/s?

Actually, wouldn't make sense.

[stark mulch]

Sorry that's what I meant

I figured people would automatically assume I meant Hel Revolver

[minor fractal]

...why?

Revo is literally a weapon.

Actually, makes sense in context.

so nvm

[stark mulch]

Bruh the weapon names for this game are just flat out ridiculous sometimes

[minor fractal]

Like the model, or the general name?

[stark mulch]

General name

[minor fractal]

The general names seem pretty fine.

What's ridiculous about them?

[mossy aurora]

any Koning 11 enjoyers?

[minor fractal]

I'm more of an Omneco exp1 enjoyer, myself.

[mossy aurora]

[stark mulch]

So many similar weapons

I say rifle and people don't know if I'm referring to the Bullpup, AR, or even Heavy Assault Rifle

Revolver and people don't know if I'm referring to the Hel Revolver or Revolver Revolver

[neon gust]

I mean you gotta be specific when mentioning the gun, if your talking about revolver then say revo
if your talking about hel revolver just say hel revo

general names are way easier

if you say rifle i would think of the Rundown 3 rifle not really ar

[stark mulch]

I haven't really played this game in any previous rundowns

Anyways

Ye I meant Hel Revolver

[minor fractal]

That shouldn't be that surprising? A bullpup rifle is a bullpup rifle, and assault rifle is an assault rifle, etc. There's no actual overlap outside of machinegun.

Either use the full name or use a shortened name that is specific enough to delineate the exact weapon you mean. If you talk about HEL Revo, specify it since Revo exists. If you talk about the bullpup rifle, shorten it to "bullpup," not "rifle." Even IRL, "rifle" is extremely vague.

[stark mulch]

Yeah yeah I know it's just how I speak sometimes

[zealous mantle]

Question: just about to buy this game is it just a one time play through or does it have replay ability and do you have to grind certain missions for weapons/gear to become better?

[stark mulch]

1. Yes, until next rundown (entire game pretty much resets with a whole new set of missions)

2. No, not at all.

[zealous mantle]

so theres no maps/missions every rundown? when do thoes take place

new^

[stark mulch]

I think like every month or so

[minor fractal]

One time playthrough, but expect to get stuck if you're new.

New rundowns serve as new campaigns, so the "one time" playthrough can be done for each campaign.

[stark mulch]

I forgot the exact time

[minor fractal]

Hahaha, you're funny.

[stark mulch]

I don't play this game very often because it takes takes all damn day to play a single expedition

[wooden osprey]

yeah not any more

[zealous mantle]

thanks

[wooden osprey]

like 1 hour at best

[minor fractal]

Inb4 brute forcing a checkpoint.

[wooden osprey]

R6 has been out for about 6 to 7 months

[zealous mantle]

thats the current set of missins?

[minor fractal]

Yep.

[wooden osprey]

yes

[stark mulch]

Everyone always talks for hours before starting a game

Like bruh shut the fuck up I wanna play

[wooden osprey]

than tell them to dont

easy

[stark mulch]

Tell me your life story after you start the damn game

[wooden osprey]

i join VC i say hello than i start the game (takes 30 seconds) i get the code and join the lobby than we talk about what to take (not for guns but for tools takes about 1 to 4 min) and we drop

[zealous mantle]

do you lose stuff if you die?

[wooden osprey]

overall 10 minutes at the highest unless you get a good gaping buddy

[stark mulch]

Damn must be lucky

[wooden osprey]

no

[wooden osprey]

you said you dont play the game often

[stark mulch]

No, also you don't unlock anything except cosmetics.

[stark mulch]

Ye

Idk

[wooden osprey]

drip moment

[zealous mantle]

so theres never different guns

[stark mulch]

My brain has a hard time working because I'm always over exhausted from my day to day Hell called life

[wooden osprey]

there is

every rundown some weapons change

and new ones get added

and some get removed

[stark mulch]

Rundown Specific weapons

[minor fractal]

They get cycled.

[zealous mantle]

ahh

[minor fractal]

The pool is pretty large, though.

[stark mulch]

Almost all weapons are disappointing and barely work lmao

Either that or Sleepers mega OP

[wooden osprey]

yeah no

[minor fractal]

They're all pretty usable?

[wooden osprey]

after R6 weapons become very good

[minor fractal]

Some are overtuned, some are undertuned, but that's pretty far from "barely work"

[stark mulch]

With the recoil on some of those things I can personally shoot them better in real life

[wooden osprey]

AHHH YES THE NONE EXISTING RECOIL!

WHAT SHOULD I DO

[minor fractal]

MG is genuinely the worst recoil in the game, and it's a popular pick among people who are very good at spray control.

Everything else besides machine pistol is pretty negligible.

[wooden osprey]

Except getting good as in every new game you play the recoil is diff

and you need to get used to it

[wooden osprey]

ok ok i say this and im very proud

this one time

i managed to control the recoil on the MG

and never did again

like full auto aim down sight

[minor fractal]

I've never been good enough at spray transferring to use it well tbh, but it's damn strong.

[stark mulch]

I think when I get to play this game again I'ma test out a few new weapons

[wooden osprey]

👍

[stark mulch]

What's the most ammo efficient gun in the game

[wooden osprey]

depends on how many shots you can land

[minor fractal]

At peak efficiency, machinegun.

[stark mulch]

I can land my shots

[minor fractal]

Revolver is a close second, and much more accessible.

[stark mulch]

Well, sometimes

Sleepers are hard to hit

I hate them

[wooden osprey]

in special revolver and MG

[minor fractal]

Learn their animations.

[stark mulch]

I want to mutilate the sleepers so badly they will look ugly even to the other sleepers

[zealous mantle]

where do i find the join code

[wooden osprey]

#how-to-matchmake

[stark mulch]

I tried the Hel Revolver and actually preferred the pistol better @wooden osprey

Pistol was surprisingly fun to use

[wooden osprey]

did you use it in R6

or R5

[stark mulch]

R6

[wooden osprey]

yes its fun to shoot in R6 but the damage falloff on it is really bad

[minor fractal]

^

You don't have to play the meta, though.

[wooden osprey]

so anything that isn't right next to you will take 3 or 4 (maybe 5 if its really far) shots but this numbers are a guess as i never used the pistol in R6 xD

[neon gust]

Please listen to this

[spark wolf]

i don't think i will

[neon gust]

She give me money

when im in need!

[spark wolf]

u on the cream team?

[soft crater]

👀

[warm yew]

Rifle is also a gun name in this game

[soft crater]

👀 me waiting for the gun Dauda holds in the R5 box art

[dry pumice]

Which rifle, out of many?

[timid vapor]

His much longer is BX-DX open?

[ruby wasp]

What

[timid vapor]

The extra ones on the rundown that get you a mask

[wise thicket]

You still have plenty of time to complete them

[stuck orchid]

Rundown 7 comes out sometime in the summer afaik. That’s when the levels are swapped out, so you still have time

[grizzled widget]

The date on the thing was in June though

On the steam community hub

[ruby wasp]

That's a placeholder

As steam requires you to indicate a date iirc

[grizzled widget]

Still could be a date sometime in June though

June IS the start of summer

☀️

[rigid sinew]

You have too much faith on them mah boi

[grizzled widget]

Rephrase?

What is the "mah"

[rigid sinew]

­my

[grizzled widget]

That doesn't make sense

[rigid sinew]

I forgot an "m" on "them" :troll:

[wise thicket]

We do a little funny talk

[rain python]

What color the inside?

[soft crater]

there is no finalized date. the way steam works they need a date lol.

so they just eye balled a date for june

[strong python]

https://twitter.com/GTFO_The_Warden/status/1521806730979692544
Those stats are from only High or all difficulties?

[inner field]

Probably just any difficulty

[strong python]

Im not that sure about that when i check those stats, thats why Im asking 🙂

[floral acorn]

funny how c3 completed less than d1, was d1 more popular perchance?

[inner field]

I'd assume its any, as its not specified in them

C3 was just so incredibly long, afaik thats what drove people off

[steel valley]

^

[floral acorn]

c2 and c3 both

[inner field]

Yeah, but C3 was particularly known for it

only tools, lots and lots of room

long level in general

my first clear took like 3h

now it takes like 40-50min

and D1 wasnt too bad at all if you didnt do optionals

[floral acorn]

yeah that figures.. someone please make a nice excel graph, the difference between a* and d* for example would be a good visual

[inner field]

you mean like with completion numbers?

[floral acorn]

yeah, attempts / clears

wouldn't be more than 10min but can't rn

[inner field]

also one thing which i wish was clearer

is whether the amount of prisoners that have 'cleared' an expedition

are unique players

or is it just overall completions

cuz 1681 for R5E1 doesnt sound like it would only be from a single group of players

like idk

[stuck orchid]

I feel like it’s also due to how c3 was only available after extension, when d1 was available from the start. Some people probably didn’t even bother to play extension, hence the lower numbers for c3

[floral acorn]

i suspect it's just clears, not unique.. like said, c3 d1 .. i'd assume ppl who cleared d1 did c3 before it etc

very good point thanks

[inner field]

this too

[steel valley]

it's overall iirc

[inner field]

well we dont know, thats the thing

isnt really specified

we can only assume

[steel valley]

pretty sure doc said it ages ago

around the time r2 stats came out

might be misremembering tho

[inner field]

We can always just ask him directly, see if he has any info on it

[floral acorn]

very good point about the ext, a3 has way less than b1 etc

[inner field]

@lilac fulcrum Can you confirm whether or not the 'No. of prisoners successful: insert number here' for each expedition are 'unique' players, or is it just overall 'completions', as listed in the warden report?

[distant ice]

overall

been asked and answered in previous rundowns

[floral acorn]

now somehow to tie in the attempts / clears into a graph, in expedition release order..

[distant ice]

whole rundown released at once wdym

[floral acorn]

extension

[inner field]

Yeah extended levels

[distant ice]

so you'll have 2 bars, 1 from initial, 1 from ext, compare, and say "yeah this is due to the release date"

[floral acorn]

was r5ext a3 b4 c3 d2 e1 ?

[inner field]

A3: Mining, B4: Diversion, C3: Starvation, D2: Error and E1: KDS Deep, yeah

1 new for each tier + 1 E level

[distant ice]

R5 initial had E tier

just 0 levels in it

kekw

[inner field]

[minor fractal]

Permafoam simulator.

[minor fractal]

I'm 90% sure we go an answer, and it was total clears (in a quad, every player counts as 1, so 4 total). Attempts is apparently literally any time the expedition is loaded.

[fickle mulch]

was c3 the one with the shadows

[inner field]

C3 was dual uplink and mainly centered around you not getting any ammo

but tons of tool

[floral acorn]

c2 had shadows w/ cell zones and their alarms

[fickle mulch]

ah ok then i dont think i ever played c3 unfortunately

[floral acorn]

c3 class vii m was the breakpoint

permafoam if rng allowed ofc

[desert falcon]

Sniper sentry with cpu speed 🙂

[inner field]

Very scrumptious

[floral acorn]

c2 extract, mommy and 2 scouts..

ahhhhh

[stuck orchid]

Lol I remember just simply not caring and running through the mom and scouts since we all had bioscan speed

[floral acorn]

made overload a bit shorter i presume

[stuck orchid]

Yeah, only had 1 tank in overload

[sudden burrow]

C3 I honestly really enjoyed

[minor fractal]

C3 secondary was pretty cool, but most of the build-up was the big snooze.

[sudden burrow]

understandable

[inner basalt]

Does the number of dispatched prisoners mean

1. Each attemt = one prisoner dispatched
2. Each player counts as one, no matter how many times they attempt the level?

[floral acorn]

i would guess option 1

team of 4 drop in, all 4 count.. each time they survive, +4 to the totals

[fickle mulch]

its not unique plays, we know that, but I'd imagine it counts as one person

not by attempts (like 1 prisoner = 1 attempt) but rather by players (1 prisoner = 1 solo attempt)

[floral acorn]

i agree on the suggestion of unique stats, would be great to know how many unique players have finished a level

[distant ice]

Team of 4 people dropping in is +4 to the count

No it's not unique

And it might even be that checkpoints count as separate attempts

That last one is not confirmed though

As for unique stats it's been asked for but nothing

Same as every other suggestion

[cerulean moth]

Community icebreaker time!!!! I’m bored okay?

What’s you’re overall favorite prisoner? Lore, voice work, dialogue, vibes, pick one that best encompasses these the most for you!

- Woods
- Dauda
- Hackett
- Bishop

Personally I love Bishop purely because he’s the most pathetic out of all of other’s

[cerulean moth]

Just some dirty rat that refuses to lie down

[soft crater]

Schaeffer*

I would vote hackett

but no shirtless hackett yet

[cerulean moth]

What is with your fascination with Hackett’s abs?

[soft crater]

what a stupid question

Shirtless Hackett or nothin

[cerulean moth]

Warden guide me

[viscid wolf]

shirtless hacjet

oh someone beat me to it

fuck

[cerulean moth]

what is with this community—

[viscid wolf]

shut up I'm not gay you're gay

[cerulean moth]

Correct

But at least I don’t have a fascination for criminals

[maiden cypress]

criminals are more interesting than law abiding citizens 😊

who wants to hear about a guy in his office doing taxes

[cerulean moth]

But

hackett killed like 50 civilians

[maiden cypress]

it's fucked ya but that doesn't deter fascination (:

[cerulean moth]

This is some “I can fix him” bs

[viscid wolf]

people listen to true crime podcasts all the timr

[cerulean moth]

NFJVKZKVNXKC

[maiden cypress]

no man it's some i wanna see him do more fucked up shit kinda bs

[cerulean moth]

JCJVJZMCCV

[viscid wolf]

uwu

[soft crater]

Shirtless hackett

Is shirtless hackett

You're either a believer or another normie gtfo player

[wise thicket]

Shirtless Hackett with a backpack and pouches infused with his skin

[silent slate]

I thought ABC was gonna talk about a sexy hackett skin but nvm lol

[spark wolf]

shirtless hackett with a shirt

[tight drum]

#community-news message btw @shadow flower is E tier shaping up to be amazing? Have you seen it yet?

[floral acorn]

i'm sure he tried it and in a few days' time he'll finally quit screaming

[austere geyser]

Question, does your position in the squad designate what types of boosters you get? because it always seems with me nd my squad that position 1 gets main and spec weapon damage, position 2 gets sentry, and position 3 gets C-foam boosters

[floral acorn]

shouldnt be tied to pos in my experience, my bro does some arty hunting solo and he's getting all sorts as woods, kinda rng'y tho

[austere geyser]

weird, all rundown 6 and the ext thats been what we've been getting

[floral acorn]

cant ofc definitively deny, havent read the code.. interesting observation tho, if consistently so

[tight drum]

lol

[regal abyss]

Underneath A1 It says "Completed [X, - , - , - ]" What do the other dashs mean? I understand that the first is how many times I've done A1

[warm yew]

It just means there's no other sectors in that level

.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.

[regal abyss]

ohh, okay, thank you. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't skipping over anything

[hexed silo]

can you c foam armored meatballs?

[floral acorn]

nope, all *balls un-foamable

[soft crater]

Cant c foam teammates.

Smh. Unplayable

[topaz willow]

just a question ive been thinking about, for chargers and big chargers when shooting them is it still worth it to go for their heads or is it more efficient shoot their body

[noble sierra]

Not worth shooting the head.

[sudden burrow]

there’s no difference between head and body for chargers

[tight drum]

I'd go for limbs on big chargers for the stagger unless I had a shotgun. The spikes basically act as armor so the only extra damage they take is back damage. No head multiplier.

[soft crater]

technically you can still get headshot staggers.

just no headshot damage

[plain crescent]

Any advice for D1. First group got stuck on the reactor defense and 2nd people were so burnt out by the final security door everyone had given up lol is it always a pain in the ass misson

[rigid sinew]

Don't die :p

[compact pebble]

^

D1 reactor shouldn't be giving you any troubles

[rigid sinew]

The reactor defense is pretty easy as long as you have a sentry and are shooting the enemies proactively since once you clear a wave it doesn't spawn another one for a certain time

[compact pebble]

sounds like a skill issue if you are struggling D1 reactor xd

[rigid sinew]

Some people like to use double sentry (or an optional 3rd sniper sentry)

But imo its kinda overkill

[noble sierra]

If you made to D1 already, there's no really one big tip can help you dramatically, there's like 1000 small things you gotta learn by playing more.

[rigid sinew]

How2kite reactor :ujel:

[icy nacelle]

I can understand dying to the tank for example if you're completely unfamiliar with facing them, but like the rest of the reactor is pretty chill. Tank shouldn't even be hard, just a surprise.

Just make sure you're stocking up on resources prior to starting it and grabbing/using the spares between waves. Simple as that.

[mossy aurora]

tank can be hard if you dont know how to fight him. i remember multiple newer groups saying they ran out of ammo fighting him on d1 and had to hammer it

presumably because they were just shooting the front

[icy nacelle]

Yeah sounds like it.

I was lucky enough that when my group met him (having never encountered one before), I was familiar enough with it to guide them to shoot the back.

[tight drum]

Sniper sentry is better for tool efficacy if you run out of tool also for big guys if you're sniper isn't super good. Just shoot the enemies and make sure everyone is doing their jobs( if no Sniper sentry have sniper rifle shoot big guys accurately. hel weapons for grouped up waves. autos for holding or stragglers. dmr and other precision weapons for shooters and flyers) shouldn't be too hard at all. For the last alarm you just have to communicate and work together aren't any doors so just cover each other and move as quickly as you can. I don't know what to do about people getting burned out that quickly. Maybe play with people who have more stamina?

[soft crater]

remembers a new guy who saw it in D1 for the first time and he just went full auto on it with his mg

[tight drum]

really?

You'd think they'd understand when the gray hit markers keep appearing

[icy nacelle]

You'd think.

[soft crater]

some new players don't adapt that quickly-

[mossy aurora]

i've seen multiple people unload full mags on a c-foam tripmined tank to the front in d3, its not that surprising newer players would do that

[icy nacelle]

Some folks don't catch on that fast.

[soft crater]

I still cringe when new players call them zombies

[tight drum]

I remember in our first tank fight we all shot about a mag before we realized it was doing nothing and figured out another strat

[compact pebble]

exactly

[tight drum]

I love how people just call every enemy that isn't fully human a zombie

I mean I don't. I hate it.

[soft crater]

well at least those new players got to D1 unlike the last trainers I played with.

They were training fresh new players straight to C3

[icy nacelle]

But.. why tho.

[soft crater]

i don't even know.

[mossy aurora]

teach them to shoot before teaching them stealth mechanics

[soft crater]

once we did a normal mission they just ran in trying to kill everything

and they woke up room after room

= - =

[tight drum]

Some people man. But to be fair even with people playing all the levels that doesn't mean they know how to play. So many times they get carried by high level players who teach them that way.

[icy nacelle]

I mean.. I can't argue with that.

[soft crater]

despite us telling them to take it much slower (This is partially because the trainers kept stand walking everywhere

[tight drum]

I can't do A1 pubs anymore i just get so mad at all the other teachers lol

[soft crater]

and I told the guy to not do that until he gets better at stealth

[icy nacelle]

That's pretty much the case with me and my two mates. There's me who atleast has some kind of grasp of what to do and whatnot, and then there's my buddies who still fail at even some of the most simple tasks.

[rigid sinew]

Teach them to read their god damn screen before
"what do I do now? I've been searching for a key for 1 hours now and I still can't find it"
there literally appears big bright red as fuck text saying to use a terminal and ping it *dies of cringe*

[icy nacelle]

Honestly I'd pay money to see my mates try to teach new players.

[soft crater]

idk the last few #lfg-beginners training pubs I've joined are either hard carries or guys who are very misinformed on the mechanics of the game

[tight drum]

and I think that info is already too much lol

i miss the total feeling of confusion trying to figure out what to do

[soft crater]

no one reads the top left corner of their screen

= - = . . . .

at least the newer players until I point it out to them

[icy nacelle]

I am trying to teach my mates that they can use tab to type commands faster. It's.. not going well.

[tight drum]

really helped the fear level in my early day to have to figure out everything myself with no big hints

[soft crater]

this is funny because there will be guys who aren't willing to learn how to use the terminals

[rigid sinew]

Become linux user

[tight drum]

Plus seems weird that the warden is teaching us how to type. We're soldiers made for this stuff. it's fun to figure it out.

[rigid sinew]

Install doom on the gtfo terminal

[soft crater]

linux users actually have pretty bad frames this rundown in the other dimension I've heard

desert

[rigid sinew]

Who doesn't have bad frames in GTFO

[soft crater]

no like

Linux users specifically this rundown get especially bad frames

10fps

[rigid sinew]

Shesh

[soft crater]

even though his pc is by no means poor mans machine

[icy nacelle]

That is one of my friends.

[rigid sinew]

Do wonder what specs we are looking at doe

Some linux users really like (or have) to play on grandma hardware

[icy nacelle]

He outright refuses to use them.

My other mate will atleast try, but he also uses it like my mother.

I can literally hear him slowly hitting each individual key.

[soft crater]

the thing I despise about some people who don't wanna learn terminals. They will also be pretty bad at gunplay

[tight drum]

I do use Linux just not for gaming.

[soft crater]

I've done several D2's and they can't do terminals in secondary but then they can't really hold off waves either

[icy nacelle]

I mean, my mates are bad at everything. The one who refuses to learn terminals absolutely is the worst of us at gunplay, though I hesitate to fully blame him on that since he has a bad set-up.

[soft crater]

me who used to play on like a 3x3 space for my mouse

on laptop

I gamed on one of those foldable dinner tables

[icy nacelle]

He plays on a crappy laptop and also puts up with some lag, though the latter I don't really give it to him as I also have lag (especially recently, but I can't resolve it) and for the most part I'm doing fine.

[soft crater]

lag this rundown and especially if it's with people in different regions

can't trust connection to be smooth

one of my friends plays from latin-america and we get major de-sync whenever he hosts

[minor fractal]

Sniper melee moment.

[soft crater]

but it's fine if one of us in the US hosts

[soft crater]

it's beeg sadge fr

[icy nacelle]

Only issue for me is desync really, sometimes enemies end up glowing continuously and I'm getting "fake" kills now and again. Only became a noticeable problem lately and is in line with my internet just going to crap for everything, but I can't fix it for a few months atleast.

[soft crater]

Me: I should've avoided that.

Titan: heh. Sniper melee go Smack

ah the lagging pulse phases

pain

that shits annoying on D3 tank room

[neon gust]

Gotta love how you can see shooter projectile first before they actually peak around the corner

[icy nacelle]

I can live with it for the most part, except when I'm genuinely asking if someone is glowing or not and no one is answering me.

[soft crater]

Hybrids around corner. *

Hybrid barrage comes out of mid air where and hits us

[thorny creek]

Gotta love how I can get hit by enemies that haven't spawned yet.

Jk it only happened once.

[weary mesa]

Just be host OMEGALUL

[minor fractal]

Solo is the definitive version of GTFO, this must be why they added bots.

[soft crater]

when people say Gtfo too hard so they go play R6 Extraction

kek

[neon gust]

be host

tell people it sucks to be them

sounds like a you problem

😔

[icy nacelle]

I've proposed it, they don't want to.

[soft crater]

if only my bots could 360 jump spin RKO no scope critical SMASH the scout head

smh

[icy nacelle]

If only my bots could stop trying to melee the bloody enemies instead of shooting them.

[soft crater]

when they never wanna melee and shoot instead

[thorny creek]

When people say GTFO too hard and then work on an entire essay saying it is bad and targeting literally everything and everyone involved

Steam Forums moment.

[icy nacelle]

Steam forums smh.

[soft crater]

reminds me of that one guy who kept shitting on gtfo for months and refutes everyone's comebacks with pointless remarks

[rigid sinew]

No thanks, it is more expensive than gtfo (for me)

[soft crater]

gamepass*

[icy nacelle]

^

[soft crater]

it isn't worth buying fully lol

[rigid sinew]

Gaypass smh

[soft crater]

suskat

[icy nacelle]

It really feels like something that should've just been like, an optional DLC For Siege. It's just reskinned T-Hunt after all.

[soft crater]

game pass is nice if you wanna tryout a bunch of games without buying them

or before buying I should say

[soft crater]

I despise the people who say it's almost as difficult as GTFO

[thorny creek]

I still remember that post on the Steam Forums of this guy having an emotional rant on why he hated scout invulnerability frames and how it was making him go nuts

[icy nacelle]

How tho.

[soft crater]

me: imagine getting a suppressor

[rigid sinew]

I have seen at least 4 of those

[thorny creek]

Honestly, reading the GTFO steam forums is pretty entertaining, and interesting too.

[rigid sinew]

And pretty cringe

[soft crater]

👀 .

[icy nacelle]

Just learn how to kill Scouts smh.

[soft crater]

need to get gud bat scunt killing

[thorny creek]

Some people take this game waaaaaaaaaaay too seriously.

Like they think only the most serious, dedicated and hardcore players play this game, as if this was an Arma 3 clan or something

[icy nacelle]

Tbf, that exists for any game.

[soft crater]

LF> serious minecraft players

[rigid sinew]

Pro minesweeper e-sports players only

I've had a guy panicking and shouting at us every single time we woke up a room with 3 enemies, saying that we could've doomed the run or something.

[soft crater]

ironically my house already has Illagers invading

[thorny creek]

Dang, I could go about telling all these stories all day, lol.

[soft crater]

I had a guy who sniped the scout because the music played for a second when I was doing a double kill

and he woke the second scout in the area

[icy nacelle]

One of my mates is basically only a few steps away from that.

[rigid sinew]

Doomed run
3 enemies
ngl sounds like sissue

[thorny creek]

That's what happens when you take the game too seriously.

[soft crater]

my one friend who paniks when I walk the longest I can just before the titans start 2nd phase pulsing

[icy nacelle]

He'll feel insulted if I so much as hint that he's doing something wrong/poorly, but has nothing to hold him back from giving me crap even if I've done nothing wrong.

[soft crater]

the only time I despise people doing this is when they do around new players and they attempt to copy it only to fail every time

[soft crater]

rip

[icy nacelle]

He's so quick to jump to "It's impossible, you can't do that" as well if something fails even once. This is especially entertaining as he shuns the idea of practice or experimenting with stuff.

[thorny creek]

I remember that one guy that was bashing on the game for being so insanely hard, saying that it was totally impossible to beat it, saying it needed more checkpoints, more ammo, stuff like that. It was an entire rant saying that the game itself was absurdly difficult, and that he couldn't think of anyone that could find the fun in that. He was stuck on C1, struggling with the error.

[soft crater]

... this is funny to many of the experienced players since this rundown is well. easier

[icy nacelle]

I did thoroughly enjoy telling him if he knows better he should try to take action first, which lead to us standing in the DX Scout room for half an hour without even descending the first set of stairs. I dunno, while I felt braincells dying watching it I was also just laughing so much I had to mute my mic.

[soft crater]

and well C1 error can be difficult for newer players since it's their first error and not exactly sure what they need to do

assuming they only do the story levels first

[rigid sinew]

When the playerbase's extreme skill poles encounter it becomes really funny

[thorny creek]

Some people really expect an Aliens: Fireteam Elite kind of shooter in this game sometimes

[soft crater]

Fr

that game I refunded after like 2 matches.

:/

[thorny creek]

I hate the fact that every time I reveal myself as an experienced player to a group of new players their immediate reaction is trashing me for existing

[icy nacelle]

I imagine that goes hand-in-hand with an over-exaggerated view of their abilities.

[soft crater]

I dislike the half baked players who know the basics but not the specifics and tell me every fact I tell them is wrong

guy who refused to believe me when I said auto pistol isn't in this rundown and he was using the Machine pistol which is a entirely different weapon

and he asked me at the end if auto pistol. If I was referring to the shelling "pistol"

facepalm

[icy nacelle]

Even when I'm trying to explain certain stuff to my mates I pretty much always "As I understand it, x = y, but don't tke that as fact". If I can, I also try to test stuff pretty extensively, like half of my (low) playtime is probably just jumping into stuff to test it.

And then one thing goes wrong and suddenly, "You can't do that, it's not possible and so on".

[soft crater]

kek

[icy nacelle]

I had to repeatedly explain to one of them that yes, you absolutely can kill a Big Striker in stealth, it simply doesn't help when you end up bonking the wall and waking the friggin' Scout.

[waxen jetty]

call them pub cuck and altf4 if they refuse to listen

[shadow flower]

I’ve heard giggles from the level designer!

[tight drum]

Lol I'm just imagining Simon laughing manically in the back of your office

[jaunty bear]

F E A R

[raven moth]

new player here. where can we expect new rundown to be released?

[desert falcon]

Next Rundown will be released in the Summer and they just updated the roadmap. Can't really narrow it down more tho

[raven moth]

thats good enough. Dont have much time to complete all missions

[desert falcon]

Good luck ^^

[raven moth]

what is considered the hardest one in this rundown?

[desert falcon]

Hm, probably D3 doing all objectives

[maiden cypress]

depends on what you find hard really

[desert falcon]

My team had a harder time with Dx for example than with D3.

[maiden cypress]

DX has no frames (:

[tiny tundra]

Personally I find D4 the hardest but D3 PE can also be really rough

[noble sierra]

D3 PE/D4/DX probably have similar difficulties.

[raven moth]

well looking forward to completing them 😄

[tiny tundra]

Good luck! 😌

[tardy ingot]

DX certainly doesnt feel of similar difficulty lol

Everything up til the end is D1 level. The ending is challenging enough yes, but not so much that it gets into D3PE or D4 territory imo

[warm yew]

DX is pay to win

Pay for better specs for better frames

[kind ember]

i really wana play this game but my friends are too scared to play, is this a game where i could play with randos or does it basically require a squad?

[warm yew]

Randos are fine as long as you're okay with usually getting carried and not know what you're doing

And a sometimes misinfo about how the game works

[kind ember]

thanks for getting back to me! i can do research too to learn more

[bright crater]

gtfo sleeper dating sim when?

[warm yew]

For the best experience, don't ask about snipermelee

: )

[kind ember]

lol

[scenic lion]

hey when im matchmaking people spam 1 2 3 in lobby chat

what do they mean?

[weary mesa]

Their ping to you

[scenic lion]

i still dont get

like they just say 1 sometimes

or 1 2 3 sometimes

[floral acorn]

they type 1 press enter, if it takes too long to go thru, they deem latency too high and they leave

test their ping like so

[shadow flower]

Always

[past matrix]

Can the bots perform stealth kills?

[compact pebble]

yes

[latent obsidian]

Depends what you mean really. You can't instruct them to melee sleeping enemies or coordinate with you on that. But they will shoot enemies that are just waking up and their gunfire can't alert other sleepers

[past matrix]

Thanks yeah i was hoping they could kill sleeping enemies with me

Also any gun recommendations? Seems every gun i use is either low ammo or low damage

[mossy aurora]

That's called weapon balancing

[cobalt breach]

This might sound like a simple answer, but all of them are quite viable. Some guns do perform better in certain situations than others, but I wouldn't say that any gun in the game is currently "a horrible choice."

What are you preferences? Would help me recommend something that might be right up your alley.

[past matrix]

Id prefer something semi auto due to the lack of ammo so i tried the dmr and it felt very inaccurate

So now im just using the burst rifle but i want some that does more damage

[distant ice]

All guns accuracy is ass unless you're in sights

[past matrix]

I was

[distant ice]

You can try pistol
Or the busted version of it, hel rev

[past matrix]

The dmr sights kept going to the left of my screen or just not working completely

I will give Pistols a try

[distant ice]

Never seen this

[past matrix]

I will get you a screenshot if it happens again

Sometimes when i aim in the sight is on the left of my screen

[compact pebble]

it's the bug where the ADS is not on center of screen

reload to fix it

[floral acorn]

every gun works, playstyles and preferences differ.. but if u "snipery" then dmr is strong, also helgun chokemod sniper.. if u wanna go brrr then any primary and har or machinegun are oossum

scopes going left after using a syringe fixed by one shot and a reload

[sudden burrow]

Oh I’ve seen that ADS bug yeah, it’s funky

[lavish pier]

im doing the extended missions right now and im stuck i have no idea how to get the passwords from the terminals

i think i have to check logs but im not sure what im looking for

can i get some help?

[desert falcon]

Yeah, check the mentioned terminal with "Logs" and then open the one that has a name like Key01_234.Log with "Read"

[lavish pier]

ok it reads a long list im not sure what im suppose to take from all of that

[desert falcon]

Hm, the correct log should only be like a few lines long

[lavish pier]

is the password always a certain length?

[desert falcon]

Yeah its always 4 letters. Sometimes you get the full 4 letters in one log and sometimes you get only a single one and need to find multiple terminals

I'm assuming you are playing BX. In that case, you only complete 4 letter passwords.

[lavish pier]

im doing the second extended level

[desert falcon]

Ah ok, then you will have to find 4 terminals with 1 letter each

[lavish pier]

ok thanks so much for the help!

[lyric ledge]

hello new to the game, does shooting more c-foam into an already c-foamed door make it last longer?

say, if it hasn't been touched yet

[sudden burrow]

Not if it hasn’t been touched

To my knowledge there’s basically a maximum c-foam threshold

[lyric ledge]

ohh I see

Thanks

[sudden burrow]

(a full burst is technically over that threshold)

[floral acorn]

yeh 9 blobs, freeze effect, additionals are wasted.. when they start banging tho, it can be refoamed (permafoam) as the existing blobs on door start going away

[lyric ledge]

Thanks

Also

If there are 2 feelers in one room and I freeze one, if I shoot the unfrozen one, will the frozen one still wake up?

[floral acorn]

nope

frozen enemies are deaf

but hurt a frozen one non lethally and she will sing the song of her people when she thaws

[lyric ledge]

Gotcha

[floral acorn]

if u manage to freeze a scout, just melee it to death if able

foaming floor on scouts path so it walks over 2-3 blobs very effective also, lay a "glue trap" so to speak

[grizzled widget]

if in your loadout you could only pick one gun and two tools, which would you pick?

[floral acorn]

har biotracker burstsentry

[desert falcon]

Hel Revolver, Biotracker, Mines

[grizzled widget]

personally, i'd probably go with HAR and Shotgun Sentry x2

[floral acorn]

never tried shotsen.. but like any sentry, a class v or beyond will be tool hungry, i'd imagine 2x shotsen clicking empty fast ish

self sufficient mines foam combo would be the soloist dream ig

[grizzled widget]

definitely

[viscid wolf]

song of her people

my favorite tune

[rigid sinew]

har, foam and mines

[mystic loom]

Sawned off + auto sen x 2

Ammo inefficiency

[tight drum]

sawed off isn't that bad in terms of efficiency

[mystic loom]

The premise is that you can one shot

But when you can one shot

How close to the enemy

[viscid wolf]

is that another bafger

[mystic loom]

How much enemy in front of you when you have like only one weapon

[maiden cypress]

i use sawed off just for big boys or spamming into big crowds B)

[mystic loom]

I am not his alt

I just his frd

[viscid wolf]

fast redeploy?

[mystic loom]

I just help him post or comment if he want

[viscid wolf]

oh

[mystic loom]

And tell him all the hilarious thing happened

That’s my job

[viscid wolf]

nothing funny goes on in gtfo servers

maybe except amas

[waxen jetty]

badger was the only funny thing in this server

[viscid wolf]

me

me

me

[worthy siren]

i found a twitch streamer streaming r1 where do i report him?

[inner field]

it isn't really something you can report them for, unless they're ya know. Sharing it on this server :)

[worthy siren]

ok

[pearl badger]

why would you report him though

🤔

snitches get stiches you know

[compact pebble]

bruh why lmao

mans can't even play gtfo nowadays 😔

[wary linden]

funny how a man playing older rundowns would snitch on oher people for doing the same 🤔
also pretty sure it is now considered as "modded" so as long as you aren't doing it in the main discord it's fine 🤷

[maiden cypress]

it is kinda funny

[compact pebble]

yea mans just minding his own business and is gonna get reported lmao

[warm yew]

I wouldn't put playing old rundowns modded since its just an older version of the game someone downloaded

People just put modded because uwu me plae old rundown

[compact pebble]

they don't want you to play old rundowns anyways

might as well be modded lmao

[wary linden]

well it is an indication that what they are currently playing is not the current vanilla state of the game

[waxen jetty]

oh nooo our players are not allowed to grind gtfo and get good at the game

[warm yew]

Then comes people asking in modding server where they can download the older rundowns lmao

[soft crater]

Me tryna play a modded rundown that has shirtless hackett in it

but that doesn't exists sadly

smh...

[topaz anvil]

😔

[topaz anvil]

For sure, but at the same time, its more of a grey area. Neither community (10cc or modding devs) want or encourage playing old rundowns

[wary linden]

they better make r7 fun to replay then... cause that's the general cause for a lot of people to go back and replay the older ones :/

[topaz anvil]

Bold of you to assume old content is fun

[soft crater]

[wary linden]

idk but compare to how much hours i put into r4 alone... this current rundown i haven'T reached 1/8th of the time i spent in r4

[soft crater]

they don't have shirtless hackett so they aren't worth my time

[soft crater]

😐

[topaz anvil]

Shirtless hackett coming with the summer dlc we all know this

[soft crater]

It's about drive. It's about power.

We stay hungry

[topaz anvil]

Shirtless hackett along with shirtless schaeffer

[soft crater]

We devour (Shirtless hackett)

[topaz anvil]

I should get my laundry in

[maiden cypress]

what if it is tho 😳

[trim rock]

What the dog doin'

[scenic bay]

Has there ever been any kind of like. Main menu manual so you can see mechanics and such? Or some kind of tutorial? I ask because a lot of my friends who are new are a tad disgruntled that it just throws you into it without explaining anything.

[desert falcon]

Not in game but you can check out these videos to get you started
.t tutorial

Hm

.t tutorial

[uneven gulch]

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.

[desert falcon]

There we go

[weary mesa]

R7 gonna leave the text box at the center of your screen until you do what is says so you actually read it and don't skip it

[scenic bay]

Ah

[topaz anvil]

Fr, who knew that it was so hard to read :^)

[rigid sinew]

Imagine all priority missions had tutorial text

Big red text while kiting an E1 alarm :troll:

[topaz anvil]

Ur a big red text

[lavish pier]

best loadout for the extended level CX?

[wooden osprey]

auto sentry-scattergun-any primes (for single loadout ofc)

mines help alot

[lavish pier]

thanks

[wooden osprey]

np for the most part everything is viable for weapons

[wooden osprey]

for tools i say mines-auto sentry-BIO TRACKER FOR SURE-CFOAM

[lavish pier]

ok, and also how do i stop that second power supply restart alarm

[wooden osprey]

do you want full answer

or clues

[lavish pier]

the first i put in a code

using many terminals

[wooden osprey]

VILLIGER DONT SAY ANYTHING

[lavish pier]

the second have no clue what to do

[thorny creek]

Anything

[lavish pier]

i ended up dying

[thorny creek]

Sorry couldn't stop myself

[wooden osprey]

....toche

[wooden osprey]

ok ok do you want me to give you an straight answer

or the funny answer

[lavish pier]

maybe a strong clue idk maybe im really dumb

[wooden osprey]

well if you already know how to find the codes

fallow the path of the the crazed one (Schaeffer) to his secret room

if you dont know how, the answer is

Blood+door

[lavish pier]

oki so is the second one a lot of terminals or one terminal

[wooden osprey]

find the first terminal in the first zone

it will explain the rest

[lavish pier]

alrighty

[wooden osprey]

(you said give clues so yeah)

[wooden osprey]

Good luck!

[lavish pier]

thanks!

[craggy pier]

Can it be that the difficult is higher in coop as in solo run? Maybe "AX", i can get alone to the checkpoint save but in coop its an real fight!

[icy cave]

It is always balanced for 4 players, so it should be harder solo 😅

Your teammates must be...... interesting

[hoary wedge]

people cant aim

[opal bridge]

On C3, is it the opening of Main that triggers the fog to begin rising, or countdown itself?

[floral acorn]

countdown

[opal bridge]

okay thank you

[pearl nimbus]

You'll find that bots have very good aim with certain weapons so they'll outperform the average shooter. But where they start to drop off is with specialty guns (Snipers, Shotties, Penetrating Rounds) and setting up good chokepoints. So while you might have an easier time with bots on open ground areas with lots of open firing vectors you'll start to really feel the burn with bots when you have to do complicated objectives or you need to hold areas that are shaped oddly (or not wide open).

Or in other words you might have trouble at first with your teams shot percentages not being as high as bots but you'll quickly find up that tactics and being able to make callouts/adapt on the fly will easily make up for the better aim %

[distant ice]

i barely use bots but from what little i saw it looked like they'll start spamming their weapon as fast as possible and turn at a limited speed

possibly wasting everything without hitting a shot depending on how the enemy is moving

[pearl nimbus]

Sometimes they just start popping rounds off way too early. I think the AI "sees" the enemy but it's through walls or up/down elevation and the shots just get wasted. It's usually not too bad but I did have a couple times were they all just started blasting nothing 🤣

[distant ice]

haunted by their previous lives

sanity mechanic is real for bots

[iron fjord]

what are some good balanced full squad loadouts?

[mossy aurora]

primaries dont really matter, but for specials, a sniper, 2 hel guns and a macine gun/ heavy AR, or sniper + 2 machine guns/heavy ARs + hel gun

for tools, one of each is very versatile, you can swap things out for specific missions if you feel like some tools are unnecessary

[dense crown]

For those who read the user agreement, do you get banned if you join a modded expedition unknowingly?

[maiden cypress]

can't really join one and not know 👁️

[steel valley]

i dont think there even is proper ban functionality lmao

[wise thicket]

Vac banned for playing a modded rundown

[dense crown]

What's Vac?

[neon gust]

Hes trolling

You cannot get banned

[inner field]

[neon gust]

They just pulling your leg

Yoy really think they have time to ban people?

[inner field]

Also in a PvE game

just dont make much sense

[neon gust]

They can barely even get people in their own lfgs kekw

Also pve

[dense crown]

True

[neon gust]

Ye

Your fine

If you wanna play modded please visit ums
Read Rule 12

[dense crown]

Thanks for the info

[neon gust]

See you there

[spark wolf]

i literally got trolled so hard in matchmaking yesterday cuz the dude cheating also had something that changes his name for each lobby

we were missing a 4th so we matchmake again and that made his name change

so we thought the one dude just kept getting replaced with someone else

he gave us like 100 aggressive artifacts tho

[topaz anvil]

burh

[spark wolf]

but the game froze so i didn't actually get anything

[topaz anvil]

😔

What a shame

[mint cedar]

Anyone got any tips for the moving scan towards the end of C1?

[tardy ingot]

remember where they spawn from. (2 rooms away, in the small room upstairs). Place burst sentries at the top facing the entrance.
Makes it a lot easier

if you have a mine (and cfoam) mine and cfoam the small door

[stuck orchid]

A good balance of crowd control weapons + a hel gun would be best for that scan. 2 machineguns does wonders.

I really suggest a bio tracker so you can see which way they go down and have your team focus fire in that direction. And what dark said, put a sentry at the top to chip down their health or even kill some of them.

[mint cedar]

Perfect. Cheers guys. 😄

[stuck orchid]

Best of luck!

[tardy ingot]

while i agree in a way. Hel gun and machine gun are really wacky to use for beginners. Heavy ar is a lot easier to pick up. (Also hel gun value is pretty low on the t-scan due to enemys rarely lining up)

definetly agree on bio tho!

[stuck orchid]

True, you can experiment with the different weapons to see which one you guys are the best with. A gun is only as best as the person handling it

[tardy ingot]

tho i wouldnt recommend scatter (or multiple scatterguns) for c1
their small killing potential aside, 1 wrong shot and your whole team is dead

[mint cedar]

Yeah the other guy I run with used a scattergun and misclicked on my spine

I was not happy lmao

[tardy ingot]

i remember pre nerf scattergun. We (intentionally) let me get a triple kill with 1 shot

was fun to then murder them again later on the team scan

[viscid wolf]

wah

I remember pre nerf scatter

one shot @stuck orchid with it

[mystic loom]

i remember pre nerf burst sentry

bra bra bra, enemy die

[loud geode]

Im new to this game and wanted to ask something. How often do new rundowns release. And maybe to it, when was this rundown released?

[viscid wolf]

heh

so let me tell you a story

its been 5.5 months since R6 came out

this is our third 6 month rundown in a row

pain

[pearl nimbus]

To me that is pretty fast. But I'm on the side of the coin that game dev cycles are much too fast.

[loud geode]

Thanks for the info, I guess I need to get my shit together then and finish it before next release 😄

[rigid sinew]

It's a pretty inconsistent timer
but based on the last 3 rundowns, around 5-6+ months

Rundown 6 was released around december 12

[mystic loom]

this rundown is pretty easy for new player to finish it

if you find some people who played well and willing to teach you in #lfg-beginners , it will be faster

[loud geode]

Honestly, I would be grateful for help but this game quite surprised me and I think I want to experience game mechanics and lore as a total noob 😄

thx for advice tho

[mystic loom]

It is good to do that, especially this rundown basically tell you the progress directly so you can more more easily to express

[iron fjord]

thank you

[stuck orchid]

i debated pinging you or not to mention that

[pearl nimbus]

Can the scattergun one shot big bois from the front as well as the back? Not sure if the big guy had a chunk missing when I ended him in one shot from the front.

[stuck orchid]

from the front, yes, but you'd have to get close so that most of the pellets hit and do just enough damage to kill it

back obviously needs less pellets to hit because of back multiplier

[pearl nimbus]

Gotcha!

I kind of try to do s slide into them when I'm shooting from the front. Angle it up across their chest up at the face. Usually they'll end up with needing one more plink anywhere to make them drop. But I ended one in one shot and I was curious if I could practice that reliably.

I'm also just terrible at baiting their swings so I try to not let them get to that point if possible.

[stuck orchid]

it definitely can be done reliably, just gotta do it more so you get a feel of when's the latest you can shoot to maximize damage and still avoid getting hit

[pearl nimbus]

Gotcha. Something to keep working towards then

I've been switching between the scattergun and the sniper to take care of bigs and I usually end on the scattergun just because of the anxiety I get with the sniper

Also the scattergun can just decimate a grouped up pack of little guys so I like that too

[stuck orchid]

yeah although sniper is statistically the superior choice, scattergun's still pretty reliable and can even be better if you can't hit heads consistently

[pearl nimbus]

I do fine until that first miss.

Then it's all downhill as my blood pressure skyrockets

[stuck orchid]

SAME

but it feels so good when you manage to quickly pull it out and get a quick headshot far away while the scope is still centering

[pearl nimbus]

Hm...that does sound really rewarding...

[stuck orchid]

that's one downside the sniper got this rundown, previously once you aimed it it's at the center of your screen immediately, which made quick swapping and scoping comparatively easier than this rundown

[rigid sinew]

the only downside of sniper is your teammates don't get to enjoy the dopamine it provides

🧀

[pearl nimbus]

Lol. Since we're talking weapons. What is the niche of that wind up LMG in special weapons? I'd have to look up the name sorry.

It has a wind up like the hel gun but it's full auto.

[rigid sinew]

what about it?

[pearl nimbus]

Just cant figure out where to use it most effectively tbh. Is the damage stupid high on it or is it like a special version of the carbine? meant more for mad stagger and creating chokepoints

[rigid sinew]

it's supposed to have the best kill per ammo ratio...sort of

[stuck orchid]

it's very ammo efficient if you can control the burst

[rigid sinew]

and a relatively high fire rate

[stuck orchid]

plus i'm pretty sure every bullet can stagger a sleeper

[jaunty bear]

it is the best kill per ammo ratio, provided you hit all your shots

its also fun

C:<

[rigid sinew]

basically a choke destroyer

[pearl nimbus]

Gotcha. Yeah LMGs are stupid fun. I can agree to that.

[rigid sinew]

and it's not the cheese hel gun

[jaunty bear]

i am going to use a bioscanner on you- @stuck orchid

[stuck orchid]

if you don't already, you'll mostly use it in bursts of 3-5 shots at a time

joke's on you i'm a bio main

know your enemy and know thyself

[jaunty bear]

sus...

[rigid sinew]

scout goes
brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
[reloads]
brrrrrrrrrrrr....

[jaunty bear]

imagine if we could duel weild lmg's

lmfao

[stuck orchid]

recoil go brrrrrrr

[rigid sinew]

you can

[jaunty bear]

pure daka moment

[jaunty bear]

[viscid wolf]

LMFAO

[cerulean moth]

Good special weapons to compliment the machine pistol?

[fickle mulch]

hel revolver

[compact pebble]

no

n o.

[cerulean moth]

No, you don’t understand

I must embrace the brrrrt

[compact pebble]

please no 😵‍💫

[eternal bridge]

Pretty much! I discovered a way to sound manipulate every monster

With Biotracker

[tiny tundra]

Dumb question because I've just never thought about it: Do shadows become visible when they're frozen with cfoam?

[noble sierra]

They're not

[tiny tundra]

Interesting. But they do freeze, right? I've just I don't think ever had a situation where shadows and cfoam have met yet haha

[eternal bridge]

Well… shadows do freeze but you will only see their foam being stuck on em

Or see their ping movements

[tiny tundra]

Neat. Thank you for the answers

[eternal bridge]

Np

I’m still working on finding a solution against shadows

They’re my true nemesis

I’m deaf and they’re sightless…. So stealthing is…. Difficult

[mossy aurora]

they freeze, but for some reason they take a lot more c-foam to freeze than normal strikers

[minor fractal]

HAR, Revolver, and HEL Gun. Essentially, fairly long-range weapons that can wave-clear independently.

[cosmic bison]

is it possible to pick your character or is it just whoever connects whenever

[minor fractal]

Whoever connects whenever

1. Woods
2. Dauda
3. Hackett
4. Bishop

[last kelp]

So yesterday my friend and I were doing D2 and one of our friends joined right before the T-scan. We got past the checkpoint, did the error alarm, got to extreme (also keep in mind we have tried this level 25+ times because the bots keep fucking us over and also D levels are hard) and when we wiped, the checkpoint was voided. We couldn't start from the checkpoint, had to start all over. Has this happened to any of you guys?

my guess is that this happens because someone joined halfway through the game

[compact pebble]

no

probably just checkpoint bug

[last kelp]

that's neat

guess we'll go fuck ourselves then

also I just want to know : do yall kill the 6 charger scouts on D2 or stealth the room without killing any of them

[compact pebble]

depending on whether we got enough cfoam, we always cleared the scout room with the teams i ran with

[inner field]

i personally wake them up and shoot the chargers

but c-foam bonking is what i did initially

before i lost my braincells and couldnt be bothered waiting

[last kelp]

C-foam? to cfoam the charger scouts?

[inner field]

yeah

[compact pebble]

yea

haha

[inner field]

you just shoot single blobs at a time

until its foamed

and then run up and smack it

[last kelp]

ik you can cfoam enemies

[compact pebble]

or if you are giga chad enough, you can hit the charger scouts with another player at the same time

[last kelp]

That's what I always did LMAO

[compact pebble]

woah

[last kelp]

I forgot you could cfoam

[compact pebble]

pro gamer xD

[last kelp]

lmao

[compact pebble]

haha

built different 🥶

charger scouts usually mean cfoam

[last kelp]

or a shotgun in the back

[compact pebble]

especially the 6 scouts room

if you mess up it's kinda bad so cfoam for safe play

[inner field]

If only Hel gun wasnt god tier broken

[last kelp]

we can reliably clear that room, like 90% success rate

we have done it like 20 times

[compact pebble]

without cfoam?

[last kelp]

yeah

lol

[compact pebble]

wow

[last kelp]

I mean we practiced the countdown

to synchronise the hits

[compact pebble]

chad fr 🥶

[last kelp]

but eventually we just got good

shadows are something else though

[compact pebble]

you'd be surprise how hard that is to pull off

many players aren't capable of doing that lol

[last kelp]

we played 150 hours together

we're basically a hivemind at this point

[compact pebble]

damn

duo only?

[last kelp]

mostly

we play with other friends when they can

[compact pebble]

ahh

[last kelp]

but yeah I wouldn't trust anyone to kill a charger scout with

[compact pebble]

keep playing together and yall will be insane duos xD

[last kelp]

lmao

[inner field]

D2 Duo unironically the most fun level in this rundown

[last kelp]

with or without extreme

[inner field]

either or

doesnt really matter

[last kelp]

when I tried extreme with my 2 friends we got fucked by the blood door oh god

[inner field]

which one?

[last kelp]

we weren't expecting an army of big boys

[inner field]

cuz theres sort of 3 blood doors

[last kelp]

in extreme

[inner field]

or do you mean the one in extreme?

i just do it after the uplink lmao

foggies does more than a good enough job for flier scan

[last kelp]

yeah

also what does uplink spawn

chargers I suppose?

[compact pebble]

yus

[last kelp]

since it's like the theme of the level

[inner field]

chargers

but fliers can spawn

with mega low spawnrate

dont know if its intended though

but they can appear

[last kelp]

only small bois or big bois mixed in?

[inner field]

only normal chargers

[last kelp]

ah

also the V cluster alarm during the error alarm is pretty brutal

[inner field]

if you know what ur doing

not really

[compact pebble]

cfoam is all you need

[last kelp]

if you have enough cfoam

its good

[inner field]

dont even need cfoam

just hel gun

[compact pebble]

if you don't just run hel weapons

[inner field]

i never bring c-foam anymore

more fun to shoot

[compact pebble]

helgun clears too good

[inner field]

than standing and left clicking foam on the door

yeah, hel gun is unironically

[last kelp]

also sometimes the cfoam just goes through the door

[inner field]

too fucking OP

[compact pebble]

gotta aim high

[last kelp]

I shoot cfoam at the door and I just hear the chargers being freezed up

[compact pebble]

yes

that's why you wanna shoot above enemies

[last kelp]

one of these days the grenade is just gonna go through

[compact pebble]

lol

[last kelp]

right I forgot the hel gun exists

oops

gonna try that I guess

[compact pebble]

hel gun very pog if you position yourself right

1 shot can penetrate 4 enemies

2 shot kills chargers

you can handle charger waves solo with hel gun

[weary mesa]

A little too crack

Everyone shit on it in R3 but me

[minor fractal]

BD was a fan back in the day I think.

I've changed my ways

I see the light

[latent obsidian]

What are the rules for what waves of sleepers consider "the path of least resistance" and what are the rules for uplink waves spawning? (a typical uplink, not DX)

[weary mesa]

Now it’s got nothing as a downside

I love how revo just can’t exist when hel gun does

[minor fractal]

It's a bit too complicated for anyone to understand, but there seem to be loose rules about the distance an enemy is from a door and how many doors are on the route to you. They can also take odd routes if they run past doors on their way to another door or open passage.

Uplinks follow normal rules for the most part, but will only spawn enemies in the same zone as the uplink terminal (doesn't apply to corrupted uplinks).

[latent obsidian]

So for normal uplinks with rooms more than 2 rooms away in the same zone it should always spawn them in there?

[minor fractal]

Yep.

[latent obsidian]

Okay, thanks 🙂

I just got destroyed I think because I underestimated the distance factor and overestimated the door factor

[minor fractal]

RIP

[latent obsidian]

Breaking through two doors instead of a clear path smh

[mossy aurora]

doors also act like a black hole where if an enemy spawns near or runs by a closed door, even if there is an already open path, they will get sucked into attacking that closed door

[wooden osprey]

...

didn't know that

[maiden cypress]

also happens if you close the door right on an enemy chasing you

they just ignore the other open door in the room iy's really funny

[cerulean moth]

Could you possibly bypass this restriction by setting certain character slots to “bots only?”

[minor fractal]

I believe so.

[stuck orchid]

you can, but the character you will be when you first make a lobby will always be woods

though if you have a friend with you i guess you can leave and have them manipulate character slot restrictions then join back if you don't want to play as woods

[cerulean moth]

That much I suspected

[dry pumice]

Regarding +ammo mutagens (guns or tools) - do I understand correctly that packs restore proportionally, therefore having bigger overall ammo pool increases efficiency of kits?

[noble sierra]

No, it only affects initial ammo.

[dry pumice]

Unfortunate.

[soft crater]

If you did put your cursor over the booster text. It states increasing the amount of ammo you start with.

If you have enough of this booster as well. You can start with over 100% ammo

For instance starting with 114% ammo

[dry pumice]

Oh. Interesting.

[floral acorn]

100+ % sentry looks great, put it down once and pick it back up == down to 100% flat. sob.

[craggy pier]

do i have to be close to the terminal when verifying a code?

[warm yew]

Close enough to activate it

[craggy pier]

till the code is 100%?

[warm yew]

Ye

[craggy pier]

wellp

thanks

[stuck orchid]

Except for the last one, yes

You can walk away after inputting the last code

[craggy pier]

thats not much but its something

[stuck orchid]

Yeah, in previous rundowns you had to wait until the last one finished too

[noble sierra]

If you're talking about terminal uplink, no, you don't have to be close to the terminal. This is the only exception command that you don't have to be close to the terminal.

[soft crater]

Unfortunately it does that :/ this can happen with gun ammo percentages too actually. Though I'm not sure exactly what causes it

I just remember being at 107% and suddenly it was at 100% when I checked ammo again

[craggy pier]

what is the interval of horde spawn in c3

[craggy pier]

uplink_verify?

[noble sierra]

Yup, whenever you put in one uplink_verify, you don't have to wait at the terminal, the progress will keep going even no one is close to the terminal.

[craggy pier]

interesting

[stuck orchid]

If you’re talking about the waves that spawn based on the timer, there’s no interval, each wave triggered by the timer only triggers at a specific time

[craggy pier]

oh i see

[stuck orchid]

Additionally, completing overload changes the waves that spawn

[craggy pier]

for the better or the worse

[stuck orchid]

Worse

[spark wolf]

it just adds more

3m after completing overload scan you get a wave of bigs + some hybrids

10m tank
23m20 tank

[craggy pier]

does the tank wake up if he's in the first room after overload?

[spark wolf]

there's no event that makes him wake up

[stuck orchid]

Doesn’t have to, though if he’s in that spot you’ll most likely want to kill him

[floral acorn]

not a scream door like c2 mommy

[stuck orchid]

Same goes for the room after that

[craggy pier]

he was right on the other side of the door

[stuck orchid]

If he spawns in the last room at the very back you have a good chance of getting away with not waking him up, long as you get the bulkhead key and prevent the sleepers that spawn afterwards from screaming in the room

[floral acorn]

he will wake to running or shots or enemy screams

[craggy pier]

well i guess i just need to get good

[stuck orchid]

I’d say c3 is mainly about getting into a routine

[spark wolf]

is it your first tank fight?

[stuck orchid]

Like I said before, wave spawns are at set times, so the next time you play you have a feel of when you should push forward and when you should hold

[craggy pier]

well no i got the one in d1 several times, its just that he likes to get up the nearby ladder

[spark wolf]

just make sure you split up around him

and try to still have some cover so if you're the one currently targetted you can hide for a lil

tank will die really quickly if you have one sniper in the team that can aim

[craggy pier]

im the sniper and with 3 bots

[spark wolf]

makes sense

its rough with bots cuz they'll keep following you

[waxen jetty]
