zone 8
the key one?
the one that wants the key
ye
has like 2-3 giants per room, it's a beeeg zone and has chance of hybrids IIRC
i'd just go long with triple surge on my tail ngl
yeah maybe
i solod with boosters once and never again
What about Maddox?
also this rarely happens even in the first few days 
ill probably do it tmrw after uni since im done with the tough stuff for the week then
ty
saw u chatting so
had my dopamine rush now i just want to sleep
contrary to popular belief, verifying isnt just clicking the button 
i do actually "have" to watch the video
ye that seems right
ill usually check at least for some smaller things basically whether its actually the run you posted, same key and whether the finishing time matches up
yeah that's fair
ah right i forgor its per session
ye
ye aint no way im reading 100+k of dat shit unless i get paid for it lul
it's usually 150+ resets
so
oh trust me i know
i love rng!
jokes aside rng is the main reason why i rarely attempt any speedruns
ive played enough gachas to realize that spending hours resetting is not how i want 2 spend my time π
then u spend 10 mins into an r2e1 run and reset because you got ungodly shit scan rng :p
smthin like r8a1 i'll admit is mostly fine since scan rng is smoll, and u have more than just 1 key option
R8A1 is way heavier influenced by straight up rng than R2E1
you are far more likely to reset an R8A1
scan rng changing 5-10 seconds in a run matters more when the run is a simple 5 min adventure over a chaotic 18+ min one
it also comes down to optimization and if you just wanna beat your pb or wr
many people aim only for record and dont run for fun and pb improvement
i just personally really dont like rng when it comes 2 speedruns shrug idm rng when you can do fine with skill (like random enemy spots in gtfo, even with "bad" spawns just git gud and ur chilling). Speedruns tho? you have very lil leeway with rng, TECHNICALLY you dont need 100% perfect but its a very tiny leeway, anything else is reset, regardless of your skill, and I just dont like that.
But ofc, Its just my personal opinion on it, i simply dont like getting fucked by smthing i cant control.
i just used r2e1 as an example cause it was the 1st lvl i thought of with very volatile scan rng xd
Tbh it's not that optimized rn
cell is the main RNG
But I'll agree the variance in how good/bad your time can be w/ the same performance is kind of stupid.
R5E1 and R7E1 are the most optimized E-tiers rn.
makes sense
i mean tbh im not 2 familiar with r2e1 speedrun, i used it as an example primarily for this π
pff, easily r8e1 
Second cell is the most variance in a single roll.
^
theres a good few levels with minimal rng (which will only rly matter once you perfect most of the rest in the level)
R8A2sec is such a level
Last cell would be a lot of variance if not for baby carry, you have to spend a certain amount of time there anyway.
it has 2 alarms that pose variance, but their time difference is for the most of it not that impactful yet
plus no key rng
its all gonna be doomed when you would need to bank on last room cell and leave baby at the start of the zone to get carried to the door during the cluster scans (not that it would ever happen in such an insane way)
atp we would probably have reverted back to ladder foam
and would not be fighting enemies
Yea
Let spawn surge, down the person going back for cell, res them, no enemies aggro'ed on them now
Is the pdw a good weapon? Or is it only good for shadow levels?
just because of the thermal im guessing?
pmuch
it works on levels without shadows
but u wanna bring it into shadows preferably
alr alr
Autos in general are quite bad.
wHaT aBoUt HeL sHoTgUn
Hel shotty is an expectation
When you carve up the weapons
Hel auto pistol?????
you never really fire hel shotgun full auto anyways
only if youre a COWARD
precision rifle is the best full auto in the game
They are more like each other than what is meant by autos, bursts, or semis.
Short rifle*
all you need is 30cps to get the best weapon in the game
can't click that fast? skill issue
Macro
Bottom Text
i have a friend who can butterfly like 25 cps
I encountered a macro user in the wild, and it further confirms my belief that this just makes the gun worse.
its honestly scary
lmao i tried it once just cuz i was curious
the recoil is stupid and you spend 90% of your time reloading
and your ammo goes in 15 seconds
HMMMMM
i wonder what his fingers can do

do u know how much 25 cps is
its a lot for not macroing/dragging
this implies you know
πππ
when i was hard sweating bedwars i used to be able to butterfly about 15
hit 20 a couple times
its not worth it, just use a macro hypixel can't tell π₯°
sweating bedwars
thank god you have recovered
lmao that wasnt even the worst of it
tf is a butterfly
i have over 1800 hours in hypixel skyblock
i feel like its equally likely that you dont know and that you're joking
which is it
its a clicking style
instead of one
yeah
oh
pointer+middle, use both to left click
20 is free then
eh it takes a bit of elbow grease
but yeah
you can drag like 50 if you have the right hardware
i agree
why i never bothered learning
seems like such a pain
i have friends who like buy $300 mice that pros say are good for drag clicking, gloves, drag tape, the works
like bro just butterfly
oh yeah i know
well not completely but u get the point
you can get good at combat or you can just click faster
one of those requires much less brainpower
π
ive played against people who macro crazy cps, its fuckin impossible to pvp them
you get into melee range itss over
I'm like 8CPS apparently.
Ray ure old
Fishing rod strats go hard
I think SR is mostly limited by aim, tho.
Why cps 10.2 when you could do 4 like a normal person
Bind M1 to mouse wheel scroll down
We going back to CS:GO bhop
boooooo macroer π π π
bind mwheelup +jump
doom eternal moment
bind m1 to mouse moving forwards
gtfo keyboardless when
I wish someone would show me their 25 clicks pre second
according to the internet 8-10 is about average
We need to reinvent rolling for the mouse.
Actually, I guess gamers don't even have the option
Because it's two-handed
rolling?
Tetris mashing tech.
originally was arcade cabinet tech
the controller becomes the button
You put one hand on the movement key, and use the other to bump the controller with X number of fingers according to the number of inputs.
so you could quickly rotate the tetris piece into the proper orientation, i imagine?
You'd use it for moving side to side at very high gamespeeds
Because mashing is faster than holding
youve gotten me onto a video about thge history of sweating tetris
that makes more sense
I just watched Summoning Salt tbh
this does
based summoning salt enjoyer
so what im hearing is i should beat the fuck out of the bottom of my desk for faster clickin
Toe dexterity is the final skill prog of GTFO
Need your whole body to play SR properly
optimal play is to do gtfo in VR and roll the controllers
Wtf
pabl im like 99% sure ive told you this before
No You didnt
oh
well
i have over 1800 hours in hypixel skyblock
most of that was in one year π₯°
Was it worth it?
no
Good
hypixel skyblock is a prison
dont play it
ive spent at least 200 hours fishing in minecraft
is it too late to get into this game i cant find a game to save my life
it's never too late
have you opened lfg channels on here :o ?
is the matchmaking system in game dead?
in game mm is maybe not dead but it sucks
i just joined like 1 min ago
mm on discord (in here) is a lot better
.t lfg
Hello! If you are unaware, we have Looking For Group (LFG) channels to help users group up and play the game. They are located here: #lfg-north-america / #lfg-latin-america / #lfg-eastern-europe / #lfg-western-europe / #lfg-asia / #lfg-oceania / #lfg-africa / #lfg-beginners / #lfg-middle-east.
If you are unsure of how to create or join a lobby, please see the instructions here: #how-to-matchmake.
not dead
but most active players prefer the system on discord (its been around before the ingame matchmaking) and the matchmaking system also isnt too well done
ah i just dont feel like joining a vc
Mm ingame sucks ass
So discord is the only good way to find people
You don't have to talk in VC
there's a decent amount of mute players and it isn't really looked down upon
A lot of people use the ingame text chat
ok just cause im in a vc with my friends and i dont wanna leave to talk to strangers
...oh
well 
ah
dats gonna be hard (not impossible, but hard) to find people then
You can't just join the lobby
you dont
sometimes people do it without
its usually just weird cuz theres less commitment for people
Yeah i know but its the most usual thing
You don't see just a post that actually gets a full lobby like that
And if You do its every 400 years
if you're in vc with your friends you should play with them tbh
idk i wanna get into this game but i tried a solo with bots and spent an hour looking for cells and rage quit
Cells?
power cells
r3a2 maybe?
the game definetly isnt easy to get into (mechanics/knowledge wise) without having either
- multiple friends to learn and derp together
- watching guides
- having someone with knowledge teach
i think mm put me into r5...
you poor soul
Yeah dont use mm
It's bad
Host a lobby yourself
matchmaking is horrible
ive used it twice and both times everyone else in hte lobby only spoke russian
lmao idk about that much
i spent at least like 500 hours of that mining
and i got a fully kitted mining setup, more or less
i could make like 30 mil coins an hour
im in a vc with my bf who dosent have the game none of my friends do
yes
Buy it for them :3
convince them to buy it
this game is definitely more fun if you have homies to play it with
Suffer together
Die together
but peopel on this server are fairly chill
spread the pain love!
great to fill up a lobby or meet new people you vibe with
do he/do they not want it
or do they just not have it?
both
shame
π¨ββ€οΈβπβπ¨
always should have a spare key or so around
i work part time retail i dont have the money to throw out keys like that
use disboard to find random servers, get a voice changer, pretend to be an egirl, get a dude to buy it for you
Honestly i wouldnt buy the game for someone else Even if i had the money to
the last time I made a groups day by basically giving them a 50% discount for the last 2 members 
ts easy
This game has a really low player retention rate
1/4
And most of them quit anyways really fast
the r1c1 wall claims many victims
Pubs got better since i first joined
Now they give up mid R2
its crazy btw
ive met like 4 people IRL recently who knew about gtfo
really?
one legit asked me when I wore one of the shirts
like, who've played it, or who've heard of it?
3 who heard, 1 who has it
i just wanted to check it out cause im hyped for dow
GTFO and DoW Will be very different games btw
this game is definitely very unique, and its not for everyone
i know that
but speaking from personal experience, i love it
if they dont put pablo in dow im rioting
We are
both of them
i want them to put you in the game and you have tank pablo as an alter ego
like the hulk
they should add spitters to dow that would be so cool and noone would hate that as an idea
π
as long as they add
too
imagine if spitters werent a dmg explosion
but fired a projectile if you were around
dodge simulator
dont give the devs any ideas
i like the damage explosion, it means we can teamwipe to zits on r5e1
and its funny
if i shined my light on them they actually fucking go to sleep
shining big flashlight on them for 3 seconds actually means it is dead when i pass
spitter hallway of death in r2b4
God i could go past the same hall way for the 10th time and i always fucking forget they are there
losing between 10 and 50% hp in speedruns
I hate them
that one fuckin room in r2d1
do r2b4 speeds care about which zone turbine spawns in
Which one fucking room? Theres like 5 in that level
lmao fair enough
the one im thinking of is u go through the first key door, take a right
that round room w the truck in it
literal wallpaper
the one that always has a fucking scout in it
real
i had my friend die to the spitters while going for the scout kill
did the scout go off?
no
they were just entering the room scout was on other side
"im going for the scout kill"
immediately dies entering room
we then shot the scout and backtracked to find a huge flashlight
the genre of clip of
"I GOT IT"
"man down"
is my favorite
it's so good
You can shoot spitters to disable them for a lil while (they will explode when you shoot them though)
Flashlight good too ofc
spitters really should be killable permanently with melee or something
we're so fucking back
Bazinga!!!!
Guys take this offer it wont happen ever again!!!!!!
@humble night for you
I GOT THIS
dont worry, hani will handle this
(did you catch my reply?)
yur
any tips on r3d1
the constant alarm spawns feel random
sometimes they spawn behind us, other times in front of us, and sometime right on top of us in our room
dont split apart more than 2 rooms it gonna spawn on top
if split 1 3 it gonna spawn on top of 1 person im not sure for this
simplified slightly, every error wave will pick a player at random and then pick a room 2 from that player at random and spawn the wave there
staying either 3 rooms apart or more. or 1 rooms apart or less, ensures enemies never spawn on top
do alarm asap
loot for ammo, get baby to blood door and mine it, and get alarm done
then just beeline to class 6 escorting neonate carrier - shoot up rooms and look for ammo/tool/med to prepare for the alarm. usually there is more than enough in the last 2 rooms in zone, but open anything you pass by
wait for error wave and then full send neonate through the mist
if key is in 389 it's in the small room down left 99% of the time and if it's in 390 it's in the 2 rooms up to the right 99% of the time (numbers not exact point is it's the vast vast vast majority of the time so you don't need to ping the key. just run to those rooms, check all lockers and get key and get out. looting these zones is definitely not worth it.)
thanks for the tips
There is Sometimes a Secret foam Nade on the left Side from the drop Point 
is r5c3 known to have performance issues
im getting lagspikes/framedrops and i have never gotten it on any other expedition
maybe the error?
the stiker one i mean
shouldn't have any issues it is a pretty big but normal level
Back in the days i had an abnormal amount of crashes specifically in r5c3
in the day as in the same version that exists now cuz i don't think it's ever been changed
idk how to use back in the days
dropped gtfo, now i play remnant II
it seems unrelated to size because i've been playing r4c2 all week and had no issues
@fathom ice wdym
ppl use perfect boosters since idk how long
average
truee
Based pub newbie
I still recall a guy who wanted us all to use Arbalist.
For a reactor
That has chargers/hybrids/giants/bbcs

r4d1 moment
I miss old Arbalist and when it still had a better reload cancel
honestly if mgs had lower recoil and better reload i think they'd be fine
Pre rework arby shot a bit faster but not as much dmg
Then they made it slow with 5 dmg per shot
if they had better breakpoints it'd be nice too
arbalist getting 6.7 or something would make it like infinitely better
I rather have that on HAR ngl
HAR has speed over Arbalist in the 5 dmg area but less ammo
ig
solace would u always play HAR if it'd had double stock/clip
I'd need to calculate the ammo costs with that increase
oh my god not the math
just give har its og r6 recoil back lol
ifo would put u in a grave
While not good
It would be fun
Pretty much the only reason I take HAR sometimes
For fun over efficency
The MGs in the base game are so frustrating to me
Especially after using the one in duo trials
i no like most modded guns they feel very weightless
at least veruta kinda feels like ur doing something
meanwhile most mgs modded feel no recoil at all
or at least i've seen
Modded guns moment
@civic wave maybe it's a skill issue but half my attempts die before even reaching the class 2 because of shit enemy placement
half of the remaining die because the class 3 kinda hard tbh
and half of the ones that make it there die because shit enemy placement in key zone
it's just rng im just not interested in grinding that shit
enemy variance goes so fucking hard
there are days when most your runs die to the 10 thousand sleeping enemies in first alarm zone and you can't do shit but die
it's genuinely mindblowing to me that it's unseeded gtfo speeds that are run
feels like seeded is much more interesting and skill based
key zone can suck especially
you can get 2 giants and 6 sleepers on path or you can get 2 smalls in the entire room
the class alarm tile fucking blows but i've gotten so many attempts in that it's no bother anymore and i'm quite fine for the alarm
it's pretty bad but burst sentry carries so hard that it's usually fine
combat shotgun is really fucking good
ya combat shotgun goes hard
i die when im hit with the "15 shooters somewhere in the fucking bushes that i can't hit"
SO TRUE
especially the ones that spawn in the room already
because they already surround you
yeah idk it feels like so much rng it's not worth it
maybe when i finish all the solos i want to get i go back to solo speeds
seeded runs would not be skill based
you get route -> you optimise it like a bot saving ms along the way
frosty
did you know that's what speedruns are
in like every single game ever
(there are rare exceptions ig)
and whether it's skill based or not is kinda irrelevant tbh, the important part is that it isn't rng based
fundamentally if what is being competed for isn't best execution it's best execution + rng
THEY ARE IN THE TREES
sadly a huge amount of speedruns are rng based
solo gtfo just makes every little thing count twice as much
so it feels insane
no?
sorry, all speedruns that are run by more than 10 people total
no doubt rng matters less in duo/4man
You mean like cuphead, alien isolation, hollow knight, lethal company, hades, subnautica, stardew valley etc etc?
since when is cuphead rng based
the rest of the games maybe idk but hollow knight seems to be like 0 rng at least from an outside perspective (i've never played it)
my point is that every game either is optimising exact execution to save ms or is on its way there
and making that ms execution grind rng dependent makes everything suck more for everyone who is trying to optimise shit
Have you⦠not seen cuphead speedruns?
they are super hard and rng
this is unironically quite rare
Mario is one thats hyper optimized by ms
speedruns specifcially can make the funniest things rng
Like alien isolation and face hugger tricks/kills
Id recommend tomatoanus video on it
Its a great watch and shows how fucked it is (honest recommendation)
ig i can watch it later before i go to bed
im bad at communication
either it's ms optimisation or it is rng, the latter of which eventually becomes the former once enough grinding has happened
yea generally i can agree with that
Gtfo has 1 skill focused level
Which is the tutorial
where the top time is counted in milliseconds
4:06.~7
its actually longer than a few levels in a full stack
but theres only absolute marginal rng
That being enemy orientation, movement once awoken and ressource locker distribution (which doesnt rly matter)
i see
Who has death speedrun wr?
I know you've attempted but who has the fastest millisecond

also most games have multiple categories
seeded and unseeded
but games where rng is set dont need both
I need to see if any level has a logless run
Just browsing. Everyone I've seen had logs used.
Ellda i think? idk check leaderboards
At least on speedrun.com it's Eva unironically.
Ah wait
That's for a striker
Omg Clownlace ia back
Seeing that Eva did a Shooter death speedrun is hilarious
Could someone explain how the LFG system works? I tried looking for information about it in the welcome and info section and there was nothing there
oh, nvm, I'm dumb, theres a how to matchmake chanel in looking for group
#how-to-matchmake
Essentially, make a lobby, make a vc, follow the format in the #how-to-matchmake channel and vola
.t lfg
Hello! If you are unaware, we have Looking For Group (LFG) channels to help users group up and play the game. They are located here: #lfg-north-america / #lfg-latin-america / #lfg-eastern-europe / #lfg-western-europe / #lfg-asia / #lfg-oceania / #lfg-africa / #lfg-beginners / #lfg-middle-east.
If you are unsure of how to create or join a lobby, please see the instructions here: #how-to-matchmake.

if you foam an enemy will it wake up after? curious cuz it turned red on bio...
No
Only if You touch it/damage it
if you dont touch it should it stay white or red on bio
Only enemies that move/wake up turn red
so that means it was touched if it turned red after foaming?
mm ok interesting
^
WRONG
BAD AT THE GAME
True
ty!
No1 arguments are won this way
ah yes i remember watching a lil bit of those
pray that face huggers align so u can kill them with 1 shotgun shell
or get fked
...that's quite the nickname.
Fun fact, for AGDQ they had to rename him to TomatoAngus
Ellda (mines)
He's cracked
I always get Edhellas and Ellda confused
Ellda is the cool one
i know (of) multiple elldas
There are multiple Goats as well. Though all the other Goat named players seem to have left / stopped playing gtfo

Only one true Goat left π
Can you c foam a mother with the gun? I have only seen it done with grenades
My team is on r3d1 and the constant alarm ends with spawning a mother
I just wanted to know if we could c foam the stairs up to us and she would get stuck on the way
yes
1 and a half charges needed
unless you stack blobs
Thank you guys
You could try it but she wwould need to run ovver them first
It's better to use a grenade, if you wwill find one keep one
Actually keep twwo for the finale
i dont recommend doing that
moms dont usually push you and dont spawn babies unless they have line of sight
deal with the enemies first and push her, some people can take care of the babies while the other run at her
I recommend hel shotgun for babies for example
Or a machinegun or different shotguns
If you havve issues wwith babies
someone with scatter or BC can take the mother with no problem
Its rly not worth it tho
she might not rush up for a while (and theres gonna be other enemies coming up still)
do you know how to deal with a mom?
aka 1 or 2 guys clear babies with applicable guns and then 1 other scattergun goes pew pew
Yes scatter is generally the best for mini-bosses
scatter is always the best unless ||kraken ||
Scatter? I prefer Soul Sniper π
If we push her then we have to fight blind in that infection room
We've wiped on mom twice after dealing with the alarm
You can wwait on top of the stairs in the HSU room, walk back towwards the room (make sure you have no Los) and she should come onto the stairs
Solo trials mentioned
And pretty much a lot of other mods
Then just run and kill her
fog repellers
- bio tracker shows where she is
Visitor actually 
tank the infection
Damn I'm washed
i like to do that
i guess they are more worried about the visibility and not the infection
biotrackeeeeeeer
only og weapons allowed
I mean if you get 100% infection you wwill die from a baby
AR and shotgun
There is a disinfection station though so it shouldn't happen
smg π
if you stay in the fog for 5 minutes maybe
unless you are already at like 60% before going into the fog you should be okay for the most part
There's the station
Yeah most of us are on low enough health getting there that the infection doesn't matter
Machine pistol?
why machine pistol 
hel pp 
Cause we have put 4 hours into runs and I'm trying stuff out. It works decently well
well
I'm the runner that needs to open doors and sprint into rooms
then especially machine pp isnt that great
tbh all full auto mains are pretty weak (hel pp kinda being an exception due to its stagger focus + pen)
Sniper is a good choice 
Normally I like the base pistol or hel revolver
But I need a bit more ammo
what?
Chances are you are net losing ammo on MP.
r3d1 has so much ammo
^
also what ray said
machine pp is only efficient in theory
you will just not get that ammo effectively
If you just need something you can unload on things
hel revo even without pen is most likely more efficient
probably sawed-off is better
I am a big fan of the sawed off
the "probably" unironically gets me ray xD
if you're scared of fighting mom in the fog just have everyone stand at the back of the neonate room and she'll walk up the stairs
it might take a minute (or 5) but yea
learning how to deal with the mom in the fog is good tho
ye
disinfecting and medding up before and rushing mom even without foggies is fine, you'll likely take chip negating any loss from infection anyways
Where is a good spot to pull the charger room to afterwards?
Cause we burst cannoned the charger scout and got overwhelmed trying to hold the room entrance
and even if you just go to 20% theres an overflow of ressources in the level
you can hold the enemies coming on the staircase, you can fall back further down the small hallway, you can fall back even further yadda yadda
Makes sense
depending on what weapons you have it can be easier or harder
holding that room with say arbalists and sniper is gonna be rough
you said you had burst cannon so it'll be fine
it will always be fine
but imagine if burst cannon + 3 arbalists
or burst cannon and revolvers

i don't have to imagine i pubbed r3d1 me holding burst cannon and everyone else holding mg (one guy was holding revo but revo also sucks for that room)
that holding worked fine
Thanks for the help
Also a fan of your speedrun videos, that stuff is cool
Have a great day
(given rayalot mg play might be cracked)
Fellas the cheese strats are crazy today
thats what I mean
if you are good enough any gun will do
zed ive done 4 snipers + melee only
and revo only
both full clearing the rooms (no tools for either)
ye ive seen the videos
but if you are struggling on the level it will make a noticeable difference
like people dying on r1c1 can clear with hel rifle over some weak gun they dont perform well on
We had choke and HCP
They just... idk what they were doing.
oh in previous attempt they had revo and mg
also ty for r5e1 clear it was a very humbling experience
maybe weapon restriction is why i felt not very helpful but idk there's a long way to go still (positive motivation)
HAR is very bad for it, low ammo pool and doesn't super fulfill any roles besides baby clear and being nice on surge.
We'd done it previously trying to go fast-ish, but we had slug+short rifle instead.
(our MG was choke, also)
maybe should've taken pr instead i just wanted something that deals damage even at cost of shit ammo
SR genuinely goes hard, having someone that can clear error wave efficiently is quite nice.
I'm not sure how to feel about PR there tbh, it felt really nice when we went fast, but there's a lot of time I spend not doing things because PR is expensive to shoot.
what do you even shoot with pr?
tank mom and small?
base damage per refill kinda low so throwing it into chargers/bigs seems bad
If I need to kill a hybrid w/out chill, or we're fighting a mix of giants and hybrids, otherwise yeah it's just mom/tank that it's for.
But it's also just a wave clear gun that I can shoot at bosses.
If you ban Scatter/BC, it genuinely has pretty high burst.
it has decent breakpoints too, 3 shot on hybrid is good
Oh yeah, I guess it does answer hybrids half-well.
it's equivalent to 2 burst with bc in terms of ammo efficiency
Can someone explain to me how the Fog Mechanic works in R4B2? When my team played it and we were doing the overload, all of the rooms were so foggy we couldn't see anything despite us plugging in 3 cells into the generator cluster since the wiki said plugging a cell lowered the fog... which didnt happen for us
dont plug the cells till youre ready to go
the main will be foggy asf but youll save yourself from the overload fog
Fog "lowers" with each cell inserted
2nd cell, iirc, flips the fog so that instead of being above you and extending upwards infinitely, it is below you and extends downwards infinitely.
Overload is in at a low elevation, so if you flip the fog that entire objective is fucked
It's best to insert no cells at all.
^^ you "lower" the fog from the top to the bottom
so yeah, lower it and overload is foggy
You CAN still complete it though you'll probably run into some surprises along the way
Killing the error usually is fine enough
ngl we probably couldve just run 2 choke mods 2 snipers
Whereβs the fun in that
jish i am having a stroke trying to read the second half of this message
it's worse than buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo
is that supposed to be whistle
yes
If you ask nicely I can maybe give you guidance and teach you the ways
is it important to find people to play with, or is playing with bots fine?
Define 'fine'
If fine is a generally pleasing experience, that generally holds up for the earlier levels
They aren't stupidly op like pd2 bots, and their logic and bugs break your hopes and dreams sometimes
But they can work
not for certain levels
If you dislike playing with others just play the levels with bots for as long as you can and when you hit a wall lfg
ight
many thank to you
Are you trying to parody that one song?

Do knife's bonus back stab charge mults scale with partial charges? or is it all or nothing type thing?
i believe it is static and does not scale with charging
Back multi only depends on the angle
not the knifes bonus backstab multi
it's always 1.7x
(for the 180 degrees for which it applies)
oh nvm it does scale
(with charge)
So like if i charge up 50% it would increase the back mult by 1.35?
if im reading wiki correctly it scales cubically
https://www.desmos.com/calculator/xoqiwm74ow
like this as i understand it
(y is back multi, x is charge in fraction, 0 being nothing at 1 being full)
alright thank you
both the precision and sleeping multipliers scale the same way (just replace the 1.7 with 1.5 in the desmos and you get their scaling graphs)
My squad encountered a glitch during an alarm where the c foam and turrets were going through a closed door while enemies where beating it down
And so we could not re-c-foam it for the alarm
Any idea what causes this and how to prevent it from happening again?
Ty
Bro this is the only thing I read and the first thing I thought of was Variscite because my team had like 9 attempts on that level before we got our first win. Probably 5 or 6 attempts before we figure out how the fog actually works pertaining to the Overload.
For the Controlled response achievement, am I able to use a sentry or is it just my pistol/revolvers?
Complete any B-tier expedition alone with only pistols or revolvers equipped as main and secondary.
You can use any tool
As long as you have only pistols/revolvers, you can use any other equipment
personally recommend R1B1 for it
you only need to do 1 class II alarm
But if you want to go with another level, go for it
R6B1 is a fun one
Yeah
2 class 4βs with good funnels and a class V with a split
difficult but fun
(For newer soloists)
What about for the achievement for the A tier. Can I use tool for that one?
Complete any a-tier expedition without using main or secondary weapon
I donβt remember but as long as it doesnβt specify no tool, probably
alr alr
@tardy ingot
can we get a nighterlev guide for this
what level would you reecomend? Im doing it solo
No idea, i never got that achievement legit
modded broke and gave it to me
so i never tried
oh okay
but probably R7A1
has some cfoam nades iirc
And is like the easiest level
also i think it has melee syringes for big guys
Okay ill try it
i would recommend not doing it solo
bots dont work sadly since they... shoot
the issue with solo is that you probably would need to cfoam cheese alarms, long kite or go MEGA ham with knife
oh
Yeah unfortunately
oh yeah i forgot that part
i feel like running knife might fail just because a giant shows up and it's just over
forced kiting or something
at the same time running hammer is doomed during alarms because stamina will run out immediately
I just shot my gun instinctively π
What about the bat? Or is stamina the same problem?
less of a problem, but it really doesn't do well enough against giants to make a difference
Just get good π
you rly just dont solo melee alarms unless you kite
and at that point
why even bother
when i did some r8a1 solos i full meleed the class 2 a couple of times
though that alarm is kinda special because you finish scans before first enemy shows up ig
i might try r8a1 knife only seems like it could be fun
THEY ARE IN THE TREES
so true
Giants on treesπ
itβs more likely than you think
It became russian speedrun joke after one runner claimed that there's a giant but no one could find it
Ptsd is real
Tgb even posted a suggestion for bbcs on trees on modded
British Broadcasting Company's good?
Somewhat
it went ok and then i got hit with a giant at extraction
went long and got hit by another giant running up stairs and died
it's ok we gamble and go again
i love gambling
gtfo
why do enemies on r1b1 go through the door below
is it cuz they dont see the elevation change as see it as closer
I think he does mean the class 3
the answer is no one fucking knows because the pathing is super scuffed
enemies can and will path through extra rooms to get to you sometimes
i never seen that happen
in fact ive have enemies leave the room im in to path through a different room to enter again through a different door
It is physically closest to the entrance to the room
There's like a small gap I think they think is passable
I'll try to draw it out, give me a sec I'll grab the map...
Like, if you draw a straight line between the zone door and the metal door
The lower door is way closer
no i know which one but they cant go through it
only players
so it is what i thought
thank uuuu
god gamer
whats the general ranking of hardest missions? like, the top ten
R8E2, R4E1/R5E1, R7E1, R5D1, R2E1, R4C3, R5C2, R8D2
tracks that the E missions are on the upper end
ngl r5d1 isnt hard its just long
I didnt made the tier list
Tru made it i believe
Its somewhere in media i just saved the image
Nah it's not
above r2e1 is crazy
Just boring af
long missions are a different kind of difficult
Difficult at staying awake
And also wasting a lot of time when wiping
That can be painful
Sometimes i feel R4/R5 throw so much shit for no reason
So instead of being difficult fun it becomes difficult annoying
tbh glad to see that R4C3 is on the list bc oh my god did we struggle for prisoner efficiency
good to know it was not us being bad, its just genuinely difficult
deserved
only the first rows really, and there's exceptions with some being actually kinda fun like a2 cuz funni
the C D and E tiers are pretty fine
It's perhaps the hardest C in the game
i love that random mom in R4C2. truly one of the why not? moments
At least she was sleeping in the room (R4D1 and R5A2 flashbacks)
R4D1 and R4E1 are really fun so yeah in that i agree
in r5
And R5E1 is only one i find fun really :b
u goof
take that back
One day, one day youβll learn to appreciate sleep you toddler
I feel like a dehydrated man watching a man drown to death
lol why are you talking about me here
LMAO RAY
jish
in an r4e1 recently
What up Beth
i limb broke a giant and immediately tabbed out to respond to ray with "ye"
while staying in melee range of giant
giant tabbed out too
That is going in the style guide
NOOOOO that makes me a style player
Beth I think it is time to make a style guide
Now that you taught players to shoot
It is now time to teach them to throw
That's Chill's burden
Just like the stealth guide is my burden
And the Scatter guide is your burden
I eated it
Iβll make the alt tab guide
Best places to tab out
at security doors, after clearing a wave, after checking bio
During enemy scream
During stealth scans while the rest of your team does it for you
A classic
I still dont understand the point of stealth scans ngl xd
like r5c1 is the only lvl i can think of where i wouldnt just shoot regardless (and even then if its pubs good chance someone wakes up the room anyways)
to give players the option to avoid killing
this wasnt actually too bad in some cases when you encountered the level in the rundowns order
see R5C1, R5E1
R6C1
and then theres litteraly stupid stealth scans
like R4E1 or R8E2
I think there's room if you're swinging melee and know it will hit
You can tab out while you wait for the swing to connect
fair enuf about r5e1, but wasnt r6c1 stealth scan the scout room? maybe im just 2 used 2 killing scouts but i feel like its not needed there
just tab in, 1 tap the scout, tab out while enemy is screaming/winding up 2 hit you
profit
5 scout room yes
for beginners going into r6c1 it was a good thing to have stealth scans. but they also had the option to foam them with the lots of cfoam grenades available
Or pull and shoot them
The R6C1 stealth scan is perfect, my beginner group sent one person to stealth past the scouts and we were horrified when those green circles popped up
Exactly what it should do
yup
It's effective against hordes of enemies
Or medium size groups
And if You use it against single enemies then make sure to be really close
Its not like its bad against singulars
Eva
but yea short range
For mother it would be to kill the babies
Sawed off is way better against the mom
You can use Hel shotgun against the mom but i think it's way better and more safer for You to take care of the babies and then your team of the mom
counterpoint: hel shotgun bad
i'm curious on how the limb breaks and stuff works on the animations
is it like it swaps model when u deal enough damage, or is it that the mode just has "breakable" parts that disappear when you deal the damage?
like if u remove the upper off a striker, does it change model or is it the same but making the part disappear
idk about it but when giant shadow limb break if look it with thermal sight that bodypart completely disappear including legs.it look like it floating
yeah, thats cuz only the skin is like textured so if u see it with the light it also just looks like it has nothing
so with the thermal they probs thought to not change it anyway cuz why bother
or maybe its to make the same effect as the normal light idk
so im prolly going to put this in tech support but is R2D1 just currently impossible?
after putting in the 3rd cell the game simply breaks completely; audio stops working, interacting with a terminal results in a softlock, and the game will simply crash if you idle for two long
anyone else having this issue?
just to double check, this has happened exactly as you put in the 3rd cell at least 2 times?
r2d1 is definitely clearable in current game version (i and many, many more have done it) so it has to be some weird bug or local issue
ill verify game files rq just incase
(also was the game restarted between the occurrences?)
yes
oh no
thats... odd, its best if you put follow the instructions and put the logs in #1049599987878723635 yea
on second though this sounds like host is crashing and host migration is failing?
yes
i am the host
and my game would crash
interestingly, rejoining resets the fog
how long into the run until those issues come up?
but the second instance resulted in a failure of host migration
about an hour or 2
im running a duo so we cant clear fast
yeaaa..
so the issue with this level (and a few minor others) is that if you take too long the spitters stark breaking stuff
this can lead to an audio bug which at some point will freeze your game and then crash it
the way to not get that is to play faster, the longer you take the more likely it happens
the other way
is to get a mod that disables that
there is a mod that does just that (muting spitters and cocoons)
with that mod you should have no more issues
isn't this hardware dependend
oh i forgot spitters exist in r2d1
and does this reset on new elevator drop or game restart
so spitters cause this bug on all levels i assume
yeah but the severity is higher on r2d1 because it contains more spitters than anything else in the game by far
that was my next question
does the quantity of spitters cause this issue
This is a memory leak related to spitters, has no relation to cell plugs but rather time spent in level.
ive only rly personally encountered the bug on r2b4 and r8e2 other than r2d1
once for the first and twice for the 2nd
Opening map causes the freeze/crash
lvls that have them yes, there is also something else that can cause this bug but you wont have to worry about it till r5 assuming your doing lvls in order
it also happens without map opening btw
map opening just makes it happen earlier and at some point everytime
Fresh boot helps, but otherwise you just have to close anything besides GTFO and pray.
Isn't there a mod that helps w/ this, btw?
thank yall tho this helps a lot
Or does it not work for spitters?
yes
ive already said that above
there is ya
kk
muting spitter and cocoon audio
