you can just keep flashing them to keep them small and closed. walk by them, walk out of range

'cause every time they have a vacant consumeable slot, it means I have to this ritual of telling them to dump all 12 of their glow sticks. Individually.

it was pitch dark in this room so i shined my light and 2 big bulbus men were just standing there
theyre so close together 3

it will say something along the lines of "cancel that"
Nah dude, that ain't it.

if i dont kill them will they be at the alarm
grave acorn
If they are in the path of the newly spawned mobs, sure. IIRC.

if i dont kill them will they be at the alarm
if they're more than 2 rooms away, they wont be.

Im curious where to go next
Ive completed Rundowns A1 and B1 in order
which one do I go to next
desert falcon
D1 should still be harder than B2 for example so maybe dont jump through all the story levels first (even though a bunch of ppl did exactly that)
floral pecan
For a good difficulty scaling, yes. Bare in mind all the story levels are a lot easier
keen solar
All the first levelof the Tiers are story focus. So you can focus on that
floral pecan
You can do all the first ones, then backtrack and go floor by floor
keen solar
And they are easier
But that doesn't mean you should ignore the rest of the levels. All levels have specific lore but you have to find it yourself
dry moth
so which node should I go to next?
C1 or B2
you gave me so many options I have been overloaded

C1 probably
full sundial
The main levels, the 1s, all have the matter wave projector experience in them, progressing that

Sometimes I can one shot chargers at the back and they fall over instantly. Sometimes they take one more hit. Is this the back damage bug you guys were talking about?
loud granite
yep.
hitting an enemy from behind always deals double damage, which is enough to kill a charger with melee
but the bug sometimes let u deal less damage than intended
grave acorn
I might change back to knife so I can immediately follow up with a full charge.
loud granite
u dont need another full charge, which weapon are u using?
grave acorn
I was using the spear in that run.
Because I need it as a crutch for my broken, damaged legs.
loud granite
im not sure about spear, but a half charge followup with hammer is enough after a fullcharge to the back
knife is the worst possible choice against chargers
grave acorn
'cause they have no heads and therefore less multiplier?
loud granite
yep.
grave acorn
Amazing. I also noticed you can still kill two sleepers with one spear charge if you line 'em up and they are close. So the pierce is still there, that's nice.
loud granite
and here i thought it was completely bugged out cus i was never able to make it work 
imma just drop down and test it to see

It's a good habbit to have anyhow
loud granite

grave acorn
I only do that if I have to do multi-kills.
About the giants, I noticed unlike the vid I saw, I can't staggerlock it as effectively as the video. Clearly it's a lack of skill but is there some trick to charging faster or is it about spacing?
grave acorn
Yeah, he gets to retaliate.
floral pecan
Distance then
He will not melee you unless you get too close
Assuming you are talking about a spear
loud granite
dont go too far from it, stay exactly outside his melee range so he priorities attacking over sceraming
grave acorn
I am talking about the spear and the ones getting slapped were bots so RIP them I guess.
loud granite
but it will always be rng they scream or not
floral pecan
^
Only way to prevent it is to bait every hit
As that way you make them swing or they are staggered
loud granite
if youve got bots with u, focus on staggering and theyll deal the damage
otherwise, give em bats and u do damage
grave acorn
That is weird too, sometimes I can see them turn red and hear their scream as I kill them and not alert any of them but sometimes they didn't even get to scream and suddenly everybody's nearby are red.
Is that a bug that we have to contend too?

Oh, I guess it can work like that too. Then again, I have done the same and saw them going from glowing to freaking out state instead of fully alerted. Must be something about distance.
Say, is the distance of the sound emanated from me bashing a sleeper, that is being checked by other sleeper originates from the sleeper or from me?
loud granite
that last part im not sure
but they can hear the noise from further away than ur head mounted flashlight or footstep distance, that i know
loud granite

otherwise ...
and the "close enough to wake up eitherway" is around 5m
as a measurement i use, if u can barely fit yourself between them, theyll wake up
if u can easily fit yourself with space to spare, they wont
grave acorn
Neat. Thanks.
floral pecan
@grave acorn it's cause distant agro is a dice roll
Up to like 3m is proximity agro, they just wake up no matter what (aside 1 trick)
Distant agro is up to 12m, only 1 sleeper can wake up, and they need to be glowing
The game trows a dice and chooses if any will wake up
If yes, 1 of them will, given they were glowing AND given no one proximity agrod
They will always distant agro if you wake up a sleeper by movement and kill him
If you want a more in depth explanation, check this guide out
https://youtu.be/rSttsbjSr4c
Otherwise just go with the simple
- near always wake up
- far may if glowing

that still wakes them up
floral pecan
Yea it should
loud granite
ill test anyway
floral pecan
The point to bump into them is to make them wake up 100% compared to a dice roll
It is used with agro exploits to kill sleepers in a cluster without waking others up
Well, agro abusing more than exploits.
loud granite
i just look at it as two different forms of waking up
one where they wake up instantly and attack
and another where they wake up slowly with an animation
floral pecan
Oh no i think you missunderstood me

Step 2 - make sure someone is glowing ...

Any sleeper should always distant agro in this scenario

Sweet. If you do the same thing, but don't bump into the sleeper and just kill him normally, it is a dice roll instead if someone will distant agro or not
Don't ask me why doh cause i don't know
Rayalot pointed it out to me when i was playing around with the knife "quieter" thing
loud granite
dice roll if someone far is glowing?
floral pecan
Yes, up to 12m and given no one proximity agrod
I killed a few sleepers like that with the knife and didn't get any distant agro

Till i bumped into 1
You mean just by killing them normally, without waking them up by movement?

Odd, when i tested it, it wasn's the case. Maybe it's just a knife thing?

ok it seems to be 20+ meters
loud granite
not exactly smth u want on a shotgun

i don't think that'll work with the regular shotgun
loud granite
even the choke cant reach that far
....and damage boosters are overkill on a sniper. the hell are these long range boosters for

can you even see properly far with a sniper because one thing with scopes is that they tend to be like foggy or have scratches visible in light
why is this game so realistic

thin pine
then why even have this condition
loud granite
wonder if it triggers when shooting an enemy that far, or just having one alive that far away

Distance damage reduction? That sounds like the perfect booster in D1.

what i meant by the distance damage reduction is how every gun has a specific effective range and after it the bullets gradually deal less damage

why is the burst rifle considered ass
isn't it just basically the carbine
viscid wolf
you just wouldn't run it over another gun really
it's a burst which is already kind of bad
it has a long reload
and the damage is just kind of mediocre
fallow night
it has a long reload
Does it, or does it just have the AR reload?
viscid wolf
AR - 2.19 // 0.8 pm // 698 rpm // [30/342] // 1.8 reload
Burst Rifle[Burst] - 2.35 // 1.00 pm // 1500 rpm // [30/292] // 2.0 reload
here are the stats of the AR and Burst Rifle
fallow night
ah, I see
viscid wolf
you can see how the stats are kind of lacking
fallow night
carbean is better
viscid wolf
I mean in the end its still quite viable
well you're probably better off running the smg
fallow night
smig
viscid wolf
it has the exact same stats as the smg except it has a 4 round burst

But there’s on that’s called tool ammo too

Pretty neat
viscid wolf
But there’s on that’s called tool ammo too
wat
restive viper
Alright I'll give it a try
weary mesa
Yea that’s why it confusing
It’s funny tho it doesn’t increase your max capacity so if you go over 100% percent and shoot one bullet it goes to 99% or whatever
Iirc
restive viper
"Med eefficiency" increases the amount of meds you receive with every use
weary mesa
Yes
restive viper
So its "efficiency" not "+ special ammo" for example
Which means "tool efficiency" means more for tools
But I haven't seen tool efficiency yet
weary mesa
Supply efficiency works for both tool and ammo unless they’ve changed it
restive viper
Alright
loud granite
Supply efficiency works for both tool and ammo unless they’ve changed it
unchanged
still just supply and med efficiency

Anyone have some tips to run the game better on 8GB of RAM and a 1650 Ti?
My “gaming” laptop isn’t really that good despite the amount of money I spent on it
ruby wasp
there are some settings you can reduce or even remove
gimme a sec
For example :
Graphics :
Texture size : Half
Fog resolution : medium
SSAO : Off
Contact shadow : off
Shadow resolution : medium
Advanced graphics :
Fog diffusion quality : medium
CPU culling workload : small
Max render queue frame : 2
Display :
V-Sync : disabled
Dithering : enabled
@lime raft
You can try that kind of settings

The game is not optimized, best thing you can do is reducing the resolution lol

carrying a friend through earlier levels with 2 bots and one just started firing at a giant I melee'd even tho there are other enemies pretty close nearby
is that normal bot behavior?
ruby wasp
Yes
because the bot notices you didn't kill the giant in a single hit
which naturally isn't possible except with a yellow syringe
So he thinks everything triggered & then start shooting
loud granite
but their shots dont wake enemies up, im pretty sure anyway
ruby wasp
Yeah i've noticed that as well
What's even weirder however is that it happened to me once
like i once wanted to trigger a room but none of them reacted to my shots
a friend of mine shot once & everything triggered

You get one reward for completing each of the challenges in the 'Prisoner Apparel Requisition' list shown below. Rewards are selected from various pools. Additional reward chances will be available with future content drops (e.g., New Rundown releases)
stoic breach
so like i am brand new to the game (got it yesterday and only done a few matches...
When it comes to best set up it's pretty level dependent. However, this game is more about leveraging your own ability to use the weapons and tools well.
There is probably some "best setup", but what is most important is what you can use best. Just try everything 🙂
rigid sinew
It's more of a skill issue based game rather than a meta based game
devout nest
oh ok and that leads me to my next (and hopfully final) question. i noticed someone earlier mentioned that they were playing with bots. which i generally prefer because actual players in most games (from what ive seen) dont respond well to people like me that use text chat. my question is how exactly do you set the bots up?
rigid sinew
before dropping into a mission you have to open the slots for bots and choose their loadout
this can only be done as host
devout nest
oh ok so i just have to host my own game
rigid sinew
yep
devout nest
and as a hosted game if i were to complete an expedition (which seems to be impossible for me) then would it still count towards game progress?
stoic breach
play more
devout nest
yeah ive come to find im total garbage at the game which is why i been tryna play so much to get a better feel for it all

That's a-ok.

I won't help because I don't got the patience to teach sorry 😦

all games are about mechanics. if you cant use the game mechanics properly then you wont have the abilities to gain the knowledge needed to make the game easier for yourself

alrighty avoid the slide then
stoic breach
Well... you can slide-reload cancel to avoid the slowdown when reloading. js.
The same for putting down mines.
mossy aurora
Someone who can only shoot well is probably going to be worse than someone who knows the level, knows the game, but shoots worse is the point I'm getting at
stoic breach
So, it's not inherrently useless. It's just not as OP as it was.

while it doesnt increase speed it kind of does now in a roundabout way, it reduces the rate of losing stamina

yeah, though might as well kill them instead
devout nest
welp time to go test my new knowledge
tropic ferry
true but for things like ||error alarms|| that really isnt a viable option

rigid sinew
kiting or stamina cancelling is less convenient than killing or using a more 'normal' strategy
though it still has its uses

Sectors are a mechanic which adds optional objectives to the game, ranging from altering the game state to adding other objectives. The following sectors are available:

I have 2 questions, 1. how do I kill scouts without pulling my hair out? 2. Are auto weapons still meh compared to burst weapons? I saw burst shotgun and sentry got tad nerfed
steel valley
- hammer/spear to face. full charge, don't miss
- burst weapons are about equal or maybe slightly worse than auto weapons. burst sentry is still good though
also if by burst shotgun you mean scattergun it never really was a burst weapon at all, but it did get a considerable nerf
grave acorn
I have 2 questions, 1. how do I kill scouts without pulling my hair out? 2. Are ...
If you that suck at approaching scouts without them yelling for help. You could always just straight up snipe them from a room over.
loud granite
how are burst weapons worse than auto
steel valley
awkward ammo economy that seems good in theory but results in lots of wastage in practice
grave acorn
Muh 1 bullet inefficiency.
loud granite
carbine and burst rifle have double the range and firerate of the smg and ar
grave acorn
But what if I only needed 2 bullets to kill something? That's 1 bullet wasted.
steel valley
teammates existing means that you can minimize wasting bullets on teamshots with autos but burst weapons force you to commit
grave acorn
But really though, bursts are pretty good all-rounder. More accurate too because it means 1 shots are now 3. Usually I'd find myself firing in bursts anyway when using auto.
loud granite
are u rly wasting any bullets when shooting into a horde
steel valley
are you always shooting into a horde?
loud granite
when ur not, it can usually be solved by domestic hammering
finite stirrup
higher firerate and range is more versatility in that regard though
loud granite
double the range and firerate is no joke in a game where guns are almost all below 10m
steel valley
if you care about range and ttk take a semi

scattergun got nerfed huh
still oneshots pretty much everything, but requires u too get closer to giants/aim for head on other types
grave acorn
scattergun got nerfed huh
It is still good if you are in tight spaces with giants and you want them to die immediately but it's not the left click all chunks gun it used to be.
minor plinth

I tried both HEL and scatter
still don't get the range

easier for me to use the revolver or chocked shotgun

oh and also I played with a friend who bought the game for the first time. Then he had cooler mask and top. Are cosmetics randomized for each player at the game purchase?
loud granite
easier for me to use the revolver or chocked shotgun
choke shotgun is not a bad choice, u only need 4 shells to kill a giant and h can fire it very fast

I don't use biotrackers.
2. Bioscans are the circle scan things.
flat rock
oh and 2 more questions now that it popped in my head: 1. does zooming bio track...
zooming bio pings one thing, which is pointless
Don't do it to ping things

ping?

boosters for bioscan do not improve the biotracker, there are separate boosters for the biotracker cpu speed
minor plinth
oho
flat rock
ping = little red triangles marking enemies

you can zoom to look at things better on the bio while in stealth or something like that

I just would never use it to do anything else

sentry does it all but I find target designation helps in certain aspects

sentries are quite nice this rundown yea
minor plinth
I heard sniper sentry is useful for 1 specific rundown I read somewhere

Quick question: I've not been playing since rundown 3. Now that the game is released, is rundown 6 going to stay and they will be adding more and more, or it's still the same that we have time limit to clear rundown 6, and then it's going to be removed completly and replaced with 7?
buoyant arrow
same as before, r6 will be wiped when r7 comes
dusty hawk
do we now have a set time between releases? Or it's just more or less few months
The thing that always annoyed me is that I wanted to clear all the rundowns, but I don't have much time to play and since rundown 3 i've always had to skip the last levels..
buoyant arrow
uh unknown for now, since they have a much bigger team for future content so it might be quicker but a few months per rundowns would be a safe bet. idk gotta see a couple more rundowns to see what release schedule they have
difficulty got toned down alot compared to R4 and R5 too and checkpoints are helpful (when they work) to not waste time
dusty hawk
Oh, checkpoints?
buoyant arrow
and bots too! they are a bit quirky tho
checkpoints are bugged rn so its a 50/50 if they work, but missions are alot shorter now so thats cool
dusty hawk
Ok that's great to hear. Our team could only gather every few days so we never managed to clear rundown 3 and then basically berely played at all in rundown 4 and skipped rundown 5 completly
But those changes that you are explaining might help us get into the game again
thanks 😄
