Also - how is PDW as a weapon, out of curiosity?

spark wolf
#

its good but i never use it cuz the thermal scopes make me sick

umbral elbow
#

And also curious about heavy SMG!

#

Thermals are def cool on my dark laptop screen, ehe

spark wolf
#

but i think the thermals are not that good in fog? or it was changed maybe

frigid obsidian
#

You can, but something you find real fast with the knife is just how aggressive you can be when clearing rooms in stealth. Running it a bit has given me so much more confidence, even when I'm using other weapons.
I can't believe that for 40 hours my friends and I were so nervous we'd call out even when enemies are glowing.

#

If you haven't messed with it, you really should. It's insane what you can get away with.

umbral elbow

#

just 1/3 charge and kill them

frigid obsidian
#

Though something I do wonder about with stealth, does the "sound" of the kill come from the player's location, or the location of the enemy?

rocky torrent
#

as long as you dont aggro like scout youre chilling

umbral elbow
#

I'm def the most "methed up weasel" of the group and wish to do better at this role

#

I want to sprint into a room with fog to clear it with minimal regard for life or limb, ehehe

rocky torrent
#

just make sure you have someone on the bioscanner lol

frigid obsidian
# umbral elbow Yeah I wanna learn aggressive stealth!

The biggest tip I can give you is to not panic when you aggro an enemy. If you sprint, you will auto-trigger everything nearby. As long as you can hit them, or bait them into trying to hit you, they won't scream and wake the room.

frigid obsidian
#

I've dropped groups of 4 with the spear solo without aggroing the room, just gotta be willing to use the push and to resist the urge to run.

umbral elbow
#

I've gotten decent at doubles and can occasionally do triples

frigid obsidian
#

Right mouse is a shove when you aren't charging, this'll stagger and stop a scream

umbral elbow
#

Ah shoves! Right

#

When should one shove?

frigid obsidian
#

For me, it's when they're aggro and not winding up an attack, you can do so right away before charging your next hit if you're doing a risky double.

#

I'm sure there's a greater method to the madness, I've only been doing aggro stealth for a few gameplay hours now and know I can be even more blatant with practice

spark wolf
#

you can jump and then sprint for a short period without instant wake up

#

if you need to cover slightly more distance quickly

frigid obsidian
#

Oh? Hey, that's great to know!

rocky torrent
#

is R1D1 considered a hard level or is it just my inexperience?

umbral elbow

But yes I wish to learn to murder for victory is secondary to body count

wasting all my bullets

#

and the bots being fucking stupid

meager mortar
#

r1d1 is awful if you're getting all the logs though. not hard, just like, way longer than it should be

spark wolf
#

the main strength of full autos is supressing wave by swapping between enemies on their stagger rather than on kill

umbral elbow
#

Oh wait

#

Which levels have lore logs?

meager mortar
#

uh

fathom ice
#

all levels

umbral elbow
#

I mostly have just seen reactor logs

fathom ice
meager mortar
#

most of them have lore logs but it's common to have an external tool to track the achievement progress

fathom ice
umbral elbow
#

Ah ok

fathom ice
#

most of them do

#

like 85% prob

#

nvm

#

it's only r1a1 and r1c1 and r2b3 without logs

rocky torrent
#

what r peoples opinions on the shotgun sentry?

fathom ice
#

it's the worst

umbral elbow
rocky torrent
#

fuck

#

i love it so much tho 😭

tardy ingot
meager mortar
#

most of them don't require any detour. some of them are in zones that have RNG elements on whether or not the zones are required. a few of them are notorious for basically throwing the run to try and grab

umbral elbow
#

Wew, that bad?

rocky torrent

#

i assume best is burst then

#

for stagger?

tardy ingot
#

what

umbral elbow
tardy ingot
rocky torrent
#

like the best sentry is burst because it staggers enemies while being more conservative on ammo

tardy ingot
#

even hel auto sentry isnt used for stagger when its used

rocky torrent
#

i guess you have to micro the turret right?

#

i find even when theres a wave it just magdumps on the first half of the wave

meager mortar
# umbral elbow Logs

its only a hnadful of logs. most of the time your probably is gonna be that a mission really presses you for time and the mcguffin you need isnt in the same zone as the log you need.

umbral elbow
#

Micro turret???

rocky torrent
#

and then im fucked when the rest of them get to the choke

rocky torrent
#

nah i was thinking of the hel sentry

fathom ice
#

it does magdump

#

it's a placement game

umbral elbow
#

I have just learned of the r2c2 gimmick yesterday, wwww

fathom ice
#

just take burst

rocky torrent
#

i suppose but its not great value until the meat of the wave gets there

tardy ingot
meager mortar
# umbral elbow Ahhh ok

there's also a handful of funny levels that prevent you from backtracking and make those logs inaccessable once you leave the area

civic wave
#

what levels prevent you from backtracking

umbral elbow
#

Ah goofy

civic wave
#

i can think of like

#

1 level

minor fractal
#

civic wave
#

and it's the very end of the level

umbral elbow
#

No spoilers if possible!

minor fractal
#

Which levels??

fathom ice
#

i'd never backtrack in r4e1

tardy ingot
fathom ice
#

or e2

#

or r5e1

#

or 7e1

#

damn that's a lot!

fathom ice
#

well it depends how much backtracking too prob

meager mortar
#

im reasonably certain r6d4

rocky torrent
#

thats neat

minor fractal
#

It's probably not worth it to

#

But you definitely can

fathom ice
#

ye

civic wave
#

ah yea i guess so with the gimmick of that level

fathom ice
#

r6d4 no?

minor fractal
#

||R6D4, R7C2, and R8D2|| are the only levels I can think of where you can't go back to a log.

umbral elbow
#

Also - is there a best way to use DTR?

rocky torrent
#

so on levels that are light on doors to cfoam/mine, i should stack 3 burst and 1 bio?

umbral elbow
#

To hit them right?

fathom ice
#

ohhh

#

yeah

fathom ice
#

and hit head plus body

umbral elbow
#

I got a few proper double taps and they're REALLY satisfying

#

What about on crawlers?

fathom ice
#

just head

meager mortar
#

||r8a2 by nature of how that secondary works,|| but thats a little different

minor fractal
#

I always pull down at shorter ranges, and sometimes let recoil aim at long range

umbral elbow
#

Lower head crawlers, body standers

umbral elbow
#

Don't shooters need 2 heads?

umbral elbow
#

Does DMR one shot on all small heads?

frail heart
#

no

#

only shooters

#

not strikers

#

strikers are 1 shot head and 1 shot body

ocean spindle
#

any main dmg booster will make it so it can

void kestrel
#

if you can use the DMR well you can use the revo

frail heart
meager mortar
#

the minimum value for main damage on a booster allows it to one shot to head

ocean spindle

fished

meager mortar
#

damn someone beat me to it

ocean spindle
#

tbh when u want a booster it appears once eveyr 70 years so
still searching for glowstick power

meager mortar
#

using boosters to hit one shot thresholds is a bit silly though. but someone did make the spreadsheet for it like two years ago, and power to them

ocean spindle
#

i mean its just like important with dmr cuz any will

#

and its a pretty big like line

#

or, word, idk i forgot how to say it

meager mortar
#

breakpoint

ocean spindle

the rest are like 15 20 50

that

#

thank u

meager mortar

i think its the only main that's just shy of a oneshot breakpoint but i've not looked at all of them

umbral elbow
tardy ingot

dmr is generally the better gun

#

dtr has a crazy ceiling tho

umbral elbow

Yeah it sounds like if you could get really good with dtr it'd be great

its not a main but i had to say it

#

#

ig hel shotty would be nuts up close

grizzled patrol
ocean spindle
#

in theory probs in practice is hard to tell

tardy ingot
#

if you account for pen its hel revo

ocean spindle
#

my gut says hel revo with lineups cuz its... more feasible

rocky torrent
#

i see

frigid obsidian
#

I'm still trying to figure out what combo I should be running. I'm really just trying to find what's comfortable for mobbing with plenty of bullets, then a secondary to drop whatever big guy is giving me the most trouble.

tardy ingot
#

if you dont but perfect play machine pp/dtr iirc

rocky torrent
#

i cant seem to get that much value out of hel weapons but im sure thats just a skissue

tardy ingot
#

or efficient for that part

meager mortar
#

if you have like +15% main damage on hel rev it also oneshots both shooters and strikers to head

frigid obsidian
#

I'm sure that with setup penetrating rounds is a game-changer, but at the same time I've probably only capitalized off it like, 10 times in all my hours so far.

#

Almost certainly skill issue on my end lol

rocky torrent
#

ive mostly been running like burst rifle and whatever the burst SMG is for main

#

and sniper special

#

i get that the sniper is bad from what ive read

tardy ingot
#

its rly rly niche

rocky torrent
#

and i do always find myself super high on ammo

#

and really fukn low on main ammo

ocean spindle
#

burst rifle my beloved

frigid obsidian
#

Burst pistol & carbine here, with either the sniper or scattergun. I was using the standard pistol a ton but it seems the burst pistol is more efficient?

rocky torrent
#

but when theres giants its so nice to just pop 10 of them in a row

void kestrel
#

PR > DTR and DMR

umbral elbow
meager mortar
#

i think under ideal circumstances you can make a strong case for hel revo or hel shotgun. if you cant land your shots then it's probably the sawed off

frigid obsidian
#

Idk, I could've sworn that the regular pistol was a two tap... but I'm only just coming back to the game after a very long time away. It might've been in the past, or I'm gaslighting myself.

4 round burst is carbine, its real solid

to be fair the carbine does look like a vector

grizzled patrol

# umbral elbow Too wild?

controlling the firerate, getting perfect accuracy and no overshooting is kinda... just not possible

umbral elbow
#

Understandable - machine gun meme moment?

frigid obsidian
#

I thought the burst pistol was just an objective downgrade at first, but with more use it I feel like it has my back when I get overwhelmed with enemies. I can just drop the sights, hip-fire whatever's rushing me and regain control of the situation.

meager mortar
#

i am a carbine appreciator. if you can hit at least one headshot out eight bullets(rest being body), you kill strikers and shooters in 8 bullets or less

tardy ingot
#

machine pistol has insanely high dmg per refill
its still not even a B tier main

Ping: Ping is a network utility used to measure the round-trip time it takes for a data packet to travel from your device to a server and back. It is often used to test the responsiveness of a network connection. The result is typically expressed in milliseconds (ms). A lower ping value indicates a faster and more responsive connection.
Latency: Latency is the time it takes for a data packet to travel from the sender to the receiver. It can be one-way or round-trip. In the context of network performance, latency is often used to describe the round-trip delay, which is similar to the ping measurement. However, latency can also refer to other delays in the system, such as processing delays on the server or client side. High latency can result in noticeable delays in real-time applications like online gaming or video streaming.

Bruh how do I do the quote thing on mobile

#

Dc mobile sucks

burnt inlet
meager mortar
#

anyways one of many reasons why scattergun is goofy and funny and great

burnt inlet
#

So it’s latency cuz we are doing S => steam server => R, R => steam server => S where S is sender and R is receiver

meager mortar
# frail saffron Anyone have any advice on how to do R2D2? Been attempting it for several days wi...

The bridge is a pretty safe hold for the entire mission, esp if you have a sentry pointed towards reactor room to alert you if something is coming. Once it's open, some people like to hold in the room just south of reactor and open the east door in the fog to funnel. Both are acceptable options, but the latter takes a while to get all the spawns to trickle to you, and it eats into your time.

Burn through your side room resources before resorting to the reactor resources. you can also rotate higher use resources into the reactor room if there's still stuff in there to swap with.

Terminal locations are consistent (which terminal has the code isn't), and the first key location is, too. The second key can be in one of two zones, so you want to figure out where you are going before it becomes important.

You're on a pretty brisk timetable, but if you know where the terminals are, you're going to have plenty of time to loot. Don't leave loot in zones you're not revisiting if you can help it.

Triggering scouts wont end your run, but being pinched between the scout wave and the room you just made angry absolutely can. there's not a ton of doors to work with at any point you'd encounter a scout though, so if one gets triggered you need to make sure someone is covering behind you.

Question on how scout waves work. Assume a scenario where there is one large room with 3 scouts and a lot of smalls. If I shoot so room wakes up then all scouts scream, the game will try to spawn 3 scouts waves. The game will still only spawn up to the max enemy count though right? Also do the smalls in the room count towards that max count?

errant dome
#

game will only spawn up to the max count correct, enemies in the room do count towards the cap, if enemies are capped then the scout waves will be on que (they'll spawn once you kill enough enemies)

whole summit
#

Ah ok, so a scout will always spawn its wave even if it is being currently capped?

errant dome
#

AFAIK yes

#

reactors also work in a similar manner

#

alarms are the main thing where if your on cap no more enemies can spawn and they dont que up

whole summit
#

That makes sense thanks

errant dome
#

max count is 25, tho enemies are weighted differently (strikers and shooters are 1, then giants iirc were 2)

whole summit
#

I see

#

I assume the enemies that ignore are boss/mini boss enemies?

errant dome
#

more or less ya, its a bit more nuanced than that but im not sure if you care about spoilers or not

whole summit
#

Nah I already spoiled myself

wild flare
#

You can block boss enemies spawn, if you sitting at enemy cap

safe cradle
#

so whenever they can, they're gonna spawn

#

reactors are the same BUT they have a different cap

#

as in, alarmcap is NOT reactorcap

#

I think the numbers are they same but they're parallel

whole summit
#

Gotcha

wild flare
#

Many solo runs use giant cap kiting strat, so new enemies will never spawn

errant dome
# whole summit Nah I already spoiled myself

If you dont mind spoilers: ||Mother and big mother have their own spawn cap separate from the global cap when they spawn babies, each indivdiual mom has their own caps as well, so it doesnt matter if you have 100+ enemies awake as long as mom doesnt have her cap of babies she can spawn more||

whole summit
#

Gadzooks

#

That's pretty nasty

errant dome
#

they have a decently long cooldown between spawning plus there are quite a few good baby clear weapons and boss shredding weapon so most of the time u can manage without issue

prime musk
whole summit
#

I'm a little sad my attempted cheese strat doesn't work but it makes sense why they do it that way

wild flare
#

Dont do this kind of strat tbh unless you are like HARD stuck or you play solo, long kiting and blocking enemy spawn because of it is boring imo

errant dome
prime musk
#

any enemy can be anything, 0.75, 1 or 2

#

but in almost all the spawnblocks, the weakling (0.75) role isn't used, and the bigs are given 2 and smalls 1

#

notable exceptions being in the hybrid surges, where hybrids are 1 (special role, replacing shooters) and things like r5e1 scout wave, where all roles are filled with bigs (so they have any value)

errant dome
#

i see

#

wasnt there 1.5 as well?

#

i thought thats what tanks usually have

prime musk
#

idt so

#

i haven't looked at room (sleeping) spawns, if they too can have different spawncap values but i assume it's the same system at play

hoary mason
prime musk
#

tanks aren't weighted 1.5

#

(at least not if sleeping enemies don't have different spawncap values)

errant dome
#

i remember having a convo here at some point and someone mentioned that tanks were 1.5 towards spawncap

#

well either way i doubt that 0.5 makes a diff like 99% of the time anyways

generelly you only care about the exact values when setting up a kite with sleeping enemies, but like

Im not sure since it was long ago when I used the bat

azure narwhal
#

is bat louder than other melees? i know knife is quiet but dont know about the others

#

one time i killed a sleeper with the bat and one that was like ~12 meters or something away woke up which is crazy to me

low radish
#

Yeah knife is quieter but I have no idea how loud the rest are

#

I think the rest might be the same value

tardy ingot
#

its just the % chance

#

all melees not called knife behave the same for this

azure narwhal
tardy ingot
#

knife simply has slightly lower trigger range on hitting objects (smashlocks or surfaces)

azure narwhal

oh thats it?

and the % ofc

where can i find the hp of specific limbs e.g. for the giant?

giant limbs are 40

oh wait

fuck I fell into it again

limbs are 15

i'm not falling into this again

Didn't delete the evidence

It's over for you buddy

fathom ice

šŸ˜”

azure narwhal
#

meant to answer to the one saying 15

civic wave
#

yeah each limb shares the same max hp value

#

strikers it's 5 iirc

#

giants 15

#

head counts as a limb

azure narwhal
fathom ice
#

it does remove a head

#

@azure narwhal knife hitbox is slightly below the actual circle so u prob wanna go for head always if giant is sleeping

#

cuz if not and it's winding tongue he'll extend his head making it very difficult to hit it

azure narwhal
#

okayyy (ill still go for it)

fathom ice

goat likely just confused stagger hp with limb hp

Same thing sky did lol

prime musk
#

team im labbing hel gun sentry e2 solo and i can't figure out the booster setup
muted dmg for 2tap on nm strikers forces aggressive bioscan if you want any, which locks you into bold supply
on the other hand, is the bioscan actually worth it (saves ~2 min of scan time best case scenario) compared to just aggressive main dmg for sawed off 1shot on nm strikers

also: when does a freshly woken up enemy alert and when does it attack? is it a fixed choice or a chance?

@tardy ingot I saw your recent video and was wondering why you advise against sentries on the outside of doors - also, does this change if c-foam is used?

cuz ur enemies are dying to a cfoam mine anyway

so ure just wasting tool

Is there any way to tweak gamma/brightness? One of my friends has had to change his monitor settings every time we go to play. I thought bro just didn't like the dark, but having seen it now his monitor is straight up 30% darker than mine.

tardy ingot

#

His long range flashlight tool is about equivalent to my pistol flashlight unless he changes his monitor's settings. It's pretty rough.

tardy ingot
#

does he have ambience fog?

frigid obsidian
#

Yeah, I'm not sure if there's a fix in tweaking that any.

#

I can see if we can maybe tweak his GPU settings, specifically for this game. I figured I'd ask if there's any hidden text file or whatever before going that far though.

thats kinda the strat tho

at very short ranges, no

Hello what is the worst gun to use other than autos?

#

Trying to screw my friends around to skill check them

fathom ice
#

is it a rifle angle

ocean spindle
#

uhh not being an auto is probs the burst pistol?

fathom ice
#

ohh right

ocean spindle
#

but on mains anything that is not an auto it works fine

keen path
#

the worst one community-agreed wise

ocean spindle
#

pistol rifle even slug is about fine

fathom ice
#

bp is prob worst

ocean spindle

yeah id say bp for mains is the worst

keen path

bp-sniper a fine loadout?

ocean spindle

on special short rifle

uhhh

yes

best loadout

thank u

they r gonna shoot like 3 enemies per alarm amazing

i mean we almost cleared

i had to yoink most of the ammos so

sounds bout right

and even then I got robbed for like 20 uses

he was late

did u hold like at drop or something

i bet my life savings someone stepeped out of the room and it just made him appear out much farther

i checked replay

he was in B of first class 6 zone so

oh ok no ideea then :D

it just happens sometimes

he was just sleeping

he was awake

just afk

for whatever reason

nah nah u dont kno it was taking a nap he just breatees very heavily while doing so

man trying to solo r3d1 with revo/revo stopped being fun

fathom ice
#

i keep getting a giant every wave

#

with 4 smalls

not playing it anymore

i want a clear with fun weapons but it isn't happening because the wave giants just force you to play something that can quickly kill them

r3d1 is a boring ass solo tbh

fathom ice
#

its kinda fun the first time

#

after is just

#

jukt

civic wave
#

you see there's the problem

#

i was around long enough to realise that solo sucks before ever touching r3d1 solo

#

so even the first time sucks

hard nexus
#

coop game sucks solo

#

who could have thought

fathom ice
#

fair

ocean spindle
#

duo is fun i like duo

prime musk
#

ngl the only reason solo sucks is that you're so much more vulnerable to rng

#

otherwise it's mostly fine

#

(apart from forced kiting strats or similar)

fathom ice
#

u can't shoot everything in solo

#

in duo u can

hard nexus
#

game not doable solo without crazy rng and/or explots

#

mostly fine

prime musk
#

yeah because like

fathom ice
#

it's like only r7e1 left i think

#

to figure out

hard nexus
#

dafuq is atp

prime musk
#

a majority of the levels are full clearable solo without any cheese at all

fathom ice
#

at this point

hard nexus
#

but majorty of levels doesnt count as a game

fathom ice
#

i mean

#

again it's just r7e1 left

prime musk
#

most of the levels = most of the game

#

what part about the word "mostly" do you not understand

hard nexus
#

(dont) come to steam forums and talk about it

#

nobody will understand

#

if one level isnt doable

#

gg

#

you lose the argument

prime musk
#

it is doable just no one has bothered to figure it out
with boosters it's probably not that hard compared to r4e1 or e2 solo either

fathom ice
#

ur reactor is fucked

hard nexus
#

its doable
no one has done it

fathom ice
#

ur s scan is fucked

hard nexus
#

pick one

prime musk
#

boosterless, even iirc

fathom ice
#

yeah what now

prime musk
#

are all the code hunt zones respawn

hard nexus
#

now we concede and wait for dow

fathom ice
#

yes

#

they are all

#

respawns

#

every room after stealth zones is a respawn

#

outside of 2 connector tiles and reactor

hard nexus
#

connector

#

that word triggers something in my mind

#

what map was it

civic wave
fathom ice
prime musk
#

code 1 is free (comparatively)
code 2 similarly
code 3 and 4 probably suck but you just get 3, reset wave, and clear it again no biggie with supply efficiency

hard nexus
fathom ice
#

same

hard nexus
#

to be honest i hate every map

fathom ice
#

from stealth zones

#

unless u run seeded

frail heart
#

in what?

#

4th?

fathom ice
#

7e1

#

ye

prime musk
#

why

fathom ice
#

cuz ur path is fucked

frail heart
#

room is quite free a lot of the time

#

no

#

its just babies scouts and boss

fathom ice
#

that's why u run seeded

#

cuz ure not rolling rng after all that work kek

prime musk
#

yeah and it's completely fine then

fathom ice
#

code 3 is prob worst

frail heart
#

what

fathom ice
#

ure pushing back into shadows

hard nexus
#

also

#

wtf is etch

fathom ice
#

it's kinda jukt

hard nexus
#

i got that code today in reactor

frail heart
fathom ice
#

like u clear shadow zone

#

u clear wave

#

u go grab code 3

prime musk
#

code 3 you're backtracking through code 2 zone

fathom ice
#

go back clear shadows again

#

yea

frail heart
#

why not fight in code 2

fathom ice
#

u do

#

it respawns

#

if u get code 3

frail heart
#

oh yeah i forgor

fathom ice
#

ye

#

so ure forced to repeat prob

#

and killing another tank

#

and if anything goes wrong it's cooked

prime musk
#

repeating doesn't matter because supply efficiency

fathom ice
#

u get

#

8 uses in reactor

#

that's it

#

or like 4 in reactor 4 in connector tile

prime musk
#

set seed you get all the ammo from code hunt zones

#

and all the ammo full stop

fathom ice
#

it's still 3 tanks ideally and a lot of stuff

#

its a crash out angle

#

its kinda about surviving too

#

idk it's unrealistic

#

u can do seeded reactor prob

#

but full run is jukt

frail heart
#

i think its more someone just hasnt tried it properly

#

I dont think its THAT bad

fathom ice
#

set seed and boosted is prob free

#

it's just a bunch of practice

#

but it's like not even interesting at this point

frail heart
#

honestly just boosters is probably fine

fathom ice
#

ye

frail heart
#

i think biggest ammo is code 3 prob

prime musk
#

probably supply/supply/infection resist

fathom ice
#

i mean there's not much else to bring honestly

frail heart
#

yeah

#

yeah idk with bio i dont think its that bad

prime musk
#

it's either a bio or mines angle

frail heart
#

i think bio

#

is 100% the play

fathom ice
#

i don't see mines use

prime musk
#

free tank kills

fathom ice
#

and u get e trips anyway

#

nah

frail heart
#

you can mine off reactor waves for 1

fathom ice
#

u get like 2 e mines tho

#

it's enough for 2 spawns

#

bio just carries

#

the whole level prob

frail heart
#

e mines?

fathom ice
#

ye

#

consumable mines

frail heart
#

i mean if you take mines

#

you can mine off reactor waves

fathom ice
#

u lose door at some point prob

frail heart
#

yeah

#

but you mine all of wave one

#

you dont need to any other wave

fathom ice
#

i mean wave one is

#

48 strikers

#

and 4 hybrids

#

and u get an e mine

#

so u kill 24 strikers

#

idk

#

it's just a bad level for solo

#

and no one cares anyway

frail heart
#

yeah we do

#

somewhat

#

thats why we did shit for e2

fathom ice
#

e2 is kinda diff

#

has that last level in the game vibe

rlly moree than getting yelled- cuz that only happens if u do things on very late levels and if ur like rude or something- its getting carried

is silent shooting when you shoot when a door opens/closes?

civic wave
#

that's one way to do it

#

the other is being client, swinging melee, instantly swapping to gun and shooting, then swapping back to melee

burnt inlet
#

its considered a bug right?

void kestrel
#

That sounds riskier than just shooting lol

burnt inlet
#

yea kinda lol

tardy ingot
#

You rly dont need to swing melee

Its just going from a slot that doesnt make a sound to one that can (and back just in case usually) to have the game not realize you made the sound (only works for clients)

#

You can also do the reverse by swapping from a gun to something else and wake up rooms without having shot (at least with cfoam KEKW ) aka a reverse silent shot

civic wave
#

^^

#

but swinging melee is consistent

errant dome
tardy ingot

seen as a glitch in speedrunning too (the broken version at least, abusing doors is allowed)

is there any documentation that explains where to place the in bounds mines for orientation?

from kennys pov you can see some of the mines (I linked it in my run)

when you say you changed the route
do you mean the OOB route or the in bounds route
