gtfo-lore

[keen mantle]

That bug Hunter one?

[final sentinel]

Yeah

[keen mantle]

I thought they were referring to just that specific mob in the next leak?

[cunning light]

You can hear new sounds at the end of the BH leak. Now, there is no way to know if they come from the same enemy as the leaked one or another.

[grave quest]

guys I think rundown will have been published by christ,as

[crisp citrus]

jesus christ is working on r8...?

yo???

The Bible 2 crossover with GTFO?

[grave quest]

Well, I think is more for deduction , they published alt rundown 6 in september so they had time , then they told to us that rundown 8 will be the last one so it makes sense that they want to finish gtfo so they can start 2024 developing their next game ,calle said also that they could not make the trailer with the gamer tag of the users with that we can deduce that they are in mid-last phases of developing and they are working on the trailer

But this is only especulation

[crisp citrus]

I hope then after "finishing" GTFO they patch bugs and balance stuff

[grave quest]

I hope so

WE NEED THE ENDING

of prisioners story

[gilded vine]

wrong ,we need more innovation in gtfo

[storm flame]

are they gonna fix the bot dialogue and add all the missing reactionary stuff?

[raw terrace]

=idk why this is on lore but the lack of characters talkin its a thing not a bug
and the dauda lines hopefully next rundown

[storm flame]

wut

[raw terrace]

which part

what is the wut for

[storm flame]

why is it a "thing" for the game?

[burnt wren]

Devs were observed on record saying "random character dialogue ruins immersion" or something among those lines.

Which is why our lads are so hesitant to speak as much as they could.

[storm flame]

warning your buddies that a door exploded isnt a random dialogue. Thats what chatter reborn does

[burnt wren]

Fairly certain that works in vanilla too. Hell, they sometimes screen "THEY'RE BREAKING IN!" when you yourself break the door.
Although it doesn't work reliably 100% of the time.
Either way: devs just don't see as an issue.

I bet in their minds you should be saying whatever characters are saying yourself, on the mic.

[storm flame]

oh well

[lilac island]

oh

oh ok

so then lets remove the funny fall damage chatter from the characters too

make em all mute protagonists who cares

metro exodus.mp4

[coral gorge]

lets make schafer and henri only talk in onomatopeyes too

[royal crow]

we need another schafer asmr

[lilac island]

scheaffer chokes you out ASMR

[royal crow]

[lilac island]

what

he kills a dude

by i assume choking the life out of him

[royal crow]

well
getting choked by scheaffer seems fun

[lilac island]

make that ASMR

nah

shit-covered gloves

not hygienic

[royal crow]

how the fuck do i send MP3s

man, i hate discord

[coral gorge]

Next gamescom: experience your favorite schafer choking moments first hand!

[royal crow]

SIGN ME UP

I NEED

[coral gorge]

to be choked by schafer?

[royal crow]

||yes||

[fresh gyro]

YO

[harsh pike]

pain.

mfw my character gets teleported to an alien planet and has nothing to say about it

[keen bobcat]

yeah bug pretty sure

I can't remember but i'm pretty sure when R6 dropped when you got teleported the characters said something back then but when i was replaying it because of it comin back there was no dialogue

i had a clip but i lost it

but if its not a bug it would be nice if the characters did talk feel more immersive

[lost drum]

I remember them saying something like, "Did we get out?" or "What is this place?"

[coral gorge]

i think hackett would say smth like „did anyone else see that?”

[lost drum]

You wouldn't believe how many lines of dialog are in the files unused. Initially, the developers planned the most elaborated interactivity with the characters, they could react to all sorts of situations, it was said in their "movie" about the game. But later on, apparently, this was abandoned, and it's a pity.

[tame goblet]

Mod called chatter reborn salvages a lot of the lines if you want them back. Makes the atmosphere way better. Even hear voice lines I've never heard before still.

Another questionable decision by the devs to remove all the lines that add to the atmosphere and connection between characters.

[raw terrace]

i still best option its just a slider to chose how much u want ur characters to talk

not even a slider maybs just three options, full partial and none

so that way youtubers that do get affected by dialogue just hear none

and people who just wanna hear lines hear em all

and people who are in the middle get the system that its on place rn

[keen bobcat]

yeah good idea they could also be an option in settings for dialogue like "minimal chatter" or something like that Killing floor 2 has it if you don't want characters speaking too often

[frank shore]

wheres the lore for dummies?

i have millions of questions

[raw terrace]

its on the pinned section :3

[frank shore]

is it the gtfo timeline utube vid?

[raw terrace]

no

it a document

hold on

[raw terrace]

#gtfo-lore message

i think the timeline video its old, and doesnt cover the alts, didnt it come out on og r6?

either wat that text is probs the more up to date lore compilation

[frank shore]

that doesnt explain how the virus affects humans, how humans started to take actions for it etc

or the monster explanation

i mean like a normal sleeper to giants, scouts, snatchers, tank/immortals, birthers etc.

what kind of person mutates to normal ones and special ones or kraken at all

[royal crow]

about the kraken we dont know anything
we only know he lives in the desert plannet

[frank shore]

and what about the unique mutated monsters or monsters in general

[loud urchin]

Kraken is most likely alien life and not a mutated human

[crisp citrus]

i know thigns about it

the kraken is in reference to the mythological giant squid

[raw terrace]

nope, we have only some pieces of their like how they behave n stuff but there is 0 like canon info about it in the logs or somewhere in the game

[crisp citrus]

because they are both large

and have tentacles

[raw terrace]

if u saw some dude like explaining the biology

[royal crow]

im pretty sure they are just random mutations

[raw terrace]

it was just especulation

[royal crow]

Roanoke?

[raw terrace]

we have 0 canon info on like how they inform why the teeth why they shoot etc etc

[raw terrace]

idk ive seen the thumbnial never the video

[frank shore]

so if kraken is alien form, does that include the fliyin tentacle ones too?

since it spawns billions of em

[royal crow]

yes

[burnt wren]

Surely...

[royal crow]

if i have to guess
the kraken might be some sort of hive mind?

[frank shore]

damn, wanted to know more bout monsters

[raw terrace]

theres only one log if i recall talkin like very in deep about em

https://gtfo.fandom.com/wiki/ALT://Rundown_3.0_Logs

the first one

[frank shore]

i watched/heard few of the state of truth audio logs and idk what tf is he talking about or how its related to gtfo in any way at all or maybe im just bad at english

[burnt wren]

Santonian politics

[frank shore]

he just talks about over n over about something or someone hiding things from people

[raw terrace]

state of truth centers more of yeah politics than the aftermath of the apocalypse

[burnt wren]

But ultimately it is inconsequential

[frank shore]

aftermath? meaning its after what happened?

[raw terrace]

its how santonian just was very shady and probs just let the virus free by their own like corruption

[frank shore]

so people are STILL alive

[raw terrace]

after the world went to shit

[royal crow]

yes and no

[frank shore]

not only the 4 players

[royal crow]

everyone is going to die

[raw terrace]

also i think only in the ALT people on the surface are alive

[royal crow]

and the people inside the HSU's

[raw terrace]

on the og everyones dead

i think

[frank shore]

wym alt and og

[burnt wren]

It's a toin coss

[frank shore]

there are multiverse? parallel?

[royal crow]

yes

[burnt wren]

Yes.

[royal crow]

theres multiple world lines

[frank shore]

dafuq

[burnt wren]

I thought you knew this.

[royal crow]

we are now in the Alt

[frank shore]

no

[royal crow]

Alt R1,2,3,4,5 and 6

some things changes

like Schaeffer now works with the warden

[frank shore]

didnt schaeffer afraid or thought warden was the enemy?

[royal crow]

yes

[frank shore]

but isnt warden an alien ai

from what i understood

[burnt wren]

Yes.

[royal crow]

that was in Og in the Alt Rundowns he seems more calmed
and works with the warden "trying to find a way to save humanity"

[frank shore]

after schaeffer encountered 2 unique lifeforms

1. talking sleeper
2. literally alien from what i understood and they created warden to help us if thats true or not

[frank shore]

so is it true or nah? is warden really good side or badd side

[burnt wren]

Not quite. Bad English doesn't help it seems.

[royal crow]

we dont know

Schaeffer doesnt even knows

[burnt wren]

It's a most likely a ruse.

[royal crow]

id say the warden is just playing with us

[frank shore]

y tho

what for

also how did 4 players die in the OG universe?

[crisp citrus]

they were worse than us

(canon)

[frank shore]

what does that mean

[crisp citrus]

literally what it sounds like

[frank shore]

i see

[crisp citrus]

we the players play as the [Best Version] of the main 4

we never fail and in lore win every mission first try no casualties

[frank shore]

did they die at the same time or one by one?

[crisp citrus]

cant be determined but one by one makes sense

assuming they didnt split up

[crisp citrus]

i may be wrong

i cant recall if theres a log talking of it

[frank shore]

i wonder how they died or what killed them

[royal crow]

im sure they arent dead

isnt alt a continuation from og?

[raw terrace]

a continuation?

[royal crow]

idk
i read something like that in here

[raw terrace]

i dont, believe so

[frank shore]

yall just said they died in og and now alt is sequel of og despite its multiverse/parallel thingy what?!

[raw terrace]

why would bishop find bishop dead

and then bishop extracts

[royal crow]

lol

true

[royal crow]

at this point dont question anything

[frank shore]

but i want to know T_T

im starting to think that devs themselves dont even know or created the lore

i hope in r8 there will be new enemies/guns/tools and explanation of lore

[raw terrace]

the devs created the lore

obv

they

made the game

it has gone on overcomplication with the alts

[royal crow]

just sit back and enjoy the game

[crisp citrus]

the lore is strange

[royal crow]

[crisp citrus]

that is all

[frank shore]

whens r8 dropping live?

[royal crow]

we dont know

[frank shore]

at the very least can someone give me anwsers on about the talking sleeper?

[royal crow]

he isnt a sleeper

[frank shore]

the one that says are u a prisoner? u and i are not much different, talks slowly and weird like a zombie
the one triggers a scout yet doesnt get killed by other sleepers despite being one

and can TALK most importantly

[frank shore]

so what is he and how was he created or any nfo bout him?

[royal crow]

he is called "the conduit"
it speaks for the warden

[frank shore]

wasnt conduit an alien?

[royal crow]

no

its a human clone

[frank shore]

but from what i heard in audio logs it was much more intelligent or speaks normally deeper voice than this one

and touches a scout yet monsters dont kill or attack him? why despite him being a human clone then

like this
https://youtu.be/nRH4cpeVODU?list=PL2vsS5ir0658Q4EKvxUnjGEVGVQF71pye

[royal crow]

schaeffer in og is afraid of the warden

schaeffer felt in danger

so he shot the conduit later on

and

he is like

invisible for sleepers

idk if thats explained

[frank shore]

schaeffer killed the conduit yes but why is the conduit invis then? despite being a clone of a human

and talks weird

[royal crow]

he is like an artificial clone

made from 0

by the warden

[frank shore]

0?

[eternal talon]

dont... that video has hundreds of major flaws

[royal crow]

from scratch

its like the warden attempt on making a human

but obviously
it didnt end well

[eternal talon]

honestly they are simply infected humans being puppeted by a highly mutated parasite and virus that wont ever let them die

[frank shore]

so like last of us?

[eternal talon]

some disintegrate when killed, some dont, there are dozens of different variants the parasite can mutate you into depending on what the hive needs at the time

[eternal talon]

not quite, the host isn't dead. no zombies here!

its sort of like the flood from halo

[frank shore]

dont know about flood sorry

i meant the virus is like the same with last of us
since in LOS the virus also dont let host die

[eternal talon]

well realistically people would be alive on the surface in both worldlines, original and alt//, but in our original worldline they had significantly better chances since the parasite never made it out of garganta but it did in alt.

[eternal talon]

so far in gameplay alone we have been to 6? 7? different worldlines and we know of a total of 9

3 of which were in r6d4 by itself, jumping between alterate earths

[eternal talon]

yes, different schaeffers.

[eternal talon]

thats what it says... we have no reason to believe it is telling us the truth, or otherwise...

it holds all the cards in garganta and we just have to play along

[raw terrace]

the og? didnt it got out in there too?

[royal crow]

unless scaeffer pulls another R7D2

[eternal talon]

we don't. we are playing as our original squad in alt//. we find the alt// versions of us (two of them) dead in alt//r6cx

[royal crow]

@raw terrace see

alt is a continuation from OG

[raw terrace]

thats not- i thought u meant like the ALT happening after the og as in they are the same timeline

[royal crow]

aaaaaah my bad then

[raw terrace]

thats what the word continuation tells me ksmdkm

[eternal talon]

i know it is a debated topic, but it is extremely in favor of alt// being a continuation.

[raw terrace]

nah its my, english

bad english

[coral gorge]

god i saw this convo and thought to myself - "god this will be a mess to explain", thank fuck frosty is here to suffer with explaining the broken mess of this games lore

[royal crow]

i bet Frosty died inside when trying to find sense to the lore

[eternal talon]

different worldlines. r1-r7 is original. alt//r1-alt//r6 is alt//

consider them different universes

[coral gorge]

also its not really a clone

[eternal talon]

because thats basically all they are

[coral gorge]

its an artifically grown human

[royal crow]

thats what i basically said after

[coral gorge]

ah

didnt read the whole thing

too much for my brain

[eternal talon]

basically the hosts are still alive in there. the virus doesn't let the parasite and its host ever die. (despite dying if only infected from nam-v and not the parasite)

[royal crow]

maybe its loo late for you
go to sleep

[eternal talon]

the for dummies doc describes this as basically (the virus makes the parasite and its hosts immortal so it never runs out of food)

because otherwise it'd just eat through ecosystems at lightning speed and starve to death

its not self sustainable

[coral gorge]

now wether the host is still conscious is a diffrent rabit hole i do not want to visit again

[eternal talon]

so it takes advantage of the parasite to just sorta sit and wait for thousands, maybe millions of years before it can feast again

[royal crow]

that would be.... disturbing

a fate worse than death

[coral gorge]

well we had this convo with frostty before

strikers most likely arent conscious

[eternal talon]

nope, only the virus, so everybody up there just died, NOT turned into sleepers, thankfully

[coral gorge]

snatchers and shooters might be

[royal crow]

huh

explain

[coral gorge]

heads

[royal crow]

ooooh

[coral gorge]

striker heads can be broken without killing the creature

shooters heads pop after death

[eternal talon]

its really not that big of a deal. i'm just responding to one post at a time as i slowly scroll down until i've responded to everything -- like i always do

[coral gorge]

and snatcher seems to be very human

[royal crow]

so the brain is still "intact"

in a way

[coral gorge]

possibly

i hope that we will get a vivisected sleeper in R8

i know we wont but let me hope

so we can get some actual anatomy info

[eternal talon]

ehh, over time a lot of things became easier and easier because of how much i've got stuff saved up and compartmentalized. stuff like the for dummies doc and others to catalogue things for quick reference makes looking through the 200+ logs a million times easier

[eternal talon]

probably not in the case of strikers and such, but when we get to things like shooters and especially snatchers... its debatable

[eternal talon]

oh it abso-fucking-lutely is.

[eternal talon]

we know insight were close to performing an autopsy on one, (one of the ones from the inner as a matter of fact, so even more special), but kovac took it away

[coral gorge]

=(

goddamn you kovac

give me my frog

i mean vivisected sleeper

[eternal talon]

We also have been denied any data from the autopsy of the creature found in Level 27, despite the potential for the life form to be carrying bacteria or viruses for which we have no remedy. Indeed, KDS are now actively denying any life form was found, despite several of our staff being present at the initial discovery. The truth, it seems, is now negotiable.

[burnt wren]

Lowkey sick of 1984 company cliche

How about everyone tells everything to everyone, but they die because the threat is just too much to handle, hmmmmmmmmmmm

[crisp citrus]

"damn that shits wild-"

dies

like that?

[burnt wren]

Basically

[crisp citrus]

a reasonable plot development

[burnt wren]

Not even in the mood to rant

At least the medical department got brains i suppose

Need more logs on those chads

[loud urchin]

That's what happens when you get a bunch of scientists together I guess

[icy lichen]

The asset is identical. They just added more lights to the room. I agree the original room looks better though.

[raw terrace]

i much prefer greenish foam tbh
also this is gtfo lore how did we get here

[icy lichen]

the poop ceiling is important to the lore

[tame goblet]

That's just R6 lighting changes which has incorrect light falloff, making everything look stupid.

[icy lichen]

is there a mod that fixes that?

[tame goblet]

Light Adjustment

or even OldSchoolGraphics

but you might want to change the values yourself on the mod to get what suites you.

[raw terrace]

r6 looks pretty i love

[icy lichen]

ok gamers t minus 10 minutes before my next poop ceiling image dump. time to try those mods

[tame goblet]

Try one at a time then try both at once, you will get different results

[eternal talon]

... just how far back in this feed were you digging?

[icy lichen]

idk how i got there but it piqued my interest

[raw terrace]

tbh i think u can keep the mod images u mentioned to urself

first cause this is gtfo lore

second cause game modded

[gusty halo]

those were failed mutations. people who partially mutated and did not make it to full infestation before dying or terminating themselves I think

[royal crow]

okay
im 100% serious about this

how do we eat? or go to the bathroom?

like whats the ingame lore explanation?

[raw terrace]

we dont need to cause of the hsu i think

[royal crow]

so the HSU provides us with all the nutrients and vitamins we need?

[raw terrace]

no more like it just freezes us so we dont need shit cause we are dead

but with liquid

[royal crow]

but at some point we will need some sort of food

[raw terrace]

... nah

[royal crow]

hmmmmm

[eternal talon]

not only are you quoting a wrong comment that was corrected later in that conversation, that entire conversation was literally a month ago

[eternal talon]

there is none. there are also no bathrooms, kitchens, dorms, or anything of the sort in gameplay

[raw terrace]

u always get infection from a syringe i think its feom 3 to 12 but u always get infection and it doesnt affect ur health until its 10% otherwise u can heall fully and nothing happens

no 3 to 10

what r u writing its scaring me

no, no i doubt it

infection is just some other flu

theres a log already sayin the yellow one it was made

it was wonky funky or somethin

ok bye

[storm flame]

has anyone desiphered the audio log in b2?

[royal crow]

schizo moment

[fresh gyro]

Slendi schizo confirmed?

[lilac island]

i have

it's a gtfo themed navy seals copypasta

[storm flame]

care to elaborate?

[soft tartan]

Slendi part of the chimp theory confirmed?

[plush nest]

So I have a question

“Edgar Soweta encounters a creature on the lower levels in a recently excavated tunnel. It is currently unknown what this creature was, as it isn't described as anything like the sleepers we see in game, best guess at current is an infected Collector.” Could this be the picture that I think frosty sent that was like a tank creature?

[burnt wren]

Blueish fingerman under an air intake?

That's our guess for now

And it does fit a description given which is "2 people stiched together"

It does really look like that on the first glance

[plush nest]

Ya that man

[celest pagoda]

hold on what? I've been gone some time, where would this image be?

[eternal talon]

we have no idea what this creature is/was. as far as we know it was cut like the pre-release snatcher. (see first pic). AFIK it only appears in the background of a single soundtrack video on 10cc's youtube

the creature edgar encounters appears to have some of the abilities of the floater species, (local teleportation), despite being humanoid in appearance

[plush nest]

Wait

[eternal talon]

it could be this creature, but we dont know either way because at the end of the day it is cut content.

[plush nest]

Local teleportation like the floaters but humanoid ish?

Reminds me of the scout sentry thingy

[eternal talon]

Describe to me what you saw.
E105
You mean what was there.
TEALE
Is there a difference?
E105
You make it sound like I was hallucinating the whole thing.
TEALE
I didn’t mean to–
E105
I’m not a nutcase Teale.
TEALE
I know that. Please. Describe the creature to me.
E105
It was… in the shadows, but not physically there. Like it appeared from the shadows.
TEALE
So it was hiding in the dark?
E105
No. No, it came from the dark. Do you understand?
TEALE
No.
E105
I mean it wasn’t there, and then it appeared. It came from the dark.
TEALE
Like it materialized–
E105
Exactly! It materialized in the dark. From a different dimension or something.
TEALE
A different dimension?
E105
Or something. Shit, I don’t know.
TEALE
You know that’s not possible, don’t you Edgar?
E105
Then why did it happen?
TEALE
Perhaps you misinterpreted what happened.
E105
Listen to me Teale. It was there, whether you want to believe it or not. You want me to walk out of here right now?
TEALE
No, please. I’m listening.

E105
Yeah… well… just don’t even go there–
TEALE
Okay. Tell me what happened. You said it chased you?
E105
Yeah. We were spraying the drift in Quad 21–
TEALE
That’s a deep shaft.
E105
Yeah. It’s down there. So I’m running the Gunite hose with Werner–
TEALE
Now Werner didn’t see these creatures, correct?
E105
She stayed back to prep the Gunite. That’s why she didn’t see anything.
TEALE
Of course not. Go on.
E105
I’m walking the drift down towards the end, laying out the hose, and it’s dark, right? We haven’t sent Sparks down there yet because the drift is new and we have to finish spraying before they run cable.
TEALE
Go on.
E105
The light ends about 25 meters from where the end of the tunnel. So I turned my headlamp on, but it’s not seeing too deep because there’s still bug dust from the blast. Then I hear this sound - like a popping sound or… a clap of air, like a seal closing. THWAP!
TEALE
Yes.
E105
I start looking around in the dark and I see it. This creature. Just standing there, staring at me. Breathing real hard. It was… sort of human, but its head was hung low, like it broke its neck or something. Its legs were strong, muscular, but the arms were skinny and bent. It looked like two different bodies put together… and it’s looking right at me, panting.
TEALE
What did you do?

E105
I ran. What do you think I did?
TEALE
Did it chase you?
E105
Yes. I started yelling. Werner heard me and shone her flashlight down the tunnel.
TEALE
But she didn’t see anything?
E105
No, it disappeared. I don’t know - just stopped chasing me.
TEALE
Did you ever find it?
E105
I’m not going back there. send someone else down that tunnel. Fuck that.
TEALE
Is it possible it was human? Someone playing a joke on you?
E105
Are you fucking kidding me?
TEALE
I’m trying to understand what you saw–
E105
Look, that’s a closed tunnel, you understand? It’s a dead end. They haven’t finished blasting it. There’s no way to get down there other than walking right by me and Werner, and nothing, no one, walked past us. That thing was already there, in the dark. That’s what that sound was. It like… teleported or something.
TEALE
Teleported.
E105
This is a waste of my time.
TEALE
No. I’m trying to understand–
E105
I’m leaving. You want to know anything else, check the report. I’m done talking to you.
TEALE
HearSay off.
//HearSay auto-transcript ends//

[plush nest]

Buff legs, skinny arms, with a head that hung as if the neck was broken and two bodies

[plush nest]

Doesn’t really match this fella then

[eternal talon]

nothing like any of the known sleeper variants, yes.

[plush nest]

Maybe we’ll get answers later

Hopefully

[eternal talon]

who knows at this point.

ogr6 was quite some time ago now and GTFO development is winding down.

r8 as far as we are aware will be it.

[plush nest]

I am hoping that they can at least confirm bits of the story

[eternal talon]

regardless, I will be here to cover whatever they put out.

if you have any questions or want reference, don't be afraid to ping me

i'll get to it sooner or later

[plush nest]

and the devs took that as a challenge

[fierce frigate]

Can someone tell me the lore of this game? Like who are we, why are we in this facility? What's with the warden? What's actually goin on? And what's the actual story of this game?

I am really hooked onto this game, but getting confused as there are 2 stories simultaneously..

[cobalt mulch]

pinned messages on this channel have all sortsa recaps and -docs

[burnt wren]

Just read the pinned "for dummies" document, it will try to get you up to speed. Any specific questions you can ask here.

[fresh gyro]

whats the lore behind door bug 🙏

[lofty cargo]

whats the lore behind black circle bug

[raw terrace]

whats the lore behind these nnuts

[eternal talon]

Please stop

[fierce frigate]

thx man

[crisp citrus]

Diff timeline diff law of physics

[crisp citrus]

The parasite is infecting you causing hallucinations

[fresh gyro]

so true

[plush nest]

Is r8 part of the original time line or the alt?

[coral gorge]

we arent sure

but most likely both

[plush nest]

explain?

[coral gorge]

ALT and OG have merged after R7, giving us ALT R1-R6

and most likely R8

[eternal talon]

we dont know if r8 will have us go back to our original worldline, or if it will continue ALT//s, or if we will end up on an entirely different one by the end

probably us ending up at a different one by the end given what the warden told schaeffer, if not destination or wherever alt//durant went

[clear furnace]

or time travel

like that one instagram ad implied

[eternal talon]

no time travel here!

[cunning light]

Please no time travel. The multiverse is complicated enough.

steins gate does both and somehow makes it work.

Hey, i would say at least 20% of that is Thunk thunk goes the sleeper

Lets not sell the game short

[storm flame]

Cant wait for when they are all about to die and then all the daudas from all the other multiverses come to the gtfo

and then the main multiverse dauda says

"assemble"

and then they win and have to sacrifice iron man (jason davies) for humanity

[cunning light]

"Prisoners ! Assemble !"

[cobalt mulch]

daudangelic choire vocalizing beeeeeeggg

mwah 👌

[gusty halo]

with likely infinite universes odds are it exists somewhere 😁

[eternal talon]

R8 out?

Time to go digging

Err, I should say...

naxx out?

[past matrix]

here's the mission descriptions if anyone is interested:
R8A1: ||Objective adapted to asset relocation. Prisoners assigned to search for Matter Wave Projector. Collateral tollerance: low||
R8B1: ||Storing of nav data requires 3 data cubes. Contact with items may result in subject projection. Prisoners dispatched.||
R8B2: ||Navigation coordinates require sufficient storage. Prisoners to format Data Cubes from degausser terminals.||
R8C1: ||Project Insight access key identified in sector. Prisoners sent to retrieve Datasphere 741.||
R8D1: ||Interaction scheduled in Gardens sector. Erratic performance exhiited in isolated scans. Unit stack updated with location data.||
R8E1: ||ALERT: Containment vessel breached. Departure from KDS deep essential to asset survival. Fatality predicition disabled.||

the Intel button has changed:

"Error. Objective stack corrupted. Prisoners to return to hydrostasis pending command order restructuring."

"Addendum: Prisoners will obey all bojective stack updates and ignore previous orders. Warden protocols are no longer valid. Additional resources will be provided to stack compliant prisoners."

here's what happens in R8A1 if you can't play it atm and want to keep updated: ||The mission opens with Schaeffer saying we're now working with the Warden; the Warden just wants to help us deal against the Virus. So, we're using the MWP to teleport to a place with no virus and no sleepers. Picking up the MWP teleports you to the same room you picked it up in, except full of blood and bodies. Once you teleport back, Schaeffer explains he now has access to the Warden's database. The Warden has knowledge of time, space, etc. We deliver the MWP to Schaeffer via the scuttlebox, but The Warden warns us of a hull breach we have to escape from. Suddenly, the Garganta Alert System turns on, urging radiation teams to help control the situation because of a faltering reactor.||

[low folio]

so it IS a continuation of ALT? Or is it not?

[past matrix]

it is

[low folio]

nice.

man this sucks i have a fucking final toorrow i can't hop on

fuck calc

[past matrix]

my theory is that in r8e1 ||we'll fuck up the coordinates and be sent into the old timeline, where then a2, b3, etc will be||

[low folio]

fuck it i wanna see what new shit is added to the loadlouts

[eternal talon]

What new tools/weapons

[rose cradle]

we'll see what happens once someone finishes it tonight

[eternal talon]

(Also please post all logs in this channel everyone, we are exempt from the 2 week rule)

<@&408548765599793173> despite the post in discord announcements, this channel is still free for spoilers, correct?

As it has been every other rundown previously

[low folio]

...

none!?

NO NEW TOYS!?!?

[eternal talon]

I saw a "short rifle" image a bit ago

[shut mountain]

Yes, by the nature of this channel, you dont need to spoiler here.

[low folio]

do- do we get new toys?

[eternal talon]

Ty for the clarification

I'm not sure. I've not booted it up yet. Just got home from work

[low folio]

WE DO GET NEW TOYS!?!?!!!!!

OOOOHY!!!!

[short gazelle]

New melee weapons, one new shotgun, one new pistol, one new rifle (special weapon)

[low folio]

MELEE VARIANTS?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

[past matrix]

no new tools

[low folio]

BONK

[short gazelle]

Shotgun and pistol are primaries

[eternal talon]

#MaulMen

[low folio]

I CAN RETURN TO MAUL

[eternal talon]

Delivering Garganta's mail since 2019

[short gazelle]

All OG melee weapons are back, plus one new varient for knife, bat and spear

[low folio]

any variations in stats?

[short gazelle]

Maul my beloved

[eternal talon]

I'd assume just sledge clones

[short gazelle]

Looks to be just reskins

[low folio]

aww

[past matrix]

Promise mapper on launch
launch comes and theres no mapper
its been a year and a half and theres no mapper
final update comes and theres no mapper

[rose cradle]

where mapper 🤔

[eternal talon]

Yes, i saw your post in GtfoModding

Dissapointed too

[short gazelle]

All melee weapon stats have been changed, tho

[low folio]

a burst pistol....

[eternal talon]

Mmmmm
Can verify in the datablocks?

[short gazelle]

Patch notes lol

[eternal talon]

Not posted on discord yet

[low folio]

they are

#patch-notes message

[eternal talon]

What is the new r1d1 log?

We need to make note of that, in addition to r8 logs

[hot burrow]

|| Hackettts body ||

[low folio]

well that was fast

[short gazelle]

Oh my fucking god, they have a scout running around on all fours

[fossil kernel]

the new tentacle dude?

[short gazelle]

No

Just a scout running around like a mother

[fossil kernel]

i see

theres only 2 new enemies right?

[short gazelle]

New tentacle dudes are pretty much reskins

[fossil kernel]

oh

god damnit

[short gazelle]

From what I've seen so far, is the tentacle dudes, and this scout

[fossil kernel]

got it

[eternal talon]

what they do though

[fossil kernel]

they hit you

[eternal talon]

aha! another point for them being the alt//versions of our squad

[fossil kernel]

they're chargers from what i gather

[eternal talon]

(now i can finally post leaked stuff, yay!)
anybody been here yet?

[past matrix]

thats uhhh

c1

iirc

i mean b2

[fossil kernel]

do we get to kill them?

[short gazelle]

Tentacle shooters fire slower, diff colored shots that deal slightly more damage. striker and charger varients I think are just total reskins

All tentacle varients are a lot more sensitive to noise, and barely have heartbeats

[eternal talon]

so they STILL didnt impliment the infection shooters?

damn. that was so done in the code i was SURE thats what these would do

[short gazelle]

Not that I can tell, still in b1

[fossil kernel]

also has anyone has completed it already?

i just wanna know the ending

[eternal talon]

idk, i'm still installing

[zinc jackal]

do we know what/who the clone is?

[short gazelle]

Apparently we get to meet schaeffer in person, per the hidden achievements....

And what looks to be 2 seperate endings

[zinc jackal]

schaeffer mentions it in A1

[eternal talon]

given the limitations of levellayout... i could probably cconsole and find it eventually

[past matrix]

i havent kept up with the logs but maybe in the alt universe, schaeffer talks to Unit 22 instead of killing it

[eternal talon]

he does

[past matrix]

oh

[eternal talon]

alt//schaeffer and the unit had a conversation resulting in him deciding to help the warden

was an audio log in alt//r6

[zinc jackal]

are the alt rundowns not cannon for R7/8

[eternal talon]

alt rundowns are always canon!

[zinc jackal]

ah

[eternal talon]

just a different worldline

r7 isn't in the alt worldline

r8, we dont know yet, or at least i dont

but it seems to be majority in alt// worldline

[zinc jackal]

schaeffer says he is helping the warden in A1

of r8

[eternal talon]

then yes, still alt//worldline. OUR schaeffer would bash its bloody circutboard in

(always remember, alt//schaeffer is NOT OUR SCHAEFFER)

[zinc jackal]

when did this alt thing start/get confirmed?

[eternal talon]

before alt// even came out

[zinc jackal]

or did they want a big retcon, so just made the majority of stuff alt?

[eternal talon]

the devs covered it pre-alt//r1 launch

[eternal talon]

no, all original rundowns are still canon (if unplayable)

[zinc jackal]

huh

[past matrix]

r8 is

[eternal talon]

all of their old logs and such that were changed in alt// are still canon

[zinc jackal]

why do alt lore stuff??

[eternal talon]

OG is an entirely separate universe

[zinc jackal]

just confusing for the lay person

[eternal talon]

because we aren't in our original worldline. somehow we were moved to alt//, where we do alt stuff

[zinc jackal]

oh what

[eternal talon]

idk as to why, im just saying it as it is

[zinc jackal]

when was that revealed

[eternal talon]

i told you. before alt//r1 came out

[zinc jackal]

the wave matter did that?

[short gazelle]

Ah, man. Killing the scout at the end of b1 starts a wave anyway : (

[eternal talon]

it was in one of the announcement channels

[eternal talon]

likely not, we dont know

it was probably the result of one of our jumps in r7e1

we dont jump with the MWP at all in r7e1

they are all seemingly random jumps, nothing we do causes them to occur

[orchid fjord]

||a few feet away (r8a1)||

[eternal talon]

all of our alt// counterparts are dead!

[hot burrow]

gloofy as hell color pallet

[orchid fjord]

||first terminal (r8a1)||

[frail vessel]

Im going to sleep now, after a1, so if you guys will find something cool about lore, please ping me or pin it I dunno, Im really interested

[eternal talon]

aha, just as we theorized! he fucked up.

[past matrix]

Mr Truth

She

ok

[eternal talon]

you could always wait a couple days for the for dummies doc to be updated

[frail vessel]

I cant wait, I will be checking this chat everytime xd

[past matrix]

this is a good wrap-up for state of truth methinks

[orchid fjord]

he sounded injured while talking

[past matrix]

in the end he couldn't do anything and is now forced to watch and contemplate his life; it was all for nothing

[past matrix]

we love a gender fluid icon

[eternal talon]

ah..... 10cc.... typos forever.

[orchid fjord]

lots of interesting things ||after picking up the first datacube|| in r8b1

[eternal talon]

ik. currently soloing it

will post pics as i go along

MANY interesting things

[heavy lynx]

so

whats the lore for r8

there is a weird noise in r8b1 when u complete the main

[eternal talon]

rn im clearing secondary

(yes solo)

(door cheese god)

[heavy lynx]

is that the new warden in town

[heavy lynx]

f door cheese

[eternal talon]

don't hate. at least i'm honest about it

i couuuuuuld just noclip through everything if you'd prefer

but thats arguabley worse

[eternal talon]

wow that secondary tank sucked ASS

bots insta died

[cobalt mulch]

tots and banks

[eternal talon]

upon dropping in immediately to the right (woah, what the fuck is that?)

ceiling cocoon face

log

log (cont)

???

sleeper corpses and eggs

what the fuck is this

sleeper corpse W. tongue

roof tendrils???

guts

what in the everloving FUCK is/was this?

hahahaha 10cc

more strange biomass

more 10cc failures (hole in terrain)

off to r8b2 i go... (though i doubt i'll complete it tonight.)

oh, before i forget @frail vessel

[cobalt mulch]

this was in og r6d1 already, reactor complete lights on, walk back and look at specimen tanks along the way..

[rose cradle]

although that's true, those ceiling cocoons are new and terrifying, wtf

[meager burrow]

hey

Im on R8B2 rn

is it ok to send some pics here?

[eternal talon]

same

yep

we are exempt from the 2 week spoiler rule

[meager burrow]

warped me here

the sound in that area was so eery

[eternal talon]

they go away too after 2nd jump

currently in main after secondary

is hell

jungle gym of tortures

you'll see when you get there

just for the love of god bring a foam launcher or two

its nasty and your only defense are two small doors

on oposite ends of the arena

[meager burrow]

good thing I always do when im solo

[eternal talon]

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME!!??

YOU HAVE THE JUNGLE GYM THEN A KRAKEN BOSS FIGHT?

I BROUGHT DOUBLE SHOTGUNS!

[fresh gyro]

:P

[eternal talon]

fuck... gonna try it again in the morning.

[rose cradle]

LOL

[eternal talon]

made it through most of main and all of secondary tho

[rose cradle]

double shotty always for the win

[eternal talon]

but uh... yeah, for ya'll's future notice... bring snipers to r8b2

LOOK WHERE WE ARE! its r6bx!

they be gone after secondary

jungle gym of death

[final sentinel]

@eternal talon A1 second zone

[eternal talon]

door cheese

bullshit terminal command

[final sentinel]

there are || bodies on the ceiling btw || in A1

[eternal talon]

ik

seen pics posted alr

[final sentinel]

and a sec door

i am confused :)

[eternal talon]

i think... b2 solo with bots isnt gonna be that bad... just trust burst sentries and give them hel pistols/hel rifles and a fuckton of med to tank strikers worked for me flawlessly

its that damn kraken thats gonna be a bitch though

having to deal 100% of the damage myself

at least the bots will be good against floaters

[meager burrow]

I didnt do secondary and they still disappeared

[primal sequoia]

dont quite remember were I got these two but I think they were either c1 or b2

also did anyone else see the suprise crate in the back of the kraken area?

[eternal atlas]

So are the main characters dead or the alt characters?

And we have been talking to mostly alt Schaffer in r8a1 if I am not wrong
Considering he says he is working with the warden

[meager burrow]

I got a crackpot theory

the rundown's name is duality

Calle in #game-announcements used antonyms of words

"different/same" "right/wrong"

what if there's like 2 endings in r8e1

where we decide on helping warden-schaeffer or we somehow get in contact with our schaeffer

cuz up till R8C1 I haven't heard from henrickson

where is he?

[eternal atlas]

Interesting

Two endings might be the case

Maybe the endings are tied to main and secondary

Doing only main
"Bad"
Doing both
"Good"

Still bugs me that the right side of r8 is completely empty

Maybe they will add something after free weekend is done

[little oracle]

Well, you're a little wrong

just keep playing

[fossil mantle]

just watched the ending

its uhhh

huh

[meager burrow]

debunk or approve my theory

plsss

[past matrix]

||its true; there's 2 endings. I don't know abt the other one but it seems to be based off of helping schaeffer or helping the warden. The 2 endings are in R8E2 though||

also

[meager burrow]

||oh shiii I did not expect that I was just rambling lol||

[past matrix]

is there any explanation about why we have a log about miscarraige

[meager burrow]

Is the John here schaeffer?

[cold skiff]

Alternate Universe

[fresh gyro]

nope

[eternal atlas]

Yes I get i was wrong

[fresh gyro]

:3

[worthy cove]

R8A2 secret terminal require a password

[fresh gyro]

its probably a password

:P

[stone vine]

i think it could be a password yeah

maybe you should try a password

[stone vine]

uhhhh

looks kind of like mom

[fresh gyro]

Yes

[stone vine]

spooky

[stone vine]

that’s a face in a striker head with another face

looks like mom again

that’s the only enemy with a visible face inside of a striker head

[quick grove]

Just watched the ending

[stone vine]

is it good

or bad

[quick grove]

Can someone explain to me what the fuck happened

[fresh gyro]

Yes

:3

[stone vine]

is it on youtube

also there’s more than one ending

not sure if there’s only 2 but that’s what we know

[quick grove]

More than one ending

How do you get the second one then

[stone vine]

i think one u follow schaeffer and the other u don’t

[quick grove]

It only goes ro R8E1

[stone vine]

they both end relatively the same

[worthy cove]

R8E2

[stone vine]

no there’s more levels

[quick grove]

Oh

[stone vine]

they’re just hidden

12 iirc?

[quick grove]

So once you complete the orange level it unlocks tbe rest

[stone vine]

yea i think so

[quick grove]

Ah okay

[stone vine]

they’re like the main story missions so

[quick grove]

Fair gotta long day ahead of me tomorrow

[stone vine]

idek if i’m gonna finish this rundown

it’s just dissapointing

[quick grove]

Would love to know who the bloke is in the R8E1 ending tho

[stone vine]

alt

yippeee

i’m still wondering who was fighting the kraken in b2

[quick grove]

They wanted to move on to their new game they are making gtfo isn't making profit anymore

[stone vine]

i’m genuinly thinking it could’ve been a different position of the fight we already did i’m interested

because i’m not sure how time works between alt and regular time line but it could be that wacky

[quick grove]

I've come to learn that after R6 the devs lost interest

[stone vine]

before that

we could see it happening since r3

[quick grove]

Me neither never cared really

[stone vine]

the cherry on top was them advertising their new game in the rundown screen

[quick grove]

Ah true

[stone vine]

it’s honestly a waste of such a good concept

[quick grove]

Oof

Dw ill make a better gtfo🤣

[stone vine]

community project new r8 would be cool

[quick grove]

Ha yeah what about a whole new game lol

[stone vine]

the thing is tho why they just gave up on assets they already have and decided to start from scratch is so risky

that’s a new budget and if that game doesn’t go well i don’t see 10 chambers lasting that long

[quick grove]

Eh idk

[stone vine]

i’ll probably play the new game

there’s lore plastered all over the website

it’s like an interactive website

[quick grove]

If den of wolves fail which i hope for their part it doesn't because the gtfo community will rip them apart literally

[stone vine]

most ppl r already upset tbh unless ur completely new there’s really nothing great about this new rundown

and also the story is going to be over this server is gonna die

no one is going to replay r8 5000 times

[quick grove]

No I've played since rundown 5 alt was a thing about a year ago

[stone vine]

i mean like newbies would like the game

[quick grove]

Yeah only to realize there's nobody playing gtfo anymore

[stone vine]

i think they’ll either cut down the cost of the game or make it free

i think they’re having a 40% sale rn

[pastel ether]

and a free weekend

[quick grove]

After i finish rundown 8 with everything unlocked idk if it's worth going back and playing the previous rundowns i haven't finished

[stone vine]

honestly for a game you’re not likely going to play much after r8 i wouldn’t see a point

[quick grove]

Yup

[stone vine]

i haven’t completed a whole rundown since like r3

[quick grove]

Same ive done R1 R2 R3 R7

That's it

[stone vine]

yeah pretty much

there’s not a lot of replayability

[quick grove]

Nope except getting achievements now which im not really interested in ish

[final sentinel]

Does bro know

[quick grove]

What

[stone vine]

is there something exciting

[final sentinel]

nah

[stone vine]

🥵

[final sentinel]

I’ll let you figure it out

[quick grove]

Ok

[stone vine]

i’ve alr been spoiled

but maybe i haven’t seen it all

[quick grove]

Oh shit

We haven't spoiled anything tho

[stone vine]

they leaked the endings in the achievements so

[stone vine]

i got told in spoiler chat

i asked

[quick grove]

Oh

So both endings are out?

[stone vine]

yes

we know what both are

[quick grove]

Wow

Not what i expected from ending two

Heartless

[stone vine]

where did u find it?

[quick grove]

Hey so schaffer betrayed the characters?

[stone vine]

yes

both times

alt schaeffer good ending where he teleports into the complex and saves us (100% real)

what’s interesting is how the alt woods and hackett came to our universe

unless we go to alt throughout r8

haven’t played so i’m not absolutely certain

[quick grove]

Tf

imma sleeps figure this shit out tomorrow

[stone vine]

oh so they’re going to make it really difficult

schaeffer better be behind that door

[manic shuttle]

c2 pretty crazy

[coarse canyon]

try "NICE"

[worthy cove]

will try

[eternal talon]

Question: if alt//schaeffer betrays us in the end and we didn't hear from OG or henrikkson, what the FUCK happened to their story?

Where did they go?

[crisp citrus]

evaporized

[lean whale]

Is den of wolves connected to gtfo lorewise

[eternal talon]

No

Separate ip

[lean whale]

Aw man

[eternal talon]

Not to say they might include Easter eggs to gtfo

[crisp citrus]

they add the burst cannon

[tame goblet]

how did you work that out

[eternal talon]

modding server EZ

codes from e2 iirc

[solar nova]

It's from E2, but how do you get to E2?

[eternal talon]

oh you just beat all the levels

they are temp hidden

story > gameplay in r8.

[worthy cove]

its from B2 dimensions

[eternal talon]

unlike r6 and r7, story levels lock all other levels until complete

[solar nova]

Okay, that makes more sense.

[solar nova]

For A2

But nobody has gotten past A2 to my knowledge.

[eternal talon]

i am in b2 rn

wdym

some ppl on YT have already done all through e1

[normal abyss]

...

[eternal talon]

wait, wtf?

you DONT have to do the squidward fight if you only do main?

bloody ell...

you know... in some aspects, thats kinda lame

[plush sigil]

Is there any visual confirmation that there are actually a second set of levels besides apparel. I've seen several people do E1 some far and I haven't seen any actual indication that it unlocks anything else.

[eternal talon]

okay, i am back from b2 and c1!

NOTE: I HAVE NOT run C1 OVERLOAD OR SECONDARY

there could and likely is more logs and visual storytelling there

[eternal talon]

wait a fucking second...

is the floor the ceiling?

who in the everloving fuck built that

and how'd they manage to get a tree to grow upside down?

[plush sigil]

Considering there are stairs on the ceiling I think it's supposed to represent the membranes merging or breaking down

[cunning kayak]

Yeah, i caught some Control vibes when i saw this ceiling on r8a1

[eternal talon]

i just... never looked up

i'd be so FUCKED in an alien movie

[crisp citrus]

"uh, guys? i think we should look up..."

famous last words in a horror movie

[cunning kayak]

Well in one of the trailers a prisoner (Hackett i believe) was saying like "i hope you fuckers look up too" or something like that

[coarse canyon]

Are we referring to the noodly enemies as Squidwards?

[eternal talon]

these guys are squidwards. thats literally what they are called in the code

[cunning kayak]

Yeah, this one https://youtu.be/-vSYJckIfi8?si=ZGw59iweWTkzpFTk

[coarse canyon]

I... Well. Squidward had a bad day. Did we come up with a name for the tentacled variants?

[eternal talon]

@burnt wren mentioned one before r8 came out, i don't remember

[coarse canyon]

I'll search

nothing as sudden and out of nowhere like pablo i'm sure.

so sad chad theory might not be real anymore

we can see very familiar corpses in R8D1 meeting room sadge

[brazen edge]

Friend of mine had an interesting theory, the color of the glow stick ||shows which timeline we're in, either the ALT or the original||, so yellow or green one

[waxen widget]

well the R8E1 end screen says a lot 😔

[crisp citrus]

we are so chad every version of our chad selves has to be sent to die in an unwinnable mission

because we cant be beaten otherwise

[waxen widget]

maybe the real chads are the friends we've made along the way

[past matrix]

do we know what the endings are

i mean like

i know of the "good" ending

[waxen widget]

go beat E2 and you'll know

[terse knoll]

So beat E2 for the real ending?

[tame goblet]

@eternal talon What's schaeffers secret message then?

[eternal talon]

I have no idea what is in the terminal

I just know the code

[tame goblet]

what's the code again and where's the location?

[cunning light]

There is a legitimate way to get that information :(

[eternal talon]

M0ETE-ejsp6

Apparently it shows up after 300s on some e1/e2 terminal, I don't recall

You use it for a password locked terminal in a1

[loud urchin]

ah, every vets favourite activity, waiting 5 minutes for a log to appear

[eternal talon]

I asked for a picture of the terminal's contents, but didn't get a reply

[loud urchin]

if that is genuinely what you had to do for the password it's ecxeptionally poor game design

[tame goblet]

What zone is the terminal in on A1?

[loud urchin]

if it's someone lying, then they're a clown

[eternal talon]

OP's game was in a language foreign to me, but they did post screenshot proof so it appears so

[eternal talon]

Idk, I can look for it after work if you don't find it

[tame goblet]

looking on A1, can't find it, could it be in A2?

[loud urchin]

zone 69 a2

[coarse canyon]

Still bummed the password isn't "Nice"

[gilded vine]

Can confirm this is legit

[waxen widget]

can confirm this is legit

[main citrus]

the locked terminal is on A2

[tame goblet]

in 69?

[main citrus]

yes

[gilded vine]

Yeah

[main citrus]

You can ping it if that helps you find it

[gilded vine]

It's some convoluted ass arg

[tame goblet]

and how do you get to it, it's in a wall

[main citrus]

You'll find it soon enough

just keep digging into the wall

[gilded vine]

You need Schaeffer's bucket

[tame goblet]

Hahaha what

[loud urchin]

it's a hidden away hole in the wall

in some water or something

if this is really just for an arg and people have been wasting their time thinking it's linked to gameplay then I will be upset on their behalf

[main citrus]

There is something amidst us

[gilded vine]

There seems to be lore in A2 Secondary somewhere btw :o

[gilded vine]

oh yeah, it's 300 seconds in b2 ||final dimension for both main and secondary||, but I've heard it shows up in e2 as well

/s

[gilded vine]

Go get that log :D

[eternal talon]

I will if the wiki team doesn't beat me to it first

I can only door cheese so fast

[low folio]

is it even related to lore

[gilded vine]

There is a lore log in there

I can confirm

I didn't read it tho lol

[sudden quarry]

its b2 but yea

[plush sorrel]

Alright just finished all of rundown 8 and I got some questions

1. I can't really recall but what did happen to Hendricks?

2. With the voice record we can find in R8B2. does that mean the girl was infected and by what means?

3. With schaffer now taking the warden as a "team" does this mean it successfully killed him from R5 and R4?

4. What is the endings to E2 since I keep reading I might have gotten the "bad" ending then "good"

[short gazelle]

It's implied OG Schaffer killed Hendricks

[coarse canyon]

Is schaeffer that killed Unit 22 Alt Schaeffer or OG schaeffer

[eternal atlas]

OG

[past matrix]

1. you stop the meltdown
2. you let the meltdown happen

iirc for 1, you manage to leave the complex and Durant? finds you outside and you get saved and quarantined

(although its still lowkey grim because hydrostasis was the only thing really keeping us somewhat healthy)

[honest merlin]

Did anyone notice the upside down mirror image room above the second room in R8A1? And that there was a random body on the bridge there?

[terse knoll]

Wait so R8 is in the OG timeline no?

[past matrix]

the first set is in the alt timeline

havent done the second set of missions but considering in r8e1 ||the prisoners die||, im assuming the second set is OG timeline

it sucks we wont know what really happened at the end of e1

hopefully the devs answer shit like ||did schaeffer betray us, or was the loud sleeper noise at the end supposed to be indicative of some bigger monster that killed schaeffer and the group? If schaeffer betrayed us, was the second group even real? Why would Schaeffer even betray us? Was he really working with the Warden, or did he gain control of it using a different team in the alt timeline?||

imo it was completely useless to add lore (outside of maybe logs?) to alt rundowns because like...

nothing came out of it

[terse knoll]

Wait. So ||alt crew gets killed but og crew survives?||

[past matrix]

seems like it?

methinks ||there's a second ending where og crew dies but idk atp||

[terse knoll]

||What after that? Humanity is still wiped out||

Only difference is that the parasite is not active on the surface in og timeline

[limpid flume]

I'm sorry since when are there multiple timelines?

[cunning light]

Since OG Rundown 6

We got a first glimpse of them in R6D4, for instance

[limpid flume]

how dumb am i 🙃 i never realized that

except for bishop's GO, wtf?

[manic shuttle]

Second set of missions have yellow glowsticks if that of any help

wich mean its in an ALT universe or whatever

or maybe its just a limitation of how the rundown system so yeh or forgot to change the glowsticks to green

[past matrix]

its this

e1 and a2 are notably in super different timelines

[manic shuttle]

E2 glostick its yellow

me monkey brain

me hate schaeffer cuz he a bitch

[frail pollen]

We can choose what color glowsticks are used in which expeditions, and we've made sure the colors are correct

[manic shuttle]

You defeating the purpose of the block button just fyi

[broken oriole]

anyone know what's the purpose of r8e1's objective? Why the team goes to the kds deep at the end?

[eternal talon]

"Genesis Operative". They are all Kovac Security Operatives, so just Genesis.

[honest merlin]

Oh right
GO = Genesis Operative
F = Faulty (Woods is classified as such or at least implied to be)
O = either Omega (can't remember if there was such generation in the logs) or just Operative
T = not really sure, possibly Temporary, considering the way Dauda became an operative.

[lilac island]

Genesis, Tau, Faulty and Omega

[past matrix]

thats super weird then

[manic shuttle]

og team dead

all our Early access memories go with them

😭

[past matrix]

clone theory

😦

[past matrix]

Schaeffer tells us to meet him there

[manic shuttle]

you think that the people who did so much shit together they would just

jump the little ramp

and run somewhere

[past matrix]

mayhaps

just sucks then that chad theory wasn't true

and then like
