gtfo-related-questions

[topaz anvil]

Do you have a passionate hatred for teammates who can't read or use common sense, @tribal sand

[tribal sand]

absolutely not lol

if im convinced to get the game im sure ill find someone to pla it with

im trying to decide between this and scp pandemic

and i use controller

[craggy pier]

How do you get to E1?

[flat furnace]

GTFO is suspenseful and shifts between Payday 2 stealth and loud missions in a single run.
If you like the gameplay of payday 2 you might like GTFO.
If you like talking to teammates you might like GTFO.
If you want the freedom to zip around and play a competitive fast paced FPS, you probably won't like GTFO.
Have you watched any gameplay?

[topaz anvil]

I can't comment on controller support, but there's a decent amount of typing to do in game

[topaz anvil]

Finish all mains

[tribal sand]

im watching some now

[craggy pier]

Every mission?

[topaz anvil]

Yes

[tribal sand]

it really comes down to controller support now

[drifting mauve]

if there are?

[dusky tiger]

are item drops like those of explosive mines and the like within a zone the same for each attempt of a level?
I found an explosive trip mine in zone_160 in C3

was wondering if I if I would find it again in the same zone the next time I played that level

[tardy ingot]

Possibly

items spawns arent 100% set but theres chances for it

[distant ice]

Not exactly

Devs decide the distribution, but it's generally random or oriented towards a certain subset of items

Like fighting fog (repellers) and fighting darkness (glowsticks and lrf)

[dusky tiger]

thank you

[mossy aurora]

it used to be 3-4 depending on if you are host or client, now i think its more than that like 5-6

[drifting mauve]

[rotund portal]

Is there a way to do INI modding of the game to make the UI readable?

Such as increasing the scaling of the Objective text UI element past 120% to 150% or 200%

Or maybe change the font

[distant ice]

Doubt

Is the objective in the menu (press O) not readable either?

[rotund portal]

Doubt?

And yes, specifically the subtext below the main objective text is very difficult to read

For example text that says key_ white _086

I cannot make out 0, O, 9, 8, B, 6,

And the fuzziness around the text adds to that. So I cannot really use the terminal without wasting time doing guess work.

[distant ice]

Well for keys and similar you could always list all on the terminal

But for IPs and similar might be a problem ig

[rotund portal]

It was really frustrating when I was on a different page, thinking our goal was Sector 10 and not Sector 18

Also.... IPs?

ho no

I'm going to have to find a terminal slave

[distant ice]

There is a settings file in the same location as game logs but i have no idea if editing ui size in there would work

[rotund portal]

Yea I'm worried about getting banned or "losing" progress from that

[distant ice]

That won't happen

[craggy pier]

terminal slave?

[rotund portal]

Dude who has to stick to a console or machine to guide the team for maximum efficiency. Essentially being left behind.

I forget what the first game was, but usually it was comparatively boring as hell

[craggy pier]

I would say learn to use terminals but then i read up

[rotund portal]

The "fun" is in the smashing skulls, not necessarily being a rookie programmer. So yea

Ideally we'd split the duty up equally

[craggy pier]

for maximum skull smashing play C3

[rotund portal]

C1 is a bit too buggy for us to get there. Also doesn't help that C1 is just stupidly hard despite it

[craggy pier]

every level is a bit too buggy

I've had more missions where I encountered bugs than ones where i didn't

[nimble summit]

If I join a game in progress, do I get booster rewards only for the part of the level onwards from joining or also from artifacts that the group collected before I joined?

[nimble summit]

I enjoy using terminals for helping my team more than helping the team in stealth clearing rooms to be honest.

I am also usually the one who does uplinks.

[distant ice]

Former i believe

[proper geyser]

which has the better extraction sprint, B3 or C1?

[signal spear]

c1 extraction can frick right off

[fringe tinsel]

does D1 mother have only one checkpoint?

[signal spear]

at least 2 that i've seen

haven't finished that level

[proper geyser]

B3 only has one, so likee

[fringe tinsel]

im trying to finish it rn kinda annoying

[signal spear]

D1 has one checkpoint in the large room with 3 security doors, and then there's a checkpoint after the bridge

[latent obsidian]

D1 has 2 checkpoints, one of which is actually missable

[proper geyser]

thats so toxic XD

[signal spear]

COL-zapata, i know it's a hard level. i was given this advice: do the error alarm -> go through the checkpoint door -> then go through the north door

apparently there's something in the checkpoint door that reduces the X scans to V scans

[fringe tinsel]

thats what im doing rn

[signal spear]

seven blessings to you

[fringe tinsel]

hard solo with bots too

[proper geyser]

D1... with bots... gods help you bc, those bots wont...

[fringe tinsel]

hey 2/3 of the doors down rn working towards the end of the 2nd door for 3rd door

i got this....maybe

[signal spear]

D1 is the level that's going to force me to use LFG

[fringe tinsel]

one problem with bots they dont hit scouts

[soft crater]

They dont hit anything in stealth unless you initiate it

[fringe tinsel]

yea but when u foam a black scout they dont hit it even it i melee it

[soft crater]

Because it isnt awake yet technically.

[fringe tinsel]

yea but hey got 2nd checkpoint

[rich snow]

how do people get legacy melee weapons

[distant ice]

there's no legit way to do it

[rich snow]

oh ok

[fringe tinsel]

can you still join ppl mid game?

[distant ice]

yes

[fringe tinsel]

even if in the last part?

on*

[distant ice]

yes

[fringe tinsel]

mmm thanks cuz this last part for d1 aint it

[dapper vapor]

are the devs planning to go on console ?

[soft crater]

Not likely

[dry pumice]

How do you imagine console terminal interactions

[distant ice]

about the same as PC with controller support

[dapper vapor]

the terminal interactions i think they would be on a in game keyboard or the xbox keyboard

[tardy ingot]

imagine if they put in aim assist

[dapper nimbus]

Aim assist kek w

wanna bet it would be hella buggy for at least 3 rundowns?

[grizzled bolt]

does artifact heat ever go back up to 100%?

[latent obsidian]

it will go back up if you play different levels

[grizzled bolt]

thank you

[proper geyser]

What's the best B class mission?

[latent obsidian]

I liked B3 most

[dry pumice]

Hmmmmm

I guess I sort of liked B2? Fog's bad, but liked the blue hues and the huge rooms.
B3 has red hues everywhere and p.fog all over the place therefore instant cringe.

[weary mesa]

Poison fog best fog

Could have made E1 harder and have a time constraint with it

So you couldn't sit around for half the level

[proper geyser]

Shout out to the ending of B1, New players I was with freaked.

[dry pumice]

That ending bit is very fun, definetely my favorite R7 moment so far.

[haughty jacinth]

when i realized that p.fog isnt fatal i was much less nervous in b3

[dry pumice]

I like my health above 50% still

[icy nacelle]

The fog isn't massively overbearing in B3 To my memory, a lot of it you can actually crouch in and though you hear the sound it barely seems to increase your infection at all (no boosters involved).

[proper geyser]

Theoretically, what is the most Dakka you could put down range into a blood door?

[verbal surge]

Quick question: Prior to R6, we had a lot of movement tech like b-hopping, crouch sliding for movement speed, and the likes. In R7, is there any noticeable movement tips and tricks to help me improve as a player? I'm a bit more experienced than my friends, but I want to be able to hyper carry like I used to lol

[weary mesa]

ledges/drops are your friends, enemies has to path around them but you don't

[dry pumice]

HEL shotgun.

[weary mesa]

other than that sliding maintains your speed but if you hold it for a bit longer than when it had speed boost you gain a little stamina back

[verbal surge]

Gotcha! I knew about the stamina trick but wondered why it never seemed to work. Guess I was going too fast lol

[ocean elbow]

Do harder levels have better booster spawns (more bold, aggreessives)?

[icy cave]

pretty sure not

[weary mesa]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1IyaqTptkW_TAM_jiXZ9hnUi6C11kTx5oIX_DPDkUkI0/edit#gid=1332126993

[ocean elbow]

Thanks $, looks like the totals need to be updated though

[weary mesa]

yea

[celest sandal]

Any way to fix the power cell bug on C1?

[minor fractal]

Bugged player quits out, bot replaces them, die, return to checkpoint, bugged player rejoins.

[vocal tinsel]

Is the idea on D1 that we should be disabling the error alarm by doing the class X alarm?

[viscid wolf]

its optional

either do the X alarm or do the err alarm

[vocal tinsel]

We've tried the level a good 10 times now (not enough yet), but the error alarm feels impossible

Maybe we're running the wrong tools?

The X alarm feels more possible, but still incredibly difficult considering there's still the rest of the level to go

[viscid wolf]

are you cfoaming mining behind you?

run sniper sentry, cfoam, mine, bio

or drop the cfoam if you're confident in your aim

actually I think double sniper sentry mine bio is optimal

just keep mining behind you as you move

[vocal tinsel]

Is there a map of the error alarm area?

The last time we made it through the first door, we got lost

[sharp steppe]

Is there any way to prevent bots to run into a whole horde with meele weapons? They die every time. This suck so hard.

[desert falcon]

Kenny recently finished his R7 maps
#guides-and-reviews message

[eternal bridge]

It IS very difficult to take on the amount of shadows but it is possible… at Cost of your ammos and such that is

[icy cave]

The Error is actually by far the easiest of the two

[sinful wedge]

how can i report somone who is hacking in open lobbys?

[minor fractal]

@uneven gulch

DM that ^

[sinful wedge]

ok thx for answer

[weary mesa]

For the first class X you could just have someone circle walk the shadows

[viscid wolf]

"circle walk"

[rigid sinew]

ew

[gilded jolt]

We went from long kiting to circle kiting to circle walking

What’s next

[weary mesa]

To actually have the enemies hit you without desynced position

[shrewd dirge]

preposterous

[tropic hound]

whats the name of these things

like the cannon name for them

[gilded jolt]

What things

[shrewd dirge]

like in general?

[gilded jolt]

The general enemies are just sleepers

[shrewd dirge]

sleepers

although, courtesy is often distinguished for calling awake sleepers by their meta name

or just enemies

but generally just sleepers.

[proper geyser]

I like the idea that the meta names are what the prisoners would call them

Like " I don't fucking know what it is, it shoots shit, so it's a shooter"

[shrewd dirge]

im glad its scout and not something like
spaghetti Johnson

[fallen kelp]

on a scale, how dumb is c2?

[noble sierra]

Not really dumb at all?

Good pace, suitable difficulty as a c-tier, I personally appreciate the design of the level (if...no checkpoint used)

[topaz anvil]

Best level this rundown

[fallen kelp]

so how is one stealth the big rooms or just go loud

[noble sierra]

You stealth the big room by the way you stealth in any other room in this game.

Going loud might work, haven't try though.

[topaz anvil]

Larger rooms means less enemies close together. Therefore easier to stealth

[fallen kelp]

I just find it hard to move cause they're a lot of hiden sleeper that can trigger

[neon gust]

sudden cluster of 8 in the lab tile buildings 😔

[mossy aurora]

you can sweep across in front of you with your flashlight on to get all the enemies to glow so you know where they are before you decide what to kill

[minor fractal]

^ this.

If a sleeper is hiding in a dark corner close to you and you don't notice it, it's usually because you're not gathering info very well.

If you don't like flashlighting, try thermal or bio.

[fluid silo]

hey guys, currently in B2, just collected all the hormone canisters

Do we need to put them somewhere? Or do we just finish the mission?

[simple marlin]

Just need to have em on you, back to the main objective with you if you got all of em.

[fluid silo]

thanks!

[rotund portal]

C1 weapon recommendations?

Also what is the "artifact heat"? What does the % mean?

[topaz anvil]

Its how much % you'll get towards progress of a booster

100% heat will give you 0.15 progress

When you pick up artifacts that is

[shut wind]

what is C-foam portion mean?

[weary mesa]

Your c-foam is more efficient

You waste less % per blob I believe

[vital sierra]

yup

[craggy pier]

that applies to grenades and mines too?

[weary mesa]

I do not know

But I would assume not

[craggy pier]

I ask because was doin C3 and some guy brought foam boosters but no foam launcher

so is he smart or stupid

[weary mesa]

Could be giga brain or mind deficiency

[distant ice]

Could be wasting boosters on purpose so the inventory fucks off with the "oh no you lost boosters because inv full"

[craggy pier]

I just delete the bad ones if inv gets close to full

I found 20 something% bioscan speed the other day

[pulsar sage]

foam booster is useless without launcher cause cfoam portion gives you back x% of used cfoam

[craggy pier]

so he was a silly billy

[pulsar sage]

if there was nothing else on the booster yes xD

[woeful coral]

does having more people in a scan increase the rate at which it progresses?

[noble sierra]

Short answer, yes. Long answer, yes for most of the scans, but there is few exception.

[woeful coral]

moving scans are an exception, right?

like the one at the end of b1

[noble sierra]

Yes

[woeful coral]

ok great ty

[distant ice]

Cargo extractions as well afaik

[craggy pier]

how do you establish external iuplink im typing in codes it not working

[simple marlin]

Are you talking about the steps after you use Uplink_Connect? Or are you having trouble connecting as well?

[craggy pier]

its telling me find the uplink terminal did that

it says user terminal to create uplink to 227/235/142/250

i dothat nothing happens

i type uplink_connect and the numbers but it ddoes nothign

[simple marlin]

Hmm, are you putting / or . Between the number sets?

[craggy pier]

uplink_connect 227.235.142.158 is exactl how im typing it lol

[tropic hound]

how do i command bots

[simple marlin]

If you run COMMANDS on the terminal the uplink commands show up at the bottom of it right?

[simple marlin]

You can hold Q to bring up commands then use number keys/the scroll wheel to navigate the menu.

[tropic hound]

thanks you

thank*

[craggy pier]

guess my games glitched

it wont take the codes

im watchinf vidoes and typing in exactlt the same

just keeps telling uplink error

[simple marlin]

You're 100% sure you're at the right terminal yeah? I assume this is for B2?

[craggy pier]

c3 i tihnk i forgot

the one whre you start with no ammo

[simple marlin]

Oh gotcha I haven't done that one yet bit slow this rundown, I'm not sure why it's not letting you work it I hope it clears up. Sounds like it should be working from what you've said.

[craggy pier]

it was glitched dude i typed it in 500 times same way it randomly worked lolol

[simple marlin]

Glad it relented for ya

[distant gate]

If you're talking about c3 overload, you need to find the second terminal to confirm and read logs to find passcodes

[craggy pier]

i beat c3 pe and it didnt give me pe...

[unborn fractal]

New player,
Are we expected to complete B2 and B3 before going to C1?

[topaz anvil]

Not really, but it helps to beat them

[unborn fractal]

Helps how?

[topaz anvil]

the change in difficulty is more tolerable

[proper geyser]

It's like driving, once you're actually going fast you don't feel it. But if you go from 0 to 200mph it's a bit much.

Not a perfect analogy but going from B1 right to C1, you'll definitely feel the gear shift.

[gilded jolt]

yeah C1 is a lot harder than B1

[past mesa]

C3 does have a soft lock checkpoint bug in the overload section could be what you ran

[drifting mauve]

soloing B1, but I'm stuck at the T scan (the end)

having a hard time staying on the scan while trying to survive

any tips?

[past mesa]

how i did it was keep a lot of flyeirs alive to hit spawn cap until i through the part of the t scan not on the brigde

[tardy ingot]

you running burst sentry?
If yes, where are you placing it?
Outside of that its just shooting well and without panic. (and sometimes stepping of scan for a second if theres too much going on)

[pulsar sage]

can i melee a chargerscout with a friend if we syncronise the attacks?

or like how synced does this need to be

[past mesa]

yes you can it needs to be fairly synced but you have wiggle room

[pulsar sage]

ok ty

[drifting mauve]

holy, good idea Ill try this next time

thanks

[silver fable]

a burst sentry at 70% pointed at the security door to 95 should cover you for the entire scan

but tool is a bit scarce, so ensuring you have that much sentry ammo left can require that you opt out of some sentry coverage on earlier scans

otherwise just have to shoot reasonably well

capping fliers sounds horrible to me, fwiw

I kill every flier before starting that scan

[gilded jolt]

capping fliers doesnt seem too bad

atleast for the inside part

*note that I have 0 experience in solo B1

[silver fable]

capping fliers means you have to put up with fliers 🤮

[weary mesa]

You can't even cap the fliers

They have a set spawn amount

Unless your gonna run all the way back to spawn with them

[past mesa]

Yeah fair enough I am just enjoy kitting fliers

[viscid wolf]

cap charger flyers

[pulsar sage]

what angle do i need for a 2x back multiplier?

like how much breathingroom do i have

[viscid wolf]

for what enemy

you don't really need the full back angle for most enemies

like it decays but not enough to matter, especially if you have teammates to stagger

any angle behind it will be fine

[pulsar sage]

why just tried to theory craft the needed booster damage to melee chargerscouts

[viscid wolf]

oh

you need like 30%

its not worth it

just 3 2 1 with your teammates

[past mesa]

You need 50% Melee dmg

[tardy ingot]

50% is needed. As long as you are actually behind it (and not off to the side) thats going to work (with a hammer)

tho easiest way is gonna be with foam

[past mesa]

Yeah but steroids is fun one shorting giants and charger scouts is very enjoy able

[pulsar sage]

still looking for a number for this one

thats really all i wanted

[pulsar sage]

well yeah that doesnt work too consitent for our group

[viscid wolf]

practice

I don't even think theres any level where you will have to solo kill a charger scout

[rigid sinew]

afaik it was like ~22 degrees until it starts to falloff

Rayalot made a guide on reddit with that data I think

[pulsar sage]

thanks alot kat 😄

[pulsar sage]

you are being really helpful thank you

[viscid wolf]

is that not how you improve at a task no?

[pulsar sage]

it is but that is not what i was asking

we just thought it would be fun to try and since we were undsure about the angle i have to hit i asked here

[pulsar sage]

and is this not how you answer a question no?

[barren spire]

I'm on C2. Secondary objective. I just went back to Alpha 6 to download the extended genome. Now it says download failed, and to go to extraction, or go back to alpha 6 to finish it.

I don't know how to open the warp gate again, and I already used the matter cell

[past mesa]

hit o is the secondary coloured in else you soft locked and might need to restart at check point @barren spire

[barren spire]

Secondary has a X through it

[past mesa]

yeah you will need to restart at checkpoint probs if you have already used matter wave

sorry man

[spiral otter]

hey all, do you guys have any advice on navigating through dense fog? it doesn't help I'm directionally challenged in this game either lol

[barren spire]

Same thing. I use matter wave to get there. Then the download fails and it says to go back to finish it. I dont know how to go back

[barren spire]

I guess I bugged. After placing the last battery cell it teleported us there. We did the uploaded and got returned. Then we could open the secondary bulkhead and went past the mother, go the antimatter cell. Placed it in the warp machine. We did the scan and teleported to the desert. We went to the terminal and did the scan. The scan "failed" and teleported us back out. Saying to extract OR go back in. Having used the antimatter device already, can't go back in. Super bummed.

[spark wolf]

im not sure but you might just have gotten kinda trolled by the objective text

[barren spire]

The issue was someone was retyping the download command, which resulted in the bug. Second time going in, don't touch the terminal. Just wait and do the security scans.

[spark wolf]

maybe

[barren spire]

No maybe about it, I reproduced it every time.

[noble sierra]

Re-input the command will surely teleport back. So don't do it when doing secondary.

[spark wolf]

the game repeats a bunch of text that's often not relevant anymore when swapping between layers

so that's why you can just get baited

[plucky scarab]

How do you unlock E1? By completing all prior missions?

[viscid wolf]

all mains

[plucky scarab]

Thanjs

[tardy owl]

Question 1:Is there any pre explored that I can look on the web so I pre-plan stuff before going into a level?
Question 2: Is there any server or group that are dedicated to just playing gtfo because I want to find a group or server which is dedicated to gtfo so I can improve faster and have a much stable performance if going into a level with the same group.
(PS: I'm new but I am willing to learn the nitty-gritty details about gtfo.I absolutely love the game but I also wanted to find a group that is much more active in playing gtfo.If there any suggestions or advice, pm me.My region is in asia.Any help is appreciated,thanks in advance.

[rigid sinew]

Answer 1: there is a guy that made a steam guide with the map layouts of all levels, check it out
Answer 2: essentially this server, but for newbies specifically go to #lfg-beginners

Since you live in asia you can search for a server that matches your region in the Higlited Communities category in the server or look for group in #lfg-asia

[tardy owl]

How do I searched for highlighted communities?

[neon gust]

scroll up

you'll see

#hc-north-america etc etc

[tardy owl]

Oh, that's what it means.Ok,I'm dumb....Thanks.

[tardy owl]

Question: Can you drop items like medipack or ammopack in the game?Idk is that a feature or not?

[weary mesa]

It's not

[tardy owl]

Sad.Did the Devs mention adding this feature to the game before?

[rigid sinew]

[autumn flint]

C1 has a terminal somewhere that could remove a large part of the fog, it will come up in the objective

Otherwise if you have no fog repeller with you, thermal scope is prolly your best bet

[limpid iron]

Last night my team cleared B1. But we were all surprised by the diminished class 4 alarm spawning enemies one room away instead of two. Is this a new feature of certain alarms in this rundown or was this an exception?

[faint flame]

How much friendly damage does a sniper do to the back of the head

[wooden osprey]

friendly fire is the same no matter where

[wooden osprey]

most likely a scripted thing or a barrier

[silver fable]

It's not the norm, but that alarm does indeed spawn enemies one room away. The speculation is that the level designer wanted enemies spawning from both the east and the west but didn't want to have to build a second room into the zone to the east, so they rigged the alarm so that it spawns from one room away to get that effect.

imo it's pretty terrible for multiple reasons, and they shouldn't've done it

As to how prevalent it is, I think one of the alarms in c2 has 1-room spawns too, but it's done in a way that I think it's not so bad. Not sure about anywhere else in the rundown, I think almost all alarms I've encountered in r7 obey 2-room rule.

[autumn flint]

Lmao it caught us off guard too, we planned for 2 room spawn and they spawned almost up our proverbial butts

[limpid iron]

Good to know it’s not too common. We checked all the doors we sealed and couldn’t figure out what happened.

[tacit zealot]

They changed how alarms are coded/written/created Now, for each alarm they can specify how many rooms away enemy spawns. Most alarms are still set as 2 rooms away, however that alarm is an exception (1 room away)

[limpid iron]

Yikes. So I guess we can expect more spawn room exceptions in the future?

[tacit zealot]

Hopefully not. I reckon this alarm is set as 1 room away to let enemies spawn from the zone where you retrieve the cell (which only comprises of 1 room/area)

[limpid iron]

Got it. I guess it would have been a little gimmicky for the devs to put in another small room on that side. I’ll have to be careful in C2 to see if there’s the same situation there.

[tacit zealot]

Why C2? ||and yes, it happens in C2||

[limpid iron]

@autumn flint mentioned that they encountered a similar thing there.

[sharp steppe]

Should i prefer the sledgehammer or spear in general?
Which one is the better meele weapon by stats?

Or is it more which one i like more?

Thx for help ✌️

[neon gust]

hammer: all in one, versatile
spear: more precision damage, cannot run and charge, safer due to longer reach

you should try use them both and see wich one fits your playstyle a lot more

[minor fractal]

Eh, imo hammer is just better than spear, but spear is easier to learn and use.

Spear doesn't lose that much compared to something like knife, though, although sprinting is kind of a big deal.

[neon gust]

if only spear did 20 damage

but yeah sprinting kind of big deal unless you really good at dodging

[weary mesa]

I mean spear doing 20 damage would it as braindead as the hammer

Minus being able to sprint

[sharp steppe]

is spear buggy? heard about bugged spear in r6. Didn`t work that well

[neon gust]

Not sprinting its a huge downside tho, specially when you have a multiple enemies cramp together in a room

atleast lemme bodyshots some of these strikers hanging around while attempting to dodge shooters and giants kekw

[weary mesa]

Another precision weapon becomes braindead

revolver 20 damage when

[neon gust]

making it more viable its not braindead

hammer does 20 you still go for hs

spear the same shit but does less damage on limbs

[weary mesa]

yes it punishes you for missing head

Like old pistol and old revo

[craggy pier]

does ping-t still working or i´m just dumb?

[dry pumice]

Probably the latter, worked last time for me, but that was before patch...

Ping item -T

And you must stay at the terminal.

[craggy pier]

ty, i was writing it wrong

[soft crater]

Imagine not typing out ping ammopack_669

Get that typing speed game up

[tranquil steppe]

hiii just started playing the game hours ago and my friend said that picking up artifacts makes the enemies more aggressive is that true or 😭

[viscid wolf]

not at all

they just give you boosters @tranquil steppe

[tranquil steppe]

yaassssssss thanks

[viscid wolf]

unless...?

[tranquil steppe]

scared

[soft crater]

Shooting in rooms and waking up the enemies yes can also make them aggressive

And depending how the game goes. You get this

[weak pike]

Is it possible for someone who hasn't completed B1 to join me on B3?

[viscid wolf]

yes

host needs it unlocked

that's it

[weak pike]

I figured it out, the guy couldn't join because he hadn't updated his game.

Thanks though

[ocean plinth]

Is it possible to do b1 with 3 bots? On the bit with those floating eyes the security scan circle moves around but the bots just don’t get in the scan circle from the looks of it

[icy nacelle]

You can definitely do it with bots. Unless B1 Changed since I did it the Flyers only spawn after you put the Neonate in initially and then later when you open the security door, so long as you don't rush straight for the T-Scan they should not affect you at all during the scan. When it comes to the T-Scan itself some preparation (sentries and/or mines facing down the bridge) should clear most of the wave allowing you to easily do the scan.

The bots not doing the scan can definitely be a thing though, they sometimes just don't care (in one case with a friend Hackett just stayed at the sec-door and never walked away; this actually helped us tho as the enemies pathed to him). It's not a full-team though so just focus on it yourself.

[ocean plinth]

So u can complete the scans with 3 members missing?

[icy nacelle]

Yeah, it's not a full-team so you can do it solo it's just a bit slower.

[ocean plinth]

Oh great, thanks a lot

[viscid wolf]

you only need one person in the T scan

it doesn't scale based on people

[weak pike]

What's the best strat for beating B3 overload?

[shrewd dirge]

Have a biotracker or die to sniper melee

[royal torrent]

cfoam and mine the doors behind you as you extract and then get lucky with enemy spawn locations

dropping the carry items when it gets rough and holding at sensible places when you know waves are almost on top of you isn't a bad idea either and that's what made it alot easier for us rather then trying to directly gun for the extraction point

[sage flax]

or be like us take cargo further up if you got the ammo then go back and d9o HSU scan

[ruby wasp]

I've unironically met people trying to clear B3PE without bio

[ruby wasp]

The mine should be placed only at the last door

[royal torrent]

really?

[ruby wasp]

Yes

[royal torrent]

why not earlier into it

[icy cave]

because it makes new enemies respawn

[ruby wasp]

^

And they can spawn in front of you

[icy cave]

if they pile up on doors its spawncapped and at a point and nothing will spawn in front of you anymore

[ruby wasp]

Since the most optimal "error waves" are those that spawn behind you, you want to stack them

Then kill those in front

[royal torrent]

ohhh no shit

that's useful to know thanks

[icy cave]

BUT

[royal torrent]

!

[icy cave]

we did without bio :/

[ruby wasp]

Based

[icy cave]

😅

[ruby wasp]

I've seen donkeys who don't even know how to shoot trying to clear it without bio

Dunno if they have a built-in sonar within their brain

[royal torrent]

we had the wrong bot pick up the fog brick and we kept wondering why the bioscanner wasn't up 😏

only realized when it came back during the end of extraction lol

[icy cave]

next time def bringing a bio tho

[weak pike]

I have completed the B3 prisoner efficiency, tbh it was only a little horrendous.

[royal torrent]

it's okay i think. the checkpoint is really forgiving

[weak pike]

I hear C3 is way worse.

[ruby wasp]

Nah

[icy cave]

C3 is way more fun

[ruby wasp]

B3 is the most boring level

[weak pike]

Fun :)

[ruby wasp]

along with B2

C3 is funnier

The hardest part is the beginning

[royal torrent]

i enjoyed b3 i think it was fine. not amazing but pretty good

[icy cave]

C3 and D2 are actual fun maps

[ruby wasp]

And it relies on you being able to stealth kill

[royal torrent]

b2 on the other hand...

[weak pike]

B3 only took 2 hours, which isn't too bad, only 1 retry too.

[icy cave]

best ones this rundown hands down

[ruby wasp]

I prefer C2 tbh

[weak pike]

I'm gonna be doing the C levels next, looking forward to it.

[icy cave]

C2 has some good "all of it"

[royal torrent]

C1 is cool

[icy cave]

but C3 was a blast to play

[ruby wasp]

C2 actually asks you to use your brain to optimize overload clearing

[icy cave]

I don't know which one will be more fun to replay tho

[weak pike]

I looked at C1, wasn't prepped for it though.

[ruby wasp]

D2

Ironically the shortest level

Yet one of the funniest levels

[icy cave]

do cell 3/4 go back and clear it. Go do cell 5/6 and use cell 6 for the door

[ruby wasp]

ik

[royal torrent]

gl with it !

[ruby wasp]

First time i did it we placed 5 cells

very funny overload at 1 HP

[icy cave]

thats how its supposed to tho 🙂

[ruby wasp]

well

"1 HP"

[icy cave]

that scan is not that bad actually

[ruby wasp]

overhealing + sniper sentry + fog repeller

[icy cave]

ok tbf we overhealed for the scan

[weak pike]

Is there another level where it has a non-stop alarm like the last rundown? R6C3 I think it was.

[ruby wasp]

R7C3 does

2nd part of the map though

[icy cave]

but not the whole level

[ruby wasp]

Hmmm

R7D2 COULD count

[icy cave]

for the whole level no. Altho D2 comes close

very close

[ruby wasp]

E1's first part but that's a joke rather than a real wave

[icy cave]

sorry but that was super boring

[weak pike]

Well damn, let's see how far I get on this long weekend.

[icy cave]

like the second part is fine. But the first part is .....

[weak pike]

I'll be back with questions later, good night everyone.

[ruby wasp]

Babysitting simulator

literally

[icy cave]

goodnight !

[icy cave]

yep 😦

[icy nacelle]

Did it yesterday with my group. Definitely had a blast, especially on one of our failed escapes when a Tank spawned next to us on extraction.

[maiden gyro]

@rugged slate

[rugged slate]

WTF

[rugged slate]

https://discord.gg/dzHKgen8

[restive prawn]

does anyone have a ss of all the code zones in E1?

[rain cloak]

nothing inside d1 overload?

can't find bulk key inside

[noble sierra]

Just terminal

[rain cloak]

only one bulk key spawned in the entire level

[noble sierra]

Yes, the devs removed one bulkhead key in the latest patch.

Now the main bulkhead door opens automatically by finishing overload objective.

[worthy shore]

is there any fix to were when you trying to drop in to a game already in progress you hear a single sound repeatedly and get stuck/frozen mid drop

[urban panther]

how come the size of things in player view change based on where it is on the screen? like if something is in the middle of the screen vs on the side of the screen, it appears larger when closer to the side, why is that? could it just be my fov?

I would post reference images but I cant in this channel

[hallow pollen]

does anyone have tips for the super long level 1 alarm door C1?

[sage flax]

2 sentrys of any kind can really help, and have someone using sniper to take down hybrids/bigs before they reach

[icy nacelle]

Bio+2 Sniper Sentries+1 Sniper (or Hi-Cal/Choke Mod) makes it pretty chill. You can also have Mines too, or a 3rd Sniper Sentry but I think having Mines/C-Foam would be more useful.

[hallow pollen]

kk ill give that a shot. im running 1 burst two shotgun sentries. one sniper and 2 with hel shotguns

[noble sierra]

Yes it's because you have FOV larger than your actual screen.

[icy nacelle]

If I'm brutally honest I think Shotgun Sentries are quite bad and compared to Burst/Sniper just isn't a good choice, especially considering how strong Bio-Symbiosis is on the Sniper Sentry.

[viscid wolf]

the sniper sentry is way too strong

[icy nacelle]

Mhm.

[sage flax]

true idk why they buffed sniper sentry, shotgun sentry needs like double the ammo

but it is useable now

[viscid wolf]

no base sniper sentry was really weak

that was a needed buff

symbiosis was what was broken

[sage flax]

on god wtf

eh i guess thats true sniper sentry depends on level design and rooms

[weary mesa]

^

It's like auto

Has a niche

[viscid wolf]

I miss R4 auto meta

[weary mesa]

now it's way too crazy

[icy nacelle]

Bio-Sym makes it way stronger since it pretty much removes the lock-on delay and all that and then just gives it more ammo effectively. Without that it's pretty tame.

[weary mesa]

it's supposed to be great for long sightlines

Now it works anywhere with bio

[viscid wolf]

no idea why symbiosis is a thing

[weary mesa]

I like it

Just a bit strong

[viscid wolf]

bio was already really strong

didn't need to make it stronger

[weary mesa]

Needed another synergy other than mine and c-foam

[neon gust]

instead of fixing shotgun sentry like they should, they just decided to do the modding fix and just making it full auto

truly a shame

😔

[wary linden]

Still no point for that sentry when they made sniper sentry even more busted

[neon gust]

They fucked up sentries in general

[wary linden]

When you can beat c tiers with a single tool. You know something is up ;)

[neon gust]

i guess they felt preassure from people asking why there was a single ping on biotracker last rundown kekw

10cc its funny sometimes

[wary linden]

I mean.. it could have worked for the e1 thing

But they didnt even use it for that

[weary mesa]

disables certain sleepers attacks for a short duration
trys to use it on the Immortal
pings a shooter instead

[shrewd ermine]

hey guys, just wanna ask how do you quit the game on checkpoint

[viscid wolf]

return to lobby

[shrewd ermine]

just exit expedition?

[stark spade]

or good ol' ALT+F4

[rotund portal]

Is there a thing that tracks "shots fired" or "amount of X used" in a mission?
Does the game track stuff like that? Would love to know completion % or average ammo % use on successful runs and stuff

[viscid wolf]

yes

[rotund portal]

where?

[viscid wolf]

oh I was responding to someone else

as for stats there are no stats

[minor fractal]

There are no saves.

[craggy pier]

what triggers desync

need to know so I can get free levels

[sonic plank]

been running calcs for stragger yesterday to show the differences between melee weapon, but then i got hit by a question i don't have an answer to, so im gonna ask:
When you stagger an enemy, is there a cooldown before the next stragger at all? Cause it seems like no

[minor fractal]

Yes, seems to be that the animation has to finish.

Limb destruction stagger has no CD, but is also not affected by the stagger multi.

[vital sierra]

animation is the cooldown

that's why people wait like 1 - 2 second to do the second melee hit

if you can kill a giant with 3 hit confidently, then you don't need to wait

[sonic plank]

alright thanks a lot

cause we were on about hammer vs bat, im a bat fanboy and my friend was trying knife but the desync caused it to be pretty weird for him, so then i went on about the formula and the x5 for the bat since it also does hit pretty damn fast, so we were intrigued by how much we could bully something like a giant

if there was a mistake at one point and the thing woke up

cause solo i spam so knowing about the anim is really useful

[minor fractal]

Bat light attack has the right frequency for big strikers, at least.

If you just spam light attack it'll stagger on second swing just as the animation ends iirc.

[sonic plank]

beautiful

also, could desync have been the reason he felt the knife wasn't consistent, as in, he was sure to hit a trash mob in the head but game decided it was the shoulder so it didn't die?

[minor fractal]

Probably the delay on the swing or just a miss.

Desync should completely eat the hit.

[sonic plank]

yeah i also thought it could be a precision thing, since the group has been spamming sledgehammer since we started so people don't really try to be accurate

[minor fractal]

If the reticle isn't small, it won't be hitscan, it'll go through the swing animation to check for hits instead.

[sonic plank]

yeah i've been using that since the beginning, don't know about him obviously

[minor fractal]

The short range is def the main thing that's hard to get used to.

[sonic plank]

yeah, well, training it is

alright, thanks a lot for the answers, i really appreciate it

[tardy owl]

My aim sucks in gtfo, is there any way to train my aim with gtfo? I not familiar with FPS in general, so is there any FPS training that I can do so that I can aim better in gtfo?

[distant ice]

Launch game
Select level
Drop in solo
Start blasting

[tidal adder]

so im new and just curious, what is the rewards for completing e1

[ruby wasp]

Nothing

[restive fable]

Other than being a fuggin gamer?

[ruby wasp]

gamer ?

more like a babysitter

[latent obsidian]

you get a mask cosmetic

assuming you beat all the other levels to get there first

[ocean plinth]

Does anyone know on which level do u get a new mask?

Or how many mains u need to complete?

[restive fable]

I got a new mask for completing A1

I think cosmetic drops are random but idk

[ocean plinth]

Oh I see

I got a new camo for a1 😂

Also is it possible to solo b2 and b3

And the entirety of c

[restive fable]

Technically it’s possible to solo the entire game

[dry pumice]

There an entire list in main menu that specifies drops

There's a bunch of random drops, but some pre-determined as well.

[restive fable]

Oh mkay

[jaunty bear]

the mask for completing the rundown looks sick tbh

[lilac fulcrum]

If you click the unlock rewards button on the rundown screen it shows future rewards. It's either a static reward which is shown or a random reward from a pool

[dusky tiger]

What exactly is the hel shotgun good at?

The pellet spread is so much that even at close range it takes a few shots to kill a regular sleeper

[dry pumice]

It has very high stagger. Combined with penetration - that means the thing can lock entire swarms of sleepers in their place, allowing the rest of the team dispatch them.
Basically - it's more of a support weapon rather than a murder machine.

[dusky tiger]

Oh damn
Thanks for the info

[brazen sleet]

does anyone know R7D1, overload missions? My teammates and I need to do the "filtration startup", However, others I've seen on the youtube ppl, they don't need to do this (also this will make whole scene in fog).... sooo?

[wooden osprey]

it was a cheese method before but now you have to do filtration startup before doing high

(before you could wait till the end)

[dry pumice]

The mission was initially bugged / unfinished and allowed people to basically activate the overload mission last moment and then just leg straight to extraction point.
After a patch (that took like a month or two, lol) the finally did it so that if you choose overload - you can't proceed doing main path until you activate it. Then you have to play the rest of the level with the stupid shenanigans alarm until the very end. Utter nightmare.
I'm glad i managed to play the mission a literal day before the patch dropped... Dodged a bullet there.

[desert falcon]

"like a month or two, lol" patch came out 14 days after release

[vital sierra]

time flies

already 2 months

when r8

[desert falcon]

damn 😦

[vital sierra]

[brazen sleet]

awww @wooden osprey @dry pumice thanks very much QQ

[dry pumice]

As you can see - my perception of time is completely fucked

[desert falcon]

Happens ^^

[brazen sleet]

Then... I wonder know, if anyone pass after the R7D1 Overload update?

OJZ

[dry pumice]

There's probably people who did it the "right way" right form the beginning, just to flex on it.
Although there are rumors that the mission is STILL bugged, only now it spawns inappropriate amount of SPOILERS - like 3 instead of maybe 1-2, which makes the overload bullshit far harder than it should be.

Considering that the only viable tactic here is splitting up (1-2 guys push forward in stealth, 2-3 guys stay behind and defend) - even 2 spoilers spawning at once is a big problem as they can just take out the defensive squad all by themselves. Either you shut them down on approach or you're done

[spark wolf]

it oneshots shooters and nearly oneshots strikers

it's still good efficiency even with 2 shots per kill

high firerate and large mag

[brazen sleet]

we got 4 spoilers before done the filtration, and after we open the door, it will comes 2 spoilers ...

we had done d1 (not overload) few hours b4, but one of teammate crashed when we completed the mission(so he's data didn't show he completed d1)~ we consider to done the overload one for having a try~

now we just give up the overload one TAT that spoiler drive us crazy lol

[icy cave]

We did yesterday again. It was fine

C3PE is still harder

[vale urchin]

Yeah, I've been struggling a lot with c3pe

[tardy ingot]

c3pe honestl didnt feel that hard ._. And i say that having 2 maniacs who woke up every giant room there was

[vital sierra]

you guys playing it stealth?

[tardy ingot]

?

i mean as in. We kill stuff going through a room, scream happens and they both unga bunga to die

i have a clip where i revived them both in tandem 4 and 5 times

Just for them to insta die again

[vital sierra]

woke up giants

"Alright bois, start kiting, blue and green is down"

[tardy ingot]

i mean i had to kite the giants away to revive multiple times

The only other option is to die as client vs 8+ giants

[vital sierra]

i was in a lobby with 1 or 2 new players

every time they pissed a scout up, i gotta run for it

i did it for like, 5 times, getting REAL tired of it

[icy cave]

Still harder than D1 ovl

[vocal island]

Any consensus on the top Youtubers for informative GTFO content?

[icy cave]

Prof scaler and The real Khepri (until recently)

[silver fable]

It's also a murder machine. That swarm you locked in place? You can probably also just wipe it out entirely with that 14 shell clip. Ammo-efficiently too.

It also 10-shots giants, again ammo-efficiently.

[silver fable]

^ What I said to Artek

[soft crater]

I actually used this in my B3PE run

:V

though it was more a Stagger machine

[silver fable]

honestly maybe hel shotty + har would've been the go for my b3pe duo

I was using hel revo + deagle so I could get a little bit of support in (teammate was full pdw + shotgun waveclear)

[soft crater]

I think I went Hel shotty and High cal

but yeah idk since a duo set up is vastly different

[silver fable]

although I guess I like having range to hold on the cluster scan

hel shotty + deagle is kinda too much reload, too much clunky high power stuff

hel shotty is a special slotted in main

[soft crater]

yeah really pulls off with more and reliable teammates

[silver fable]

part of what makes hel shotty gross is that you get to pretend HAR or revolver is your main

[soft crater]

lol

I think for awhile I was running Hel shotty and pump

also shotgun sentry

full shotgun build

close range murder machine

[sly jackal]

is there a bug with D1 overload where it spawns like 3-4 Snatchers as soon as you activate it on terminal

[icy cave]

it should spawn snatchers the thing unclear is how many

[sage flax]

Yeah some say it should only spawn 1-2 or maybe its suppose to be rng cause fuck it

[icy cave]

people get random amounts ranging from 1-4

[sly jackal]

we've gotten 4 the first time and 3 the second

[icy cave]

Well hope you get 1 or 2. That is honestly very manageable

[spark wolf]

it was pretty consistent for me that it was just +1 every drop

and it does not stop at 4

[sly jackal]

yeah we've been getting between 2-4 every time

[tardy ingot]

wait how may did you see ?

[silent plaza]

Hey is there any way to know when the rundown ends/the new rundown starts?

[rigid sinew]

nope

but following current trends the estimate is around 6 months

[silent plaza]

man that is a lot of time with no new content....rip

we managed to make it unbannable

[silent plaza]

well I'll give it a try if it's safe

oh sick

[wooden osprey]

but not in main server

everything about modding other than talking about it

so dont play modded on main server

[midnight gazelle]

https://tenor.com/view/spider-man-we-one-gif-18212100

[midnight gazelle]

Yeah dont do that xddd

Big bad idea

[lyric heart]

if I joined a lobby of a match I havent unlocked and beated it (say i've only unlocked up to b1 and do B3) what happens to the other levels? Do I just automatically gain access to the other expeidtions or am I still locked to B1\

[noble sierra]

You still have to beat B1 to host C1/2/3, but your completion will count.

[lyric heart]

coolio

thanks

[solid quiver]

is there a way to skip the drop animation

it takes like 2 minutes

[mossy aurora]

its not just an animation, its actual loading

[craggy pier]

anyone got a pov of D2 doing objectives

[dapper sage]

does anyone know if r7 b3 secondary is time based or kill based when collecting the cubes?

[solid quiver]

but the loading for a1 is a lot faster

[mossy aurora]

maybe you were playign with peopel with faster PC's, maybe no one was tabbed out

that animation is literally just loading

[past mesa]

Ryk is correct

[mossy aurora]

u mean doing codes?

[solid quiver]

So what's the best way to deal with scouts

[mossy aurora]

melee them to the head (hammer and spear anywhere on head, bat/knife back of head), snipe them in the head/back, precision rifle headshot, choke mod headshot, high caliber pistol headshot as long as you arent too far away, revolver back of headshot

[mossy aurora]

time based

[craggy pier]

yknow how 2 or 3 ppl defend and then 1 or 2 go off and do other shit, idk what that other shit is and I wanna learn how to do it.

[mossy aurora]

I can stream a recording for you if you want

[craggy pier]

that would be sweet yeah

[mossy aurora]

I can do it now in a couple min if you're free

[craggy pier]

now works fine

Ik how to get the item in the charger scout room but don't know anything beyond the start of the shadow room

You mean like a virtual tour guide?

What daydream said and the numbers are the times completed for each respective difficulty, if there's a - that means there isn't a mode of that difficulty available for that level

[sour cape]

is it worth aiming down sights in close quarters against sleepers?

[viscid wolf]

what gun you using

its really a case by case basis, I would say always ads, but keep in mind that you may need to fall back or dodge a tongue

don't tunnel vision on shooting

[sour cape]

i used the SMG with thermal sights, but now im trying to use the assault rifle more often, i'm looking for something balanced but i suck at aiming
headshot modifiers exist, right?

[viscid wolf]

yes

if you have trouble aiming I'd suggest the standard smg

[sour cape]

whys that?

[viscid wolf]

easy to control

misses aren't impactful due to the big mag size and firing speed

and its very consistent

[sour cape]

how is the damage output?

[viscid wolf]

its decent

on the lower end but high firerate and big mag size

its definitely viable

not strong but very viable

[sour cape]

i'm just worried about ammo conservation because of the tone of GTFO

[silver fable]

smg is fine on ammo

the main drawback of smg is range

[sour cape]

what do the stats mean, like "range?"

[silver fable]

damage starts to fall off beyond a certain range

smg falls off after 5m

[quartz estuary]

my friend and i play as a duo and just fill the remaining spots w bots and i wanna know why they will dump half a mag into you and then shoot the alien mofos

[icy cave]

Because they are not people

[quartz estuary]

right

[vital sierra]

it'll be better if you don't stand infront of them

they will shoot no matter what

[warm sun]

How long does a rundown remain in game?

[vital sierra]

right now, since we have roadmap

about 3 months

every time they do an extension, it goes up to 6 months, which is a really long time

[icy cave]

you are really optimistic

[sage flax]

i hope you like waiting for rundowns

[icy cave]

Let him finish this one first

[icy cave]

Honestly I'm not expecting R8 before november. BUT ..... you never know

[quartz estuary]

we dont i watched one turn and shoot my friend and occasionally they will run at the scary men

[icy cave]

again it's just an AI. That being said I have been shot by human teammaten as well 🤔

[sage flax]

my guess is R8 in oct/ nov then R8.5 christmas

[quartz estuary]

prolly AI

[icy cave]

Santa headgear as timed drop

[sage flax]

red glowsticks coming back pog

[vital sierra]

well yes, that was what their usual work time back when we don't have extension

[icy cave]

actually liked the Orange ones

[vital sierra]

literally 2 - 3 months a rundown

until extension hit

[warm sun]

What are extensions?

[icy cave]

I mean I hope you are right

[vital sierra]

r4, extension
r5, extension
r6, extension

[vital sierra]

extension is just extra level for the current rundown

[icy cave]

It's like a .5 of the rundown they expand it with a couple of levels

[warm sun]

Oh neat

[vital sierra]

it's basically a "delay" type of thing

but, it was a planned "delay"

[icy cave]

So if we get R7.5 we stay on R7 but we get an A2 for example

[vital sierra]

and we do not have extension this rundown

[icy cave]

Plz no X missions anymore

[vital sierra]

[icy cave]

Or it's not listed on the roadmap

[vital sierra]

unless they pulled a 180 and add it in the roadmap

[sage flax]

i think its just gonna be X mission cause story is stor

[vital sierra]

there is nothing that said rundown 7.5

they only wrote Rundown 7

and below it was rundown 8

[icy cave]

I know

[vital sierra]

and it's in 2022

[icy cave]

but I am just saying: what if it's just not on the roadmap

[vital sierra]

we can ask Calle

[icy cave]

Yes december is also still 2022 :(

[icy cave]

hé is on holiday for 4 weeks

[vital sierra]

well, if we have extension, it will be passed december

[desert grove]

Is it better to kill a scout with bullets compared to being detected by the feelers?

[vital sierra]

you could, if you can stagger the scout or 1 shot kill it

[icy cave]

Compared to getting detected: yes

compared to bonking the head stealthily : no

[desert grove]

So the consequences of shooting a scout to death < detected by scout

[icy cave]

Hey I hope you are right, already finished R7. so the earlier the better

[icy cave]

You shoot it, you deal with the room. You get detected: you deal with the room + a wave he Spawns

[desert grove]

Oh I wish sometimes me and my teammates standing as still as can be while I’m waiting in it’s path to bonk it when it suddenly decides to shoot out it’s feelers

[icy cave]

your choice

Obviously only shoot it with stuff that can actually one shot it. Otherwise.... well

[icy cave]

You can walk up to it while charging. That way you are not that dependent on the perfect opportunity

[desert grove]

Wouldn’t that make it detect me then?

Or are you saying there’s a grace period for when it does detect you

[icy cave]

1 to 2 secs

[icy cave]

You walk up to him when he is not feeling and then smack him is what I meant. Even if he suddenly starts feeling you will be on top of him by that point

It will take a couple of fails to get timings down

[desert grove]

Noted

[icy cave]

But it is definitely something very very usefull. cause sometimes shooting a scout is just not viable

[desert grove]

Thanks

[icy cave]

for example when there's 4 in one room

[desert grove]

Oh-

I’m definitely not far enough in the rundowns for that

Cant wait

[icy cave]

Oh well. oops 😅

Now you have something to look forward to.

[desert grove]

I’m so excited 😩

If push comes to shove I’ll just tell my squad mates to all pick sniper for that sweet one shot

Probably would get us killed but eh you live you learn

[icy cave]

And then there are 6 scouts in a room.

time to open up 6 player lobby 😅

[desert grove]

Then I cry

[silver fable]

scouts are not sleepers

they don't have the redlight-greenlight pulsing behaviour that sleepers do

you can run around a scout without waking it up

you will force it to deploy feelers though

[distant ice]

They kind of are they just react with feelers instead of screaming

[desert grove]

Yep any soft detect that makes sleepers glow triggers feelers for scouts

[silver fable]

you also have a grace period of ~1.5secs between when a feeler is touched and when the scout goes invulnerable

less time if you actually touch or damage the scout

mostly you want to 1shot the scout

some weapons can 2shot scouts, but it's not a beginner thing

[ruby wasp]

Spamming choke mod isn't a beginner thing ?

😳

[silver fable]

okay true

but choke 1shots so...

[ruby wasp]

Not with a front shot

[silver fable]

with a front headshot it does

[ruby wasp]

Not scout chargers

[silver fable]

we're not talking about charger scouts

[ruby wasp]

I'm a simple man

i see scout

I get scout charger flashbacks

😳

[sour cape]

what are the weaknesses for the scouts? how do you get rid of them?

[ruby wasp]

get rid of them ?

wot

ok nvm i'm an idiot

The weakness of regular scouts is the head

[sour cape]

how are you going to get close enough to try to go for the head?

[ruby wasp]

When they retract

they walk very slowly

If one of their tentacles touches you, you have approx 1.5s before it forcefully retracts & triggers

Which is enough time to kill them

[icy cave]

Bonk

[ruby wasp]

You can abuse that fact and run while charging your hammer

If they hear someone running they deploy instantly (they don't scream because of that)

So you can keep running through the tentacles & hit them

[icy cave]

Just make sure to hit them on the head, not shoulders or anything else

[sour cape]

is it viable to sneak up on them rather than rushing?

[icy cave]

You can wait for it on its path to come to you

Also if you have knife..... rip

[ruby wasp]

If you have a knife or a bat you must hit them to the back of the head

not the neck, not the front of the head

[silver fable]

knifing scouts is fun

[silver fable]

I think there are some good reddit threads explaining different scout kill options

some specials kill scout with a headshot, some need occiput (i.e. back of the head), you can use tools like cfoam or mines, or you can melee

eventually you probably will need to learn to melee scouts so that you can take them down stealthily and quickly

probably the only thing I miss from my noob days is synchronized headshotting of 2 scouts in the same room

now 2 scouts is usually just 1 scout followed by 1 scout

[vital sierra]

knifing scout is fun, until charger scout

[silver fable]

I don't even particularly like hammering charger scouts

[icy cave]

Imo knife is just meh overall

[silver fable]

like, I know team hammering charger scouts is the hot skill thing, but eh

[icy cave]

prefer to foam em actually

[silver fable]

the exciting thing about scouts isn't the execution of meleeing them

[silver fable]

knife is wonderful if you're mainly facing rooms with lots of littles

I bring it whenever I can get away with it

hammer obv. if you 're going to be dealing with a bunch of bigs and/or chargers

[icy cave]

Even then it feels so weak.

[eternal bridge]

When I first started gtfo… I was always using Biotracker cuz I was so afraid to wake rooms

[silver fable]

seems like you just don't know how to speed-clear with knife

[icy cave]

I know, I just don't like it

[silver fable]

fair

[vital sierra]

until C3

[silver fable]

sure, c3 is the fun side of hammer play

[icy cave]

Running around with the Hammer is still the best imo

[eternal bridge]

Also… I would like to see if the Sound bug would be reversed into an actual danger for R8

[icy cave]

But to each their own

[eternal bridge]

Silence… as a danger

[icy cave]

So you mean just nothing new for you 😅

[eternal bridge]

And have everyone suffer? Maybe XD

Suffer as I have suffered! Maybe you will improve skill-issue?

XD

[icy cave]

My skill issue is too deep

Can't get past A1

😭

[eternal bridge]

Nah. I’m still unable to get past Error! Unnamed Level

[icy cave]

Error is a fun level yeah

[eternal bridge]

But on a serious note tho…. I’d liked to see how people experience silence as is

And see their reactions to it. Reactions to stealth and more

(Ive scared my teammates shitless many times cuz I was walking in a room with pulsing mobs)

[icy cave]

R8 will probably have a sound bug forcing everyone to play in silence.

[eternal bridge]

But sound bug can sometimes randomly go away during said run

I mean as in full purposeful no sounds

[icy cave]

Would be pretty neat

I hope they have more levels like C3

[eternal bridge]

C3 is quite something

Half of it is just pure melee only

[icy cave]

Or even one where there is no ammo AT ALL

[eternal bridge]

I wonder if R8 would probably have a neat addition of a Anti-Sound scare

[icy cave]

Scout that when screaming, makes your character deaf for 10 minutes

[eternal bridge]

I’m sure lack of sounds is ENOUGH to piss anyone’s pants

[icy cave]

Only appears in pitch black levels

[sly jackal]

Imagine they make a mission like C3 but like D2 From R6

[brave sapphire]

I like the more open layouts too

[tardy ingot]

Does putting in 1 cell in c2 reduce the fog in anyway?

instead of the 2 which completely lowers it?

[noble sierra]

No, I usually just go Z150 for bulkhead key at 1/2. And have only person go Z150 with a cell while 3 others just go back to cluster and afk there. Putting in one cell does nothing to the fog level.

[maiden cypress]

it does for 5th cell if you do checkpoint

[tardy ingot]

Yep thats what i remember aswell

[tardy ingot]

aka it bugs out if you checkpoint

[maiden cypress]

yuhh

[tardy ingot]

which i dont personally care for

[storm crystal]

What are the requirements for c3 secondary?
We did the bulkhead secondary and got the new bulkhead key for main, but didn't get secondary completion. Is there a progression that doesn't have a quest tracker?

[vital sierra]

unless the checkpoint save the cell count

then that's why it happen

[vital sierra]

you need to put a command into a terminal in extreme

[storm crystal]

That's the overload

[tardy ingot]

no, overload is a uplink

[noble sierra]

There is a terminal requires password from two different terminals, put in designated command complete c3 secondary.

[storm crystal]

Hrmmmm, I did that though.
On the second terminal you gotta do the read command for the passwords, but that's the uplink

[vital sierra]

you won't complete extreme until you put command in

putting the code in do nothing

that was a mistake one of my pub teammate thought

"putting the code in = extreme done"

[lucid badge]

Would also advice getting the bulkhead key first before putting in command.

[woeful coral]

do boosters apply to only the individual? or the whole squad?

[supple sleet]

individual

[restive fable]

Mkay so I’m extremely directionally challenged and get turned around like all hell, any tips for reading the map?

[supple sleet]

what general tips do you need?

its basic to read the map just note that the map won't show how the map is layered out like multiple floor rooms

[restive fable]

I’ll think I know where to go and follow the map, but hit a wall

[latent obsidian]

try focusing more on where the doors and security doors are rather than just going from point A to point B

[floral acorn]

and learn the tiles. this tile is always door on the 2nd floor, not bottom floor etc. u learn to navigate like ... that door, up those stairs on the left, turn right after..

gtfo map imho needs at least rudimentary 3d like many games do

[restive fable]

Mkay

[latent obsidian]

Its taking me a while to learn these new very vertical tiles 😬

[floral acorn]

the garden stuff is a maze for weeks to come

just like floodways can be confusing at times

[latent obsidian]

Its kinda cool how they've made quite a hostile place to fight waves just by adding some foliage

Like on B1 you'd much rather be fighting on the clean white stone above you, not in the dark weeds

[floral acorn]

agreed, many a garden room pulled since r7

[craggy pier]

Just bought the game, am I missing much for not having played the previous rundowns?

[ruby wasp]

yes

[gilded jolt]

yes but dont worry about it

I mean no

[craggy pier]

you missed quite a lot

[gilded jolt]

Guys you are just gonna make them feel left out

[latent obsidian]

its kinda the truth tho

[craggy pier]

I mean, I bought the game when I got a job, hard to do otherwise

[gilded jolt]

yeah

fair

dont worry about it

just enjoy the game

[vital sierra]

you're not missing out that much

[craggy pier]

ok, thanks for the answers 👍

[ruby wasp]

I prefer saying the truth than openly lie to them, even if it's harsh

[vital sierra]

most of the thing you miss are only lore

[gilded jolt]

they only missed 61 levels from r1-r6

[ruby wasp]

Doesn't mean he's gonna be marginalized tho

Many people joined in R6 (which was a huge joke) & R7

[gilded jolt]

true r6 kinda doo doo

[ruby wasp]

So it's not THAT MUCH of an issue

[craggy pier]

That's a friggin lot

[gilded jolt]

dont worry about it

A lot of the levels have shared mechanics/objectives

[craggy pier]

internally worrying a lot

[gilded jolt]

they kinda blend together once you've played a lot of them

[steel valley]

most levels outside the d/e tier in prev rundowns aren’t very interesting

many ideas are reused in different contexts anyways

[gilded jolt]

yeah

[craggy pier]

Kinda like eggs, sometimes boiled, sometimes fried sometimes in omelete

[gilded jolt]

yeah all the levels are "unique" but a lot of them use the same tiles, same objectives, same mechanics and all that

[craggy pier]

can you play gtfo with just 2 people?

[lyric heart]

Yes

[supple sleet]

Yes you get bots to take the empty slots if you wish, bur difficulty does spike somewhat

[dry pumice]

What does C3 overload does to increase difficulty, specifically? More big lads or something?

[sour cape]

people speedrun GTFO? how does that work?

[restive fable]

Yes and no, think of it this way, each rundown is harder so your only missing easier missions
