and someone who can teach you how to do the terminals
sleek solstice
There's a helpful terminal tips online and in the steam guides. Otherwise, I found it was fun learning how to do the terminals by myself, using the Commands command. 🙂
craggy pier
though it does get complicated for newer players in A3
since that one requires more knowledge on the log and read commands
sleek solstice
Yeah. But practicing before you get to A3 does help. 🙂 Making sure to use the terminals for the objectives in A1 gives some practice.
craggy pier
yea

Does anyone know if having the settings higher for Render queue frames and CPU culling workload help improve fps? 
distant ice
Idk but it fucks my aiming completely personally so it's been on 0 since the first time i played
atomic quarry
CPU culling just places some of the load on your processor rather than your GPU, so it might help with fps.
shrewd dirge
did they tweak the scouts headbox?
minor fractal
Not that I've noticed, why?
shrewd dirge
was wondering if they made headbonks more reliable or not.
minor fractal
They've always been pretty reliable
Just don't go for the inferior third of the head and you're good.
craggy pier
just go middle of the head when melee-ing scouts

is GTFO worth getting as a solo player? or do you need to play with others?

you can play solo, but it will be hard as solo since the game does not scale with the amount of players
But its very easy to find other new players or vets that want to help newer players in the LFG channels

does hel gun headshot kill scout?

From the back, a hel gun headshot kills a scout.

not headshot from the front?
noble sierra
No, but hel rifle can headshot in the front. And sniper now doesn't need headshot.

I played around with the hel stuff a bit and they seem kind of bad compared to preexisting things (DMR/Sniper). Whats the benifit of using them?

|| we didnt we would of won our first run but accidently triggered a door that we didnt realise was an alarm ||
noble sierra
TL;DR you can use COMMANDS to see if there's an expedition specific command for some terminals.
When reaching the reactor terminal, use REACTOR_STARTUP to start the sequence, during the sequence, you need REACTOR_VERIFY [code] several times. To acquire the code, you use LOGS to list all the log file names and use READ [file-name] to print the file and see the code.

So I have a question, a couple of friends and I are thinking of buying the game, but it slightly bothers us that we cant play the previous rundowns, because they are now forever deleted. Some have said that doesnt matter, but in the announcements for this latest run, it says it reveals more of the storyline clues. Which sounds like the previous runs had some as well? So jumping into a game thats already moved in a timeline would be a bit pants maybe? Just thinking out loud here 😄
placid cobalt
Well what people here tend to do is archive the main bits of lore so if you feel like you're messing out on the story try checking the wiki for any lore, we all are almost just as clueless as you are because we all still have plenty to learn about the complex, you can catch up on it if you wish but if you wanted to experience the lore discovery from previous rundowns, its fine, mainly because no one can as they get removed.

vagrant roost
Do sleepers have more health or defense when alarmed vs sleeping?
distant ice
no
vagrant roost
I figured so but a friend of mine kept trying to say they did
distant ice
rumors are a prevalent thing in this game
vagrant roost
That's for sure
distant ice
just gave myself a dictionary search, where did i even pull that word from
vagrant roost
So what defines when they alert off a stealth kill? We've found that ones near when glowing sometimes won't trigger but farther ones will
Is there like a window while they're glowing or something?
quick cliff
dont move while they glow
distant ice
can't say any facts cuz there may be bugs or rng here and devs don't want it known
vagrant roost
We were thinking possibly rng but that doesn't seem right
and it's triggered on death, nobody moves or does anything else
distant ice
for one, i thought when they wake naturally, going from sleeping-waking-awake, waking is still safe to kill (though)
for two, i thought FoV has some impact, i.e. a sleeper that's facing away may not see you killing one
had cases where both of these didn't apply so i don't know crap anymore
there are two genius ways to kill that seem to always work though, if you're ever in a hard situation
- hammering the ground triggers a sleeper but does not trigger normal aggro mechanics, making it safe to kill the triggered sleeper
vagrant roost
I think it needs to have line of sight (at least usually)
distant ice
- prepare to kill two, one of your choosing and another that is nearest to the one you're killing. Shine your light on the nearest one, kill the first and the second will either wake or nothing will wake
from my tests i thought FoV matters when they wake naturally but definitely not when you shine your light on them
vagrant roost
I haven't heard of the ground I'll try that out, but yeah I can take two always and 3 in some instances
I've had rare cases where I shine my light at their back and they won't start to wake naturally, but 99% of the time it doesn't matter the angle for me
distant ice
ye i know of the case where they don't give a crap about you shining the light on them
changing your position usually helps with that
interestingly enough i've noticed when my friend complains something won't wake to the flashlight, on my screen their flashlight wasn't actually on them
dunno if that's always the case
vagrant roost
the ground pound works well, that's neat
vagrant roost
We had it once where we had 4 people on a big striker, I shined my flashlight on the back nothing happened, everyone could see the light. I started walking circles around him, and nothing would trigger but everyone saw the light on him
I assume that is a bug
distant ice
you can crouch and stand up or time it so he wakes naturally when you wanna bonk
vagrant roost
that's what I had to do
distant ice
you don't need anyone to hit the head to kill him though, back is enough
back does more damage to them actually
vagrant roost
I believe back of the head does more, but you only need one on the head
distant ice
(compared to head from the front)
vagrant roost
aren't those about the same?
distant ice
ah didn't make that in time

lilac fulcrum
it's going to be really difficult. The A tier might be possible, but it's balanced for 4 people
flat rock
It's viable, even as a bad shot you can still melee stuff, but it'll take some time and map understanding to get your clears most likely

Do the spots that look like weak points not add towards a multiplier? Like how the strikers have their ass and the standing ones have their belly?
My group always thought those were crit spots but we never knew
shrewd dirge
syringe ||do we know the damage multiplier yet?||
is hammer damage linear with charge?

Believe so. A half charge seems to do 24 damage, but it would need some testing.
Actually, might not fit, I'll need to check later.

can you body shot a scout with the ||syringe|| and a full melee then?
minor fractal
Yes
shrewd dirge
yes
vagrant roost
I don't know if it's entirely linear, but if it's not it's close
shrewd dirge
so, full damage is 54 for hammer?
minor fractal
No, it's 8 at no charge and 40 at full charge
shrewd dirge
ok thanks, i can do my maths now.

Hey curious does anyone know what the best culling workload setting is?
What exactly does the setting do haha
not sure if it means anything but I have an RTX 2080
atomic quarry
I think it distributes some of the processing load to your CPU rather than your GPU.
craggy pier
ahhhh
gotcha! thanks for that
So it's pretty much heavy load onto your CPU or GPU or spread it across both
atomic quarry
I believe so. The only thing is that I haven't noticed any increased CPU usage with culling set to highest or lowest settings while in-game.
But it probably helps with some intermittent lag spikes.
craggy pier
Weird
If I see Doc lurking in a chat I'll be sure to ask what his opinion on the best setting is
Are the strikers in this rundown being faster intentional?
They removed the slow on taking their heads off
they did that in R2
atomic quarry
I'd recommend using CPU culling only if you have a good processor that can handle it.
atomic quarry
Probably.
craggy pier
Easy
atomic quarry
I don't know what your CPU is.

There are often "titan zones" on some levels which have a very high chance of containing mostly or all titans in each area.
quiet sleet
Not sure if this was answered anywhere, shoot me down if this is the wrong place; In the final release, will rundowns be "permanent"? Quick research says that during early access it's going to be regular wipes, but no comment on release. I.e. will the released game also regularly wipe rundowns, or will there be regular rotations, etc?
Alternatively, will there be "non rundown" levels that are permanent fixtures?
craggy pier
From my knowledge, we will get new Rundowns constantly in rotations. No one has said about permanent Rundowns, although they may do it. As like a small thing to do on the side.
quiet sleet
ah ok. I get the spirit of the rundowns, just curious if there will be a non-rotation mode and didn't see any official comment on a non-rundown
Long story short: nothing confirmed

Greetings everyone!
I hope this is the correct place to ask,

what are the best weapons in this rundown?
dry pivot
I know this was just asked, but I'm trying to play with just one friend (a team of two), and we cannot make it past even a single alarm. we must have tried a dozen times, though only twice this rundown. is this normal, or do we just suck? if the former, is it even possible for non-expert duos to beat an alarm?
distant ice
if you have horrible rng (like 3 fkn scan circles landing on the door) then it does suck
but normally a class 2 alarm (team and 4x) is pretty easy
you probably don't use your tools and weapons well
prisma briar
@dry pivot the game is designed for 4 people, so unless you're pretty experienced already at the game, being undermanned is not recommended.
outer hill
The first 2 levels are doable with two people if you plan out your strategy and manage your resources well. I really do recommend finding more though since it drastically lowers the difficulty.
spark wolf
B1 is also smooth
good chokes everywhere
the levels beyond that will be a bit harder as it seems the extra firepower is really helpful for some of the challenges it throws at you

since im below minspec for RAM haha
lilac fulcrum
them moving faster is unintentional but we are monitoring feedback on opinions on it to see whether people like the change or not.
craggy pier
Back then they were faster than the player when moving in a straight line right?
I like the change, just hate how inconsistent the hits are.
severe notch
I like the change. The difficulty on this rundown was much easier. The faster enemies kept it a bit of a challenge during the firefights and nerfed the sentries ability to lock down an entire route a bit.
Also buffed the scouts a bit since the wave they spawn hits you sooner.
I also like not having to wait for the large strikers to bumble across the entire map now.
craggy pier
yeet
minor fractal
Also buffed the scouts a bit since the wave they spawn hits you sooner.
@severe notch No?
That's entirely dependent on the map, scout waves still spawn in rooms 2 away.
severe notch
I meant simply that the wave would be able to run faster to get to you.
craggy pier
They're still looking for feedback whether to revert their speed or not
minor fractal
I feel like it might be fine just because I don't like kiting.
This makes it possible but harder, and means you have to actually fight, and be good at fighting, the enemies that spawn.
They just need to make the balance favor the use of guns over hammers, which is already the case from what I can tell.
vital sierra
you still can kite
but you need to dodge mid-way
when they attack you from behind

i wouldn't mind as much if i still had my machi-

but it's gonna be very hard for you to find someone play without mic
craggy pier
I do have a mic, the problem lies in understanding others, my hearing devices allow me to hear but not understand especially with the ingame sound
craggy pier
@craggy pier Hearing will be an issue. However, how bad it it?
oh wow already? didn't know
craggy pier
Don't worry about no mic. There's a few good players who don't use mic. People who say you can't play properly without a mic are just staright up stupid. Some god of the community play without mic.
vital sierra
don't use mic
mic is to add up information
if you can write text as fast as you speak
then it's balance things out
craggy pier
yeah i can do that lmao
thanks guys
But how bad is your hearing? That will be an issue with some future enemies.
in terms of what? how well I can hear or understand?
my hearing devices allow me to hear perfectly fine, can hear footsteps
craggy pier
Perfectly fine then.
Hearing is actually a really important component. That's what makes and average kiter into a good reliable kiter from sound alone.
craggy pier
That's what separates good players from average. That's very key that many forgot (What I see).
oh, so something like L4D special infected sounds?
that's good with me then

@high scarab Very friendly but please don't play with "teachers". This game is so much more fun with noobs and other noobs. Best fun you'll get.
craggy pier
^
It do be like that sometimes
Where I know for a fact I'm just carrying them through the level and not letting them experience the game but then I just want to just complete the expedition
Nah, the teachers make me cringe. I've only had a few good expirenceces with them. They talk about shit they don't know. It's fun to mess with them.
I played with someone in R1B1 when he said to find the IDs
I got a reality check that I have more to learn on how to use the terminals
"Place sentry here, it's better"
"Don't use sniper, it's bad. There are better weapons."
"Don't use DMR, only use the good guns otherwise you're throwing."
"Don't kite when you're loud, kill them to be safe from a distance (Legit made me cringe because someone said that to me)"
My favourite one I've got told:
"Don't worry if you get downed, I can carry and get you back up."
Oh boy, I love it when the opposite happens. But I'm only talking about a small part of the community. There are plenty of nice people who love helping new players but they don't actually teach them that much sadly.
This game is about learning from your actions, not words.
That feel when you know where they're gonna spawn and leader says otherwise
"Protect the door there, it's much better. "
The worst part is, you know the perfect placements :(
I've had that happen in R2B4 once where we were doing the disinfect station alarm and I placed the sentry just below the stairs and the guy said to place it where the 2 doors near spawn was
needless to say I was right
they spawned west and we had a sentry thats too close for comfort shooting (I forgot which direction it was but left when facing disinfect alarm)
Yeah, Usaully I just go with the flow. Because I'm actually confirming wether what they are saying are right.
Actually, for me it's strange. I'm now pretty more confident with it. There's this neat trick which makes dodging a guaranteed dodge if you know how to do it. It's hard to use and easy to fuck but I'm try to teach myself up. It was great, I kited 10 sleepers without being hit for a solid 40 seconds. I've been described that I'm "dancing" with a sleeper.
It's a great truck for the CQB kiting.
Really, really fun as well. I'm considering of just considering becoming a full on kiting main now. You know that guy who's always in the back being a lone wolf and not helping players xD
I mean
what is CQB?
Close Quarters Bonks?
Yes xD
And CQBB
CQCB
Close Quarters Combat Bonks
BRUH
Whichever you prefer.
But CQBB is basically Kiting and hitting Bonks in the close range which is the hardest to do than the traditional medium to long range way. Vermillius actual kiting style is CQBB exclusively. He's the living proof that you can get very good at it.
It's fun watching him kite. Like he straight up inspired me to become more and more of a kite main now.
I played with him on an easy yet laggy AF game of R2A1 once
Yes, I was going to play Duo A3 with him probably carrying me but he's game was the most, insane laggiest I've seen.
He was teleporting straight up.
The worst client lag I experienced is when you clearly see your team doing the scans but you can't see those scans
Like, you'll see him teleporting him in one room but then vanish into another room like god.
Yes, they are worst.
Lag warp is the funny type of lag
The most fun I've had in B2 was when we did both 269 and 268 doors at the same time
chaotic AF
I didn't know which scan is for which door
Wowerz
Never happened to me
But Vermillius's lag? 11/10 would play again.
Try doing that in R3B2
craggy pier
I0I
You know what, I'm going to ask to do that with him. That's going to be funny, I'll record it xD
don't forget the discord audio I wanna hear the conversation leading up and during those scans
He doesn't talk, that's what I love about him xD
And you can't hear my voice, my recording software picks it up very poorly. I'll see what I can do thoe.

minor fractal
@wary raptor If you open your game, you'll see those are the expeditions/levels people are playing.

kind whale
Does anyone know a good gun choice for soloing?
minor fractal
"R[no.]" refers to the rundown the expedition is on (so "R3A1" is A1 of rundown 3).
"[letter][no.]" designates a tier with the letter while the number indicates which level on that tier (so "R3A1" is the first level on the A tier).
The tier decides the range of difficulty you can expect from any given expedition. The easiest tier is the A tier, which is mostly introductory levels which provide threats for players but don't demand much in terms of skill. The hardest tier on this rundown is the D tier, which has a very challenging level which demands a fair mastery of the game. @wary raptor
You should take the weapons that best allow you to accomplish your goals solo.
If you need to be able to deal with titans easily, take a lot of damage.
If you need to be able to kill hordes easily, take weapons that are able to do that efficiently.
And, then, make concessions for weapons which are less efficient but easier to use to the extent you can afford the hit on ammo.

Why isn't there a latency/ping counter in the game. I know it's peer to peer but there could be still one right?

But a latency counter would still be preferable

I mean when the enemies lag like gifs I'm not sure its because bad connection or what

With matchmaking probably, but even NOW it wouldn't be a large task. I mean some way or form they had to be monitoring the connections, I mean we had Alpha 1 for literally that purpose only.

@naive hamlet ||Mate for S3A3 you need 4 sentrys Turrets shotguns better one person must carry the sniper(for the scout and giants) In the tunnel when commings the spawns waves you put at wave 2-4 2 turrets on left side up one forward from the sleepers comes up and one on front of the team. All team must stays at stairs left side so all sleepers will come only by one side(left) If anyone of the team comes down of stairs the sleepers gonna come from midle and right sides so stay all on stairs. In security door about security scanns you put 2 turrets up on stairs on front of this door one turret right side and one left side. The door at left you close it and if someone have found a C-Foam from a locker use it to lock the door then run fast and take the scanns when you gonna take the scanns alarms stops so they dont spawn more. Wave 6 you put again at left side 2 turrrets and 2 turrets behind you from the door that goes to generator ( because they gonna spawn from front and back sides is like 2:40 minutes waves 2 of your teammates focus on front and 2 of others focus on back aim well and save as ammo you can.(OBS: Use the refill tools wise).Hf and Gl.||
@naive hamlet Ps:||on the wave 5 you put 3 turrets at left so turrets makes all the work you dont need spend ammo.||

||How does the last wave in A3 work?||
tardy granite
they just spawn randomly
spawns are found to have a 2 room distance from characters/main rooms
swift reef
Is the core room a main room?
tardy granite
yes
and the spawns can choose any 2 rooms from main rooms/character
example if u have a main room 113, and 3 guys in 113 a/b/c respectively
the spawns can happen in all 113/a/b/c
since there are 2 rooms away from any characters
tardy granite
remember the doorway u come through
right at the front with a little slope
just defend there
easiest chokepoints
any spawns that happens at the back u guys can deal with it together
swift reef
Where the bridge is?
tardy granite
nope before the bridge
swift reef
So in z428
tardy granite
erm i suppose so, its the first room from spawn point
cant remember the room number
swift reef
There are 2 doors there to defend
tardy granite
theres only one
sleepers will never go the bottom door
its too far
just defend the top door
and close the bottom door
swift reef
I was always defending at the bridge where the first security door was
tardy granite
up to personal preferrence
its just that chokepoint is alot easier to hold for newer players
since its just a small doorway
swift reef
And it’s much easier to fight in z428 than in 429 or 430
Any loadout recommendations?
tardy granite
erm
well...almost all weapons are op except for pistol
||4x carbines||
l0l
spray and win
swift reef
They’re burst right?
swift reef
We use the ||helrifle for giants||
tardy granite
its a waste
just use ||burstcannon/snipers for it||
speaking in terms of damage per round and ammo count
||helrifle does 40damge to giants, burst cannon does 124 damage to giants, sniper does 96||
u are looking at 5 shot/2shot/2shot respectively to the front
swift reef
||Does burst cannon have damage dropoff?||
tardy granite
erm didnt try it that far away since its a 5 bullet spray. just get all 5 of the bullets to hit ur target and u are good
swift reef
Is it worth using burst sentry?
tardy granite
it is still under performing as compared to shotgun sentry and others
swift reef
Alright, thanks for the advice
tardy granite
goodluck

If you buy early acces, you will have access to the full game on release. That's how EA works.

craggy pier
Yeah, me too. He seems to be good at it lmao
They said a year it will be full access but it's already been 6 months. I don't know how they will get it out of EA in 6 months
If you buy early acces, you will have access to the full game on release. That's how EA works.
WHAT, I DIDN'T KNOW THAT
Yeah...
that's the point. You are supporting the game and funding it, that's why it's popular to start up EA.
I know about EA stuff but I didn't know you get the full game when it releases without buying it

left yacht
Quick question, is there a set amount of enemies for each level?
minor fractal
@left yacht No, there's a random amount of enemies decided per zone. Each zone has a range of areas that are occupied or not, and then the enemy density for those rooms varies by an amount. How many of those enemies are titans also has a range with chances, so some zones might have a very low chance of containing small enemies. Scouts also have a range for each zone and certain areas they can spawn in.

ancient lichen
Am i the only one that gets annoyed by the fact that there are only 2 lab in the whole run down 3 when i thought they'd introduced the theme as Laboratory ?? R3A1 and R3D1 are the only ones that i have seen , the rest are from the previous rundown Dig Site. Not calling out devs for rushing out the rundowns but the current rundown 3 needed more work. Patch was out day one and people have already gone through C1 and D1 like literally that fast, it wasn't as hard as Rundown 2 and i wish every level was almost like D2 and E1 back in r2.
placid cobalt
Devs wanted the level to bee easier than R2
and personally even though i see that
just
hard wasp
^ i think they didn't want to introduce a ton of lab levels and make us sick of them. they'll probably have them in most future rundowns and if every single level was lab we'd be as used to them as we are digsite or refinery levels. they're meant to feel special, different, and more refined than what we've seen before. the theme of r3 isn't lab, moreso the whole vessel part. lab was just the new environment.
placid cobalt
with the seven levels and all of them except but C1 being relatively short kinda makes the rundown as a whole real short
and they Dont wanna throw lots of Lab at us
as with every rundown once they introduced a new subcomplex it had a minority of levels being of that new subcomplex.
R1-6 levels, introduced refinery only three were of the refinery subcomplex, (its only six soo)
orchid cedar
question: How many meters I can break lock with hammer?
when there are sleepers around?
placid cobalt
R2-10 levels, introduced digsite, only 4 were of the digsite subcomplex
so in R3 we kinda had it coming
approximately 10m @orchid cedar
orchid cedar
alright
hard wasp
but you can get away with like 5m if youre lucky
ancient lichen
Got your point that they wanna make it easier but really?
placid cobalt
well they're still trying to configure the correct difficulty with each tier
ancient lichen
imo, i think A levels should be like a guide or tutorials for new joiners or people to try out stuff, starting from B levels and C should be really hard
placid cobalt
and after that to scale the rundown appropriately to the communities experience
well its not as easy as "make it tutorial"
ancient lichen
RunDown 2 before the nerf was the almost good position for the difficulty , just scale down if it is reallly hard
yeap got the point haha
placid cobalt
they need to configure it so that people trying out GTFO the first time dont get stonewalled the second they move onto B-tier
and the less nerfing they gotta do post release the better
and also gotta keep it difficult so that way players will have to adapt constantly
but once player progression and expedition variety gets implemented the better
by variety i mean how many different hazards arrive in an expedition to keep you and your team on their toes
but of course they're slowly introducing it to us so that way we can experience new ones longer while they develop new ones
if thats the development path they're thinking of taking that is
ancient lichen
ahhhh can see your point , i think they are still experimenting with the difficulties too
hard wasp
personally i believe that this rundown feels easy because alot of us are experienced and we didn't really see any new mechanics other than ||the vessel levels||, which even then weren't that different from what we've seen before
placid cobalt
yeah
Nitro sugar daddy also got a point
they probably have lots in reserve to throw at us
just wanted to push out R3 with the limited time they had
so they probably couldnt add much
hard wasp
yeah it's just a balance of quality over quantity
ancient lichen
really hope to see the scanner tool soon as in the trailer hype
hard wasp
we need new stuff to make us stop and think "wtf do we do now" or "how tf does this work"
and more trial-and-error stuff
failing is okay as long as you make progress
this rundown wasnt as much failing
ancient lichen
i am quite happy with the new weapons they have introduced
quite powerful
might be the reason why the rundown feels so easy
plus i think the melee weapons are not just only a display right? probably in the future they will do something with them

So how does the normal Handgun stack up compared to the other primaries?
distant ice
if it had guaranteed stagger on every bodyshot (it's rng now) i'd totally use it
2 hs leave a normal striker with .2 hp and kill a shooter so you'd need a teammate with an auto weapon to finish them off ideally
but it doesn't have the ammo problem of DMR where it's absolutely necessary
unfortunately it's semi-auto so you'd need a panic button secondary
