If you can remember the layout and check the map a lot
That's what I'm doing, checking everycorner I see
Every black spot I see
But somehow manage to miss a small detail
I finally undestand now why this game is not meant for soloing
fleet fiber
😅
Most levels progress northly
Idk if “northly” is a word
You probably already know this but only a security door will lead to a new zone
When you enter a new zone just clear all the rooms
Then find the sec door that leads to the zone you need (the number is at the top left of each door)
atomic quarry
Yeah, most maps are pretty linear, but it makes progress a lot easier (and makes it harder to get lost in a map).

I'm having trouble getting my audio balanced correctly. Does anyone have any recommendations for making it easier to hear sleepers without other sound effects drowning out everything?
rain python
I have music at like 25% effects at around 50%
Definitely on the lower side as gtfo is pretty loud on my headset
distant ice
startup and elevator drop
also the C1 thing
honestly annoying how you have to adjust your volume mid-game all the time
or take off the headphones
summer hawk
Thanks. I guess it adds to the difficulty, because the sound of machinery would drown out the sounds of nearby creatures. But, it would still be nice if their sleepers' volumes were included in voices instead of effects.
distant ice
honestly i don't remember ambience getting in the way of hearing sleepers at any time

I think it is something with my headset. I could hear them fine with my previous headset. I had to get a new one, because the old one messed. 🤷♂️

Next question on 'Alarm Doors'. Does following the white lines / standing in the red circles after the initial scan prevent the alarm from going off? Or do you have to fight the hoard? (Yeah, I'm trying to solo some stuff before my friends are available.)
craggy pier
You have to do the scans (team scan and all) before you turn the alarm off
bright saffron
So the alarm will go off, it's a matter of shutting it off ASAP
craggy pier
It's something you learn as you play, though you have to prioritize scans before you do anything else
If you or someone else turns it on yes
fair mauve
The horde will keep spawning until the alarms off. So do the scans asap
bright saffron
I gather that in order to get through the door to reach the Key, it's essentially mandatory to trigger the alarm. (Unless I'm missing an alternate route or a way to hack a door remotely via terminal. Thanks Aeons. I was afraid of that...
craggy pier
You want to find out where the key is in the terminal
bright saffron
Thanks Ricardo. I've been able to do that. But trying the door with the alarm to the sector containing the key has been kicking my solo butt.
Hopefully having some more bait, errr... fellow players will help.
craggy pier
Don't solo unless you want to test stuff out, if you're going for completions that is
bright saffron
I'm still testing things out at this stage.
craggy pier
Have you tried posting in the LFG channels
neon gust

I played Quake for 2 weeks before I realized that the normal perspective of the game is NOT in fact lying on the floor.
I already want the developers to add flame throwers, claymores, and cookies. (You know scientists always have a stash of cookies somewhere...)
neon gust
yeah i dont think that will happen any time soon
bright saffron
And if I can't have cookies, then I'll settle for some Frag grenades. 😉
craggy pier
Explosives and other things that make horde clearing will not be added in to the game
#faq 13) Will there be suppressors (silencers) and/or grenade launchers/RPGs in GTFO?
Not likely. GTFO isn’t about a team of expert monster exterminators equipped with everything they need to get the job done. We want the players to feel vulnerable and outgunned - that’s part of the “horror” element of the game. Weapons that makes it possible to stealth kill from a distance (e.g. suppressors) or kill a whole group of monsters with the push of a button (e.g. grenades) don’t really belong in GTFO.
bright saffron
They've already got laser trip mines.
craggy pier
You either get 1 kill off of mines or half the horde based on where you place it
neon gust
the game its a lot more slow paced than other games
you WANT to use stealth to save ammo/supplies for alarms
bright saffron
Time and placement are also critical with grenades in most FPS I play. As for being out gunned, I suppose the power-lifter from Aliens is right out then... 😉
lilac fulcrum
throwing a grenade could also be interesting. do you have it interact with the surface as if it were flat (more logical in what you expect it to do) or for dirt / rock floors can it change direction if it hits an uneven surface?
neon gust
eehh not so much
craggy pier
Imagine throwing a deployable mine like a frisbee
lilac fulcrum
could a grenade get stuck in the cfoam? would the cfoam impede the blast?
bright saffron
And yes, I get the mood elements of the game. As for grenades, they can make for some truly epic screw-ups. Like yelling 'Frag out' only to have a team mate step in front of you and the grenade lands right in the middle of the group.
craggy pier
That has the same energy as one player unknowingly place themselves infront of your mine in an alarm situation
bright saffron
Ouch.

Can you revive a fallen player during a mission?

keen python
does enemies go always through the open door, if the other doors in a room are closed? my idea is, then you can focus your defense on one entrance
young pagoda
yes, if all doors are closed, they then have a set path that they'll go through, with a small chance of alteration
thorny current
No actually not. There are some certain factors, which prevents them from doing so. For example, when they spawn to close to a closed door they will break it regardless. If the distance from spawn to open door is too large, they will break open the closed door leading to you, esp, when you are too close to those doors, cause of the scans. But this strategy can be used for many situations. But it can bite your butt in some others.
rain python
Depends on the level and spawn locations. The enemies always take the path of least resistance
In b1 you can leave one of the side doors open when doing the side door scans and usually they will funnel through the open door if they spawn far enough away from the door
spark wolf
Actually
Very certain the way enemies pick doors is different when 1 room away compared to multiple rooms away
In most cases, you're gonna be dealing with them 1 room away as that's usually the doors you pay attention to
In that case they'll go for your open door unless, and I'm pretty sure this is the only factor I'm not 100% certain on yet (because it feels rather complicated), there happens to be a door somewhere between your position and their position(?)
This explains why for the alarms in zone 13 on C1, they will (rather often) end up going for a closed door despite a door being open.
If you're doing the alarm leading to zone 20, they will sometimes choose to break the door that's very close to that security door.
Note that this never seems to happen when you're doing the alarm leading to zone 17.
The exact same thing can happen with the small door on the right while doing the alarm for zone 17.
So it very much seems to be based on your position someway.
It's hard to define and fully predict that behaviour
If you're wondering about multiple rooms away behaviour, they don't give a single fuck about your doors anymore as far as I'm aware.
A common rule they go by, which is also reflected when just 1 room away (just that there's more rules in place) is picking the "closest" door.
Basically, the way they pick doors isn't random at all, however there's the weird position based thing which is simply hard to define (but probably not random at all) and there's also the fact that the actual spawn is random, different spawns can lead to different door choices which might make the doors they pick seem random.

Hey guys, I had a question about d1 tactics. My team is struggling with the 2nd alarm door. But not necessarily due to difficulty, but because of a bug. Only 2 people on our team can properly see the scan spots. For the 2 that can't, the scans show up in a literal different positions than what they actually are. Has anyone experienced this? Has anyone found out how to fix it?
We can't complete the scans with 2 people fast enough to fend off the crazy large waves.
We're trying for the 2 that can't see the scans to reinstall and see if that fixes it. If that doesn't fix the issue, we're trying to find ways to beat the bug. First tactic we're trying is to get enemies to reliably run through the north side door instead of the door under the scan door to the south. I feel it's easier to defend that door, as the scans don't go up that way typically, so we can keep our distance.
Is there a way to get them to always come from that door?
hard wasp
The scan desync is a known bug, try switching hosts and it might help.
If you want them to path a certain way, just keep that door open. They will take the path of least resistance, so they will prioritize open/broken doors over closed ones.
spark wolf
least resistance is misleading
it suggests that enemies would care about c-foam or no c-foam, sentries or no sentries, mines or no mines
as all of that could easily be considered "resistance"
while in reality none of that matters
When 1 room away they generally (1 exception depending on positioning) care about door state. There's only 2 door states, open (=broken) and closed (=c-foamed)
keen solar
If you open one of the doors, you will lead them to go through that specific door. (I normally use the small door for 2nd alarm door in D1 because it creates a smaller chokepoint)
craggy pier
So basically "path of least resistance" means whether doors are opened/unopened?
hard wasp
yeah but i clarified it
so they will prioritize open/broken doors over closed ones.
vital sierra
is rundown 3 have some sound bug?
like not alerting sleepers at all
especially mines and sentries
pliant herald
I haven't encountered anything like that in any of my runs
Has your game been running for a while?
vital sierra
no
like in A1
254A i think
i left some sleeper alive because i just want to skip them and deal with them while doing 255 alarm
pliant herald
Were they fairly distant from your mines or sentries?
vital sierra
nope
i put mine behind the door
so when they break the door, it'll blow up
and will alert the sleeper
but the thing is
pliant herald
As far as I recall, mines are little buggy in R3 and don't function 100% as intended
vital sierra
they don't even alert after the explosion
or the sound range are buggy in R3
like how you can wake up only a single sleeper in a room full of sleeper with sentry

I don't know, I haven't had any issues with the sound in the game as of yet

You have to put the objective in I.E Neonate HSU then you have to take it back to the extract

that is wat im saying
once im at extract
do u have to stand on the circle

so u can drop the objective in the circle and all players can jst shoot to defend correct?

u can drop the obj and just stand on the circle to shoot

lilac fulcrum
If you need the objective in the scan like the neonate at the end, then more people won't make it faster. otherwise the scans will go quicker with more people. to contrary belief the hacking tool does not make it go quicker

well yeah kicking is basic stuff
for the skill-based i get what you mean
at the same time i think "intention choosing" is a good idea to implement
looking to learn, looking to teach, looking for newbies, looking to clear, just having fun
things like that
but too many ideas and the playerbase gets split too much
swift reef
Maybe a rank system would work for each rundown. Rank 0 didn’t finish A-tier, Rank 1 A-tier cleared, and so on.
weary relic

wispy plume
What if you got carried the whole rundown?
atomic quarry
I feel like a ranking system would require a lot of complicated statistics gathering/querying.
It would be awesome to see something like that, though.
swift reef
It could lead to some inbalance though
fair mauve
Ranking in GTFO would be ridiculously hard to get right
Like what exactly would be a good rank and how would you even rate a person
swift reef
people could get to high ranks by being carried or carrying people
plus new people come with new rundowns
restive reef
A ranking system in this game is dumb
minor fractal
Any ranking system is only going to be meaningful amongst the community (which tiers can you beat consistently?)
And it's more of a status symbol than something that would be useful for LFG.
restive reef
Plus there would always be the “lfg tier blah blah plus only”
shrewd dirge
so, technically, how does intimidation work, do you need a gun out?
distant ice
never found it to be a consistent (and therefore, usable) mechanic
weary relic
for R3 it is too inconsistent
In R2 it was insanely overpowered in conjunction used in very specific spots
spark wolf
It depends on where you use it. It's still very consistent in the right place.
vital sierra
what's intimidation anyway
all i see it's 2 type of striker
- Aggressive (Naruto run at you)
2.Passive ( jump around like monke)
pliant herald
It's when the enemies stop running at you while you have a flashlight on and shining at them
As far as I remember somebody explaining it anyways
vital sierra
i know about that
but it's certain that how it works?
and it isn't just their path got screw?
like Wesley said
it's consistent in the right place
pliant herald
No clue, I usually see a couple jump to the side when I turn my light towards them
But it doesn't matter in a full crowd
distant ice
Yeah i got no clear explanation from those who say they use it
And it's mostly based on their R2 experiences anyway
Could be an intended change for them to just ignore "intimidation"
thorny current
Intimidation does not work with a full crowd. Actually smart system. The AI for strikers and shooters even big strikers to a certain degree is checking how many sleepers are with them in their surrounding. If there are alot around them they charge at you regardless. A behavior commonly seen during reactor waves, cause they are pretty dense most of the time.
It works when the enemy density is diluted. If you have something like 5 enemies running behind/at you and you start aiming at them they start to disperse making it harder for you to hit. Of course, there can be this one guy charging at you regardless. Simply depends how the ai tree selects their action. It is consistent for me. Chargers and shadows dont care though. For me it helps directly aiming (m2) at them, but I have no verification if it really helps. Just feels like it.
I use this mechanic alot for my own gain during long range kiting to artificially lump the enemies together, when I am about to run through them again. Even shooting at the charging one, can give you valuable seconds, cause he starts to get imitated
spark wolf
still works on a big group

@errant river As long as the room is open and the scout retracts tentacles, it should fix itself.
On normal sleepers it can't really be fixed, just treat them as normal dots.

I think I've seen sleeper red dots get fixed before but maybe I'm remembering wrong
distant ice
Do weapons just stop doing damage at some range or is there some minimum damage cap
young pagoda
seems like it. I've used bulpup on D1 on the first alarm door, and when the sleepers break the far door, I start shooting a round or two to try and stall the sleepers. never seemed to work though, as I didn't even get a damage indicator
so depending on the weapon, they have different ranges that bullets can travel
ionic nexus
Bullpup should reach that far... maybe your aim was off
lilac fulcrum

Does anyone know if I get the completion if I complete a level that I haven't yet unlocked? For example, say I've only completed A1 and A2, If I complete B1 in a lobby hosted by someone else, do I get to keep that completion? And a second question, If I end up completing both B1 and B2, do I have access to C1 (In other words can I host C1?).
gilded jolt
You do keep that B1 completion but you have to have A3 done to host C1 I think
craggy pier
You can't host C levels if you haven't unlocked all the previous levels like A3 or B2
lilac fulcrum
i think actually you might be able to host anything you've completed, but not advised to skip levels
as you skip opportunities to learn skills
craggy pier
If you complete B1 and 2 while still not completing A3 doesn't unlock both B and C right?
weary relic
You cannot host after beating it, @ doc
young pagoda
not so sure doc. if my memory serves me correct, I didn't complete an A level and Beat b1 and couldn't host until I completed A tier
weary relic
But just beat everything in order, it ramps up difficulty later on and it’s very hard to play the later levels if you don’t have the basic skills
lilac fulcrum
yeah i've not skipped levels and during our bug hunting we usually have everything unlocked so not really tried
craggy pier
I see, at least the confusion's been cleared

didn't really matter in my case, I had the basic skills, it's just that the dudes I was playing with were playing B1 and I didn't care to complete the A level

frank acorn
I’m new to this game and wondering what are the boundaries for not waking the sleepers? How close can I be to them? Can I run? Shoot? Melee?
craggy pier
Melee is the way to go in most situations, if you're stealthily meleeing sleepers you'll see your reticle shrink when you're in range to hammer the sleeper
Always crouch when you're in a new room and don't know if it's clear of sleepers
fleet fiber
Don’t get too close to them. If you bump into them they instantly alert and someone nearby could alert too

Well, most rundowns are going to be a lot longer in general since they take time to complete.

They would like to have rundowns be released quicker once they get used to the process of making them
Not like taking one day to make them fast but quicker than it currently is

?t roadmap
uneven gulchBOT
You can view the roadmap here: https://gtfothegame.com/roadmap
cerulean cape
Talking about the roadmap, what does "Expeditions with layered difficulty" means exactly ?
Same question with "Backend updates for future features"
thorny current
"Expeditions with layered difficulty" are a feature which make the levels harder. So that experienced players can have a challenge. I would say similar to difficulty settings.
"Backend updates for future features" are system mechanics, which are implemented like features for the matchmaking system.
cerulean cape
Talking about difficulty, I remind of devs on Twitch saying they would not just add a specific feature that would turn on or off a new layout of difficulty. How would it specifically affect the gameplay ? If you have the intel.
And about backend, is it gonna impact our current experience with hosts related issues, like scans or waves not spawning during alarms for exmeple ? Or is this only a thing for future contents ?
hot jolt
By "Expeditions with layered difficulty", do you mean that if my friend with <1 hours of game, will find less monsters/have better items compared to me with 55+ hours with some finished maps?
I mean, ignoring my experience in the game, me joining a match will make it the level harder in general compared to a buddy new to the game?
ionic nexus
Doc was talking about it
In general chat once
Idk what was said so I can’t talk about it
But have fun finding his logs

Did he actually talk about it or did he vaguely describe it

@cerulean cape @hot jolt The information I gave is more or less the stuff, which is known to the public. I cannot give you more than this. I am bound to a NDA. I cannot tell more ;)
I do not know how or if backend stuff will influence the game. I just know that it has something to do with Matchmaking and stuff.
do you mean that if my friend with <1 hours of game, will find less monsters/have better items
No, the main difficulty will not be easier. It stays the same. It is just gonna be harder. How it will happen, I cannot tell. Will be a surprise 😋
hot jolt
cool
cerulean cape
oh my dayum
Imo Ludvik leaks should also include your comments about incoming features, to tease us you know

The description we have of layered difficulty suggests player decisions in-expedition decide how difficult it is.
So it sounds like there will be zones that have difficulty spikes but are optional, but we'll see.
cerulean cape
Shall thou say what comes next, blessed Rayalot !

can you go back to previous rundowns or not?
hard wasp
?t old rundowns
uneven gulchBOT
When a new Rundown is release, the old ones are removed. Here is why:
- System limitations Expeditions are made up of rooms that are put together to make a zone. As they make a new Rundown, there can be system changes that cause how rooms fit together to break things, which means they need to go through and fix those bugs. Things like enemies that lose their AI pathfinding, etc. See point 3 as well.
- It would divide the playerbase Instead of everyone focusing on the current Rundown, people would be split between multiple of them, making it harder for LFG groups. You can see an example from Bungie with this exact scenario: http://redd.it/5zq8d0
- The dev team is small They are 9 people and having to maintain older Rundowns would take a lot of time and effort to do. Instead of allowing them to focus on the current + next Rundown, you're forcing them to have to apply bug fixes, weapon balancing, adding new features to older Rundowns.
- Because of system upgrades old maps get unbalanced and broken I touched on this in the prior points, but the devs can't guarantee things will stay working for past Rundowns when they do updates for new ones, which means if they have older Rundowns available, the community will expect them to provide support for it, which isn't feasible.
- New fresh content The steam store page makes it clear this is how the game & Rundown system works. New content replaces old content, it keeps it fresh, gives you new features, enemies, weapons, challenges, etc. While older content may be removed, you are getting new content for free. The devs will never charge you for new content, there are no micro transactions, there are no loot boxes, there are no DLC's. You paid for the game, everything else you are getting is for free.
- Why not just make it available via the "Betas" tab Same thing as point 2. It would still cause the playerbase to be split too much.
craggy pier
We recommend testing all the guns out and see what you like
For tools usually 1 foam and mines and 2 sentries (both shotty and burst are good)

depends on playstyle and the level imo

200ish hours into the game, went afk on a duo. Mr Scout decided to crabwalk in my "safe" area. I'm never disapointed with this game ❤️
minor fractal
There was a video of the scout walking out of 13H into 13D through the north-most door.
Extremely surprising.
craggy pier
This is known by the devs I believe.
minor fractal
They're getting smarter.
spark wolf
Scouts seem to path to other sleepers (within the same room), what's probably causing this bug is that the shortest path to said sleeper happens to be by moving through another room
Which is very possible for 13H and 13D because of the elevated section
neon gust
i belive its only exclusive to c1
spark wolf
I am very certain it isn't.
neon gust
ive never seen that happend in anyother level
spark wolf
The layout in C1 just happens to be perfect for the situation where this happens
It's rather rare to find something similar in other expeditions
and the places where it would happen, there's not enough scouts
neon gust
it happens when theres only 2 scouts
never heard people said when theres only 1
probably a bugged tile
spark wolf
No, there's already been videos of the same thing happening between A & B in zone 11
And again, the situation I described applies there too.
Due to the weird layout with the staircase causing a very long path within the same room, it's "faster" for the scout to travel through the other room
(Yes it's C1 again but still, that's probably not the reason why it happens)
I've took my time to investigate this btw
I'm fairly certain you could get it on the current B2
In that zone that's connected to the birther room
the issue is that you need:
- an actual scout to spawn in the right room
- enemies to spawn at the right spots (close to doors)
(Note how rare this bug is even for C1 zone 13 which provides the perfect opportunity for it to happen)
tight stirrup
so did the devs give up making a stealth game and are going fps

R3A2 now has a Rapid Shooter that I haven't seen before, but by chance? Or are there any conditions?
swift reef
Does it have a spiked head?
I think you’re referring to the hybrid which is a different enemy type. In A2 I’ve seen them spawn after every blood door
craggy pier
Since R2B2 Hybrids have been a staple enemy for bloody doors

Not completely true
R3A2 has two hybrids spawn per blood door, that is A2’s only spawn rule for them

So I've been solo stealthing C1 as of recent and has anyone else experience the weird sleeper behaviour where if you wake a sleeper via bashing another sleepers head in right next to it that once that if you manage to bash in the awoken sleepers head in right next to another sleeper thats still in snooze time it doesnt manage to wake up?
weary relic
That’s normal yeah
swift reef
Are you talking about double killing?
craggy pier
Well yeah but like say for instance you've got 3 sleepers in a room
2 are set to close to each other meaning youll need to double kill but the third is at just the right distance to not wake up
swift reef
Your body can block a sleepers sightlines
weary relic
It shouldn’t unless you screw up the light sync
12.5m and glowing it will aggro up to 2 others
Meaning one within 12.5 and one within the 4-5m melee aggro
craggy pier
At least I aint the only one noticing this pattern
Kidn hope they at least patch in something to spice this up and make sync killing more viable
craggy pier
Yea team sync
swift reef
Some enemies spawn in groups of 4
weary relic
In which that’s just eh for high skill players
Usually just self coordinated and they bypass the team sync anyways
Ex. Killing giants by themselves stealthy
minor fractal
Awake enemies don't count towards waking their allies when they take damage or die.
If you already wake up one or more sleepers, that also means enemies further away that are glowing cannot trigger.
fleet fiber
Cannot trigger on their death^*
minor fractal
No, I mean cannot trigger
If you get a double or triple kill due to proximity, first kill will not propagate to enemies further away for any reason.
(Although you still want to sync oftentimes since enemies nearby can constrict movement).
silent sigil
So each rundown brings new maps and takes away old ones?
And each map within a rundown remains static?
So A1 will always have the same layout within its rundown regardless of how many times you run it?

And how hard is it to get into the game if you don't have a group to play with?

swift plover
holy damn may anyone please provide me some tips for how to clear the first area in A2 solo, as well as WHEN the best time to clear it is? I find myself dying to it or losing too many resources to it later in the runs, and to me it's really the only hard part of A2 solo
fair mauve
I do it if I find the ammo pack in the room. Or you can alternatively find 3 cells and then go back to it and clear after lowering the fog
Weapons like pump shotgun you can full charge hammer the occiput of a giant and then 1 shot them in the back with pump for a quick kill. Just depends on what you like
But in A2 the only hard part is really the first room. Everything else is just easy
swift plover
i see i see, i'm running pump, smg, and mines and i just got an ammo and cleared the first room, it's annoying but hopefully i can beat it this run. thanks!
minor fractal
Doing it first is usually recommended since it's more likely you'll die but you're only spending like 5 minutes at most to attempt it (usually less).
fair mauve
If you find like Cfoam nades you can stealth melee the giants and what not. But eh maybe 3 or 4 minutes to clear the room at the start isn't the worst
swift plover
if not this run, i'll make it a note to just clear this room first from now on then
yeah i never really use the c-foam nades in this level but maybe if i'm low on mines OR for the extraction

You should have enough mines for extraction where you shouldn't see the enemies until like 70% ish
Cfoam nades are useful. Cfoam a giant full charge occiput, back, and then 1 full charge anywhere will kill
If you want to like thin out the giant room a bit
But just take your time really. A2 is pretty chill, you'll get the solo soon enough

is the never ending alarm the hardest part of d1
or are there more that i should know
craggy pier
It's the most annoying half of D1
dusky totem
oh
craggy pier
The other half is fine
fluid osprey
Depends on which part of the first half. Is it ||finding the key||, ||the alarm||, or ||mother||?
dusky totem
i havent even gotten to the mother yet lmao
the closest i got was getting the key and opening the other door
and i died there
craggy pier
You just have to do it quickly yet thorough enough to not be out of resources
dusky totem
😢
fluid osprey
Blood door?
dusky totem
yeah
fluid osprey
What tools does your team have?
and does your team lose a lot of resources look for the key?
dusky totem
one of each
and we mostly die trying to look for the key
by the time we get out with the key we each have 20 hp with nothing else
damn i wonder how much harder e1 was
if i cant even do c1 properly
fluid osprey
🤔 Try to have 1 person guard the entrance of the zone you're entering for the key. He wants either a shotgun or a sniper rifle and needs to quickly melee the small strikers. Once the big striker is in range, he will need to gun down the big striker with the shotgun.
As for the rest, you want to speed melee your way through the level as a group of 3 since your not able to pair up. Try to use your guns as least as possible since a room alert means you'll need to back out of the zone and shoot the enemies as they come out because fighting in dark zones isn't a wise idea when they can flank you without you noticing.
R3D1 is nowhere as close to difficult as R2E1 😂
dusky totem
i heard e1 also had that never ending alarm
but towards the end and through like 3 rooms
a2 best level 😎

Ye, in E1, you had to do 2 surge alarms during that endless alarm which pretty much had spawn cap enemies until all 3 team scans per surge alarm was done else it was a complete team wipe. Even if 1 person died, it was a wipe.
That's for Zones 595, 594, and 593.
dusky totem
what about the rooms before that
fluid osprey
Hard but it was still doable for veteran players. 601 had no enemies but 599 and 600 both had fog with 599 having a surge scan while 600 being a normal scan that had hybrids apart of its spawn pool.
But the level gave too much resources

fluid osprey
It was going to be under 40mins till I downed in Zone 593
dusky totem

weary relic
Yeah most of the solo E1’s took about three hrs
Then the speed runs were just above an hour
