You're typically aiming to two-shot solitary regular strikers (if you're client it is possible to one shot, but I wouldn't recommend going for it when first learning the weapon)
But yeah, the power really amps up when it's not a solitary striker, but more like 4 or 7 or 25, you'll probably still keep a two-shot average, but you get to CC the whole wave while you're doing so
When 7 strikers roll around a corner pretty much everything else's answer is to just run away, but HEL Shotty you just get to hold your ground and blast

i dont exactly remember, but stuff like hel gun hel rifle and you should use sniper sentry, you usually can clear all smalls and leave bigs to the sniper while doing the code
albeit sentry boosters were used from what i saw

Sawed Off + HEL Rifle + Sniper Sentry
I also recommend watching some of the solo speedruns of it if you're interested: https://youtu.be/A_qzAIstgQA?si=p4CgGATQcsBrStbx they do a good job of showcasing how to use the weapons (but keep in mind you'll want to full clear waves instead of leaving to plug codes instantly)
On further reflection, it more so showcases how busted the weapon combo is

how many ammo bags to tool bags ratio do you need?
i'll assume still balanced, but ammo seems a lil more relevant
i usually have all 4 use tools saved and get maybe a lil more than half of the ammo in the level

how many ammo bags to tool bags ratio do you need?
Depends which level and how much you're using your tools vs guns
I can kite enemies past a sentry for 10 minutes to use only tool and no ammo if I want

I have a question for all you pros. How in the fuck are you able to solo missions? Security scans during alarms alone seem impossible because you’re dealing with the entire scan and all you got is maybe a sentry backing you up
sturdy glen
sawed of off
native sun
You take weapons that can deal with a bunch at once, and you learn how to semi-circle strafe to get lots of kills while minimizing the ground you give up
offed saw is also pretty good some might say
grand bone
Semi-circle strafe? Like strafing in an arc in front of the horde?
urban oriole
its kinda like payday 2, you always need to be in control and have space to work with
it requires insane skill, and for gtfo you especially need to know what to do and do best strats sometimes
native sun
Semi-circle strafe? Like strafing in an arc in front of the horde?
Like 5-6 guys coming at the same time from the front, you pre-emptively go a bit to the left, then when they get to you you start walking to the right, maybe slightly backwards
Most of them will whiff, and you either get a bunch of easy shots, or you use the time to buy a reload etc.

grand bone
Cool cool cool cool cool
Damn now i wanna try out hel rifle instead of burst cannon
or hel gun
wild flare
hel rifle is more user-friendly, then bc imo
grand bone
BC’s recoil is crazy but its use on hybrids, giants and chickens is crazier. But i think Hel Rifle won’t fall too far behind
Given that its one of the best specials in the game lol
tardy ingot
hel rifle wants pen to deal with giants (which it does rly well)
hybrids and chickens having more health makes the kills take longer (plus they dont line up as commonly)
grand bone
I guess my biggest fear is the worth for using a full mag on a hybrid. But i guess thats without accounting for the 3 other people fighting with you so chances are it won’t actually take that much
Unless you’re the one with the best giant hunting weapons
Also i watched your video on mains darkeva, very informative, very helpful
wild flare
on which rundown you are rn?
tardy ingot
Unless you’re the one with the best giant hunting weapons
even then most weapons will take a lot unless you are specifically running sniper or scattergun (even burst cannon realistically 3 bursts alone)
wild flare
hybrids are not SO common enemy type btw, and with bc you realistically spend 3-4 bursts to kill them
if you miss some bullets, because of hybrid movements
but vs giants bc is a king

What is precision multiplier, and why is it a <1x multiplier?
Like the Hel Rifle has a 0.73x precision multiplier
What does that mean
errant dome
Precision multiplier applies when hitting an enemy weakpoint, more specifically its tumors and heads (if unarmored) of enemies. Its less than 1 for balance, however, hs are still more dmg overall as a hs is at bare minimum 1.5x dmg
stiff hearth
Theorically the weapon would do less damage, but the enemies take more damage when hitting weakspots, so you'll still do more damage anyway if you do the math
Its just to balance
grand bone
Ah okay
tardy ingot
Precision multiplier applies when hitting an enemy weakpoint, more specifically ...
(this actually isnt true, the minimum multi of a crit spot in this game is 1x)
the minimum dmg a crit multi shot can do is 1x of the base dmg btw (so it never can be lower than base dmg would be without prec multi or crit multi)
tardy ingot
What is precision multiplier, and why is it a <1x multiplier?
the function is to make bodyshots better while still letting some weapons absolutely wreck on headshots (rly its just sniper)

if u hit limbs or head, its 1

Sorry i meant hel gun in that not hel rifle

hel gun is 16.25 dmg
so as long as u shoot limbs yes it will stagger

The point of knowing where things are means you can already kill things efficiently
Knowing where a wave is coming from on true solo doesn't really help you kill it

It's either mines if there's enough doors, or sentries

the class 9 is a great challenge and quite fun to do (as it actually kinda forces you into combat)

Worth mentioning: giant tongues use the exact same 'hitbox' as strikers, but they have a much longer wind-up. Very easy to dodge giant tongues, only thing you have to watch out for is if they aren't facing directly at you when they start the tongue, in which case one side is gonna be much better for dodging in.
For the situation you mentioned (2 strikers + 1 giant), in a room that provides any amount of manoeuvrability it should be quite reasonable to just dodge the giant's attacks while meleeing the strikers.
Also after that, a safe and 'efficient' way of finishing off the giant is to break head with full charge from front while jumping through the giant, then just shoot it from behind to finish it off

You should be able to get it
depending how fast your solo tank is

the issue is time when you clear blood door you have 1:30 left
prime musk
depending how fast your solo tank is
you 2 cycle
first cycle kill tank + get key

Unless you have already gotten code
you can just kite into the zone

carbine + hel rifle, do y'all say good combo or mid combo
grand bone
hel revo + hel rifle felt good to me but the lack of volume of fire capabilities hurt. hel gun is a jack of all trades but it felt wasteful compared to hel rifle
sturdy glen
hel gun wasteful compared to hel rifle is kinda crazy ngl
prime musk
it is if you shoot it like hel rifle
grand bone
i just dont know how to get the most out of the hel gun i think
prime musk
play for pen, but prioritise hitting headshots against smalls
(im not good at hel gun play but in my experience everything quickly falls apart if i try to pen over hs)
grand bone
i think imma just suck it up, stop being a lil bitch and get good with hel revo

whats best way to kill scout without a specific loadout and can you crouch through the feelers?
prime musk
if you touch feelers it wakes
generally you can't duck under them by crouching unless room geometry is very cooperative
best way to kill is to melee it
if that isn't possible next best way is to shoot it from 2 rooms away (through 2 doorways) (0% chance entire room wakes)
next best way is to shoot is as the door to the room is closing (an enemy might long/short range aggor and wake room, but if you avoid short range there is at least a chance of keeping room asleep)
if none of these are possible then you shoot the scout and wake room

gunshot range is 50 meters minus 20 meters per door or room divideder if 2 room .sleepers around 10 meters close to the door still wake
prime musk
yeah but it doesn't matter
because they are 2 rooms away
so they can't scream
ergo
can't wake the scout room
- the room you're shooting through is probably more than 10 meters wide realistically

Sort of
QoL mods are welcomed mostly around the base game
The most 'QoL' would be betterbots and Perfect Booster
Anything beyond that is really borders on cheating

I was moreso wondering is it alright if I talk about running completely solo missions with the solo mode mod. I always run vanilla when i’m playing with other people but i like being able to experience missions alone.

What you do on your own we won't complain
Also your experience will vary with what solo mod you decide to use
if you want something built for solo and a challenge, I think there's solo trials
In modded
Most solo mods either make you into a monster of a tank and drop you into the base game where you can just kill EVERYTHING and feel like a god
Some are less that, but yeah
grand bone
The one I use just quarters enemy spawns and resources
Still hard, still fun, and it feels balanced
Especially since scans aren’t changed
tiny wyvern
Yeah... Well, you do you
Just remember to adjust for vanilla play

can you remind me again difference between main and overload?
tiny wyvern
main has all terms in same room, and infinite error
low radish
can you remind me again difference between main and overload?
Main is a terminal command while overload is a timed sequey

tiny wyvern
Nope
And if your teamates don't know what a terminal is
You'll have to do it all
by
yourself
And you can, it's not that hard as long as three people hold

It's like basically an easier version of overload I'm guessing
tiny wyvern
Yep

You know I wish more levels had timed sequence in it. I love that objective

Although 'easier' is debatable
You don't get breaks for it

There's not that much of a future if you're already in R8C1

No no we haven't even started

You can rope them here to do LFGs
Some of us will be more than happy to lead some of them
low radish
Not really
The worst is split code reactor
You mean like R2D2 or
tiny wyvern
You mean like R2D2 or
No
Like the reactor code is like a password
I think there's one that's like that
Where the term only shows you one of the letters for the code
low radish
R5D2?
I don't think it was that one
Maybe R8E2 or R4E1 secondary
I don't remember well
sturdy glen
thats not a thing in vanilla

Wasn't there an expedition where you do have to get scrambled letters
To make a password
I know there was something like that
tiny wyvern
thats not a thing in vanilla
Maybe I got my head prezeled again

Good to know

That or the old 'I watched too much modded and can't remember anymore'
Is it a thing in modded?

I'd say it's rather a modded thing
Also I wanted to ask, out of curiosity. What's worse R4E1 or R5E1 In your opinion
Because people have a divided opinion so I wonder what's yours
