[neon gust]

you will have to redo the level

[minor fractal]

@lofty pasture Did you check if the code changed?

Last person has to open settings and regrab the code

[lofty pasture]

i'm trying to rejoin my friend and it just says waiting for master

[minor fractal]

^

[lofty pasture]

and where can i insert the code?

[neon gust]

if you friends on steam

you can just try right click and join trought there

but if that deosnt work then lobby broke

[lofty pasture]

ok we try thank you

very unfortunate cause that happened at very last moment of the level after the whole evening

[neon gust]

Did you use a checkpoint?

[lofty pasture]

yes the warden door

[neon gust]

game kinda breaks hard due to desyncs and checkpoints

[lofty pasture]

the last one

i mean we didn't die

we just secured the checkpoint

nothing, the lobby completely broke, sadly after 4.30 hours

when everything was done

[solid spear]

Ye that happens sometime

[weary mesa]

checkpionts optional
forces you to open them

[solid spear]

Your gonna have to redo everything

[weary mesa]

🤔

[neon gust]

See the birght side

[lofty pasture]

thanks for the very fast help guys, appreciate it, i'm gonna go carve my eyes out before sleep

[neon gust]

you know the entire level, you can now do it faster and better

[lofty pasture]

yeah ideally yes

thanks again!

[stoic breach]

Could always do it in 20 minutes or less 🙂

[solid spear]

Devs be like

Seeing people finishing D1 in 15 to 30mins

[neon gust]

I mean without the skip still like 45 min to an hour

Just depends on how good you'are

same thing with r5e1

[topaz anvil]

I'm not good ;c

[solid spear]

True you can just do the whole scan in fog if you feel like it

[neon gust]

Also promoting speedrun strats cringe

[solid spear]

Lmao

[topaz anvil]

R5E1 only took like 75m moving at good pace

no skip strats

[minor fractal]

Dunno about that, most clears were 2+ hours.

[topaz anvil]

If you knew the level and had a solid team you can easily do it sub 2 hours

[ruby wasp]

"good pace"

[topaz anvil]

with randoms maybe around 2

blind

3

[ruby wasp]

If you take your time to loot & look around, ofc you'll reach 2h

[solid spear]

I mean you kinda have to loot if you run out of ammo

[topaz anvil]

yeah but that shouldn't take an additional 45m

[solid spear]

No no

Maybe like 5 to 10 mins maybe even less

[topaz anvil]

especially if the ammo is in your progression path

[solid spear]

It depends who can use a terminal properly

[solid spear]

If ammo is then it should be easy enough

[topaz anvil]

The only part of the level which requires slower movement is the shadow zone since ammo can spawn in very inconvenient spots near shadow scouts

[solid spear]

I wouldn't know because i never got to do E1

[stoic breach]

Quad saying that D1 takes 3 hours, when his first clear was sub-2 hours and blind

[topaz anvil]

D1???

[stoic breach]

We did that in 1:50

[topaz anvil]

I'm chatting R5E1

[stoic breach]

Oh yeah that's long

2:30

[steady hearth]

How long till we get a new Rundown you think?

[stoic breach]

be patient and use the search bar.

[topaz anvil]

5 months

[viscid wolf]

his first clear was 3 and a half hours

oh wait D1

nevermind I thought you meant E1

it took that long partially because the last scan took like half an hour cuz I died like 7 times

[solid spear]

D1 the last apex door scan is a tedious one

Need lots of focus and calmed minds

My D1 first try took me 2 hours and 2 minutes

[neon gust]

what not using terminal does to mf

A lot of the levels are an hour or two if you dont stop moving

or going afk

[topaz anvil]

We took like a 30m dinner break as well for R5E1 blind

[solid spear]

Lmao

[viscid wolf]

I was also in math class

it was quite funny

[smoky mist]

I seen someone take over 7 hours on d1 lmao

[woeful sedge]

Where do the enemies spawn when doing the big glowy orange door scan in d1?

[topaz anvil]

In all the rooms around you i believe

[crystal basalt]

Is the machine pistol good for really close range?

I've heard conflicting stuff

[tiny tundra]

I like it but you can't really use it and expect it to help with things other than smalls

[crystal basalt]

Machine pistol and scattergun would be a fun combo as long as my teammates choose guns that can kill something farther away than right on top of you

[fierce oracle]

Machine pistol is only good in close range, yet still manages to get outclassed by other primaries within close range

[viscid wolf]

😔

[noble cape]

what's the diff between overload and prisoner efficiency

[topaz anvil]

.t sectors

[uneven gulch]

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:
Primary
Secondary
Overload (Third Sector)
Prisoner efficiency (All three Sectors in the same run)

Multiple sectors can be completed at the same time, however you always need to do the Primary/Main sector.

[viscid wolf]

overload is a difficulty, PE means that you did all 3 sectors within the same run

basically that

[noble cape]

ok

[topaz anvil]

Literally in the paragraph above

[minor fractal]

You guys remember 8 hours of R2D1?

They didn't even beat it.

[viscid wolf]

what

[safe musk]

Is adding a katana in the game good melee?

[rigid sinew]

It depends

they make it like other games where you can slice everything at lightning speed they would make it to overpowered

[snow peak]

any news when rundown 7 is coming out

[jaunty bear]

nah

[rigid sinew]

what I would see as good stats for a katana or sword would be a horizontal lingering hitbox with really shit range and low precision and uncharged damage, but with a slow yet strong as fuck charge

other than that...nah no swords

[deft garnet]

how do you make the bots help during stealth sections? the synchronize and 3 2 1 commands dont seem to do anything...

[rigid sinew]

you don't

[finite plinth]

just balance it like in kf where the katana is the worst zerk weapon

:^)

[rigid sinew]

that's already what the spear is for doe

[snow peak]

i think an axe would be cool

[rigid sinew]

would have to fit the same time as a sword

or be a heavy hammer i guess

like hammer with spear stats

[vale sluice]

love how people assume katana means super fast weapon. Its... just a sword, with a swing speed like a normal sword. The curved blade only means it CUTS better when used a certain way. Also, doesn't really have a place in this setting.

because of its SINGLE cutting edge, there's a different style of swordsmanship behind it.

[finite plinth]

neither does a bat or spear

[vale sluice]

both of those make sense all things c onsidered

bats fit in because its a prison weapon

the setting is eurocentric from what I can tell, "far eastern" style weapons would feel ENTIRELY out of place

[hallow vector]

do we know when the next rundown is coming out?

[wary linden]

No. Probably not for a while considering how it took 7 months from r4 to r5 and another 7 months from r5 to r6

Not saying it's gonna take 7 months but i would be very surprise for them to release r7 in less then 2 months after the release

[hallow vector]

cool thx

[finite plinth]

sees r2

[viscid wolf]

if were getting leaks this soon then you can expect an extension

[finite plinth]

ext is probably gonna fill up like a rectangle

a2-4, b3-4, c4

🥱

[rigid sinew]

love how people assume katana means super fast weapon
it's kind of a norm in games
so that's probably what the average gamer think when someone mentions a katana
and gamers are stupid, so...

[viscid wolf]

slash

[vale sluice]

quick, don't show gamers the 2 handed katana! They'll be so confused why fast sword so beeg.

[rigid sinew]

lol

I just something like the big swords in skyrim would be cool

slow but lethal

unlike the spear

[vale sluice]

I think the current spear should be a little quicker than it is. But I think it makes sense

[gleaming kestrel]

does sprinting alert scouts even if you don't touch the feelers?

[pearl badger]

no

but it either makes them crouch, or spread their tentacle if they are in hearing range.

also, if there is any sleeping ennemy around that wakes up due to sprint, it will wake up the scout

[viscid wolf]

scoots no longer crouch on extend

[viscid wolf]

as tendo already mentioned scouts will only extend it feelers if you sprint near it which is why you'll see experienced players straight up run at it

instead of sleeping and waking up like normal sleepers, it now has three ish phases

its 'sleeping' phase is its walking phase where it just wanders around

imagine [standing] walking past a sleeper, the scout works similarly but its a meter instead of 4 phases (sleep, glow, pulse, wake) Walk or spam crouch to much will fill that meter and cause it to extend those tentacles

think of the meter length as the time it takes for you to wake up a normal sleeper

the only time it will scream is when you

1. shoot
2. a sleeper wakes up within 7(?)m
3. sleeper in the same room screams

it also takes around 0.5 seconds for the scout to scream after triggering its tentacles so if it extends next to you and there are sleepers nearby consider running into the tentacle to hit it, though it takes some practice

I guess thats a long winded way of saying to run if you're near it and it extends its tentacles

[safe musk]

is it possible to solo the entire game without a team/bots

[viscid wolf]

people have done it

if you're a new player don't expect to get far

[floral acorn]

check out hinoki + t-nenpi on youtube

[safe musk]

oooh

thank you

[craggy pier]

how do i record GTFO from a third person perspective? I want to make a cinematic video

[ruby wasp]

GTFO TPS 😳

[floral acorn]

not possible w/o using forbidden_word 's

[craggy pier]

what is that?

[craggy pier]

huh, the forbidden word?

[floral pecan]

Rules, check the last one

[floral acorn]

dm

[floral pecan]

That is the only thing i can think about

[craggy pier]

roger that

mouth zipped

[topaz anvil]

Fuck it, unzips your mouth

[floral pecan]

Mmh..

[echo lion]

Does anyone know where to find the grunts voice lines from the files? Or is that not a thing we can see?

[rigid sinew]

we can't, at least not by normal means

data mining is something the devs don't particularly like too

[ruby wasp]

You could still ask in the modding server

Since they reuse several assets of the game (model & sounds)

[rigid sinew]

^

[sharp whale]

Why are people so adverse to flame styled weaponry? I'm talking molotov cocktails and or flamethrowers

[rigid sinew]

burst aoe damage = bad

would need to be extremely weak or have a scarcity that makes it so you value a more tactical placement

mines already fit that role

also damage over time sucks in any game

[sharp whale]

mines kill inmediatly, flame weaponry would kill over time

[sharp whale]

why?

[fierce oracle]

Teemo would like a word with you

[sharp whale]

I think that way of thinking gimps the creativity the devs could have over the game

[rigid sinew]

i mean they don't have to listen to us in the end

at the end of the day they are the ones who are supposed to know about game design

[fierce oracle]

AoE effects are inherently OP in gtfo. There aren’t enough enemies that are allowed on the level at a time for it to ever be balanced

[rigid sinew]

people didn't like the idea of stamina and checkpoints
yet they added them and surprise, they work pretty well

[dark cove]

does this game normally tell you when you disconnect? (i'm unsure if this belongs in #gtfo-technical-support) i have a friend with really bad internet who i play with (with bots), and when i disconnect or her game crashes it just leaves me in the mission with everything frozen unable to interact with anything (i get the prompt but it does nothing if i hold it down/use it). my friend told me i was gone and replaced with a bot while instead of me getting to keep playing with bots i'm stuck in a broken lobby while she gets to continue to play. i got disconnected at the first alarm door in B1.

[rigid sinew]

is your friend the host?

[dark cove]

yes

[midnight gazelle]

Typically when you cant interact, that means host left and host migration is being fucky

[rigid sinew]

then the lobby failed to migrate

that's quite common since the release came out

[sharp whale]

there is a cap on how many sleepers can be generated on a level?

[dark cove]

ah okay, thanks for letting me know

[rigid sinew]

rather on alarms
like 20-30 points worth of enemies

[fierce oracle]

Spawn cap is 25 enemies, giants and bosses count as 2

[rigid sinew]

oh

[midnight gazelle]

Only 25? Damn, i thought it was more

[fierce oracle]

Yeah

[sharp whale]

is that due to game engine?

[fierce oracle]

It’s why Hel and AoE stuff if broken

[midnight gazelle]

I thought it was at least 30-35

[rigid sinew]

no, design stuff

[fierce oracle]

Probably, on D2 with the baby blood door all of the enemies lag because there are too many alive at a time

[dark cove]

since you're constantly killing enemies on alarm doors it makes sense

[fierce oracle]

You can go above spawn cap by waking up sleeping rooms while at spawn cap

[fleet vessel]

they do start bugging out and freezing at some point if you wake up too many tho

[fierce oracle]

Or by having mother’s birth multiple baby spawns, as moms have their own spawn cap

[fleet vessel]

^ that too, those don't freeze up for no reason either

[fierce oracle]

Once you get to 35ish things the engine just breaks down and can’t handle it

[sharp whale]

hmmm damn, yeah I had that too

[royal spire]

There be more rundowns after Rundown 006 ? if someone out here can like confirm that cuz a lot of my friends wanna buy the game but they are having a confusion about this thing.

[weary mesa]

,t rundown

fuk

[topaz anvil]

.t rundown

[uneven gulch]

For information on what the Rundowns are and how they work, take a look at this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHZwiPVOVvA

[weary mesa]

good ol' ,

[topaz anvil]

Yes

[sharp whale]

shame, chucking a molotov to the back of a ||tank|| or burning ||shadows|| would be hella fun

[topaz anvil]

Imagine needing to censor those

[sharp whale]

the new sound effects would be awesome too

[royal spire]

but where is the timer for Rundown 6 ? Sorry I am just asking stupid question cuz I rundown 6 gonna be my second rundown after the rundown 1 or so.

[weary mesa]

I could see it happen game is becoming less and less hardcore

[craggy pier]

nowhere because they didnt announce R7 yet

Then again IIRC R5 didnt have a countdown timer for R6 either

[royal spire]

ah I see

Thanks for the info mate

[craggy pier]

you're welcome

[midnight gazelle]

They literally just suddenly released r6 lmao

I remember because i was playing r5 when they released it xd

[topaz anvil]

When they are ready to release a new rundown you will know

[sharp whale]

well the game was hardcore before because the game just chucked a lot enemies at you with insane alarms and shit, the addition of the ||flying meatballs|| is a step on the right direction.

[lilac fulcrum]

I heard Calle's beard gets shinier

[rigid sinew]

meatball alarm prenerf :sadge:

[weary mesa]

Flyers aren't even used on many security door alarms

[topaz anvil]

2 alarm doors

[sharp whale]

When they are it's usually pretty good, add some more new enemy types to the mix...

[topaz anvil]

In the rundown

[weary mesa]

Chargers on alarms again 👀

too hard

[topaz anvil]

R5D2 class ix but with guzzlers

[sharp whale]

now imagine if we can chuck molotovs at them, gets easier. put meatballs in gets fair

[neon gust]

Can wait foe the strat.of funneling through a small door and throwing a molotov

Dang

[weary mesa]

permafoam mine then molly

[neon gust]

Mine + molotov

[weary mesa]

that too lmao

[neon gust]

Molotov mine

[sharp whale]

now we need enemies that chuck molotovs too

[fierce oracle]

I really hope that it is just the shitty gmod fire effects

Just a png that rotates off player position

[sharp whale]

hmmm, how about acid then? you chuck them they burn but with science. Don't throw it at doors cuz they dissolve

[neon gust]

acid mine

i mean tbf

we already have a lot of the stuff surrounding loud gameplay covered

cfoam/autosentry its your cc tool for slowdown and stalling

the other 3 sentries for killing and reducing enemies

Mines already kill an entire wave

we need something that makes stealth enjoyable

even with the new meless, yes the dynamic change on how we stealth

but the basics still persist

it didnt change in that regard

[rigid sinew]

the other 3 sentries
ah yes, the 4th sentry

...

oh...shotgun

lol

I forgor

[sharp whale]

Most games handle stealth the same, You're standing up? you're not hidden, you're crouching? you are

[rigid sinew]

maxing out stealth in skyrim be like

[neon gust]

Yeah im old how can you tell

[neon gust]

Not really, your still in stealth while standing still

hell your faster if your standing while clearing

lel

[sharp whale]

I mean I'm all for getting inside a box to stealth but that is way a bigger issue than resolving flames

[sharp whale]

you want to be perma-crouched to stealth then?

[neon gust]

???

what are you on about

I just said its actually faster to stealth while standing than crouching

[sharp whale]

aren't you talking about how we stealth?

[neon gust]

wut

stealth remain static since the game release

charger scout the only game changer

its ass

[topaz anvil]

You can stealth walk in this game because all the enemies are asleep. The only difference between crouching and walking is enemies wake up faster when walking

[sharp whale]

like changing the dynamics?

[neon gust]

we were talking about the tools my friend

something new that speeds them or allows them to make more difficult rooms

so we can use said tool

[sharp whale]

so tools that make you more stealthy?

[rigid sinew]

when we getting tank birther scout?

[neon gust]

more speedy*

[sharp whale]

hmmm I don't know what kind of tool could do that

[neon gust]

They legit mention things like a bubble sound in wich you can shoot inside of it and not wake up the room

cool shit like that

[sharp whale]

ah yeah I can see that, well not that exactly but yeah

[neon gust]

oh really

instead of hammering 3 giants for like 3 min

you can just drop that and snipe them with the sniper

in like 2 seconds

huge time saver and move the match pretty quickly

the possibilities

[sharp whale]

sounds complicated tho, what would be the in game lore reason tho? like it's reason to exist?

[neon gust]

ok buddy

you have teleporting aliens and your worried about the lore of something gameplay related

YO NEW MASK

DROP

[finite plinth]

the gtfo drip

[sharp whale]

I mean yeah, the devs have stated that they're not adding grenades or rockets because prisoners are given the bare-bones essentials

[neon gust]

one its power creep the other isnt

this is something to keep a room quite

the other its to kill 10+ enemies in a single click

your not understanding how different those two are

Also the thing ive mention was mention in a german interview with simon

so they were working on it

[rigid sinew]

*you're

[neon gust]

argument undone

i lost

ill go jump of a bridge

[rigid sinew]

seethe

[neon gust]

cope

[rigid sinew]

mald

[topaz anvil]

dilate

[noble cape]

For d3 what's the point of putting mines on that one wall near the bulkhead sccan?

[floral pecan]

didn't do such a thing

[topaz anvil]

Idk who does that

[noble cape]

Oh

Lol

[mossy aurora]

saving mines so they can use tool on themselves and not overfill

[lime egret]

^ that was my guess

[scenic violet]

Is the sniper always a one shot kill when hitting bigs in the face?

[lime egret]

Yes

[floral pecan]

unless lag

[scenic violet]

weird. I must have had a booster that reduced special damage or something .

[neon gust]

you will still one shot them

[scenic violet]

Wait what? Lag can effect the damage multiplier?

[mossy aurora]

you probably hit it in the neck, but the head got destroyed

[neon gust]

lag will just make you miss the hit entirely

[floral pecan]

i had a match where i couldn't kill any giant with sniper

[neon gust]

you probably miss

[floral pecan]

like none at all

heads always went off but they didn't die

[rigid sinew]

how does that make any sense lol

[mossy aurora]

someone said that the head is still actually there, you just shoot where the head would be and it will die, never tested that though

[neon gust]

you can shoot the body and break the head

[scenic violet]

That's exactly what happened to me

[neon gust]

it part of the chest part area

[scenic violet]

I was aiming for their mouths.

[neon gust]

so it blows the entire head

but its not hs

visually you blow the entire top portion

but thats just part of the chest area for the giant

[mellow raven]

Hey guys! I'm thinking of buying the game. Is it easy to find a group here? Also is there a matchmaking system to find people to play with?

[neon gust]

hs its the literal top of the head where the teeth are

[floral pecan]

are you in EU?

[mellow raven]

yes

[neon gust]

.t lfg

[uneven gulch]

Hello! If you are unaware, we have Looking For Group (LFG) channels to help users group up and play the game. They are located here: #lfg-north-america / #lfg-latin-america / #lfg-eastern-europe / #lfg-western-europe / #lfg-asia / #lfg-oceania / #lfg-africa / #lfg-beginners.

If you are unsure of how to create or join a lobby, please see the instructions here: #how-to-matchmake.

[floral pecan]

then yes, just make sure to use lfg ^

there is matchmaking but it is more.. random

[scenic violet]

So at the top of the mouth? Not the middle of it?

[mellow raven]

aight. Thanks!

[neon gust]

tip of the head

[floral pecan]

as the rundown has been out for a while now it may take like 5-10 mins to find a lobby tought @mellow raven , depending on level

[neon gust]

the head its the mouth

this is getting trippy

lmao

wacky monsters

[scenic violet]

Weird. I'll keep testing.

[craggy pier]

do i just have to get a completion on a level i've allready completed or do i have to beat an actual level to get the completion for it

[lilac fulcrum]

Just complete any level. Doesn't matter if you've already completed it or not

[craggy pier]

noice

time to speedrun a1 with bots

[lime egret]

My plan when I get off work

[craggy pier]

lol

[eternal trail]

Yo, anyone else recoginize the fact that the teaser from the other day, was in reference to this mask?

[topaz anvil]

Yes

[eternal trail]

Took me a moment, lol

[green bloom]

I'm currently going through C1 and the terminal is telling me there are boxes and lockers I haven't found in zone 145, but I can't find them

I've noticed that the areas jump from 145_C to 145_F

And yet I find no passage to the missing D and E

[stoic breach]

You missed the rooms to the far north connected to the B zone

but this 20 minutes ago, so you're probably dead

[green bloom]

no, I'm standing in front of the room with 10 big boys

I would swear there weren't any passages there, but I'll go back to check

[stoic breach]

If you're at the scan door, then go to the far side of the room there is a small door on your left, if you just go straight.

There you'll find another scan door that leads to ||5 scouts and a silent scan and afterwards||the next cube

[green bloom]

Found the missing areas, thank you

[green bloom]

I made it past the ||5 scouts|| and saw one of my bots approach a medipack, then run away, climb a ladder and pick up said medipack from one floor below

Expedition completed. Thanks for the answer

[rancid yew]

started playing recently with some friends and wanted to know if a strategy that doesn't rely on stealth too much can be effective, we managed to clear the first 2 levels with basically just running and gunning but don't know if this is a good strategy for later levels

[topaz anvil]

Its not a great idea for later levels but you do get a lot of ammo in early levels

[mild fractal]

Easy levels are short enough to use ammo like that. deeper levels being 1-3 hours in length means you don’t really want to waste ammo on 3 small boys in a room chilling

[fair gazelle]

Do I need to complete an uncompleted rundown for the event helmet, or can it be any rundown?

[solid spear]

No

You can complete A1 again if you like

It will give it to you

[fair gazelle]

Ahhh.. Okay, Thank you

[solid spear]

No problem

[winged lantern]

Can a friend who hasnt completed A1 join someone hosting D1? If so, will he get boosters if the level is completed?

[neon gust]

yes

as long as you have code he can join

hes gonna have a really bad time

[winged lantern]

thats the point 😄

[raw violet]

How would one fresh to the game get started?

[jaunty bear]

@raw violet greetings friend, allow me to assist ur question:

1. There are no explicit in game guides. it will not hold your hand. if you wish for a guide, there are some good youtube videos available.
2. If you wanna hop into a match, you can go solo with bots, solo by yourself (which is not recommended if you're new), or with players.
3. To get started with players: #lfg-beginners is a great place to look, or simply choose which region.

If you have specific questions, I can answer them, otherwise i'm relatively sure you know what you're getting yourself into!

[raw violet]

Thank you! I do know it's quite the difficult game, and I'm interested - I might go for the lfg channels, since I feel like having someone who wants to teach me some of the basics at least would be immensely useful

[rigid sinew]

Having someone to teach you the basics is a good idea, but for the best experience I say you should try to search for a group of people who are also new to the game, even better if they are friends

That's usually the best GTFO experience you can sort of have

though if you can't that's also fine

just enjoy your playthrough and try to open your mind into learning the game

[jaunty bear]

Walk softly, plan your next moves, communicate if necessary.

It's evident, especially in, say, D4, to plan really carefully, lest you wipe.

[obtuse bobcat]

will the bots finish off a hybrid and stealth kill it if i hit it first

i'm playing solo and have 3 bots

[neon gust]

Yes

they will "try"

dont be scared if they suddenly shoot the shit out of the hybrid

theyre shots are silent

[obtuse bobcat]

yeah, i was just wondering since i'm in a scout room and that hybrid was blocking the way

[obtuse bobcat]

also is it possible to cfoam a tank

preferably with a cfoam grenade

[neon gust]

yes

use two

you can technically do it with one

but theres some bs with it

[obtuse bobcat]

thanks :)

[gleaming kestrel]

does m2 on melee do dmg?

[floral acorn]

nope, shove is dmg'less

[gleaming kestrel]

alr thx

[idle kayak]

Is there going to be some easy mode, because even in full squad we're not able to complete any level

?

[latent obsidian]

I don't think so. The devs intend for this to be a challenging game. Whats going wrong in your run? People here could try giving some pointers, and there are some useful tutorial videos too if you're struggling

[ruby wasp]

The very point of the game is to be hard

Devs have been quite generous in implementing checkpoonts & boosters along with lowering the difficulty overall

I don't think they'll lower it any further

[idle kayak]

Everything stealth goes well, we even managed scout a few times, but when we start alarm we just cant do it

[ruby wasp]

Keep trying

It's not as hard as you may think it is

[latent obsidian]

Scout? Are you not playing A1?

[ruby wasp]

Use other tools, other weapons, other strats

Don't stick yourself to a single loadout expecting it'll work

[idle kayak]

I like this game a lot, but repeating the same level after 1 hour run again and again is frustrating

[ruby wasp]

The point isn't to clear every level first try though

I've seen people spend 5h to simply clear the last alarm of C1

More than a week, 6h per day to clear D4

[latent obsidian]

Well the game is only going to get more like that... I'd recommend watching some videos to help you but if you don't enjoy repeating a level or checkpoint many times then you might get more frustrated in future

[floral acorn]

usually alarm failure is due to 2 things: not scanning the scan and/or not shooting gun

i def recommend biotracker to give everyone those nice triangles to pew pew at

[ruby wasp]

Or picking autosentry thinking it'll do the job

New to the game? Check out these guides

GTFO isn't a game where you'll find a classic "press space to jump" tutorial, instead, we tried to make the first map A1 as self-explanatory as possible. But, we also collaborated with the community creator Professor Scaler. He made one guide for A1, and one that touches more on the different systems in the game.

[ruby wasp]

See those as well

Also let me guess

You block doors but don't mine them ?

[modest vault]

cpu tracker speed booster

wtf is that?

[floral acorn]

biotracker pings, 8 second cool down (or so) .. that cuts the cooldown

[modest vault]

ohhh

[latent obsidian]

If you hover your mouse over some of the booster descriptions a popup will give you some more detailed info

[modest vault]

thanks

[idle kayak]

Our loadouts: Malatack LX, shotgun, 3X autosentry 1x scanner

[ruby wasp]

There goes your problem

[floral acorn]

1 auto 2 burst, you're set

[ruby wasp]

3 autosentries

Or cfoam + mine + burst

[floral acorn]

^

[idle kayak]

I've seen guys smash alarm swarms with a hammer and still couldn't believe it

[ruby wasp]

Don't copy them

These guys have several hundred/thousands of hours

[floral acorn]

only useful when alarm is over, the last bits of last wave can be hammered, otherwise they'll just spawn back in

[latent obsidian]

A common strategy with cfoam and mines is to put a mine on the rim of the door on the inside where the enemy will break in. When they finally break through the door the mine will kill almost all of them. You can make this even more effective by spraying cfoam on the door so it takes the enemies longer to break in. That gives you plenty of time to stand in the scan circles and even more enemies will stack up to get killed by the mine

Thats gonna be a bread and butter tactic for alarms all throughout the game

[ruby wasp]

You can also permafoam (refoam the door) during an alarm if it is too long

If you do it well on both A1 alarms you'll never shoot

[idle kayak]

yeah that seems logic and could be working even with dumbass players like us

[ruby wasp]

That's why i suggested to try out other weapons, tools and strategies

There are plenty of ways to deal with a problem

[latent obsidian]

(in general right now auto-sentries aren't that good too. They won't kill many enemies but will just stagger them. Burst sentries will serve you better if you want the tool to shoot them)

[idle kayak]

we've done R5 A1 on I think 3rd try, but A2 didn't completed even after 10 runs

[ruby wasp]

A2 ?

Oh R5

nvm

For R5 cfoam was useless for ex

[floral acorn]

back when sniper sentry was still the greatest

[idle kayak]

rundown 5, A2 recollect

[ruby wasp]

R4's sniper sentry was better

[latent obsidian]

Was that the one with the cargo?

[ruby wasp]

Yes

[wooden osprey]

it was too op

[latent obsidian]

My memory is fading for old rundowns now... I used to remember so well

[ruby wasp]

Extreme in the dark & le funny overload

[latent obsidian]

ah yes, the overload. I certainly remember that

[craggy pier]

r4e1 extreme?

[ivory ember]

Anyone know how to identify specific sound files from the game? There’s no naming convention they’re all seemingly random numbers lol

[solid spear]

What

[craggy pier]

how do you get the steam trading cards lol

[ruby wasp]

trading

[craggy pier]

...

[ruby wasp]

it's freaking called "trading cards"

ofc it's trading

[solid spear]

You play game until steam decides your worthy enough to get card

[worldly perch]

does sniper sentry fire pierce through multiple enemies?

[ruby wasp]

no

[solid spear]

It does penetrate yer mom tho

Jk

[worldly perch]

also I heard if you ping enemies using bio-tracker, sentries somehow have better time aiming or something

[worldly perch]

that's why your mom keeps three of those at home

jk

🏃‍♂️

[analog oyster]

That is false

[solid spear]

Which mom

[tame plume]

shame, we need a Hel Rifle Sentry

Railgun Sentry idea confirmed

[rigid sinew]

go ask in modding server [rule 12]

[worldly perch]

does a sentry see shadow enemies without the help of the bio-tracker?

[ruby wasp]

No

[worldly perch]

well we have a bit of a confusion here then

[ruby wasp]

However the sentry's light can show you where they are

they can't shoot at them if they're not pinged

[ruby wasp]

As for that question i recall autosentries having a much better aim back in R4 when aiming at pinged enemies

[worldly perch]

I could swear I watched a guide and they said bio-tracker buffs sentries.. could be black dragon's

[ruby wasp]

Maybe that was merely an impression but there was a huge difference on extreme situations

[analog oyster]

biotracker does nothing to help your sentryguns, its probably just placebo

[ruby wasp]

I don't think it's purely placebo

[analog oyster]

biotracker however allows the sentry to shoot at shadows

[rigid sinew]

nobody has confirmed it, more than anything

[ruby wasp]

If you tried out R4E1 with autosentries, you'd see how good they are at aiming enemies once you ping them

[analog oyster]

its probably more to do with elevation than anything

[ruby wasp]

on reactor's defense especially

[tame plume]

There already is code logic ingame for the sentries to be track-assisted, that's obv from the shadow targeting logic

so it wouldn't be a stretch to implement or clarify that logic

Does the Biotracker need a buff like that?

[rigid sinew]

no, but i still want it

[analog oyster]

I agree it wouldnt be a stretch to implement. It’d be a great addition if the sentries were nerfed

[ruby wasp]

Supposedly that aim bonus doesn't exist, it would be a good idea to implement it

cfoam & mine synergizes well

[tame plume]

Well, lets breakdown the equipment in value

[ruby wasp]

bio & sentries could as well

[tame plume]

#1 imho is Burst atm

[ruby wasp]

bring back R4's sniper sentry

[tame plume]

it has been buffed to relevance over the past few rundowns

[ruby wasp]

😔

[analog oyster]

I dont think they touched the sentry to the point that it became dog tier?

[analog oyster]

R6 just doesnt have long hallways

too many anyway*

[tame plume]

Sniper sentry is, for the most part, removed in value

because above point^^^

[ruby wasp]

Right

[tame plume]

there are less long sight lines

[ruby wasp]

R5 nerfed it regarding acquisition time iirc

not that much of a nerf though

[tame plume]

^^^ yep

[rigid sinew]

nah, number one is mines
there is literally no reason to not bring them every expedition

[analog oyster]

#1 tool is mines

[ruby wasp]

since it was still good because of hallways like B1 overload

[analog oyster]

Then sentry

[ruby wasp]

autosentry bottom

😳

[worldly perch]

-15% CPU targeting time for tagged enemies would be a nice bonus for bio tracker.

[ruby wasp]

Well

in fact there are not levels that could use autosentries well

aside from D4 maybe

[tame plume]

Perhaps having longer tracking on Focused tracking would also be a nice feature for the Biotracker

[rigid sinew]

-50% sentry cpu booster
on sniper sentry

[finite plinth]

why would you bring mines in r5d1

[ruby wasp]

le funnee tank mining

[finite plinth]

big chargers detonating them before tank

lole

[rigid sinew]

:ujel:

[tame plume]

I think a 30-50% increased tracking time when using focused tracking should've been brought in when they implemented it

[finite plinth]

plus mines insta killing tanks is almost impossible to do in r5

[tame plume]

marking that father/mother for a long time

[analog oyster]

increased tracking time when less enemies are present might be a good idea

Gives value to the single mark that has no use at the moment

[ruby wasp]

These idiots always trigger anyway

[tame plume]

nah, i mean increased tracking when ADS tracking(which only tracks the closest active enemy)

[ruby wasp]

aside from R5E1 but who tf would trigger it intentionally

[analog oyster]

Yeah i was leaning on this idea too, it sounds good

[rigid sinew]

i would imagine a biotracker buff that makes sentries hit the head/weak spots on marked targets

[finite plinth]

damn i got skill issued by a giant licking through a broken door

rip c3 solo

was down to 3 mins

[tame plume]

they already aim for weakpoints

[finite plinth]

this

[tame plume]

Burst sentry is the bane of my Sniper

[rigid sinew]

hmm
do a sniper sentry destroys the balls of a tank?

like does it aim at them?

[finite plinth]

yes?

[analog oyster]

yes

[tame plume]

for it removes Giant Striders' heads before i can 1 shot them

[rigid sinew]

huh

[analog oyster]

you can stare at the tank and let the sentry kill it

[finite plinth]

it helped me with breaking 2 tumors in my d1 solo

[tame plume]

All sentries aim for the weakpoints of targets

[finite plinth]

but that was a booster run

imagine bringing boosters solo lole

[ruby wasp]

Autosentry : Autismo mode

[rigid sinew]

that's something new for me
last time I tried that it didn't work lol
probably skill issue

[finite plinth]

placement issue

[tame plume]

^^^

[rigid sinew]

😔

[ruby wasp]

I think someone should make a stat about how many bullets an autosentry would shoot correctly

[tame plume]

the sniper sentry will shoot the face of the tank over and over if u let it face the turret

[analog oyster]

Definitely skill issue

[finite plinth]

flashbacks to r5d1 using sniper sen for big mama

[rigid sinew]

/pol/ moment

[finite plinth]

refoaming door until sniper sen ran out

[ruby wasp]

R5D1 would surely be easy as hell with checkpoints actually

one checkpoint in front of reactor

another one in front of momma

[tame plume]

Checkpoints are good, and bad, for the game imo

depending on how and where they are laid

[rigid sinew]

...nah

full elitist mode

[ruby wasp]

The thing it's a double-edged sword

[rigid sinew]

checkpoints bad

[finite plinth]

checkpoints bad

[ruby wasp]

If you're looking for fun, you'd intentionally not use checkpoints

Even without them the levels are easy

but there is much less pressure

[finite plinth]

it's only good if it breaks the level by making it hard

[ruby wasp]

on the other hand, if they want to make levels difficult even with checkpoints, we'd technically get the hardest levels in the game

lol

[finite plinth]

pre fix c3 and c2

[ruby wasp]

matching previous E-tier levels in term of difficulty with another E-tier level with checkpoint

zamn

[solid spear]

I think the most dreadful level would be an F tier level

[ruby wasp]

Ah yes

call it "Kiting"

since this is what you'll do 99% of the time

[solid spear]

I think E levels just shouldn't have checkpoints tbh

[rigid sinew]

the only reason I use checkpoints is 9 times out of 10 my shit mates don't want to waste time into doing the level again

[ruby wasp]

Not that

There should be a valid reason to clear levels without checkpoints

[rigid sinew]

I really wish there was an effort required for checkpoints
like clearing an extra zone that you have to do a checkpoint alarm (like a safe room)
or having post checkpoint reload punishments

mainly the first one

[ruby wasp]

that as well

like a bonus alarm for checkpoint

[rigid sinew]

make it completely optional
have it so players have to waste resources to get their precious crutch

[finite plinth]

i wish they remove the checkpoint in c3 because i have to stand for another 10 secs in solo

thanks for making me take like 20 dmg

[rigid sinew]

skill issue

[hollow dagger]

question

why is the sleeper a red dot

not a white circle

is there a difference ?

[latent obsidian]

its a long standing bug, theres no difference

[hollow dagger]

ah alright

thought it was something like a collectible ran right in

stopped just in time tho lol

[latent obsidian]

Its not normally a problem, but scouts can actually appear as that tiny red dot sometimes, making them unpingable and harder to notice. It shouldn't happen often (the tiny red dot will still move)

It normally fixes itself in that case after it stops once or twice though

[hollow dagger]

thanks for the answer

ill get back to the game

[bold coral]

does anyone know if you have to beat a new mission to get the new helmet? Or can you just get it by beating any mission?

[blazing yew]

Complete any mission.

[bold coral]

awesome thank you

[blazing yew]

I'm confused... Some people say the place where we play the game is called "Gargantua", but devs call it "Complex"... So which one is it?

[thin pine]

isn't gargantua something else?

[solid spear]

The complex is in Gargantua

Big surprise i think not

[blazing yew]

So what is Gargantua?

[solid spear]

Idk watch a youtube video about it

[blazing yew]

Best answer ever lol

[solid spear]

There are a lot of lore vids discussing it

[solid spear]

Welp i want to go to bed lmao so yeah

[blazing yew]

The best course of action was not saying anything at all then

[finite plinth]

mad

[jaunty bear]

#gtfo-lore is your friend

[solid spear]

Ask @dim ember

[solid spear]

Or this works

[latent obsidian]

People in the #gtfo-lore channel would be better suited to answer but as far as I was aware the complex is called Garganta which is basically a mining operation for iridium but then they find weird stuff and the plot thickens

[jaunty bear]

thats oddly not wrong iirc

lul

[dim ember]

Garganta is "The Complex" -- the place that we drop into. It's built in the Yucatan peninsula, in the Chicxulub crater; the meteor that killed the dinosaurs. It was built as an Iridium mine.

[blazing yew]

Asking where the game is played is considered a lore question?

[jaunty bear]

honestly, yes, because the lore isn't entirely explicit

for general knowledge purposes: your average player won't know, except 'gargantua / complex'

[latent obsidian]

Well the lore isn't laid out neatly, its like dark souls in that you find little snippets and clues in the environment and in item descriptions. (in this case most of the lore is found in terminal logs)

[blazing yew]

Oh, big preesh!

[dim ember]

My pleasure! We do a lot of research, speculation, and theory crafting in the #gtfo-lore community. If you have any other lore-related questions, please feel free to pop by any time! We have a pinned FAQ and short summary of current confirmed lore, as well as a short-and-sweet guide on how to become a lore aficionado like the rest of us over there.

[keen loom]

Whats special damage?

[steel valley]

special weapon damage lol

[keen loom]

yeah was that

whats*

nevermind

i didnt say anything

[warm yew]

Consider hovering

[blazing yew]

Wait until they add "emotional damage" to the game

[lilac fulcrum]

Thought that was already in ;)

[blazing yew]

That would be a good April Fool's joke

[worldly perch]

does anyone have something like a guide for C3 PE? can't get my shit together every time, frequently getting lost in the level..

[viscid wolf]

scalers guide should come out soon enough

let me check is kheprii has one

I mean it's not too bad

[finite stirrup]

go fast

kill tanks fast

yeah that's about my extent of knowledge

just follow those steps and you'll be fine

[viscid wolf]

you'll have to wait a bit, keep checking on professor scaler and the real khepri for their guides

[distant ice]

up up down down left right left right select start

[viscid wolf]

scaler is on B2 guide and khepri is on C1 so should be soon

[stoic breach]

Where is Tingle's D3PE guide

Witchblade's C2 guide

[floral acorn]

where is wesley's hitless c1 solo :(

[stoic breach]

😭

I miss him, even if I never got to play with him.

[finite plinth]

where's the c3 guide

i wanna solo

[hoary wedge]

Is there a handy guide to break points on how much dmg% increase is needed

[finite plinth]

5% dmr 13% hel revolver

there, everything else is not important

[mystic loom]

@finite plinth where is my duo

[finite plinth]

never

[mystic loom]

why dont duo D3

[finite plinth]

game too hard

[mossy aurora]

do you know how much for hel gun to 1 shot strikers to the body?

[mystic loom]

if you can make it, it will be too op

[mossy aurora]

yeah that would be busted

[static kestrel]

hey that new limited hat

can i beat ANY mission or does it have to be one i havent beat

[tiny tundra]

Any mission, you can do A1 with bots and get it

[static kestrel]

LETS GOO

thank yu

love u

[tardy ingot]

24% afaik

[mossy aurora]

i just looked up the weapon stats and yeah thats what i got too

thats not even that much

[floral pecan]

checked the math, i can confirm 24%

[mystic loom]

not that hard lol

[mossy aurora]

thats pretty nuts

[mystic loom]

but where is my ||burst cannon||

[tardy ingot]

yeah its hilariously broken on d3 for example if you do that

[rigid sinew]

nice

[ocean mango]

i have a question about C1, in thethird phase the one with waves, do they all spawn from on place ? like the stares from the room with the cars ?

[floral acorn]

upstairs, behind the 2nd door (small)

2 rooms away

flyers just pop up as they please, stupid meatballs.

[thorn night]

perkele

i'm just drunk and 99% sure you're the first finnish person i've seen in this game so i had to say something

[floral acorn]

check out @clever ginkgo , a very cool customer

[floral pecan]

remember the rule is (90% of the time) 2 rooms away

in C1 that means only trought the security door

[thorn night]

laitelan ismo ja silvennois heikki

:DDDD

[floral pecan]

in this rundown i believe only D3 has set spawns

[floral acorn]

that was a 1000 mark bill

[thorn night]

😄

[floral acorn]

they try to spawn behind players but as c2ext taught us, dont split too wide..

[rigid sinew]

*flashbacks to hybrids spawning in bulkhead key zone*

[floral acorn]

i actually acc set off d2 charger scout at the end of the error bit and the wave spawned on my brother and his 2 bots. smack smack instadeath. youre welcome :)

[thorn night]

@floral acorn do you know if there is any kind of finnish gtfo community out there

[floral acorn]

havemt seen any myself, dunno

[solid spear]

Where is finnish located in the world

Like Europe america where

[thorn night]

it's Finland. and it's located between russia and sweden

[floral acorn]

russia is a tank. finland is its tumor on the left.

[solid spear]

You should probably try the #lfg-eastern-europe #lfg-western-europe channels if you want to find finland people

I had played with i think 1 or 2 in the past

[thorn night]

nah i was just wondering if hirnukuono knew any finnish ppl who play this game cuz they seem to be a rare breed

[floral acorn]

ill dm u some names

[solid spear]

Ah okay

[pseudo jackal]

hello we are on the mission B2 atm and the our bots won't go on the point any ideas on why they don't go on the point?

[tropic ferry]

might be stuck

[thorn night]

@pseudo jackal what point do you mean

[tropic ferry]

press escape, lock the slots they are in then open the slots up again

[pseudo jackal]

nvm we fixed it

ty for the help

[grizzled widget]

new rundown/extention when?

me needs more gtfo

[floral pecan]

We got no dates

I'd expect not too much as they hired a lot of people

[grizzled widget]

wdym not too much

not too much longer?

or what

[fleet vessel]

what else in that context

[floral pecan]

Ah i see what he means.

Not too much longer

In GTFO terms we are talking around a few months doh, if we will get an extention very likely sooner than that

All these are assumptions, there are no official ETAs

[solid spear]

Yeah true

Maybe 2 more months or 3 months

It really depends i guess

I wouldn't get my hopes up for the yellow missions tho

I would assume those take a very long time

[craggy pier]

Is the true name of the flyers "meatballs"

Or flying meatballs

[fleet vessel]

there's no real "true" name

community names go wee

flying spaghetti god monster, meatballs, floaters, etc

meatballs sounds nice

now I want spaghetti with meatballs

[solid spear]

I think the wiki says floaters

[craggy pier]

Can someone explain how to change the text in game to not be all double vision? Its screwing with my dyslexia so fricken bad...

I tried the setting to change it but it just didnt work

[ruby wasp]

You can't

As dumb as it is, you can't

[craggy pier]

Oh great, horrible game design why is there an option to if the option doesnt do shit?

[minor fractal]

It's not a HUD setting?

[craggy pier]

it is

doesnt work

[ruby wasp]

is it ?

[craggy pier]

I even restarted my game and it still didnt apply idk why it wont work

but i cant read ANYTHING

how can a game dev overlook that

thats pathetic

[minor fractal]

Still waiting on blood splatter options in 2022.

[rigid sinew]

I'm waiting for a patch to add triple text

would honestly increase the immersion

@craggy pier I would suggest you try to delete your config files
on my end the setting is working correctly

[craggy pier]

man i JUST downloaded the game how could they be corrupt already xd

[rigid sinew]

the fuck would I know

I'm just trying to help while doing a minuscule amount of trolling alongside

[austere fractal]

I thought terminal text being fucky was tied to your infection level

[rigid sinew]

that too, although it's more than anything a separate effect

I'm pretty sure that effect is not tied to the setting
could be wrong doe

[winged lantern]

when a player loads in mid match, where does the game spawn them? Beginning of the map or the latest checkpoint door?

[warm yew]

Near or on a player

[winged lantern]

oh thats even better

[warm yew]

If they just got disconnected and had to reconnect, they'll spawn on the place they dc'd though

[winged lantern]

got it thx

[rugged dock]

i don't think my ping is that bad currently, but enemies are just sliding everywhere, not like rubber banding but when i shoot them they just slide a couple feet into place. Is that strictly a my connection to the host issue?

[minor fractal]

It can be either. If it's only happening for you, then it's probably on your end.

[minor fractal]

@median glacier

Yo did i mess up something? why is it so dark
Wym?

[median glacier]

im trying post a picture i gotta wait 2mins :/

[minor fractal]

Have you tried double-tapping the esc key?

[median glacier]

havent yet i just relaunched the game but is this a known bug?

[minor fractal]

There's been a bug since R1 where if you have the pause menu open during the drop it makes everything uber dark and also gets rid of the fog.

It fixes itself if you open and close the pause menu.

[median glacier]

Yep that fixed it i was wondering why i was consumed by total darkness for a sec there

Havent played in a hot minute, did they reduce the amount of glowie bois per section? i noticed way less at least in the earlier stages

I vividly remember before 1.0 you could encounter a room with like 20+

[dark oxide]

So my friend just crashed at the last door of our mission and is attempting to rejoin via the lobby id. However, we cant seem to find the option where he can paste it

[minor fractal]

Might just be RNG.

The default enemy group has a lot of variance.

[tacit zealot]

It just depends on the level tbh

Before it was less spread out, where before 1.0 you could get most of a zone’s enemies in 1 zone, where now they have removed that

Or reduced the chance

<@&408548765599793173>

[modest nest]

yoink thank you

[viscid cave]

How are the servers hosted, P2P?

[dapper nimbus]

Yes, the game uses P2P.

[viscid cave]

One more quick question, is there a way for players to see their ping to the host?

[modest nest]

As far as I know there is no way to see the ping, but I reckon it would be a very welcome addition to the game tbh.

[finite plinth]

there was a way

i miss peelz 😭

[distant ice]

They said it was a bug and fixed in R6 that sleepers all get concentrated in one room of a zone instead of spread out

[tacit zealot]

R5A1 z64 moment

[mystic loom]

bruh, i remember a little bit and OH NO

[craggy pier]

So is it just me or is my character getting crippled over 2 inches of air

[tacit zealot]

i have a screenshot of like 18 enemies in the first room of that zone

but the spawn distribution wasnt that bad

[soft thicket]

where can i see my invite code during a game?

[icy cave]

settings

[soft thicket]

thanks boss

[upbeat breach]

How do i do d2 secondary i started the uplink and idk how to verify it says use z02 public code to verify?

[ruby wasp]

You literally asked a few minutes ago on #general

and i already answered you

[warm yew]

Other terminal in zone = code terminal that you get z02 from

[midnight gazelle]

There are two terminals in the room

One is where you input codes

the other is where you read the codes from a log file

[upbeat breach]

I figured it out after being beatrn by a swarm of big black men

[midnight gazelle]

Ah, the bbc's?

wait there are bbc's in secondary uplink?

[ruby wasp]

it's not "there are"

it's only them

lol

[split rock]

just downloaded the game today and did my very 1st mission (A1) and underneath it says "Completed [1 , - , - , -]" what does this mean?

[steel valley]

difficulties/layers, each of those slots represent beating a level with a amount of sectors also completed

however, not every level has the full 3 sectors such as a1, so the 0s are represented with dashes instead

[split rock]

ah k thx

[steel valley]

the first slot is for the main objective, the second for the secondary objective, the third for the overload/tertiary objective and the last is for all 3 in one run

[ruby wasp]

.t sectors

[uneven gulch]

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:
Primary
Secondary
Overload (Third Sector)
Prisoner efficiency (All three Sectors in the same run)

Multiple sectors can be completed at the same time, however you always need to do the Primary/Main sector.

[split rock]

also where can i report people as i dont see a way in game? my very 1st game had someone who must have been hacking, he was speeding around, infinite ammo and just shooting us to down us

[steel valley]

the game has no ban functioanlity lol

rip

[steel valley]

if you can link is to a discord account you can get them banned here

but i'm assuming that was in game matchmaking?

[split rock]

[steel valley]

[split rock]

[steel valley]

np

[finite plinth]

[minor fractal]

Not really what I'm talking about, and what I replied to was still talking about R6 if I'm not mistaken.

[distant ice]

says "before 1.0" in the exact message you replied to kekw

[minor fractal]

Might actually be dyslexic at this point.

Read that as "after"

[warm yew]

You might be hallucinating rather than being dyslexic

[minor fractal]

What if I'm a severe stroke victim in the hospital right now and I don't realize that everything going on is in my head?

[shrewd dirge]

Someone pull the plug.

[warm yew]

Swap the heart rate monitor sound to the vine boom sound

<@&408548765599793173>

gonna feel so bad if one of those is ever actually ledgit

[split rock]

yes, the totally legit "discrod"

[grizzled widget]

crod lmao

didn't mean that one, no

99.999999% of them are BS

[split rock]

funny enough i never get those ones

i get the other scam

[grizzled widget]

most scams get you to download some shit then it's ransomware

[split rock]

yea, thats what i usually get, the "try my new game out for me pls" scam

[grizzled widget]

the .exe

[shrewd dirge]

there was one. but it wasnt destroyed.

[craggy pier]

So I heard a sound while playing and it kinda sounded like what they used in texas chainsaw massacre

It was like a high pitched mechanical noise

[mossy aurora]

That's called tinnitus

Joking aside, maybe it was a fog repeller

[craggy pier]

Ahh it was on a foggy stage so makes sense

I just thought it was neat

[woeful sedge]

loadout reccomendations for c2 secondary?

[topaz anvil]

Shotguns are good

[stoic breach]

Guns you're good with + 2 snipers.

with double sniper sentry

[ruby wasp]

a single sniper should be enough to deal with the wave

[finite plinth]

at least 1 sniper and scatter

[gusty coral]

Game keeps coughing when playing. Sudden freezes from time to time when rendering enemies and killing them. Is this a known issue or something related to my PC? Played 2 days ago and everything was fine before the mask bug fix update.

[finite plinth]

then whatever

[gusty coral]

I have RTX 2070 GPU and Intel Core i7 10th gen CPU so I don't think hardware is the issue.

[floral pecan]

Try in #gtfo-technical-support

[gusty coral]

oh, right Thank you @floral pecan

[sharp atlas]

Hey. On D1 when you need to restart the reactor, is normal that enemy's are always spawning even in the "warming up..." bit? it seams to me that on the in between phases when "warming up" pops up there should not be any enemy's coming or am i wrong?

seems to me like a bug tbh

[neon gust]

Your just speedrunning

[sharp atlas]

what no xd

[woeful sedge]

does fog repeller power booster apply to fog turbine?

[neon gust]

you input the code the second they give it to you

but waves are set

so your doing the objective pretty fast

[sharp atlas]

no we wait untill the last one but there is sometimes no time to wait for the last one

[sharp atlas]

goddamn

fastboi

[ruby wasp]

no

the description says it applies to fog repellers

not fog turbines

[orchid merlin]

hey fellas, any suggestions to tackling d1?

[viscid wolf]

which part are you having trouble on

[orchid merlin]

got as far as the keycard but everything falls apart soon after

[viscid wolf]

uh which is the keycard again

is that the fog zone

[orchid merlin]

the terminal that clears the gas

[viscid wolf]

ah

have you been able to get there?

or just before it

[orchid merlin]

yeah a few times, clearing the noodle boys and dealing with security scans are bit difficult tho

for sure where i struggle the most in that section

[viscid wolf]

ah so you're having trouble on the warden door scan

whats your loadout?

[orchid merlin]

im usually in a team of 4

but i was running revolver sniper

the other were runnning ARs n what not

[viscid wolf]

oh whoops meant tool

[orchid merlin]

the last run i did i was using hammer

sorry for the slow reply was dealing with something

[viscid wolf]

no worries

[orchid merlin]

contemplating spear this time round

or even knife

honestly

[viscid wolf]

also tool as in cfoam, mines, sentry

[orchid merlin]

im so dumb

we run 2 sentrys

1 mine

[viscid wolf]

ahaha it do be like that

[orchid merlin]

1 scanner

[viscid wolf]

mmm that's the preferred loadout

are you pulling the giant room on the top floor?

[orchid merlin]

actually i think a better place to start is

how to better handle the reactor area sequence

[viscid wolf]

ah

have good aim

is probably key

[orchid merlin]

aight opening aimlabs i guess

[viscid wolf]

since the flyers and wave 4 can really mess you up if your team can't do aerial aiming

ahahaha it's not that bad

just know when to fall back

[orchid merlin]

you say that but iim deadass watching the flyers move like deoxys spawning

[viscid wolf]

AHAHAHA

I would say have one burst down for the first 2 waves

and then the second one on the last two

saves some tool

and you know the usual, get ready to shoot at hybrids and giants

play around the stairs if you have to

[neon gust]

Use sentry from wave 2 and onwards for reactor
