[paper summit]

Aren't persistent alarms just constant error alarms?

[grizzled patrol]

[frail heart]

Reactors are set waves

Also surges actually spawn in very small waves of like 2-3 enemies until it reaches spawn cap

[paper summit]

Then they spawn really fast.

[frail heart]

yep

[paper summit]

😂

[cursive dragon]

In 3 or 4 player comp, what weapons/tools would be recommended?

[errant dome]

by 3 room spawns do u mean the wave spawning from 3 different rooms?

[errant dome]

depends on the lvl, but generally tool wise: you always want 1 bio tracker at least, 1 sentry (usually burst sentry cause its the best all rounder), then the other 2 tools rlly depends on the lvl

[cursive dragon]

Super new, we’re up to R1B2

Also I thought shotgun was better because if its buff with bio tracker

[errant dome]

weapon wise you usually have 1 person on boss/big kill (scattergun/burst cannon), and the rest on weapons that focus on killing small guys (basically any hel weapon, but most weapons usually work fine)

[errant dome]

its actually the opposite, shotgun sentry is bad, and gets even worse with bio buff

[grizzled patrol]

Having flex is also good, so it really depends on the strenghts of your tm8s

[errant dome]

the reason is because it shoots dead enemies, and the bio buff it goes from shooting a dead enemy once to shooting them like 3 times

[sick mauve]

for standard scout wave

"m_overrideWaveSpawnType": false,
"m_survivalWaveSpawnType": "InRelationToClosestAlivePlayer"

[cursive dragon]

Why would it do that!????

[sick mauve]

technically not changing the wave spawn type idk

[cursive dragon]

Glitch?

[grizzled patrol]

Spaghetti code

[errant dome]

well i dont fully understand the coding behind it tbh, but whether its a glitch or not unlikely 2 get fixed/changed

[flat oar]

dont say that they'll find out gtfo is bad

[errant dome]

so just go with the assumption that shotgun sentry is ass and will remain ass

[cursive dragon]

So go for burst sentry.

[errant dome]

ya, u cant rlly go wrong with burst sentry most of the time

[grizzled patrol]

The B in GTFO Stands for bad

[cursive dragon]

I’ve been using DMR and Hel gun for big guys

Aswell as spear

I <3 the spears design

[grizzled patrol]

Dmr? I See you Love tickling them

[errant dome]

hel gun is good for bigs if u can get some lineups (tho its still fine without cause of the garunteed stagger with 1 shot)

[flat oar]

good aim player huh. not a bad loadout

[errant dome]

dmr is more for smalls than bigs

dmr hel gun is pretty good loadout

[cursive dragon]

I only realy shoot for the head

No tickling

[grizzled patrol]

Yeah No, that is still tickling.

[flat oar]

for big not the best options

[grizzled patrol]

With Giants Focus on Center mass

[errant dome]

with hel gun u dont rlly wanna shoot the head (of bigs specifically, u want 2 shoot small heads ofc)

[cursive dragon]

I meant on little guys, I learned my lesson about shooting big guys in the head

[flat oar]

hel gun for head of big striker is not that worth anyway

[grizzled patrol]

DMR + Hel Auto my beloved

[cursive dragon]

I think my friend runs PDW+ Hel auto

[errant dome]

an extra 3.25 dmg

[flat oar]

take it or leave it

[cursive dragon]

PDW us lovely in that god forsaken fog

[burnt inlet]

Gtfo is bad

[errant dome]

with bio you dont need 2 rely on thermals, one of the big reasons why is so good

[cursive dragon]

Bio doesn’t say if it’s a big guy tho

But yes, pdw is like high C low B tier imo

[flat oar]

Its still good. And if you play more and more you"ll notice by heigh of ping to tell which one is giant

[cursive dragon]

Don’t get me wrong, we always use bio tracker (my beloved)

[errant dome]

not directly but assuming said big guy is awake u can usually tell by the way the ping moves

[cursive dragon]

Really?

Slower I assume?

[grizzled patrol]

More damage If you Break the shoulder

[grizzled patrol]

Idk why discord removes the reply tag

[flat oar]

picking bio is fun. i love quick swap my guns and bio like i low attention span.

[grizzled patrol]

He Bops around

[errant dome]

thats part of it, but the way the ping moves is mostly how u tell (like a bobbing motion type of deal), compared 2 most normal sleepers which either strafe or charge straight at you

[cursive dragon]

I just wish my friends were online more 😭

[errant dome]

it be like that sometimes

[native sun]

By 3 room spawn I mean spawning 3 rooms away

[errant dome]

how does that happen?

[native sun]

Ye. Only question remaining to me is how scout waves pick what their center room is for finding closest alive player. Almost certain it'll just be scout's room hence the 99% certainty.

[native sun]

TLDR: Both room distance and direction randomization just give a weighting for certain rooms. 2 rooms away has a weight of 2, 3 rooms away has a weight of 1.33. In extremely specific circumstances the direction weight can outweigh this difference.

[errant dome]

i see

its interesting how much u can manipulate if u know how it works

[crystal blaze]

I agree

Terrible game

[burnt inlet]

just the inclusion of R2D1 makes it the worst game in existance

[crystal blaze]

What did D1 ever do to you?

D2 is substantially worse

[flat oar]

untill you play r5d1

[burnt inlet]

i played it solo, unspeakable horrors

try after try

10

20

30

hours

bots

getting stuck

on last run

[crystal blaze]

C3 is so boring, I may never get to D1

[crystal blaze]

Well that’s your problem, you play solo

Invest in some friends

[burnt inlet]

yep

[burnt inlet]

friends dont have investments

[crystal blaze]

And then get stuck on D2

[burnt inlet]

i skipped to r3a3

and then to r6

[crystal blaze]

Your friends aren’t saving for retirement

[grizzled patrol]

Just wait Till you See how boring is d1

[burnt inlet]

and now im stuck on r6bx

🙃

[crystal blaze]

Average GTFO moment

No matter how good you are, you will be stuck on a level

[prime musk]

just go long and r2d1 extract is piece of cake

[burnt inlet]

im still traumatized from it

cant go back

exposure therapy doesnt work

did R2C2 after R2D1 and that was so much better alone

and R6BX came flying in like a saint

[grizzled patrol]

Out of all Levels, why BX?

[burnt inlet]

secondary is interesting with bots

i enjoy the part before secondary (by quite a lot)

the adrenaline yanno

the knowing you need to be quick

figuring out all the codes

[grizzled patrol]

Oh CX

[burnt inlet]

no BX

[grizzled patrol]

Wrong Mission kek

[burnt inlet]

that you thought of or i?

cuz i didnt

[tardy ingot]

It was called cx in og

[burnt inlet]

oh fair

[tardy ingot]

now its bx

[burnt inlet]

heard sum about that

is this a malefic fish moment?

[grizzled patrol]

But regardless, isnt the secondary Just running for the cell and then Holding Out for Like 5 minutes?

[burnt inlet]

havent gotten to cell yet

🙃

but ill grind it out

spent less hours on it than r2d1 though

[frail heart]

tbh i think secondary is somewhat difficult for beginners

[burnt inlet]

as in when i say stuck i mean ive done 3-5 tries

[frail heart]

the shadow waves are HUGE

[burnt inlet]

(dont know if that part is my problem currently)

shadows were actually the least of my problems

it was more so being overran by the second alarm

[grizzled patrol]

I guess a Position check

[burnt inlet]

and then feeling like im crawling thru code hunting part

and then the secondary first alarm is the final straw

but i like it

😄

[grizzled patrol]

Isnt there only one?

[burnt inlet]

first alarm is right after landing, second alarm is before the first code hunt part

or well

the door goes to the zone before first code hunt

[grizzled patrol]

Now i am so lost

[burnt inlet]

bruh

i meant before secondary btw

mightve wanted to include that

[grizzled patrol]

The sustelain?

[burnt inlet]

huh?

ok wait

[grizzled patrol]

Sustain*

[burnt inlet]

yk the room with pissbucket?

[grizzled patrol]

T9

[burnt inlet]

THAT zone has a door to the west with a cluster 5 alarm

[grizzled patrol]

Dont you get enough Tool Ammo to do it?

[burnt inlet]

i run one mine

and one auto

one burst

🤷‍♂️

[grizzled patrol]

Why the Auto?

I guess that would explain the running Out of res part

[burnt inlet]

eva or someone said if i have a lot of tool i could use it

and i have a decent amount of tool i believe

idk

tbf at secondary both turrets ran out

[grizzled patrol]

Even with a whole Lot of Tool it is very niche

Its good only If you Play into that niche or have a Level where Stars allign

[burnt inlet]

🤷‍♂️ only did one try with it

and im trying to figure out if its worth to switch out mines

[grizzled patrol]

Tbf i guess you do get some consumable mines before the blood door i guess

[burnt inlet]

yea

thats what i was thinking too

cuz realistically i use 5 mines total

[grizzled patrol]

But you can make the secondary much easier by Just blowing Up the waves with a mine

[burnt inlet]

fairs

tech i did not realize

i think its also just i need to get better in general

and not be held back by hacket standing still whilst bio scanning

[worthy sandal]

Why no shotgun sentry

[burnt inlet]

lol eva loves shotgun sentry trust, its just the fact that i cant use it

[burnt inlet]

actually i thought of smth, i should create a map of all the doors im gonna mine for it, i think that might be a good idea

spemdrummer

also i generally suck at speedrunning games so

[dusty basalt]

Are there any maps with a lot of easy access enemies, weak and heavy? I wanna test all the guns in a solo lobby, haven't used most of them.

Just a map that's good for testing stuff.

[minor fractal]

R3D1

[dusty basalt]

I'll try it

[visual dome]

If you don't care about boss enemies, r2b2 is good for killing giants first zone

Most of the sleeping ones are giants

[dusty basalt]

Thanks

[cursive dragon]

Is the Raptus Steigro actually any good?
Can’t cay my experiences have been ‘glowing’

[flat oar]

hel auto pistol? its the GOAT of stagger niche pick

[proud socket]

anyone know r8a2's code?

[digital mural]

Guns have a common name

Raptus steigro is the manufacturer name
And theres a couple of Raptus, same with buckland, malatack, drekker etc

Most of people know the weapons with their common names

But yeah hel auto pistol is a good pick

[grizzled patrol]

Auto Shotgun sentry

[burnt inlet]

Isn’t the Bofors 155 mm vagnkanon L/50 such a great weapon 🙃

[grizzled patrol]

People Generally dislike it for Being a "lose slower" gun. When you are getting overrun and your entire objective is to survive its a great pick

[digital mural]

If You are running Hel pistol you arent expected to kill things

[cursive dragon]

So for final stand type moments it’s great, while general use is mediocre.

[digital mural]

You are expected to hold enemies back for your team to deal with

I usually pair hel pistol with combat shotgun or normal shotgun

Since i spend most of the time in front of the Wave

[halcyon current]

Jokes on you buddy, I'm autistic enough to know which gun that is

[cursive dragon]

Thank you, I understand now.

[burnt inlet]

My fav Swedish piece🙃

[digital mural]

Its still an A+ tier pick because of it's potential

Really cool gun

[halcyon current]

I like Hel PP assuming your friends can utilize its stagger

[sick mauve]

the nice thing about pierce is that even if you shoot your teammates it might still hit an enemy

[cursive dragon]

I feel like having a Hel AP up front with a Dmr or similar behind us a decent strategy.

[grizzled patrol]

Ngl stopping a rushing BBC with Hel PP is incredibly satisfying

[halcyon current]

It's kinda funny

[wild flare]

Hel pp is king for support staggers

[ocean spindle]

u can always check it over at https://andocas.com/gtfo/r8a2/

[burnt inlet]

Isn’t A2A the one with the password 24/7

[digital mural]

does he know?

[burnt inlet]

Is in ur username

[ocean spindle]

he doesn't kno

[burnt inlet]

They’re the one that updates website?

It’s sum like that

(I’m coping)

[ocean spindle]

pablo's password is the password for like 2 years in the future

[digital mural]

25*

[ocean spindle]

same thing

kinda

[burnt inlet]

😭🙏

Is it just a meme to tell other people to do it themselves

(Yes im assuming)

[dusty basalt]

Yeah, I think I'll stick with DMR/ Double Tap/ Carbine. Special, still like hel rifle the most; scatter + sniper good slightly conditionally. I think I do like the Techman Veruta XII, glad I tested it.

[burnt inlet]

Yippie I made my first correct assumption

[digital mural]

wrong

[burnt inlet]

Damn

Two more to the score

[dusty basalt]

I used to main with high cal before I used hel rifle. Isn't hel rifle like the same gun as the high cal, but with piercing?

[ocean spindle]

sort of yes
just has a bigger zoom scope and one less bullet in mag along with 7k range

reloads a bit faster on the hel rifle with reload cancel i believe

[dusty basalt]

nice

You guys recommend any (special) weapons in particular for getting swarmed by weak enemies at close range?

I feel like shotguns would be the obvious answer, but like the combat shotgun takes like 3 shots to kill just a striker? Maybe my bullet spread rng is really bad?

[tardy ingot]

Combat shotgun
(It can 1 shot strikers and should basically always at least 2 shot)

[dusty basalt]

Is the sawed off also supposed to be that strong because it also seems really weak?

[tardy ingot]

its way stronger

it 1 shots easily

[ocean spindle]

sawed off has the same damage as the hel rifle for reference

and combat shottie has about half that damage i think?

[dusty basalt]

Maybe my game got messed up when I tried downloading a vr mod a while back. I'll try validating my game files.

[grizzled patrol]

probably its two Things: damage falloff and the Game lies when it comes to your Shotgun spread.

Its much tighter than what it shows

With Combat shotty you have to be very Close tho, on longer Ranges its better for stagger than damage

[paper summit]

Do I get Defector achivement in R8B4 by just opening main door without finishing the mission or do I have to finish it?

[grizzled patrol]

You have to Finish it iirc

[digital mural]

Pro tip: Do secondary, wipe, restart CP, only do main
You get both achivements in R8B4

[paper summit]

I alr did it

[burnt inlet]

how good is it to 2 cycle the giant shadow alarm in R6BX?

as a person running with bots

[tardy ingot]

Come back when you pre cycle it smh

(Should be fine ngl)

[burnt inlet]

aight

whats the spawn rates for the error alarm?

[tardy ingot]

Dunno

shouldnt be too bad

2 shadow giants like every 30 or 45 prob

[burnt inlet]

aight tyty

what does "apex override" stand for? that it requires an alarm to open?

[grizzled patrol]

Apex are the big glowing doors

Lorewise requiring high personel Clearance Level or whatever it was called again

[burnt inlet]

huh, i think the map of R6BX is wrong then cuz i do not remember an apex door over there

or my memory is wonky

but also it is very small

[grizzled patrol]

Isnt the Checkpoint door a apex?

[burnt inlet]

no, ill send a pic in media (its the zone before the checkpoint doors zone thats apex)

[grizzled patrol]

If Not Most of the Times its alluding to the next Mission and stuff

Iirc Alarms are called "Apex Puzzle" in the Game Files or something

[burnt inlet]

nvm i got OG map of this

ffs

the steam guide says its ALT//: R6BX but it isnt i believe

idk ill check back later

unless im wrong about how small apex doors look

[grizzled patrol]

The small one was used only once in the entire Game lmao

[burnt inlet]

lol

is there a priority to how the bots pick up consumables?

[tiny wyvern]

yes but I forgor

usually dark remembers that better than anyone

darksaid

[burnt inlet]

the god of bots

anyways as long as there is one im fine, prolly mines and foam at the top and sticks at the bottom

which is how i would want it

[errant dome]

medpack>ammo>tool>disinfect

[burnt inlet]

consumables

[errant dome]

oh consumables

[burnt inlet]

not refils

or whatever theyre callde

packs

[errant dome]

mb

i forgor

[burnt inlet]

is fine

they are technically consumables

[grizzled patrol]

I think its Nade/mines > foggy > lockmeltah

[burnt inlet]

ive seen them pick up glowsticks btw

outrageous that they do

[grizzled patrol]

I have never Seen them taking glowsticks or flashlight, but it might be because they are so Low in prio

[burnt inlet]

yea, ive seen it once

[grizzled patrol]

(mostly because i dont Play with Bots)

[burnt inlet]

yea i get that

[wild flare]

bots can pick glowstick and throw it if you command xd

but this consumable is lowest priority for them

[wild flare]

no, lockmelters is higher priority for them, after this it is cfoam products, then fog repellers iirc

i think cfoam grenades have slightly higher priority then cfoam mines, but sometimes they can switch one for another

i saw that a lot of r7c3

[burnt inlet]

id doubt it cuz mine are chosing mines and foams over melters

but i am also running zombified initiative (resource mod so that i can chose what they pick up)

so it is possible

[wild flare]

and explosive mine is tied with lockmelter or have slightly higher priority

[burnt inlet]

fair enough actually im prolly affected by mod

[burnt inlet]

that moment when you run out of bullets whilst fighting an entire wave of shadows 😔

[wild flare]

🫡

[burnt inlet]

i hate bots

stands still doesnt bio an entire wave on him

[wild flare]

btw, you cleared r3-r5 ? or you just went into r6 after r2?

[burnt inlet]

i went to R6 after R2D1 and R3A2

cba with the reactors

also wanted lore rundowns

[wild flare]

IF you want to continue to clear r6 for the love of god DONT do r6c3 PE ( or at least ov )

[burnt inlet]

PE is that public lobbies?

or prisoner efficiency

its prisoner efficiency

[tardy ingot]

PE = public Lobbies?
E = lobbies

[grizzled patrol]

Physical education or Pocket Edition

[wild flare]

lobbiEs

[burnt inlet]

if zones = E lobbies = E too

[wild flare]

resources = E too

[burnt inlet]

no resources = u

[wild flare]

w8 yeah, E = zone

[burnt inlet]

IM GOD TIER

[grizzled patrol]

Rusourcus so true

[wild flare]

anyway, avoid doing r6c3 PE with bots for now, it will traumatize you

[burnt inlet]

fairs

[wild flare]

r6c3 main only is piece of cake
with secondary it is annoying

[ocean spindle]

and with overload? :3

[crystal blaze]

Me when I type list 293 res and get all resource packs with 293 attached to them

[wild flare]

I ALMOST gave up doing it with bots

In fact in beginning of that day i was on work and in my mind i gave up, i thought that i will return to home after work and do this lvl through lfg,but when i finished work i found unconventional strat that allowed me to do this lvl

And even with this start it was so close it wasnt funny, literally all of us were dead and only Dauda survived xd

[burnt inlet]

I might go back to R2 and R3 if I have a static team, malefic, Demi and gab1802 united to help me clear BX

[hasty crane]

Any tips on dealing with all the scouts in R2D2
My team really feels the time pinch and we can't just shoot it because there are multiple scouts in the same room

[prime musk]

is this about donut room or z195

or both

[hasty crane]

Both but mostly the donut room

I feel like if the scouts arent nice we just bleed all our time

[prime musk]

if entire team stands in 196B you can shoot into donut room with guaranteed room stays asleep (unless you hit a scout and it doesn't kill)

this can be used to get a headstart into clearing room since anything seeable from 196B is killable for free

[hasty crane]

Cause you are two rooms away wow that's a cool strat

[prime musk]

also you should be on teamscan to 197 when it becomes available, and then send back 1-2 people to 196B to hold stragglers.

my general rule is that if opportunity to silently kill 1 scout hasn't presented itself by 3:30 remaining on timer, i shoot one of the scouts and cut my losses. with full team pushing into room and holding both directions in donut room is quite reasonable

can lower than to 3:00 or 2:30 in 4man maybe

[hasty crane]

Thank you for the advice

[prime musk]

for 195 you can do the close door shoot strat

[hasty crane]

We probably should have done that and then just tanked the scout wave cause we had trip mines

We accidentally woke up the room and got smoked

[prime musk]

nah you misunderstand

a door counts as closed the moment you press close door

but you can still shoot through the doorway when it\s closing

but no sound can pass

[hasty crane]

Oh wow that's really good to know

[prime musk]

so you can abuse this to silently kill anything including scouts

[halcyon current]

So, question, is that technically different then shooting through the door slats or no?

[hasty crane]

Is this considered not a glitch for like speedruns
Because we know about the silent shooting trick but dont want to abuse it

[prime musk]

be wary aggro rules still apply, so proxy aggro and long range aggro can both happen, but since the door was closed, it won't wake up until you open the door again. short range can be avoided by shooting all the enemies during the same closing, but long range often just wakes room anyways if it happens

[prime musk]

this is not silent shots

[hasty crane]

Ok ty

[prime musk]

i believe this is completely allowed for speeds but i don't actually know

[hasty crane]

This will also be helpful for the r8e2 grind when we start that

[prime musk]

gl

[fathom ice]

it is

[tiny wyvern]

Void made an old video on what glitches are and aren't allowed

If you ever need to look it up you can always refer to that

(I still watch it for fun sometimes
Something is def wrong with me)

[hasty crane]

Something is wrong with all of us if we play this for fun

[ocean spindle]

i would just, get good at meleeing scouts and clearing rooms fast at that point

in e2 some of the nastiest rooms dont even have doors to shoot through

i mean r2d2 doesnt even have that many, donut room u need to be very lucky to be able to actually use door strats

theres only one door below and god knows if a scout will ever pass near it, which means less time which means less resources

[prime musk]

nah you just shoot what you can from door then go in

[ocean spindle]

in z195 i mean shure

but i feel like for donut is less useful

u can barely see from the door below, or maybe my brain tells me its way more sloped than it is

[brazen stump]

Hi i literally installed the game yesterday, i need a little bit of tutorship if anyone is willing to

[ocean spindle]

if urrr searching for a team n stuff, u can check the LFG channels to share n join lobbies, the instructions are in https://discord.com/channels/408196129470152705/653623062964731920

or u mean like asking a question n stuff

[brazen stump]

more like gameplay wise

srry i didnt check this was the questions channel

[ocean spindle]

its ok

[brazen stump]

one thing tho, i dont understand the whole lfg thing

i entered the begginers chat and its just voice channel invitations

so im a bit lost

[ocean spindle]

the LFG channels- well they are channels to search for people, the message is divided by the voice channel link, the amount of players they are looking for [LF3 = looking for 3] , the level they are playing [R means rundown, so for example R1A1 is the level A1 from Rundown 1], other details, and then the big string of numbers is a code to join the lobby

u can check the info too on #how-to-matchmake

[brazen stump]

ohhh i get it

and nacionality and stuff ?

i mean region or whtvr

[ocean spindle]

theres LFG channels for regions, if u dont see them, check id:customize

people usually tend to also post their nacionality on the beginners one to avoid desync

[brazen stump]

nice

thanks

i will check on my own now

[ocean spindle]

okiii, if u have any other doubts u can always ask

[hasty crane]

If you ever have questions don't hesitate to ask
I have over 200 hours and I'm still a complete newbie by gtfo standards
So don't be afraid to ask for advice

[ocean spindle]

this game be like, 300 hours? sure but u dont know about back damage so skill issue

read

and that that was me

[frail heart]

If you don’t have exactly the amount of hours I have then ur a noob

[ocean spindle]

i have twice divided by half multiplied by .9 the hours u have

[digital mural]

#guides-and-reviews

[frail heart]

That’s like double my hours what

[ocean spindle]

twice, divided by half = same thing, x 0.9 which is less

[frail heart]

No

Divided by a half is 2x

[ocean spindle]

i guess i shouldve said vut by half

[digital mural]

5 x 2 = 10/2 = 5*.9 = 9.5? (I'm using the 5 as example)

[ocean spindle]

fucking english

[ocean spindle]

5 x 0.9 wouldnt be 9.5 it would be 4.5

can we just go back to me not being funny

[digital mural]

I think Frosty added his X amount of hours multiplied the .9

[brazen stump]

damn

200 hundred ?

thats little ?

[ocean spindle]

it depends

some people with 400 or so have finished the game

some people with 1k hours keep playin cuz its fun

[digital mural]

The average for finishing the game for what i have seen is 300ish

[brazen stump]

bruh i booted first mission solo and i got literally vanished

[ocean spindle]

solo bots or solo solo

[wet bear]

There's no end for the suffer

[digital mural]

Use bots

[brazen stump]

solo solo

[digital mural]

Dont go true solo

[ocean spindle]

cuz solo solo its a challenge run absolutely

[brazen stump]

XD

[ocean spindle]

it doesnt scale

[digital mural]

You wont get far

[ocean spindle]

:3

hizo la chistosada

[digital mural]

It needs a decent amount of experience

And even then some levels will take a while

[brazen stump]

apa sabemos spanish

[digital mural]

Yo también hablo español

[ocean spindle]

yes me and pablo

ksmdkm

[brazen stump]

kasdjkasdj

nice

pais ?

[digital mural]

Tacolandia

[ocean spindle]

where gtfo takes place

[brazen stump]

There isnt any problem with writting a litle of spanish right ?

[ocean spindle]

[thats canon]

[brazen stump]

i rode that you could only talk in english

[digital mural]

Yes

But a little bit of other languages wont get you nuked

[wet bear]

You won't get killed if it's a little bit

[brazen stump]

ok ok

[digital mural]

As long as it isnt all the time

[brazen stump]

nah but i prefer this

[ocean spindle]

gets killed

[brazen stump]

dont like spanglish

spear is best melee right ?

[ocean spindle]

oh no

[digital mural]

Nope

Who keeps saying that

[brazen stump]

hammer ?

[digital mural]

I NEED to know

[wet bear]

It depends

[digital mural]

Yes

[wet bear]

Me

[digital mural]

Hammer is the best all rounder

[ocean spindle]

the range on the spear is misleadin thats why everyone says

[brazen stump]

yeah i like hammer but it occupies to much space in the screen

[ocean spindle]

tbh most guns do

[digital mural]

It does have more range but it's simply not worth it

[brazen stump]

tru

[digital mural]

Cant sprint
Slow af charge
Shit damage tbh

[ocean spindle]

tell that to the people that never run while chargin and are afraid of not hittin headshots anyway

[brazen stump]

knife is just like sigma mindset no ?

[ocean spindle]

also the charges the same as hammer isnt it

[grizzled patrol]

Imho its more of a vibe when you carry heavy Equipment around

[ocean spindle]

pretty much

[grizzled patrol]

If you need more Screen space, increase your fov

[ocean spindle]

its a vibe and its cool
but damn does it block stuff up sometimes

me when i played prec rifle when i started out

[digital mural]

90-100 fov is very nice

The default 50 is horrible

[ocean spindle]

ermm the default is 55

[halcyon current]

Default fov is actually insane tbh

[digital mural]

Its like our characters have tunnel vision

[halcyon current]

What fps defaults to 55 fov

[ocean spindle]

gtfo

[halcyon current]

Like make it at least 70 or something

[ocean spindle]

and den of wolves®

maybe

[brazen stump]

i put the maxim fov

[halcyon current]

Anything under 90 sucks but 55?

[brazen stump]

i think its 120 ?

[digital mural]

Ye

[ocean spindle]

fish view

[brazen stump]

ye

[flat oar]

120 fov enjoyer

[brazen stump]

ye

[digital mural]

Omg Tonmai

[brazen stump]

i play ultrakill

XD

[grizzled patrol]

Minecraft Speed potion

[brazen stump]

its like a dependency to put the max fov in all games

[grizzled patrol]

Quake Gamer?

[brazen stump]

ye

[digital mural]

120 is only the max fov set up by the game
But how much is truly the limit?

[grizzled patrol]

Ah, it all comes together lmao

[brazen stump]

i am trash in any shooter that isnt run and gun

so i am having a hard time with this one

[digital mural]

I have some news for you

GTFO is going to suck

[brazen stump]

but i really like it

[grizzled patrol]

I have tried 360 . But my Game brokey 😦

[digital mural]

Try 400

[grizzled patrol]

Fuck it, we ball with 420

[digital mural]

Good

[halcyon current]

Actually, is default fov 55 or 60?

[brazen stump]

i have to try new games

[digital mural]

55

[halcyon current]

Cause iirc unity default is 60

Which means if it's 55 they fucking lowered it

[brazen stump]

damn

horse view

[grizzled patrol]

It Turns into a dot on the Screen. Cant See shit

[brazen stump]

i have the game on steam family

[digital mural]

Unity games used to look funky beyond 90

[brazen stump]

im trying it to buy it latter

i have seen it with discount whole year

[grizzled patrol]

Cant Play it with Friends? Unlucky

[halcyon current]

Ik, I never really put them past 100 cause arms start looking weird

[brazen stump]

but never got the chance

[brazen stump]

i think its just with the one friend that lend you the game right ?

i just have 1 person

in steam family

[grizzled patrol]

Iirc it Has been changed recently

[brazen stump]

mmm

[grizzled patrol]

But i dont remember how it works now

[brazen stump]

because in the room i didnt have problem inviting friends

just that i dont know any one that plays this

[digital mural]

Now you know

[brazen stump]

yeah

i looked the steam charts

looks bad

[grizzled patrol]

Yeah ofc you cant Just Play together with the ones who is Sharing with you. Me and the Boys also have the shared library lmao

[brazen stump]

but it seems like a strong community

[digital mural]

1k on average is pretty good tho

It has been for months and it doesnt go down

Some days we get 1.5

[brazen stump]

that shows good community

some games just die

and this game really looks that isnt for everybody

[digital mural]

1 in 4 player retention rate

Btw

[grizzled patrol]

99% of Players quit after Hitting the Iron Wall of Game knowledge (in a Game that doesnt teach anything)

[digital mural]

Which means in a full squad only one player keeps playing after the first couple hours

[hasty crane]

It has a very specific game feel
Where it's unintuitive at the start
But if you stick with it the game feels good

[brazen stump]

skill issue

[fathom ice]

99% of players quit before they hit big

[digital mural]

They quit before hitting R2E1

[hasty crane]

Like at first it felt random
But now (most) losses feel like skill issue

[grizzled patrol]

Santonian miners were the real gamers we should Strive to be

[brazen stump]

yeah i have heard the same in videos and stuff

[brazen stump]

rock and stone

[tiny wyvern]

...Well, by the time you understand the game enough you either die to stupid shit (By you or someone else)
Or bugs

There's a lot of bugs

Even more than drg
They are EVERYWHERE

[digital mural]

Or you get ff by your teammates

Which happens a lot

[hasty crane]

I got introduced to the game from the astralspiff series
And got to improve as the series dropped over the course of a year

[digital mural]

I had a lot of wipes because of it

[grizzled patrol]

If you dont Rock and Stone, you aint coming home

[tiny wyvern]

Triple down due to sniper sentry

Never gets old

[brazen stump]

i dont understand the characters and stuff

[tiny wyvern]

You don't need to

[brazen stump]

i knew that there where like 6 ?

[digital mural]

Getting wiped by one ball sack is probably the worst thing ever

[brazen stump]

but i just have cosmetic options

[digital mural]

Theres only 4 characters

Playable

[brazen stump]

im tryppin

[digital mural]

Woods, Hackett, Dauda and Bishop

[hasty crane]

I remember the first time I refilled a sniper sentry out of ammo standing in front of it
Never happened again

[digital mural]

Our beloved protagonists

[brazen stump]

are there any different ?

[grizzled patrol]

Spiff Videos were painfull. Absolute beginners dropping into the warzone

[digital mural]

Nope

Just different characters

[brazen stump]

oh ok

are the 3 snipers good ?

[grizzled patrol]

GTFO roguelike when?

[digital mural]

I understand wanting to clear the game without help
But smashing your head against a wall is..... Not the way to go

[hasty crane]

Honestly it was a good view of what to aim for as a beginner
Because now I can look at Eva and Kenny videos and understand what is happening
But there's no way I could have at first

[digital mural]

Theres only one sniper

[hasty crane]

They were a good stopgap for my lack of skill until I learned more

[brazen stump]

in the 4 games ive had i always put one of the 3

[grizzled patrol]

Yk what? GTFO would Go hard If it were Like the mooncrash DLC for prey

[digital mural]

The Koning is the only sniper

The other is a precision rifle (which are different)

[brazen stump]

the one with thermal ?

[digital mural]

The hel rifle isnt a sniper

[digital mural]

Precision Rifle

[brazen stump]

looks like one

[hasty crane]

Hel rifle >> kroning

[brazen stump]

hel rifle is the one that charges a little bit right ?

[digital mural]

Yep

[hasty crane]

Yes
Learning how to abuse overpen in this game is very fun

[brazen stump]

it feells really good to shoot that thing

what is the meta ?

[hasty crane]

I run wave clear on my squad and my loadout is hel revolver and hel gun

[brazen stump]

auto or shotgun ?

[digital mural]

Hel shotgun, sawed off, Hel revo

Hel rifle, Hel gun, scattergun

[hasty crane]

My job is just to shoot lots of smalls

[grizzled patrol]

Imho pen is boring. Dragging BC is more skillfull

[fathom ice]

it is meta

[hasty crane]

You are correct
Counterpoint: I suck

[digital mural]

Autos in this game are the worst type of gun

They are really really weak

[brazen stump]

yeah in all the weapons i have tried so far it was the best

[carmine grotto]

let the pubs have their bullpup

[hasty crane]

The machine gun isn't bad for a newer player

[digital mural]

NAHHHHH
everything except that gun

[hasty crane]

The veruta

[digital mural]

No Arby love?

[brazen stump]

it feels a bit weird the weapon distribution in this game

[grizzled patrol]

Where is the Hel bullpup when the Community needs it the Most...

[brazen stump]

i mean

why would i pick a revolver over a gauss canon

[digital mural]

Different uses

Burst cannon for bigs or bosses enemies mostly
Revolver for small enemies

[hasty crane]

Each player is usually playing into a role

You specialize

[fathom ice]

he's starting to believe

[brazen stump]

i liked the precision pistol

secondary i think

[digital mural]

High cal is pretty good

Works for bigs and one shots smalls

[brazen stump]

but little ammo

[grizzled patrol]

Ngl i think Revolver needs a rework. 20 damage revo would Go hard

[hasty crane]

I like to run it in charger missions because I one shots them

[brazen stump]

does it feel good to fire atleast ?

[digital mural]

Yep

[hasty crane]

It's a fun weapon definitely

[brazen stump]

havent tried it

damn

gotta main revolver

[tiny wyvern]

Do be careful tho

[fathom ice]

recoil is pretty bad

[grizzled patrol]

Hipfire is very accurate, pretty satisfying

[hasty crane]

Oh I'm taking about the high caliber

[tiny wyvern]

If you fan fire it the barrel points to the sky

[fathom ice]

you won't like it

[brazen stump]

i have seen worst recoils

[digital mural]

Yeaaaaaah your character will be looking at his own back if you fire it fast

[brazen stump]

this game is hard on recoil but payday 2 is far heavier

the autos feel really bad tho

[hasty crane]

I personally don't run the regular revolver because I like the hel revolver better

But you gotta find what you like personally

[fathom ice]

you haven't touched the gun yet

[digital mural]

Pen > everything else

[brazen stump]

im gonna do a 2 revolver build

XD

[grizzled patrol]

Wouldnt it funny If assault rifle dealt more damage, but Had the recoil pattern of the CS2 AK?

[digital mural]

You know what would be funny?

Hel Auto Rifle

[hasty crane]

Make the hel auto pistol a full rifle

[brazen stump]

sheesh

gona try it right know

[hasty crane]

Just put a stock on it
No longer California complaint

[brazen stump]

just for funsies

[digital mural]

Its not like the Complex followed laws either

[grizzled patrol]

Just Take the sentry in your hands

[digital mural]

Sometimes i ask myself why characters in media dont do that

[brazen stump]

does anyone use the motion scanner ?

never seen anyone using it a think

[digital mural]

Everyone has 1 in their team

Always

Is the only tool and way to know enemies locations

[brazen stump]

its for scout gameplay right ?

[digital mural]

Nope

[grizzled patrol]

It is top Tier. Imho it makes the Game more boring tho

[digital mural]

Its for everything

You can see sleeping enemies
Ping awake enemies

Its the only way of knowing how many and where enemies are coming from

And by default is the best tool in the game

[fathom ice]

motion scanner goes hard

[grizzled patrol]

Just listen lmao

[brazen stump]

good to know

[digital mural]

I'm usually listening to music while playing

So no

I wont

[brazen stump]

i used the thermal scope rifle to look for enemies

XD

[digital mural]

You have a flahslight

F key

[grizzled patrol]

GTFO Volume to 0? Damm

[digital mural]

More like 20
You get used to it

[brazen stump]

cant see anything with that

[hasty crane]

I really have to thank Kenny for being the reason I got better at the game
I watched the astralspiff r8e2 vod where Kenny coached them and found him through that
From there I started asking questions I. The discord and watching him and Eva

[fathom ice]

ur guns have better flashlight

[grizzled patrol]

Ik i am playing with music aswell. I have it on 5% and still hear it

[carmine grotto]

go back and watch the vids when you get better and its painful how baldy they play

[digital mural]

I died in their first videos

Spear best melee

[hasty crane]

Dude you are so right

[digital mural]

MG one of the best guns

Trying to shoot a tank up front

[grizzled patrol]

Trust me bro, you NEED the spear for scouts

[digital mural]

Oh My god

[brazen stump]

is it based to play bataldo and mastaba ?

or wich one is better

[fathom ice]

don't use manufacturer names

[carmine grotto]

one is based, the other is pub tier, choose wisely

[brazen stump]

why?

[digital mural]

Yes however
Guns have common names such as revolver or Hel pistol
Bataldo and mastaba are manufacturer names
Most of people know the guns by their common names

[hasty crane]

I am designated scout killer and I use hammer
I just swap to spear if I have to deal with invisible scouts

[brazen stump]

ohhhh

[fathom ice]

cus no one uses them

[brazen stump]

i get it

sounded cool tho

why no one uses tehm ?

[digital mural]

Theres multiple bataldo

[grizzled patrol]

Hel revo? The Cowboy loadout is a vibe, but Had some issues

[brazen stump]

*them

[digital mural]

Same with Malatack

Buckland

Drekker

Múltiple guns have that name

[fathom ice]

me when i run buckland and drekker

goes hard

[brazen stump]

buckland is the shotgun right ?

[digital mural]

Shotguns*

Theres multiple

[fathom ice]

u wish

[grizzled patrol]

I Wish i Could equip santonian HDH in every slot

[carmine grotto]

bro its good

[wet bear]

No buckland is a buckland and shotgun is a shotgun

[fathom ice]

😔

[digital mural]

Buckland is the name of the company that makes the shotgun

The shotgun is the shotgun

[wet bear]

But not all shotguns are the shotgun

[brazen stump]

im guessing the hel revolver is the good one right ?

[digital mural]

Exactly

[fathom ice]

play sawed off

[grizzled patrol]

Have you asked it? Maybe it is its Name. Dont hurt the Feelings of guns

[digital mural]

Nah fuck them

They can suck deez

[brazen stump]

i tried it in my first game i think

[hasty crane]

Yeah its really good if you can pick your shots

[ocean spindle]

tbh askin for guns as a newie is a bit of a nothing burger, u have fun, experiment, if u lose or dont like well sad move onto another

[brazen stump]

its nice but i didnt like the feel

[fathom ice]

it's the best main

[ocean spindle]

no need to play meta at all

[digital mural]

Have fun for now as slendi said

Because later
Things will get spicy

[grizzled patrol]

Slug for refined Gentleman

[carmine grotto]

shhh let us gaslight pubs into using AR HAR

[ocean spindle]

either way ur carried rn by ur own knowledge and experimentation with tools and stealth

[hasty crane]

Just play what you find fun
Your games sense will improve no matter what you play

[fathom ice]

that's dif

[brazen stump]

yea im just asking opinions

[wet bear]

Worst weapon can't one shot teammate/enemy kappa

[ocean spindle]

har based i will die on this hill

[carmine grotto]

you will die in missions too

[fathom ice]

that's why i run sawed off/ scatter

[digital mural]

People just hate HAR because its not scattergun

[grizzled patrol]

Fun fact, DTR is Just HAR with slightly less ammo

[ocean spindle]

z

[wet bear]

I think that works for all guns

[fathom ice]

har is bad tho

[carmine grotto]

after all the BPSR runs ARHAR is the next harder step

[fathom ice]

autos are automatically bad

[digital mural]

BP/Choke

[ocean spindle]

hel shotgun trash

[upper ginkgo]

sky took the ray pill 😔

[grizzled patrol]

ICBM launcher

[fathom ice]

😔

[digital mural]

Sky you need to say MG users are idiots

[fathom ice]

listen I like autos, they're just bad in vanilla

[carmine grotto]

nah choke is a solid choice and too good

[ocean spindle]

omg i played the smg i will automatically lose any run i do now

[wet bear]

Sky got raygunned and died due to radiation

[digital mural]

Real

Play sawed/scatter

[grizzled patrol]

Ngl, Choke is Just diet scatter

[carmine grotto]

its scatter with the need to click more than once

[brazen stump]

the only rifle i liked was the 3 shot one

malatack i think

[digital mural]

Choke is a decent gun
But scatter is just miles ahead

[upper ginkgo]

rare burst rifle user

[digital mural]

They are made for the same purpose

[grizzled patrol]

Burst rifle is painfully mid

[carmine grotto]

they're on the Burst Rifle to Carbine pipeline

[hasty crane]

Is hel shotty just a worse hel autopistol?
I thought it was good

[grizzled patrol]

Neutered carbone

[fathom ice]

they're trolling

[brazen stump]

the sound is really nice tho

[grizzled patrol]

Just wait Till you See those Client meatshots

[ocean spindle]

is above average just cuz it isnt sawed off is not mid

[digital mural]

But-but-but is similar to carbine

[ocean spindle]

client burst rifle literally oneshots a striker

[grizzled patrol]

It is really range dependant

[brazen stump]

damn

[ocean spindle]

even from afar burst rifle still has good range, so if u dont oneshot u two burst usually

[brazen stump]

the mastaba revolver is really nice

[grizzled patrol]

Its better than Autos, but worse than (Most of) semi Autos. The burst limbo is real

[brazen stump]

trying it right know

[ocean spindle]

funny gun my beloved

[ocean spindle]

thats funny considering pistol rifle slug- like dont put it D tier just cuz everything else is S tier

burst rifle would be an A

maybe a B if ur feeling grumpy

[carmine grotto]

I think Burst Pistol isnt that bad if you can hit shots/ weak spots

[grizzled patrol]

I do believe that slug is underrated. Genuenly

[fathom ice]

that's a bingo square

[carmine grotto]

defending the bp or using both bp and slug

[ocean spindle]

i think its better than most autos but still about a C or a generous GENEROUS b tier

[fathom ice]

awful weapon takes

is a square

[grizzled patrol]

All it needs is a firing Speed buff 😭

[brazen stump]

normal revolver feels better than the hel one

[carmine grotto]

if you dont hit headshots, yes

[fathom ice]

it is a 2nd slot weapon

they're supposed to be stronger

[brazen stump]

really ?

[fathom ice]

good morning

[timber bay]

good evening

[fathom ice]

hi thina s

[grizzled patrol]

Good night

[fathom ice]

they'll never know

[upper ginkgo]

is there an alt among us

[carmine grotto]

shh, its a little known secret thats known by half of everyone whos not a pub

[fathom ice]

amogus

[brazen stump]

no but really secondary is stronger ?

[fathom ice]

yes

[carmine grotto]

in most cases yes

[timber bay]

short rifle is OP, yes

[carmine grotto]

if you click fast enough

[brazen stump]

wich one is that ?

[grizzled patrol]

Secondaries are Primaries, and Primaries are secondaries. You feel me?

[digital mural]

In other words
Youll be using more your secondary

[fathom ice]

what dps was it with macro

i forgor

[digital mural]

69990

[carmine grotto]

wouldn't recommend it if youre legitimately running lvls, its a fun one to make things slightly harder

[fathom ice]

ok

[carmine grotto]

it can kill a Cscout pretty easily

[brazen stump]

💀

[digital mural]

Half of secondaries too

[grizzled patrol]

Arent there only a couple that cant?

(If you melee before the shot)

[digital mural]

MG can one shot a CScout

Trust

[carmine grotto]

facts^^

[timber bay]

what evil information are you spreading malefic

[carmine grotto]

he speaks only the truth

[digital mural]

He speaks with deez

[grizzled patrol]

Trust me bro, If you limb Break a Cscout while it is on stairs, it will fall it down Like a grandpa instagibbing himself

[timber bay]

rt! that's how you kill a nightmare scout with scatter too, just shoot the legs!

or so I've been tol

[grizzled patrol]

Dem grippers must be very soft for them to Take Double damage

[brazen stump]

yo those ones that spread like tentacles or something, do i just avoid them ? or can be oneshot with melee to head ?

[digital mural]

You can

[grizzled patrol]

You need a spear for that

[digital mural]

Hammer and spear charge to the head

[grizzled patrol]

[digital mural]

Knife and bat need a full charge to the back of the head

Once you touch the tentacles you have around 1 second to kill it

[brazen stump]

knew that spear was besto weapon

[digital mural]

So charge your melee and sprint at them

[timber bay]

did I just hear a

BESTO FRENDO

[digital mural]

i know this isnt the place but does anyone play league ? (pls no hate for naming that game)

[grizzled patrol]

@rapid warren pbly gambled His savings away for the skins ( without touching the MM)

[brazen stump]

just looking for clash players

or whtvr

[grizzled patrol]

How about you Look for a shover?
|| For legal reasons thats a Joke ||

[brazen stump]

nah

its like a job at this point

no league player will tell you that they enjoy playing league

[tiny wyvern]

I never quite understood what league is about

[brazen stump]

chimps behind keyboards

pardon the insult

never play league

[minor fractal]

It's a very involved competitive game

[digital mural]

Competiton to see who can go the longest without showering

[rapid warren]

[grizzled patrol]

Yes

[rapid warren]

Is everything fixed now I just woke up

[burnt inlet]

should i run foam + mines for r6c1?

[flat oar]

i see not that difference comparing to 3 sentries

[ocean spindle]

tbh bit od a weird level for tools

i would probs go mines 2 sentris or 3 sentries

[flat oar]

funnel first alarm with 1 sentry

[tardy ingot]

Heavily heavily recommend 3 sentries

[burnt inlet]

ffs just dropped with mines lol

[tardy ingot]

all alarms are funnelable

[flat oar]

i think there just during error and T scan that can use c-foam?

[burnt inlet]

time for big brain

[tardy ingot]

you can technically use cfoam for all of them

But the room layouts heavily favours funnelling

[tardy ingot]

Just redrop?

[burnt inlet]

ima run burst so no running out of tool moments

[burnt inlet]

yep, as speedrunners say though, timeloss

[tardy ingot]

Wdym weird

R1C2 is „weird“ not r6c1

[burnt inlet]

r6bx weird

[tardy ingot]

You simply run 3 burst and a bio ye

[ocean spindle]

i forgot u can funnel ngl

i forgot the layout of the alarms

[tardy ingot]

not rly
It just changes a bit between main only and sec run

[burnt inlet]

its werid in good way

[tardy ingot]

theres other levels where optionals change what you wanna bring

[burnt inlet]

never had to run to several terms like that

[ocean spindle]

most of the levels i designed are levels which fuck u over a lot on what tools to bring :D

i like those types of levels

[burnt inlet]

u a mod dev?

oh wait i remember this level

played it once

[ocean spindle]

no but maybs one day

[burnt inlet]

"most of the levels i designed" u a dev?

[prime musk]

made some mods

[burnt inlet]

i got fished

[ocean spindle]

i just written levels

:3

i got 13 14 levels on word docs

[burnt inlet]

when it in gtfo?

[hoary mason]

[thin idol]

Any tips on how to complete R1C1? me and my friends have run it like 4 times and we cant get past it.

keep in mind we are legit gamers

so its not a aim issue

[hard nexus]

amazing username

[civic wave]

There are several little things that can make a big difference for R1C1
What guns and tools are you taking (the tools are more important than the guns)
Where are you holding to fight the waves?
How quickly are you putting the code in?

[hard nexus]

pewdiepie bridge strat

3 or 4 sentry

have one guy do all the work where 3 guys afk and sometimes run back for supplies

remove medipacks found close to reactor and go grab the big stuff

[digital mural]

Captain America: puts foot on chair "So you are having trouble with R1C1"

a reactor is ultimately 3 parts,
1 Wave Defense
2 gathering resources in between
3 getting the code into the terminal in time
If you already know how R1C1's reactor works, then its just the first two things you need, and they can go hand in hand

the most popular place to defend for many reasons is the bridge tile. the hole in the wall at the south end is a great choke point where you can get angles and focus your sentries, the bridge itself is a perfect funnel if/as you fall back, and its only about a 30 second run to the reactor terminal.

when you start looting after the shooting, you have quite a lot of resources around you to spend as the code person runs out and runs back. and on longer warm up times for the later codes, you have enough time to run forward and loot in previous areas.

when giants spawn having someone with a good weapon for bigs like hel rifle is useful (especially for hybrids) as well as saving tool by only having 2 sentries down for most waves, saving it for later waves or the waves with Hybrids (4, 6, 8).

this is definitely a 3 sentry + 1 bio tracker level, and when you learn all sentries are not created equal.
Burst is the best all-arounder.
Sniper sentry thrives with bio tracking and the long sight lines on this level.
shot gun sentry is in the game
Autosentry is in the game.
