#

I think there is a bit of a meta to it

#

I find the shotguns to be best when doing defense missions

#

but the machine gun fits well in all the other scenerios where you're dealing with random bursts of hordes

#

but that's just my preference

manic tiger Dec 19, 2019, 6:28 PM

#

I like smg/revolver

slate cedar Dec 19, 2019, 6:29 PM

#

thanks for sharing your experiences, though I have another question about the c-foam gun, how do you reinforce the doors with it, just shoot on the door with it?

manic tiger Dec 19, 2019, 6:30 PM

#

Yes

potent kettle Dec 19, 2019, 6:30 PM

#

Twice

#

Two full charge

manic tiger Dec 19, 2019, 6:30 PM

#

It takes a decent amount, one c foam grenade ay center of mass will do the same

slate cedar Dec 19, 2019, 6:31 PM

#

okay, thank you

ivory nexus Dec 19, 2019, 6:34 PM

#

How do you take out a scout successfully.

#

It spreads out those tentacles way too often to sneak up on it.

cinder flare Dec 19, 2019, 6:35 PM

#

Snipe them in the head is a 1 shot way to do it

#

alternatively, you can cfoam them and then hammer them to death

ivory nexus Dec 19, 2019, 6:35 PM

#

But dont bullets alert the sleepers

cinder flare Dec 19, 2019, 6:35 PM

#

and if you can get close enough, you can just straight up hammer them, but that's very difficult lmao

#

they do

#

bit with scouts, you basically have to choose

#

kill the scout and wake the room

#

or

#

don't kill the scout and accidently alert it which then wakes teh room AND spawns more waves

ivory nexus Dec 19, 2019, 6:36 PM

#

Cause with scout it seems like when it gets alerted it alerts a huge majority of the levels sleepers

cinder flare Dec 19, 2019, 6:36 PM

#

that's why most people opt to just shoot the scout and deal with the remaining sleepers

ivory nexus Dec 19, 2019, 6:36 PM

#

Ah

cinder flare Dec 19, 2019, 6:36 PM

#

yeah, an alerted scout literally spawns in more sleepers

ivory nexus Dec 19, 2019, 6:36 PM

#

That makes sense

#

That's why there's sleepers flanking us

manic tiger Dec 19, 2019, 6:36 PM

#

The enemies the scout spawns did not exist in the game at all. It is extra resource wasting mobs that it spawns

ivory nexus Dec 19, 2019, 6:37 PM

#

Also how can you tell the difference between the big Bois and the standing sleepers

manic tiger Dec 19, 2019, 6:37 PM

#

Titans are twice the height

cinder flare Dec 19, 2019, 6:37 PM

#

yeah the titans are literally giants

#

if you can't tell, then it's definitely a sleeper

#

looking at a giant, there's no mistaking it

manic tiger Dec 19, 2019, 6:38 PM

#

The titans also have a very distinct idle "gurgling roar"

ivory nexus Dec 19, 2019, 6:39 PM

#

Yeah most memorable moments for me so far was sneaking through a room with 6+ titans on B1

cinder flare Dec 19, 2019, 6:41 PM

#

yeah, they are super spooky lmao

ivory nexus Dec 19, 2019, 6:43 PM

#

So when does this current rotate out

#

I don't see a timer

cinder flare Dec 19, 2019, 6:49 PM

#

The dev's are analyzing the data on how quickly people are able to finish the rundowns

#

also

#

they're taking a vacation over new years

#

sometime in January we might see some news on that front

#

but they overall just need to see how fast people beat it so they can come up with a time that makes sense moving forward

zenith sun Dec 19, 2019, 8:25 PM

#

So i think they will get more reliable data after rundown 002 because of hype and premiere of Early Access. >.>

tired burrow Dec 19, 2019, 8:45 PM

#

its also to give the community at large time to play the levels and practice thier skills

#

bug testing and gameplay refinement too

ivory nexus Dec 19, 2019, 9:02 PM

#

I feel like it'll be a while. I got lucky and someone carried me through A1. I have yet to beat it work any other group.

tired burrow Dec 19, 2019, 9:05 PM

#

and rightly so... this isn't an easy game. its like raiding in Mmo's you really have to get into it and play. listen to sounds, stealth killing is a must!!! when ever possible.

stark blaze Dec 19, 2019, 9:15 PM

#

@ivory nexus no worries, what I enjoy doing is going in solo during downtime when my team isn’t on and just experimenting with different tactics and see what works. You’d be surprised at what you can do solo and many of those tactics can be brought into team play

#

Also gets you more comfortable with the map

manic tiger Dec 19, 2019, 9:15 PM

#

I often feel mixed about joining groups for runs I've cleared. Kinda want people to clear it themselves and don't want to take a spot for someone who hasn't

hello,I would like to know when there will be a patch to add a French translation

coarse nacelle Dec 19, 2019, 10:09 PM

#

I don't see any option to join a lobby on the left side of my screen like the #how-to-matchmake channel suggests. Do I have to do something to unlock this?

tribal ether Dec 19, 2019, 10:10 PM

#

You have to copy the code, then you should see it

eternal pike Dec 19, 2019, 10:16 PM

#

Has anyone been able to test controller support after the patch? Id like to pick up the game but I would only be able to play with a controller.

slate spruce Dec 20, 2019, 12:45 AM

#

@winged iron ill ne ya pas de data, mais they will translate the menu some day its on the roadmap

#

https://gtfothegame.com/roadmap/

heady grotto Dec 20, 2019, 2:19 AM

#

@eternal pike I use a controller. I use the steam controller config utility. It has worked great for me.

sharp thunder Dec 20, 2019, 2:28 AM

#

Can you snipe a scout while the tentacles are out?

#

Or are they invulnerable then?

static citrus Dec 20, 2019, 2:29 AM

#

They're only invincible when you have a red tentacle. I think there's a /couple/ of frames but I'm not sure

sharp thunder Dec 20, 2019, 2:34 AM

#

Thank you

slate spruce Dec 20, 2019, 2:34 AM

#

What

#

I had no problems killing them

#

Would like to test that myself

sharp thunder Dec 20, 2019, 2:36 AM

#

I was just asking for clarification. We weren't sure if the tentacles being out would make them unkillable from ranged

sharp thunder Dec 20, 2019, 3:05 AM

#

Okay, I have to ask. What is the point of the long range flashlight? It seems like it's horribly useless because of how it could alert everything

static citrus Dec 20, 2019, 3:05 AM

#

If you sit up on the second floor of a fog room and point it along the ceiling, it can light everything up for your buddies.

craggy pier Dec 20, 2019, 3:09 AM

#

I got the minimum requirements for GTFO so anyone know how it'll run? because even if minimum requirements can be high games can run fine at times

#

To be honest, I'd run that by the people in #gtfo-technical-support

They're crazy over there.

use "commands" on terminals to check available abilites... dont forget "help" too

#

@static citrus Lil ||is a nerd||

#

Yes.

eternal pike Dec 20, 2019, 4:37 AM

#

@heady grotto thanks. Thatis awesome to hear. I am going to grab the game now and hope to find some players that will show me the ropes.

daring shard Dec 20, 2019, 5:34 AM

#

@eternal pike I recommend trying to find a game with players that are also new. You will probably die a few times but the first experience is a must in this game. It is sooooo much more fun that way in my opinion.

glacial grove Dec 20, 2019, 11:45 AM

#

During alarm sequences, do sleepers keep spawning until the sequence has been completed or is there a set number that spawn?

lilac fulcrum Dec 20, 2019, 11:48 AM

#

They keep spawning

glacial grove Dec 20, 2019, 11:50 AM

#

That's good to know tyvm

#

Can I also ask how to stealthfully kill a big striker

tribal ether Dec 20, 2019, 12:09 PM

#

four fully charged strikes at the same time

glacial grove Dec 20, 2019, 12:11 PM

#

peepoClap ty

solid lance Dec 20, 2019, 12:17 PM

#

does anyone know what the DMR is for?

#

it mostly seems to blow the head off but not actually kill them

floral pecan Dec 20, 2019, 12:22 PM

#

It does 1 hit kill sometimes

#

Otherwise it's 2 hits

#

Basically if you want to be good at long range.. pick that

#

Even if i feel like SMG is really good for some maps

#

You just need a balanced lodaout. If you'll run DMR, you will need something to clear groups of sleepers close to you, such as combat shottie

#

My new favourite is pistol for main weapon, even if in some missions i want that SMG

solid lance Dec 20, 2019, 12:28 PM

#

if DMR cant one shot every time though wouldnt smg be better?

zenith sun Dec 20, 2019, 1:36 PM

#

DMR one shot rangers in the head, normal strikers in 2 shots if i tested it correctly. >.>

humble pilot Dec 20, 2019, 2:47 PM

#

You sure you dont mix the two? Strikers have less hp Than shooters.

zenith sun Dec 20, 2019, 3:00 PM

#

Are you sure? I think strikers have more hp than shooters. + shooters have more defense on their body than strikers. >.>

humble pilot Dec 20, 2019, 3:10 PM

#

Based it on this from the devs, ludvig said : "the strikers should die in one hit fully charged hit, the shooters depending on if you hit them in the head."

#

So a shooter can survive a fully charged non headshot melee hit, while the striker is not.

#

There is not much info ingame.. so I wasn't even aware that defense is a thing. Assumed there is just weakspot multiplier.

#

He also confirmed that sometimes the enemy's head explodes after a hit.. when it is not supposed to, since you did not hit the actual weakspot/head.

zenith sun Dec 20, 2019, 3:16 PM

#

Yeah, i typed that. Maybe you just misunderstood >.<
Tbh i don't know if there's defense or not. This weakspot multiplier is giving more sense. >.>
Oh, good to know.~

solid lance Dec 20, 2019, 3:16 PM

#

it seems like there is a headshot multiplier and a separate headshot hitbox, and you can break the head before you fully deplete their health and kill them

#

so maybe the shooters have more hp but the same head health?

#

also i can confirm strikers die in one full charge swing, but shooters dont unless its a headshot

humble pilot Dec 20, 2019, 3:20 PM

#

@zenith sun I responded to this comment from you "DMR one shot rangers in the head, normal strikers in 2 shots if i tested it correctly. >.>", which indicated that the rangers/shooters die faster than strikers needing 1 vs 2 headshot to die from the same weapon/DMR, meaning strikers have more hp or at least e-hp on their head.. and that collides with what the dev stated, kinda.

Hey, I’ve got a squad of 4 people started last night and we’re stuck on A1, what’s the best advice you could give for passing security checks?

tribal ether Dec 20, 2019, 4:09 PM

#

Don't die

olive orchid Dec 20, 2019, 4:17 PM

#

look at what equipment your taking, shotgun sentries x2, 1 c foam is good, put both sentries on the outside of the door, foam it up and let the sentires do all the work while you clear the points

#

@shadow storm

shadow storm Dec 20, 2019, 4:18 PM

#

Wait

#

Why didn’t we think of putting sentries outside the door?

#

Tysm

olive orchid Dec 20, 2019, 4:19 PM

#

ive found its easier to try and hide around corners so they cant just sit back and long range you aswell

muted cedar Dec 20, 2019, 4:19 PM

#

do shotgun sentries outside the door facing towards the door with foam on the door to harden it

#how-to-matchmake

buoyant delta Dec 20, 2019, 6:36 PM

#

with Scouts, do most people just shoot them and deal with triggering whatever's nearby?

rapid whale Dec 20, 2019, 6:38 PM

#

Its possible to hammer kill them, just need to either time it correctly; or use C-foam to freeze it in place.

#

Either works though, its a matter if you're willing to take the risk. Snipe it and take on whatever is there, or accidentally setting it off because you touched it walking into you.

buoyant delta Dec 20, 2019, 6:40 PM

#

after you set it off, does it immediately go invincible or do you have a sec to kill it

rapid whale Dec 20, 2019, 6:41 PM

#

No its invincible while glowing

#

Even for like a second or two after the light dims too

tired burrow Dec 20, 2019, 6:49 PM

#

your best bet with scouts is to stealth mine kill it... or foam stealth kill...or headshot it with sniper and deal with the room... do not just shoot at it with other guns... when it screams its spawns monster in so now you have to deal with more/new ones too

rapid whale Dec 20, 2019, 6:58 PM

#

Don't get used to using the mines on them, at least for the purposes of stealth. Its a bug after all

tired burrow Dec 20, 2019, 7:02 PM

#

it probably is... a large explosion should wake them up lets be honest

rapid whale Dec 20, 2019, 7:03 PM

#

Yeah its been confirmed its a bug

tribal ether Dec 20, 2019, 7:03 PM

#

It could be that the explosion scares the shit out of the sleepers, so they decide to stay asleep

rapid whale Dec 20, 2019, 7:04 PM

#

Will be a good loud method in the future if no one wants to run the Sniper

tired burrow Dec 20, 2019, 7:04 PM

decide to stay asleep means they were awake to think 🙃

there are no suppressors, they wouldn't be effect anyways as they potentially lower bullet speed and range.

#

So,I'm really new to this game/community and I wanted to know:
Will people accept playing with me if I don't talk at all?

rapid whale Dec 21, 2019, 12:51 AM

#

There is one player that I know of that doesn't use a mic, unfortunately it seems like a lot of the later stage players don't appreciate this

dense sorrel Dec 21, 2019, 12:51 AM

#

oh

rapid whale Dec 21, 2019, 12:51 AM

#

And personally I don't understand, if a person can hear you

#

What's the problem?

dense sorrel Dec 21, 2019, 12:51 AM

#

yeah

rapid whale Dec 21, 2019, 12:52 AM

#

I assume you just mean not using a microphone right, cause there is a text chat in game

dense sorrel Dec 21, 2019, 12:53 AM

#

well yeah,just not microphone

#

of course using the text chat is totally fine

#

it's just talking that really bothers me

bleak lake Dec 21, 2019, 12:55 AM

#

Either like, get used to talking to people or perhaps it isnt the game for you

#

im also new but i imagine communication is key with the gameplay ive actually seen

dense sorrel Dec 21, 2019, 12:56 AM

#

Yeah I know,but so far in every single game i've ever played in my entire life

#

I've just

#

used text chat when there was one

rapid whale Dec 21, 2019, 12:57 AM

#

Communication is important, but it doesn't always have to be a 2 way street. As long as one person is leading and the rest are listening; that should be okay most of the time

dense sorrel Dec 21, 2019, 12:58 AM

#

yea,as I've said just because I'm going to use text chat doesn't mean I won't be listening to my teammates

craggy pier Dec 21, 2019, 1:23 AM

I know this might seem as if it were a slightly ridiculous question, but does someone mind explaining how I join a lobby from an id?

Once you have the ID copied, a button should appear on the Rundown screen

#

Ah alright, thank you.

fervent thunder Dec 21, 2019, 2:09 AM

#

So important question, When one lays down a mine underneath the big boi, okay, and it kills yourself and not him. Is he suppose just not aggro onto my teammates at all? He just kind of stood there and no one else in the room aggroed as well. Just curious if a mine going off is suppose to piss off the enemies.

desert yoke Dec 21, 2019, 2:10 AM

how to kill tentacle things without alerting rest of room

mild ravine Dec 22, 2019, 1:03 AM

#

U kill everything else first

#

but doing that is just a waste of time in general so our groups just kill what we can then execute it and fight the rest

vapid ginkgo Dec 22, 2019, 1:08 AM

#

@elder wren if you start approaching it as it’s tentacles are retracting, and charge your hammer, you can one shot it to the head. Alternatively, he doesn’t alert until his tentacles are retracted IIRC, so if one of his tentacles are red, get a charged melee hit in ASAP and you MAY be able to kill it before alerting too, but i’m not 100% sure. the first method is far better IMO, just make sure you hit the head

elder wren Dec 22, 2019, 1:09 AM

#

lol i timed the tentacles and ran in for a full charge smack but even without a head it still screamed

vapid ginkgo Dec 22, 2019, 1:10 AM

#

if you touch him he will scream too

mild ravine Dec 22, 2019, 1:10 AM

#

@elder wren yea the likelyhood of it living is like the other AI sometimes they live sometimes they dont

vapid ginkgo Dec 22, 2019, 1:11 AM

#

you need to 100% make sure you hit the head with a fully charged hit and you also need to make sure you u don’t touch his tentacles or his body

#

either will alert him almost immediately

#

@elder wren

you can join lobbies with the id code the host provides.... as for discord on desktop or phone etc...its good to use, although if you can listen on your phone with headphones and wifi... should work as well. most players i dont think mind if you can only listen. ideally thou yes you should have the discord app and a mic to play

Hi all, I’m new to the game and have played a few A1 rounds with random team mates and we seem to fail to complete the level for numerous reasons (ammo, health). We have only once got the coloured card and opened the section 52 door but prominently died. Are there and level by level strategy guides or some basic tips for playing the game? Also tips for weapons such as mine layer and bio tag?

floral pecan Dec 22, 2019, 11:17 AM

#

@pulsar bane Lots of em. My first question is if you guys played stealthly or used guns for everything

#

given you mentioned the reason you lost is ammo and health

pulsar bane Dec 22, 2019, 11:33 AM

#

Guns... little stealth

floral pecan Dec 22, 2019, 11:38 AM

#

that's why you guys are losing then

#

the game is ment to be stealthed

#

it gives you enough resources to fend off against SOME mistakes you guys might make

#

and security doors

#

but not for all the rooms

pulsar bane Dec 22, 2019, 11:39 AM

#

Yeah read this

#

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1936992841

floral pecan Dec 22, 2019, 11:46 AM

#

most of that is stuff i know already

#

either way, try to be more stealthly about it and you should be fine

#

if you want to do scans easily, simply put shotgun sentryes BEHIND closed doors

#

so while sleepers try to destroy the doors, they get shot

#

only thing i dislike about that guide is the guy saying MG is useless, which i totally disagree with

#

Can you take out the big guys if all 4 hit together?

floral pecan Dec 22, 2019, 7:51 PM

#

Yes. Usually the way you do it is 1 hits the head and 3 hit the stomach

#

reason why not all 4 hit the head is cause it will fly off and some might miss

#

however, it isn't consistant

#

sometimes they live enough to do 1 swing

#

(melee ones)

#

be sure to keep beating them till they are ded, they don't usually die with only 4 charged hits

#

i've heard some people even taking his arms off instead.. to prevent it, but never tried it

tired burrow Dec 22, 2019, 8:25 PM

#

head, arms and legs are better targets on big guys

dreamy vector Dec 22, 2019, 9:43 PM

just hit him again after the first hit, if 4 people do that its guaranteed kill

heck, hit again 3-4 times

so does removing the head do anything?

tired burrow Dec 22, 2019, 9:58 PM

3 limbs blown off should take them down better than dumping ammo into thier chest... which is beefy

#

What's the ideal loadout for duo?

tired burrow Dec 22, 2019, 10:35 PM

#

depends on levels. as the game doesnt scale. i would think one with smg or AR and combat shotgun... one with pistol shotgun maybe... and two sentry turrets

#

maybe c-foam x1 alternatively

unkempt ridge Dec 22, 2019, 10:43 PM

#

yes either 1x foam 1x turret or just 2x turret if you plan to duo

floral pecan Dec 22, 2019, 10:59 PM

#

i'd go 2x turret for sure, cfoam right now just feels bad

#

given nades are in the game

#

equipment wise.. definitelly something where you can stand your own, so 1 answer for close range hordes (SMG or Combat shottie) + another weapon to cover what you lack. If you got SMG, i'd say MG to have that longer range firepower, and if you got something like pistol or AR, then Combat shottie for close range

#

those are my favourite lodaouts. Keep in mind it can be quite personal, those have been the lodaouts i had success with the most

tired burrow Dec 22, 2019, 11:06 PM

#

MG wastes ammo if used unchecked

#

currently by using wpns with more ammo, you maximize your ability as hammer time during hordes isn't so hot for a duo

floral pecan Dec 22, 2019, 11:33 PM

#

Yea, mg is a gun you need to know how to use

#

otherwise it will feel weak

it needs to headshot, and to not overuse ammo

What part of it?

calm forge Dec 23, 2019, 10:10 AM

#

does someone know how the tentacle monster works. it extends its tentacles to nearby monsters, what does that do? And releases a scream that creates a horde attack?

tribal ether Dec 23, 2019, 10:12 AM

#

If you touch the tentacle you alert it, which at that point it will scream. When it screams it wakes everything up in the room, and spawns in some more enemies, for the most part behind you.

#

You can take it out with one fully charged hit to the head, if you haven't alerted it yet.

When you complete a level and get no credit?

desert yoke Dec 23, 2019, 8:15 PM

#

What do you mean @balmy owl

#

you mean you finished a level and it didn't register?

balmy owl Dec 23, 2019, 8:16 PM

#

Completed B2 with 3 team mates, they all got credit and I didn't. Yeah 😦

That is the big sad

I've had the game for a little while, and I cannot pass the first security door, I've watched 5-6 videos on tips, tricks and so on, on how to play the game but as soon as I start the security door alert the swarm that breaks through the door just slaughters me in a couple hits. Do you guys have any tips on how to go about not being sexually assaulted by everything?

slate cedar Dec 23, 2019, 8:41 PM

#

I assume that you are playing alone and you are a newbie?

stiff glade Dec 23, 2019, 8:41 PM

#

I'm waiting on a friend to finish his download, then we'll be a duo

#

I get that solo's pretty tough, but I didn't think it'd be this bad

slate cedar Dec 23, 2019, 8:41 PM

#

I recommend to play as a squad

tribal ether Dec 23, 2019, 8:42 PM

#

Yeah

slate cedar Dec 23, 2019, 8:42 PM

#

A1 is pretty easy compared to the later stages

tribal ether Dec 23, 2019, 8:42 PM

#

The game doesn't balance after the ount of players

stiff glade Dec 23, 2019, 8:43 PM

#

So I'm better off just finding 2 more people to play with?

slate cedar Dec 23, 2019, 8:43 PM

#

yeah, you can use the lfg-channels for that

#

Hello! If you are unaware, we have Looking For Group (LFG) channels to help users group up and play the game. They are located here: #lfg-north-america / #lfg-latin-america / #lfg-eastern-europe / #lfg-asia / #lfg-oceania.

If you are unsure of how to create or join a lobby, please see the instructions here: #how-to-matchmake

visual night Dec 23, 2019, 11:20 PM

#

Why is there not a normal matchmaking? Why does it have to be forced onto discord or was it not added because of time?

kind trail Dec 23, 2019, 11:21 PM

#

?t mm

eager jacinthBOT Dec 23, 2019, 11:21 PM

#

Early Access will not have matchmaking, and will be friends only. Matchmaking needs to be done in a way that fits the demanding teamplay of GTFO, until then Early Access is friends only.

visual night Dec 23, 2019, 11:22 PM

#

So just a time thing, gotcha

supple gorge Dec 23, 2019, 11:34 PM

#

okay, I will try here, hello guys, my team is stuck after 10 try at the B2 mission and didn't know how to done it because too much oponent and too much ennmy to avoid to survive, any information some veteran can give me to give hope to my team and finish it ?

inner coral Dec 23, 2019, 11:37 PM

#

Don't try to explore everything. Only branch off the "main" path if you're in need of supplies. That's really the only tip I can give without knowing more about team composition.

supple gorge Dec 23, 2019, 11:38 PM

#

We already do that and the team composition is : three people with sentry, one with c-foam canon, one sniper and the others assault gun and revolver

inner coral Dec 23, 2019, 11:41 PM

#

Mines are very, very useful in some expeditions, especially B2. I'd only take one sentry and replace the rest with mine deployers.

#

I'd also pair the Machinegun with the AR and have your sniper switch to a Pistol/Revolver combo

#

At least that's the combination I've had success with.

supple gorge Dec 23, 2019, 11:43 PM

#

How do you kill the scout without sniper?

inner coral Dec 23, 2019, 11:44 PM

#

You can one hit it with a melee attack if you get close enough, or just c-foam it and smash it.

supple gorge Dec 23, 2019, 11:45 PM

#

Mhh OK why not

#

But why the mine? Not more interesting sentry?

inner coral Dec 23, 2019, 11:56 PM

#

Sentries don't do very well during waves compared to the raw destructive power of an artificial chokepoint set up.

supple gorge Dec 23, 2019, 11:56 PM

#

Yeah but mine explose once and it's done, if only one sleeper pass, the mine is wasted

inner coral Dec 24, 2019, 12:01 AM

#

That's why you set it up to destroy or split up waves of enemies during alarm sequences.

echo gyro Dec 24, 2019, 12:27 AM

#

when you kill mobs during a scan alarm

#

do they instantly respawn?

ornate marten Dec 24, 2019, 12:59 AM

#

Does anyone know how the stealth mechanics work when killing enemies close to each other? because at times I kill an enemy when it is a meter away from another and the one next to it doesn't get alerted and other times I kill an enemy alone and one gets alerted while extremely far away or visually far enough away to not be alerted. Do they have to be in a sertain position or facing away from each other?

floral pecan Dec 24, 2019, 1:03 AM

#

The devs mentioned the agro formula is quite complicated

#

And that they won't be sharing it

#

But look at it this way

#

The closer another sleeper is to the one you kill, the more likely he will trigger

#

And even more likely if he was glowing

#

A good tip is to start charging a second hammer swing when you stealthly kill a sleeper

#

If you see anybody agrod, you can attempt to rush him

#

I do it all the time

tepid void Dec 24, 2019, 1:05 AM

#

also if there close together but separated by like a cargo crate then they wont be alerted, its this weird LOS sound aggro thing

floral pecan Dec 24, 2019, 1:05 AM

#

And i've had sleepers agro from miles away too, not glowing..

#

But yea, it seems like AT LEAST they need LOS

tepid void Dec 24, 2019, 1:06 AM

#

whether its LOS on you or the sleeper I've yet to tell

#

@echo gyro if you hear a roar in the distance then a new wave has spawned in that direction other wise no not instantly

echo gyro Dec 24, 2019, 1:07 AM

#

ok question 2 is

#

the number of max enemies on screen seems pretty low

#

like 15-20 max or so

#

if there are 10 left alive, does it only spawn 10 more?

tepid void Dec 24, 2019, 1:10 AM

#

@echo gyro personally i think theres a certain amount of time that passes before more spawn, i think theres a max that spawns at one time but as long as the alarm is active as far as i know they'll keep spawning, so it may spawn 20 at a time but given enough time and if you didnt kill any it could spawn another 20 and another 20, idk if theres a cap to how many in total

echo gyro Dec 24, 2019, 1:11 AM

#

hmm i noticed they continue to spawn as long as the alarm is active

#

but i was more curious if it would cap out per wave

#

like if you left all of wave 1 alive

#

with the next set even spawn?

tepid void Dec 24, 2019, 1:12 AM

#

if theres enough distance and doors between you and the first one the second one will spawn before youve killed any of the first wave, especially if its a long alarm door

echo gyro Dec 24, 2019, 1:12 AM

#

oic

#

was just curious if there were any situations where you would want to avoid killing them

tepid void Dec 24, 2019, 1:14 AM

#

not that i can think of only if ther all asleep in the first place, not during an alarm

echo gyro Dec 24, 2019, 1:14 AM

#

but it seems like you want them dead sooner rather than later

#

would be interesting to see an alarm that

#

you would intentionally open doors in

#

so that they trickle in

#

instead of building up tearing the door down

#

etc

floral pecan Dec 24, 2019, 1:21 AM

#

Tbh i've never looked into how their spawning mechanich work

#

All i know is that it is in waves, like most people

#

I just kinda.. kill them.. but it would be good to know tbh

#

Could always try running A1's allarm to see if they eventually cap 👀

Is the beta version of the game different from the paid one?

#

is it better or worse?

#

Do I have to pay for the full version if I want to play with other people?

desert yoke Dec 24, 2019, 5:36 AM

#

The beta is not online anymore

#

That's the biggest difference xD

#

YOu have to by the early access version, wich will be updated constantly

real finch Dec 24, 2019, 5:37 AM

#

quick question for anybody that may have tried. can you one shot a scout with the revolver before it triggers? I heard sniper works, but every time I take it there's never a scout

craggy pier Dec 24, 2019, 5:37 AM

#

oh ight

#

I haven't played before so

desert yoke Dec 24, 2019, 5:38 AM

#

i don't think you can one shot him with the revolver

daring acorn Dec 24, 2019, 5:38 AM

#

scout takes 2 revolver shots to kill

#

so no it doesn't work to kill before he triggers unless you time 2 people shooting at the exact same time

real finch Dec 24, 2019, 5:39 AM

#

after activating or before? because enemy health seems pretty random when you can 1 shot with no charge sometimes, then turn around and not kill with a full charge headshot

daring acorn Dec 24, 2019, 5:40 AM

#

before you trigger the scout if 2 people hit him in the head at the same time with revolver it should always kill but obviously pretty hard to get 2 shots timed well enough for that

late plaza Dec 24, 2019, 5:40 AM

#

You could use a trip mine to kill the scout

daring acorn Dec 24, 2019, 5:41 AM

#

yea mines are a good choice

real finch Dec 24, 2019, 5:41 AM

#

yea. I shot with 2 sniper rounds to the head immediately after a normal enemy triggered, but before it's scream. was invincible before I even shot it

late plaza Dec 24, 2019, 5:41 AM

#

Does it silently as well

real finch Dec 24, 2019, 5:41 AM

#

I heard the mine going off is still a trigger for enemies

late plaza Dec 24, 2019, 5:41 AM

#

It doesn’t

#

Which is a bug currently so maybe one day

daring acorn Dec 24, 2019, 5:41 AM

#

yea as soon as a enemy triggers it will trigger the scout and as soon as the scouts is triggered they become invincible till done screaming also yes mines take out scouts silently at the moment

real finch Dec 24, 2019, 5:42 AM

#

as the designated bioscanner, I'll pass on personally using it. but I will mention it to others

daring acorn Dec 24, 2019, 5:43 AM

#

safest bet to guarantee a scout kill is just a sniper and being careful not to trigger anything before you shoot the scout but mines or melee are better if you can pull it off just so you don't trigger the whole room

real finch Dec 24, 2019, 5:44 AM

#

tried melee. only seen 1 person pull it off in dozens of runs. never seen anybody use a mine on it personally

daring acorn Dec 24, 2019, 5:44 AM

#

yea melee is a bit tricky to pull off and mines are only a temporary solution because they will be patched so they actually make noise soon enough

real finch Dec 24, 2019, 5:45 AM

#

ammusingly, the secondary weapon causes me more of a headache than anything else in the game. if I take revolver, there's 2+ scouts. if I take sniper, every room gets triggered and there's never a scout

daring acorn Dec 24, 2019, 5:46 AM

#

yea it all depends on if you want to play it safe taking the sniper just incase or bring some more firepower but have a much bigger problem if you find a scout

real finch Dec 24, 2019, 5:46 AM

#

even if the mine gets patched to make noise, that's still a consistent way to prevent extra enemy spawns. so it's still worth far more than is stated

tired burrow Dec 24, 2019, 5:47 AM

#

stealth mines will be fixed in an upcoming patch at some point. its a bug

real finch Dec 24, 2019, 5:47 AM

#

it's just a question of, is it worth it over a turret. if not, pray there's no scouts

daring acorn Dec 24, 2019, 5:47 AM

#

oh yea it still will be a good solution cause you can figure out where the scout will travel plant a mine and get some distance before it goes off

real finch Dec 24, 2019, 5:47 AM

#

I'd rather they fix the load times and scanner bugs first

tired burrow Dec 24, 2019, 5:47 AM

#

sniper is useful on big guys as well. shooting limbs off. 3 limbs should drop a big guy...

daring acorn Dec 24, 2019, 5:47 AM

#

mines definitely can be worth it over turrets in most situations assuming you know good placement

tired burrow Dec 24, 2019, 5:48 AM

#

the key to taking a sniper is to conserve primary ammo. and dont take as much ammo as your teammates

real finch Dec 24, 2019, 5:48 AM

#

I've only seen mines kill 2 enemies at a time. and sniper has only 5 rounds at start, 3 shots is half your ammo right there

tired burrow Dec 24, 2019, 5:49 AM

#

i take smg for this reason with sniper. so that during alarms i can support

daring acorn Dec 24, 2019, 5:49 AM

#

yea really whoever brings sniper needs to be sure they have a main weapon with good ammo efficiency and they know how to make every shot count

#

i do pistol sniper

real finch Dec 24, 2019, 5:50 AM

#

I go with the assault rifle. typically only takes 1 or 2 headshots for most enemies and has good ammo/range

tired burrow Dec 24, 2019, 5:50 AM

#

all good choices

real finch Dec 24, 2019, 5:50 AM

#

then I question myself on secondaries till round start

daring acorn Dec 24, 2019, 5:50 AM

#

yup only thing you shouldn't do is dmr, sniper

real finch Dec 24, 2019, 5:51 AM

#

oh. is there any reason to go with the charge up gun? I read something about it taking big guys down quick, but it seems to have questionable use

daring acorn Dec 24, 2019, 5:52 AM

#

if you mean the machine gun it's pretty good as long as you know how to manage your ammo, it can tear through hordes and kill big enemies pretty fast

tired burrow Dec 24, 2019, 5:53 AM

#

i dont recommend it. the MG. practice it on A1... just go in solo and fire it off a bit... its a fine wpn... but it needs some balancing

real finch Dec 24, 2019, 5:54 AM

#

I have tried it. that's why I'm iffy on it

daring acorn Dec 24, 2019, 5:54 AM

#

guess it depends on personal preference it's my favorite and seems to perform better than anything else at least when i'm using it

tired burrow Dec 24, 2019, 5:55 AM

#

all guns are good and almost all combos are good. cept like an all sniper and dmr team haha...

#

the game is supposed to be a give and take. trade offs... not good guns and bad ones

daring acorn Dec 24, 2019, 5:55 AM

#

yea basically everything has it's use and can be made into a formidable weapon in the right hands

tired burrow Dec 24, 2019, 5:56 AM

#

even the long range flashlight and fog repeller

real finch Dec 24, 2019, 5:56 AM

#

I tend to try only poking my head out to take a few shots at a time. so the controlled bursts and heavy single shots are my preference. just wasn't sure if it was the gun or I'm just not the right person to use it

daring acorn Dec 24, 2019, 5:57 AM

#

i really want to disagree with long range flashlight having a use but i can't

real finch Dec 24, 2019, 5:57 AM

#

I love it for searching rooms after a clear. that and shining light in a dark room when I have no ammo and the rest of my team does

tired burrow Dec 24, 2019, 5:57 AM

#

LRF is super situational. best to leave it for other items, typically glow sticks so far

#

most levels you can go back for it too

#

i havent played since i came home for xmas, did i hear glowsticks are red now??

daring acorn Dec 24, 2019, 5:58 AM

#

yea and when you start to learn where crates tend to be and the map layouts there is really just 1 main use i can think of

#

yes there are rare red glowsticks now

real finch Dec 24, 2019, 5:58 AM

#

glowsticks I have a 50/50 with. I know that I can use my flashlight in short bursts and to sync enemies. and an enemy in range is clearly visible. so I don't have much use for em

#

both green and red

#

i HEAR red glowsticks have a weaker light. haven't tested it though

daring acorn Dec 24, 2019, 5:59 AM

#

yea the main use i find for glowsticks is showing my teammates where enemies are or lighting them up for my team when i go up ahead of them

real finch Dec 24, 2019, 6:01 AM

#

oh. during a solo test in b2. I was curious as to exactly how close you can get while just walking. the answer, same distance, but they light up more often as you move

tired burrow Dec 24, 2019, 6:01 AM

#

glowsticks once you are good at game are not required

#

i have crept 3 rooms deep of big guys... like 9 total to get id's and shit

daring acorn Dec 24, 2019, 6:02 AM

#

i'd say once you get good enough really all but c-foam grenades aren't required

real finch Dec 24, 2019, 6:02 AM

#

I finished that level, with the worst possible spawns. cleared every single room to beat it

tired burrow Dec 24, 2019, 6:02 AM

#

c-foam is always good.

daring acorn Dec 24, 2019, 6:02 AM

#

only one that is in basically every situation

real finch Dec 24, 2019, 6:03 AM

#

cfoam isn't required, but it is useful. slowing by walling a door off or freezing a big guy is always nice

#

no clue the accuracy of this. but somebody mentioned using a cfoam grenade on a scout before it's triggered

tired burrow Dec 24, 2019, 6:03 AM

#

scout kills with foam is important

daring acorn Dec 24, 2019, 6:04 AM

#

yea true guess a better way to put it is it's the only one useful in almost all situations

tired burrow Dec 24, 2019, 6:04 AM

#

make sure to aim it at the scouts chest.

#

you can kill scout with hammer and no foam... difficult thou due to movement patterns

real finch Dec 24, 2019, 6:04 AM

#

I'm not used to throwing things at all in this game, so my accuracy on that is probably garbage right now

tired burrow Dec 24, 2019, 6:04 AM

#

must be headshot too

real finch Dec 24, 2019, 6:05 AM

#

well, if frozen you can quickly sneak up to it, stand, and then swing. easier aim than crouching

daring acorn Dec 24, 2019, 6:05 AM

#

yea generally best time without foam is just when they have tendrils retracting

real finch Dec 24, 2019, 6:06 AM

#

I'm now curious as to exactly how they react to walking, while they move around. probably trigger, that or stop and check area immediately

tired burrow Dec 24, 2019, 6:06 AM

#

no

#

they dont seem to notice you

real finch Dec 24, 2019, 6:07 AM

#

they I messed up entirely before. I tried sneaking towards it

tired burrow Dec 24, 2019, 6:07 AM

#

but every time we go for it, we also dont try to anger them so....

#

i wouldn't want to touch it with my face

real finch Dec 24, 2019, 6:08 AM

#

I don't actively try to piss them off. that's generally my team, accidently agro'ing something right after we open the door. which is why I contemplate the sniper...to prevent them from agro'ing

tired burrow Dec 24, 2019, 6:08 AM

#

trick is. only one needs to go into scout room... rest setup for horde incase

#

scouts can arrgo nearby rooms too not just spawn stuff and pull thier room

real finch Dec 24, 2019, 6:09 AM

#

yeaaa...everybody feels the need to enter and "help" with clearing the room out

tired burrow Dec 24, 2019, 6:09 AM

#

yeah i hesr ya

#

tough to convince some players to chill

#

this isnt a run and gun

real finch Dec 24, 2019, 6:09 AM

#

that's the funny thing. never seen it agro other rooms. BUT, I have seen it not agro the entire room

#

some rooms seem to be...I don't know, split in half for agro?

tired burrow Dec 24, 2019, 6:10 AM

#

depends on where it is. it sometimes doesn't wake all. i think its a bug but...

daring acorn Dec 24, 2019, 6:10 AM

#

so for scouts i'm pretty sure only things that can aggro are bumping into them, touching their tendrils, hurting but not killing them and another sleeper triggering

tired burrow Dec 24, 2019, 6:11 AM

#

and... foamed them but didnt kill fast enough

real finch Dec 24, 2019, 6:11 AM

#

the best example I have is zone 23 of B2. there's always around 8 in the far back of the room that trigger seperately from the rest of the room

tired burrow Dec 24, 2019, 6:11 AM

#

yes

#

seperate rooms even thou open and range of scout is not that big

#

all keys to knowing thier patrol path

#

hence chill and watch

#

setup and then kill

real finch Dec 24, 2019, 6:13 AM

#

I know largely how scouts work. I'm just surprised they don't trigger all enemies in certain rooms. then again, zones seem to be generally messed up, so it's probably the tip of a seperate zone

#

for example, item in zone 18 is sitting in what looks to be zone 19

tired burrow Dec 24, 2019, 6:13 AM

#

yah. might just be buggy

#

they do need to fix that a bit

real finch Dec 24, 2019, 6:15 AM

#

I'm not surprised. payday crew made this, so even if it wasn't in early access and everything, I'd still expect plenty of bugs. and I'm saying that with a few hundred hours in payday 2

tired burrow Dec 24, 2019, 6:16 AM

real finch Dec 24, 2019, 6:18 AM

#

the fact that it's star wars tells me I won't look. and payday 2 has basically finished, and enemies will still see you through walls and objectives won't trigger

tired burrow Dec 24, 2019, 6:18 AM

#

yah depends on how ai is programed

#

its like in rts games, how ai knows qhere you are

real finch Dec 24, 2019, 6:19 AM

#

the key difference that I see between the 2 is the duration of the levels. payday 2 levels last about 30 minutes max if you don't keep screwing up. a decent run of a level in gtfo is an hour minimum in my experience

tired burrow Dec 24, 2019, 6:20 AM

#

1-2 hours easily

#

for sure

real finch Dec 24, 2019, 6:20 AM

#

so even if it glitches in payday, it's not exactly a massive loss. getting a glitch or really crappy rng in gtfo is just painful

#

went an entire run of B2 without there being a single ammo spawn. by some miracle we got to the final door with hammers

tired burrow Dec 24, 2019, 6:21 AM

#

sometimes sleepers get stuck during alarms... they dont come and you have to backtrack to find em carefully

real finch Dec 24, 2019, 6:21 AM

#

that final alarm door screws me over near every run

tired burrow Dec 24, 2019, 6:22 AM

#

key is always to use the terminal. find out what rooms you need to go to only

#

but i hear you... alarms are alarms

real finch Dec 24, 2019, 6:25 AM

#

I only need the computers for 2 things. telling me which key I need and which room the key is in. key that is needed is always in 22, 23a, or 23b. if 22, it's hard. 23a is easiest. 23b is the end of the run. 95% of my runs it's the west locked door. only once has it been east (not that it changed anything)

inner coral Dec 24, 2019, 6:26 AM

#

you can use the terminal to find packs

tired burrow Dec 24, 2019, 6:26 AM

#

we talking B1?

real finch Dec 24, 2019, 6:26 AM

#

I do. we really only need ammo

#

b2

#

find hsu whatever

tired burrow Dec 24, 2019, 6:26 AM

#

yeah I've only beat thst like 4 times

#

you can open doors to draw them out during alarms... sometimes its helpful

real finch Dec 24, 2019, 6:27 AM

#

I've attempted it probably close to 20 times now. 2 runs gave me 23b, and we died in that room. the rest were almost all at the card door

tired burrow Dec 24, 2019, 6:27 AM

#

also dont close the door in the first blue long hallways, save it for the alarm door when you go to find the hsu

real finch Dec 24, 2019, 6:28 AM

#

we die TO the alarm is the problem. no ammo during the hardest alarm is our main problem

#

um...enemies tend to bust it down before we open it

tired burrow Dec 24, 2019, 6:28 AM

#

which area? big blue room or cave grey room?

real finch Dec 24, 2019, 6:29 AM

#

um. big blue that has 3 floors technically, with a large fog area in the center

tired burrow Dec 24, 2019, 6:29 AM

#

so trick to that is...

real finch Dec 24, 2019, 6:29 AM

#

don't run completely out of ammo before that part?

tired burrow Dec 24, 2019, 6:30 AM

#

the doorway you come in with the stairs up on the left and right... if its the first time, dont close it.... and put turrets and foam at bottom of door. if its second time close and foam door and put one turret there. use another turret to guard your rear

real finch Dec 24, 2019, 6:30 AM

#

I'll put it this way. I may as well play mc hammer by the time we get to the 3rd alarm door

tired burrow Dec 24, 2019, 6:31 AM

#

that's the point of the level. but by using foam in the cave room at the stairs right at the cave door you can foam and turret that too

real finch Dec 24, 2019, 6:32 AM

#

don't get me wrong, I'm laughing at that point, but it hurts. and like I said, the door at the stairs gets busted before we open it half the time. we don't get a chance TO open or foam it or anything

tired burrow Dec 24, 2019, 6:33 AM

#

waiittt...

#

i mean the door that leads to the big blue room with 3 security doors?

real finch Dec 24, 2019, 6:33 AM

#

enemies beyond the thin hallway get triggered by enemies IN the hallway

tired burrow Dec 24, 2019, 6:33 AM

#

not the long hallway one

#

oh.

#

scout or?

real finch Dec 24, 2019, 6:33 AM

#

yea. that's the problem

#

scout and sleepers trigger it half the time

#

if I'm lucky, we won't trigger anything and I'll point out the tip to avoid using the door at all costs. but it's iffy on how things will go if there's any triggers

tired burrow Dec 24, 2019, 6:35 AM

#

just gotta up your stealth or scout kill tactics

real finch Dec 24, 2019, 6:35 AM

#

sooo...I need to master solo'ing so people stop moving ahead and pissing things off on me?

#

I have people charge into rooms while I'm saying what's in there. I feel like they played way to much alien swarm

tired burrow Dec 24, 2019, 6:36 AM

#

yeah man. if your playing with friends... they gotta relax and let you do it quiet

#

its a game of stealth.

#

your friends will get wasted on c1 or c2

real finch Dec 24, 2019, 6:36 AM

#

loved alien swarm. expected this to BE alien swarm in first person. got a completely different game

tired burrow Dec 24, 2019, 6:37 AM

#

yah it is... i know A.S. do you know red solstice?

real finch Dec 24, 2019, 6:37 AM

#

dude...I was talking to somebody during a b2 run, said that there's levels worse than this. he told me he accepted my reality, but is substituting it regardless

#

I feel like I heard the name before. but beyond that no

tired burrow Dec 24, 2019, 6:38 AM

#

c1 is very different, c2 baits you into being over confident then slams you. D1 ducks with you

#

your friends need to learn this is a hardcore game. akin a lottle to dark souls

real finch Dec 24, 2019, 6:39 AM

#

this entire game "ducks" with me

tired burrow Dec 24, 2019, 6:39 AM

#

like you need to learn the mechanics

#

i know i love it for that

#

( not you your friends sorry)

real finch Dec 24, 2019, 6:40 AM

#

I'm moderatly confident in my movements IF enemies are separated enough. anything closer than 10 feet is a hard pass solo

#

scouts are a hard pass by about a mile

tired burrow Dec 24, 2019, 6:41 AM

#

use bio tracker if circles touch theyre linked and must be killed with co-operation

real finch Dec 24, 2019, 6:41 AM

#

I've had circles far away trigger. nobody was even lit up/moving

tired burrow Dec 24, 2019, 6:41 AM

#

but if no bio, assume linked when nearby.... also sometimes they just wake up... also sometimes if you kill one and its dead body parts go flying and hit another it will wake em

real finch Dec 24, 2019, 6:42 AM

#

I was scratching my nose once and an enemy 20 feet in front of me triggered to a movement on the opposite end of a large room

tired burrow Dec 24, 2019, 6:42 AM

#

also standing when you were crouched will alert them

real finch Dec 24, 2019, 6:42 AM

#

so either walk up to them or sneak to them. but do not swap

tired burrow Dec 24, 2019, 6:42 AM

#

yah i think its a bug. but depends on other players too

real finch Dec 24, 2019, 6:43 AM

#

actually. I saw a guy stand up. JUMP...right beside an enemy and it didn't trigger. lit up though

tired burrow Dec 24, 2019, 6:44 AM

#

i think they have randomized uhhhh wake up thingys

#

ya know?

#

some are easy to wake up

real finch Dec 24, 2019, 6:45 AM

#

well. I checked the behavior on walking and sneaking. sneaking they only lit up when extremely close. walking triggered it 3 times before I got close. otherwise they randomly trigger, with a seeming increase dependent on how many people are moving at once

#

and I'd rather thermal goggles. googles tend to give to many random search results

tired burrow Dec 24, 2019, 6:47 AM

#

yah man. makes sense if your friends are moving too wrongly theyre screwing the team

real finch Dec 24, 2019, 6:49 AM

#

well, even with use all being roughly 15-20 feet away, they light up with everybody crouched. so enemies probably have a form of motion censor. 1 person standing while nobody is in room/nearby may not have as drastic effect as everybody being in hammer range

tired burrow Dec 24, 2019, 6:49 AM

#

could be

#

always best to go super slow and move when they dark... sync when you can

real finch Dec 24, 2019, 6:51 AM

#

yep. at this point I hope they add the option to publicly have rooms with voice chat and ignore the codes system. I'm playing with randoms constantly anyway, so not much will change in that regard

Early Access will not have matchmaking, and will be friends only. Matchmaking needs to be done in a way that fits the demanding teamplay of GTFO, until then Early Access is friends only.

this is going to sound kind of sad. but I had a first time player in my last b2 run, and we got to the 3rd alarm door with more ammo/turrets than most of my other runs. we took our time so I could explain the general tricks too

keeping the game fresh is key

mild ravine Dec 24, 2019, 7:04 AM

#

that keep changing

inner coral Dec 24, 2019, 7:04 AM

#

I think the first rundown of early access doesn't have a timer, at least not for now, while they work on other things. There is a timer planned however and it is supposedly a core part of the gameplay loop.

tired burrow Dec 24, 2019, 7:04 AM

#

basically

inner coral Dec 24, 2019, 7:04 AM

#

And I imagine the different maps will be reused assets with a different layout to keep it from being too difficult to freshen.

real finch Dec 24, 2019, 7:05 AM

the challenge with swapping levels is having them change within decent time frames. a month and everybody will forget. 3 days and that may be to fast for people to really get into the levels

new monsters too, new mechanics

they'll also bring maps back. 18 maps cycling in and out would still take people a around 2 weeks to fully complete. give or take on lifestyle

2% is huge

real finch Dec 24, 2019, 7:18 AM

could be a level thing, or building the "perk" or whatever. could just be an augment for a weapon. like a silencer. slightly lower damage for silenced shots?

2% is huge for autofire guns. 10% is only like...2 shots for the sniper

) Will there be suppressors (silencers) and/or grenade launchers/RPGs in GTFO?
Not likely. GTFO isn’t about a team of expert monster exterminators equipped with everything they need to get the job done. We want the players to feel vulnerable and outgunned - that’s part of the “horror” element of the game. Weapons that makes it possible to stealth kill from a distance (e.g. suppressors) or kill a whole group of monsters with the push of a button (e.g. grenades) don’t really belong in GTFO

real finch Dec 24, 2019, 7:22 AM

understandable. then just give me a button to fully cancel my melee charge WITHOUT shoving

inner coral Dec 24, 2019, 7:22 AM

shove doesn't generally. but even after the animation ends, when you turn back to the enemy it can still shove them

if you hit a wall with hammer you can wake em

#

near them

#

I did that. animation ended, I immediately looked at enemy. it staggered away

tired burrow Dec 24, 2019, 7:25 AM

#

im sure they'll tighten up melee

real finch Dec 24, 2019, 7:25 AM

#

so hit box does need minor tweeking since you can shove enemies about half a second after shove ends

inner coral Dec 24, 2019, 7:25 AM

#

Yeah melee hitboxes are pretty wonky. I've hit the wall through a Sleeper's head countless times.

tired burrow Dec 24, 2019, 7:26 AM

mhm

inner coral Dec 24, 2019, 7:26 AM

#

Probably on the list of things to polish though.

real finch Dec 24, 2019, 7:26 AM

#

if I needed to list even 1 perk that wouldn't be game breaking. being able to hold a charge 1 second longer. that's generally all I ever need when stealthing anyway

inner coral Dec 24, 2019, 7:27 AM

#

Tbh a perk that lets you charge a melee even longer for more damage wouldn't be so OP

real finch Dec 24, 2019, 7:27 AM

#

more damage isn't really needed. you can kill all but 1 enemy with a single full charge anyway

inner coral Dec 24, 2019, 7:28 AM

Big Boys :(

tired burrow Dec 24, 2019, 7:28 AM

#

big boys who are ranged :/

real finch Dec 24, 2019, 7:28 AM

#

the only enemy that survives 1 hit. and if the limb thing is true, and a full charge destroys a limb. then 3 hitting should be enough

tired burrow Dec 24, 2019, 7:28 AM

#

2 shots to fast

inner coral Dec 24, 2019, 7:28 AM

#

Though I guess smacking a big boy down in one hit would be a bit too much

#

Shooter big boy has nothing on the 50 foot tongue big boy.

real finch Dec 24, 2019, 7:29 AM

#

that hits around corners

inner coral Dec 24, 2019, 7:29 AM

#

Like holy crap it crosses rooms

#

And god help you if he starts jogging

real finch Dec 24, 2019, 7:29 AM

#

and hits behind whatever you are hiding behind for 1/5 your health

inner coral Dec 24, 2019, 7:29 AM

#

1/5th if you're lucky...

real finch Dec 24, 2019, 7:30 AM

#

I read 20% damage is it's cap. that not true? I know multiple lights hitting would take off more

inner coral Dec 24, 2019, 7:31 AM

#

If 20% damage is the cap for one hit, it hits multiple times per attack. If true, it's probably not intended.

#

All I know is sometimes I get tongued for 40-50% of my health

real finch Dec 24, 2019, 7:32 AM

#

I rarely see the tongue version. typically only when everybody is at 20% or so anyway. that and it's never just 1 enemy managing to hit me at one time. it's generally 3 that got to close for comfort

inner coral Dec 24, 2019, 7:33 AM

#

I could probably run a bunch of C1 for testing later on and make a chart of numbers to see if it's bugged.

rigid frigate Dec 24, 2019, 7:35 AM

#

What is the question?

real finch Dec 24, 2019, 7:35 AM

#

that also makes me wonder. I've seen enemies survive full charge headshots in a1 (oddly none of mine). which partly makes me wonder if the hammers damage range is also a bit varied. flashing red maybe having a bit less, creating a chance at failed kills?

rigid frigate Dec 24, 2019, 7:36 AM

#

I've done numerous testings for my solo runs, its 50% charge to the head and roughly 55-60%ish range for spitters.

craggy pier Dec 24, 2019, 7:36 AM

#

If you have a full squad you can actually stealth kill big boys (if some didn’t know)

rigid frigate Dec 24, 2019, 7:36 AM

#

It only takes 3 to hammer kill a striker giant, but it will take 4 to stealth kill a spitter giant.

inner coral Dec 24, 2019, 7:36 AM

#

I've noticed that a full charge isn't always an instant kill, though it is exceedingly rare that it won't.

real finch Dec 24, 2019, 7:36 AM

#

I hear that frequently. the success rate of stealth bigs tends to be...less than stellar

craggy pier Dec 24, 2019, 7:37 AM

#

Me and 3 friends did the big strikers ez pz

#

1 person hits head the other 3 hit torso/neck

rigid frigate Dec 24, 2019, 7:37 AM

#

The actual health value for the big strikers is enough for 3 full charge hammer hits

craggy pier Dec 24, 2019, 7:37 AM

#

Since head pops off first hit

inner coral Dec 24, 2019, 7:37 AM

#

A full charge tends to fail to kill || Punchers || in one hit more often in my experience, however rare.

rigid frigate Dec 24, 2019, 7:37 AM

#

You do not need a fourth person to kill the striker giants.

#

It only takes 3 full charge swings.

craggy pier Dec 24, 2019, 7:37 AM

#

We tried a shooter though and it failed

#

Maybe someone missed though

real finch Dec 24, 2019, 7:37 AM

#

yea. I generally cant tell the difference till they are already shooting at me. if it didn't shoot at me 5 miles away, it's melee

rigid frigate Dec 24, 2019, 7:37 AM

#

@inner coral You talking about the ||Bulls? They die in one hit to the back.||

#

About 50 charge or so

real finch Dec 24, 2019, 7:38 AM

#

I hear to aim at body parts and not torso. 3 parts and bigs die

craggy pier Dec 24, 2019, 7:38 AM

#

Hm

inner coral Dec 24, 2019, 7:38 AM

#

Never got the || back thing || to work and the head more often than not works for it anyway

craggy pier Dec 24, 2019, 7:38 AM

#

Me and my squad had 1 going head and 3 going torso area

#

Worked like 6/6 times i believe

real finch Dec 24, 2019, 7:38 AM

#

well. I heard for shooting, if it's head is gone, aim at legs

craggy pier Dec 24, 2019, 7:38 AM

#

But we tried the same for shooter and he didnt go down

rigid frigate Dec 24, 2019, 7:39 AM

#

That's because the spitters have more health than the strikers.

craggy pier Dec 24, 2019, 7:39 AM

#

Ye i kinda figured

real finch Dec 24, 2019, 7:39 AM

#

seems kinda backwards, no?

rigid frigate Dec 24, 2019, 7:39 AM

#

So while male giants take 3 full charged swings, spitters take more.

#

And yes, I agree.

#

Very strange.

craggy pier Dec 24, 2019, 7:39 AM

#

Is it even consistent to try to stealth kill big shooters?

real finch Dec 24, 2019, 7:40 AM

#

then again, rifle rounds to the head is 1 or 2 shots on both generally. so it doesn't make much difference

#

big guys are just a headache. though I did learn that enemies targeting you instead of closer allies can cause them to be completely harmless. balls of light vanish after a certain distance
