I was not making any comments on how risky it is, I was thinking about enemy behaviour and seeing "yeah that can maybe go wrong"

minor fractal
#

If all four players are at their PCs and reasonably competent, it just doesn't happen.

little pilot
#

i swear in pubs i have never seen the enemies that actually try to run out survive long enough past the first scream cd

tardy ingot
#

person staggering has any amount of lag and gets no scream cancel

#

Any singular melee miss due to a punch

#

if mining is too risky (as jish said) then meleeing is too

minor fractal
#

First, they have to let it run out.

#

Second, they have to both not stagger and not melee bait.

little pilot
tardy ingot
#

shooting is obviously riskier, but with 2BC also not rly an issue

civic wave
#

I mean the thing that I find funny is sometimes you stand inside a hybrid to bait melee and it screams anyway

past mesa
#

Mining is 20 meters by door

tardy ingot
past mesa
#

That is 100 awake

tardy ingot
little pilot
#

mining has a set wake up distance, if any enemy is within that distance you wake up 100%

past mesa
#

you can just get screwed by scout

#

What melee you can play around close scout

#

No issue?

little pilot
#

meleeing u can do it wiht a fucking sleeping striker next to the blood door

past mesa
#

What

minor fractal
#

Not mining vs. mining is just not a major difference.

tardy ingot
#

idk whether youve run that area

but the only issue would be nightmare scout at all

And you can easily just run foam if you wanna be safe (also neat later anyhow)

little pilot
#

for gtfo% u probably run foam anyway

#

but that blood door is not an issue with just meleeing

#

and proof of that is me being hardstuck r8d2 secondary alarm and learning to get 100% of the runs no matter what to the alarm

#

running back takes too long and it is boring af

#

hammer charge up is 1.8s. Scream cooldown on striker is 5 to 20 seconds. Suppose u are insanely unlucky and get 5 seconds: u get 3 hammer hits. For 4 people it is 12 hits. If anything is out of the room then either THE ENTIRE blood door ran out of the room or you fucked up

#

And most of the time u get 16 hits minimum because scream cd is above 6 seconds anyway

solemn stirrup
#

Are there merits to the non-sledge melee weapons that warrant their use over the sledge? Or should one just sledgemaxx forever

ocean spindle
#

the bat is like a mini hammer and big knife, extremely staggering so very useful for cooperation with ur team in case of giants or whatever else, and it's a nice inbetween

tardy ingot
#

just dont pick spear florkShrug1

ocean spindle
#

generally there's no need to take anything but 4 sledges, but u could also make the argument for taking 3 hammers and a knife and whatever else
they have their uses

strange jolt
ocean spindle
#

hammer

#

:3

#

jk just snipe it

#

smh

strange jolt
#

and smalls in r8d1 error scans

ocean spindle
#

so true rlly

strange jolt
#

the range is insane frfr

tardy ingot
#

knife is small clearer
it struggles far more with other stuff, but massively outperforms hammer on smalls

Bat is stagger focused. Less dmg but you soft stagger litteraly everything. Its good to support on a less confident team (and stops mistakes the most)

minor fractal
tardy ingot

#

spear is the goat for crouch only runs

solemn stirrup
#

the spear range does a lot for confidence having never completed, like, anything past a b secondary

ocean spindle
#

yeah i mean it gives confidence but i would highly suggest learning to also kill it with the hammer ksks

solemn stirrup
#

I ruined a r5a3 PE run (solo w bots because 0 of the 4 friends I got to play this game like it) accidentally swinging a sledge directly into a feeler’s chest when I missed the head

ocean spindle
#

happens :]
u can always drop into a level like r7b1 to practice scout kills

tardy ingot
#

gotta remember
Range doesnt matter aside from giants. But those you either shoot or kill from stealth usually

and when in combat hammer/bat does more

tardy ingot
silent delta
#

sledge arcs down from the top of the screen so if you jump so ur above the scout when u swing you're less likely to miss

solemn stirrup
silent delta
#

👍

#

with enough practice it becomes muscle memory

tardy ingot
#

Starts charge, sprint at scout, jump and release hit

silent delta
#

unless theres something close enough that sprinting will alert it

#

but yes

soft crater
#

With enough practice. You'll be racing to kill it before your teammates

(Unless one of them decides to use a Gun)

feral cypress
#

does burst cannon one shot giants to the back or not

halcyon current
#

Yes

feral cypress
#

ah its because back doesn't count as precision

ocean spindle
#

no, only headshots count for that

feral cypress
#

or tumours

ocean spindle
#

i think it counts for tumors

#

pretty sure

feral cypress
#

yeah precision only tumours and head

#

got it

ocean spindle
#

yeah :]

#

funny mechanics

#

i miss circling giants with the bc

feral cypress
#

cant you still do that

ocean spindle
#

my pc died no gtfo for me until a while

#

#

i miss pew pews

feral cypress
#

Im thinking whether BC is the most ammo efficient special weapon if you land all shots

#

or if another weapon is better

halcyon current
#

Idk about ammo effecient but it's the most versatile in my experience

ocean spindle
#

i mean hitting all shots in the bc it's funky unless u have like

#

a lot of huge waves

feral cypress
#

maybe hel rifle is most efficient if you pierce all the time

#

but BC easier to get more use out of

halcyon current
#

Hel Gun is more effecient then Rifle imo

#

But it's also harder to use

past mesa
halcyon current
#

Yeah, chargers+ Rifle

#

In my overall experience oops all chargers is rare tho

feral cypress
#

hel rifle one shots chargers?

halcyon current
#

One shots 5 of em, even

ocean spindle
#

i think hel guns a two shot on em

halcyon current
#

I do too but I can't 100 percent confirm that ngl

native sun
halcyon current
#

Hope you've been well, information man

feral cypress
#

bc seems a bit worse for chargers

ocean spindle
#

yeah the 22 per bullet dmg is a bit of a worse than 16~~ of the hel gun

halcyon current
#

BC feels awful into chargers imo

ocean spindle
#

two out of three bullets of the burst is funky

feral cypress
#

I was looking at damage numbers does the bullet of a bc do 22.1 or 22

#

wiki and in game give different results

halcyon current
#

That being said I find chargers are rarely alone

#

And the BC is good for hybrids and bbcs and what not

ocean spindle
#

they are just there for rounding mostly

#

unless it's like an auto

halcyon current
#

I'm pretty sure they do cause DMR .3 hp instance ngl

native sun
#

22.0

ocean spindle
#

but the 0.1 or 0.01 it's mostly just for rounding

#

oh it is 22 flat

feral cypress
#

it shows me 22.1 in game

#

and 22.0 in wiki

ocean spindle
#

i mean it would be the only weapon to have a flat dmg i think

native sun
hazy wedge
#

I thought it was flat 22

ocean spindle
#

maybe

feral cypress
#

uhhh

ocean spindle
#

anyways yes it's bad for chargers but still not terrible

#

at least it has range

flyers shadows bbcs uh shadow giants i think a couple more snatchers

Me and some friends are playing R7E1 and sometimes we will be immune to both big and normal flyer damage. Sometimes its just one of us and sometimes it will be all of us. does anyone know whats causing this?

tiny wyvern
#

you can temporarily become god

but it'll catch up

civic wave
#

Or shooter bug

tiny wyvern

Or shooter bug

#

ye

tardy ingot
pearl estuary
#

thank you guys for the explanation. We went in with a bio scanner and I think its caused by the flyers themselves causing the shooter bug. When you are in rooms where you get close to the ceiling, they go up through the ceiling and indefinitely fly off into the void lol.

Magazines don’t get cleaned up after the level, so one falls through the floor and eventually leads to memory leak where projectile collisions don’t work

Also afflicts foam on doors/things

tiny wyvern
#

I thought bc was bad on bots, no?

#

I mean it works fine enough in a pinch

safe cradle
#

I'd just stick to Verutas tbh

#

Also I didnt try again since BC went from 5 to 3 bullets per burst

solemn stirrup
#

are the bots just cracked with burst rifle and veruta, or are those like the weapons that stop the bots from being bad the most

#

cause if i remember neither the burst rifle nor veruta are terribly impressive weapons in the hands of a player

halcyon current
#

They're just the weapons that work with the logic bots have to use guns the best

arctic marten
#

bots go crazy on the burst cannon dont let the haters tell you otherwise

halcyon current
#

Yeah, scattergun too

arctic marten
#

no they dont know how to use scattergun

ocean spindle
#

it hits like the bots make it hit, people just don't use it cause u got carbine right there

halcyon current
#

Wait so why isn't carbine the go to bot gun?

ocean spindle
#

at least i think it has more bullets

halcyon current
#

Yeah that makes sense if they just start shooting at a designated range

ocean spindle
#

ah no it has a bit less but as it's a 3 burst it saves a bit more on them
burst rifle it's less spammable

#

but yeah range it's extremely important for bots in general

#

they'll shoot on los so

halcyon current
#

So if they have a hel shotgun

#

Lol, lmao

ocean spindle
#

yeah it's it's terrible

#

that's why they are very bad with scattergun, sawed off etc etc

#

despite how good those weapons are- even compared to the veruta

#

they just need the range

Short rifle should be S tier

narrow niche

digital mural

Let me introduce to you, the short rifle. On paper and given to an aimbot, this is like the most broken weapon in the game but it feels like horse shot to use because to use it yo its full potential you literally need to be superhuman, able to click 20 times per second. This is where the macro comes in. You create a macro that when you hold a button, it clicks really fast, mimicking full auto. Don't go overboard with the firing speed. I set mine to fire somewhere between 5 and 10 per second, similar to the assault rifle. Then you bind that button to your most accessible mouse button.

Now you have a weapon that is the most generally ammo efficient in the game with the normal semi auto and then when you switch to full auto, it has up to the highest dps in the game, each bullet dealing more than twice of what the assault rifle does, still with a huge ammo capacity.

The only drawbacks are the somewhat hard to control recoil and half stagger, yet remember it still staggers more per bullet than the assault rifle and pretty much always staggers on heashot. Its also not super great for sniping shooters with early fall off. Deletes both strikers and giants though

frail heart
#

That guy should be crucified

hazy wedge
#

I made short rifle a true auto weapon instead of semi to test it and it’s better it’s left as a semi/macro auto

frail heart
#

Also there’s a guy just smoking a blunt in front of me on the train

#

How do these mf’s not get caught

hazy wedge
#

They’re a detective

frail heart
#

Smoke illegal substances to draw out the others

#

past mesa
#

Long reload makes it quite poor compared to any other wave clear gun and any other boss killer

It’s burst used to be the main thing that was insane about it but scatter burst damage just outshines it 5 fold

What's the ideal use case for burst cannon? Currently on R5C3.

Thinking about using it for the tank(s?) on overload

halcyon current
#

There are living enemies infront of you and you don't want them there

upper ginkgo

when you want to be boss/big clear with range and have decent wave clear potential

turbid horizon

thank god

#

Yes

turbid horizon
#

finally, I’ve been replaced

#

thank goodness

halcyon current
#

The only things I don't like shooting BC at are chargers so far ngl

upper ginkgo
#

it's basically one burst per charger

halcyon current
#

It feels really weird into chargers cause it 2 shots them

#

Yeah but it feels sub optimal to be shooting at chargers if someone has a hel rifle or something

turbid horizon
#

i generally will only use BC for normal sleepers and giants

#

burst once in

#

wait a second

#

I fucking completely forgot it’s 3 burst now

halcyon current
#

I use it for normals, hybrids, giants and their variants, and bosses.

turbid horizon
#

God dammit

digital mural
turbid horizon
#

i miss old BC :(

halcyon current
#

It is surprisingly good at wave clear ngl

upper ginkgo
#

having a bad matchup against chargers isn't too bad

halcyon current
#

I mean yeah, it's a good match up for most other things to my knowledge

turbid horizon
#

new burst cannon is pogn’t

upper ginkgo
#

like you're still a good clear for everything else with decent range

#

that's the only reason why burst cannon can "compete" with scattergun

turbid horizon
#

like I know it’s technically way more efficient for giants but man it feels shit

#

Doesn’t have the OOMPH anymore

upper ginkgo
#

maybe it's the ratio between the amount of bullets shot per burst and the cooldown between shots

turbid horizon
#

like the actual feel of the gun just feels ass now

#

there’s no feeing of power

#

the 5 burst just felt so good

#

And satisfying

#

Man says, being able to casually 1 burst a giant to the back

i mean you can still do that

Is syncing melee hits on charger scouts reliable enough to try? The other person I play with is on the other side of the US so there's definitely some ping on their end, not sure how much that matters to sync melee

civic wave
#

more ping honestly better, as long as client hits first

civic wave
#

but it's very consistent

tiny wyvern
#

You could get someone who could do it consistently to show you and help you practise

civic wave
#

there's not really anything to show

#

just charge, make sure the other person is charging, and then you both hit

tiny wyvern
#

Well mostly practise

tiny wyvern
civic wave
#

honestly, pretty rarely unless you're playing modded

#

because you normally just kinda shoot the scout

tardy ingot
#

usually foam or guns just prevail

ocean spindle
#

u only rlly sync melee for cscouts ever

#

that's the only enemy it like spoilers too, and i guess giants too

#

but giants it's different

#

not so much hurting at the same time, just following up the stagger chair

tiny wyvern
#

The only times you need to get gud at sync hits is well...
R7C3 if you can't find foam

tardy ingot
#

also iix syringes

ocean spindle
#

i mean in general u can sync hit almost every cscout if that's what u mean

tiny wyvern

You can even do a funny melee hit into mine kill

indigo lion

do all enemies from alarm wave spawn simultaneously or there is some kind of period in which small groups spawn one after another?

livid stone
#

im pretty sure ive seen them trickle in

civic wave
silent delta
#

standard alarms spawn in a big wave, and then when that wave is close to dead, another spawns in

indigo lion
silent delta
#

yes

civic wave
#

ya

silent delta
#

you can tell when a new wave spawns by the distant scream

#

if you finish the scans and dont hear a second scream, congrats, u only have to fight one wave

#

so technically if you're close to done with a scan, it could be optimal to not kill things till the scans are done to ensure you dont get a second wave

civic wave
#

or in select circumstances, you can step off scan to spawn even more enemies

#

you can see this in r4e1 speedruns to get enough enemies behind you to block tank spawn

silent delta
#

do tanks count as 2 boys or 3 for spawn cap

#

"m_populationRampOverTime": 200.0
This is a timer for 200s that scales everything in the wave settitngs from min to max while the alarm is running.

Over 200 seconds, this ramps up to 25 enemies per wave.

this is eye opening oh my fucking god

digital mural
#

normal alarms ramp up?

silk radish
#

Yeah, 3-4 waves will have a few more enemies, if the alarm goes on for that long

ocean spindle
#

suddenly pieces start clicking in my head

digital mural
#

Why did no one told me this

#

Wtf

hardy grotto
#

I feel like it’s pretty hard to notice with normal alarms

silk radish
#

This game has a lot of hidden knowledge

ocean spindle
#

why was this not common knowledge omg qwq

hardy grotto
#

because yeah most just don’t last that long

digital mural
#

How i am discovering this 500 hours into the game

#

💀

ocean spindle
#

if y'all knew for so long WHY ISNT IT ON THE WIKI KDNSKDM

#

i'm joking i probs know why but

#

omg my god

sturdy glen
#

wait I thought that was common knowledge too

#

what

silk radish
#

Cause it isn't true for all alarms, and documenting which alarms use which settings would be a headache

ocean spindle
#

qwq

#

i mean no one told me

hardy grotto
#

maybe these things would appear on the wiki if people didn’t spend more of their time coming up with the worst fucking trivia

ocean spindle
#

no one says it kdmsk

sturdy glen
#

its why solo is kinda fucked if you actually shoot alarms

silk radish
#

I'll have you know I have great trivia

halcyon current
#

I still want to know who and why

ocean spindle
minor fractal
#

90% of alarms use the Apex settings.

ocean spindle
#

all alarms ramp up this is so fucked up

silk radish
#

I said it isn't true for all alarms
I guess you could say these are the standard settings, and mark out which alarms are different, but again that sounds like a headache

ocean spindle
#

this means that bot runs are also harder cause u cannot do the circles so fast

#

qwq 1k hours still figuring things out

#

this games so fucking deep I LOVE IT GRAHHH

minor fractal
#

Errors are the only alarms that don't tend to ramp all of the time.

ocean spindle
#

i mean it's like unnecessary to mark it can just be put as a fun fact
as a trivia if u will

hardy grotto
#

What about surges :DDDD

ocean spindle
#

surges ramps :3 omg from 25 enemies to 26 every 400 seconds

silk radish
#

Surges use the same ramp but mess with the group pause timings

minor fractal
#

The group size ramps, but that's basically it.

#

You wouldn't really notice

#

because it hits cap anyway

hardy grotto
#

The secret double enemy cap surge at 700 seconds

ocean spindle
#

it does ramp- omg kdmskd

hardy grotto
#

It’s real

ocean spindle
#

man this game has so much under its mechanics it's so crazy

minor fractal
#

Diminished I don't think has a common setting

#

there's like 10 used in various places.

halcyon current
#

Tbh I don't think I've even seen a diminished yet

Did my first run of R4D2 a day ago but I am firmly in elden rings grip rn

#

Scout waves as well, but that makes sense since these are population-based waves.

ocean spindle
#

uhh when it's the first diminished...

#

i think in r5

#

r5a3 I Think

minor fractal
#

R5Ext added it, yeah.

ocean spindle
#

either r5d2- or some other r5 early level

#

oh a3

#

right the final scan i think

#

i just remember the funny d2 alarm being diminished cause it fucks u over so much more like that

minor fractal
#

Like, if I'm coming across an alarm for the first time, it's easy to guess at whether it will ramp or not.

#

(and whether it could be either or)

#

I never noticed normal alarms ramping up but to be honest unless you solo it's kinda rare to have a non-error alarm last more than 200 seconds

#

I'm curious what the difference in "population points" is between sleepers

#

Do strikers and shooters cost the same? Does everything cost the same? I wonder about Chargers too.

fallen kite
#

giants,hybrids, chickens, bbcs take up 2 or 3 not sure

#

and bosses, no clue

tardy ingot
#

iirc shadows are less than 1 no?

#

and chargers usually spawn in smaller groups but im not sure whether that matters

tiny wyvern
#

giant and similar enemies count as two

#

and strikers and similar are 1

native sun
#

How much an enemy costs depends on the alarm's settings.

But in the most typical alarm settings Strikers/Shooters will cost 1 while Giants will cost 2.

topaz anvil
#

I like my strikers to cost 1.01 😎

tiny wyvern
#

I always thought it'd be baked in

#

And just can't be changed

#

makes sense I guess

minor fractal
#

There's a per-wave cost value, and then a per-enemy cost that counts towards global cap.

rustic plinth
#

solo killing strikers in stealth doable?

#

like the giant dudes

tardy ingot
rustic plinth
#

i see videos of people hitting every limb one by one starting with the head

#

but when i do it he screams and others hear it

tardy ingot
#

abuse back damage and limb breaks (hitting limbs so they break)

#

you cant fully charge cuz that would give it enough time to scream (or attack)

rustic plinth
#

aaah

#

i see

#

how much should i charge it up

tardy ingot
#

i dunno about the % values

#

test it out (id recommend r2b2) or check out what people in guides for it do

#

its pretty far tho

#

about 75% or more

rustic plinth
tardy ingot
#

ah
then you generally shouldnt have to worry about soloing giants too much anyhow

halcyon current
#

It's good to learn

#

Gonna be easier to practice earlier imo

tardy ingot
#

well yea

#

but after R1A1 is a bit early

#

soloing giants is rly more intermediate

im glad that frame perfect bhops have applications in every single video game

halcyon current

I wish more games embraced them

ocean spindle
#

i mean why

digital mural

because its cool

tardy ingot
#

super jump is just the first jump

halcyon current
tardy ingot

which is super easy to do

ocean spindle
#

or have perfect accuracy out of this world

ocean spindle
#

neverminds then :3

ocean spindle
#

i mean maybe it's the games i've played or my skill issue but in gtfo i don't think it's rlly possible to chain several frame perfect jumps just with the space bar

#

and same goes for- for example- half life 2

minor fractal
#

Depends how many blackhops you want.

tardy ingot
#

repeatedly doing frame perfect inputs over hundreds of times in a row is pretty hard

minor fractal
#

Hitting a few is not too difficult.

ocean spindle
#

generally just 10 20 it's difficult

so asking for it to be normalized in most games sounds

a bit iffy

well bottom line bhops are hard :3
don't normalize them most of the time they are too easy to exploit

enemy hitboxes don't update until they're done with the animation so you can hit them in the back even though the model is facing you

@civic wave theres a screenshot on speedrun discord

slendo u should try bhopping after binding scroll wheel to jump, it makes it much easier

halcyon current

that in most games they are so hard the jump is binded to scrooll wheel- FKSKSMAKD SMH

#

:[

silent delta

lmao

halcyon current

Tbf what do you actually use scroll wheel for?

digital mural
#

slendi you should try to bhop

oh wait

in doom eternal the settings dont even allow you to bind jump to the scroll wheel

you have to use console commands

i stand by the list in general
Theres a few things id move around slightly. But nothing major that would change the implication of how good a gun is for playing this game

tardy ingot
#

theres another list, by rayalot, which has some changes in comparision (hes also in that video) but its more aimed at more difficult style play

#

and yea

Hel weapons are all rly good. Bullpup is quite bad @rustic plinth

rustic plinth
#

Why's bullpup bad?

tardy ingot
#

in general the only thing thats outdated in those videos is hel auto sentry in the tool video

Its noticeably better (while still being incredible niche and not a good general pick)

digital mural
#

really bad reload speed

tardy ingot
# rustic plinth Why's bullpup bad?

Full autos in general arent good in this game. They lack damage, time to kill and more

Bullpup specifically has a noticeably long reload aswell

#

so you shoot and dont do much, but you also reload a longer time than other guns

(Other main weapons with long reloads are either exceptionally powerful (hel shotgun), have a reload cancel (dmr, going from 2.3 to a bit over 1 second) or both (hel revolver)

rustic plinth
#

Interesting

digital mural
#

in other words
give a try to the hel guns

#

they are really powerful

rustic plinth
#

I definitely will

#

We're playing every night so I'm trying to learn a bunch more before we play cause we getting our asses kicked

tardy ingot

getting your ass kicked is pretty typical since this game revolves a lot about knowledge

when i do alarm doors when do they stop spawning?

is it after i complete the scans or after i open the door?

opening the door right after the alarm ends will pull the enemies inside the room so don't :3

ok cool

it's oki

silent delta
tiny wyvern

A scream tells you that there's more coming though

#

So if you finish the scan and a scream happens immediately

rustic plinth
#

every time i play with my group i open the door immediately

tiny wyvern
#

you get a punish wave

rustic plinth
#

to stop them but i see im dumb

tiny wyvern
#

no matter wha

#

open early means no shooting

#

cause gunshots wake everything up

#

means the last of the wave needs to be cleared with melee

#

means losing health

#

means usually dying for beginners

#

and waste of ammo if you aren't that good

#

Always wait until the bg music does the drum roll or goes completely silent

#

then open doors

#

There can be strags but much better than opening doors early

#

Anything other questions @rustic plinth
