Are you soloing?

lrf / bio solos that zone

I use my flashlight, they wake up, I wait until they go back to sleep, I swing

#

Because I need to check for each one I can't just run between them like enemies I can see

you don't have to play perfectly safe ngl

cuz most of the time there's a bunch of lone shadows

Funi level

safe cradle
#

For all the R4C2s I did with pugs I just foamed the shit out of the doors in the Overload zone then foamed at the bulkheads since they're chokes

tardy ingot
#

2 hel auto sentries carry

#

the surges quite well

burnt inlet
safe cradle
#

Mining makes zero sense because shadows will take aeons to take to you if they spawn behind

tardy ingot
#

yea you just kinda close doors behind

#

dont even rly need foam

safe cradle
#

So bla bla bla, spawn cap etc

burnt inlet
#

I remember we dealt with the triple surge room via shooting scout and mining a door further back and just killing most of the shadows that way

safe cradle
#

Pointless IMHO unless your team was really down for ammo

#

There ain't THAT many enemies there

burnt inlet
#

Maybe it was the room before cuz it was that many😭

safe cradle
#

And the next avaiable door is... kinda far

#

unless you didnt use the door near the bulkhead for secondary

burnt inlet
#

Nah we used that for the alarm

safe cradle
#

Point is, whenever you consider pulling a room, think about how many sleepers you can kill without alerting the scout or scouts

#

Like, ones that are risk free

burnt inlet
#

11B room

safe cradle
#

I'll admit that sometimes rooms like that are a pain because the entrypoint is a catwalk with a staircase

#

but I usually try to kill some shit before going "yeah, i'll shoot the scout"

burnt inlet
#

Nah but we didn’t want to go into that room cuz it got a lot of shadows covering the entrance usually and shooting the scout is easier than clearing it

safe cradle
#

yeah if the entrance is fucked I guess pulling makes sense

burnt inlet
#

The like 3 times I got there it was always fucked

safe cradle
#

I dont think you needed to go back to a door to mine it, but whatever, that's like 5 mins who cares

burnt inlet
#

Like at least 6 near door and cba with that

burnt inlet
tardy ingot
#

melee

#

especially with the triple surge room

safe cradle
tardy ingot
#

enemies take a while to get to the door

#

so you typically only see a few at the same time

#

since shadows are so slow

supple axle
burnt inlet
#

I mean I did clear the first like 10 to not preemptively break down the door but then came like 25 and cba with that

safe cradle
#

ah you mean to clear Overload?

supple axle
burnt inlet
#

Just to be clear team its 54 we all thinking of right?

safe cradle
#

I'd just melee unless I know room has a big shadow

tardy ingot
#

yea at that point you just shoot the rooms

#

they are rarely that packed

safe cradle
#

if big shadow, I shoot and that's it

#

If you're not comfortable with shadow scouts I'd also rather shoot them tbh

#

but I'd leave door open

burnt inlet
safe cradle
#

what kills groups of pugs in R4C2 is 1- The surges. 2- The end error alarm of shadows.

supple axle
#

So there's no fast way to clear a shadow room with stealth then
Bio or thermal or flashlight

burnt inlet
#

Also it was like 4 am I really didn’t want to lose when I did the mine Strat😭

supple axle
#

Or just alert all of them and gun them down

supple axle
safe cradle
#

I mean you usually either get fast or safe

burnt inlet

And sound

#

flashlight to ground too

burnt inlet
#

If ur not on thermal/bio

safe cradle
#

I'll give you a tip

#

forget they're shadows

#

pretend your game is bugged and you cant see them

#

same for shadow scouts

#

pretend they're glitched texture missing scouts with a funny hat

Shadow scouts sound hard but is actually not that bad

and hit the funny hat

audio is pretty huge for knowing where enemies are and roughly how many are about

footsteps / shadows

civic wave
#

i can pretty well navigate a room of shadows using only audio, and it'd only be slow if i wanted it to be by absolutely trying to avoid long range aggro

burnt inlet
#

Also keep ur weapon charged

Whenever shadows show up next, I'll try the shining at their feet thing to not wake them

And hit

#

you'll figure it out eventually

#

and even then hammer has more range than that from my anecdotal experience

burnt inlet
#

Guys pick spears for shadows trust

safe cradle
#

you dont need anything that isn't an hammer

supple axle
supple axle
#

Just annoying to do it slow or loud or need a thermal or need a bio
Wiki says next time I'll see them is R4D2 so I'll do the flashlight to the foot thing

safe cradle
#

I think shadows to whatever was the lowest was REALLY bad

supple axle
#

Yeah I recently changed my settings because I realized my settings made it impossible to see with flashlight

safe cradle
#

If you want to get used to shadows easier, faster is to drop in R5D2 but I get that you probably didnt unlock it yet

supple axle
burnt inlet
#

Don’t like that level at all

supple axle
#

I've heard R5 is where a difficulty spike is, not sure what level

#

C3?

tardy ingot
#

compared to earlier rundown levels? not rly

#

R2E1 and R4E1 outclass everything R5 has bar R5E1 pretty much

safe cradle
#

Consider also that the weapon you have equipped has different flashlights

burnt inlet
tardy ingot
#

R5 as a whole is just often a bit higher in difficulty per tier (especially C tiers) and even moreso with optionals (in A tiers and B tiers)

safe cradle
#

Melee flash is shit, Carbine flashlight is very very nice to see shadows

burnt inlet
#

But like most A tiers are ez af cuz they’re the intro

tardy ingot
#

main only yea

burnt inlet
#

Oh yes

supple axle
tardy ingot
#

R5 is very very polarizing with how well its designed

levels are typically either rly well or badly designed

safe cradle
supple axle
#

Looking at R5E1, TIL 101+% infection resist lowers infection in the fog

burnt inlet
#

R5B1 prisonerefficiency is pain

supple axle
#

That's hilarious

safe cradle
#

R5 is bad just because some maps are annoying and long in a certain combination

#

R5C2, R5D1 especially...

#

I also do not really like much R5C1 but it's okay map I guess

tardy ingot
#

R5C2 at least is fun throughout the optionals

#

R5C1 is uplink issue man :(

the idea of the level is actually quite cool
outside of the objective itself that is

#

What's the proper way to avoid proximity aggro from killing an enemy by bumping them beforehand?
I bumped an enemy and then killed them but a nearby enemy still got aggro'd

ocean spindle
#

so i would simply not try to bump it unless u wanna FORCE long aggro

supple axle
ocean spindle
#

wait did i undeerstand wrong

#

do u mean like, prevnting two enemies that are super close from waking up?

#

is that what u mean by proximity aggro?

supple axle
#

When you kill one, normally anything within like, 5 meters wakes up

ocean spindle
#

prox aggro is not hold by chance, its by distance, u cannot prevent an enemy that is kissin another from not waking up

#

its a yes or no condition and u just deeal around it

supple axle
#

There're definitely ways to avoid it, I was under the impression bumping was one of them

ocean spindle
#

long range aggro is the one where enemies that are slightly at a distance wake up when they are glowin, and something happens around them (like killing a buddy)

supple axle
#

The other one I'm sure of is more annoying, where you kill a long aggro'd enemy
That enemy can't trigger proximity aggro itself

ocean spindle
#

but that means u need a "triangle" formatiion

#

D4rkeva explains it very well on his stealth guide

supple axle
#

Another way is hitting the ground near an enemy

#

Then killing that enemy

ocean spindle
#

theres even a more important question to

#

why

#

most times u shoot or kill one and then the other silently

supple axle
#

The why doesn't really matter, I know there's something with bumping and I'm either misunderstanding its effects or how to do it

ocean spindle
#

the thing is probs bump forces long rangee aggro, so with the triangle formation, u bump thee far-away eenemy, one of thee two in the close group wakes up, u kill it

#

bam

#

u prevented close range aggro

#

but it neeeds a setup and also effort that is unnecesary kinda

timber shoal
#

isn’t the purpose of bumping an enemy to prevent a long range aggro you can’t stop from screaming?

#

like you flash a nearby enemy and then bump-kill something near it in a room that isn’t synced up so the whole room doesn’t go up?

#

That was my understanding

burnt inlet
ocean spindle
#

thats the exact same thing i said

timber shoal
#

my fault g

#

my reading comprehension is piss poor rn

”stop them from screaming” and ”Whole room doesn’t go up” part was my reason for saying it

hum 3 Sentry + 1 bio tracker

# spark idol Hel auto (rad lab meduza)

The HEL Auto sentry has decent DPS, but on this level you really want longevity/efficiency.

For smalls, the best option is burst sentry, while to assist against the bigs in the level, sniper sentry is the way to go. Typically two bursts + one sniper sentry or one burst + two sniper sentries is the way to go.

spark idol
#

okok, I'll make a note of that

native sun
#

Where have you been defending the waves?

ocean spindle
#

(in general burst is better for most levels cuz it justs lasts 6 times more than auto
plus auto neeeds some specific strats to be eefficient)

If I remember correctly, this is what we do

1-4 : on bridge
5 : in a small hollow near a closed door in 195(?)
7 : in the driveway of 194 to pass the alarm as soon as possible to go to 195
8-9-10 : in a small hollow near a closed door in 195(?) (if possible)

we ended up falling to the ground

my group generally dies (except for exceptional catastrophic runs) around 6-9/10

ocean spindle
#

damn nevermind i was gonna say something but urr practically there

#

i guess ican say
oncee u do it, u should go straight to r3, dont bother with the e1

the E tiers are on a leeaguee of theiir own and u shoukd worry about those when u got 50-100 moree hours

# spark idol > what have you been typically dying to? most of our dead came from : • Lack of ...

Switching to burst/sniper sentries should help with the tool luckily.

Staying high on resources in this level is mostly down to fully looting every zone you go through, which mostly comes down to:

  • Having lots of time during your code hunt timer
  • Clearing the rooms quickly (don't be afraid to wake a room and spend some ammo to kill it quickly, you'll make the ammo back by being able to loot more)
  • Being familiar with pinging resources to actually find them quickly

Clearing the wave faster will also naturally help with dealing with enemies arriving after the wave.

So it sounds like most of your problems can be alleviated by clearing the waves faster to maximize your code hunt timer.

native sun
# spark idol If I remember correctly, this is what we do 1-4 : on bridge 5 : in a small ho...

However, the places you're holding are likely causing you issues in this regard.

Reactors spawn enemies... weirdly. Basically, the further away from reactor you are the further enemies will spawn away from you.
(Notable exception, on this particular level the first group of enemies will always spawn to the east of reactor)

As such, holding on the bridge is generally pretty good. You get to deal with the first wave of enemies super quickly, and you're not too far from reactor for the rest of the spawns. Also, when you do leave, you'll be forced to push through one of the sides of the reactor so you'll clean up extra enemies.

Holding in 196A isn't too bad, you start slightly behind due to the first wave, but it is a good hold spot.

#

I'd suggest trying to force holding on the bridge. If you find that this is shifting your problem towards getting overwhelmed by too many enemies at once, you can consider holding some waves in 196A. But I would strongly suggest against holding in 194 for that wave, instead, just head in that direction once the timer starts getting low.

Cue clip of me getting run over by an emperor charger

urban surge

i miss EA sm. funny shadow charger giants (granted its only on r2e1, r4 made them boring), funny rooms where every enemy from zone decided to spawn with scout there too, shadow scouts spawning in pairs.

og r2e1 is an experience, guns suck (we did it with 1 shotgun and 3 veruta machineguns), 3 good shotgun sentries (back damage and nice amount of ammo) is the only blessing. blood doors are overfilled with enemies, and if key spawns in locked locker right next to shadow giant you will need to kill like 10 of them. exit is a maze with a ton of enemies and couple scouts, very easy to get lost.

I threw it out as a guess

It wasnt a bold claim I promise

also they would also need the mod in most cases if it has custom thing added

Some cosmetic mods can work one way

The only mods that really need everyone to have them is rundowns, custom weapons and stuff like that

zed why are you awake

prime musk
#

what do you mean

#

im going to bed in like 1 or 2 hours

fathom ice
#

checks out

prime musk
#

are we running later

fathom ice
#

idk

#

same time as usual if i'd had to guess

frail heart
#

are you guys doing e2?

prime musk
#

probably

#

i think the times we actually want to improve are 5 and 8

#

2 is definitely the least pushed

#

but neither of us really wants to run it much i think

sturdy glen
#

has anyone tried scatter + bc for e2 duo yet

prime musk
#

i have ran it over pen a couple of times but never got a completion

frail heart
#

hmmm

prime musk
#

beth played bc a bit with hani too

frail heart
#

that'd be super sus

#

for first nm6

prime musk
#

the issue you run into is that bc doesn't give you any timesave outside of kraken really and is way harder to play

#

ammo is tighter too

prime musk
sturdy glen
#

I think it gives you timesave pretty much everywhere ngl

prime musk
#

not really but maybe im playing it badly

frail heart
#

yes!

prime musk
#

like reactor is reactor

#

it's timegated anyways and bc doesn't really get codes faster

#

it only makes you whiff scout kill in code 1

#

pmom is 1birth anyways

#

where is the timesave

errant dome
frail heart
#

better for scouts

errant dome
#

or am i going insane

prime musk
#

oh maybe we did

frail heart
#

also it saves a lot on kraken

#

if you CAN run it you probably should

fathom ice
#

bc felt like it's lowkey harder to play

#

and like it's already pretty rough

prime musk
fathom ice
#

it is a route we should do tho prob

errant dome
#

im like 90% sure we got at least 1 clear with bc scatter, idr the exact clear time tho

frail heart
#

kraken is the big thing

errant dome
#

i think it was around 1:10

frail heart
#

guys just take sniper

fathom ice
#

and it was bc yes

errant dome
#

i dont have the screenshots saved so idr tbh

fathom ice
#

it's either 1:24 or 1:20

#

it's been a while

prime musk
#

like

errant dome
frail heart
#

you do

sturdy glen
#

im ngl I havent watched your guys current pb so idk

frail heart
#

over hel rifle

prime musk
#

how much

sturdy glen
#

I should but I figure you guys do better soon no

#

?

fathom ice
#

prob yea

#

it's nothing interesting anyway

frail heart
#

you also save ammo

prime musk
#

i did the math and i believe bc has like 50% higher precision dps

sturdy glen
#

either way im judging off of 4 man and solo discussion

fathom ice
#

it's literally normal route except fast

sturdy glen
#

BC is kinda just the answer to a lot of stuff

prime musk
#

so you save a 3rd

#

a third of tumor up time

#

which is like a 5th of the time anyways or something

frail heart
#

im gonna time rq

fathom ice
#

bc saves a minute and a half prob on kraken

prime musk
#

ye if it's significant i might force bc

fathom ice
#

hel rifle is just soo slow

sturdy glen
#

what route you guys use

#

its cancel/tp mwp right

fathom ice
#

literally normal route

#

yes

sturdy glen
#

thats not normal route lol

fathom ice
#

well normal pub route idk

#

not a speed route basically

errant dome
fathom ice
#

although we should do at least nm6 during reactor

#

ohhh

sturdy glen
#

I think at best

#

you do up to last S

fathom ice
#

we should leave the last nm6 scan

#

yeah

sturdy glen
#

pmom prolly too scary yea

#

could do uhh

fathom ice
#

we killed it in kds last time

sturdy glen
#

A of shadow pull into clearing the small room next to it

#

and using door to kill pmom

#

cuz you wont have wave

fathom ice
#

ure usually pretty dry

#

after w3

sturdy glen
#

how

fathom ice
#

cuz u need to kill like 3 tanks and shit ton of nightmares?

#

or well not dry but we don't carry any res

#

so we wanna hop in kds for a quick ammo grab

sturdy glen
#

idk grab kds yea

#

you need to do teamscan anyways

fathom ice
#

yeah and we kill pmom there

sturdy glen
#

someone can move mwp during

#

how risky do you guys play ending

#

do you send scatter full back?

fathom ice
#

after 3 tumors

#

yeah

sturdy glen
#

based

prime musk
#

well that's the strat

#

we didn't get to do it in the 1:11

fathom ice
#

byeah

fathom ice
prime musk
#

are you forgoring

#

you downed

#

leaving kraken

fathom ice
#

oh

#

listen

sturdy glen
#

pub down

fathom ice
#

being on 20 and insta leaving

sturdy glen
#

!!

prime musk
#

i was trying to not say that you died leaving kraken

fathom ice
#

is just a death

#

I couldn't do much

prime musk
#

you could have

#

not left instantly

fathom ice
#

that's a time loss !

#

besides that he can ignore and shoot 2 reds

#

and it's just bad

sturdy glen
#

sidenote

#

I think you might be forced to leave 2 big S maybe

#

if you do cancel during wave 1

#

ig its prolly worth to dig into code 2 time a bit

#

for 1 more S

#

and then just do wave 3 normally

prime musk
#

ye you aren't struggling to fetch code 2 anyways

fathom ice
#

prob

errant dome
#

isnt the 5th S stupidly long tho

frail heart
sturdy glen
#

would help with making sure there isnt stuck shit too

#

if you stay on longer

prime musk
#

spending a minute of that in scan is a minute you'd have to spend later anyways

fathom ice
prime musk
#

team

#

the last 2 S scans are same length

fathom ice
#

yes

#

conclusion

#

soon TM

sturdy glen
#

yeah its probably cancel during code 1 -> plug -> do up to last S -> get code 2 -> do wave/code 3 normal -> kds team scan loot ammo (maybe have 1 person loot 1 person move mwp?) -> finish scan -> open door and kill A -> get in the big door asap and use it to kill pmom

#

could be p epic

errant dome
#

i dont think u need 2 move mwp if scatter is going back early on kraken

fathom ice
#

I lowkey think u loot while killing pmom

errant dome
#

can just move it then

fathom ice
#

and u get to move too since she's not pushing

#

even if she does anyone just kills birth with sawed off

#

and u get to run into shadows and insta pull

errant dome
#

if u get scream client scatter can solo kill without birth anyways

fathom ice
#

yea that too

prime musk
#

might even be worth playing for

#

scatter waits at kds door

#

for scream

#

while other player loots and feeds

fathom ice
#

I think u just kill birth every time ngl

#

like ure scatter player

#

she screams far u run out

#

you can't cross to her in time

#

and if ur staying next to door she's almost guaranteed to be far

#

unless she's aggroed on the other player and he's far

sturdy glen
#

this is why I am suggesting a door kill strat

#

ppl rly dont abuse door kills enough

#

it does literally all the work for you

fathom ice
#

can u kill on door open?

#

without scream

prime musk
#

with bc scatter probably

sturdy glen
#

1 person dumping sawed off 1 dumping scatter staggers

#

easily

#

2 sawed off + 2 scatters is a stagger

errant dome
#

my only issue with that is that ive had pmom birth a few times thro door (i assume her head peaked into the room and she saw me and it counted as LOS)

prime musk
#

you have to assume that doesn't happen

errant dome
#

but idk if im just unlucky

fathom ice
#

u blame the game and restart

errant dome
#

i have no idea how common it is

sturdy glen
#

you have an undamaged door

#

should never happen here

#
  • you can shoot bottom tumors while its opening and your time to stagger is under a second
fathom ice
#

we'll figure it out

sturdy glen
#

ea, I might try it out at some point if I feel like getting ray on it

#

as much as I like duoing with tru the ping is kinda unbearable for trying to do anything cool

frail heart
#

Hel rifle: 6:44
BC: 5:42
Starts on command input, infinite ammo, insta shooting all tumors

#

@prime musk

prime musk
#

you save 1 minute

#

idk

#

idt that's worth it

frail heart
#

its a free 1 minute

prime musk
#

frosty

#

it's """free"""

#

because you have to clear everything else which is now harder to shoot

frail heart
#

that isnt a time loss tho

#

harder != time loss

sturdy glen
prime musk
frail heart
#

i think the only thing actually harder to shoot is nm6

prime musk
#

and the run is already really rought

sturdy glen
#

BC is not significantly worse for nightmares than hel rifle unless youre shooting insanely

#

its way better for bosses

#

random giants

#

which are what youre going to get during reactor

#

its better for code 1

prime musk
#

part of the issue chill

#

is that it's tighter on ammo

#

like you're playing for fast plug and you are basically working with reactor ammo for entire reactor

sturdy glen
#

im ngl

#

I would go check how the hel rifle gameplay looks in the run rn

#

but youre not doing the full route yet so thats kinda pointless

#

so I will just leave it at

#

I have a suspicion with the full strats being ran, hel rifle is not going to be largely more efficient than bc

#

(besides nm6 obv)

prime musk
#

for wave 3 hel rifle is big because you get to pen basically everything except the bosses
for wave 2 bc probably better
for wave 1 i think hel rifle is nicer at least, even if it is slower in getting code

#

What is the point of the burst cannon when the scattergun exists?

#

I see people talk highly about it often but I don't know what makes it special

little pilot
#

the main advantage of burst cannon remains range, it does indeed get outshined in almost every other situation, however in some levels it can be considerably better. We have some levels where it is considered optimal to take like 2 scatters and 1 burst cannon, or triple waveclear + burst cannon

#

r1c1 would probably be best example: burst cannon can invalidate giants and hybrids at range before they become a problem

#

on the other hand scatter kinda sucks since u gotta get close and personal

#

Also another thing: burst cannon is found more enjoyable by certain people. The reality is it is a gun which requires far more skill to use at its full potential. On the other hand scatter is kinda just... left click and that general direction gets deleted

fluid heath
#

When does the damage fall-off on the burst cannon start?

grizzled patrol
#

i love it for being a more flexible hel gun

#

tripple kills with one burst require more skill, but are so satisfying

#

if only it still had the 5x burst BigSadge

grizzled patrol
#

on practice it falls bellow 20 damage at 20 meters

fluid heath
#

I see

#

Well thank you both for your replies

#

Might have to play around with it more

minor fractal
#

It does best on levels w/ a lot of ammo to work with

ocean lance
#

does bioscan speed cap btw?

im from vietnam and was wondering about pings and stuffs cuz i wanna play with everybody too

static kestrel
#

@prime musk bro i dont get it

#

i keep getting to the same part as before

#

i clear class 3, blood door, class 6, but after the class 6 i dont have anything else

#

like i legit searched the whole zone while running from the error waves with 0 ammo

#

i only found meds

#

am i just unlucky?? like what am i doing wrong here

#

(its r3d1 solo no bots for reference if any1 else reading)

#

should i just be running it down with knife WAY more?? like jus be less weary of my hp?? i feel like im shooting TOO much so i dont have ammo later and like i was in a position where i couldnt run down the infection zone cuz there was a striker wave on me prior to opening to door so i wouldnt b able to carry the baby far

#

(i also didnt take the baby that time cuz i forgot so tbh i was prob doomed no matter what lol)

ty

frail heart
#

that level has TOO much

#

but yeah, use your knife more

#

theres no reason to shoot error waves unless you are losing health

static kestrel
#

im like deemed by god to be super unlucky

#

i swear i am super unlucky in everything i do

#

ofc not knowing where all the boxes and lockers can be yet contributes, but legit i ran through so many rooms and zones to only find 2 use med packs it was crazy

#

but it happens ig, use my knife more

#

noted

ocean spindle
#

if not u shoould like run it a couple times with bots to learn cuz theres some spots where thers almost always a box

static kestrel
#

well i duo'd it with the dude i pinged and thats like all my experience of it lol

ocean spindle
#

yeah u should, do a couple more runs

#

if u can

#

knowin a level top to bottom helps a lot

sudden nexus
#

in between zone has not a lot

#

just go to plug room

static kestrel

cuz when i finish the alarm every time im fighting the alarm wave

but then im outta stuff

so i just get cooked

you really don't have to fight in inbetween zone a lot

not sure if this should go here or not, but are there no extra character dialogue interaction after playing one of their character logs from ALT:// R5 A2/3? I got so excited at the prospect and then when I got to it nothing happened 😔

#

not anymore unless u have a mod i believe

#

same for other dialogues in rundown 6

#

the only sort of those dialogues come in r8 the rest don't happen anymore

prime musk
ocean lance
#

oh kin

#

duo'd with the dude I pinged

#

💀

#

wait is he playing sentry

prime musk
#

yeah

ocean lance
#

even with mines I never had to melee anything

#

with sentry even less

#

but I guess if you go slower

prime musk
#

he's playing bc which is tighter on ammo than hel rifle

ocean lance
#

You're getting more enemies

prime musk
#

but still

ocean lance
#

it really isn't an issue with sentry

#

like it's so free if it's full

static kestrel
#

not funny

#

i feel insulted

ocean lance
#

my run has BC in it if you wanna see

static kestrel
#

i was running bc sawed off

#

cuz idk what else to run

ocean lance

that's what I run

#

and I got a 30 so

#

it's not bad lol

ocean lance
#

so true

static kestrel
#

you started off by just pulling the zone 389 door??

#

was that just a lucky gamble??

prime musk
#

bbut like for first clear and making it as easy as possible

sudden nexus
prime musk
#

we know exact box of key before we drop

ocean lance
#

don't do what I do I'm speedrunning you're going for a clear

static kestrel
#

how

ocean lance
#

it's just an example on how to play BC

static kestrel
prime musk
#

we read the game logs and use premade keymaps that show what key id corresponds to what box

ocean lance
#

I have a sentry clear with BC aswell but thsts like a really bad one

#

but you can probably relate to that gameplay more ngl

static kestrel
#

r u calling me bad lol

ocean lance
#

yes

#

compared to me yeah

static kestrel
#

id sure hope so considering my lack of experience

prime musk
#

the skill ceiling is pretty high

ocean lance
#

I know that's why I'm suggesting watching an easier clear

grizzled patrol
ocean lance
#

my first clear on my channel is my first solo clear so you'd relate

ocean lance
static kestrel
#

cuz then i fell better

#

duh

ocean lance
#

well no point cause you wouldn't get better at the game then

#

which I suppose is what you want

static kestrel
#

ig ur right

prime musk
#

https://youtu.be/WN3DAXp40Ao here's my AWFUL first clear with bc + sentry you can use as an even worse reference
don't ask about the clear time it's really bad

In r1b1 theres like rooms with a bunch of giant and giant shooters, is it possible to stealth them? When theres like 2 of em close to each other with 2 people

prime musk
#

with only 2 people it's hard but possible

#

you can solo melee a giant stealthily

#

so 2 ppl can take 2 giants silently

#

but it's going to be hard and/or inconsistent

pure lodge
#

oo

#

Would spears be the most ideal

hammer is good but spear keeps you out of melee range
