game stores them somewhere?

prime musk
#

all the logs are saved

hard nexus
#

where

prime musk
#

[user] -> appdata -> locallow -> 10 chambers collective -> gtfo

burnt inlet
#

No. (They get stuck everywhere) @knotty relic

knotty relic
#

Wut?

#

What gets stuck?

burnt inlet
#

Bots

burnt inlet
#

Cuz the media slow mode I went here

#

Cba to wait 5 mins

knotty relic
#

Ah.

#

That makes sense

#

Why are you doing it, then (bot solo runs)?

burnt inlet
#

Uhm

#

None of my friends have the game

#

And I uhh

#

I think matchmaking when it’s only coop and with such small amounts of people is uhhh

#

Not scary

#

But I’m also not social enough for it I think

#

And I also think that I’d just mess it up

grizzled widget
burnt inlet
#

Yep

grizzled widget
#

Must really want you dead..

knotty relic
#

80% of playtime in this game is messing up and losing.

burnt inlet
grizzled widget
#

Either that, or it thinks you can just take it slow enough to not need to commit the extra resources

knotty relic
#

Unless you’re absolutely goated like Rayalot. He’s totally never lost lost a match (kidding)

burnt inlet
#

Honestly it’s just Swedish stuff, we ain’t that social

burnt inlet
#

One day

#

Just not today

#

Or this week

#

Or next

Anyways the warden wants me to solo so I’ll solo most of the time

dont see 9th march log

#

warden usually doesn't let the failures live... as per the rundown screen intercepted transmissions

burnt inlet
prime musk
#

i believe it is utc+0 time

hard nexus
#

i dont believe it matters

#

i only have two 2025 logs none of them are of march

grizzled widget
prime musk
#

ok if you run modded the logs aren't going to be created

hard nexus
#

gg

burnt inlet
prime musk
#

but if you run modded that's on you

hard nexus
hard nexus
#

yes

grizzled widget
#

that's whack. doesn't it auto-drop?

hard nexus
#

thats the thing

burnt inlet
hard nexus
#

every time u press matchmake you have a chance to spawn in hsu

#

but you are technically still in a multiplayer lobby

#

once everyone readies up it autodrops everyone in eval

#

some may dc

#

some may not get released from the drop and go back up

grizzled widget
#

that'd be the funniest shit to see in-game

burnt inlet
#

Warden was like

hard nexus
#

thats what happened to me, but eventually itt dropped me off

burnt inlet
#

”Nuh uh this one’s mine”

grizzled widget

”This one’s spared”

and be confused af

”Nuh uh uh ur not escaping from me”

#

i have screenshots of the tutorial bug on feb 24 2024

#

have the logs

burnt inlet
#

Shit I mean the warden was like ”these guys need some help ig”

hard nexus
#

wait @prime musk

#

ok done

hard nexus
prime musk
#

i don't know, iirc it's the bepinex gtfo pack that removes the log creation

#

(at least for r2mod)

hard nexus
#

why does it do that tho

prime musk
#

no clue

civic wave
#

i think ive always had the game create logs still when I'm playing pubs with my mods

#

in fact i know it does because i pubbed yesterday and was checking logs for key

prime musk
#

it creates them but immediately deletes them when game closes instead of keeping them i think?

Hey so just discovered this game and it looks awesome, really dig the vibe so considering picking it up in the steam sale atm. However, I know this is a few years old and is very coop dependant. I've seen a few posts that indicate the game is "dead" and devs have lost interest or the community is dying and requires friends, especialy as missions take hours to complete. I assume this is just exaggerations or people just moaning as there seems to be fair amount of activity in this discord but I thought this might be the best case to clear that up - is there any truth in this? Is the game dying?

fathom ice
#

it's pretty far from dying

errant dome
strong vapor
frail heart
#

The people who say the game is dying are probably coping that they have no friends

verbal monolith
#

thanks guys! yeah I assumed that was the case 😄 I'm going to pick it up then!

hardy grotto
# verbal monolith Hey so just discovered this game and it looks awesome, really dig the vibe so co...

Devs have abandoned the game pretty much so there’s gonna be no more updates

When it comes to recommending the game I think you should only pick it up if you are fine with pubbing it, which there’s a lot of ppl who have already beaten the game and are just playing it for fun so you won’t be getting the actual blind experience much. The other time I recommend it is if you have a full static down to play it cause then you get the true beginner experience

civic wave
#

activity isn't as high as it used to be, but there's some good flashes of it here and there - and there's generally enough players around to get together for a level

hardy grotto
#

Some levels are gonna be rough to fill I think but mostly it’ll be fine

How often people come with "my friends bought the game but quitted after 3 runs"

frail heart

i more meant the people who say the game is dying probably had their friends quit after 20 hours

#

and are salty

My friends quit on r1c1. I'll show them...

show them copypasta

burnt inlet
#

quitting right before diamonds

flat oar
#

99% GTFO players quit before hitting big

frail heart
#

99% of GTFO players quit before getting a double hit

burnt inlet
#

i still remember my first

long nimbus
#

What is a double hit? 2 kills with 1 spear swing?

ionic leaf
#

How is that possible

burnt inlet
frail heart
long nimbus
#

The spears hitbox lingers in the center of the screen. By moving the camera, sometimes you can hit two enemies.

This used to be a big feature of the spear but it was nerfed/removed. It still happens sometimes

#

You can do it with the other ones?

burnt inlet
frail heart
#

im not talking about spear double

ionic leaf
frail heart
#

im talking about the actually double

#

where you use the hitbox of the weapon

#

to hit multiple enemies on the sameish frame

burnt inlet
#

i used to line enemies up when running spear and that worked for double kills

hollow lynx
#

Is sledge and spear equal in terms of usability or is the spear just better?

burnt inlet
#

hammer is better

#

spear got range which is why many early users pick it, hammer you can run with

tardy ingot
hollow lynx
#

I see, very useful information. I was split between sledge and spear so this made up my mind. Appreciate it lads

frail heart
#

Huge

burnt inlet
hollow lynx
frail heart
#

it feel good because of the range and its a poking motion rather than a swing

burnt inlet
#

i believe hammer is the best for new people, knoife has a high skill ceiling and bat is also decent

frail heart
#

its easier to use sure, but shit compared to hammer

#

i forced myself to learn hammer when i started out

frail heart
#

you really only see it in some niche speeds

burnt inlet
#

oh ok

frail heart
#

but spear is just the worst

long nimbus
#

Spear keeps it's hit box right in the middle of the screen, it's hit box lingers, it's got incredible range. You can easily stealth bigs solo with it.

But. It's so slow. If you miss the head you don't even kill plebs in one hit. You can't run with it as fast. When you actually have to move quickly, having a spear is so limiting.

frail heart
#

and realistically anything spear can do, hammer can do as well, its just harder

long nimbus
#

Spear outranges big arms

#

That's basically it.

frail heart
burnt inlet
#

couldnt u stagger two giants with a bat or sum like that but its really hard?

frail heart
#

but like

#

stagger animation rng is actually a thing

burnt inlet
#

hard nexus

game was dead, now seems ok

hard nexus
#

whether you should or not thats another question

tardy ingot
burnt inlet
tardy ingot

hammer can get very quick at taking out smalls aswell

#

and hammer can basically do everything

so you can learn to do everything

at least spear can deal with a charger

"yo how can i oneshot these spiky guys"
check map
guy has knife
"you cant"

grizzled widget
#

The role of the knife is to be that one guy on cocaine sprinting through sleeping zones "stealthing".

burnt inlet
#

spiff quote?

grizzled widget
#

No clue who that is

hard nexus

its to be that one guy with perfect boosters and hieroglyphs in username one shotting everything

burnt inlet

#

you kill chargers with a full backstab into any swing

#

but no one shot

hard nexus
#

oic

tardy ingot
#

which doesnt matter
its a quick kill

civic wave
#

but the increased long range aggro from hitting/killing a sleeping enemy...

tardy ingot
#

increased?

burnt inlet
#

eva do you have a tutorial for how to stamina cancel?

tardy ingot
#

stamina cancel?

hard nexus
#

downpatch the game no stamina

civic wave
#

isn't there a chance for it upon hitting an awake enemy that was being discussed a few months back but nobody really understood?

frail heart
tardy ingot
civic wave
#

ya probably, i may be misremembering

tardy ingot
#

but like, you probably either have the others sleeping (crouching behind charger) anyway since you need a sleeping hit

burnt inlet
long nimbus
#

Are licks considered projectile or melee?

frail heart
#

you just crouch and uncrouch while sprinting

fathom ice
#

licks are melee

burnt inlet
#

is that it to move quicker?

rapid warren
#

lick 👅

fathom ice
#

u save stam

frail heart
burnt inlet
#

what i meant cuz long run you move quicker

fathom ice
#

ig

long nimbus
#

Crouch Sliding keeps your sprint momentum more than letting go of shift and walking

frail heart
long nimbus
#

Walking doesn't consume stamina either? I assume it's the momentum

frail heart
#

yes you stay at full sprint speed while sliding

#

so you slide for like 0.2 seconds then uncrouch

#

you lose no speed but save a small bit of stamina

long nimbus
#

Okay. So you were agreeing with me?

frail heart
#

i dont get where walking comes into this

rapid warren
#

bro starts slide walking

#

get that boogie up

long nimbus
frail heart
#

but like you would walk to reset stamina not preserve it

long nimbus
#

Yes

burnt inlet
#

thats correct right?

frail heart
#

you're sliding for too long

burnt inlet
#

is it just like crouch immediately shift (sprint button)

frail heart
#

you dont want to be letting go of shift to press it again

burnt inlet
#

yea it is wayyyyy to long

frail heart
#

you just uncrouch with the crouch bind

burnt inlet
frail heart
#

yeah you just lose more time than you gain

burnt inlet
frail heart
#

yeah i had to bind crouch to c

burnt inlet

i might do it to one of my mouse buttons

Wuuuuuuuuuuut

ocean spindle
#

nevermind

#

im wrong

#

i checked the wiki

tardy ingot
#

you can see this with us doing lots of no charge hits when running somewhere sometimes in speedrunds (check recent r1b2 at the start for it)

ocean spindle
knotty relic
#

I must always be charge hitting while attacking small waves then.

ocean spindle
#

i mean cuz its the best

#

even a tiny amount of charge for the occi of a striker is a instakill

burnt inlet
#

#

Found my source

ocean spindle
#

for shooters might not matter but for strikers it does

#

here my source

#

[[Melee]]

gray rapidsBOT
tardy ingot
#

but in normal gameplay you just charge

#

its simply better

burnt inlet
#

Anyways I may be swinging around but I’d do nothing, nothing to decrease my stamina whilst just running

ocean spindle
#

what

#

huh?

#

smh eva melee booster???

burnt inlet

Anyways I love how Eva and co all just run towards doors fully charged melee and just break it down, looks so silly

oh

burnt inlet
#

Boosters isn’t allowed in speedrunning right?

tardy ingot
#

Ye

#

Adds incredible rng and a need to farm/„cheat“them

knotty relic
#

Boosters add rng?

#

Like they can change how things spawn in the level?

ocean spindle
#

no, but they add rng as in what % u get

#

or what u even get, like main dmg special dmg etc etc

#

like rng for example on getting enough to get 100% infect resist

knotty relic
#

Ahh

safe cradle
#

There should exist a mod that randomly assigns crazy fucked up boosters to players and then you need to deal with stuff like -80% melee damage but +150% med efficiency.

knotty relic
#

That's mad

#

Get good at game, need new challenge, add random boosters mod.

#

Sounds like a meme fest.

tardy ingot
# knotty relic Boosters add rng?

You can get worthless boosters for speeds so those dont matter

You can get weaker versions

And after ~20 attempts you gotta refarm. It would suck balls

knotty relic
#

That's... pretty true.

#

I have a lot of boosters that aren't great, and farming boosters is okay I guess but the odds of getting something actually useful are incredibly low since it's completely randomized.

#

I see what you're saying.

do you guys usually move little when in alarms?

be it bots or friends

Tell your teammates to do that as well

Or blast them if neccesary

good luck lol, could try to stand behind them

#

was OG rundowns harder than ALT?

hasty crane
#

In R8E2 I saw during a Speedrun that you can end one of the alarms early by teleporting to Brazil using the red security circles in the secondary.
Is dealing with that wave easier than the alarm or just done because it's faster?

carmine grotto
digital mural
past mesa
#

It is much harder than a normal clear mainly because you end up stacking waves and those enemies will come find you later

hasty crane
#

I see
So for a normal run you wouldn't recommend trying it

past mesa
#

After reactor yeah

#

if you want to have fun

#

It is a nice route

#

If you want a clear it isn’t easier

#

Unless you can just deal with a up to 3 tank whenever

hasty crane
#

Probably not lol
Thanks for the info

tardy ingot
#

ay jish

#

we are potentially 1 good R6D1 cycle skip run away from a sub 3 hour R6

knotty relic
# crystal pilot can you dodge whilst crouched?

No. Crouching is too slow to dodge shootter shots. They'll catch you. If you see a shooter shoot at you. Watch the projectile's movement and stand up and walk out of the way. It's much faster and safer.

digital mural
#

Tank the shooter projectiles

past mesa
#

But you mean

#

One run

#

Or sum of best

hasty crane
#

Also does shaking your camera actually help dodge shooter shots
I have seen Eva do it a bunch in their Speedrun videos
Is there a method to it?

ocean spindle

did we both stopped typing

knotty relic
#

Shaking the camera?

past mesa
#

in old gtfo yes

Only the players' viewpoint?

tardy ingot
#

this isnt even remotely the worst thing that could happen lol

knotty relic
#

Optimistically to be fair to the player so they can see the round coming?

#

I don't know.

prime musk
#

this game is held together by duct tape and it's part of why we hate love it

knotty relic
#

I mean they obviously fixed that shooter tracking.

#

I have been caught in the ass sooooo many times trying to kite shooters.

civic wave
#

yeah, it existed in the game up until og r5

knotty relic
#

Can't make it very far away when you're not looking at them. Unless I suck lol

prime musk
#

shootercapping is the least common and least useful form of kiting ngl

knotty relic
#

It kinda sucks

#

When they surround you in a big room it feels impossible to out dodge max spawn cap shooters.

prime musk
#

it pretty much is without cover

tardy ingot
hasty crane
past mesa
#

we can give you info sometimes jumping in it can save the run

hasty crane
#

I am not sure what you are referring to
I know that during the first alarm you should use your c foam trip mines to keep the door closed during the full team scans

civic wave
#

i believe jish is referring to the first scan in the room that has the first reactor code

hasty crane
#

The only thing I know about that room is that you can jump on the lights and skip the broken scans

past mesa
#

You can res people in that dimension so if you have a 3 down jumping into the scan is really strong

#

the scan maintains through all reactor cycles if you plug before 2mons

hasty crane
#

Before 2mons?

Oh minutes

im not rlly 2 sure how their pathing works when ur in brazil

i think a tank was also there

#

run was prolly fked anyways

tardy ingot
#

that r6cx time was also unironically exactly where my expectations are for a good r6% run r6cx

tardy ingot
grizzled widget
#

i hate how they moved all of the r6 extension expeditions down one tier.

sturdy glen
#

I think the only levels with significant improvement are d3 and d4 in that

grizzled widget
#

makes it annoying to talk about

sturdy glen
#

we repeat a d3 wave iirc

#

and d4 has logs now

#

free time save!!

tardy ingot
#

I cant remember the times you had of the top of my head

#

ye just quick checked

had some damn good times for a few levels

D4 is def not great. But aside from that only AX, BX and D3 are outside my expectations for what should generally be in the run times (and crazy 3-4 sec time loss on r6c3 smh)

also which wave did you repeat?

sturdy glen
#

last an extra time

#

tank didnt go well

#

almost had a 3down I think

tardy ingot
#

oh damn

#

iirc theres only like 1 key that allows a 1 cycle

#

so its always a 2 cycle (unless you get a rly dogshit key and smth goes wrong)

#

actually might be 2

#

dont remember

sturdy glen
#

it became a 3

Jish was not checked in during R6D3

prime cliff
#

how do you efficiently ladder foam

#

esp the one on r2e1

sturdy glen
#

bring an auto sentry

burnt inlet
#

Chat we got an exploiter on our hands

upper ginkgo
#

crazy we don't have the cfoam ladder guide yet

sturdy glen
#

unironically auto sentry just clears

minor fractal
#

The unironic ladder foam strat is to only spend like 60% on a ladder.

#

Diminishing returns hit pretty quickly.

tiny wyvern
prime cliff
#

so foam top of ladder instead of bottom

burnt inlet
#

No the entire ladder

tiny wyvern
#

From top to bottom, aim for the top and slowly go down towards the bottom

prime musk
#

the best ladderfoam is the hel auto sentry

tiny wyvern
#

(actually aside from R2e1 is there any point in the game afterwards where ladderfoam is more efficient than sentry?)

burnt inlet
#

Chat quick question does ladder foam cause the rest of the enemies to just stand still or do they route to somewhere diff?

frail heart
tiny wyvern
#

That's why ladderfoam is really good

burnt inlet
tiny wyvern
#

no, it blocks traffic

burnt inlet
#

Im so confoosed

tiny wyvern
#

Since only one sleeper can go down the road

#

having one stuck blocks the road

frail heart
tiny wyvern
#

the blockade doesn't change how sleepers path

#

So they'll wait there

#

Forever
Until the foam goes away

#

Or they use up all the foam

burnt inlet
tiny wyvern
#

No, usually two or so
If you do it properly

burnt inlet
#

And whilst they wait the sentries pointed at their back will kill the waiting sleepers

civic wave
#

it's all psuedoscience

burnt inlet
tiny wyvern
#

To abuse spawn cap

#

of 25

burnt inlet
#

Now I get the Strat

#

And does the foam naturally go away?

civic wave
#

but yes, literally just take auto sentry for r2e1

#

it's easier and more effective

#

(something something cap fps for ladder foam)

#

burnt inlet
tiny wyvern
burnt inlet
tiny wyvern
#

foamed enemies natural break out after some time

burnt inlet
#

Aight

tiny wyvern
#

The few times I remember using ladderfoam was for a surge charger alarm on a first door somewhere

#

And R2E1 when I had to do it in pubs

burnt inlet
#

Pubs moment

tiny wyvern
#

The other times were more for fun
That and we had so much tool we just decided to faq it

burnt inlet
#

I mean running with bots it would be hard to babysit a ladder and run to scans rite? (Or are they close enough so you could run back and forth)

prime musk
#

^ this shows that you don't know what ladderfoam is or how it works

burnt inlet
#

Bru

minor fractal
#

and then just do scans

burnt inlet
#

Oh and the time for the eepers to break from the foam is quite large?

tiny wyvern
#

Depends on the ladder

minor fractal
#

It depends on system specs and is otherwise largely random.

tiny wyvern
#

Is cfoam tolerance frame based or smth

burnt inlet
#

Prolly considering someone said the fps cap thingy

minor fractal
#

A lot of enemy movement is frame based.

minor fractal
#

But the difference is much more significant if enemies are far away.

burnt inlet
#

Yea I’ve seen enemies glide across like they Jesus or sum

minor fractal
#

In R2E1 it's mostly random

#

Average ladder foam lengths is probably around a minute, minute and a half

#

But it can end up lasting much longer if you're lucky.

burnt inlet
#

I thought they broke away like after 20-30 seconds

minor fractal
#

What do you think the ladder foam is doing?

#

If you had to describe it

burnt inlet
#

Ok so Bacisly before alarm foam the ladder, when alarm is pulled the sleepers will go down the ladder one by one and if ur good at it after two have gone down they are stuck due to the foam which will make the rest of the eepers wait until those ones have been either killed or cleared the foam on them. This is so that u dont need to kill 40 waves whilst doing alarm scans and only need to kill like 25 sleepers

minor fractal
#

if ur good at it
If you are lucky.

#

How are you getting 20-30 seconds out of this?

burnt inlet
#

Im no foam user

#

So like

#

Yanno

tiny wyvern
#

R2E1 you usually get like minutes out of it if you're going overkill on it

#

1-1.5 mins

minor fractal
#

It's 8 seconds acc. to datablocks.

#

Not asking about ladder foam duration

tiny wyvern
#

It might be better if we just show you how ridiculous it is honestly

minor fractal
#

I'm asking about individual enemy foam duration, is that what you're saying?

tardy ingot
#

the enemy refoams on ladder

minor fractal
#

^

tardy ingot
#

and is stuck there

burnt inlet
minor fractal
#

If you have 1 enemy on ladder, so ideal case, and you spend 60% foam on ladder (36 blobs)

burnt inlet
#

I thought it ate up majority on the ladder and just stayed there for a bit

minor fractal
#

The enemy will foam on the ladder for 4 blobs for 8 seconds repeatedly

burnt inlet
#

Not like

#

One by one

minor fractal
#

So in the ideal case, this one enemy will refoam 9 times

#

lasting 72 seconds

#

So the ladder foam in an ideal case w/ 60% foam spent will last for over a minute.

burnt inlet
#

Ok so Bacisly how I thought (chronological order) was at first enemy foamed (lasts 20-30 seconds), then second thought was 1 min to 1.5 min and now the correct which is 8 seconds

#

Smth smth English isn’t my mother tongue smth smth im worse in Swedish actually smth smth cope

minor fractal
#

Yes, the foam duration per enemy is very short

#

But ladder foam blocks off waves of 20+ enemies by repeatedly refoaming just 1-2 enemies on a ladder, where those 1-2 enemies block off access to the ladder for the entire rest of the wave.

tardy ingot
#

and thats where the rng comes in

burnt inlet
#

Fair

sturdy glen
#

tldr, just use auto sentry

burnt inlet
#

Yep

minor fractal
#

The diminishing returns come from enemies over time getting on the ladder. Ladder foam can last an extremely long time so long as it's just 1 enemy. As soon as 4 or more enemies are getting on the ladder, they will start eating through the foam very rapidly (literally 4x the rate).

burnt inlet
#

Im not using this Strat

burnt inlet
minor fractal
#

On average, ladder foam breaks at an exponential rate.

burnt inlet
#

Knowing me it would break 25x quicker than everyone else

minor fractal
#

But it's stochastic, so it might take a very long time to accelerate, or it might break very rapidly.

burnt inlet
#

That’s another word for my vocabulary

carmine grotto

doing 7e1, we did the full room scan, the door never opened on the side, went to brazil, did the segment, came back. Door opened when we looked at terminal. Now we are in brazil again. Any hope or soft locked?

record yourself and review your gameplay afterwards, comparing to what better players do in similar situations

unborn glen
#

so the second half of R8 flips difficulty on its head, and the a mission isnt technically 'A' difficulty, right?

are the R6 X missions the same?

#

like would R6AX be considered more difficult than the average A mission

frail heart
#

Yeah

#

Move each one down a tier and that’s their difficulty

#

They actually used to be called BX, CX, and DX

#

Then it got changed in alt

unborn glen
#

thanks!

hard nexus
#

i think cx is still a dx worthy

#

ax and bx are pretty easy tho

#

but idk

#

its just the 30fps uplink fiesta that messes people up man

prime musk
#

ax bx cx all deserve their previous namings.

grizzled patrol
#

tbh i would disagree with ax and bx. they dont deserve to be B and C tier

tardy ingot
#

AX is 100% a B tier lol

#

people rly looking a AX and saying its easier than B tiers

grizzled patrol
#

idk its not hard. just very long

tardy ingot
#

its neither

#

its not super long

#

its also not „hard“

#

But its a B tier

#

compare this to any other B tier

#

Which is harder?

grizzled patrol
tardy ingot
tardy ingot
grizzled patrol
tardy ingot
#

the point is that most B tiers are easier than R6AX (or at worst somewhat similar in difficulty)

#

I can think of 3 B tiers tops (ignoring R8 2nd half as those are intended to be harder than a B) that id say are harder

grizzled patrol
#

sure you can say that secondary doesnt factor in since you can always just do main and skip it, but at that point what are you even doing there

tardy ingot
#

reminder, main only counts for these

#

also for gods sake
R6AX isnt long

thats how its handled lol

what was r7b3 main

#

i dont remember

tardy ingot
#

?

#

ah

#

1 blood door, 1 cluster alarm, respawn stealth zones
1 normal alarm
extract error (with 1 big spawned wave)

hard nexus
#

also r5b3 is harder than ax

tardy ingot
#

yea

#

R5B3 and B4

#

R8B2 main maybe

hard nexus
#

nah r8b2 is really easy

tardy ingot
#

R7B3 is the last maybe

hard nexus
#

tho idk how main is different from sec

#

never done it

tardy ingot
#

bruh

#

"never done it" - its rly easy

hard nexus
#

i mean u can only do 1

#

if sec is easy af

tardy ingot
#

you could just go back

hard nexus
#

surely main is

tardy ingot
#

also "easy af" is a garbage way to rank

#

R6D2 is easy af

#

its not the same

hard nexus
#

r6d2 IS easy af

tardy ingot
#

...

#

and you are trying to rank difficulty lol

hard nexus
#

the only difficult part in r6ax is big flyers if u dont know how to deal with em

#

i suppose first half of it also contains like a fuckton of giants

#

its basically r2b2

#

in terms of how many giants u have to clear

#

"have to"

#

idk if its me getting better at the game overtime or what but r6d2 og was harder than alt

#

like they castrated the level so much

tardy ingot
hard nexus
#

error alarm was harder

tardy ingot
#

not rly

hard nexus
#

mauybe just me then

#

also idk why but opening blood door in secondary makes it easier

#

i will die on that hill

prime musk
hard nexus
#

i never do that

#

if we wipe we wipe

#

but idk its like

#

the ai director cant decide where to spawn enemies or some shit, it feels way easier

#

or when they come out of room they cant decide who to aggro for a bit

tardy ingot
hard nexus
#

i cant recall the last time someone either

took cfoam for 6d2
had any tool by secondary

#

also they can still come from 2 ways so not really

tardy ingot
#

foam for r6d2 can make the cluster alarm and sec free

sentries work too but make sec harder

tardy ingot
#

spawnblock makes it 1

hard nexus
#

aw mate

#

u think people fucking know about spawn block

#

the only one i dont mind is if u get zone 41 shit terminal

because there is a fucking room divider within same room and they can spawn right on your ass

R1-R3, R4-R5, and R6-R8 are broad "eras" for the game. It's best to start in either R1 or R6.

You just open every box/locker when you go to a code zone

And carry big ammo yourself

burnt inlet

You kind of want to move from box to box as fast as possible

#

If you're losing consistently in a specific zone, it's probably a strat issue

burnt inlet
#

Should I just pull every room then?

past mesa
#

Yes

#

There isn’t a scary room only maybe the scout

#

In code 4

minor fractal
#

You should probably sprint and melee

#

And when room goes up, you just shoot

#

If you are looting even a single extra 2-use ammo that way, you are already making a lot of ammo back

I usually save a sentry from wave 1-4

And I set up at the left side of the bridge (closest to terminal)

minor fractal
#

Let's be more specific

glad sun
#

r3a3 took my group like 5 tries to beat the first time

minor fractal
#

How many uses of ammo do you have with you on wave 5?

glad sun
#

Didn't help we were very much noobs and was our 7th mission or something

burnt inlet
minor fractal
#

2-use?

burnt inlet
#

Yea

minor fractal
#

That's probably the problem, then.

#

You want to find a 5-use out of either code 3 or 4.

burnt inlet
#

And save it?

minor fractal
#

Generally burn low uses, hold high uses.

#

But there's like 10+ uses of ammo in both zones

burnt inlet
#

should I just let the bots refill?

minor fractal
#

y

#

If you're low going in, just let them burn 2s

burnt inlet
#

Aight

minor fractal
#

If you have enough extra, then you and a bot can hold ammo packs

burnt inlet
#

Though I find it hard to get the bots to pickup stuff like tool refill to use on each other when they already have a pack

minor fractal
#

Ideally bots will grab stuff they can burn, if you're standing close to box/locker you can burn it yourself w/ some maneuvering.

tardy ingot
minor fractal
#

The big thing is just, it sounds like you are leaving a lot of ammo in the zones

burnt inlet

And ammo is the main thing that lets you keep going
