#

its pretty close on bodyshot, so headshot should be easy

tiny wyvern
urban oriole
#

thankfully

#

unlike chargers -. _-.

prime musk
#

if closer than like ~29m
(for reference it kill strikers with bodyshot from ~27m)

fathom ice
urban oriole
#

am saying based on the logic that high cal is close to killing on bodyshot, killing on crit is easy

fathom ice
#

it's not really close but fine

urban oriole
#

isnt it 30 damage out of 37?

fathom ice
#

back and head work ye

fathom ice
urban oriole
#

ohhh

#

well 1.5 shots you could say

#

a crit or a back shot does push it over

hardy grotto
#

37 hp

#

for nightmare strikers

fathom ice
#

yes

hardy grotto
#

where's the 42 coming from

fathom ice
#

scout hp

hardy grotto
#

oh theyre on abt scouts not nightmare strikers

fathom ice
#

yeee

hardy grotto
#

been a long time since ive seen anyone not just call them scouts

fathom ice
#

everyone talks about their tentacles smh

hardy grotto
#

yea but scouts r old news

#

the new tentacle ppl are nightmares

fathom ice
#

ye fair

errant dome
soft crater
#

Imean. I figured it would be scouts given nightmares basically don't have a head. (Technically they do but meh. Funny shrunken headass)

plucky nacelle
topaz anvil
soft crater
#

Even then. It's probably counted as body dmg like chargers

hardy grotto
#

someone has to grind for the nightmare striker headshot

#

It’s gotta exist

soft crater
#

Iirc

#

Nightmare Giant has a small one on top
.

#

At least from what can be seen with the hitbox models mod

frail heart
#

nightmare scout does as well

soft crater
#

While funny. I didn't manage to hit the N.Giant head :P

#

Well at least they aren't cursed looking like flyer hitboxes

minor fractal
#

If it were close, you'd expect one-shot on slight back damage, which HCP doesn't have

#

Sniper is actually close, and should one-shot from basically the side (1.05x multi).

urban oriole
minor fractal
urban oriole
#

i think you missed my point

#

i said that as in you can easily get the kill if you get crit

#

cuz more than enough damage

minor fractal
#

Your justification for your "point," that HCP overkills on HS, isn't very good justification of that fact

#

since HCP isn't very close to killing on body

urban oriole
#

what is close then?

minor fractal
#

Sniper, at 40 damage

#

HCP is more like slug shotgun than Sniper relative to scouts

civic wave
#

30/37 is 81% of the way there, so really you'd need a ~25% increase (specifically 23.3(recurring) %) damage increase for the kill

prime musk
#

can you sniper bodyshot and quickdraw knife to kill a scout

civic wave
urban oriole
civic wave
#

couldn't do it must've been a bad roll

minor fractal
#

To be clear, you need a 1.4x multi to one-tap scout w/ HCP.

civic wave
#

Ah right yea for scout

minor fractal
#

which isn't too hard to get, but it's a lot tighter than 1.05x, and it certainly requires some effort to obtain.

civic wave
#

whoops, i am not a smart lady

#

+7 damage is just short of a DMR shot, +12 is just short of a precision rifle shot, if that reference is any helpful, so the base damage increase you'd need disregarding any multipliers would be akin to you firing from a 2nd gun

prime musk
quiet kettle
#

will i have any issues with not unlocking achievements/cosmetics if i install QoL/bugfix mods?

livid stone
#

no

digital mural
#

no

mental bay
#

Is there any weapon that I shouldn’t use? Or are they all pretty balanced compared to each other?

digital mural
#

They are just

#

Straight up bad

mental bay
#

Any secondary weapons I shouldn’t use?

#

I recall the sniper being pretty bad?

digital mural
digital mural
#

BUT

#

It got nerfed hard

#

It still is fine but theres better options

digital mural
#

Low damage and really low stagger

#

No reason to bring it when everything else is better

#

(especially since its the special slot)

mental bay
#

Alright

#

I usually bring the shotgun or revolver for my secondary

digital mural
#

Those are really decent picks

mental bay
#

just wanted to make sure I wasn’t throwing lmao

digital mural
#

You can make the bad weapon works

flat oar
#

if a team still struggling killing wave sniper is bad.but if a team good at killing wave and make playspace sniper gonna make the game easier

digital mural
#

People cleared the hardest level with worst guns in the game

#

And honestly
Run whatever works with you

mental bay
#

True true

crystal blaze
#

Sadge :(

digital mural
crystal blaze
#

Now I have to find someone else to babysit him now

#

Fuck

minor fractal
digital mural
#

Than doesnt really mean much anyways

#

Everything is better than Autos

#

And i didnt mentioned Autos specifically :b

sturdy glen
#

but you did mention burst rifle specifically

digital mural
#

Yes Chill dude

#

You have really good eyes

sturdy glen
#

damn did not realize you were a baiter, mb

digital mural
#

Yeah
The one that goes brrrbrrrbrr and not brrrrrrrrrrr

frail heart
#

burst rifle is decent

digital mural
#

I have no one
Even new people
Use that gun

#

Absolute no one goes and says
"Oh yeah burst rifle time"

urban oriole
#

i use it :c

#

albeit am bad at it

tiny wyvern
#

I use it to punch things that are too far away for me to use melee

#

It's pretty good at doing that

digital mural
#

Punch?

tiny wyvern
livid stone
#

id rather use burst pistol

tiny wyvern
jolly gazelle
#

Hey, is gtfo peer to peer?

tiny wyvern
digital mural
digital mural
jolly gazelle
#

Oh does it use steam routing?

tardy ingot
digital mural
#

No

digital mural
#

Steam to connect to other people
Playfab to save progress

digital mural
frail heart
#

because bullpup exists

digital mural
#

I was about to say not even newbies touch that weapon (they prefer bullpup)

tardy ingot
#

pickrate is a shit metric

Vets rarely use burst rifle cuz they pick the actual strong stuff

Beginners/meh take the shit high pickrate stuff

digital mural
#

Burst rifle feels awful to shoot and the damage is mid and it's only decent against smalls

#

At least it has range

#

But thats about it

jolly gazelle
digital mural
#

Yup

#

Even with your IP people can't do anything at all

jolly gazelle
#

I am asking because usually when I open the overlay it says that it is routing. (in other p2p games like drg) but not this game.

jolly gazelle
digital mural
#

Dw

digital mural
#

But i don't think it's something to worry about too much

tardy ingot
digital mural
#

I definitely suck with burst rifle if its almost the same as carbine

#

I think its time to become a burst rifle main

urban oriole
#

you better do

#

do all burst weapons loadout

digital mural
#

BC is going to carry me

urban oriole
#

mhm

jolly gazelle
ocean spindle
#

so idk what ur going on about lmao

civic wave
#

it's a fine gun, but feels a tad sluggish with the reload

#

good range, good damage, good sight, good gun

#

mostly a problem of unfamiliarity probably

ocean spindle
#

gun has a big body it is automatically amazing omg

#

i was the only burst rifle player in any of my runs

#

sad

tiny wyvern
ocean spindle
young trench
#

whats the best gun to use in a run

#

just a normal run of like

#

in general type beat

tardy ingot
#

Any of the top 3 mains and top 3 specials

#

pretty much

frail heart
#

uhhhh probably sawed off and hel rifle, hel gun or scatter

young trench
#

alright thanksies

hard nexus
#

slug shotgun and short rifle

safe cradle
#

What I KNOW is that there was a way of getting your STEAM ID but steam never really hides that.

livid stone
#

high cal and smg

jolly gazelle
safe cradle
#

You also dont really connect directly to a client anyway, it goes through nodes

#

Try to get like a site close to you and tracert it

#

it's not going to be a single jump but way way more

#

I'm sure there's people who are way more qualified than me in this server to talk about it but AFAIK it's not possible

dire hollow
#

How do I take out scouts without setting them off and waking up the room

tiny wyvern
#

precision rifle, choke mod/ special shotgun, hel rifle... we can go on

dire hollow
#

Awesome thank you!

dire hollow
tiny wyvern
#

The strat is to break the head by hitting it with full charge melees and then break limbs

#

That will usually stagger them, making sure they don't hit you while you try to stealth them

dire hollow
#

Got it

soft crater
#

Yellow Syringes. 3x melee dmg for 1 hit within 8 seconds

frail heart
#

how many different end screens are there again?

flat oar
#

og, normal, r8e1, r8c2, r8e2 ?

frail heart
#

r8a2 as well

finite oracle
#

how is r8a2 different?

soft crater
#

Imma find the Remove GTFO from steam library end screen

frail heart
#

for secondary

finite oracle
#

i never noticed it

soft crater
hybrid schooner
#

how does key distribution works?

#

i tried several times to parse key spawning area with log

#

but i still dont understand

hybrid schooner
#

yeah

#

with the key weight and random value

tardy ingot
#

are you trying to figure out how it decides where to spawn keys?

#

for that id ask, why d4rkevThink
i have some basic understanding due to cell spawns. But It probably wont help much for that

hybrid schooner
tardy ingot
civic wave
#

for figuring stuff out for keymaps, using a DLL/file to spawn all boxes and output text correlating each box to an ri: number

tardy ingot
#

ri:

is what you search to get a number for a key spawn

civic wave
#

there is also spawn weight, which affects distribution a bit but i'm not sure that's what you're after

hybrid schooner
#

yeah but to get a actual area like a b c and location you need specific location data like json

tardy ingot
#

o.O ?

hybrid schooner
#

like warden mapper

tardy ingot
#

wardenmapper just takes known things from logs and puts neat little markers onto screenshots of maps

hybrid schooner
#

yeah that's it i also making other mapper

tardy ingot
#

we know ri: 47 in r1a1 is the first key in G for zone 50

and we know area: 15 is hsu in B

that would then get projected onto the screenshot

#

its just a unique thing for whatever you wanna find

hybrid schooner
#

yes but you need r1a1.json to get area

#

my goal is find area without json. that's why i was asking

tardy ingot
#

d4rkevblank uuh im a bit confused

why do you need an r1a1.json

#

the game itself doesnt give a top down info for where a key spawns in the level

#

in the logs

tiny wyvern
#

what exactly do you want to do?

hybrid schooner
hybrid schooner
frail heart
#

i dont think the game cares what area it is

#

just the locker id

tiny wyvern
#

You could probs ask a plugin dev whether or not that's possible

#

Around modding general

tardy ingot
#

for key the area doesnt matter, just the specific locker (as frosty has said)

spark wolf
#

it shows the weight of each area in the logs

tardy ingot
#

ya

spark wolf
#

and it shows the random value from 0-1 to determine which to pick

#

that is all you need to know the area

#

if A is a weight of 1 and B is a weight of 1

#

then < 0.5 is A

#

rest is B

tardy ingot
#

tho why do you need to know the area for keys

#

when we know specific location

hybrid schooner
hybrid schooner
#

gonna check it again

wet flax
#

is the game possible/fun co op?

storm needle
#

yes

#

4 player coop

wet flax
#

oh i mean coop like 2 players

#

is it still fun then?

tardy ingot
#

2 players can still be quite fun yes

storm needle
#

u can do 2 players too

wet flax
#

alr but how possible is it

#

cause we both kinda suck lol

storm needle
#

oh

#

thats what u meant

#

u can manage

tardy ingot
#

the difficulty doesnt scale tho, so (i presume you are taking bots for at least a while) it will become a good bit more difficult on harder levels

you can work around this by learning more about the game

#

this game is pretty knowledge heavy for many levels

wet flax
#

ah

#

that sucks

tardy ingot
#

as in you can beat them with pretty meh mechanics

wet flax
#

how punishing are the respawn mechanics?

tardy ingot
#

but in return you can also go through with less knowledge (if at least basic) if you are insane at the game

digital mural
tardy ingot
wet flax
#

ah

#

dang

digital mural
#

That means until then if You die You DIE

tardy ingot
#

if you as a player die then you can get revived tho
unlimited times

#

its just if the whole team dies

wet flax
#

and there's bots to fill the other 2 spots but they suck?

digital mural
#

Bots are decent in early levels

tardy ingot
#

they dont suck

#

they have weird quirks

#

which can suck

wet flax
#

ah

tardy ingot
#

but bots will perform better than most beginners for a good bit if you let them

#

again, knowledge of what to do will win levels quite easily

wet flax
#

how much levels are there?

digital mural
#

Bots are good at 2 thing than any other players
Biotracker
Stealth

digital mural
tardy ingot
#

83 + tutorial
theres optional objectives for a lot of levels tho, with some being entirely different ways to play the level

wet flax
#

thats neat

#

how long does the avg. level take?

tardy ingot
#

easily hundreds of hours that you will need to go through to beat it all

#

depends on your pace and skill level

digital mural
#

Some levels 2

#

for new people

wet flax
#

damn

#

and if u die once you gotta restart??

tardy ingot
#

generally yes

wet flax
#

dang

tardy ingot
#

a good example for pace mattering is the first level tho

#

beginners often take 45-60 min on it

wet flax
#

well would yall reccomend it for 2 players?

wild flare
digital mural
tardy ingot
#

when its a 5-10 min level, when crouching

uneven gulchBOT
tardy ingot
#

or grab more friends for it

digital mural
#

I recommend trying the game first with a full team if possible

#

Just to start getting used to it

#

GTFO needs a lot of dedication, time and learning

#

So good luck

wet flax
#

A bit like ready or not

#

if any of yall ever played that

digital mural
#

Not even close

#

2 way different games

wet flax
#

they certainly sound alike

wild flare
#

i cant come with anything close to gtfo tbh

tardy ingot
#

they are pretty different

digital mural
#

Welp
They are not alike in any way really

wet flax
#

hard levels, lots of gunplay

digital mural
#

RoN isnt even hard

#

At all

tardy ingot
#

they also play very different
the stealth is just not the same, with it being a pretty appearant thing in gtfo to play around

digital mural
#

GTFO is a mix of stealth and action

wet flax
#

is the stealth hard? i kinda hate stealth

digital mural
tardy ingot
#

not... rly i guess

#

people still make a lot of mistakes, especially beginners

#

so florkShrug1

digital mural
#

You don't have to crouch all the time
Or move slowly

wet flax
#

nice

digital mural
#

People that complain about stealth make it hard for themselves

#

(i Say this because i have seen ton of people saying GTFO is a crouch simulator)

wet flax
#

i see

#

well thanks for yalls responses

#

how much people do you guys usually play with?

wild flare
#

0 xd

digital mural
#

I have my team

wet flax
#

damn

wet flax
digital mural
#

Ye

wet flax
#

alr alr

#

that puts it into perspective yk

tardy ingot
digital mural
#

We kinda suck at the game

#

So

wet flax
#

well i think ive made up my mind

#

thanks yall

#

it was either this or dying light 2

digital mural
#

Dying light 2

#

Easy pick

tardy ingot
#

eh

wild flare
#

bruh

tardy ingot
#

casual game vs in depth challenging one

#

dying light 2 is also... not unqiue

digital mural
#

But it's really fun

tardy ingot
#

its a preference thing in the end for that

wild flare
#

i heard that dl 1 > dl 2

tardy ingot
#

yes

digital mural
#

Yes

#

DL2 isnt a bad game
It didnt deliver what they promissed :b

#

But overall
Fun game

wild flare
#

for me it got boring rly fast ( dl 1 )

tardy ingot
#

getting into the main character is what I enjoy for stuff like that

digital mural
#

🤨

wet flax
#

wait, is it true the game is shuttiung down soon??

#

i read on steam articles the devs abandoned it and its gonna shut down

tardy ingot
wild flare
#

wat

#

bullshit

#

game finished = devs abandoned it xd

tardy ingot
#

the devs have stopped updating the game (its basically finished, with some glitches obviously) and theyll do patches for when major stuff breaks

tardy ingot
#

they are working on another game currently

wet flax
#

oh thats neat

grizzled patrol
tardy ingot
#

thats an article from when we didnt even have R8 yet d4rkevLUL

#

as in there were still like 3 of the currently available campaigns not even in the game

#

oh yea
ingame matchmaking is pretty iffy tho (for multiple reasons)

#

you either host lobbies with friends
or host/find lobbies on this server via the lfg system on here

digital mural
#

Game shutting down soon
1 year old article

#

Thats not soon

tardy ingot
#

1 1/2 year old

grizzled patrol
tardy ingot
#

that does fit as that happened while I was in canada (which fits with the time frame)

lament tapir
#

Hi, its been a year since I last spoke here, I've encountered a very very teeny tiny problem though, a work related accident involving a certain very fancy welder has left me with head trauma and permeant hearing loss in my right ear! Any mods or anything to add like indicators to where sounds are coming from?

ocean spindle
#

he be real cool at the gaming

digital mural
#

The Legend himself

#

@eternal bridge

ocean spindle
#

the silly billy

#

:3

past mesa
#

but realistically it is just a take bio tracker angle

#

bio gives you a lot of info

#

Which is sometimes better than sound

#

Sometimes worse

eternal bridge
eternal bridge
#

Most of the strata usually involve being the Bio-guy

lament tapir
eternal bridge
#

I mean, being deaf means you need as much visual info as possible. (Shadows are a real PITA tho)

#

I usually take a thermal wpn for it unless someone can be the “follow this guy” during shadow parts

#

I do have a soundless guide on steam

#

It’s still under the same name as I have here but look up Soundless as the text and it should be there with a no-sound icon

#

It kinda details my line of thought process in a robotic way

silent delta
#

Deaf strat bring pdw

eternal bridge
#

Right now, it’s whenever if you feel like it

lament tapir
silent delta
#

It would be cool if there was some sort of mod to visualize sounds

#

Like that one fuckin game uhhhh

#

Lurkers?

eternal bridge
#

Idk

silent delta
#

Lurking

#

That's the one

#

You play with echolocation

eternal bridge
#

It makes sense but since I’m able to finish the entire game without sounds, I’m not really interested in sound visualization mod

#

Takes away a lot of the hard work and effort

silent delta
#

Were you a codehunter or a defender on r4e1 secondary

eternal bridge
#

I don’t remember

silent delta
#

I'm just saying it would be interesting in addition to soundless madman

eternal bridge
#

Well, a sound visualization was interesting back then but post completion: not so much but could be ideal for soundless noobies

jagged shore
#

and it would enable slightly less mad soundless people to do still experience stuff yeah

eternal bridge
#

I ran all the tools while soundless (takes awhile without bio tho)

#

What I’m trying to say is: if you’re running soundless, BE PREPARED to treat your own hearing as your own liability

silent delta
#

Maybe something simple

#

Like when a shadow is clicking there's some sort of visual effect

#

To make shadow stealthing slightly less hell

tiny wyvern
#

Well the other guy still has one ear I think

past mesa
tiny wyvern
#

It's not going to be THAT bad

eternal bridge
#

Shadows are already hell, regardless if mods are involved. If they’re clumped together. It’s nearly impossible

past mesa
#

to show clicking

eternal bridge
#

I’m referring Full soundless

past mesa
#

But tbh every shadow room in the game can just be shot up

#

and you just ping

past mesa
eternal bridge
tiny wyvern
#

Betterbio

eternal bridge
#

I forgot which one. It’s been awhile for me too

past mesa
#

R8e2 is probs the only one

#

ngl

#

But you making it there

#

You have another buddy who can do the stealth

#

Or you can do scream cancel tech

eternal bridge
#

It wasn’t R8

tiny wyvern
past mesa
#

I think if you go back to the room

#

You will be able to shoot it up

past mesa
tiny wyvern
#

Rlly?

silent delta
#

The last zone in r4e1 secondary?

past mesa
#

Everytime

#

Stealthing it is troll

silent delta
#

I meant more if you get shit rng and multiple scouts spawn in the first room

#

I had a run where all four spawned in the first room

past mesa
#

R4e1 secondary last room

silent delta
past mesa
#

Rn only has 2 scouts

silent delta
#

Doesn't the zone for the sixth code have like 3 rooms and four scout?

past mesa
#

3 rooms 2 scouts

#

4 shadow giants

#

4 regular giants

#

10 -15 small shadows

silent delta
#

Idk I have literally never codehunted all I've heard is what my overstressed and tilted teammates told me

past mesa
#

LOL

#

yeah it isn’t that bad

silent delta
#

Listen man I'm a bio main, I hold wages

#

Waves

past mesa
#

Double bio level

silent delta
#

Autocorrect is fucking me rn

#

Oh yeah I know

#

But I'm like, the main bio

past mesa
#

Ah

silent delta
#

Most of my crew i run bio so often I'm the best at it

#

And one of em just tosses it on so they can ping scouts/the Fuck You Blood Door

past mesa
#

I am the 3rd worst player on my team so I get the bio

silent delta
#

We did have a run that made it to the sixth code, reactor waves were under control, everything was fine

#

My friend turns around to go put in code six

#

And then suddenly goes down

#

Jumpscare shadow giant from the codehunters no one noticed

past mesa
#

LOL

silent delta
#

Run died :(

past mesa
#

But actually

silent delta
#

Hm?

past mesa
#

Almost every room
In the game with shadows

#

Can just be shot

#

Like you ping scout

#

Shoot scout

#

Then kill room

silent delta
#

Silent shoot the scout 😇

past mesa
#

Not even talking about exploits

#

Yet

eternal bridge
#

I’m a room full of shadows, it’s both pray, carefulness, and pray again

eternal bridge
#

If it’s clustered and blocks your path, while others are around you

#

And wakeups are not ideal

past mesa
#

oh just force the correct wake ups

eternal bridge
#

And give it a chance to wake up the room? No

past mesa
#

forcing the correct wake ups

#

Is the safest stealth

#

in the game

#

Double kills are just safer than single kills because of long range

#

And controlled long range is the safest method in group setting above 3

#

Because it controls the only issue of single kills

eternal bridge
#

Not if it Bs long Afro

past mesa
#

No

#

You can fully control

#

Long range

#

With these two methods

#

Assuming you don’t ever hit an enemy twice

eternal bridge
#

Back now. Was driving home

eternal bridge
past mesa
#

Yeah

#

but hammer has sprint which makes it better for saving broken stealth

eternal bridge
#

Spear has sprint now tho? (Slower yes)

past mesa
#

spear sprint should mostly be considered worthless

eternal bridge
#

Gotcha

past mesa
#

The most useful part about it is alerting scouts

#

so they stop moving

#

Or small extensions of the swing

eternal bridge
#

Spears makes scouts easy unless it’s Chargers

#

The room that I had the most issues beforeR7 was d3 overload

#

Trying to snipe that shadow scout was a 50/50

past mesa
#

r6d3 overload?

eternal bridge
#

Yea

past mesa
#

We had this discussion

#

There is a line up with sniper

#

to make it more consistent

#

3rd line on the bio ping

#

then small adjustment due to height

eternal bridge
#

Yea. But that’s why I say it’s still 50/50 cuz based on where shadows are in that room, you can either try it and end up hitting the shoulder that’s blocking that line of shot

past mesa
#

Most of the time

#

3rd line on sniper hits

eternal bridge
sick locust
#

Can the first level of the game have cfoam?

#

Or is it unable to spawn

#

Nvm I answered my own question

safe cradle
#

not sure if before

#

I know for a fact that tripmines can spawn in the starting zone

flat oar
#

starting zone can spawn c-foam

sick locust
#

Yeah, I just got 2 trip mines but no foam

#

I’ve gotten 2 foam on one attempt

#

Died to a scout

#

Two scouts spawned at the same time

safe cradle
#

It's always two there

#

They either are in different or the same room

#

If you're doing it 100% solo no bots you can cheese the clear by just stealthing shit, bringing foam and luckshit 2 tripmines, 1 for each alarm.

Btw, is the hell gun any good? I’m running spear, smg, and hell gun right now

safe cradle
sick locust
#

Oh and I’m using the shoty turret

safe cradle
#

HEL Rifle's more lenient since you can bodyshot most shit

sick locust
#

I’ll probably swap to that if I die again

#

First time ever playing this game

safe cradle
safe cradle
sick locust
#

Yeah, but I just watched markiplier and so now I wanna try

#

The extent of my knowledge is the first 7 episodes + both solo episodes of mark

#

So far the furthest I’ve gotten was the alarm of the key door

#

Died to that

frail heart
#

I wouldnt take what markiplier does/uses as them being good

#

That was OG

#

And also they didnt have gun knowledge

sick locust
#

Oh, I didn’t take what guns I thought were good from them, I looked up “what are the best guns in gtfo”

#

By the knowledge from mark, I meant the stealth knowledge

#

And weak point knowledge

sick locust
#

Smg was the main one

#

Said it was probably the best gun in the game

#

The Van Auken LTC 5 SMG

civic wave
#

it's the gamerant article isn't it

sick locust
#

Yep

#

It’s serving me pretty well so far though

civic wave
#

i'm so sorry, but that article is complete garbage, you may ask players in the community what the best guns are - there's a consensus, or you may read one of rayalot72s reddit posts, or a podcast style video by d4rkeva which is a tad outdated but still relevant

#

its not a bad gun by any means but definitely on the weaker side

sick locust
#

What would you recommend as a main gun?

sturdy glen
#

Sawed off

topaz anvil
#

That post is so fucking funny

#

Gamerant can be such comedians

hardy grotto
#

I had forgotten about it until now ngl

civic wave
#

Depends on a mix of comfort and strength
Sawed off is indisputably the best
Hel autopistol if you want an automatic gun (or perhaps pdw for the utility of thermal scope)
Hel revo and dmr if you like single shot weapons
Hel shotgun is probably a bit too niche

topaz anvil
sick locust
#

What is good for solo running?

sturdy glen
#

Sawed off

sick locust
#

Ok, I’ll give the sawed off a try once I die (cause I’m definitely gonna die again, this run isn’t going well at all)

sturdy glen
#

Gl

sick locust
#

Thank you

civic wave
#

i guess carbine is also a thing, easy to use and relatively strong for the basic weapons (by which i mean the "standard" guns that have no special quirks or features)

sick locust
#

I’ll give the sawed off a try, and then if I die again, which is likely, I’ll try the carbine

hardy grotto
#

Recommending hel auto pp is insane ngl

sick locust
#

Is it not good?

hardy grotto
#

Worst weapon to recommend to a beginner I think

#

It’s a gimmick weapon

sick locust
#

Ah

hardy grotto
#

and it’s also not good

sick locust
#

That’s fun

civic wave
#

mhm guess so, remember hearing "best automatic weapon" a bunch which would be the explanation

sick locust
#

Gotta love 4 dudes sitting together in a scout room

native sun
#

Worth mentioning, while good guns are generally going to be good in most situations (this is generally what makes them good), there is still some amount of picking the right weapon for the situation

native sun
sick locust
#

Probably should’ve done that

#

Died already tho

#

Is shoty turret good or should I swap it?

native sun
#

It is the worst turret in the game

#

By like, a lot

sick locust
#

Oh

native sun
#

For R1A1, burst is generally going to be your best option

sick locust
#

Guess I shouldn’t have trusted mark

sturdy glen
#

Mark had the right idea, just 4 years ago

#

Actually is it 5 now

native sun
#

Mark is a capital G Gamer, but he also played ages ago and was very insular, by which I mean he developed his own opinions about what was good which don't necessarily reflect what the community settled on being good

sick locust
#

Ok, so burst is best?

native sun
#

For R1A1, yeah

civic wave
#

for what you're doing, yes

sick locust
#

And is it a good idea to place turret outside door facing across it and then foam the door

native sun
#

If you just want the clear though, you can also permafoam the alarm and rely in finding a consumable tripmine

sick locust
#

Ok so what do, it has gotten me through the first alarm pretty well

native sun
#

Enemies will stack up on the door faster than turret kills them, and then when it breaks you'll have to fight 10 at once and die

#

Place turret inside with you, leave door open, you can close door if there is a terrible scan that is by the door

sick locust
#

Ok

#

So what do I do for the key door afterwards though?

#

Without a turret I think I’d die pretty quick

native sun
#

You have a door again

#

You do the same thing

sick locust
#

I don’t think I’d have enough foam for 2 doors

native sun
#

(You also don't need to permafoam the first alarm, it is doable with just shooting, you can even ground foam to make it easier)

#

You bring the foam launcher

#

And you use the tool refill packerinos

sick locust
#

So just kinda pray I get trip mines with that strat?

native sun
#

Ye

sick locust
#

Ok

#

I’ll do like 2 more attempts and then try that strategy

native sun
#

Trying with sentry is very cool, and you'll learn a lot more trying to hold with sentry

#

But it is a lot harder (I remember needing many many hours to be good enough to do it)

#

And you don't want to bash your head against the wall

sick locust
#

Yeah, I’ll probably actually play with friends once they actually have the game and then all my problems will be both solved and multiplied

native sun
#

If you've beaten the first alarm true solo then you'll be big chilling with team mates

sick locust
#

Yeah, but brain cells go down when playing with friends, so that’s the problem multiplier

#

The more I use glow sticks the more I like them

native sun
#

Glowsticks are unironically very good in solo

wild flare
#

make glowticks permanent, not 1-2 mins BabyShooter

urban oriole
#

i dont think they need to be permanent

#

but they def need to last an actual amount of time for their value

safe cradle
#

It's certanly not a weapon I'd use soloing, especially

#

On the other hand I also wouldn't recommend sawn off either

#

Mainly because of all the newbies I've seen picking it and using it like shit

#

It's just NOT as intuitive as Carbine and that's why Carbine's my go to whenever someone asks me for a good/reliable main

hardy grotto
#

Eh it’s fairly easy to use

#

It’s just a shotgun

safe cradle
#

Yeah but consider missing

hardy grotto
#

I mean that can happen with any gun

#

If you’re expecting a beginner to be good with any gun it’s a little weird

safe cradle
hardy grotto
#

with a really fast reload

civic wave
#

with sawed off you can still get partial hits and stagger

#

so in some ways it's more forgiving

hardy grotto
#

It’s just a massively overtuned gun that you can’t really go all that wrong with

#

but carbine isn’t a horrible recommendation either

civic wave
#

of course missing will hurt a bit more than a gun with more in the magazine, but that's just how it goes

#

misses should be considered by how much they threaten your stability than how big of a % of a magazine 1 bullet is

safe cradle
hardy grotto
#

I mean you don’t really have to know about stagger to get use out of it

safe cradle
#

It's not really an hill I want to fight on since I agree using sawn off decently ain't rocket science

civic wave
#

yes because you won't know about engagement ranges or avoiding attacks which will likely make a gun that lets you blanket an area with bullets more effective than a shotgun

hardy grotto
#

you’ll either shoot from too far and get stagger or you’ll whiff half the pellets and probably still stagger

safe cradle
hardy grotto
#

it’s not really a gtfo discussion if we don’t argue for hours and hours

civic wave
safe cradle
hardy grotto
#

Both weapons are just very simple to use

civic wave
#

gerz wins every time btw

hardy grotto
#

Which is good for beginners

native sun
#

I think a beginner would be better at using Goat, but once you understand how to dodge then Gerz gets a lot better

#

I think Sawed Off beats Carbine in a fight as well

hardy grotto
#

How hard does sawed off beat carbine by

#

is it worth going to watch or is it over instantly

sturdy glen
#

Sawed off kills on the first shot, dumps the last 3 for fun, then tbags the corpse

hardy grotto
#

sounds about right

gamerrant my beloved r5a1 top 10 hardest levels of the game

sick locust
#

What do the tiers of matchmaking mean? Is A or E the lowest?

ocean spindle
#

A is the easiest, E is the hardest, u can check by clickin a rundown how they go top to bottom

sick locust
#

Oh

ocean spindle
#

mm is still not recommended tho

civic wave
#

It refers to the tier of level - but you are advised not to use matchmaking

ocean spindle
#

much better to use the LFG channels here

sick locust
#

I used matchmaking and assumed E was the lowest, makes more sense why I got put in a team of people who didn’t stealth at all and just ran through

ocean spindle

can you even matchmake for E tiers when you are new d4rkevThink ?

Thoughts on the Hel Auto Sentry?

digital mural
#

Not bad not good

#

It's not something i would always carry

sick locust
#

How is it at horde clearing?

#

Compared to burst

digital mural
#

Burst and sniper are just better in every single way

digital mural
sick locust
#

Ok

#

Thanks

digital mural
#

Auto sentry isnt made to kill hordes

sick locust
#

Trying to solo the first level with no bots

digital mural
#

Ah

#

If it's solo bring mines then

sick locust
#

Ok

#

Thanks for the advice

#

Mines worked really well

#

Thanks

tardy ingot
# sick locust How is it at horde clearing?

its either pretty bad or situationally goated
its the only sentry that does extra dmg if it hits enemies from behind (this is a bug, sentries arent supposed to do this) + pen

so if its placed in a super tight choke it can do well at killing. its just neither efficient nor otherwise consistent, so burst it is

sick locust
#

Ok

#

yes

#

to me it is 100%

ocean spindle

i mean not really, tongues can still get to u from what i remember and shooters are the exact same

#

plus theres like so few of them that are useful, the one in r1c1 is just to see enemies better

#

but i dont remmeber if u can get hit on one

prisma ivy
#

ok

hardy grotto
#

depends

#

its a cheese spot if tongues cant get you

#

but it also depends on if ur sitting there to avoid tongues

#

if ur just sat there to get height and shoot enemies from a distance then its probably fine

Is there a list explaining utility and usefulness of all of the weapons? That's up to date?

#

I've been pretty stuck with the Shellings, both. Fantastic guns, the pistol and heavy pistol.

tiny wyvern

#

The numbers don't really mean a whole lot to me.

#

Something like "Gun good at crowds bad at giants" and "Good at Giants bad at Crowds" type deal.

tiny wyvern
forest phoenix
#

And I was hoping if there was a defining list for.. everything.

meager lotus
#

probably hella outdated but the core reasoning for each weapon still accurate

Giants/bosses: burst cannon, scattergun, sniper, hel rifle, Hel gun, sawed off

tiny wyvern
#

Yeah that one you shared is fine

forest phoenix
#

Yeah, yeah. Like that steam link you posted.

#

Thank ya.

#

Question. Folk don't like the bat?

digital mural
#

Bat is fine

#

But hammer is just superior

forest phoenix
#

I really do not find myself liking the hammer.

digital mural
#

The only good thing about it is the stagger

#

And being able to break locks in one hit

#

And thats about it

tiny wyvern
#

You can use it for quick clear like the knife if you really want to

digital mural
#

(Im talking about the bat)

tiny wyvern
#

Hammer's a good all rounder for damage

#

And mobility

digital mural
#

We don't talk about spear

tiny wyvern

(You need either that or spear for hybrid stealth effectively)

forest phoenix

Why not Spear?

This game has very little "bad" weapons

Hell, the pistol can stick around until late R8 before you need to take something else

digital mural
#

Whoever designed the spear clearly knew what he was doing

forest phoenix
#

My experience with the Spear is that it's been fantastic for safe giant clear.

But that's... about it.

Does C-foam do anything to enemies while its layed on the ground? Like does it slow them or stop them?

Their design is nice.

lament tapir
# ocean spindle no but it does pen

I like being able to snipe the bigger stuff and instantly have them dead, over penetrating doesnt really matter if you are aiming far above everyone elses head

ocean spindle
#

theres also other options as burts cannon but shure

#

sniper is like, fine until the deeper missions

tiny wyvern
#

And all the other bigs in the game

i do like sniper

#

kinda

#

it is fun for some missions

Sniper works with a team that can crowd clear for you

#

And if you can manage the ammo balance

#

On normal missions without large crowds you don't suffer much, 2 rounds per mag still hurts though

#

That and the reload

#

(I mean I use revolver and machine pis as an actual build, it's inefficient as hell but it still works, sniper would too)

ocean spindle

ah the piss
