idk how my skin has reacted to it, never thought about it before

but also im white as snow so i need to get out more BabyShooter

From a meta perspective why would anyone use the shotgun? It seems to be generally outclassed by the hi-cal pistol, which to my understanding is the closest comparable weapon. Shotgun has a faster reload (with cancel) and more rounds per mag, but less per pack, and a far less consistent one-shot due to the cone spread v.s bullet shot type, not to mention less effective range.

um boss kill

lucid sonnet
#

How much does that practically matter when if you were going to kill a boss with a shotgun you'd just bring a scatter instead and let other teammates spec for small killing on their special.

civic wave
#

at that point you'd skip high cal as well, for hel rifle instead

lucid sonnet
#

At which point why bring either

civic wave
#

ya

#

if you're looking at meta picks only, neither gets there

halcyon current
#

Just run sawed off scatter gun

civic wave
#

but yea, shotgun is very versatile and does most things well enough

#

(apart from stagger enemies but this is me complaining about gun stats)

#

Yeah lmao

digital mural
#

bring machinegun

minor fractal
#

Scatter is greatly overshadows 90%+ of the aresenal.

ocean spindle
#

if one just wants to worry about meta the whole team should be sawed off, one scattergun and 3 hel rifles

burnt inlet
#

id say itd be one bot too running scanner, BR and BC

brave wedge
#

What's a good loadout for someone like me who's intermediate but hasn't figured out the game?

flat oar
#

hard to say its also depend on what exactly what do you want to do like clear the small, the big

but pretty much guns that can bring to every lvl
main : hel rev, sawed-off
special : hel rifle, HCP

#

kinda hard to tell on special

upper ginkgo
#

yeah you probably want to learn how to use hel weapons because it'll make clearing content in this game a lot easier

#

sawed-off / hel gun will probably be your defacto wave-clear loadout

#

sawed-off / scatter for boss kill / big kill

#

idk if i'd push hel revo nowadays when sawed off exists and gets more value for less effort

prime musk
#

hel revo gets more value into smalls but it just requires better lines and far far better play to get it

#

sawed off just wins into every other target and is 98% of the way there vs smalls

brave wedge
#

I want a versatile loadout. I love me spear and bio-scanner but I'm definitely a sniper guy as for primary I have absolutely no clue the optimal engagement range and weapons that fit my playstyle of optimal efficiency and gimmicky

flat oar
#

versatile and sniper cannot be in the same sentence

upper ginkgo
#

then yeah sawed-off / hel gun covers all your bases if you want versatility

prime musk
#

optimal efficiency and versatility and gimmicky? sounds like sawed off scatter to me

flat oar
#

imo the most versatile is sawed-off / hel rifle

brave wedge
#

I'll give those a shot see what happens

tiny wyvern
#

Sniper has incredible issues that makes it top out on ammo way too often and makes you waste it on something that you really shouldn't

#

So unless you've got a rundown with a majority of bigs (with actual heads) you don't really see anyone run it when hard levels come around without extreme finess around it

#

Hel rifle gives you penetration so you can collat a few smalls and does good damage against bigs as well

#

Sawed off is just absolutely goated as long as you use it up close

prime musk
#

@frail heart it's so whack because that tile is in so many other expeditions and is fine there

#

they just broke the nav part of the tile in r8c1 and i don't get it

frail heart
#

its just cause they rushed the rundown due to deadlines

#

but yeah quite funny

tardy ingot
#

You dont find this during testing since nobody intentionally wakes up enemies to check whether enemies getautostuck

#

(Funnily enough I found smth like that for R8E2)

prime musk
#

you really find this one eva

#

you wake the room and back out to previous room

frail heart
#

they would have seen enemies run into walls

tardy ingot
prime musk
#

and enemies just can't exit the room

frail heart
#

they 100% didnt do enough testing

#

due to deadlines

tardy ingot
#

Theres a reason that issue never happens for experienced teams

#

Cuz they kill the scouts and rooms

frail heart
#

that doesnt happen in every run tho

tardy ingot
#

???

frail heart
#

eva i think you underestimate the standard for amount of testing done for stuff

#

which they obviously didnt do due to time constraints which they said in the interview

tardy ingot
#

this specifically is just ultra unlikely to be found by playing

Reminder that they path normally if you have the other door open most of the time aswell

This is rly just a blunder from whoever set the navmesh

#

So even if you test this level by walking through it with an enemy to see if pathing breaks, its unlikely to be found

tardy ingot
#

Oy

#

Not even true

safe cradle
#

MAYBE I'm saying something false, but I remember them talking about having way more people to test levels in earlier rundowns and only a bunch for R8

frail heart
#

they also had a very shit deadline

safe cradle
#

Which doesn't mean that they tested less (in theory), but I wouldn't be surprised if they kinda rushed the testing for R8 somewhat more than previous rundowns

#

I'll say that whenever I replay Rundown 8 it's just so obvious how DIFFERENT it is from previous rundowns

#

There's a lot of stuff you ONLY find there, even zoomer scouts which for example could very easily fit previous rundowns without looking weird or whatnot

#

Or how sectors are finally an either/or scenario rather than an added part of the level (R8B2 and R8C1)

#

Which makes me wonder how the game would look like "revamped/remastered"

#

Not that it's ever going to happen

open rover
#

there easily could be a HD remaster pack that improves the visuals

topaz anvil
open rover
#

yeah cos there aint one

#

I am just saying that someone could make one eventually

topaz anvil
#

This is so sad

open rover
#

why is it sad? the game looks fine as is, it would just be nice if there was one

#

team

#

how does 424 work in r8d1

#

like

#

i killed it once

#

it respawned without scouts, without bbcs

#

i killed it like 2 more times because i forgor it's a respawn room, without scouts or bbcs

topaz anvil
#

That the big r6c1 room?

prime musk
#

i kill it again, this time with scouts but with fewer bbcs

prime musk
prime musk
#

wdym

frail heart
#

like set enemy respawns

prime musk
#

it's different between respawns though

frail heart
#

idk if its all but some enemies also always spawn in the same place

frail heart
#

so every time you run the level itll be the same

prime musk
#

no

#

i have had different respawns

#

same run

#

3 different, at least

frail heart
#

yes but you will get those same respawns in a DIFFERENT run

prime musk
#

im dum ok ty

#

does this apply for other respawn zones too in this level

frail heart
#

uhhh idk

#

i think those are just normal

topaz anvil
#

Should be normal

prime musk
#

also do fog reps have infinite vertical

topaz anvil
#

No

summer wolf
#

Anyone can help me in clearing R2D2?

topaz anvil
#

Fogs are spherical

what

keen seal

frail heart
#

ur up???? ๐Ÿคจ

Out of bed obviously

keen seal

how about I'm down

#

any better?

topaz anvil
#

Depressed?

keen seal
#

bruh

topaz anvil
keen seal
#

after getting signalis music on random play yes

frail heart
#

@prime musk so eva told me that the respawn room only respawns the small dudes and then the terminal commands you do in the side zones spawn in the bbcs and stuff and thats why their position is static

prime musk
#

hm

#

makes some sense, ig for whatever reason the side command that respawns bbcs only respawns 1 instead of all 3

tardy ingot
#

Respawn

#

It spaw s

#

New ones

prime musk
#

yesyes im just bad at words

#

team is r8d1 just easy

#

idk sure i researched and had map and shit but if i solo it first try first clear idk

frail heart
#

its left side r8 so its not that hard

prime musk
#

frosty it's not left and right
it's A side and B side

errant dome
#

the only actual kinda hard one is r8c1 ol

#

but u have the forced doorbug thing

#

so its free lol

topaz anvil
#

Fake and real side

prime musk
#

yeah it just took 3 attempts to get terminal in overload that's doable solo

frail heart
frail heart
prime musk
frail heart
#

if ur intentionally abusing it then you might as well door bug

frail heart
#

im just a double agent

prime musk
#

fair

prime musk
wild flare
#

guys i watched e2 video guide and how the fuck it is possible with bots? ||3 tanks on last reactor wave, are you serious?||BabyShooter

prime musk
#

there is a room in code hunt where you get very good high ground to kill tanks

#

if you can have the bots follow you up there and you have burst cannon or hel rifle yourself, i think it should be doable

frail heart
#

^

#

that spot would be very good with bots

#

you take bc and its free

wild flare
#

||also about first codehunting, can i avoid corrupted scans omw back to reactor? according to video guide, if i w8 a bit, there will be power off or something like that, when those scans dissapears and i can get first code, but to make them disappear omw back to reactor,someone has to put code into reactor terminal and i obviously cannot do it||

prime musk
#

there is a climb route that takes you to the terminal (only accessible when lights ON, aka where it matters) and another climb route back that is available always

#

in other words, you never have to be worried about the corrupted scans

wild flare
#

okay, thats pretty good

frail heart
#

also the lights will turn on and off its not based on a person putting in code

#

but yeah if you want to get to term, jump up left side and on the way back jump upp terminal

prime musk
#

huh isn't it left side reactor perspective to get to term

#

and then left side again from term ends perspective to get back

prime musk
#

is a nightmare scout killable as host with quickswap

keen seal
#

think so

errant dome
#

can do it with scatter or sniper

fathom ice
errant dome
#

u can with scatter as well

fathom ice
#

u can just kill it as host at this point

tardy ingot
#

they take full dmg into a certain part in the upper neck

prime musk
#

yes with the headshot i know but that isn't reasonable

#

i don't think i can hit that consistently

tardy ingot
#

realistically you also dont rly have to deal with them lol

fathom ice
#

realistically u just break tumor and fight a scout wave

#

it's no biggie

tardy ingot
#

in C1 its 1 and doesnt matter
in A2 its better to trigger them
in D2 they dont rly matter
in E2 its one

prime musk
#

in 8a2 sec i don't really want to be fighting a scout wave team

#

ill just full stealth probably

fathom ice
#

u can

#

avoid it

errant dome
#

they spawn normals instead of nightmares

fathom ice
#

think he meant scout after pmom

errant dome
#

oh that one

fathom ice
#

realistically

errant dome
#

well u can avoid it ya

fathom ice
#

just kill pmom

#

kek

errant dome
#

also that lol

#

there is no reason not 2 bring scatter if ur doing secondary

#

unless ur doin a challenge i suppose

prime musk
#

team

#

im solo

fathom ice
#

yeah

errant dome
#

even then

fathom ice
#

just kill

#

pmom

errant dome
#

why would u not bring scatter

prime musk
#

it's scatter sawed off

fathom ice
#

can u not kill a pmom with scatter sawed off

errant dome
#

^

prime musk
#

not without birth

fathom ice
#

just kill

#

birth

#

??

errant dome
#

its 1 birth

frail heart
#

why kill???

#

just go past it

fathom ice
#

why not

#

style points

#

tbf if ure doing sec

#

and not goofing

#

ure 100/100 with a 4 use

#

so

#

might as well

frail heart
#

you still have class 5 or whatevr

#

with potato

fathom ice
#

nah is free

frail heart
#

and tank

errant dome
#

i mean its not rlly worth mostly cause of the hp loss

fathom ice
#

tank is also free

errant dome
#

ammo is whatever

fathom ice
#

u have a door so

frail heart
#

ammo

#

and health

#

dont kill pmom

#

only tank is mandatory

fathom ice
#

bunch of skill issues

#

in my chat

errant dome
#

no u

fathom ice
#

me when i make a 30 minute clear an hour long

frail heart
#

killing pmom is just a troll

errant dome
#

but my dmg!

fathom ice
errant dome
#

there is no real reason 2 do so tho i do agree with that

tardy ingot
fathom ice
#

was it foam for solo

prime musk
#

yeah that's the strat but sneaking scouts if they're killable is just more pain than it's worth usually

sturdy glen
#

it is defo foam

errant dome
#

or just foam it

prime musk
errant dome
#

im assuming u mean the 1scout 2 giant room

fathom ice
#

ngl foam looks a bit cooked

#

esp if u carry med

#

if u carry ammo it's fine ig

sturdy glen
#

what other tool are you bringing??

fathom ice
#

sentry prob

sturdy glen
#

for what

#

wtf is sentry gonna do

fathom ice
#

both class 5's

#

if u don't have med it's actually tight ngl

#

wait

#

other way around

#

if ure carrying med

errant dome
#

its mostly giants for 1st class 5 no?

fathom ice
#

star

#

i've had

errant dome
#

or are u sayin sniper sentry

fathom ice
#

i was playing bingo

#

and everyone was wiping on that class 5

#

with a bot

errant dome
#

i mean

fathom ice
#

is pretty jukt

errant dome
#

thats more so cause everyone was trying 2 go fast

fathom ice
#

was it really

#

man idk

#

i just saw 3 wipes in a row

#

it was pretty cooked

errant dome
#

i wasnt there so shrug but usually it is

sturdy glen
#

I feel like its not actually that bad but ive never tried it so idk

frail heart
#

you get no tool so like foam doesnt do that much

prime musk
#

i have never been so tilted as by a2 secondary this is kinda funny

fathom ice
#

what happened

prime musk
#

im dying in secondary because the class 5 sucks

#

the shooters are just awful

fathom ice
#

avg

prime musk
#

sentry runs out just as smalls come out

#

and then there's just 10 fucking shooters

fathom ice
#

it's probably a don't use sentry on first class 5 angle or smth

#

but it feels miserable

prime musk
#

i don't use sentry on first class 5

#

or for mom

#

it's at 67

fathom ice
#

how is it running out then??

prime musk
#

BECAUSE IT'S 3 BIG REDS

fathom ice
#

still tho

prime musk
#

ig i gotta stand in scan when i fight potato

fathom ice
#

it shoots for like 2 mins straight at 67

prime musk
#

i step out for like 12 sec to kill it

fathom ice
#

u just flank it and double scatter plus sawed off kills i think

prime musk
#

im stupid ofc it takes back dmg

fathom ice
#

good morning

flat oar
#

morning?

burnt inlet
#

Good morning

prime musk
#

sky im afraid to inform you 67% burst sentry lasts just over a minute

fathom ice
#

i mean if it shoot potato for half an hour

#

prob

#

ngl

prime musk
#

no like given 67% it can shoot for 1 minute and like 3 seconds

fathom ice
#

should've took sniper sentry

prime musk
#

maybe i should have taken sniper sentry yeah

fathom ice
#

ur sawed off scatter anw

#

as tru told me no point in partial kills

prime musk
#

naw im hel revo scatter because first alarm sucks bad without

fathom ice
#

could've done sawed off hel rifle prob

#

I think u carry ammo with u anw

prime musk
#

if you carry ammo it might be a hel rifle angle

fathom ice
#

like

#

if u play safe

#

ur near to full health wise to alarm

prime musk
#

yeah

fathom ice
#

am just gives u more space

prime musk
#

i'd try it except im not redoing the alarm because it's ass

fathom ice
#

yeah fair

prime musk
#

such a fun reset, half the time is spent waiting for scout to cooperate and for mom to cooperate

fathom ice
#

i mean

#

u can just kill birth

#

u lose like 20% hp prob

prime musk
#

mom takes like no time in comparison to scout

#

but it is more waiting

fathom ice
#

which scout

#

n?

prime musk
#

nm scout

fathom ice
#

yr

#

it depends on it's pathing

#

like sometimes it'd go very far into the room

#

and it's like free to sneak

#

iidr if giants are always at the same spot

prime musk
#

i have no clue all i know is that the scout can take like 15 minutes to be reasonable

fathom ice
#

idk it took me a minute when we were doing bingo

prime musk
#

yeah sometimes it works immediately

fathom ice
#

prolly u have really bad pathing

prime musk
#

sometimes it's on top of giants forever

civic wave
#

what if we raced to die to the potato in bingo?

fathom ice
#

oh well

#

you would've won

frail heart
fathom ice
civic wave
#

i am simply the best

fathom ice
#

^^^^^

#

tbf maybe I was having a bit too much fun

#

since I fully shot the first room for no reason

#

with a scout pull

#

but anw

civic wave
#

doesn't matter that much

fathom ice
#

it takes time

#

is the point

#

but I didn't care much

civic wave
#

me neither, bingo is just bingo and is not a mark of player skill

fathom ice
#

ye

civic wave
#

but damn i still got shafted

fathom ice
#

u got sniped for half the squares

frail heart
#

no it is 100% a mark of player skill and i am the best

fathom ice
#

avg

prime musk
#

ok team im just never finishing r8 this sucks

frail heart
#

do main only or something

prime musk
#

naw i can't be cringe like that

fathom ice
#

are room scans mandatory for main?

#

or nah

#

2nd one is actually scary

or at least it felt like it

#

should i do secondary before bringing the cryo to the extraction point or can i leave them there whilst i do secondary? (R4A2 do not elaborate)

prime musk
#

placing both of the cases in extraction scan will start an error/extraction alarm, so leave one out until you are ready to extract

#

(but you might as well bring it close to scan)

burnt inlet
#

should i do overload before secondary?

prime musk
#

if you do secondary first , you do not get access to overload.

oh yea lol i didnt start it

god i love it when my bots get stuck during a level 3 cluster alarm

do the non 1 levels in r7 have lore stuff? like ik r7a1,b1,c1 have schaeffers voice lines and stuff, so do the other levels in this rundown do too? like r7b2 r7c2 etc

or something cool and different like the grabber/snatcher thing in r7c1

they are technically optional missions

are cscouts taller than regular chargers or is it just an optical illusion

civic wave

they are a touch bigger

ocean spindle

:O i knew it i was just doubting myself

#

thanks

do chargeds have more resitance to foam or is it the same as aaa normal stroiker

i could open the game but pls save me from not havin to do that

flat oar

charger have 6 foam hp striker and shooter 4

yeah they also get foamed for 6 seconds unlike strikers that get foamed for 8 seconds

Me and my friends have been slamming our heads into r2d2 and getting bodied pretty hard. After ~6hrs we finished wave 6 and started the class 4 scan in the far right room (zone 195?). We tend to get smoked on the scan pretty hard due to low resources. Our normal sentry setup is 2 in the middle of the bridge and one facing the back. During the first 5 waves when all come from the front everyone sits on bridge and defends, when they start coming from the rear terminal man watches that and calls for support when they start coming. The two big clearers alternate advancing forward with shotguns to kill big shooters and normal bigs. For areas with scouts backliner snipes one of them then we all fall back and use mine + door + cfoam if we found some to kill wave.
Any tips/advice or are we just getting skill issued?

terminal/feet clearer: carbine, heavy assault, tracker
big clearer 1: heavy SMG, choke mod shotgun, burst sentry
big clearer 2: hel revolver, choke mod shotgun, burst sentry
backliner: PDW, precision rifle, burst sentry
ocean spindle
#

uuu should start learning how to run melee for scouts. if ur runnin low on res u need to save urself the ammo so someone that knows how to run ahead and kill it and then coontinue melee is ideal

#

personally i would get rid of at least one chokemod, maybe a hel rifle in its place

flat oar
#

first of all do your team aware of "fall off" dmg its one of the main reason that you dont have enough ammo

ocean spindle
#

if u wanna rlly go meta i would her rid of HAR too for something like idk, hel gun or welp- even just the veruta if they rlly love autos

digital mural
#

HAR user
Based

ocean spindle
#

yeh but aa for d2 no

#

the recoil will kinda ruin u

#

and its like the only gun that has real ammo problems

digital mural
#

I would just throw away all of the chokes and har

#

And get BC,Hel gun or hel rifle instead

whole summit
ocean spindle
#

but its still not very ideal- some practice for faster stealth would work pretty well for this, like knowin how to walk up to enemies and kill them before they scream so u arent in such a time crunch and thus maybe more relaxed to melee the scout

tardy ingot
tardy ingot
#

but for Code 6... uh yea, dont shoot the scouts unless there seems to be no other way (if multiple are still alive)

#

uhhh its still a shotgun so not that far

no?

(its 15 meters before fall off)

#

choke mod has pretty generous range

#

Slendi misinfo

tardy ingot
#

the gun is still subpar and is heavily role crept

#

theres like barely ever a reason to pick it

frail heart
#

choke mods one good thing is that it has good range for a shotgun

#

Get a Burst Cannon

tardy ingot
#

hel rifle, burst cannon, scattergun etc etc all exist

whole summit

#

maybe im exaggerating with the pelltet distribution its been a long time since i played it

#

im sorryy

ocean spindle

ocean spindle
#

its a gun more like pistol, take ur shots

#

cant spray it

whole summit
flat oar
tardy ingot
whole summit
#

yeah i mostly use it as a one tap gun not a spray, but ill switch to something else next time

tardy ingot
#

(also getting close rly isnt an issue USUALLY. In R2D2 scatter is not that good of a pick)

ocean spindle
#

the other option here is skipping d2 :] and just going to r3 cuz its easier

flat oar
#

sniper for the win

digital mural
#

Sniper ๐Ÿคฎ

tardy ingot
#

sniper can have good value on r2d2
if the other players dont shoot giant heads
if the player can hit giant heads
if the player ammo balances correctly
if you dont pick other giant clear (like burst cannon) unnecessarily

whole summit
flat oar
#

mainly i give up shooting giant and focus on hybrid

tardy ingot
mossy heron
#

dumb question, I want to run some tests, there's no way to give ourselvse specific boosters ? (not gonna cheese the game, I finished it already dont worry)

tardy ingot
#

burst cannon is just a good simple anti giant option. But as said, if your teammate running it has aim and everyone else avoids shooting giant heads, then Sniper can do good

flat oar
#

not many map use sniper this effectively

tardy ingot
#

oh also @whole summit with hel rifle (or rather all guns that arent the Sniper), do not shoot giant striker heads

flat oar
whole summit

#

ah i was thinking of hel gun

tardy ingot
#

the only gun that shares a name is the machine gun (hence it being differentiated between veruta and arbalist)

ocean spindle
#

me when "theres 3 snipers" AAAAAAAAA

tardy ingot
#

well, at least if you play in english

#

in german for example hel rifle and gun are the same
mgs are the same
3 shotguns are the same

SCHROTFLINTE

ocean spindle
#

thank u so much portuguese

whole summit
#

ok, ill see what i can do for switching people to HEL Rifle/burst cannon. as for main/tool do those make sense?

#

we tried using a shotgun sentry way in the front to thin out waves, it didnt stick around too long though

flat oar
#

you can use 2 burst sentry and 1 sniper sentry

ocean spindle
#

shottie sentry is unbased sadly

#

:[

tardy ingot
ocean spindle
#

it is useful to also remember that all these are like for extreme efficiency of loadouts if u take pdw to r3a1 u will not get slaughtered its only cuz ur strugglin so go meta

tardy ingot
#

ya

#

also, if you clear R2D2

#

just skip R2E1

#

ngl

whole summit
#

i get it, its mostly because i know how my friends will react because they know and like how the guns feel and are gonna be resistent to change

whole summit
#

R2D1 took us like 13 hours or something (granted it was 2 players 2 bots) but after this hell we can move on to the D stages of R3

Is the matchmaking for this game just garbage? You cant matchmake for the specific mission your trying to play

craggy pier

#

matchmaking came after the discord and didn't manage to supercede it

minor fractal
#

It is probably a loadout issue

craggy pier
flat oar
#

is it used to be better in OG ?

civic wave
#

with the way the game is nowadays and the few amount of people clicking matchmake, the compromise was made to make the level search more general just so you could find a level

I think if you're recommending DMR, HEL Autopistol is also good

hmm, devs kinda shot themselves in the foot with that system, but i will give this discord a go and hopefully get some non asshole people to play with

It's just a bit niche

main: DMR / carbine / sawed off / HEL revo

Veruta is not good, but it and Revo are very playable on R2D2

we generally just call that wave clearing

#

is it not overkill to use hel rifle on little guys?

tardy ingot
#

not rly

safe cradle
#

So you often get double if not triple kills

tardy ingot
#

even without getting penetration you are likely just as efficient as you are with heavy ar, but it takes far less aim and time

#

and then you also have pen. So any extra enemy tagged behind the first is more value

whole summit

ok noted, the few times i have run rifle i always saved it for bigs

if you're struggling you can alarm cancel all the hard alarms

how big are the uplink waves

fathom ice
#

3 every 15 was it

#

or 10

prime musk
#

the uplinks are short so you can set up final code before you have to shoot pretty much

#

then you kite away and the tiles are really good (enemy movement is slow)

#

and then there are good door setups for turning around and getting back to uplink terms

prime musk

the class 2 and other class 3 are ez but cancelling is easier than playing them if you know kiting basics

3 roles could work better imo, but idk how the time is gonna be set for the middle one

20 25 50 was the thought

somewhere around there

  • clear level (wow a speedrun competition with that wowe)
  • moderate speed

tardy ingot

I was on r8e2 rn especially

sturdy glen

this should be stemming from ray asking I think

which was r5e1 in mind

sturdy dew

my thoughts for the times would be

WR pace - Challenge Sage

Somewhat above average speedrun pace - New role

Beat my time for the level - "Speed"runner

sturdy dew

WR pace would be funny

Without quotation marks

sturdy dew

i thought of that but i dunno

might be too boring

might make the new role the WR pace one too

and then name it summin like "Doesnt touch grass"

For the e tiers all the runs on src rn are the WRโ€™s

For r5e1, could have one time need 2-2 split or something

its kinda hard to force 2-2 cuz its not always super time positive

so idc either way

#

Just to advocate for the 3rd role a bit

#

The idea is just that even in the R3D1 comp, there was a big gap between teams w/ players who could hit the goal time over and over again, and teams that could grind most of the week and never hit it.

#

Having a hard time and an intermediate time lets the comp have incentives for the already very competent teams to go for a time that's actually somewhat hard, while intermediate teams that are skill progging on the level have a target time that they can actually hit with a reasonable amount of effort.

#

If it's just one of those times, either experienced teams will be able to exceed the time goal every single run because it's really easy, or intermediate teams have a very low chance of making any kind of progress, even if they put in a lot of work to learn the level and improve PBs.

What is the best main to pair w/ scattergun?

tardy ingot

Generally: Sawed Off (since its the best main)

To get general small clear but with range: hel revolver

usually the question to what main pairs well with x special just leads to the best mains anyway

how did sawed off getting +1 magic bullet propel it from people considering it to be B or C tier power to simply the best even if your special is a shotty?

Personally i would say slug, but it Has some legitemate downsides

crisp salmon
tiny wyvern
#

Just use more of them tbh

#

Almost all of them are fine

#

Once you learn them well enough a good 75% are viable all the time

tardy ingot
#

Hel auto sentry is legit good if used correctly. You just need to know HOW

tiny wyvern
#

The other 25% would be more situational, level-centered picks

tardy ingot
#

like, unironically in the right situation its stupidly good

crisp salmon
tardy ingot
tiny wyvern
#

It can work well

#

Just needs good placement
...Well, sometimes

#

Sometimes it just overshoots and misses half its clip anyways

#

It's mathematically bad

tardy ingot
#

Shotgun sentry is you gambling that it hits consistently

The insane part is that when shotgun sentry does well, its only as good as hel auto sentry roughly.
But shotgun sentry legit only does good 10% of the time

#

It shoots dead bodies 1-3 times

#

like wtf how dogshit can it be

grizzled patrol
tiny wyvern

sometimes it feels like it shoots in burst

today someone took CPU speed and shotty sentry and it legit missed like 7 shots as a striker ran by

It does that consistently

The brainworms have taken over spewing random words

native sun
# tardy ingot They arent tumors

They are tumors, back multi just interacts strangely with tumor damage capping. (Specifically the damage is capped before back multi is applied, though the tumor still 'takes' the bonus damage from back multi)

tardy ingot
native sun
#

E.g. 30% damage booster firing at 60 degrees (~1.75x back multi) should comfortably kill as
1.3 * 40.01 * 2.0025 * 1.75 ~= 182 which is bigger than 161 (Nightmare scout HP)
But it doesn't kill, because damage gets capped to 81 before back multi, so you instead only deal
81 * 1.75 = 141.75 < 161

neat owl
#

Nightmare scout only has a 1.75x back multi?

#

so i assume wiki is outdated as it says 2x back multi

Hi all, what do you think is better for r2e1 duo between burst and hel auto sentry? We've been running bio + mines but are considering bringing a sentry to make some of the later parts more manageable

errant dome
#

hel auto sentry by far

tiny wyvern
#

Don't listen to male pls, hel auto usually is best

#

For duos anyways afaik

errant dome
#

for most lvls u want burst or sniper

#

r2e1 is an exception

prime musk
#

hel auto sentry is the better choice.
an example run that uses it would be gerz and tru's run

errant dome
#

hel auto destroys on that lvl

shy tangle
#

Thank you! We've been relying on mines to save ammo but since we've gotten much better at killing it might be time to put them away for something better for alarms

tiny wyvern
#

(I much rather not risk that... suffering)

hardy grotto
#

if ur running hel auto you wanna place it so it gets back damage on enemies

prime musk
#

generally you want to gear around clearing the hardest sections of the level since you don't have much loadout flexibility in duos, and for r2e1 that would the the two alarms at the end of the level

#

(and hel auto is the best tool for it really)

shy tangle
#

We just started getting to that point, so I'm sure we'll improve our gameplan as we get more familiar with it. I'll try a couple mineless runs to get used to it

prime musk
#

assuming you're shooting the shadow stuff, remember you can run away. a lot. shadows are slow, so shooting a bit and retreating early can save a lot of health

tiny wyvern
#

Is mineless a good idea
(idk I haven't ran duos for more difficult levels)
(I suppose bio is really useful)

prime musk
#

same goes for blood door when you don't have mines

shy tangle
#

Really it's a learning game of finding our chokepoints to clear enemies from (especially hybrid waves)

prime musk
shy tangle
prime musk
#

running to door is good, my point is that shooting a few enemies there and retreating further lowers the pressure even further since shadows are slow

#

the key is retreating before getting overwhelmed and sacrificing health, since space is a resource that is "free"

shy tangle
#

Oh yeah we do that all the time. Since I'm running double shotgun I hide behind chokepoints, take a couple shots and run away to the next chokepoint while my duo shoots from longer distance

prime musk
#

wowies good strats

#

i think with sentry you have this in the bag if you made it to error with just mines

shy tangle
#

We've died too many times to stealth meleeing bigs in floodlights

prime musk
#

10m rule when shooting!!

shy tangle
#

But that's like... really cheesy

prime musk
#

using 10m riule isn't really cheesy

#

it's just enemy knowledge

#

like "how do i fight this enemy"
using the specifics of its behaviour to your advantage is just playing well

shy tangle
#

I think our main issue health-wise actually is hybrids

prime musk
#

what ranged weapon is your duo partner bringing?

shy tangle
#

Precision rifle, they prefer it over PDW

prime musk
#

pr isn't bad but it's has kinda low dmg
into hybrids you need 8 headshots and 1 bodyshot to kill

#

realistically you have to inbetween scans burst it down with close range weapons while keeping it staggered on scan, or swap to a higher-damage option

shy tangle
#

Do they also respawn on alarms like the smalls?

prime musk
#

they do

#

the way the hybrids are programmed on 2nd alarm in r2e1, is that they replace shooters in the waves

shy tangle
#

Good to know

shy tangle
#

We'll figure out how to clean up that 2nd alarm, it's always been a bit of a problem because of the hybrids

prime musk
tardy ingot
#

hybrids have 150 hp
you do 13 x 2 x 1,3 dmg per headshot

prime musk
#

i forgor that hybrids have 2x head mult

grizzled patrol

#

you 5 shot on headshots

for R8E2, is there anyway to get the tanks during reactor waves to show up more consistently? one really good run we had yesterday got ended cuz the tank from wave 2 decided to show up 20 seconds into the start of wave 3, then those 3 tanks all showed up within 15 secs. was pretty frustrating -__-
