what is the weak ponts for all the enemies?

There's a lot more than 17k ambassadors, it's impressive

Most sleepers weak point is actually their head
A fully charged melee to the head will kill them

neat

head and back are weakpoints for most
back of the head is weakest point on most as well

any tips for newer people
round swan
be patient
the more you wait, and be patient
the better you will do
trust me, if you take longer to sync up the guys and make sure you don't activate them, the better you will do
if you leave a room, leave slowly as to not trigger them, if you enter, wait untill theyve stopped beating to move

okay thanks

What issue are you having? Getting overwhelmed? Running out of supplies?
edgy pumice
Well, among having issues with my frame rates, we always get overwhelmed
jovial flint
what tools do you bring
edgy pumice
Biotracker and mines/sentries
jovial flint
would honestly just go for 3 sentries or 2sentry/1mine with smart sentry placement
bio tracker is not really needed in a1
sturdy dew
a setup for A1 i find good is C-Foam, mines and one shotgun sentry

hi is the movement of enemies really glitchy for anyone else?
their animations feel really choppy and they teleport sometimes idk

It has to do with connection

@primal night The host likely has a PC that can't handle the game very well. It could also be that your PC is having a hard time if it's just for you.

Why is shotgun sentry listed as 'Rundown Specific' now?
oblique dust
From my understanding, all weapons and tools listed as 'Rundown Specific' are not going to be in each rundown, only select rundowns.
full sundial
The new enemy ||hybrids seem to be a cross between big shooters and chargers (charging and punching, but also shooting from a distance), so maybe they are similar to chargers in that they take less damage in the front, but take normal damage in the back side? Idk for sure, but shotgun sentrys make quick work of them when shooting at their back, like all enemies for that matter||
a good strat I like to use for them: ||have them walk along a path in front of your sentry, then step out of cover so they do their charge up to launch projectiles at you, then shoot it a bit to help the sentry out as shooting it while they charge up seems to stop their volley of projectiles from firing 20 and instead just 1-3 shots instead|| this kills them quick from my fights with them

what would be a good load out for 3 person runs tool wise? just 3 sentries to hope for the best with doors or something else? we dont have a 4th yet to do runs with yet.(yes i know i can find groups here this is just for if my freinds dont feel like coming here)
distant ice
You'll have to switch it up depending on maps, I suggest just trying out the different tools to get a feel for when to use what
placid cobalt
||Hybrids are like all other shooters tho, take off their head and they instantly die||
jaunty canopy
lets say just the first level for now
tribal ether
If three, I would say one mine, one sentry, and one foam, for the first time in any mission, then after wards when you've tried it, you can select tools, that fit more to the mission. So basically have 1 mine, 1 sentry, and 1 foam be the go to one, when first timing a mission
full sundial
Personally, I would say one one mine and two shotgun sentries would be more optimal as you find c foam grenades in most expeditions you would need c foam in
jaunty canopy
i mean its worth a shot either way
full sundial
But yeah, if you can get four players, do it with four lol
jaunty canopy
yeah thats the plan. just asked just incase

Good luck!

They are locked for now

ah okay, i was wondering if i have to clear d1 for it to unlock-- still stuck in b, think this rundown is harder, WAY harder than the last one

what can i do with the console in the game?
tribal ether
The terminal?
Many important things
Like, finding mission objectives
And, finding other stuff
prisma briar
anyone got some tips for C1/C2?
stable locust
Use C-Foam.
On C1 for the terminal scans, have the guy with the foam launcher continuously spraying the door that's being broken down to reinforce it each time the foam breaks off, and do this until the uplink is done.
craggy pier
btw how do you correctly bhop
stuck vale
Try to always clear out mini wave before attempting doors. Will save you some resources
stable locust
C2 as well: ||When you make it to the 2nd alarm door and finish the scan, get upstairs quickly and drop the turbine at the top of the stairs when you get out of the fog. You will be slowed down tremendously if you keep carrying it around, and it will help for a faster escape once you get all the IDs.||
C1: ||It is much easier if the final terminal uplink is in 206 instead of 207.||
keen junco
C1 is made 100 times easier if ||you bring 4 mine deployers. 2 people mine up the starting area to begin with and then work your way forward. You have to have some RNjesus on your side to get some C foam grenades for the doors you have to protect. We found Working our way backwards through terminals was very effective and the last terminal area with the scout doesn’t trigger it if you do the infection door and then run away to a different section of the map. By the time you run low on mines you should have taken practically zero damage so you should still have a lot of Health packs and ammo packs so you can gun down anything in your way at the last terminal||
craggy pier
btw how do you correctly bhop
@craggy pier if you mean bhop as in gaining speed, I don't think that is possible.
distant ice
B3 spoilers ||does B3 uplink infinite horde have the spawn limiter? I had a train of easily over 20 and probably more around, went back to the terminal and more spawned right next to me||

question about which special gun should i use with dmr
tribal ether
@slow bane What was ya loadout in tools?
thorny current
@distant ice yes it has. Was always a massive amount of enemies even in R1. The extraction waves are always larger.
tribal ether
Hmm
distant ice
i suppose that means it won't end even after i'm done
distant ice
i feel like the devs just hate people who try to play with less than 4
it's not just "oh you're not considered"
slow bane
ty
distant ice
it's "you're considered and we WILL try to kill you"
tribal ether
||Yeah, two mines almost kills an entire trap door, I believe. Well, it makes them a ton easier, so you spare some ammo there ||
||And mines are just good in general if you place them good||
distant ice
omg zipped even as a spoiler that's so spoiler that i can't even spoiler
distant ice
i've had 2 mines leave only like 5 alive, other times with same (like, 99% same) placement they barely kill any
tribal ether
Still, mines are just a nice tool to have with you
distant ice
yh, we usually run with mines-bio on 1st and for now mines-foam seems it for others
yes, foam grenades, but we got tactics n shit, it's smart trust me pls
tribal ether
Our first runs we for the most time bring, 1 mine, 1 foam, and 2 sentries
I liek the foam launcher
I get that foam nades are great too, but the launcher is also very good
distant ice
i mean a grenade was ~15 ammo in R1 iirc
sturdy dew
probably still is
distant ice
never tried counting
sturdy dew
it could foam a door in one so it was at least

It takes 12 to foam a door, so makes sense

i feel like the devs just hate people who try to play with less than 4
it's not just "oh you're not considered"
@distant ice Maybe feels like it, but that is not their intention. It is advertised as a 4 player coop game. So it makes only sense for them to balance around 4 players. R1 was kinda easy compared to this Rundown. It was a much needed necessity towards the hardcore advertisment. Now strats and careful stealth actually have a meaning especially when reaching C. That it becomes harder for solo and duo players by default, because of that is unfortunate, but a necessary "evil". When Im ready I will try and conquer those levels solo. Prolly fun and disgustingly hard. I have way more fun with 4 people now. In R1 it was just a walk in the park with 4. Esp when those 4 understood the game.
real flame
I agree that R2 is more challenging than R1
R2B floor makes R1D1 look fairly simple
distant ice
The stealth got few changes, it's that this rundown so far is super alarm heavy
Like before bonking got old
Now alarms got old real fast
They introduced some variety to how combat goes, but much more than that they introduced ways to start alarms, which doesn't really change much
real flame
I don't quite understand what you mean by "alarms"
Scouts function the same, alarm doors function the same
distant ice
Also default scan went from 1 to 4ish
real flame
Yes, because 1 was too easy for squads of 4, which the game is geared towards
distant ice
I mean uplink terminals etc
real flame
The uplinks in R2 have over 50% less "scans" than the uplinks from R1C floor
distant ice
Well you certainly don't get my point and now I'm successfully confused on how to explain
thorny current
Ye, more or less the first alarm door of R1D1, became a staple in this Rundown.
real flame
The game is advertised as a 4-player hardcore
I don't understand a point of talking about how difficult this game is 🙁
Literally advertised and sold as such...
thorny current
😱

We need a room, that's made out of scouts
Walls, floor, roof etc

@real flame echofive basically said what I was feeling in #gtfo-chat

The infinite waves?

||is the scout + bloody door in C1 intentional; it fucking sucks||
tribal ether
||Most mission when done with the objective will ensue an endless alarm, until you've extracted ||@real flame
tribal ether
I don't have anything against personally
real flame
Neither do I, it wouldn't be very "hardcore" if you just waltzed to extract and sat until 100%, completely unharmed
minor fractal
@fading tangle ||206A or 207A?||

Tbh I think the game is fine rn. Like sure we need more stuff. But we in update no. 2
real flame
We're in Early Access V0.18 🤣

Ok?

I mean not only extraction, but infinite waves until anything, scans included
fading tangle
usually it's ||206|| if I remember @minor fractal
craggy pier
yo guys ive got a question
minor fractal
Never had it happen yet, but that sounds both sick and wtf.
distant ice
As for extraction specifically, r1d1 would've been much scarier if instead of infinite waves until extraction, we got invisible sleepers populating the darkness of rooms we cleared earlier
real flame
But wouldn't you still just run through to extract and hunker for the following horde?
Basically netting the same end result for R1D1? Running back to extract and fighting a horde?
distant ice
You say it like that, you can technically clear every level with just running around and not killing anything
icy nacelle
"we got invisible sleepers populating the darkness of rooms we cleared earlier"
dude now I just want a room of sleeping shadows
tribal ether
I want a room of nothing
But peace and quite
Just like the sleepers
I shall join them

You can find several depending on rng?
buoyant socket
I want a room with just a nice couch and a pot of warm coffee
tribal ether
Shhhhh storm, I said peace and quite
distant ice
Living quarters rundown eventually
buoyant socket
E1 is just a social flex zone

You can't because you would have to kill things for Alarmed doors...

Guys what should my aim sensitivity be so its 1:1 with my main mouse sensitivity? that shit is so much slower and throws off my aim
real flame
If you're running duo's on a game clearly meant for groups of 4, and you don't like the difficulty, I don't think there's a strat for that...
distant ice
Your teeth shine like brilliant diamonds in the light of my long range flashlight. All 255 of them.
dapper compass
I guess your aimed sensivity should be 100% ?
distant ice
My dude I told you already, it's not that it's difficult
It's how the difficulty is added
dapper compass
I don't know if the game multiplies both or the other way around
marsh vapor
hmmmmmmmmm i tried around 90 for aim sensitivity and it was faster than regular aim
distant ice
You want hardcore, let's just add r1a1, but infinite horde start to finish
It's certainly adding difficulty
marsh vapor
like in overwatch you can fix Widowmakers scoped sensitivity to match your regular sensitivity
real flame
But the groups of 4 are finding ways to deal with how it's added?
distant ice
Christ
Okay my patience and English only goes so far in trying to explain myself to you
Have a nice night
shell galleon
Yeah, EchoFive summed it up rather well. It is indeed a stealth horror game, yet this rundown feels a lot more run'n'gun & a lot more waves on waves on waves. Easy way to make it more difficult. I think that's what he's saying.
tribal ether
has I see it, you say the problem is that one can just run around all the time, and still win, right?
distant ice
No I'm saying what echofive and cosmictale are saying
buoyant socket
If you're good ar kiting I think. To a certain point
tribal ether
Then what would you have add to it?
real flame
Why are you defining it as such without mentioning action? Which 10CC clearly states the game is? A 4-player hardcore action horror FPS.
shell galleon
You've kinda hammered that point in several times now, Swooty. That's not the topic in mention.
You've clearly got your own opinions on that matters, & that's fine. Don't critique Storm here so harshly for having his own.

Is the topic not infinite waves mentioned by echofive in gtfo-chat? Yes?

How do I know which scan doors are going to do the alarm thing?
sturdy dew
it will say when you are looking at them that there is an alarm detected
when there is no alarm there wll be no red text
ocean moth
Ok, and the sleepers, can you sneak up to them? Do you have to wait until they lie on the floor?
thorny current
you can sneak up to them while crouching
they are not allowed to shine though
or clicking
If you hear a pumping sound you have to stop mining
or they are annoyed
ocean moth
Can the monster with the weird potato tentacles detect movement or is it only through the tentacles?
thorny current
The Scout can hear you walking, but instead of screaming she puts out the tentacles.

how do you determine which door should get seafoamed?
craggy pier
whichever you dont want to defend from for me
ocean moth
XD
craggy pier
so like
if there's a big open door
versus a door up a flight of stairs
foam big door
leave the stair one open
so they funnel thru the death tunnel
craggy pier
well
make sure to use turrets on the seafoamed door
or else, it was unnecessary to use a c-foam grenade/launcher
but make sure to not point the turret directly against the door
or it will shoot away the C-Foam too while shooting the zombies
that pfp though lol

What's the best way to deal with a room of them? Melee, oneshotting their head for some reason doesn't work anymore since rundown 2, used to be pretty decent at it but can't do it once now

Make sure you spend the time to get as many fog repellors as you can from 605
first off
|| then, there are two good sentry placements in the fog in 605F for the 606 alarm door, hard to explain without showing you in-game, but there are two sides of a crate, so only two "entrances"||
then, don't ever do the ||alarms for 611 and 613, not worth it imo||

I mean how do i save time on this piece of crap
full sundial
and based on health amounts after the 606 alarm, choose someone to be fog boy

not exactly sure yet, Sushiloid, but it seems to be community completions of the other expeditions

Well for 1 we had to debug somebody from the group took 30 mins didnt count that in
full sundial
7 hours for one attempt?
craggy pier
Yes
full sundial
What caused you guys to take that much time on one attempt?
craggy pier
Well i mean the map is large we had to clear much of the zones
Everthing besides 12 13
full sundial
yes, but that doesn't take 7 hours
craggy pier
Planning took around half an hour
We visited zones multiple times
To get as much stuff out as possible
Tryed to stealth all the stuff
full sundial
you don't always have to stealth things
but it is best to if you can
without getting infected
craggy pier
Yeah but on that map for sure
We havent gotten infected till zone 608
In the tunnels
We cleared most of 11 for the cell
Went to 14 for stuff
Searched for even more sfuff
And tbh the worst part of d1 is its size
@full sundial anyway to speed up stuff like getting the cells ?
If I can interject myself rudely into this convo I reckon that you get both cells from zones 612 and 610
Their rooms are filled with enemies mostly giants but if you can survive with minimal damage to health that isn’t really a problem
My best bet to speed those rooms up is to check how many enemies you got aggro them and wait for em to get out of the fog
Kite them if you must but don’t be afraid to spend a few bullets if need be
Stealth in those zones just wastes time due to the ||pods|| incapacitating you because of the fog making your health go down to a whopping 2 %
We got cells from 11 14 7 8 and 10
@craggy pier
But still thanks got to know that those rooms are mostly giants
*good
pastel badger
is there a way to see your ping
craggy pier
Hm how many motion triggered rooms did you go through to get cells pimp
Cause there’s only two in the map
1 motion door 610
@craggy pier
Lucky we went through both of em
Well just use my advice if in you need to head to either of em

@bright elm They spawn in any area two away, the specific area is random.
They can come from two at once if the first one meets a mob cap, which means they spawn in a secondary location.

candid furnace
Can you say in anyways? my friend plays cod
craggy pier
Basically just run around and try keep the distance from the sleepers if you hear one about to attack either zig zag or jump or both and 90% it should dodge the attack
Ranger sleepers however is your bane when kiting as their shot homes in on you and of hits you and a sleeper hits you your runs finished
So mark them as your primary target when kiting
candid furnace
So you kill the ranged while kiting?
craggy pier
If you can yes
Just keep running and dodge mark down the ranger’s position, charge up your hammer and whack its head
Should go down without a hitch

So how would this work for b1?
Would you run to the other rooms while the other people get the scans?
dusty night
Does anyone have a map of R2C2?
magic sierra
anyone can guide me for r2b1?
like how to position the sentry on the last door before completing the mission
full sundial
or you could use the tools the game gives you to hold them back instead of kiting them around
pretty simple to do
then kill the ones that survive your sentry's or defenses
dusty night
@craggy pier yeah I would appreciate that! My group right now is trying to complete C2 but we keep forgetting which zone is which XD
pliant lantern
anyone have any tips for the major security check on sacrifice?
tawdry leaf
Hold the door with two dudes while the other two run and do the scans
721 is easiest to hold
minor fractal
@fading tangle I think the ||scout in 206|| is actually in ||206B||, so it's technically not tied to the motion door, it's just alerted if you're very loud. If it's in ||206A||, it's either a bug or a very very mean feature.
cosmic lodge
so, how does D2 and E1 work, I've been playing through the game with some friends and they say that D2 is unlocked by completing D1, is this true?
minor fractal
No.
It's tied to some sort of community achievement. It seems that a certain number of people need to beat the rundown that's available, or perhaps beat the A, B, and C tiers but not D1.

@minor fractal The scout can and will walk right up to the ||blood door and get activated||, I have video proof of it happening on one of my squads attempts
vital sierra
how about the logs thing
minor fractal
Oh, well that's definitely not just an open area.
@jagged basin Had it happen on ||207|| yet?
cosmic lodge
ah, thanks for the info
jagged basin
Let me check
No it was ||206|| we've never gotten a terminal in ||207||
10+ attempts so not sure if it can even spawn there
minor fractal
Had it multiple times
The only branch I haven't seen yet is in B2 ||168, I always get 169.||
full sundial
Yeah, we hoped that thing with the scout was the case, Ray, activated the door, ran away to another zone, but right as the scream before the motion door opens plays, the scout woke up
This was a run of C1 I did with some guys yesterday
maiden cypress
for me, every single time that I've opened the door, the scout automatically goes off

not yet ^^

Does anyone have a list of all the generator locations in R2B2?

Use the terminals

Does anyone know now with the added "On Screen Liquid System" If we will get the ability to wipe our visor? Similar to the mechanic in the Metro series.

(If question was already asked, my apologies) So the ability to unlock D2/E1 are based on unique or total clears of D1?
distant ice
Unique but not sure if only d1 counts
final swallow
whats a good loadout for a squad tool wise
tribal ether
Depends on the mission
final swallow
for the sacrifice one
tribal ether
Oh, B1
final swallow
is there a set strat for that 9x door or whatever its called? we got to that point but hadnt expected the alarm to be that long
final swallow
thatd be badass
final swallow
we just beat the first area last night,these second floor areas are insane lol
tribal ether
Just wait for C then
final swallow
oh no
cold pewter
yeah b1 is pretty straight foward
two mines on both suicide doors and save sentries as much as possible
tepid void
are invisible guys supose to do 10 damage or 30 per hit?
craggy pier
for b1, running 3 shotgun sentries and a c foam has let us consistently win now
if its 720 you can cover the two interior doors /w sentries and cfoam, as well as the main door, otherwise 721 you can just do a death trap in the stairs
if you're struggling id recommend just rushing terminal and restarting if you got key in 720
721 is considerably easier to defend
whole dove
wait so how are D2 and E1 unlocked
ah okay so it's collective effort
any way to track that effort?
fading tangle
there's a percentage listed next to the levels

Ahhh okay hm

Most people do not have a powerful PC, can optimization be expected for the weak?

Haven't had a chance to test. Can you place all your mines then refill and place more or do they de-spawn?
craggy pier
mines do not despawn

does the mine deployer work on the shadows?

||yes||

i need a mine deployer guide
mine always kills just one guy eventho i assume it should kill a decent wave behind those motion doors
like wtf lol

How well does this game work through playing with random people on discord
craggy pier
depends on who and how experienced your team is tho
grand ibex
hey guys, how to win b1
craggy pier
IMO
grand ibex
we aren't able to do it
craggy pier
Good guy @craggy pier
craggy pier
Burst vs assault rifle
thoughts?
@grand ibex honestly, if you are struggling - once you get to the first terminal if the key is in z720 restart, 721 is much easier to handle, you can c-foam the main door with a shotgun turret and use turrets or mines to shield the very long winding path from 721
if you stealth through all rooms and 721 you won't need to worry about the supply room with the scout and alarm
you can use a 2 shotgun turret c foam trap to catch them in the first motion detector door
without using any ammo/health
I always run 3x shotgun turret 1x cfoam and machineguns as they can handle a lot of enemies with controlled bursts and recoil compensation
if you want to do 720, i recommend putting turrets behind both area b and c doors and c foaming, as well as the door you entered
you'll usually end up making it to the last 3 alarm scans, it's not too bad to just survive the last few waves
just remember to open the door asap and run in
minor fractal
Tbh, 720 isn't that bad.
craggy pier
it's not that bad but it's much harder
in comparison to 721 since 721 gives you an extra 10 seconds as they go through the winding path
and the choke is way tighter
i might still be relying on rundown 1 knowledge, not sure if they changed the burst rifle stats or nerfed the shotgun sentry
oh you mean
burst rifle
sorry
lol
craggy pier
for holding doors behind c foam the shotty sentry does better than the burst
i usually had my burst sentries run out of ammo first
when i used hybrid
plus they like to leave lots of booty scooties
full sundial
Well, North, it still has the same amount of ammo, just shoots one round at a time instead of 5 rounds like it did in R1
seems to do the same damage too, but no one knows for sure
I mean, there were things that were changed that aren't in the patch notes
like when you hit a shooter in the back of the head, it keeps the head when it dies, while in R1 it would explode
uncharged hit to the back of the head
minor fractal
Shotgun sentry ammo display was also updated
grand ibex
hey @craggy pier could you give me the guide
full sundial
yeah, we also noticed that the shotgun sentry when viewed by another player while you hold it or it is on your back shows the ammo count like it was in R1
being 5x more
grand ibex
cause we tried so many times but we can't amke it
awesome thanks
you have a guide also for b2?
with how to kill the giants for sure
craggy pier
b2 dont even try killing stuff
full sundial
you don't need to kill most of the giants, just sneak past them
craggy pier
you should kill 0 enemies except for maybe the 4 scouts and the two alarms
full sundial
nah, not 0
full sundial
yeah, some sleepers in the way of the gen in the ||cyst|| zone
and the many sleepers in the other ||cyst|| zone near the end
if you had to, get four people to time their hammers to hit at the same time
preferably one person hits the back of the head, the rest hit the back
grand ibex
so one the back of the head and other all the back so you ignore completely the legs?
full sundial
yeah, no point in hitting the legs as a four man team
just is a more difficult part to hit, same damage
as a duo tho, legs are good to stumble the giant so he doesn't scream to others
craggy pier
it was weird
grand ibex
oh so just hit the back by all standing behind it?
full sundial
yeah
craggy pier
i had two giants at the end of b4 and we instantly killed one and it still got an instant AOE Damage smack on all of us for 40%
grand ibex
oh thought you need to gett all parts
full sundial
also, the one hitting the back of the head should be the one doing the count down
craggy pier
might have been a bug
full sundial
for the strike
craggy pier
but do be careful with giants
full sundial
so they can hit a small bit early
yeah, Sush, that has happened to me, seems to only happen when you hit a giant that is pulsing
craggy pier
ah
full sundial
but it isn't that consistent because sometimes a pulsing giant doesn't react like that
so maybe just a coincidence
ocean moth
Is there a way to tell where the horde is coming from?
full sundial
it happened to me a couple times in R1
ocean moth
Before screaming
ocean moth
In order to setup the doors and everythinog
full sundial
when they spawn, a roar sounds from their spawn location, mclovin
but if you have a biotracker and are near their spawn point, you can see them on it
another way to know is for almost all alarm doors, the enemies spawn two areas away
ocean moth
Yea before
full sundial
so your area the alarm is in they can't spawn in
the areas immediately connected to that alarm room they can't spawn in
but any areas connected to those areas they will spawn in
it will choose one of those at random
craggy pier
any idea if they avoid foamed or turreted or closed doors
ocean moth
So in A1 when we are getting room 106, it's best to cover the open security door?
craggy pier
or are they completely random?
full sundial
yes
they will spawn in the three rooms through the doors of 103
that security door
and can come through it
they can also spawn at the extraction area
ocean moth
thank you Ethan
full sundial
happy to help 🙂
they prioritize less doors, Sushi
I don't think the door being c foamed or not changes anything, but only tested that once
and they went for the non-c foamed door, but that was probably becasue it was fastest
the fastest route
craggy pier
my biggest example for this one is that the supply room alarm on b1
full sundial
but sentry's, they ignore those
craggy pier
when i c foam up the closest door to the alarm and had the other door closed
from the start of the level
they avoided the fastest route of c foamed door
minor fractal
@full sundial @craggy pier Pretty sure instant slap occurs if the first hit doesn't stagger it.
craggy pier
and banged down the further un c foamed door
oh
interesting
so first hit must be the head shot
full sundial
oh, makes sense because the insta slap hits happen when someone swung early causing me to miss the back of the head
craggy pier
hit leader should call for charge and hit, and target head himself them
full sundial
and Sushi, idk what doors you're talking about
do you know the zone and area?
of where that happened?
craggy pier
so b1, you clear the first room
then you clear the motion tracker room
then THAT room has an alarm door to the right full of supplies
full sundial
then the loot zone alarm?
craggy pier
yeah
full sundial
yeah
full sundial
they can spawn in the big room that has two motion doors or the zone you just came from
craggy pier
and dont c foam but close the further door across the room
minor fractal
Usually I have enemies go to both, but since the other one tends to break first they go to that one.
full sundial
they go to both sides, Sushi
full sundial
so unless you are saying they didn't go to the c foam one at all
it is normal behavior if they split
craggy pier
gotcha
and then once the closed non c foamed door broke down
they all redirected
makes sense
full sundial
yeah
ocean moth
How hard is the extraction horde?
craggy pier
@ocean moth depends on the level, A is the easiest, D is the hardest for now in the rundown
sage pecan
||ive never attempted the levels that have them but can the wall zits be permanently killed by using lock melters on them
idk if u can even interact with them with the melters but ive seen from other movies/video games that the general idea is to kill it with fire||

@sage pecan ||Don't think it's been attempted, but they are unkillable as of now.||

||Yo box I’ve tried that actually doesn’t work unfortunately||

storm gull
where should you be aiming against giants? ive been told knocking off their head gives them more hp
minor fractal
No, that's a fuckin' lie.
All enemies take double damage in the back
Head varies, but is generally not as great on giants as it is other enemies.
Back of the head is the best place to hit always.

@storm gull https://gtfo.gamepedia.com/Sleepers#Weak_Points UwU
Does someone tested the Revolver and Sniper increased damages on the Scouts ? Do you still need to aim the occiput to kill a scout with the revolver or the face works too now ?
minor fractal
Sniper can kill to the back, now.
minor fractal
@unkempt ridge Also, I'm rebuilding my vocabulary of numbers and letters
Soon my words will be utterly incomprehensible to you.
minor fractal
Oh wait, I saw a video of revolver to the head failing on C1
So the face is still not a kill.
vital sierra
i only shoot them at the occiput to kill
rough harness
any one know if the generator with the caped face in D1 zone 613 do any thing or has a way to unlock it?
vital sierra
they only buff it so it can kill the scout at a longer range?

@rough harness "Caped"?
rough harness
unkempt ridge
Soon my words will be utterly incomprehensible to you.
@minor fractal lmfao
vital sierra
i think is the wrong generator?
minor fractal
It looks like a normal generator to me.
vital sierra
it's look like those prop generator in B2
minor fractal
But apparently it doesn't do anything that anyone has noticed yet.
You can spend a cell if you want.
vital sierra
no
rough harness
ok, just thought it was odd that it had a caped face
vital sierra
you can't i think
minor fractal
I heard other people could?
vital sierra
it already have cell in it?
rough harness
no cell was in it
minor fractal
@rough harness It doesn't look any different?
vital sierra
it has cell in it
rough harness
guess i didnt see a generator in b2 with a caped face
minor fractal
Maybe they changed it before release or something, since Hackett claimed to put cells in them.
@rough harness Wtf do you mean caped!?
What does "caped" mean?
capped?
rough harness
sorry, capped
minor fractal
I'll have to look at the other generators, but didn't think any were capped
can you send a pic of the one in 609 if you can?
That's 613
rough harness
o sorry
minor fractal
Nw, I'll have to look to see if other generators look different since I didn't think there was a difference
rough harness
ok never mind , i dropped back in to b2 and the generator was the same. I don't know why I didn't see them capped in my b2 runs
minor fractal
@rough harness What about the objective generator rather than the extraneous ones?
rough harness
the objective generator has an open face for a cell to be put in
lunar flax
Hey guys does anyone know the best way to kill a scout with sniper?
minor fractal
@lunar flax Don't.

Lol😂😂

Sniper kills to the head or back, though.
Back hitboxes can be finicky, so go for head
lunar flax
Ok when

At any time.

When he pulls the spaghetti 😂
lunar flax
Oh ok
noble sierra
You mean a sentry gun?
reef acorn
the noodle head thingies
noble sierra
You CAN c-foam it, and it's recommended
3 particles (5%) from c-foam launcher is enough to freeze the scout or just use a c-foam grenade.
reef acorn
and we can full melee it right?
noble sierra
Yes
gentle moss
We're in a run right now. It won't alert a hoard if we just cfoam to get by?
noble sierra
It won't
gentle moss
Thank you.
reef acorn
thank you kind sire
noble sierra
It will re-tentacle right after unfreezed, that's what I want to say
gentle moss
Oh, so just get away if we do it to get by.
reef acorn
and it wont re tentacle while frozen?
noble sierra
Nope
gentle moss
I just don't want to risk hitting the tentacles. We're both low ammo duo on R2B2 after the first security door.

it causes it to put its tendrils out, but it won't wake up, even if you sprint around it

Could you place spoiler while asking bout some things?
autumn temple
hey guys just got the game. any advice?
wise thicket
Watch some videos about the game
full sundial
ABCsquid, still some people maybe didn't want to know that at the end of D1 there is a scan
but imo, just get a good defense set up, and all of you do scans while you kill any that make it through your defense
worked for me the two times I completed D1
wise thicket
Alright I'll try that
full sundial
just make sure you set up your sentries and mines if you have them well
cover all three entrances
sharp willow
@wise thicket what does it change if it's at start of round or at the end of round. Spoilers by definition spoils something. Please make it || . ||
vestal osprey
What do you all think is better this rundown combat shotgun or shotgun?
wise thicket
That's a hard question
vestal osprey
It seemed last rundown the regular shotgun was objectively worse
Is it more even now?
minor fractal
Two shots to the back
It got buffs to make it fire faster and everything
Combat is stronger if you're one-tapping
wise thicket
I find the 9 shots a bit weird
full sundial
the pump shotgun is much more viable now
both are on par imo, just depends what you need them for
I still think the sniper is the worst weapon efficiency wise
it has its uses tho
vestal osprey
Ah I see
wise thicket
The only thing sniper is good for is killing team mates in one hit
vestal osprey
Lol
I always found sniper to be useless when you have other methods of killing scouts it feels like a waste of a slot
I was just wondering how the weapons are now
minor fractal
I used sniper in D1 just for some scouts, and then didn't immediately after developing strategies to not use it.
noble sierra
Buffed shotgun is a good pick now
full sundial
yeah, c foam is always a nice option to take out scouts if you can't dry kill scouts
vestal osprey
The party I play with only used pistol combat shotgun we just used mine deployer to kill scouts
And the turret through the wall strat 👀
noble sierra
Mine is not silent anymore
full sundial
burst rifle is pretty good
lapis star
^^^
noble sierra
Burst rifle and machine pistol are fine
wise thicket
I still use the AR and MG
full sundial
or do bursts/hipfire
lapis star
Machine Pistol is apparently a stunlock machine.
full sundial
idk, I think the machine pistol isn't great, SMG does it better
since it can kill faster and stuns too
vestal osprey
That’s what I thought too
full sundial
you can also use SMG at medium range too
vestal osprey
The stagger on the machine pistol seemed good though
full sundial
I use it to headshot shooters sometimes if I have to
noble sierra
Machine pistol has almost zero recoil so someone may like it
vestal osprey
I’m glad there seems to be an argument for why most of the weapons are good though
I was bored seeing everyone I played with pick pistol combat shotgun in rundown one
lapis star
Everything has it's pros/cons. I personally like running the machine pistol with pump action.
Real fun crowd control set up.
and the pump action is nice for when big guys do show up.
vestal osprey
I’m glad the pump got buffed I liked it in rundown one anyway lol
lapis star
I'm kind of a sucker for shotguns, especially pump actions.
noble sierra
Prob all weapons are viable this rundown
lapis star
I feel like a good majority of stuff is good.
