Funnily enough, last time I checked BetterBots (Alt R3 release) nor even that fixed it

#

AFAIK there's no way of fixing it aside from kicking the bots

hard nexus

current betterbots no issue

#

This game commits death the moment you wanna try more than 3 matches without relaunching

#

So stuff can just break time to time

#

how does weapon falloff work?

spring ocean
#

each weapon has damage falloff at a certain set of meters, varying from weapon to weapon

#

there is a mod that lets you see more in depth information about weapons and the stats they have
including knowledge on which weapons can inflict stagger

past mesa
#

So ar is given two ranges 15-40(fake numbers) anything less than 15 meters full damage at 15-40 we decrease from full damage to 10% damage this decrease is linear

#

Than past 40 meters you de 10% damage

I know the answer to the question I'm going to ask might be "git gud" but d4rkeva's vids are current, right? I watch how he moves in some of the vids (the boys and I have been deliberating on this one this week as we get pumped for the next r1d1 attempt on the weekend) and it seems like the enemies are much more sensitive than in the vid, like you walk up to them and they get real mad and try to bite you. Is this just a case of us not having the "feel" down for things yet?

GTFO is a Hardcore COOP Horde Shooter with stealth elements which is often told to have Levels that take multiple hours to get a single attempt in.
This is a small guide that goes over some things you should avoid & do when playing GTFO to cut down the time you spent in your runs.
Reminder: This Video is not made with the intent to force people ...

▶ Play video
timber shoal
raven copper
#

basically all of it is good

timber shoal
#

but yes eva's video should be plenty up to date

raven copper
#

ping is jus really funky an desync is a thing

copper rivet
#

ok, thank you. I will mentally eliminate that as a potential variable hahaha

ripe hamlet
#

You need to play by ears

timber shoal
#

sound cues are key in this game

copper rivet
#

I did a quick run through training and noticed the clicks in a way I hadn't previously.

ripe hamlet
#

You’ll get a feel of how close you can edge the enemies wit your ping

#

Just keep playing

raven copper
#

also walking an crouching walking give quicker or slower like glowing from the enemies

grizzled patrol
dreamy socket
#

Host often has a better time stealthing than anyone else.
Its something you learn to play around

raven copper
#

jus walking at them will agitate them quicker an crouching an doing it an when they tweak out is the dont move indicator

#

jus pay attention to sounds an how the enemy looks while walking around

ripe hamlet
#

But also

#

Plan when to commit

prime musk
#

while it may not always be doable you do want to keep the same player hosting in your group just so that everyone is used to the specific ping

ripe hamlet
#

It’s fine if the enemies wake if you’re going for a melee

copper rivet
#

before we panicked completely

ripe hamlet
#

You just have to make sure no bad long distance aggro is at play

prime musk
#

the main thing is that IF an enemy wakes from movement before you whack it, it GUARANTEES long range aggro if there is a glowing enemy in range and with los

ripe hamlet
#

Since enemies that already wake will not wake or trigger another long distance or proximity aggro

raven copper
#

audio an not panicking is your best friend

#

too many new players see a enemy wake up an freak out shooting or running around

grizzled patrol
#

I might be crazy, but i think all this Info is already in the guide

raven copper
#

ok like mb ig

dreamy socket
#

Run into rooms and stab everything trust /s

copper rivet
raven copper
#

ill jus blow myself up

grizzled patrol
ripe hamlet
#

But it’s dense for newbie

grizzled patrol
copper rivet
#

oh yes, I think we saw that one. I did not fully trust cuz it was a little bit older

dreamy socket
#

I think walk stealthing is also mentioned in the speed up your runs guide

copper rivet
#

I will watch with new eyes

#

thanks all

#

looking forward to starting the 2nd rundown

raven copper
#

see me giving them that advice wasnt useless so hop off my dih

raven copper
#

I sure hope so

#

🥹

#

I need something to look forward too at the end of the day

grizzled patrol
copper rivet
#

I will let my friends know that if the info in the vids seems wrong it is because we are fresh and new and not because the vids are outdated

#

I love GTFO

#

I hope my buddies don't get burned out, it is in my thoughts constantly throughout the week til we get to play again

grizzled patrol
#

If they do burn Out, locking them in the basement is Always a option

raven copper
#

tru

#

or on the roof

dreamy socket
grizzled patrol
#

Dont do it too often, otherwise your House will Catch on fire

dreamy socket
#

dw its usually a low burn

raven copper
#

as long as your not spamming it 24/7 you probably wont get burnt out

GTFO is pretty good for chilling after Work ngl

raven copper
#

after work its nice actually

dreamy socket
coral dune
#

why do clients have less shots to kill than host?

timber shoal
coral dune
#

ye

timber shoal
#

tumors are supposed to break after taking a certain amount of damage

#

client introduces a slight delay that allows tumors to be overdamaged

dreamy socket
#

With things like scatter gun as well i believe you just hit more of the scatter per scatter on the tumor

timber shoal
#

increasing the damage per shot

ocean spindle
#

Unlike the heads of enemies, damage performed to the bosses weakspots (tumors) is capped per damage-instance by the maximum HP of the tumor.

However, clients are often able to target the same tumor repeatedly before receiving an update from the host informing them that the tumor has popped - potentially allowing massive damage to be inflicted to the enemy while only popping a single tumor. Since this damage is dealt through many small damage-instances, the damage is not capped by the health of the tumor.

thank u wiki

#

What's the most optimal route for r1a1 logless speedrun?

burnt inlet
#

@tardy ingot

tardy ingot
#

The same as the most optimal in general?

#

theres not much specific routing for r1a1

#

youd just bash your head into getting a close c or g key

Then gamble on a close b hsu

If you dont want to spend 1000 runs for nothing. Then you dont do that though

burnt inlet
prime musk
#

getting an F key is a very reasonable 1/6 and you get an insane amount of box spawns on path for resources

tardy ingot
#

you can check close C and close G

cedar heath
#

Tks a lot. Is there any tips for the class IV alarm?

tardy ingot
#

B/F are also an option but are less likely and actually slower by a bit than close C

prime musk
#

yeah and the odds for either of those aree lower than that of F key

cedar heath
#

Yes

tardy ingot
#

burst sentry in the spot all solo runs have it

In a speedrun you kinda want to stick scans. So do scans closer to enemies coming in first so you can fall back into other scans

#

The chance for an F key isnt higher than a similarly fast G/C key

prime musk
#

that is just incorrect

#

F key is 16%
C key is 7.5% (not counting all the bad C keys you don't get to check)
the relevant G keys add less than 8%

cedar heath
#

And what to do when having bad scans? Sometimes the scans go to right in front of the door and my sentry's los

prime musk
#

you have to do between waves

#

can close door to get space if wave is too close

tardy ingot
prime musk
tardy ingot
#

Since its solo I will say that B/F route is def easier to play

#

I wasnt aware that it was solo at first

cedar heath
#

Is it okay to go to the res zone when I know the key is in area G but don't know where are the resources?

prime musk
#

no, it is far too slow if you're actually going for a good time

tardy ingot
#

for a speedrun? Its not recommended

#

You are kinda just gambling that you get the res walking past

cedar heath
#

We can know where are the res when doin' logged runs, right?

tardy ingot
#

Yea

prime musk
#

you could also hypothetically log an E trip as well to make the alarm easier

tardy ingot
#

what even are the Consumable trip lockers

#

since the spawns are „set“ for that

prime musk
#

i don't know exactly but in starting zone it is only in B im pretty sure

cedar heath
#

Understood. And 1 more question: When verifying the speedrun, beside the speedruncore mod, which mods are allowed to use?

prime musk
#

medals mod

#

that's it

little pilot
#

sadly most other mods modify the functions that get called in game too much

#

bepinex already is fucked when it comes to this

cedar heath
#

that sucks ;(( Tysm for the information. I'll install the speedrunning core mod and hope that I could get at least sub 9

livid stone
#

Is cfoam laddering allowed in speedruns?

ripe hamlet
#

yes

#

see r5c1

#

eva with the double world records

#

gg

livid stone
#

So ladderfoaming is accepted good to know

tardy ingot
tardy ingot
safe cradle
#

I personally put the no-ladderfoam on my R2E1s just because I dont like it

#

Heck, AFAIK not even doorbugging gets you banned here

#

Only bad behaviour and cheating mods get you banned

#

There's the point that most people just dont report

burnt inlet

For example I never report, worse I do is block the user so I know not to play with them and call it a day

coral dune
#

is there ever a reason to use hammer over spear?

tardy ingot
dreamy socket
#

Only thing spear has going for it is range i think

tardy ingot
#

It has better dmg which enables easier kills. Especially on strikers where you dont need to aim for head and just kill with a full charge

It also lets you sprint when charging which is insanely strong.

Spear rly only has range (which usually doesnt matter) and extra precision dmg (which for anything but bosses doesnt change how many hits it takes to kill)

dreamy socket
#

Knife ~= Hammer > Bat > Spear

tardy ingot
#

Hammer > Knife >> bat >> spear

ripe hamlet
#

it has worse normal dmg than hammer

dreamy socket
ripe hamlet

cant even kill a striker with full charge to the front

Hey, my mate and I are on R5A3. Is there a bug relating to finding a code on the terminals?

abstract junco
#

Well, where doing the main for R5A3 where you have to find 3 terminals with codes on them to unlock 2 other terminals, and the last one is encrypted, and you need to find two terminals to complete the code and well we can't find the last two letters to make the code

raven copper
#

you find the terms to do it with

#

could jus be missing the terms

timber shoal

ye never heard or had a bug where you cant get the codes themselves

can you send me your log file from that session

Just completed R4A1 and i seen a popup for the secondary objective but couldn't figure out how to get more information after the popup vanished. Question is how do I check on the optional objectives in the middle of a game?

mystic rock
#

press o

#

but it only shows if you have been in the area that the obj takes place in

#

usually alternative objectives are in zones that are really different

#

so just close a door and see where is the way to a zone that is very different than others

#

like if a door leads to 48-52, 152

#

then that's the correct way cause 152 would be your secondary

#

you need to find bulkhead_keys for them

coarse lodge
#

okay ty Bishop_Heart

balmy sedge

so about modding, do I need that overflow manadger? bc it just keeps me directing to create accounts....I just want the goo removed from hud, bro

you just need r2modman

balmy sedge

#

yes

balmy sedge
#

is there a list of recommended mods, or I just go throught the site?

sick mauve
#

depends

tiny wyvern
#

What do you want to do with mods?

balmy sedge
#

just qol

tiny wyvern
#

How QOL do you want your QOL

balmy sedge
#

bugfixes, etc. no gameplay change.

#

for example i got the ping everithing just now. stuff like that

tardy ingot
#

some bug“fixes“ will have gameplay changes

tiny wyvern
#

Well, there's the funny list on the [[Bug Wiki/Tech Support Wiki]]

gray rapidsBOT
tacit cedar
#

some good bugfixes that don't change gp are: shooterbugfix, gluefix, memoryleakfix, snatcherbugfix

sick mauve
#

check the amorpack if you’d like. although it is more suited for modded rundowns. can still run it on vanilla if you disable local progression (a mod only for modded rundowns)

tardy ingot
#

Theres also some neat qol mods that arent fixed or gameplay changing but are nice such as

Accurate crosshair

without either it's theoretically doable but realistically impossible

ig if you

cancel your surge with kraken

and then backtrack for mwp

dreamy socket

#

idk maybe when someone else does an e2 solo (cheatless) ill consider it

#

it's just uninteresting to do it again but ft. backtracking to mwp

maybe if i figure out a way for sentry to be playable not just theoretically i'd be more interested in it

anyone got the name of that "no goo on screen mod" ? there is so much, i cant find it..welp

if you're talking about the letters being wavy when you have infection that's just part of the game btw

balmy sedge

is this fine, or imma crash mid game for magical reasons?

is

#

i roll for only kds spawns

#

and midway through alarm

#

i go long

#

to refill sentry and grab more ammo

burnt inlet
timber shoal
#

might be misinfo though

tacit cedar
#

it's probably there somewhere it has like a billion things

burnt inlet
frail heart
#

but idk

#

havent tested

prime musk
#

the issue is not even that it is too hard to shoot (though some scan positions + wave positions are virtually unshootable)

#

the big issue is that your sentry just runs out

#

and when it runs out the late waves are fully not shootable

#

i was strategising to never gamble on boxes in room but if it helps it helps

keen seal
#

some of it is pretty nice

#

makes the game more quiet on drop and skips the intro cutscene

#

you also see who is loading for example

balmy sedge
#

aight. do I need to do anithing to make the mods work? seems like when i drop in, none is preset atm

fathom ice
keen seal
#

yeah when you launch your modded profile for the first time it'll generate config files for the mods

#

archive has it's own settings menu in game though

balmy sedge
#

ah, ok, so I need to start the game from the mod manager with "modded realm"

#

makes sense

keen seal
#

start modded from the top left here

balmy sedge
#

makes sense, just hoped i dont need extra stuff. oki 🙂

keen seal
#

you don't

balmy sedge
#

i mean, running as vanilla by clicking on the icon, thats just me being lazy

keen seal
#

yeah :D

balmy sedge
#

so..clients with mods can connect to unmodded? and vica versa? and this is just client side stuff right?

prime musk
prime musk
fathom ice
#

and your timing is ideal

#

THOUGHTS

prime musk
#

a lot is client side, a lot is host only (ie it is vanilla, but it only works if you're host for technical reasons), and a lot is custom rundowns and custom content

carmine grotto
#

Anything more than bug fixes or customization mods you'll have to host

#

can I have a hello kitty gun?

raven copper
#

if you can get the assets for the gun you could make one into it ye

balmy sedge
#

omg, best game ever

copper rivet
#

we finally did it

#

HOWEVER, I have a question about monster spawns

#

me and a buddy started r1d1 last night w/ 2 bots. then my friend's bro joined us (our last friend was out and was gonna be late)

#

we absolutely tap-danced through the level, flush w/ resources, not breaking a sweat

#

but then we did a 2nd attempt after my late friend came in

#

and we were obliterated

#

the run for the extraction had SO MANY MONSTERS

#

i couldn't mark them all!

#

it was so drastically different

#

i know there's no scaling in GTFO, but it really felt like there was

#

we left turrets behind and ran- does that influence monster spawns?

raven copper
#

gtfo does not scale with more players

timber shoal
#

what probably happened was all the shadows were spawning forward

raven copper
#

that too

timber shoal
#

and the prior attempt they were spawning behind

#

you can outrun shadows by sprinting so you never would’ve seen them

copper rivet
#

we were getting pincered the whole way out on our 2nd try, it was horrible

timber shoal
#

but if you got unlucky they all could’ve been in front of you

dreamy socket
#

They really do just pick a side and go fuck you

tiny wyvern
#

They can spawn on top of you if you run fast enough, so there's that

copper rivet
#

should we stop to fight or just run?

timber shoal
tiny wyvern
timber shoal
#

idk if the speed at which you run affects whether spawns happen on top of you

copper rivet
#

it was just insane how different those two runs were. we've gotten good enough at the level that we can just fly through everything without issue up until the end and it seems like a huge toss up

tiny wyvern
#

If you aren't, do that if you're all low

tiny wyvern
timber shoal
raven copper
timber shoal
#

i just mean if you’re all together i don’t think the speed you progress at can result in shadows spawning on top of you

tiny wyvern
#

Like, not having bio warn you of peps in front of you really hurts on the runback, especially if you haven't ran it back twenty times and know where to expect them spawning

copper rivet
#

I was doing bio and it felt like I couldn't keep up with the scans both before and behind during our failed run

#

on the first run I scanned in front and we killed stuff as we went, ezpz

dreamy socket
timber shoal
dreamy socket
#

Ah, fair

copper rivet
#

I definitely felt the pain of the cooldown on the failed attempt. the first run it wasn't an issue.

tiny wyvern
#

that
With shadows it's more important to know if they're coming at your face rather than where they are specifically, especially if you know what you're doing

raven copper
#

youd have to be walking for spawns to be in top of you forward an back

#

there is no way running youd get pincered ever

tiny wyvern
#

If you don't, have like two peps off bio take thermals and just have them take it out during the runback

raven copper
#

ive never had any issues even when running back alone that ive had them be forward an back on top of me

#

your either stopping to shoot them or walking

dreamy socket
tiny wyvern
#

Well, my issue usually stems from my love of machine pistol
And the fact that machine pistol doesn't do very well against shadows

raven copper
#

if your stopping to shoot your also probably taking way too long to kill them to begin with

dreamy socket
copper rivet
#

so if you stop you're inviting spawns from behiind? we were definitely getting bunched up

raven copper
#

yes

dreamy socket
raven copper
#

or forwards

#

the longer you take the more will spawn till theres a spawn cap

copper rivet
#

there seemed to be way more monsters in front on the way back, but we might have been going slower. we hauled cheeks on the first run

tiny wyvern
dreamy socket
raven copper
#

shadows are extremely slow so the only way yall had that many is you stopped waaaaaay too much or jus walked

copper rivet
#

ok. I will bring this wisdom back

#

I feel bad cuz we cleared this one and blasted through the first 3 levels of the 2nd rundown with ease lol

#

my buddy missed our triumphant victory and the beginning of r2

tiny wyvern
#

Also as time goes on you'll get so used to killing shadows you learn kind of how to avoid dying to them

raven copper
#

well the tiers are based off the letter so

#

d is harder than a b c

tiny wyvern
#

As are the easiest, Es are the hardest

#

that sort of thing

raven copper
#

so the first 2 of r2 are gonna be easier than r1d1

Just wait till you get to R2D1

#

It'll be fun!
If the game doesn't gas you up too much

dreamy socket
#

2d1 is so fire low-key

raven copper
#

r2d1 solo diving cells is fun

copper rivet
#

it was crazy the difference between the end of 1 and the beginning of 2

#

the letters apparently make a huge difference

raven copper
#

yes

timber shoal
#

just wait till you see an e tier

tiny wyvern
#

All A levels are meant to be intro levels

copper rivet
#

new mechanics, etc

raven copper
tiny wyvern
#

And all E levels are designed to faq you

dreamy socket
raven copper
#

it is

tiny wyvern
#

The higher the number, the more complex mechanically the game gets
The higher the letter, the more you'll get faqed

timber shoal
tiny wyvern
#

That sort of logic

timber shoal
#

its not a very fun level though imo

tiny wyvern
#

'Just ladderfoam trust'

ebon light
#

we are all taking foam boosters and 2 hel autos

raven copper
#

foam boosters with no foam

dreamy socket
tiny wyvern
#

Tbh most pubs die on final cell plug rather than the ||surges|| or the ||error|| if they manage to get ||baby||

raven copper
#

damn left my foam at the gas station gotta go back

tiny wyvern
#

Because they just... can't find it?

#

I should know, I still can't find it sometimes on the best of days

ebon light
#

rhe surge thats the issue is the one during error

copper rivet
#

thanks for the advice all. takeaways then for r1d2- run as fast as possible, only fight if you have to, you are faster than the shadows

dreamy socket
#

Basically, ya.

copper rivet
#

If we had the same rng the second time it would have been another easy clear, but it sounds like our behavior caused the awkward spawning

tiny wyvern
#

Also when you eventually gets stuck on R2D2 and R2E1 don't be afraid to skip them for the time being

#

Don't burn yourself out on them

copper rivet
#

oh geeze

#

that sounds horrible haha

#

I'm still glad that most of our party finished the first rundown. loving r2 so far.

tiny wyvern
#

Something the game will throw at you quite a bit

#

So it's important to know when to call it quits and move on for the time being

copper rivet
#

cool, good to know. I felt obligated to complete it straight through, this is good to know

ebon light
#

tbh my rundown order for optimal experience would be like

#

1 3 2 6 7 4 5 8

timber shoal
#

in order 🥺

ebon light
#

in order is the pub trap

timber shoal
#

its what i did for the most part

ebon light
#

you fell for the pub trap 🫡

ocean spindle
ebon light
#

doomed forever

ocean spindle
#

in orrder but skippin when u get stuck is fine

ocean spindle
#

leaving r8 to the end

ebon light
#

vaguely what I did

timber shoal
ebon light
#

people can do what they want

#

I finished with r4 anyways

ocean spindle
#

i do think hardforcing the order is is, not ideal

tacit cedar
#

just have a friend drag you into shit like r6c2 when you have 10 hours on the game

#

(my experience)

ocean spindle
#

so bad

ebon light
#

my first completed level was 4b2 🥹

ocean spindle
#

if ur the gamer that takes newies to e tiers, abandon gtfo fuck u i dont lik eu

ebon light
#

ir 4b1

#

which one is the reactor secondary

ocean spindle
#

r4b1

ebon light
#

yea r4b1 was my first completion in gtfo

fathom ice
#

i think mine was 7a1

#

or smth

balmy sedge
#

is there any reason to do them in order then, or ppl just like their ABC-s?

ocean spindle
#

so skipping when it gets too intense just gives u a break to be better and come back to it later

#

only exception is r8 which should be left for last

balmy sedge
#

ah, ok. i was going by letters. it is realy hard from D-s

ocean spindle
#

oh

#

the letters yes they go in order, a is easiest E is hardest

#

usually is better to complete a tier before moving on, like doing B1, B2 and B3 before C1 for example

final terrace
#

i mean, the game forces you to do the letters in order

raven copper
#

ye but doesnt stop people from joining d tier pubs when they are only at A

burnt inlet
#

^

raven copper
#

is r5c2 really that hard of a pe

#

like ig out of all of them its probably harder than most

frail heart
#

call me r5c2

raven copper
#

call me r4c3 the way im harder than you

minor fractal
#

R8C1 I'd switch w/ R6C3 maybe

raven copper
#

ye like theres not really that tuff of pes to really replace it not i think

#

like maybe r8c1 ig

fathom ice
#

R8C1 would be phard

#

however the built-in doorbug:

minor fractal
#

I think if you are avoiding that/playing normally

tardy ingot
#

the tank fights in R6C3 > R8C1
and everything else in R8C1 is just kinda fine since no pressure

cedar heath
#

top 5 most difficult secondary?

frail heart
#

not in order: r4e1, r8e2, r5d1, r8d2, r8b4

#

assuming class 9 r8d2

#

i cant think of others ngl

cedar heath
#

for intermediate players I'd think about r6d2

ripe hamlet
#

r6d2sec is kinda painful fr

raven copper
#

class 9 r8d2 is easy vronerdcat

frail heart
raven copper
#

r6d2 corrupt link is brutal ngl

#

the flyer alarm is tuff too

cedar heath
raven copper
#

but the thing is you can cancel the corrupt link

#

so its jus like a hard flyer alarm an a tank

#

so the secondary isn't that hard if you do that

cedar heath
#

You can cancel the uplink alarm with the error alarm shutdown?

raven copper
#

yes

#

I did true duo with dodo an thats what we did

#

ventilation system into flyer alarm into error cancel for uplink

tardy ingot
#

no shooting necessary aside from some flyer shooting range

raven copper
#

I was more so thinking about the true duo for it cause thats what I did recently xd

#

but again you can jus cancel it so like

ebon light
#

r7b3 sec sucks

raven copper
#

that one pe sucks ass

ripe hamlet
#

shooting the corrupted uplink true duo is true pain and misery

raven copper
#

ye we jus didnt do all that xd

#

easy cancel an flyer alarm

flat river
#

do you want to get fog turbine in R4D2 when doing PE? feels like it helps, but forces to clear more rooms + extra alarm, so less resources

#

but makes fog not a big deal

upbeat flame
#

no just go fast

upbeat flame
#

doing a surge for that fog aint worth

flat river
#

but when you will go back for cargo, won't you have to go through fog then?

#

and full infected on low HP will have to fight shadows

fathom ice
#

you just tank infect

#

it's aight

upbeat flame
#

yeah you jus gotta tank that

fathom ice
#

like your plan is to get a shadow cap behind you and close all the doors on them

#

so you just fight nothing at extract

upbeat flame
#

the hard part is getting out of ovl, but if you can do that shadows usually back spawn and then you can close doors to stall

cedar heath
#

what about double alarms?

fathom ice
#

wdym

upbeat flame
#

you mean extract alarm doing chargers?

cedar heath
#

start both surge and charger alarm, scanning surge alarm first, then chargers alarm

upbeat flame
#

for the fog turbine?

cedar heath
#

yep

#

if you really need it

upbeat flame
#

I mean it's an interesting strat, can't say I've done it

fathom ice
#

people just don't bother getting turbine

#

it's kinda not worth it

ripe hamlet
#

doing side zones in that lvl arent worth it

#

just go fast

#

and foam doors for shadow spawn cap

#

you only need one person in extract anyway

#

just kite around if the door breaks

ebon light
#

theres a turbine?

#

i figured infect tanking was just part of the level

raven copper
#

there is ye

#

but like literally no one tskes it

ebon light
#

where even is it

upbeat flame
#

There’s some side zone on the cluster 5 I think?

ebon light
#

ohhhh there

#

i thought that was just res

upbeat flame
#

Gotta go to 95 to get a cell to go to 97 iirc

raven copper
#

somewhere there ye

civic wave
#

i have done cell into double alarm for turbine, it's okay i guess

#

gets you some bonus resources but doesn't feel like much of anythinf

#

you're probably tanking infection anyway at the end

cedar heath
#

speaking of fog tanking, would you consider it in r7b3 pe?

raven copper
#

I wouldn't cause chargers

#

gotta be cracked out on Adderall to have one person not get touched while carrying cargo for that long i feel

#

bios gotta be going crazy too

#

actually maybe if your like set on hp

upbeat flame

we took 2 bios 1 sentry 1 mine iirc

#

What even are the essential components of GTFO that mean there are no analogous titles at all?

#

Is it just combinatorics?

#

I feel like it should be possible to pick just slightly different features to get a GTFO feel, surely.

ripe hamlet
#

stealth

timber shoal
#

10c invented stealth

ripe hamlet
#

its true

hard nexus
#

the only remotely similar vibe a game has is space beast terror fright but its without stealth

sick mauve
#

there honestly isn’t anything else

#

otherwise i’d be playing tf out of it rn

safe cradle
#

Exactly like GTFO nah

#

you can perhaps get something similar under some circumstances in certain games

burnt inlet
#

I think hk is a gtfo copy

sick mauve
#

i thought that marathon had gtfo-like aesthetics but it’s a fucking pvp extraction shooter so fuck that

hard nexus
#

nah not at all id say

safe cradle
hard nexus
#

i dont think it is tbh

safe cradle
#

Taking something that has barely any correlation at all, like DRG, it has zero of those mechanics (I'll admit I played it last like 4 years ago)

sick mauve
#

alarms / bioscans 🙂

hard nexus
#

in drg u have a sense of camaraderie between dwarves

safe cradle
#

Enemies spawn technically in a silent state and there's a censored word all mechanic to wake them up based on proximity, walking, shooting, another enemy shouting, if that's not intent I dont know what it is

hard nexus
#

in gtfo there is the whole narrative vibe of combat ready (military?) dudes who are loosely familiar with each other navigating pitch dark places with fucked up monsters having to teamwork it out, stealth is just a bonus

safe cradle
#

It IS a big part of the game even if you can ignore it or work around it once you know how to do so

hard nexus
#

this is why sbtf has the closest vibe u get overrun by xenomorphs

safe cradle
#

I'll tell you what, Manbarondenna, go in the GTFO store page. I'm pretty sure there's still that pre-alpha image of the HUD and a shotgun

#

The shotgun in question had 8/128 shells

#

I think the game got reworked along the lines to have some less "horde shooter" vibes

#

Ok that has nothing to do with the topic

#

No idea why I brought it up

#

But I still think stealth's a big component of what makes GTFO what it is

hard nexus
#

until it isnt

safe cradle
#

I mean what would work then? It being ALL stealth?

#

Of course it deviates but I think it IS a big part of the game

hard nexus
#

but does it define it

safe cradle
#

I cant think of another game that has the same "mix" of mechanics

hard nexus
#

u know i never restarted if we failed stealth in payday 2

#

for me this loop of stealth if u can until u have to do an alarm is perfection

safe cradle
safe cradle
#

There's stealth only heists IIRC

hard nexus
#

aka useless updates

safe cradle
#

🤣

hard nexus
#

loud only gamers rise up

safe cradle
#

car dealer heist is stealth only IIRC

hard nexus
#

so is shadow raid

#

like i said

#

useless updates

#

and god forbid u want to drive in a shooter game based on racing game engine

safe cradle
#

I hoped that 2d game would have evolved into GTFO but 2D

#

But it's abandoned I think

#

Cant remember the name

#

Deep below or some shit like that

hard nexus
#

the whole biocom lorely reflecting whats happening in the actual game 1:1 is osm

safe cradle
#

eh

minor fractal
#

Ig GTFO stealth is just really unique

#

and Witch is the only similarity to other horde shooters

anything bots?

ye, if it keeps happening i investigate more. thx

ripe hamlet

what is drop item fixed

uneven kiln
#

with memory leaks the bots can just stop functioning, not step in scans, not place tools, not grab or use items

this will also apply to player sentries target acqusition

i have that, i just installed these 3 before they stopped working. might be just silly bot behaviour tho

With what weapons you can kill cursed scout without making him scream?

I mean black scout with horns and whatever he have, not sure how it called

ocean spindle
#

cursed ksksks

flat river
#

Just calling all such enemies cursed ones

ocean spindle
#

_ohhhh cursed scout uhhh ur cursed :3 _

#

but every 30 dmg weaponn can in the back, cnter square in the back, fuster s probs writing th full list

#

i imagine

carmine grotto
ocean spindle
#

theres a lot of 30 dmg guns in the game so probs more than what u think

#

if u wanna silent kill them u can also foam it and hit it

#

which is usually the easiest-ish way to dispatch

carmine grotto
ocean spindle
#

tho u might not always have the launcher

ocean spindle
#

i meant stuff like high cal or shotgun qwq

carmine grotto
ocean spindle
#

play r3c1 ✨

meager mortar
#

you can RNG kill them with hel gun to back if you're bored

ocean spindle
#

its weird

carmine grotto
ocean spindle
#

but its dangerous

flat river
#

so basically even sawed-off, if all pallets hit, can kill them in the back? or there is enough time to double tap?

meager mortar

meager mortar
#

burst cannon is also a really safe option on c-scouts and it's probably more common than sniper kills

flat river
#

and cursed... charger enemies don't have weakpoints at all? only x2 in the back and thats it?

ocean spindle
#

yes

#

for all intends and purposes

#

they are one big torso

#

shooting the head does absolutely nothing, nor lowers dmg nor ups it

flat river
#

I like prec rifle against regular chargers, kills in two hits from big range

#

you hit head, they rotate in 180 and then hit back

ocean spindle
#

weird it should do a 3 tap, since animations dont affect the position of the enmy

#

maybe ur teammates are helping u

ocean spindle
#

it has 13 dmg

flat river
#

ok, need to retry, but I remember 2 hits and quite often

meager mortar
ocean spindle
#

u can probs drop solo into r1c2 and check

#

but i think only hel gun double taps cuz of the 15 breakpoint

#

i dont remember another gun that has that kind of dmg

#

oh - slug shotgun but its slow

meager mortar
#

my main issue with prec rifle is that if i'm killing chargers, im usually killing a lot of chargers, and hopefully in a line

#

there's not a ton of scenarios where i wouldn't want hel gun over prec, or hel rifle to deal with them

ocean spindle
#

fun

#

meager mortar
#

but also high cal!

#

hipfire kill like six chargers it's great

ocean spindle
#

normal shohttie i enjoy on closer quarter lvls

plus a main that helps me finish em off in case pellets fuck me

you shouldn’t be 2 tapping chargers then

with precision rifle

ocean spindle

wouldnt b surprised if it was the bots

timber shoal
#

unless we’ve got boba #2 here

ripe hamlet
#

maybe youre just goated and time the hit right when the anim update

#

its probably just betterbot helping out

upbeat flame
timber shoal
#

but what it does is make the visual back of the enemy be treated as the actual back of the enemy

#

so when a charger spins when its staggered you can shoot it mid spin to deal back damage and 2 tap it with prec rifle

upbeat flame
#

Ah I gotta tell my friends about that, I did use to run it for like r1 and some of r2 but then dialed down the qol mod pack to smaller things

#

Granted I don’t really think we take weapons that take advantage of that too much?

ripe hamlet
#

charger spin anim is kinda weird

#

i sometimes feel like i get back dmg when they spin as well

#

for bbc anyway

timber shoal
#

for bbc you can

#

you break one limb, break another mid spin and it causes the facing direction to update to be facing away so your third shot kills

I thought they would be a bit tanker considering the change from strikers to chargers

I mean no head for prec weapons

#

so like sniper

prime musk
# timber shoal for bbc you can

you can for small chargers as well it's just that
The damage required to spin is so low
that it's just never fucking worth it

timber shoal

right

not really sure though outside of that

Overall buff to knife ig

upbeat flame
#

I see

#

I mean none of them really use knife but I’ll let them know

timber shoal
#

it’s just gonna be a lot easier to benefit from back damage

#

lowkey can you kill cscouts from the front with hel rifle if they’re bent over?

timber shoal
#

because their visual back would be exposed

burnt inlet
#

also i dont think thats how the mod works?

#

but idk

ripe hamlet
#

its still going to use the orientation vector to calculate the back dmg no?

timber shoal
#

hmm

#

im gonna be so honest i have no idea

ripe hamlet
#

it just makes it accurate with the animation

burnt inlet
#

^ this is what i heard

upbeat flame
#

Honestly I don’t think it’s gonna be that big a deal if they keep it on cuz I don’t think they know how to manipulate it to be that important imma just keep my mouth shut

#

Assuming it’s a client side thing anyways

timber shoal
#

yeah it probably wont have too big an impact on your gameplay

prime musk
#

it genuinely makes charger stealth (and to a degree, all stealth) harder

#

but apart from that it's really whatever

#

you don't really get any chance to "abuse" the mod if you don't REALLY know what you're doing and even then it's pretty niche
