#

There is no VAC as far as I know on the game, but if the dev didn't said a word about modding (if it's allowed or not) then you shouldn't mod it

#

and i'm pretty sure the game isn't made to be modded as it would be atmosphere breaking and well... totally break the immersion the devs are making for us

fierce lily
#

I apologize if this had been asked before, but does anyone know if there will be player customization in the future?

regal pagoda
#

I don't know about character but I do see new gear

craggy pier
#

i think player custimization is comin eventually

lofty thistle
#

I'm pretty sure it's in the roadmap

craggy pier
#

?t roadmap

eager jacinthBOT
lofty thistle
#

Yeah it's in the the backlog

fierce lily
#

Thanks, I'll keep my eye on the page

neat orbit
#

Oh the roadmap looks cool
I hope this game's matchmaking system will be finished within 5 years or so

desert yoke
#

I don't think it will take that long ^^

tribal ether
#

lol

neat orbit
#

Lol

#

Typed wrong last time

tribal ether
#

I saw it, and went "wait a minute"

stuck vale
#

I'd still use discord

smoky grove
#

^

#

just seems to be one of the better options

#

even if matchmaking is here

#

id like to still be able to call up peeps ive played with before to rage through the rundown again

stuck vale
#

Kinda feel you can screen a bit better with discord in some way

#

Matchmaking won't make anything easier and won't give you necessarily better and solid players

full sundial
#

they need their own matchmaking eventually though, for it to exit EA, because otherwise they're relying on discord for their community interactions, you want to have the actual game be able to have some of those functions just in case something happens to discord

gusty notch
#

Does GTFO use peer matchmaking or servers

desert yoke
#

P2P

#

Peer to peer ^^

gusty notch
#

okay ty

desert yoke
#

No problem

smoky burrow
#

so, we just finished b1, got to the extraction but nothing happened...

unkempt ridge
#

That's a bug, you guys have to redo it... maybe change host and hope for the best :/

small quartz
#

ya hate to see it

tiny bolt
#

do you need 4 people to play or can you play with less

craggy pier
#

yes

#

you can paly iwht less

#

but it does NOT scale

floral pecan
#

@tiny bolt all has been soloed (aside C1. C1 needs exploits to be soloed)

#

Ofc as summoner said, difficulty doesn't scale

craggy pier
#

c1 would be impossible without exploits

#

and even with exploits its still probably the hardest one next to d1

sturdy dew
#

Why is c1 completely impossible without exploits?

craggy pier
#

cause of the infite enemies which spawn

#

then you gotta do reactor

#

by yourself

sturdy dew
#

Oh right

floral pecan
#

Stand still to type code @sturdy dew

sturdy dew
#

Well looks like Iโ€™m not doing that one

fluid nova
#

Imagine having to use exploits to solo a level
U think the devs will change that?

#

So it's solo-able without exploits

vital sierra
#

it's a Wave defense level

#

he's stop the wave

#

and only defense

desert yoke
#

@fluid nova it's a 4 player co-op game. I don't think so ^^

floral pecan
#

Probably not. The game is ment for 4 people @fluid nova

rancid void
#

How to hide hud?

modest nest
#

There is an option in settings for hud visibility (can't recall the exact settings name though), if you turn it down to 0% you won't have the HUD on

elder thicket
#

Okay so I don't have the game (not enough money) but I have a question

#

If I mine is placed in another one's blast radius will they set each other off if one detonates

desert yoke
#

Yes!

elder thicket
#

Hmm okay cuz if I'm getting the game I'm going all solo and that's very important to know

#

Also from the videos I've seen like Markiplier's GTFO looks so up my alley, the guns sound amazing and I bet feel amazing to shoot as well

#

The other thing is what's with the rundown thing

#

Like if the rundown gets an update do all the levels change?

tribal ether
#

Yes

tender bough
#

I think rundown = set of levels

tribal ether
#

The whole rundown

#

correct

#

In the future, there will be a timer, that will tell us when the new rundown comes out

tender bough
#

so, newbie in the future cant complete A1-D1 anymore ?

#

๐Ÿ˜ฎ

#

its still available i assume

tribal ether
#

Well, the new missions will be called A1 and all that over

#

I believe

elder thicket
#

Lemme know when that changes and I'll be buying the game and soloing A1-D1 without any prior experience

tribal ether
#

What changes?

elder thicket
#

The rundown mate

#

What does Ambassador role mean

tribal ether
#

Gives you an orange name tag, Access to two chat rooms, that are mostly dead, and some newsletter thing.

#

I would say, you should do it, for the name tag

elder thicket
#

Aight I'll do that in a bit

#

Does anybody actually use military formations in-game at all

#

Like that

tribal ether
#

I don't think so

#

Most of the game is sneaking

elder thicket
#

I know Markiplier's squad accidentally did one on C1

#

2 in the front, 2 in the middle back

#

That's usually a tank structure but still

tribal ether
#

oh yeah

#

C1

elder thicket
#

Yeah like the image I sent but inverted

#

That would probably be valuable to use more

#

Aight I gotta leave but I'll be back here later cuz I love this game without even playing it

#

Cya mateee

tribal ether
#

See ya

#

Love the game too

#

It's amazing

elder thicket
#

I have returned, and I just thought of something

#

Also I'm an Ambassador now

#

Are the models used available for doing animations and all that?

tribal ether
#

Idk

elder thicket
#

Uhh mods?

#

Moderator can maybe do help me?

tribal ether
#

Just wait

#

Props

#

Some will come at some point

#

They are very active

elder thicket
#

Can't I ping one with an at?

#

I wanna make an animation that's completely non profit and I'd just rather not build my own models or anything

tribal ether
#

Hmmm

elder thicket
#

I've got an idea for one that's about a solo player, maybe I could even use some MoCap

#

One idea for a scene I had was they jump over an enemy and throw their hammer down at it then land and blast another with a shotgun, I know how to do the effects it's just models

#

Well I gotta shower but if a mod shows up here I'd like to know if that's even possible to do

tribal ether
#

So from what i got out of a mod, most likely not

lilac fulcrum
#

The models are not available

dire shale
#

It seems a lot of people are expecting the game to give models and such to do mod while it would totally break the immersion... I don't think anyone wants to see a rainbow unicorn scout or else ...

craggy pier
#

haha imagine being a model

#

liek a game model

elder thicket
#

I don't wanna make mods lol

#

I could barely even install a Minecraft mod, I don't wanna make them

#

But that's fair to leave the assets protected, I respect that

craggy pier
#

yeah cause people could just make the enemies super bright and ruin the immersion

elder thicket
#

I wanted to make an animation kinda game trailer style

#

That was made by the community as an update thing

craggy pier
#

ah ok

elder thicket
#

Dude I love all the aesthetics about GTFO, if I could make an animation I would be doing my best to capture the horror and tension in the game

#

It kinda reminds me of the destroyed city in F.E.A.R. 2

#

There isn't really any way to talk to the devs directly is there

lilac fulcrum
#

Is your question about getting access / permission to use the models @elder thicket?

elder thicket
#

Yeah, I have some concepts and I expect nothing in return and accept that it's unlikely that the models for things would be available

lilac fulcrum
#

I have the authority to answer that and unfortunately they aren't providing / allowing people to use the models.

wise thicket
#

Dam

elder thicket
#

Is it possible that at some point in the future those models will become available? I don't really want to write up a storyboard and have it never come to fruition

wise thicket
#

Someone will rip the models some day

elder thicket
#

If I had a copy of the game I could probably do that myself but I'm against that and wouldn't use those

lilac fulcrum
#

I can't speak for the future but it's not likely

wise thicket
#

Rip gtfo sfm animations

elder thicket
#

Oh god no not SFM

#

Anything but that garbage

fluid nova
#

Only acceptable sfm animations are of TF2

elder thicket
#

Yeah, I'd be using Blender for it

#

I spent years trying to animate in SFM with no success and after a month of Blender I had a fully functioning and natural looking animation

tribal ether
#

Oh

elder thicket
#

Blender is just the best free CGI software

#

Man well I'll be keeping an eye and ear out for anytime I can get access to models for animation but until then there's nothing I can do

fluid nova
#

Can't u like make the models or similar looking ones yourself
Easier said than done yeah but mayb that's the only way

dire shale
#

as @fluid nova just said I was about to ask why you don't make models yourself ? like similar looking ones ?

fluid nova
#

Probably bc it's hard af to capture the essence of the existing models

#

And it'll take alot of time

elder thicket
#

I very well could, using a T-pose image of the front and side

#

The model isn't the problem as much as the textures are

dire shale
#

if it isn't the problem why not going for it then ?

elder thicket
#

See they use normal maps

#

Do you know how hard it is to recreate those?

#

Plus all the skin and gore textures

#

Since I want close up shots it would get increasingly difficult to make it look right

fluid nova
#

It'd take time. I guess

#

Like alot of time

dire shale
#

yes it is hard but there is probably some algorithm out there that do it for you

fluid nova
#

So much time infact that the devs might release the models by the time he gets done

elder thicket
#

Well to make a single normal map I'd have to make the geometry exactly the same then project it onto a plane as an image then see if it looks right and if it doesn't I have to try again

#

The scale of everything matters cuz it changes how the light behaves

fluid nova
#

Hmm yes months and months of texture mapping

elder thicket
dire shale
#

That's why i never got myself into modelling ๐Ÿ˜‚ it looks so complicated for such small details

elder thicket
#

The intestines there

#

Each individual vein is a part of the normal map

fluid nova
#

Oh jesus

elder thicket
#

Yes

#

The blood around the face

#

See how it looks like it's actually dried on there

fluid nova
#

Ye

#

This sounds like hell

dire shale
#

why not trying to make your own thing ? like have something quite similar but not exactly the same ? as you know, if you do make exactly the same thing it could go under some law infringement ?

elder thicket
#

Well that's the thing about the laws on it, that if I make the exact same thing and use it without permission I get slapped

#

I think it's also that if I infringe on the concept I'm not safe either

fluid nova
#

Guess no GTFO animations in the near future

dire shale
#

Yes so why not, use the "base" i mean the overall look of the monsters / characters and edit them, like make your own story from some "new characters" you created ?

elder thicket
#

Maybe creative commons would protect me

#

Not to suggest the devs are copyright sharks

dire shale
#

i'm sure you could make something without re-using the models and have a GTFO-like atmosphere, might even caught the dev attention if you create new things that could be interesting in the game ?

fluid nova
#

You could inspire them

#

Or

#

U get urself a new asshole ripped

elder thicket
#

I mean my other problem is that I've not really done humanoid models yet

fluid nova
#

Theres a first for everything my friend

dire shale
#

@fluid nova Or make a new model based on the astmosphere / universe and give it as a suggestion ?

fluid nova
#

Wish I could help but I'm literally useless when it comes to this kind of topic

#

If I could model and do the texturing I would tbh

elder thicket
#

Which in one animation I'm working (that's really dark) I'm making a human

fluid nova
#

Be sure to tag me when u post it

elder thicket
#

Dude pick up Blender and start fucking around with it

#

Of course man, although it's gonna need a content warning

fluid nova
#

I have blender but I have 0 knowledge on the tools and whatever I can do in there

#

It took me an hour to figure out how to rotate the camera

dire shale
#

Lol I do the same when I open blender I make a square and call it a day ๐Ÿ‘Œ

elder thicket
#

Watch the tutorial series

#

I have over 700 hours in Blender and trust me this guy's good

fluid nova
#

Time to learn how to model on the side

#

T-Posing striker when?

elder thicket
#

This guy's also good

#

I mean if you can screenshot the front and side I can make a base model with no textures

dire shale
#

you can do this ingame right ?

elder thicket
#

Do what in-game, screenshot or model things

dire shale
#

Screenshoting the front and sides of a monster lol

#

or a character

elder thicket
#

Yeah when they go and stretch their arms go out into A-pose right

dire shale
#

If you wait long enough you even have the strikers T-Posing while glowing ๐Ÿ˜›

elder thicket
#

It's actually an A-pose if their arms are angled down

dire shale
#

Same thing you get what I meant ๐Ÿ˜›

elder thicket
#

Yeah I gotchu, just having the same body position for everything is important, if they're bent differently from front to side then it gets harder to line things up

dire shale
#

yes I can't really tell how hard it is, i'm more into the programming world ๐Ÿ˜‚ but everytime I see a model or textures it seems a hell of a time trying to make it look nice

elder thicket
#

Actually maybe one of the people that drew some clickers and help because they're much better at doing that without a guide

#

Actually I just noticed even more detail I couldn't see before at the top of the channel

#

Like the picture of a clicker you can see all the shoulder details

fluid nova
#

I can't do programming or modeling so learning either rof these is gon be helpful

hot kindle
#

I hunger for the pleasures of the flesh

formal vault
#

how do i game??

tribal ether
#

Ummm

#

In detail?

formal vault
#

in a team

tribal ether
#

Oh

#

You wanna know how to find a team?

formal vault
#

yes please

tribal ether
#

?t lfg

eager jacinthBOT
tribal ether
#

you should be able to learn it here

tepid smelt
#

do you need to have voice chat when playing with a team?

hushed compass
#

unless they say otherwise

#

than yes typically

tribal ether
#

You can find a team that's willing to play with you still, shouldn't be too hard

keen nymph
#

Is there any benefit to the Long-Range flashlight? Just seems pretty pointless to me.

floral pecan
#

@keen nymph mostly for dark maps, such as D1's escape

#

and it can help for looting once you cleared a room i guess.. but most gadgets don't have much purpose, aside Cfoam nade of course

#

so might as well bring it with you if you've got nothing better

#

it might have a REALLY good use on later rundowns

toxic aurora
#

LRF is King at alerting enemies. It's my favorite consumable.

trail cypress
#

is there any reason to actually put pump shotgun over combat

full sundial
#

higher damage per shot, so if you can't aim as well or don't want to get as close to the enemy to kill them in one shot, it is better in that regard. But otherwise, the combat shotgun out performs the pump shotgun if you can use it close up, and aim it at their head/chest area.

floral pecan
#

pump is a more secure 1 hit kill as well

#

but tbh i prefer combat for many reasons, main one being it shoots faster

#

meaning more staggering power

full sundial
#

combat can one hit kill very easily if you get up close to them and aim for the head area

#

but the combat shotgun and shotgun are the best for taking out the big boys

floral pecan
#

i do feel like a lot of weapons/gadgets might be more usefull with new enemies tbh

full sundial
#

LRF is a good substitute for the DMR/MG flashlights, helps you sync up enemies at around the 10 meter mark which the default flashlight can't do

floral pecan
#

be aware doh

#

they REALLY sense that flashlight

#

if you leave it on just a little bit too long, they'll get allerted

tribal ether
#

You could also shoot a bullet to sync them up

split saddle
#

How much do I have to pay to get a small pet floating over my shoulder?

lilac fulcrum
#

$777,777,777.77

split saddle
#

A Pod 042 would fit in aesthetically, c'mon ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

#

I'll give you $100.

unkempt ridge
#

is there any reason to actually put pump shotgun over combat
@trail cypress more than 2 times more damages, better accuracy and range
Highest damages in the game (more than the Sniper of the Player is close enough), can take out a Scout too (one shot)

#

Is there any benefit to the Long-Range flashlight? Just seems pretty pointless to me.
@keen nymph it's really useful to sync up all the enemies including the ones being far away, you will also beg for a lrf for some levels! It's my second favorite consumable after the cfoam

#

tbh that's the LRF that comforted me to play with the MG, I became addicted to the light

#

@.@

smoky burrow
#

Can i join in lobbies from NA when i'm from another region? I can speak clear english and i don't believe the ping will be a problem.

vital sierra
#

yes

#

but latency will be

#

as well

modest nest
#

Rance as long as you can make sure that the person who has the best connection and pc hosts you should have no problems with playing with NA people, speaking from personal experience

smoky burrow
#

I see, it's just because NA usually hosts more lobbies, that's good to know then, thanks!

bleak merlin
#

So I saw a picture in general chat that looks like he SLeepers covered in C-Foam. is that a thing? does that work offensively like that?

full sundial
#

yeah, if you can get it on them, really handy for taking out scouts easily if you can c-foam it

bleak merlin
#

alright cool. i didnt htink it would have that kind of interaction. i need to learn the enemy names. Scouts = Tentacle head. and then there was some super large boy at one point. and the Sleepers just dont do anythign till alerted. im asuming alot here lol

full sundial
#

There is the two base sleepers, shooters and strikers. Then there is the big variants of both. Then there is the scout. There are two other variants of the strikers that you can experience in the game in C2 and D1, but I won't spoil those new enemies for you ๐Ÿ™‚

nova cliff
#

Does the sniper rifle's scope have a zoom when ADS? Also, how far do you have to be from scouts for a silent kill?

uneven compass
#

Sniper rifles scope does not have a zoom when ADS. You must be pretty far from the sleepers and not be in the same room as the sleepers in order to get a silent snipe.

#

Usually most of the time, a silent snipe is not possible. There may never really be that much room to silently snipe with a few exceptions.

craggy pier
#

hammer

#

cfoam

#

good

#

for killing scouts

#

you must be 30 meters

#

away

#

feet

#

meters?

#

very far away

uneven compass
#

Very far away and not in the same room as the sleepers, like I said.

#

You can always just sneak up and melee the scout silently. Itโ€™s one-shot to the head with a full melee charge.

craggy pier
#

yes

#

or a shotgun blast to the head

#

a normal shotgun

uneven compass
#

I mean thatโ€™d wake everybody else up, but alright.

craggy pier
#

same with a sniper

#

if you miss

#

and or if you underestimate

keen junco
#

If youโ€™re close enough to use a shotgun you may aswell use the hammer

keen nymph
#

@unkempt ridge thank you โค๏ธ

nova cliff
#

Sounds like that the sniper kinda sucks lol

molten epoch
#

Sniper have it uses, I just don't pick it myself, that is someone else's burden : p

floral pecan
#

Only 1 use, kill scouts

#

Can be a stealth kill if you shoot him from a different room from a certain distance

#

@nova cliff ^

scenic plinth
#

Hello, is there a date when GTFO comes out of early access?

limpid fulcrum
#

idk

#

tbh

#

I think there might be some performance problems

#

Also I kinda want a matchmaking system

#

As cool as Discord is

#

A in house matchmaking would be nice

floral pecan
#

@scenic plinth No

#

Will probably be a while

scenic plinth
#

Rip

floral pecan
#

It got out 2 months ago

limpid fulcrum
#

Like this game is pretty good and the devs listen

#

So it's already

bright orchid
#

On the topic of the sniper, are the bullets hitscan?

limpid fulcrum
#

above and beyond

molten epoch
#

@scenic plinth Yo! GTFO was released in December and the initial goal for "GTFO will be in Early Access for approximately a year."
But the devs have no dates as of yet, a lot of things needs to be developed and tweaked to ensure the quality the Devs have set ๐Ÿ™‚

floral pecan
#

@bright orchid as far as i know, everything is

limpid fulcrum
#

Yea

#

The MG is pretty hitscan

#

I need to get used to the muzzle flash

scenic plinth
#

So probs around dec 2020 or first months of 2021

bright orchid
#

Oh, neat. Thank you, friends.

limpid fulcrum
#

Yw

floral pecan
#

Anytime

limpid fulcrum
#

Also nice art Zyrex

molten epoch
#

@scenic plinth It's hard to tell, sometimes it takes longer, sometimes shorter ๐Ÿ™‚ But the Devs have already spent 4 years on the game beforehand, to make sure there is a system that makes new implementation less of a pain ๐Ÿ˜„

scenic plinth
#

Still thinking whether I should buy now since its cheaper or buy when its fully out

molten epoch
#

It is gonna cost more at full release ๐Ÿ™‚
And you can always pick it up now and wait for the full release, as an investment

bright orchid
#

The game as of right now is really good already. I'd say go for it personally.

molten epoch
#

The game have given me around 16 hours content as of now.

scenic plinth
#

Not really a fan of buying early access games so yeah. Perhaps I"ll wait

molten epoch
#

Yeah I get that, me too, but this one have been a good surprised, even that good that I'm doing volunteer moderation for this discord, bc I believe in this project ๐Ÿ˜„

scenic plinth
#

Thats good. Only played the alpha before. Was good enough but I didnt play anymore of it cause I want to reserve myself when it already comes out.

molten epoch
#

That is also a smart solution ๐Ÿ™‚
It ain't "now or never" anyways, so feel free to come back and ask more, if a future update peek your interest ๐Ÿ˜„

scenic plinth
#

Inma just lurk through the game announcements

#

Appreciate the help

molten epoch
#

Np mate, I respect people who is concerned with good investment in their game purchases, feel free to hang around and just ask if needed! ๐Ÿ˜„

#

@scenic plinth I already have over 100 hours in. Beat the first rundown set. Can't wait for the next one! One of my new fav games. Your call but I say go for it.

scenic plinth
#

Soon

stuck vale
#

Just go into a run down with different tools and guns. Or mix up roles. Or explore different set ups . There's technically something you could always do that's different the last. That's how I've managed so many hours in the game too

craggy pier
#

thats just a way to say you are addicted to the game

#

an excuse to why you play so much

elder scarab
#

Yeah, agreed

stuck vale
#

If that's how you perceive it. To me it's trying to play the game to its fullest potential. That is why people solo. You get the best out if the money you spend on the game

elder scarab
#

Trying out every single combination and tweak and just changing the smallest things to get as much out of a relatively finite thing sounds like addiction imo

stuck vale
#

So you play a game never having tried half the guns and tools? Lmao

#

Y'all need to tell the soloers they are addicted to a game for spending hours trying to beat a game meant for 4 people. To me it just seems like a goal that brings challenges to themselves and forces them to think and plan ahead. bcaShrug1

jolly plover
#

Yeah, if you think thats addiction then, and i mean this in the nicest way, are not smart

floral pecan
#

It's amazing to find ways to enjoy games for longer imo

#

I'm not THAT good at it for example, i got 35hrs and called it a day for first rundown

#

Plus, the topic "addiction" goes a lot more in depth than that

minor fractal
#

How much c-foam is needed to freeze a scout? Same for big guys.

#

Also, how can I efficiently use mines? It seems like most groups take them to be useless, but I feel like they could be powerful with a good strategy.

uneven compass
#

It takes around 2-3 units of the c-foam weapon ammo to freeze commons and scouts. Around 10 units for the big sleepers.

craggy pier
#

Mines are fun but if not done well they'll lead to either instantly 100-0ing a teammate, killing a random stray enemy, or doing absolutely nothing.
They're particularly useful for the other side of doors as enemies clump up to destroy them, or at the top of a ladder. As well as if you are doing cross-area pulls, to bait them into a clump and put a mine in their path.

Some people I've seen mine a scout's patrol path but I can't get that done consistently

floral pecan
#

Ok so, to clarify and add on some stuff Sushi said (which is mostly right), the mine killing a scout without waking up the sleepers IS a bug and will be fixed. Mines are HARD to use right, they are usually used for solo, given at that point it's only you moving the sleepers around and deciding when to kill them (normally you should group them up and then run them into a mine). If used in a group with bad placement, mostly what Sushi mentioned can happen. Also, just so you are aware, 1 cfoam nade can freeze a scout and big guys alike @minor fractal

unkempt ridge
#

Also a mine placed too low will not one-shot a scout

tribal ether
#

Or

#

Oh

minor fractal
#

@floral pecan Thanks, the c-foam was mostly about the launcher, since it can be used more controllably.

tribal ether
#

Interesting

#

I feel the nade is easier to be honest

floral pecan
#

oh, luckily Extract got you covered on that one, i never use the launcher

tribal ether
#

When dealing with scouts

floral pecan
#

unless it goes through them

cough cough BestMod

but otherwise, yes.

Just started w/ GTFO last night. Did a solo run to get used to it and want to start joining team runs but since I'm late to the game: what're some first-time tm8 mistakes to avoid? Aside from stuff like being stingy w/ resources, running into a new room and firing at random...dumb shit in general.

@fallen island Most important thing is to ||Have fun|| :D

@fallen island so there is really basic stuff to know, like the enemies detect the light and movement (even crouching / uncrouching), when an enemy has its heart beating stop moving completely, careful to light off your flashlight

#

there are tons of stuff to know but the most important is to ||take the mallet||

#

some mistakes I see a lot of first-timers do is to forget to turn off their flashlight so they wake up enemies

Do not try to lure people to the false boop stick heathen! Gavel Gang!

#

What ! I thought you were mallet gang

#

I feel betrayed

#

oh

#

I misread

Gavel is the choice of the humble man, no vanity! ๐Ÿ˜›

Mallet is the choice for the man, that brings me mallet

so in B1 i keep having issues with killing titans. how does one stealthily kill a room of 5 titans without having to run tf away and waste a bunch of health and ammo on killing them?

unkempt ridge
#

with my boys we were 4 around the titans, 1 target the head, 2 target both legs, and 1 target an arm

#

each one full charge a hammer and hit the target at the same time

molten epoch
#

Yo! A group can take down a big guy with a sync strike, otherwise, pick your battles, sometimes sneaking thru them is a viable solution too ๐Ÿ˜„

unkempt ridge
#

just after it, hit second time (in the air if the titan died already) in case

grizzled ginkgo
#

ive done something similar to that each time

#

but every time we sync a strike the titan doesnt die.

#

which alerts the other titans

unkempt ridge
#

sometimes few normal hit are enough to finish the kill

#

if the 4 fully charged hammer weren't enough

#

but yes in B1 you can also sneak through them

grizzled ginkgo
#

well, if you can get the few normal hits in before the titan swings its arm and downs the whole team in less than a second

unkempt ridge
#

Pog

#

that's strange a big guy didn't die by doing what I said

#

they have less health than the big girls

grizzled ginkgo
#

its happened on both types

#

wiped the two different teams when we failed to kill the striker

unkempt ridge
#

I think if you guys fail to kill a big guy that's because someone weren't hitting the right part

grizzled ginkgo
#

and caused a panic and fight against 5 titans when we couldnt kill the ranger

unkempt ridge
#

ranged won't wipe your team if the 4 hammers are not enough you can kill it after with normal hammer hits without waking up the others

grizzled ginkgo
#

not when theres a striker 10 feet away lol

unkempt ridge
#

Hmmmmm

grizzled ginkgo
#

yea it was all kinds of dumb

#

at this point im bout ready to take a setup a choke and shoot first policy

unkempt ridge
#

I'd tend to start by doing the striker first, also if someone has a cfoam what you can do when 2 big bois are sticking together is to freeze one so he won't wake up when you guys will kill the other

#

lmao

#

anyways in B1 you can just stealth everything after the 1st alarm door

grizzled ginkgo
#

well the striker was in a really bad spot

#

he was standing on stairs

#

and you couldnt get around him

#

and the ranger was in a corner 10 feet behind the titan. the only other direction we could go in that room lol

#

it was also foggy as balls

unkempt ridge
#

okay well

#

sometimes the whole situation just sucks

#

but you can still stealth

grizzled ginkgo
#

i think ill just pose the option to the team next time

#

if weve already done 1 security door, and we have good health and ammo, ill suggest the setup and shoot first option

#

cuz its honestly faster and easier than stealthing or trying to kill them all with stealth

floral pecan
#

i normally just kill them with 4 synced hits

#

sad part is, they don't ALWAYS die

unkempt ridge
#

You will not have enough ammos for all B1 if you do that

floral pecan
#

and yea, you definitelly won't

#

and i'd suggest to kinda get used to it

#

it won't be the only time you see tons of giants in 1 room

grizzled ginkgo
#

im only proposing this for the rooms with 5 titans in them

#

we can handle rooms that have 1 or 2 in them fine if we take out the little guys first

#

stealthily that is

floral pecan
#

that'd be a lot of ammo ๐Ÿค”

#

but eh, it's B1

#

so maybe

#

if you can stealth the other rooms..

#

i believe that map has around 3 mistakes at max

#

or something along those lines

#

1 "mistake" would be clearing the giants loudly

#

so yea, max like 2 more left after that (depending on what mistakes they are of course)

grizzled ginkgo
#

what do you mean?

floral pecan
#

usually most maps have an overall amount of mistakes you can do

#

A.k.A "Hey mess up THIS amount of times and you probably won't have supplies if you mess up again"

#

Messing up = Waking up a room, a scout for the most part

#

of course messups can also be other things and some are worse than others

grizzled ginkgo
#

so what if you kill the scout loudly and wake up the room that way?

floral pecan
#

that's a good amount of resources gone?

#

i think i don't get what you mean

grizzled ginkgo
#

i mean is that counted as a mistake

unkempt ridge
#

that's just a mistake instead of a big mistake

floral pecan
#

let's say this

#

mistakes is what makes you use ammo that you could've not used

#

soo yea, cause you can stealthly kill scouts

grizzled ginkgo
#

is this like a theoretical thing or a thing the game actually tracks?

floral pecan
#

oh nono

#

theoretical

#

literally just a thing of mine that i use to explain

#

to overall give an "idea"

grizzled ginkgo
#

oh

#

so using your theory, the impact that each mistake makes on your supplies is different depending on the situation, right?

tall viper
#

theres only so much ammo and resources and each fuck up costs some resources therefore only so many fuck ups before the ultimate fuck up

floral pecan
#

Mmmh, yea. If you mess up and let's say.. wake up an ENTIRE room, than that will count more than if you wake up a room with only a few sleepers left

#

^ also what grand said

#

everybody explains it in different ways, but the idea is the same

grizzled ginkgo
#

so waking up a small room by killing the scout loudly will waste less resources than trying to stealth kill everything and accidentally touching a tentacle to alert the room and spawn more enemies from the scout

tall viper
#

im a master of fucking it up in this game

#

yeah

grizzled ginkgo
#

its a game of knowing your limits i guess

floral pecan
#

Oh yea, but i'd suggest to opt for options to stealthly kill the scout

tall viper
#

if you know you cant take scouts out easily then bring a sniper and decimate them and deal with the fallout

floral pecan
#

if you want a list of how to kill a scout let me know

#

cause you CAN use snipers to stealthly kill too

#

if the map allows it..

grizzled ginkgo
#

what?

tall viper
#

usually it wont

grizzled ginkgo
#

tell ะผะต

#

i am the sniper of my group

floral pecan
#

NOTE: Always try to kill the scout in an area without sleepers around it, so they won't limit your movement / risk to be woken up when you kill the scout, therefore clearing some areas to have more space to work with is a really good idea

  1. Melee - Once done what it's said in the note, wait for him to trow his tentacles out in a safe spot, once he's done, try to crouch in his possible path. If he walks towards you, then just wait for him to approach you and give him a blow in the face. You can help yourself by crouch walking (Safest way). If he walks away from you, either try to approach him with crouch walking or just wait and retry. NOTE: DO NOT bump into him!
  2. C foam + Melee - Simple and usually most reliable method. Trow a cfoam either at the scout or the ground, DOUBLE CHECK that he got frozen, and THEN just fully charge a melee in the head
  3. Mines - Just place it in its possible path.. but i'd suggest to not get used to this one, cause it's just a bug that it doesn't wake up the room and it will be fixed
  4. Sniper - Another good way and the only good use for sniper. It will wake up the room if you shoot him from too close, but if you can manage to shoot the scout from another room, you can get off with a stealth kill (the furthest you are from the room, the more likely you are to make it as a stealth kill)
grizzled ginkgo
#

cuz im too damn scared to get close lol

floral pecan
#

just look at the forth

grizzled ginkgo
#

hmmmmm

#

makes enough sense

floral pecan
#

of course, you don't always have the chance to do that

grizzled ginkgo
#

what exactly is the range on sleepers for gunshot sounds?

tall viper
#

the room i think

floral pecan
#

sadly i doubt anybody knows that, given there isn't data

#

there is 1 guy doh

#

who has been testing this stuff

#

lemme see if i can ping

#

@unkempt ridge ^

unkempt ridge
floral pecan
#

look at the question please, i'm aware you know a thing or two about that ๐Ÿ‘€

#

or well, you should

unkempt ridge
#

huh

#

just place yourself as far away as possible

grizzled ginkgo
#

what exactly is the range of hearing for sleepers when it comes to gunshot?

unkempt ridge
#

I don't know the range

floral pecan
#

welp nvm

grizzled ginkgo
#

fek

unkempt ridge
#

POG

#

@floral pecan that's nice notes you got there

grizzled ginkgo
#

id like to be able to judge whether or not my shot will wake up the room lol

floral pecan
#

made it for when people ask that myself BestMod

unkempt ridge
#

just precise the mine need to be placed correctly ( a mine on scout's feet won't kill it )

grizzled ginkgo
#

guess ill have to figure out myself

unkempt ridge
#

and a pump shotgun also kill it

floral pecan
#

kk ty

floral pecan
#

and yea, i guess for the time being you can just uh.. be as far as you can.. i guess

#

and just go with that ๐Ÿ‘€

unkempt ridge
#

yes

grizzled ginkgo
#

i mean at this point ill take what i can get

#

if it wakes up the room thats fine. scout cant wake up next room and spawn more enemies, so it still mitigates some risk

unkempt ridge
#

@grizzled ginkgo also if you are the sniper, be aware that's easier to aim for the head when the scout is not lowering down with its tentacles

grizzled ginkgo
#

yea, i learned that lol

unkempt ridge
#

Pog

tribal ether
#

@unkempt ridge really do be helping peeps alot

grizzled ginkgo
#

ive only shot one, but i did it right after he brought them back

floral pecan
#

oor

grizzled ginkgo
#

it was dark af and a literal shot in the dark

floral pecan
#

learn how to melee it BestMod

tribal ether
#

Ye

grizzled ginkgo
#

but i was real happy when the graphic popped up for the kill lol

tribal ether
#

Your choice

unkempt ridge
#

@unkempt ridge really do be helping peeps alot
@tribal ether dont say that when @floral pecan is just here helping literally more than me LOL

tribal ether
#

I already praise him tho

unkempt ridge
#

Owo

floral pecan
#

this is the channel i lurk on ๐Ÿ‘€

unkempt ridge
#

but i was real happy when the graphic popped up for the kill lol
@grizzled ginkgo that satisfying feeling

tall viper
#

why are people praising other people?

grizzled ginkgo
#

i mean, it was such a high pressure shot

#

i only had one bullet

#

we were all hurt

#

and didnt have the confidence to face a scout head on lol

floral pecan
#

i had such a situation once, but the deal was we were all in a room with like 3 big boys and we were REALLY low on supplies

#

and lots of small ones

tribal ether
#

One day you will learn it

floral pecan
#

of course that's on B1, when i had like 5hrs into the game

#

and yea, i think i was the one who woke the room up

#

wasn't that good at stealth back then ๐Ÿ‘€

unkempt ridge
tribal ether
#

I do recommend learning to melee the scouts, so the special weapon slot, can be used for something else

floral pecan
#

my team was able to stay alive doh, it was tragic. Just seeing the big boys slowly stomp towards them and not knowing what's happening

#

Oh yea, that too ^

tribal ether
#

Zy, didnt we clear C2 together

grizzled ginkgo
#

๐Ÿค”

tribal ether
#

And then fail at C1

floral pecan
#

i think i only played with you once, and that was C1

grizzled ginkgo
#

i like the sniper tho

floral pecan
#

oh yea ofc, as long as you like it

grizzled ginkgo
#

great for squishing titan heads

unkempt ridge
#

the major issue I have with melee the scout is you usually have to clean up some other sleepers before, and that means if that's not handled correctly that's kinda fucked up

tribal ether
#

Ye

floral pecan
#

some options are better than others, but if you like something and you are happy with it, that should be first priority

tribal ether
#

Yes

#

Indeed

floral pecan
#

Oh yea, meleeing a scout is a rough process and easy to mess up

#

i've personally been doing it all the time when i see a scout just to practice it

#

been going fairly well

grizzled ginkgo
#

i honestly like going for lower risk lower reward situations rather than high risk high reward situations

#

tho sometimes theres no choice

tribal ether
#

I like melee them, since you get such a good felling

floral pecan
#

oh yea

#

rip sunflower

grizzled ginkgo
#

nothing is more satisfying than seeing the kill graphic when you took a blind shot

unkempt ridge
#

killing a scout with the sniper is the most satisfying feeling I have in this game

#

;-;

tribal ether
#

Tho, in some special cases, has the one in B2 between zone 16 and 17, where you can take the.shot, I feel it might be.worth to bring

#

Without waking them up

grizzled ginkgo
#

and i mean

#

using the sniper. even if it does wake them up, if you prepare for them to wake up, then you likely wont lose as much supplies as if you went in trying to stealth and then made a mistake

tribal ether
#

Ye

floral pecan
#

Yea that can work too

grizzled ginkgo
#

so as long as the people i keep getting in my teams are inexperienced and shy when it comes to stealth, im more inclined to take the safer route

tribal ether
#

I like the high risk, high reward more.tho

grizzled ginkgo
#

i also have two issues with the game... when you run out of glowsticks, it automatically switches you to a weapon. so you go to throw another one and accidentally spray your smg everywhere

#

and the other is when you click out and then back in, it does an attack

unkempt ridge
#

yeah it was in the suggestions before, hopefully the devs will change it

grizzled ginkgo
#

ive woken up like 3 rooms because of this >_>

unkempt ridge
#

and the other is when you click out and then back in, it does an attack
@grizzled ginkgo what do you mean ?

grizzled ginkgo
#

click off the game, like to discord, and then click back onto the game

tribal ether
#

I never even it realised it did that to be honest

#

The glowstick one

unkempt ridge
#

oh yeah

#

that's why I alt-tab

#

instead of clicking

tribal ether
#

Ye

unkempt ridge
#

but that's a normal behavior, it will do that on other FPS too

tribal ether
#

Alt tab for.the win

grizzled ginkgo
#

i have two screens and normally play my games in borderless window, so its habit to just click off and then back in

tribal ether
#

Oh

#

cries in solo.screen setup

grizzled ginkgo
#

yea, but it sucks when you wanna do something on the other screen for a moment and you click back in and accidentally ruin the whole situation

unkempt ridge
#

cries in solo.screen setup
@tribal ether HR_HeadPat

grizzled ginkgo
#

just cuz its normal for the main genre doesnt mean we cant pursue some sort of fix for it because of the sub genres of the game

unkempt ridge
#

well I mean

#

you click you shot

#

the game isn't supposed to detect your click was to focus window on it

#

w<

grizzled ginkgo
#

but it could

#

quality of life changes my man

#

they go a long way

#

devs showing theyre willing to listen to their community and make qol changes like that will do more for them than adding 8 new levels of content and ignoring the qol issues by brushing them off and saying โ€œits normalโ€

tribal ether
#

But it is normal, and I think they have more important things to work on

grizzled ginkgo
#

like yea its normal, and i could eventually teach myself to go around the issue, but itd be really cool if they just eliminated it altogether

#

and im not demanding an immediate fix either. not saying fix it now, just consider fixing it at some point so i can stop being annoyed by it lol

#

asking to fix it now is like asking someone carrying a stack of boxes in their arms to hold the door for me

steady drum
#

hello are scouts supposed to teleport down stairs

grizzled ginkgo
#

i would say no

steady drum
#

mm lost twice to that

#

no animation nothing

grizzled ginkgo
#

prolly a bug then

snow hornet
#

WHEN IS NEXT FLOOR!

floral pecan
#

@steady drum big guys and scouts just "jump"

#

So basically yes

steady drum
#

do you know if there gonna fix it

#

or is it intended?

floral pecan
#

Sadly no idea. I'd say intended cause they do have some animation

crystal kestrel
#

Can the scans be different for the amount of people there is in the squad e.g numbers of scans reduced by 3 for 1 person

#

unkempt ridge
#

No it doesn't scale

#

since the game is made for 4 people

#

maybe in the next patches but no one knows

tool refill on bioscanner

#

does it do anything

shell galleon
#

No, it doesn't consume anything.

craggy pier
#

Gotcha, so no upgrading range or anything then damn

shell galleon
#

There have been teasers in the past about different upgrades to the Bioscanner, but none in the works that I'm currently aware of.

full sundial
#

The bioscanner starts with 67% on tab for some people besides the person that has it equipped, and you can use two tool refill on it to get to 100%, which means you just wasted two tool refill, it does nothing extra though

#

When I first saw the 67% I thought it would recharge its scan faster, but nah, just a waste

lament burrow
#

I'm sure this has already been asked, but any news on when the next rundown is going to happen?

green sigil
fading grail
#

No news as of yet - all we know is that it's being work on and the Devs are well aware people are eager to play the next Rundown :p

grizzled ginkgo
#

my question is: will you be able to play old rundowns or is each rundown like a timed event?

dire shale
#

As far as we know new rundow will replace the actual ones
But it might come later that wa have an "archives" of the old rundows but unsure about that, i know it has been suggested before

grizzled ginkgo
#

that makes me sad. i dont like it when games lock lore away forever once that content is no longer the newest content

dire shale
#

Just keep an eye on the roadmap they give, there is plenty of information on the upcoming updates; rundowns might later have a save of the old rundows or be linked to it, but so far there is no sure information (only supposition) if the rundown will be available after the next release

errant bane
#

i would hope they would keep the previous rundown as well just for more content

lilac fulcrum
#

The user interface would be too cluttered trying to gold onto all previous Rundowns. They could make a return but the idea is to rotate out Rundowns for new ones

can someone explain mines to me? do they explode in a sphere, a cone, or a line?

unkempt ridge

along the laser

#

don't place them on your or your allies' path

#

a mine placed too high will not be triggered by crawling sleepers

#

a mine placed too low will not kill a scout

#

And a line placed at ya heart, will steal ya love, and marriage with a mine is hell

#

I heard that you can't host a match so others can join, or join a particular match to play with friends. Is this still the case? Matchmaking is just completely random?

craggy nest
#

wait so just to confirm, the full damage of the mine will be felt all along the line?

molten epoch
#

@weary crater Yo! The game have never had "random matchmaking", in fact as of now (but on its way) there is no Matchmaking.
You can make lobbies, when you do that, you get a lobby ID that you can send to friends, they just need to copy that number into their clipboard. and when they enter the rundown menu, they'll join your lobby ๐Ÿ™‚

weary crater
#

Awesome, thanks for clearing this up. My cousin has been very misguided indeed... ha.

molten epoch
#

Haha, that's the internet for you ๐Ÿ˜› You can take a look in the #how-to-matchmake, that should explain everything ๐Ÿ˜„

unkempt ridge
#

wait so just to confirm, the full damage of the mine will be felt all along the line?
@craggy nest I think yes but I'm not sure, you can verify with a mate, place a mine, tell him to go at the farther away possible on the laser and shot in the mine

craggy nest
#

ok thanks ๐Ÿ™‚

floral pecan
#

if i'm not mistaken i've tried that.. and the answer should be yes

#

can't be 100% sure just cause i don't hop into the game from like 2 months now (i need this new rundown)

signal stone
#

Whats the point of pinging a hsu? it says its in zone_52 area_a but nothing special is there

unkempt ridge
#

the hsu is there

grizzled ginkgo
#

pinging something makes a noise whereas querying something tells you what zone its in

#

so when youโ€™re in that zone, you ping it, and the ping helps you find it easier

signal stone
#

What are HSU then?

#

cuz i explored that whole room and nothing is there lol

grizzled ginkgo
#

they are canisters

#

full of peopleโ€™s DNA

#

each one has a different tag

unkempt ridge
#

that's a HSU

grizzled ginkgo
#

that works too

#

Are you allowed to open them all?

unkempt ridge
#

you can't

you can only interact with the one you must find

your HUD will prompt you once you get in frond of the right HSU

#

yeah I've been using biotracker than then 3 shotgun sentries

unkempt ridge

why

cerulean ridge
#

idk tbh its probably just my group lol someone keeps alerting the zombies and then we waste so much ammo

unkempt ridge
#

stealth issues ?

#

when sleepers are around a sleeper you want to kill, you need to be sure they're not glowing while you're killing the sleeper, also don't move after killing it, check around to see if everything is fine

#

a sleeper facing another sleeper you're killing is more likely to wake up too

#

sleepers can wake up from very far away unfortunately so you really need to check up pretty everything in your field of view isn't glowing

#

Also, if you're failing the alarm door, after clearing zone_70, go to zone_75/76 to get tool refill and fill up on ammo/meds

Is there any way to consistently kill the black spikey bois

#

sometimes they get one-shot, sometimes they stagger and take 3 more hits

tribal ether
#

You have to hit them from behind

Max melee from behind in the middle of their back/spine

#

hey! i used the terminal to ping a keycard, it said it was in 17a but i canโ€™t find anything in 17a

#

i already checked all the lockers

mental comet
#

If you are playing with someone else just keep pinging it until they can find it

jovial hatch
#

we checked everything in the room and we canโ€™t find anything

mental comet
#

Which level you on?

jovial hatch
#

b-2

mental comet
#

maybe one of you already grabbed it without realizing idk

stuck vale
#

Someone got it or you missed a sneaky locker. Really never seen a terminal give false information so

jovial hatch
#

it accepted an incorrect keycard

unkempt ridge
tribal ether
#

Hmmm

#

Very sus

#

It might be a sleeper then

stuck vale
#

I have had an instance in b2 where the name on door and name on keycard was actually very different that I thought we never found the card. But the terminal still said it was in the location it was so

#

I just end up running back with each card just in case to make sure

#

xd

full sundial
#

If you leave and rejoin an expedition, the terminal quite regularly gives false info, probably if things changed while you weren't in the expedition. I have also had one of my teammates have a different keycard than the one the door needed, and the door accepted it. Also, almost all keycards stay on the list of items even if you already picked them up from the games I have played.

grizzled ginkgo
#

so can you two shot a titan with a sniper or is it 3 shots minimum?

I don't think you can two shot them with a sniper.

grizzled ginkgo
#

can you two shot them with anything or is sniper unrivaled in per shot damage?

toxic aurora
#

I think sniper is unrivaled.

#

no mines have more flat damage I think

grizzled ginkgo
#

well uh, i dont count mines... cuz that isnt a gun >_>

full sundial
#

the shotgun close up is more powerful than the sniper

#

if the sniper was able to three shot big strikers and shooters, then it would be much more useful

toxic aurora
#

Some said that the shotgun at points blank took 4 shots to kill a big guys and a sniper took 5.

craggy pier
#

sniper only has 11 shots tho

#

so its an imbalance/a losing sniper battle

grizzled ginkgo
#

๐Ÿค”

#

i 3 shot a titan with a sniper tho

#

tf you mean it takes 5?

craggy pier
#

i can take 3-5

#

maybe more

#

damage fall off is disgusting if it has any

#

feels llike it

grizzled ginkgo
#

i 3 shot a titan across the HSU room in A1 with the sniper

#

so it was long ranged

craggy pier
#

ive 5-6 shot them

#

from across the room

grizzled ginkgo
#

did you shoot it in a different spot each time?

#

i shot it in the head first

craggy pier
#

head off

#

then like chest area

grizzled ginkgo
#

then once at the waistline

#

and once in the chest

#

and it fell over

craggy pier
#

it could depend

#

but you never know

grizzled ginkgo
#

i will note that due to the long range it took a moment for the bullets to hit

#

they actually blinded me between shots cuz of how much light they gave off

craggy pier
#

mhm

#

but still sniper is the weakest of all the weapons

#

like it can do well, but other weapons will outclass is

#

it*

grizzled ginkgo
#

idk its been super useful for me

#

only weapon ive found that can oneshot a scout from 10m+

#

and 3 shot a titan from 40+

craggy pier
#

well

#

yes

#

but in alarms which is the main hard part of the game it falls out

grizzled ginkgo
#

meh i just take an smg

craggy pier
#

titans take 5 shots awakened

#

i think

#

3-5

grizzled ginkgo
#

i just know ive found it far more useful than youโ€™re letting on. as long as im a little conservative with my smg, i dont do badly in alarms

craggy pier
#

yeah because the other teammates are helping

#

im just saying

#

its probably at the bottom although all are viable

#

if it gets buffed then i would say it is good

unkempt ridge
#

can you two shot them with anything or is sniper unrivaled in per shot damage?
@grizzled ginkgo pump shotgun do higher damages (assuming you're close and the pellets hit)
you need 4+ ammos at least

#

tbh just play the sniper if you really like it

#

relying on SMG is fine for most of alarm doors

craggy pier
#

yeah

#

just saying the sniper isnt the top A++++++++++

#

its like B

full sundial
#

nah, it is one of the worst weapons, but of course, it can still be useful

craggy pier
#

i said b to make everyone happy

full sundial
#

just a lot of other weapons/combos can do what the sniper can do better

craggy pier
#

tbh its morel ike a c

#

no weapon is completely trash

full sundial
#

compared to the other weapons available, yes it is trash

#

but if no other weapons were available, it can do the job

#

only good use I have seen for it is for speed running, taking out a scout fast

craggy pier
#

no

#

speed running its bad

full sundial
#

but if you aren't speed running, you can take the scout out with just a hammer

craggy pier
#

cause you cant do a door with it

#

impossible should i say

#

unless you get cfoam

full sundial
#

a group did D1 in 12:30 or something around that with a sniper on one of them

craggy pier
#

too many enemies for 11 shots

full sundial
#

to take out the two scouts

craggy pier
#

oh i was thinking solo

#

i always think solo

full sundial
#

if I don't say solo, it isn't solo lol, but yeah

#

solo, sniper is terrible

craggy pier
#

ye

#

and in a group it can be mehhh

#

C

#

c = medicore

#

to bad

#

B is like Mg in a group, Cshotty

#

A is shotgun, the other ones i didnt mention

#

cshotty just is above average

#

and shotgun is great for later levels

#

cause it 1shots blackheads

By any chance will consumable be stackable or recharged?

rating weapons like that is kinda non sense since they're all good at different domains Owo

@hallow cedar we're all praying for that

#

Hi guys, new player here. Is there any wiki/guide page I must read before starting?

craggy pier
#

here is the wiki

#

if you wanna read up on stuff, you dont have to

#

but its always good to know a few things before you start!

#

when you are ready to start go to

#

?T lfg

eager jacinthBOT
craggy pier
#

what the bot says

oblique bramble
#

I just don't wanna be a burden to my new team, might as well start boot camp

craggy pier
#

and just say you are new

#

hehe

#

just watch a few videos, learn the basics

#

and go into A1 with a team or make the game

#

host* for people

#

there are many willing people to help new players

oblique bramble
#

Thanks, I'll read and watch basics first anyway

craggy pier
#

๐Ÿ‘

oblique bramble
#

are there many people playing though? I like this game

craggy pier
#

yeah

#

just check the lfg channels

oblique bramble
#

alright, thank you ๐Ÿ˜‰

unkempt ridge
#

@oblique bramble don't worry about being a burden, everyone starts without the basics in A1, hopefully someone with some knowledge will join you to teach you some stuff, if not you will be with people at your level anyway, just precise you just bought the game :D

craggy pier
#

play the game solo haha, dont do that at all

oblique bramble
#

I might need to read up about weapons and equipment, my shooting skill is whimsical lol

unkempt ridge
#

I'd say the most basic knowledges are : sleepers detect light and sounds (crouching/uncrouching included), and stop moving completely (except your mouse) when a sleeper heartbeat

#

Some weapons are better for people having trouble to shoot and aim, like if you're bad at shooting then you can avoid DMR and Pistol until you feel comfier, and about your special weapon you can take one of both shotgun, you don't even need to always aim with them

oblique bramble
#

thanks, I'll keep that in mind. planning to use a shotgun for myself anyway, seems the area around the facility is quite tight

full sundial
#

When you get to B2 though, someone bringing a DMR would be a great help for you, most the sleepers in that expedition will be shooters, and the DMR can one-shot headshot them.

unkempt ridge
#

also theres friendly fire

#

with the bug that doesn't let some of the squad get completion, will we get completion or something to compensate when the bug is fixed?

full sundial

probably not

distant mesa
#

Are the people on early access getting a small or whatever discount on the full price of the game when it releases?

craggy pier
#

If you bought the early access you bought the game

#

no more fees to my knowledge

#

@distant mesa

mental comet
#

By purchasing it on Steam you now permanently have a license of the game, no re-purchase required, although additional cosmetics/dlc will likely be micro transactions

distant mesa
#

Oh my that's excellent news, thanks guys (I'm kinda new to pc gaming so I don't really know how early access works entirely)

craggy pier
#

Didn't devs say there will be no microtransactions?

mental comet
#

they said there is potential "support the dev" type content, but purely cosmetic, unless they have changed that statement

craggy pier
#

Which I'm definitely going to be doing lol

distant mesa
#

They said that depending on how the finances of the game go, they might add some cosmetics and stuff like that to support the devs, but no lootboxes, microtransactions or p2w stuff, it's on one of the other chats in here (ama answers I think)

mental comet
#

cosmetics are technically micro-transactions, it's just lootbox related crap they said they weren't doing

distant mesa
#

Exactly ๐Ÿ‘Œ

grizzled ginkgo
#

the real thing to ask is are they going to pull a bethesda and charge an arm and a leg for said cosmetics

hasty mauve
#

Probably more like a torso in gold!

#

๐Ÿ’ฐ๐Ÿ’ฐ

#

Naw, I mean,
The dev pack is not a granted, and only for those who want to support extra if we even do it :)

The plan with the character customization is to have it being earned or found in game ๐Ÿ™‚

grizzled ginkgo
#

was mostly joking

hasty mauve
#

I know ๐Ÿ˜‰

grizzled ginkgo
#

you guys seem to be more sensible, factorio-type game-dev group

modest nest
#

Charging arm and leg thonk That's actually a good idea,let there be arm and leg customization

hasty mauve

Thanks bud! @grizzled ginkgo

there is multiplayer

to find a match got to LFG-your location

sterile cliff
#

for alarms should you be trying to go and claim the spots asap? or should we clear out the enemies a bit before splitting up?

mental comet
#

immediately disable alarms

#

the longer you leave them the more waves will spawn

sterile cliff
#

how are you meant to survive? some of those spot leaves you really exposed

mental comet
#

kill the immediately engaged ones, once you have some breathing time, go for the alarms

#

best thing to do in a squad is to have shotgun turrets holding where the enemies will spawn from, if there's a door between them and the alarm door, c-foam it if possible

sterile cliff
#

foam the door itself or in front of it?

unkempt ridge
#

for alarms should you be trying to go and claim the spots asap? or should we clear out the enemies a bit before splitting up?
@sterile cliff claim the spots asap while clearing the path, no need to expose yourself if it's too risky

#

the door itself of course

sterile cliff
#

if they don't get through the door and you turn the alarm off do they de-spawn or something

unkempt ridge
#

no

#

they'll break the door anyway

#

sleepers don't despawn AFAIK

#

except maybe if they spawned too far away

if they don't get through the door and you turn the alarm off do they de-spawn or something
@sterile cliff
If you finish the alarm there will be no more spawn but every monster from the wave (even from the spawn) will come to you until you killed them all
So do the alarm spot asap and then just survivre the current wave
Sometimes splitting (2 on alarms and 2 defending) can be very helpful depending on the area and your gear ๐Ÿ‘Œ

Quick question? Does GTFO stand for Get The F*ck Out? I assume so, but just curious whether it's true.

full sundial
#

Yes it does

sturdy dew
#

?t gtfo

eager jacinthBOT
#

The game is called GTFO and it doesn't stand for "Get The Fuck Out" but rather the feeling you have that you want to complete The Warden's objective and GTFO.

unkempt ridge
#

this sentence confuses me

craggy pier
#

๐Ÿค”

grizzled ginkgo
#

its PR

#

they dont want to directly say it

#

cuz then the media

#

would fokkin take it and run

craggy pier
#

i mean any media acknowledgement is good stuff right?

#

like teens when thye hear the media trashtalking a video game will usually check it out to see what the game would be

grizzled ginkgo
#

apparently the devs dont think so xD

#

also, just take a look at fallout 76. they got a bunch of media coverage

craggy pier
#

yeah and people agreed the game was trash

#

its a mutual agreement if the media says a game is amazing or trash then people will check it out

#

if the people agree that the game is amazing then good on the devs
if they say its trash then welp game go byebye

#

but for a game that is quite new and still in v0.1 i do agree that it probably wouldnt be a good idea for them to do something that could destroy them

versed dock
#

I've heard some one say if you hit the 'giants' in the back you do more damage rather than the head . is that true?

toxic aurora
#

Don't think so.

versed dock
#

So , head is still the safest choice?

toxic aurora
#

Yes

#

The only enemy that seems to take incrased damage on the rear is the charger

versed dock
#

I don't know the names of them , but are they the spikey heads?

toxic aurora
#

yep

versed dock
#

Ight thanks

#

back of the head

#

if you hit them at the back of their head you deal double

unkempt ridge
#

how do you know that

craggy pier
#

cause

#

yes

vital sierra
#

TEST?

#

you can 1 shot scout with revolver

#

medium range

#

back of the head

#

and that just make sniper USELESS even more

unkempt ridge
#

what

#

I'd like to see a video about a revolver one shot scout

vital sierra
#

ok

#

while at that

#

why don't you just

#

you know

#

hammer only

#

like the guy on reddit

#

solo B2 with bio and hammer only

unkempt ridge
#

what's the connection with the revolver ?

craggy pier
#

idk revolver is good

unkempt ridge
#

'-'

#

we were talking about revolver one shotting a scout

craggy pier
#

oh

#

i mean no it cant?

unkempt ridge
#

Alpha say it can

craggy pier
#

tbh if you blast a scouts head off but its still alive

unkempt ridge
#

so I ask for a proof so I can add it on the wiki

craggy pier
#

it should only wake the room

vital sierra
#

it can

#

it deal 48 damage

#

let me find a scout

#

you can only kill a scout in 1 shot

#

when you hit the back of it head

#

FUCK

#

maybe i should use the foam

#

for easy demonstration

full sundial
#

lmao

#

yeah, sniper still has the use of long range killing a scout, and not waking the room if far enough from the enemyies

#

enemies*

#

but other than that, the sniper is pretty trash

vital sierra
#

well

#

the revolver are medium range

full sundial
#

don't really need to long range kill a scout when you can melee it

#

unless you aren't used to doing that yet, then the sniper makes things easier for dealing with scouts, but only helps you with scouts

#

which is justified, scouts are dangerous if not taken care of correctly

vital sierra
#

well

#

if the gun have only 1 purpose

#

then it's bad

full sundial
#

yeah

regal pagoda
#

I know it's Overkill. But it's kind of satisfying shooting a sleeper in the face with a sniper even though It's a complete waste.

full sundial
#

I think making the sniper more effective at taking out big strikers/shooters would give it more utility

vital sierra
#

you have 3 bullets

full sundial
#

maybe if you land a headshot and two body shots, the big boys go down

vital sierra
#

if you hit all 3 on the titan

#

then they're dead

#

if you missed 1
