it fixes the orientation in relation to you, it does not just turn back into a weakspot

flat river
#

like when enemy is back to you because of animation, it doesn't mean it is back to you

hits through walls just because devs didn't want to make check for wall collision

fps dependency on enemy updates

not talking about bugs like shotgun kills corpses and etc

#

there are quite many such things that like... doesn't make sense

#

game is still good

#

but anyway

timber shoal

can you make that into hours long vid pls ty

uh huh

flat river
#

does extraction scan goes quicker when more people stand there? or they are different?

upbeat flame
#

depends

flat river
#

I remember some times it was quicker when full team was in zone, but sometimes it is not

#

any way to differ?

upbeat flame
#

usually with extracts that have items you need to extract with, doesn't matter how many people on it

#

you just need one person and the item, with extracts where you need to get out I think it does matter

fathom ice
#

extracts scale
extracts with heavy carries don't

flat river
#

understood

final terrace
#

nah it's stupider than that, it depends on the mission

#

if you're extracting an item, more people never make it faster, but with regular extractions more people make it faster on some mission and don't on others

flat river
#

consistency is not about this game, k

grizzled patrol
little pilot
final terrace
#

nope

final terrace
#

like maybe I'm just stupid but I swear I've tested this cause I wondered too

#

and noticed no difference in being the scan alone and with multiple people in the level I was doing

frail heart
#

its always faster

final terrace
#

also if that is the case the wiki is wrong, cause that also says that it depends

little pilot
final terrace
#

damn

dreamy socket
#

That makes sense

timber shoal
little pilot
timber shoal
#

gotcha

little pilot
#

r3b2 for exaxmple, r3a1

#

r2b4

#

r4a2

prime musk
#

am i stupid

#

why is the r4c3 scan scaling

#

or it at least has times filled in for other stuff than solo

little pilot
#

brb bullying kenny rn, that's probably a mistake

#

gonna double check just in case but i highly doubt that extract is special

prime musk
#

i think it's like the same scan as the other static scans that are like
40s

little pilot
#

wait that time is also wrong

#

extract is longer than that

prime musk
#

it looks like he accidentally just copied over the 4c2 data

little pilot
#

extract seems to be 80 seconds

#

yrd

#

yes*

#

multi is 0.25 not 0.5

#

standard scan with id 11

prime musk
#

also how does 4c2 scan work

#

like if you do main only it scales

#

but if you do overload and put in datasphere does it stop scaling?

little pilot
#

if you do overload it does not yeah

#

the moment u pickup the datasphere the main extract scan dissapears and simultaneously the overload extract scan appears

#

exact same for r4d2 or other levels with same mechanic if there are any

prime musk
#

5c3

#

i think that's the only one

little pilot
#

actually i don't know if dissapears is a good description

#

changes is probably more accurate

prime musk
#

does scan progress carry over??

little pilot
#

someone should test if doing 50% of the scan on main and then going to pickup the objective item resets the progress OR leaves the progress to be the same

#

yea

#

needs testing

#

cant right now

prime musk
#

i can take a look

little pilot
#

fun fact about r4c2: the main scan speed multi is 0.5 while overload has 0.2

#

so if it would carry over "technically" it's a timesave surely

prime musk
#

i mean

little pilot
#

it is not

prime musk
#

it's pretty significant if the scan difference is like 30s or smth

little pilot
#

u wanna get glps while carrying melon

little pilot
#

so it is significant

prime musk
#

tgb

#

i tested

#

i did main scan to 80%

#

went and grabbed datasphere

#

and coming back the scan was the exact same with requirement of datasphere

#

kept % and scaling

timber shoal
#

so you can preload it?

prime musk
#

stepping in triggers an error but yes

timber shoal
#

oh right

prime musk
#

well

#

it\s like if you deal with a error of normals on top of error of shadows but you save a minute of extract

little pilot
#

sadly i dont even think it is worth preloading in normal PE either

prime musk
#

yee

#

datasphere carry is far too long for it to be worth

#

most of the time you can spawncap shadows behind you as well so

little pilot
#

r4d2 it is not worth either, r5c3 probably not cause there's a lot of teamscans

prime musk
#

r5c3 im not sure
does the last key door have a teamscan

#

it does right

cedar heath
#

Any difference in r4a2?

little pilot
little pilot
#

so it is always the same time

prime musk
#

idt it\s worth in 5c3 it\s just way too far to run

cedar heath
#

Oh, extraction time scaling only works with secondary and overload.... got it

tardy ingot
#

Typically items just spawn too far away

little pilot
tardy ingot
#

Also sry for comin in late
Couldve verified that it works like zed tested from back when we did extract cargo skip testing

little pilot
#

i highly doubt u even remotely get back in time for the secondary scan

prime musk
#

well 5c3 does not feature a secondary scan

#

but there is teamscans in the secondary to reach

#

i suppose

#

stepping into the scan "saves" that it scales so MAYBE it's worth

tardy ingot
#

I guess if you are insanely lucky in r4c2 you could theoretically preload a few %

prime musk
#

the big thing isn't really preloading it's that you get to keep the scaling scan imo

#

because it means that when cargo arrives you have to spend 20s in scan instead of 80s

tardy ingot
#

oh thats a thing monkaHmm

tardy ingot
little pilot
#

please keep in mind that r4c2 the "theoretical" seed is not possible

#

like i dont think you rolling a 1/1000^16

tardy ingot
#

Id say it moreso

#

in that you delay datasphere by 40 seconds (send solo) and rush the main

#

so you win 40 seconds

#

like if you send someone solo vs 2 people

#

for datasphere

#

Then 1 person grabs sec late

little pilot
#

yea but don't u wanna gather the glps while the melon is being carried?

tardy ingot
#

2-3 people grab main stuff

little pilot
#

even if u delay it you'd have to delay by far more than 20 seconds

tardy ingot
#

you arent waiting for the pick up

#

you go

#

split up asap

prime musk
#

it's a lot of running to get back to main tbf

tardy ingot
#

issue is rng and run time tho tbf

prime musk
#

datasphere really is not that deep

tardy ingot
#

lets say

#

You get all in 12

prime musk
#

compared to the far glps

tardy ingot
#

most in 10

#

all or most in 11

little pilot
#

1 person on secondary, 2 and 3rd eventually on main is fucking really bad...

tardy ingot
#

then you still need the ones from 14/8

little pilot
#

u need to grab 3 zones which is ok but they are far

tardy ingot
#

And I dont think you reach 8/14 before datasphere is picked up even with solo hunting dor it

#

I mean you have 80 seconds of leeway

#

We could test

#

what duo going in

#

vs solo going in

#

compared to runback to 14 glps

little pilot
#

i am willing to help testing it

#

BUT

#

i doubt it is even remotely faster compared to just duo goes in for melon and 2 people run back to secondary and main

tardy ingot
#

eh I can do that alone realistically

Since duo just means you trust your defender

#

But yea

Theres also the fact that usual route cares less about rng

#

since datasphere gotta move

prime musk
#

well with this "pre charge" of main
you REALLY REALLY care about your glps since they directly determine the delay of datasphere

little pilot
#

also doesn't aiming for this mean u gotta essentially pick the glps from the fog zone instantly before going towards the 2nd main alarm?

prime musk
#

i think so

#

like you are never getting those in time it's just
way to far to run

little pilot
#

what is the fog zone number?

tardy ingot
tardy ingot
little pilot
#

ok i mean

#

a 1/5 4 times...

#

ehh

#

0.16%

tardy ingot
#

Acrually

#

Tgb

little pilot
#

jesus

#

oh no

tardy ingot
#

Fucked idea

#

You send someone

little pilot
#

during alarm?

tardy ingot
#

During the alarm to zone 12

little pilot
#

ye

#

fuck

#

shit

tardy ingot
#

xD

prime musk
#

you probably send 2

little pilot
#

nah 1

tardy ingot
#

nah

little pilot
#

1 is more than enough

tardy ingot
#

you gotta do alarm, get key and glps

#

In mom zone

prime musk
#

oh during THAT alarm

#

that checks out

tardy ingot
#

yeye

prime musk
#

i was thinking of doing it during the 1st alarm

tardy ingot
#

its the longest time you get

#

where you are still close

#

And doing it earlier

#

Is death

#

You dont survive when you pull the blood door

prime musk
#

why?

tardy ingot
#

like 6 hybrids

prime musk
#

omg my favorite gun for r4c2

#

sniper

tardy ingot
#

ah yes

#

kill and get the fresh wave spawn

#

or die anyways

prime musk
#

no like i understand it would be completely abysmal

tardy ingot
#

but yea you run during zone 12 alarm

#

Least time loss aswell

#

If you run during zone 10 alarm you will be late

#

Issue

prime musk
#

you probably to teamscan to z11 before z12 alarm then as well

tardy ingot
#

You now are rolling about a 1 in 1000

little pilot
#

And for a minute timesave on end it is worth even if you tank like 30 seconds in next zone

tardy ingot
#

which… sucks

tardy ingot
#

It depends on if zone 14 runner is time gate or zone 12 grabbers

prime musk
#

z12 rolling probably

#

sucks

#

2 keys

#

glps

little pilot
#

I mean... Is there any downside to team scanning during z12 alarm too?

prime musk
#

mom somewhere

tardy ingot
#

nah you kinda just full kill

#

with 3 people

little pilot
#

Ah I think z12 is too far

#

Nvm

tardy ingot
#

youd do 11 -> 12 if 14 runner is timegate by a lot

#

or 12 -> 11 (once done) if not or 12 grabbers are

prime musk
#

is there a place for z13 in this route (since it is less running from ovl to get there?)

little pilot
#

Z13 sucks to clear solo

tardy ingot
#

than 12

#

unless you mean over 14

prime musk
#

´nono instead of 14

tardy ingot
#

but then its too slow

prime musk
#

12 is required because of keys

tardy ingot
#

Alarm scan takes ages

#

Since you need to do them

little pilot
#

Yea

prime musk
#

mm

tardy ingot
#

And full team run

#

actually im 99% sure

prime musk
#

what about
do teamscan to 12
do teamscan to 11
do teamscan to 13
split up to do scans and get 12 and 13 in parallell
to skip 14

tardy ingot
#

That you can geab zone 12/14 and 10

#

during the time there

#

You sack like 20 seconds

#

and then only need zone 11

#

Which is free

#

so you might even be able to so a 2-2

#

at which point it depends solely on the run time

little pilot
#

12 and 13 in parallel is really bad

tardy ingot
#

From ovl to extract

little pilot
#

Alarms are really far

tardy ingot
prime musk
#

yee it makes sense

tardy ingot
#

the rng is still abyssmal btw

#

1/100 for 4 zone setup generally

#

1/200 for specific

#

1/400 if you add ids sec

#

if you want a decent datasphere

#

Its probably around 1/2000

#

then good ids in 14 (are kinda necessary) is 1/5000 minimum

#

if The runner can get from ovl to main

#

in time

#

if not we spare all this bs

little pilot
#

New YouTube title: "how we used a data center to reset for optimal r4c2 PE rng"

#

Or

#

"how much water did we waste for optimal r4c2 PE rng"

prime musk
#

realistically you are not rolling for datasphere when you are rolling for the glps in question

tardy ingot
#

Since you still care about carry duration

little pilot
#

Honestly this seems like a strat for setseed

tardy ingot
#

absolutely

#

though at that point the run becomes very funky

little pilot
#

The rng is already on the level of r1a1

tardy ingot
#

and it still depends

#

On if ovl to main run

#

Is fast enough

#

compared to spawn

prime musk
#

i will say
i think instead of rolling for any of the glps

#

a realistic route for an actual run is probably hitting the really rare but close datasphere or smth

#

and insta carrying it

#

because by the time it reaches extract main is completed regardless of how you rolled glps as long as you don't need any extra teamscans

tardy ingot
#

well yea that was the prior idea for the route

#

As it can also run a 5 zone

frail heart
#

Maybe Kenny’s dream of running r4c2 PE will come true

tardy ingot
#

Which makes the run waaaaaay more realistic anyway

little pilot
#

honestly r4c2 is an interesting speed

#

it's just

tardy ingot
#

Rng

little pilot
#

the resets are just crazy

frail heart
#

You don’t wanna know what tgb was gonna say

any advice for r1d1 solo

timber shoal

lets say both

we restarted the lobby and all too

timber shoal
viscid wolf
#

yeah we did

#

and we didnt touch any doors after the checkpoint

timber shoal
#

you typed EVAL_INIT into the term?

viscid wolf
#

nvm

#

i might be stupid

timber shoal
#

plus its decent into bigs

#

sniper sentry will be good too because the sightlines are goated

#

sawed off because sawed off

#

that'd be my recommendation

wicked flame
#

and for the invis strikers at the end?

timber shoal
#

use your flashlight

#

thats about all you can do

#

otherwise you sacrifice sawed off for pdw

wicked flame
#

wont thermal scopes work?

timber shoal
#

they will

wicked flame
#

oh i see

timber shoal
#

sawed off is just miles away in strength from every other main weapon

long atlas
timber shoal
#

also true

#

shoot what you need to but run past what you can

wicked flame
#

havent tried sawed off yet ill give it a go

long atlas
#

This is after reactor of course

wicked flame
#

yes

timber shoal
#

its got more range than you'd expect and it oneshots smalls

wicked flame

i spam all the time XD

i spam shots like the bandits spam voicelines in stalker

alright then imma give sawed off a shot thank yuo very much

Can you do TeamWork achievement (noone falls) with only 3 players? (no bots)

#

I remember doing mine with just me, a foam launcher and kiting on R1A1

#

but maybe I'm misremembering

dapper kestrel
#

work together achievement specifies 4 players for the no teammate downed

ocean spindle
#

TeamWork achievement:3

safe cradle
#

It's R1A1 it takes longer to find a team for it than to say "permafoam"

ocean spindle
#

im on uni

cedar heath
#

Which rundown is best for the low-tech achievement?

timber shoal
#

r6c1 is a pretty easy level for it imo

ocean spindle
#

r1c2s p gaming too

#

lots of funnels in every alarm

timber shoal
#

not a very difficult level to begin with plus no shadows or anything that'd necessitate bio

raven copper
#

r6c1 is also the best lvl in the game

#

one of

cedar heath
#

Tks for the recommendation. I'll give it a try tomorrow

raven copper
#

its so good

#

I think dodo an I did tru duo no tool that lvl as well xd

upbeat flame
#

I did r3c1 like a psychopath cuz I thought r3 was easy

#

which yknow what, for the most part it was

#

that was perhaps just not the optimal level for low tech

tiny wyvern
vestal crest
#

In r4e1 during the surge alarm is it best to have both burst sentries close to the scan or close to the big door leading to the scan room?

#

I’m guessing close to the scan since it delays enemy spawns a bit?

raven copper
#

you can put em on the like rocks that go back an forth that they path on

#

that little whindy aaahhh path

vestal crest
#

My group took a break from that level and I’ve been realizing how shit our error alarm plan is

tiny wyvern
vestal crest
#

Yeah we got past the error twice with it

#

But both times we were basically counting on our scatter gun player to kill the last tank since we all were 0% on ammo

prime musk
#

are you finding all the ammo

vestal crest
#

Usually

prime musk
#

how many tanks are you fighting before surge usually

vestal crest
#

I think we are fighting 1 too many

prime musk
#

fighting 3 is standard (1 before every alarm)

#

as long as your tank kill is reasonably efficient (which it is if you scatter is the main damage dealer to it) you shouldn't worry about taking 4 or 5 though

#

it is NEVER worth it to skip an ammo pack to avoid a tank

vestal crest
#

Yeah I think we are doing 4-5

#

Our plan was basically this, kill first tank, pull first alarm, loot for resources, kill second tank/enter next zone, pull alarm, search for resources, enter 3rd zone/kill tank, clear/loot fourth zone, kill 4th tank and pull surge, lower fog and kill 5th tank

calm pulsar
#

You can actually get away with pulling surge before tank spawns

frail heart
#

ya

#

if you can pull surge before tank spawn you should

#

because surge will alwas block out tank

vestal crest
#

Surge stops tank right?

calm pulsar
#

Since surge will fill spawn cap

vestal crest
#

Ah yeah

#

Even the second alarm can stop a tank as we discovered

calm pulsar
#

Eh kinda

frail heart
#

yeah but its only if a wave is alive

vestal crest
#

Ye

frail heart
#

once you kill wave itll spawn

calm pulsar
#

A bit risky to try if you don't know what you're doing

vestal crest
#

We only pull the second alarm if we are behind less than 20 seconds

#

Usually

#

We’ve only had issues once

#

Delaying one tank delays all tanks right?

calm pulsar
#

Another thing to take into consideration is how efficiently you kill tank

ocean spindle
#

no

#

i believe it only delays current tank

frail heart
#

but ideally you should kill first tank, grab ammo first zone, do first alarm, loot up a bit in second zone, kill second tank, do alarm, push in zone a bit or loot whatever you didnt get, kill third tank, loot surge zone, do surge, kill tank, plug cells, profit

vestal crest
#

When we delayed the tank with the second alarm all future tanks were ~20 seconds off

calm pulsar
#

More time spent killing a tank means more ammo spent and more time for next one to spawn

prime musk
frail heart
ocean spindle
#

damn nevermind

vestal crest
#

Neat

ocean spindle
#

u learn something every day

vestal crest
#

We definitely stressed the fourth tank too much then

frail heart
#

yep

#

you could pull surge 10s before tank is meant to spawn and you wont get the tank

#

just as long as you pull before tank spawn

prime musk
#

that said IF you kill a tank right before surge, you will have time to put in the cells before next time spawns

vestal crest
#

But if we delay tank with surge we will get 1 tank to deal with during cells?

prime musk
#

yes

#

or well, after surge

vestal crest
#

I’m good at entertaining the tank while my friends insert cells so that should work well

#

It might be troublesome to kill surge enemies with tank tho

#

Oh wait

calm pulsar
#

Tank takes his time

vestal crest
#

I forgot you can wait to open the generator zone

#

I was worried about killing surge enemies with sleeping bbcs lol

calm pulsar
#

I mean, if you have bio go in, or a scatter, it's not bad

#

Definitely depends on how comfortable you are at wave clear

vestal crest
#

We are fairly good

#

We just go a bit slower because having a bot makes things a little tricky sometimes

calm pulsar
#

Generally can have two go in clearing room (or just moving cells if skipping killing is possible) while other two kill

vestal crest
#

I guess what I’m thinking is all 4 of us clear surge wave and make sure the tank is in the previous room (one right before the big surge room), then 2 can run ahead while I stick behind and hold tank

tacit cedar
#

your scatter person can solo the bbcs if they get pulled and pinged instantly

#

but you might want them behind to help with the tank

calm pulsar
#

Eh

vestal crest
#

I’m a little hesitant to go into the fog zone as biotracker. Our mine guy has internet issues so holding a tank might be problematic, so that leaves either the scatter guy or me (bio) to hold the tank

#

It’s kinda sucky

calm pulsar
#

You also have the option of ignoring tank and letting the people inside deal with it

#

If your scatter went in *

vestal crest
#

Our current plan is that I hold tank (not really trying to kill it) while the cells get put in

#

Then we regroup and kill

#

Having a fourth person would make killing it so much easier

prime musk
vestal crest
#

Have 1 person do both cells?

prime musk
#

it doesn't really matter how you split but i would recommend 2-2

calm pulsar
#

I think they're trio

vestal crest
#

Yeah bot

#

3/4 competent players

#

Having scatter and other kill tank while bio inserts cells seems kinda good tbh

#

Honestly it’s not the error alarm we are struggling with at this point, just wanted to make it a little smoother

calm pulsar
#

Again like zed said, if you're fast enough

#

You can kill tank and wave with 3 and have 2 carry cells in

#

While one goes back to avoid infect

vestal crest
#

Yeah we try to only have one person in the room when the last cell goes in

#

That same person gets turbine

prime musk
#

you should have that person be across from all the fog when last cell goes in already

calm pulsar
#

You just have one person rush to the sec door that has turbine before cells get plugged

prime musk
#

so that they take 0% and can carry the turbine back to the others so that they take 0%

vestal crest
#

Oh true

calm pulsar
#

Just make sure your cell pluggers sit on the cat walk above

vestal crest
#

With the disinfect pack though we are at 0% infection after getting the turbine

#

Last cell+running to get turbine is less than 40% infection

#

But yeah delaying the tank seems like it would give us so much more breathing room

#

On an unrelated note, how efficient does the code runner in the secondary have to be? I feel like resources get really tight towards code 6

prime musk
#

you have effectively infinite resources in the secondary

vestal crest
#

We had one run end because hybrids overwhelmed us (and we were getting really low on ammo and 0% tool), our second run ended during 5th code because of a catastrophic misclick in mother room (and resources were also looking rather scarce)

prime musk
#

connector to reactor has 20 uses
reactor has 10 uses
back connector has another 20 uses
moms has like 15 uses

#

moms resources are inaccessible during the run itself

vestal crest
#

Yeah

prime musk
#

but if you take the moment to loot back connector/back reactor during earlier waves you should NEVER be remotely tight

vestal crest
#

I’m guessing finding a quick and safe route in mom room is essential

#

I think our resource runner did fine but maybe didn’t get everything

prime musk
#

having a good route in moms is pretty nice but it should matter

vestal crest
#

I’m also trying to figure out the hybrids, they were just barely too much pressure our first run

prime musk
#

my personal "benchmark" for resources when holding is that it is 25% sentry and a 2 use ammo per wave, 3 use if it is wave 6

#

specifically the ammo here is also a very generous overestimate

vestal crest
#

Yeah tool though?

prime musk
#

yeah 25% sentry per wave is pretty reasonable

#

it is usually what it takes

#

for reference in an 8 cycle of reactor i usually need to find 1 big tool (4+) and burn all of it and it lasts through all of reactor

vestal crest
#

Is it worth running down earlier waves with no sentries to ensure we have tool for the last wave?

#

We have never had tool go far enough

prime musk
#

tool is a lot more limited than ammo ye

#

if you don't lose hp to it you should

vestal crest
#

Yeah I shouldn’t during 1-5

#

Those are all super manageable

prime musk
vestal crest
#

I see

#

We ran into issues with hybrids pushing us back and shadows entering reactor

#

But only after like 5-6 reactor sequences

#

Like I said slightly too much pressure

prime musk
#

if your wave 6 is taking more than 3 cycles something is seriously wrong on codehunt end

vestal crest
#

That last zone looks like hell

prime musk
#

are they playing bio?

vestal crest
#

No

#

Pdw

#

Scatter

prime musk
#

that zone is BY FAR the easiest if they are playing bio and burst cannon or pdw and burst cannon

#

scatter requries getting close which is just. scary

#

but with burst cannon they can just pull every room and shoot scouts from afar

#

even then pdw scatter taking 5 cycles is
concerning

#

do they like
play around 10m rule

vestal crest
#

It was our first attempt there

#

Horrible scouts

#

Far terminal

prime musk
#

oh ok if so that makes sense

#

as long as you don't have scout in B and scout in C the scouts don't matter

#

the big issue is just if you have a scout in B that you can't shoot because you have a scout in C

vestal crest
#

We had both b and c

prime musk
#

well im starting to understand why it took so long

vestal crest
#

Yeah our code hunter really tried to stealth that room

#

Took too long

prime musk
#

you should not stealth those rooms ever

vestal crest
#

I think he did A loud

prime musk
#

with bio MAYBE you can stealth something

#

but without you pull every room 1 at a time

vestal crest
#

I’m guessing A is the connecting room and B/C are room dividers and terminals?

prime musk
#

ye

vestal crest
#

How do you manage double far scout? B and C

#

Burst cannon B from far away?

#

Hope c does hear?

prime musk
#

you try to force melee scout in B and shoot scout in C

vestal crest
#

Ah

#

I’m guessing PDW can substitute bio good enough?

#

I don’t want to bring 2 bios or try reactor hold without one

prime musk
#

for purposes of stealth pdw is completely fine

#

for active combat it's a lot worse

frail heart
#

pretty safe and reliable option

vestal crest
#

I’m guessing double bio is the other option than pdw?

prime musk
burnt inlet
frail heart
#

double bio isnt bad to take

raven copper
#

I like it

vestal crest
#

Ok we just rely on double sentry quite a bit for error

#

Kind of

#

Mainly just the surge

prime musk
#

double sentry double bio is very strong

#

like mines is GOOD
but not at all required

frail heart
#

^

#

you can find an explosive mine

prime musk
#

(and also even if you don't you just play B)

vestal crest
#

Hmm. I guess idk how much the code runner depends on mines

#

But if you can find them that might be nice

prime musk
#

it is ONLY the blood door that mines matter at all for

#

everywhere else bio is SIGNIFICANTLY better

#

but blood door is the hardest (more accurately, most mechanically demanding) spike of difficulty in the code hunt when doing it solo

upbeat flame
#

I've really only done double bio mine and sentry

#

I don't know where double sentry is that strong in error

#

maybe for surge?

prime musk
#

it basically full kills the surge for you

upbeat flame
#

yeah good point

prime musk
#

double sentry is also really good for ||class 6 at ending||

#

and it does help your reactor hold at the cost of being harder to keep up with resources

upbeat flame
#

reactor was very manageable with only one on the bright side if you do want to take mines

upbeat flame
#

you would probably only place down the 2nd for late waves no?

prime musk
#

personally it has always been an issue of not having the time and space to refill both

#

but i also have only played double sentry in the quad speeds really

#

ie we one cycle reactor

upbeat flame
#

One cycle is crazy work I assume you just run it down and kill everything

#

How do you deal with the blood doors?

prime musk
#

i mean yeah

#

you kill the blood door

#

well 2 people kill it

#

3rd player jumps through and grabs cell and leaves

upbeat flame
#

Oh so only one person defends, that makes a lot of sense

#

For some reason I thought 2 were defending that didn’t clock

prime musk
#

having 2 defending is not doable because it means you only have 1 person for code 6

#

which makes one cycle very inconsistent and also just slower even when it does occur

#

it is also purposeless because solo defending is like
really not hard at our level of gameplay

upbeat flame
#

Oh does the person who takes cell back get code 5 from chargers and the instaplug to code 6?

prime musk
#

i think the last time it got scary was because we pulled 4 scouts and i got pushed back when i had to plug codes

prime musk
#

and then cell plugger takes over reactor defense for a moment there

#

for wave 6 you have 2 ppl as well

upbeat flame
#

Oh so a swap

prime musk
#

but it's usually solo defense while other player does resource management and code plug

upbeat flame
#

I see

#

Do you guys just ignore the final ||tank and mom onto extraction||

prime musk
#

we kill mom

#

then kill tank on extract

frail heart
#

sometimes

#

like its just not viable

#

esp bc solo hold is so easy with hel rifle and sentry

#

relative

upbeat flame
#

Wym 50/50

prime musk
frail heart
#

ya

#

reactor is ideally just time gated until code 6

upbeat flame
#

Oh you mean 50/50 terminal spawn?

frail heart
#

where getting code fast matters

frail heart
#

you basically have to gamble 1 term

#

which is what people used to do lol

#

and we got made fun of for solo holding

upbeat flame
#

So what’s the not viable part about this

frail heart
#

ahhhh the good ol days

its the same as rolling for keys

#

do you know what logs are?

#

Is this that logger thing yall be talking about

#

Oh ok

#

How important is ammo economy as you progress? Between the enemies dodging around whenever I aim at them, my character looking all around whenever they take a hit, and bots walking in front of me I am genuinely missing like half my shots minimum lol

timber shoal

for many reasons

Ammo isn't quite as tight in this game as people would claim, but not missing shots definitely helps a LOT

~70% acc. is probably good enough for the entire game, though.

<50% is bad and worth improving

#

You can also consider taking weapons that dont rely on being very precise to be effective

minor fractal
#

High-cal is probably underrated because of

#

When I check my accuracy in replay

#

I'm always surprised that my Revo HS and High-cal BS brings the ammo pools a lot closer together

safe cradle
#

yeah I remember a conversation some years ago about Hical and the gist of it was "just aim body at everything and call it a day"

minor fractal
#

85% acc. HCP -> 8.5 BS
80% acc./70% crit Revo -> 10.29 HS

#

Obv it's not entirely that simple

#

Revo bodyshots are still really good

#

and there are other things to compare

#

(also I lose some crit acc. on giants and such)

safe cradle
#

Revo reloads much faster but the QoL of just body-onetapping normal strikers makes me want to take HiCal a lot more than Revo

prime ore
#

I forgot revolver even existed mostly because I picked high cal way more because it's way better for charger missions

Does the health bar turning yellow after running a lot have any adverse effects or is it just to signal low stamina

And the yellow syringe boosts damage for a bit but shows as the same yellow health bar?

mystic rock

and the yellow syringe effect is indeed the same color but without the yellow stamina flash

#

infection warning happens at >86% and health warning at <14% if you want other tresholds for those flashes

where we collect data on every gtfo pub

In lfg

Omg

upper ginkgo

i have 2k messages in lfg-na

past mesa

There is about 2 million messages overall

Honestly this could be done in maybe like a day or two

upper ginkgo

and maybe like 30% of them are shitposts

past mesa
#

Also voxy would you just ingore someone double posting for levels

#

like someone goes r1d1 then 2 mins later says it again

upper ginkgo
#

probably not

#

like you'd probably just use the timestamp and then determine a post as "new" if 30 minutes have elapsed since the og post

past mesa

Ehhh string computation is fast so surely it wouldn’t take to long to run through all the messages

yeah even if you write a script in python i don't think it'll take too long to finish

With alpha beta pruning and a position table

Or iterative depth searches

upper ginkgo

yeah i have no idea what this means cause i took like two cs classes in uni

It is just a depth searching algorithm the depth positions and legal moves are supposed to give you an idea of how many positions

#

Are the tank and mother spawns at the end of r4e1 fixed or is it random?

prime musk
#

it is static ish

#

there are two patterns

#

but both spawn them at a very similar location in the front of the room

vestal crest
#

Do they just switch spots sometimes? Is that what you meant?

prime musk
#

no, it's always tank to the left of pmom

#

but sometimes they spawn like
on top of each other

#

inside of each other

#

whatever you want to call it

vestal crest
#

Oh wack

prime musk
#

in that case they are in the middle of how they spawn when they are split

vestal crest
#

So is rushing pmom with a c-foam tripmine a decent strategy?

#

I was worried it might be inconsistent if the spawns were random

#

But if pmom is always right

prime musk
#

you should NOT go for the "speed" strategy of jumping through door and ctripping and killing pmom

#

but if you're willing to backtrack so that everyone can have a lot of health, and then learn the ctrip placement, and bring at least 2 client scatters

#

then you could play for it

vestal crest
#

What’s the alternative? Pulling tank out of the room and dealing with pmom later?

#

Hoping pmom gets stuck and doesn’t see you?

prime musk
#

the standard strategy is to pull out tank and ctrip tank to kill

#

you can do sentry aggro tech for pmom

vestal crest
prime musk
prime musk
#

place sentry

#

it shoots pmom

#

that player doesn't peek

#

everyone else can los freely

vestal crest
#

Wait that’s crazy lol

#

Always a good time learning new GTFO quirks

#

So in other words 3 players can get behind the pmom and shoot before she aggros?

prime musk
#

yeah

vestal crest
#

Might be a bit tricky with a bot shooting

#

Maybe just have the bot and sentry aggro guy camp together away from pmom?

#

Then 2 people can get behind before she aggros

#

Actually can mother even aggro bots?

prime musk
#

yes

vestal crest
#

So just to make sure I have this right, you pull tank out of the apex door through the room divider and ctrip him, meanwhile a sentry facing into the apex door aggros mom so 2-3 people can rush into apex room without pmom aggroing?

prime musk
#

the strategy i would suggest (assuming you have 2 ctrips) is almost as you describe

#

place sentry facing away from matrix door but on it so that it continually shoots mom to reaggro
ctrip on wall in divider so that when tank sprints through it triggers and your scatter(s) and burst cannon(s) can just kill

#

then use aggro to get free approach and ctrip on mom

ocean spindle
#

does mom aggroes in normal circumstances to whoev does los first?

vestal crest
#

Oohhh I see

#

So you can ctrip both and make it free

prime musk
#

ie it is largely random

ocean spindle
#

why does it always seem to spawn when any player peeks?

#

not just like r4e1 sentry situation but any, a normal team of 4 hiding in r3d1

prime musk
#

well in r3d1 it tends to be the case that everyone give her los at roughly the same time

#

but in general having los when she triggers a reaggro

#

means you're getting aggrod on

frail heart
prime musk
#

pretty sure they are at least moved a bit to the right of where tank usually is

#

even if it isn't middle middle

ocean spindle
#

#

i rlly thought mom just had like universal aggro

#

waos

prime musk
#

im sure you know how los works for tank and how you grab aggro by shooting it, it's the same for mom

#

hiding from tank when another player has los just instantly loses aggro on you and gives aggro to the other player

vestal crest
#

I’m guessing when sentry stops shooting mom she reaggros pretty quick?

prime musk
#

it is

#

inconsistent

vestal crest
#

W

prime musk
#

because she does need to roll a reaggro

#

sometimes it stops shooting and you can full sprint to her and afk for 15s before she births, and sometimes she can almost isntantly reaggro on someone else

ocean spindle
vestal crest
#

Point Kid would go crazy with that info

prime musk
#

so true

vestal crest
#

Well I’m guessing even if she reaggros at least we should be able to ctrip her while she is in the birthing animation

#

Thanks for the guidance, I just gotta actually pass the secondary first

prime musk
#

foaming a mom or pmom after babies have begun spawning in does NOT stop the birth

vestal crest
#

Oh 🔥

#

I see the issue

#

If we ctrip while she is in the windup?

fathom ice
#

while she's in windup it's fine

#

whenever she actually births she just will keep birthing

vestal crest
#

Wrong reaction lmao

prime musk
#

you can also waait for pmom to scream to approach

#

it is deceptively one of (if not the?) longest scream animations in the entire game

#

with sentry aggro and only approaching on scream you're 99.9% likely to get foam trip off on her
