important doors ahead do not get destroyed? it seems that error wave mobs often spawn in rooms ahead of us, behind closed doors which they then break to get to us and prevent us from using those doors for the surge alarms. any ideas?

civic wave
#

the enemies spawn 2 rooms away, so you can sit 3 rooms away so they don't break an important door, then push forward to save doors after wave zone

ocean spindle
#

it's like a timing thing

#

u wait for the wave, and then rush as fast as u possibly can those two rooms

steep rune
#

do they spawn two rooms away from any specific player? if one or two players stay at the entrance of the alarm door will they never spawn ahead where the main group is fighting?

ocean spindle
#

they spawn off a random player so if u get separated, ur other team could get spawns on top of them

#

it's better to move as a group

steep rune
#

can multiple waves of error alarm enemies spawn? so if 5 error enemies spawn and have not been killed yet (maybe they are running towards players) can 5 more spawn 30 seconds later at a different location?

Are there any resources that go into detail about weapon theory and specifically why certain weapons are better or worse aside from just combing the discord for discussion? I know there’s like a spreadsheet of weapon stats and such, but parsing raw stats doesn’t really help frame some of the general discussion points I see often (hel revo good, bullpup and full-autos bad, etc) and I think it’d be helpful to expand the logic beyond “use hel revo and learn to click on things better”

Hel is op

Scatter is actually op on client cause of the delay making it so bullets can hit tumors that are already dead technically

# solemn stirrup Are there any resources that go into detail about weapon theory and specifically...

Pen is very strong, and scales very well into harder and harder encounters. A lot of pen weapons also don't receive the drawbacks they maybe should. HEL Gun gets the 15 damage breakpoint where-as Revo doesn't. HEL Rifle matches the ammo per refill of other 30 damage weapons. HEL Revo gets access to more ammo than DMR. HEL Shotgun is one of the highest damaging Mains.

Scattergun and BC are very strong and flexible. These are potent boss kill, potent giant kill, and they can be pushed to wave clear when that's what you need to do w/ them.

Sawed-off is a bit power-crept. It's a pocket shotgun that doesn't require your special slot, it doesn't even have bad eco for a Main, and 4 in the mag is a little much stopping power per reload.

HEL Autopistol is okay. Its damage is a bit low, but it has crazy stagger and pen de-facto makes it serviceable for killing multiple things quickly.

Carbine is okay. Its ammo is a bit low, but its stat spread is just really good in general. High per-burst damage, high RoF, decent range, a large magazine, and a fast reload. It does a lot fairly well, and is fairly easy to use.

CS, High-cal, and Shotgun are all fairly flexible and do their own things well. CS has crazy power-crept ammo w/ good stats, shotgun is great baby clear + boss DPS + multitarget, HCP is just consistent and good.

All of the above is also further influenced by the sorts of encounters you can expect in harder content. In places where you need to be efficient/economical, you still need to be keeping pace with a higher threat density, so weapons that tackle both problems simultaneously are just what's strongest (penetration in particular will give any weapon a bump to both burst and sustain). There types of harder threats encountered also tend to be more than just a few things per level, so weapons that are able to answer a wide variety of threats well are just that much easier to justify over weapons that are overly specialized.

#

Weapons that are bad tend to have the opposite sorts of problems.

opinion on choke mod, out of curiosity?

It's bad, lol.

The reload just kills it.

yeah its painful

especially with a four shot clip

which sucks because i want it to be good its fun

Choke mod got power crept out of the game

burst cannon does giant kill better (3 and a bit giants per mag instead of 1 giant per mag)

#

like the gun is cool and all but I just

#

can never justify taking it

silent delta
#

i can justify taking

#

my justification is "meme"

#

by a similar token, where does precision rifle fall

civic wave
#

regular shotgun better if you want a 30 damage shotgun, burst cannon better if you want that ranged weapon that fires into giants and bosses (or hel rifle also serves well for ranged giant kills)

silent delta
#

honestly, high cal better if you want a 30 damage shotgun

civic wave
#

PR is a fine gun I guess, it's nothing crazy but you can get great value out of the range + thermal on some maps where it has a good niche (it's also respectable when fired into bosses)

soft crater
#

Pr feels nice for being somewhat dual roles

silent delta
#

the reload feels a bit too punishing for what the gun does imo

#

i have friends who swear by it

ocean spindle
#

for some reason i aim very well with it instead of every other gun in the game

#

that and revo

soft crater

The reload is definitely punishing

Choke mod should have been the best boss burst in the game

# minor fractal Weapons that are bad tend to have the opposite sorts of problems.

MG can be slow and economical, w/ really bad TTK but on paper you kill a lot of strikers, or you can spray and pray to dump your ammo while wasting a lot of shots that either hit body extra timers or miss entirely. This just makes MG iffy at best, and when you also consider it doesn't even have the most cracked stat combo on-paper, it sucks for chargers and nightmares, and it sucks for general utility, it's just bad.

silent delta
#

but you can dump the whole mag in 2 seconds and the nyou ahve a 2 second reload

PR though I've only really taken it on the harder levels with teammates I know can cover the down time

id move them both down slightly, but for general play mgs are fine for their purpose

its just… people try to do everything else with them aswell

minor fractal
#

VR + 50% pen, I think they're reasonable versatile as sort-of burst-clear weapons.

silent delta
#

i feel like if you're going for the whole "i want a special weapon that can waveclear" the hel weapons outclass mgs on any level with a sightline, and combat shotty outclasses them in close quarters waveclear

and then har is in the video game

The guns are okay but the power of pen shouldn’t go unstated

you rly dont play much of r8d2 in the speedrun lol

avoid tank/scout zone (you jump through blood door to lower alarm)
You kinda only do 50% of the dual scans and dont kill mega mom

current time (pre megamom strat) is like 21:16 or so
but we save around 1:10 just by not doing mega mom

@tardy ingot you said for gtfo% you might have everyone run back to avoid scream, or shoot whoever pulls door right? can't you just have whoever pulls door stand in the mine and blow up

tardy ingot
#

but yea

#

honestly

#

i dont even know

#

doing that costs you legit ~30-40 seconds

civic wave

would enemy being close matter? assuming you have mine deployer solo stealth to door, pull, blow up, and everyone else sits in alarm room

You just don’t run in for gtfo% the blood door

i dont think you would yolo

you don’t mine it is only like 3 enemies

They literally don’t leave the room

minor fractal
#

Not having scream in room is very consistent w/ just casual strats tbh

past mesa
#

If you don’t don anything

tardy ingot
#

you never clear that zone fully
you either open blood door and leave
or you run inside (risky)
or you melee (risky)

past mesa
#

You kill them in 10 seconds?

tardy ingot
minor fractal
#

Melee is not risky, lmfao

civic wave
#

It's probably not as bad or likely if you stand a bit further back

past mesa
#

They do

If you don’t

#

They don’t

civic wave
#

but if you're up at door we've had several times they come in

tardy ingot

they still can

civic wave
#

yeah I'm fairly certain it's less likely but they still do it sometimes

past mesa
#

Just don’t block los and stand right at door way?

#

Insane

minor fractal
#

At that point you just stagger and bait melee tbh.

tardy ingot
#

one guy staggers into room
Screams

minor fractal
#

It's still very easy to control.

#

WHy are you behind him

#

to hit him into room??

tardy ingot
#

ray about to run it 20 times to show me its 100% consistent and never happens

#

yeah

#

Tbh

minor fractal
#

Just the fact that it's consistent in pubs

#

where 1-2 players are room temp IQ

past mesa
minor fractal
#

I think shows it's not hard to control.

tardy ingot
#

its also not hard to run in and shoot if you take guns for it

2 burst cannons and the chance for a scream is insanely small

minor fractal
#

And if you really want to stay safe, you just tank damage on the melee bait.

past mesa
#

But you don’t even loss more than like 10 seconds

is this even about

#

yeah

civic wave
#

oh that was about eva's musings to shoot whoever pulls door so they down and enemies can't scream off them

#

not shooting enemies

tardy ingot
#

its the safest way to avoid room alert florkShrug1 have the person pulling die

#

not the best

minor fractal
#

The best balance of time vs. safe is just to melee blood door.

past mesa
#

it is free to just melee it

minor fractal
#

Maybe even clear around blood door, because 20m is a very small distance.

past mesa
#

even in gtfr enemy random 👀

tardy ingot
#

safest fast would be clear around ad double mine

civic wave
#

I've pulled door twice (alone) and both times a hybrid has wandered out of door (no scream because striker is scripted to do it), but there's still that slight risk if you don't kill that hybrid in time

tardy ingot
#

its so free to clear a 20 m area

civic wave
#

or if another hybrid/enemy etc etc runs out, you get the idea

tardy ingot
#

its what we did early on

past mesa
#

Striker is scripted to do it?

minor fractal
civic wave
#

enemy will always scream when you open the door, no?

little pilot
#

also i just wanna point out: murdering the 1 wandering hybrid out of the zone is quite easy. just melee bait his ass and 3 people gang his ass

past mesa
#

There isn’t an enemy that is scripted to scream

civic wave
#

like tank will always scream in r4e1 after he breaks the door, etc etc, probably not scripted in the true sense of the word but I'm really not in the fucking mood to play semantics right now

past mesa
#

at best it is because they are actionable and met scream actions

little pilot
#

The enemies always scream immediately when the blood door opens which causes an inside scream for cd but idk if it scripted

#

happens with every blood door

past mesa
#

yeah but it isn’t a specific enemy

#

It has to do with scream cooldown and conditions

little pilot
#

can be very funny with charger blood doors

you get the idea

i needn't say any more
