oh, I forgot each terminal could have a different log
#gtfo-lore
hollow bough
after I beat D1, I might try to do that, find all the logs
unless someone else posts a YT video of it
I think finding all of C2s logs are gonna be the most difficult
for a reason you know if you have done it
done C2
|| since only 4 spawn at a time, I was able to hold them off with my hammer while my team searched the zone, I just had to go into the zone with them so they would spawn outside the zone ||
but doing that for the logs on terminals only, it can be done, just annoying

@livid oracle the new enemy type from B1 is called "Rapid Shooter" That is the systematic name. Many seem to call them hybrids

Hey fellow GTFO players, this morning, as a bug hunter with my bois we found something really odd on R2A1 on cargos. if you like problem solving this is for you, long story short, we found a text entitled "pMother" +
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/635881938896289812/695259135586861109/image.png
and this bar code on a cargo
that bar code is for diamond drill bits (https://www.environmental-expert.com/products/ati-model-sx-style-probe-sati-series-ultrasonic-anemometer-116577) but the number doesnt exist as a bar code and the second bar code is atracking number for FEDEX for an ATI Sonic Anemometer
ATI Sonic Anemometer are probes to calculate wind speed
the .txt shows coordinates in TARSE output
to figure out what to do with these numbers : https://www.esrl.noaa.gov/psd/data/obs/instruments/SonicAnemometer.pdf
an official manual
for ATIs
you can see how information is coded
I hoped to triangulate these values into X Y Z
I'm not a programmer, just curious and I like problem solving
https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/585063132553281556/695252602027245628/Inked20200402143244_1_LI.jpg?width=971&height=546
apparently this tiny text is in some sort of asian language / graphical glitch(thus it could be acsii too)
devs are messing with us meh
the original file uncovered from the fedex link
thanks for helping me, it might lead somewhere or... not
lud said this morning "secrets aha"
no to pMother
I'm in bug hunter discord
with other dudes we are in touch with mods and devs, they seemed mysterious
by our findings
pMother is something, and the cargos are related to that

split plume
i believe infected are infected by a parasite
im not sure how it is related to the yucatan crater tho
solar nova
Given the airborn infection, and transmission by some sort of splatter, might that call into question its existence as a parasite?
Then again, if it's some sort of protist, which fits its profile fairly well, it would technically be a parasite.
I guess the debate is more about animal or something else.
solar nova
||I notice hybrids have the same head as many of the corpses seen in R1. Are those partially formed and/or failed hybrids?||

@lilac island Have you checked the D1 terminals for logs yet?
I might get the chance to check some of them, but others are very hard to access in an ordinary run.
round valley
Alright. I've been avoiding spoilers to the best of my ability, but I think I'm ready. I have seen the hybrids. I have seen the wall sacks. I have seen every enemy from R1. Are there any new enemies I haven't met yet?
Wait, this isn't #gtfo-related-questions ignore me.

Interesting read.
stable urchin
I don't see anything special here?

stable urchin
Oh

Yeah, I think that load up part is random with the stats of infection
idk
graceful ibex
should see what yours is 😛
fair lion
actually now that ||infection|| is a thing shouldn't it have changed
fair lion
not saying it changed, but maybe it should have
graceful ibex
Interesting.

I think they change each time you enter the game too
Went in again to check if they are random every time you open the game
They are

Shame
fair lion
what i'm trying to say
in r1 that part was pretty much the same deal as what you see after expedition completes
stable urchin
True

but now one of those is real, so maybe it should have changed here too

The one after expeditions is true now ye
fair lion
also the others might become real too, rn they're teasers for what's to come

ohh right, yeah i havent gotten there yet
lilac island
Do you think they build an underground Laboratory
As we are searching some cold storage somewhere within a mine
I think it was to risky for them to transport the cargo so they might have wanted to built a lab in the depths
As the logs say they are really afraid of those offical agencys
dense verge
midnight spoke
I wonder if Bishop knew about it all
solar nova
@lilac island Has every other B terminal be checked?
solar nova
Nobody really knows, but seems like it's just a requirement for a certain number of people with completions.

he also seems to have a mask or something similar to ours, unless that is just the screen effect that makes it seem that way
solar nova
Well, we're at 3.1% now, we might get a progress update sometime soon.
onyx radish
so what logs were yall talking about?
hollow bough
in the terminals, there are new commands (LOGS, and READ), LOGS lists the logs available on the terminal, and READ (log name) shows the log
onyx radish
Oh wow didnt even see those
hollow bough
Yeah, if you want to find them on your own in-game, you can
but North put them all together in one big message for ya if you want to just read what it makes so far
lilac island
Do you think there are secret objectives to complete to get those last 2 levels?
solar nova
About logs: ||While there's only been one per tier so far, it might be worth checking more places in D1 and places in D2, since these expeditions are further down and often much harder to get around in.||
Probably not, but it is possible.
I couldn't find any PDECs in any of the levels, so far.
Since I thought that might be the gimmick.
I wonder what this blurring means. It seems like it's just an indication that the area is not mapped, since there's very little in terms of the "wireframe" we see above. I wonder if that will play into the objective, where there's a massive mess of zones and a vague objective to accomplish.
@lilac island Best bet to unlock D2 and E1 right now is to help people beat C1 and C2. It seems like much of the community is finishing the B tier or entering the C tier, but if the objective is to get enough people further down then getting them through those roadblocks is a prerequisite.
It's unclear if they want C tier completions or D1 completions.
D1 completions means you'd need to find good players who could beat the level with some help, while the C tier is much less demanding on individual talent.
hollow bough
Or it could be users having completed each expedition once, so if you get people to skip the A/B tier by having them join your lobby, they won't count till they do those expeditions they skipped
limber merlin
You're telling me that one has entered D2 yet???
fair lion
You can't
lilac island
I guess all we can do now is just wait
round valley
I guess all we can do now is just wait
@lilac island Actually, I believe these two levels were locked behind a certain number of players completing the content to incentivize more experienced players helping others to progress in order to bolster the community.
dense saffron
probably also gives them time to finish the levels while staying on schedule since the roadmap says they're still iterating the level design for them
fervent iris
im just disappointed why not call them ||Hybrids|| smh
stable urchin
Me and my team saw one during an alarm, don't know if it was a clitch or something like that, only happened once
midnight spoke
yeah they do, had 2 spawn from an alarm in B2
fervent iris
exactly
fervent iris
its just they missed so many things in the Spawning section im angery
clever night
I think I saw a few from B1's first stained door
fervent iris
and they called them ||Rapid Shooters|| for crying out loud
clever night
Yeah, they're not too hard to deal with
You can afford getting hit by projectiles if you can hide fast enought
anyway this is lore, not game chat :p
clever night
The lore of efficiently killing enemies
stable urchin
Yes
shut mountain
@fervent iris Feel free to expand on the wiki yourself husband. Also the page can be renamed to Hybrid if that is what the majority of the community refers them as
eternal talon
What hybrid?
stable urchin
What mission are you on frost?
eternal talon
The 4th one
Got there on day 1 of rundown 2,
Then just haven't logged back in
Please tell me more. I dont care much for spoilers
stable urchin
Then you should already have seen them
vestal delta
Theyre called rapid shooters on the page because thats what the devs call them in their code
at least i think so
shut mountain
Ludwig has said that whatever the community would like to name them will be their names if they stick 🤷
I have seen these guys be referred to as Hybrids a handful of times tbh
shut mountain
Yeah I think Hybrid sounds a lot better than rapid shooter
Rolls of the tongue easily in game too
stable urchin
Ye
clever night
I like Hybrids too
fair lion
i called them albino chargers the first time kek
stable urchin
Oooof
vestal delta
the name is cool
i was thinking it was what theyd be called but then ludvig dropped the bombshell that they are boring when it comes to naming things
hoary meteor
Is that the one that spawns behind the dead space door on B2?

too much hp on them to be shooters

White shooters

are they prisoners
shut mountain
The hybrids are weird. they look closer to the shooters when it comes to anatomy and way to attack, but their muscle structure as well as movement however is a lot closed of a Striker
they are really a mixture of both anatomically, looking from the inside
vestal delta
hydro stasis unit
young hare
uh huh
so then
why do they send prisoners as clones
and not like trained military dudes
if they got infinite lives ?
fair lion
the prisoners are more skilled at dealing with this crap than the military, also whatever was going on might have been illegal so they can't rely on it
frigid beacon
my guess is cost
its always cheaper to have as few employees working at a time. Santonian, being a business, and likely dealing with shit they dont want the government knowing about, are trying to keep it as hush hush as possible
stable urchin
@lilac island Same, the clone theory is kinda meh
frigid beacon
tru
stable urchin
Ye, throwing money into it
frigid beacon
if Santionian is the investment company, their incentive for a barebones staff would be higher?
Granted, this is under the MASSIVE stretch that cloning is cheaper than contracting
stable urchin
Don't think the dudes sent in are paid for it
fair lion
only reason it's cheaper is cuz prisoners
fair lion
and goes under the radar
the prisoners might've been used for actually building the place too, not just now that it's gone to shit
frigid beacon
yeah
fair lion
not our chars specifically but still
frigid beacon
im just wondering about Dauda's soliloquy in the trailer
fair lion
well that's a fancy word
frigid beacon
granted, it might just be completely non canon. We don't know enough about Dauda to say yet
fair lion
i think cannons are cool
frigid beacon
boom
also i think if/when we get more prisoners to play as, it might superficially give less credence to the clone theory
again, as far as current goes, i think Dauda is our only lead for the clone theory?
or the soliloquy might be an onset symptom of the disease combined with hydrostasis
Maybe Dauda had already completed an expedition or two when the trailer "takes place"
stable urchin
Pls explain what soliloquy means, has I'm the big dumb
frigid beacon
its a monologue but instead of talking to someone, it's to no one in particular
frigid beacon
mhm
stable urchin
frigid beacon
oh wait lemme ammend the Dauda thing
the "dream" Dauda talks about is an onset symptom
me me like big word
stable urchin
I can see
fair lion
I mean I'd roll with clones cuz it doesn't have the voices problem and such
Unless they're actually surviving every expedition which is not very believable
And yes same voices can be for completely different reasons (both lore and other) but until stated otherwise I'll stay with this
loud pawn
Naturally the Stormpooper would favor a clone theory. 
stable urchin
lol
round valley
Is there any hard evidence to suggest clones though? Like are our deaths actually canonical or is it simply a 'game over'? I think if our death was canon and we were truly clones, we would be finding a lot of damaged weaponry, and perhaps some broken left behind sentries. Possibly even armed mines. Devs don't even think about it pls
stable urchin
takes a few steps boooom
fair lion
Is there any hard evidence to prove or disprove either?
round valley
I dunno. owo That's why I'm asking.
fair lion
Keep laughing. But the devs already added a tool that aims for me, soon I'll have a weapon that aims for me, too. Then you'll suffer and burn
stable urchin
What weapon is it?
fair lion
It's a ||spoiler||
fair lion
As for the broken weapons and whatnot, there's the transcripts with gunshots and such but there's no sign of anything like that once we go down
Ofc it doesn't have to be the places we go or maybe enough time has passed or any other reason
Again too hard to say anything
languid walrus
What does the loud hum in the transmission of D1 likely represent?
How boring.
So the transmissions aren't of the prisoners themselves, but actually of staff workers?
Where do you think the blood on the bloody doors came from? Did someone get crushed in the doors?
stable urchin
That could very well be, other teams before us tho
languid walrus
Is anything known about how a human mutates into one of them?
stable urchin
||Think it makes more sense, since the code thing is because it detects a breach, while connecting the uplink, which doesn't seem likely if it was staff, that did it ||
dim schooner
True.
stable urchin
Maybe it's updog
dim schooner
No, it's definitely not that.
stable urchin
Then it must be ligma
dim schooner
I don't think so, otherwise we would probably either be dead or mutated.
craggy plank
I'm starting to think that the sleepers are formed from some sort of mutated blood worm. They react to light and swarm, the location of the complex is in the ocean, the biomass in R1C2 looked like a mass of worms. Could be that Santonian was down there for whatever was mutating them. Could have mutated a bunch of sea life.
fair lion
Doesn't have to be the same infection as the sleeper one
Also where are we really
The reconstructed log mentioned like 3 places
clever night
That's what I wanted to say too Storm, but gameplay wise, the fog infection and the bubbles infection is the same, so they must be tied, and given the look of bubbles, they're probably tied to Sleepers as well
So I don't think its a possbility
stable urchin
I thought this place was still in the complex
dim schooner
Same.
round valley
Waaaait a minute. We're not even in the facility right now?!
We're using a different hole?
dim schooner
The description of R2A1 implies that R1D1 leads to R2A1.
clever night
If 'one' hole is the starting hole then yes there are a lot of them
stable urchin
||And B1 here||
round valley
What made the hole(s) tho. Is that something made just for the purpose of sending us down into the complex, or are we just utilizing it as such since it's convenient.
clever night
The spawn point
dim schooner
I have a feeling the device that's used to carry us down to the expedition sites was used by staff as well.
stable urchin
Ye, because some missions have you leave from a different hole
clever night
yeah exactly, Bx is a good example
dim schooner
Most of the walls look like they were filled in prior to us descending into them.
clever night
This is why you end B1 after the big door, and B2's ending is so far away in a different hole
Which is great cause it makes it really like these missions are connected
B1's hole leads to B2's, and on and on
round valley
Is the holo-map of the rundown in this one exactly the same as the map from R1?
stable urchin
Hmm, Idk about that one @clever night
I have to go and die in D1 now
Wish me luck

There are definitely 2 complex, Garganta and the other referred to as "mining operation"
They must be separate because one is used as a "scapegoat" of sorts in case authorities come nosing around (as referenced in the emails)
They say that Garganta has walls poured, and a primary shaft
I think its a safe bet that both complex are mining operations
But likely Garganta is the one housing all of the dirty secrets

Woods -American dauda- Nigerian hackett- Irish bishop- English
frail vigil
Oh so quick unrelated question while it's fresh in my mind. What are the ranged sleepers actually shooting out of their faces?
hot burrow
The rocks on their heads
frail vigil
So those are rocks/crystals? I thought they were boils or cysts or something
solemn hinge
im thinking they're boils, cysts, or eggs
because enemies seem to drop eggs or something out of they're bodies when they die
and if you dismember them enough you can see hundreds of them inside their bodies
hot burrow
1st that thing should be dead
solemn hinge
it wasnt 😂
outer bear
that's scary
hot burrow
2nd the eggs are the parasite/fungus in the body
solemn hinge
no
thats not the parasite
This looks like a parasite to me lmao
That ain't a tongue
It has tiny little legs
round valley
Ew
hot burrow
I think the enemies are catfish
I find it interesting that the males sleepers have no fungus on them like the females
I want my charger boys back
solemn hinge
My personal theory is that it's an organism with an utterly alien life cycle
It starts out small and lightweight enough to basically float in the air, possibly piggybacking on water droplets (which would make sense if they float in fog)
But when they make contact with a potential host, they begin to grow rapidly by feeding on their host
Eventually the host becomes a hollowed out shell that contains little more than cysts or eggs or whatever they are
But the growths on the walls and ceilings make it more complicated
hot burrow
I like to think the sleepers are like the zerg from starcraft
solemn hinge
but the growths could possibly be explained by the organism not necessarily devouring their hosts inside, but maybe repurposing them?
Like, maybe they're repurposed into those sacks on the wall that make more of them to infect people
and maybe they also make nests, like they saw in rundown 001
and when i say alien i mean unfamiliar, not actually alien
hot burrow
The charger look like "guards" protecting what ever was in R1C2
They are stronger then the normal sleeper
Have horns
I hope chargers come back
solemn hinge
going off of the theory i posted again
maybe the organism can manipulate living cells? Like, bioengineering on the fly
so when it recognized that a nest needed guards, it made charger by making dense skin on the front
hot burrow
I want to know if sleepers fight each other
solemn hinge
we've never seen it happen
hot burrow
Well strikers have fresh blood on their hands and feet
solemn hinge
alternatively, their skin could just be completely fucked up and bruised from god knows what happening on the inside
their arms are certainly not normal looking
solar nova
I'm leaning towards it being a parasitic protist.
solemn hinge
hey can you please use spoiler tags my guy
solar nova
Its profile would be be out of the animal and fungi categories.
solemn hinge
i havent gotten through b2 yet this rundown, haven't had time

Have you played B1
solar nova
This is spoiler heavy
solar nova
But have you not done B1?
hot burrow
Well good luck with the hybrids
solemn hinge
@solar nova like, a multicellular protist?
solar nova
Probably. If they go the deep sea angle, which they might, it could also be an animal but an invertebrate like a sponge.
It just won't be a worm or anything.
solemn hinge
thats a rather interesting theory
I was personally leaning towards some worm-like organism due to the "nest" in rundown one and the way the sleeper's "tongues" look
hot burrow
I think the tongues are the strikers guts
solar nova
I have good reason to think the flesh in R1C2 is more of a huge colony of cells.
hot burrow
Or a worm that came form the "eggs" in their body's
And when the worm is grown up it leaves
solar nova
Like, if they can colonize on objects they can colonize in a body to change its structure.
||I have a hard time saying the flesh in R1C2 and the sacks in R2 are worms.||
lilac island
Maybe a tongue?
It kinda reminds me of one specific creature's "tongue" that lives in the sea
round valley
Maybe each feeler is a teensie weensie version of the sleepers appendage it uses to attack?

Do you guys think the Spitters on the walls and ceilings are mutated from corpses of the victims in the complex?

@lilac island You are talking about the Isopod Parasite that bites the tongues off mouths and replaces them right?
frigid beacon
They're 100% gonna be there next rundown I think
Granted I don't think there are chargers yet
stable urchin
They were in rundown 1, so hope we get to see them again in this rundown
frigid beacon
Yeah.
I'm honestly nauseous thinking about what fresh hell we will see in D2 and E1
frigid beacon
E1 is just a raid boss
You just have to damage a big spitter sack golem and carry cells to generators to activate floodlights to delay the wipe mechanic
stable urchin
lol

lmao
i could see the cells to power floodlights though, yeah
just.... i highly doubt wed ever see a big boss monster

can't wait to have hallucination mechanics in rundown 3 🤣

@lilac island did you see my suggestion in #gtfo-game-suggestions where the game splits you up at the very beginning into teams of 2 and you have to meet up at the end?
frigid beacon
speedrun to rundown Z1
lilac island
That would be interesting for sure Jack
mossy wharf
@cloud knot is that ra real thing i hope not
lilac island
indeed ^
cloud knot
no but I want it to be
lilac island
I like how in this rundown ||the extraction points are sometimes in different places||
mossy wharf
oh ok good XD
cloud knot
And maybe an alarm for one team sends waves to the other team 😆
lilac island
well i would like it even more, when everyone has to go solo and meet up at the end
lilac island
hahahaha
cloud knot
this game tests friendships
frigid beacon
and this, dear viewer, is why we don't have matchmaking
lilac island
hahaha
mossy wharf
yes lol
frigid beacon
but if split team missions were a thing, i think there should be either a radio mechanic or maybe a player-inaccessible passageway of some kind to send stuff back and forth
lilac island
Text chat?
cloud knot
radio mechanic?
frigid beacon
oh right

Isn't discord enough?

make use of that "mental status" bar

man the one thing i wonna see is, this game being so realistic, thats its harder than it is now
cuz i love hard games

I feel like theyre gonna do that
simple fossil
I thought another, even better part of the it 
stable urchin
Senpai loves it hard, lewd

which take some heking concentration
frigid beacon
like, if they just added infection i have a feeling theyre gonna go down the list
stable urchin
Tho, I like it hard too
lilac island
ey yo holdup right there UnZipped
simple fossil
have a section where one pair has to deliver cells or stuff to a zone, while the other team provides cover fire from above
now that would be hectic
stable urchin
Ye
lilac island
I like it rough, hard and fast

Split the team in 5
lilac island
stable urchin
Actually, split it in 12

this game is just an escape room with extra steps

you know what would be really fucked

i want this game to be harder...

people are obsessed with soloing missions
simple fossil
oh no
cloud knot
what if one of the last missions of the rundown is a lone wolf mission
frigid beacon
Senpai no! I'm already bad at the video game!

I don't get soloing
lilac island
well soloing is just because
cloud knot
E2 of rundown 3 or something
lilac island
poeple want it hard! xd
simple fossil
not as sold on that one,
lilac island
what if they made it impossible to solo? xd
simple fossil
but what about one where players are forced to separate at the extraction and only one player will actually be able to extract at the end 
wait
that's just reverse Sacrifice from Left4Dead
cloud knot
how shook would you be if you went through all the missions with your friends though and then you unlock the E tier mission and it's just called "Alone"
simple fossil
insert Lone Wolf meme from Halo Reach
lilac island
or "Solo"
cloud knot
for a rundown focused on sanity that would shake me pretty bad
@simple fossil the mission objective is just "Survive" lol

what if
After you complete a mission you can control different settings?
Like enemy health, loot abundance, and so on?

You can do that with hacks

i feel like difficulty would defeat the the main goal of the game which is team work.
wouldnt need team work if it was easy

has anyone brought up those squealy things?
the things i personally dub "pus eggs"
stone vine
shooters?
or some new monster
if its new what level
Also I found this too
It’s seems the cntrl technology company runs the piping system
Also found this
Seems like a battery
You can see similar ones in the santonian cases on shelves
drowsy furnace
I’m talking about these guys
They’re found in r2b2, r2b4, and probably deeper I haven’t checked

Spitters Huh...?
They look more like pus eggs
Also... I don’t think that those whatever they spit is... spores tbh

@ionic sandal the thought about what the sleepers are -
LIST ID
QUERY <id number>
dusk tinsel
Hi dudes. I don't know if i'm in the correct chat for my question but it seems it's the most appropriate. I'm like grinding the game to find some informations that does not appear in the wiki or here and I'm recently concerning about one thing :
Next to all melee weapons there is this infinite symbol that would normally be number if it was next to non-melee weapon. That infinite symbol grows red the more you striker or use the melee weapon and it seems to reach a point where it cannot get any darker-red.
So the question is : What does that mean ? I tryed different setup to see if there is a link between the time it needs for the melee weapon to load a strike and release it ; the time it need to switch from a strike and a push-out ; or the range of the sound made by the melee weapon strinking the ground.
From my results, there are no links and no interraction with it. Do you have any clue about it ?
stone vine
o-o
solar nova
@dusk tinsel some testing confirmed it affects charge time. 2.5 or 2.8 seconds. Not typically noticable.
slim obsidian
@ionic sandal I tried to comment on your reddit post, but reddit is forever loading, so here
ionic sandal
what is that @slim obsidian ?
half basin
its "QUERY ID_..."
slim obsidian
To me, it confirms what you think they are
What I find interesting though is the "status" lol
dry hinge
does someone know what the infection level etc. at the end of a mission means?are they related to the lore?
oh well thanks
hollow bough
It is based on the infection meter introduced during this rundown
dry hinge
yeah I already saw that one what happens when it reaches 100%?
dry hinge
oh okay
lilac island
Weirdly enough we know that the infection seems to have something to do with sleepers but it isn’t related to transforming into a sleeper
Unless the whole infection thing is just a mechanical thing in the game and they’ll have a log specifying that the infection does lead to transformation
But I want to know something I swear in B4 I remember the max infection lead to 90% infection and a max of 12% HP
But in D1 I’ve noticed it goes down to 85% infection and 15% health
lilac island
Nah m8 I remember it being 90 and I haven’t even watched him play anything with R2
Unless the recent update did a hotfix for it
Ya could theorise that the prisoners could be gaining a resistance to the infection then
fervent iris
yeah, no
they nerfed infection so you can survive at least 1 striker melee at full infection
i.e im on b4 with 85% max infection
lilac island
Yea thought they might’ve fixed it mark that theory in the trash pile then
ionic sandal
i still dont understand @slim obsidian would you mind explaining
OMG THIS JUST GAVE ME AN IDEA
solar nova
He's saying they were once people.
solar nova
R2 zones so far:
102-106 (A1),
112-119 (C2),
201-207 (C1),
265-271 (B2),
605-615 (D1),
716-721 (B1),
760-765 (B4)
What are B3's zones?
Also, we have seen at minimum 2 "rundown holes" in the complex. At maximum, we've seen 6.
Holes in the complex lead to zones 16, 38, 49, 62, 68, 91, 100, 102, 112, 201, 265, 271, 605, 716, 721, 760, and 765.
slim obsidian
@ionic sandal your theory that the sleepers were human, trapped, inhaled the fumes and became... Sleepers.
It's justified. Based on the scan from the terminal, they have names. They were personnel.
Now, as for the big bois and the scouts and stuff.... That's for more conversation
But possibly it interacted with them differently?
lilac island
That or the infection grows stronger the more the hosts stays functioning
slim obsidian
That's possible too
lilac island
Like we don’t know how long this “demon tick” has infected the whole complex
But until we can find a shred of evidence for this it’s just gonna remain a theory
slim obsidian
That is true, and we can also consider that like many virus / flu / whatever, there are indeed mutations
It's definitely a fun thing to look into, but yes without evidence..... :/
However, the idea that the sleepers were workers.... (I'm thinking research scientist)... Definitely
Also, just saying. ssh is open on the website.
Not that I could figure it out. I don't think it's meant to be.
Not the main site, the other one with Bishop as the author
Ssh ftp imap etc are all there.
Might just be a bad server config, in which case devs, cover that up lol
To me that's an invitation
The SI site that is
lilac island
Well there is another fun thing to point out as far as well can tell only male hosts have a “demon tick” within them while as female hosts seem to have none
slim obsidian
I just can't wait for more info
And I hope the devs do some more sneaky things with the SI site
I scanned their bundle.js
Couldn't find anything important
lilac island
I don’t think the lore on the monsters isn’t their main objective as of early access
slim obsidian
(sorry, I'm a web dev, that stuff interests me)
I dunno. I think letting those with early access first chance at discovering neat things is a good incentive
That may just be me.
lilac island
I find shit like the interesting only for the fact that I can update my monster knowledge among video games
Somehow I have the shittest memory when it comes to RL stuff but anything to do with in game enemies is can nail em down to a T
slim obsidian
I dunno. To me it fits with the whole terminal access thing of running commands.
Let me get access to the ssh and find things, a fun little side game!
lilac island
I just want to know how to kill these things in the most safest and brutal way possible
I like smashing their heads in its Cathartic in a sense
Wonder if they’ll ever make it possible to shoot out the parasites imagine that
slim obsidian
Interesting
lilac island
Who knows maybe they’ll want some guy to write out the lore of the monsters and jot down how the inner workings of their host thrive
Heh would be cool if they did that
ionic sandal
What if the Players are resistant to the infection, so they were captured and sent down there, since bishop is apart of Santonian?
ionic sandal
but we dont know if its different to the other people
we can get infected, but gardually
stone vine
well thats how they work
you need to develope the symptoms slowly
each infection % is -1 off your total health
first symptom
and once youre weak
your immune system is inncapable to fight off an infection
ionic sandal
main thing im thinking is its similar to resident evil, where consintrated doses can still infect you
stone vine
well you can get infected a number of ways
what i know so far is by the spitters
or the fog
which means is spreadable in many ways
yeah
north, you know anything about the code
for d2 and e1
tough badger
ok so now that we are on that subject, are d2 and e1 ARGs?
ok
so then is there potential that it is based around more people clearing d1?
or is it something you have to find in d1 that might be hidden away?
stone vine
damn
solar nova
Probably, but might also be C1 and C2 rather than D1
Pretty sure it's random, actually
stone vine
yeah
solar nova
like, it changes when you load up the game
stone vine
i realize that now
i was just trying to see if it was a hex code with a message or something
tough badger
it would be cool if it was something hidden in one of the other levels but North is more than likely spot on with it being people need to clear d1
solar nova
Inb4 useless generator in D1 is the unlock mechanism.
stone vine
oh yeah
everyone was trying to decide what type of generator it was
in like january
tough badger
i still enjoy the title of D1 being called statistics
cause your team is about to become a statistic
solar nova
@stone vine It was in testing for that long?
tough badger
i feel like the devs also enjoy seeing people clear d1
all for d2 to be 100x more paintstaking
solar nova
Or are you talking about R1D1?
solar nova
I feel like we're done with the fog gimmick, though.
tough badger
god... i pray that prediction isn't correct
i don't think so
E1 is completely covered in fog
solar nova
The whole point of D1 is to turn on the filtration system.
tough badger
that is a valid point but i think that is meant to filtrate only the upper levels
e1 might be solely in fog
based on the screen and what we can see alone
does that kinda make sense?
fair question, not sure how to answer it but i am just guessing don't forget
I'm guessing because the screen where we can see the missions seems that e1 is completely covered in fog
the filtration system might only reach to the level it is on and e1 might be something that opens up as a result of all this
and nothing below it
that is entirely possible
yeah
tough badger
when did we get that picture?
was it given to us by the devs or was someone doing a datamine of the game or something?
lilac island
Betcha ten mauls we get a third and final new enemy in there
tough badger
ahhh
there a picture of the map or nah?
the bottom floor is a facility?
the map feels kinda small
solar nova
I feel like this isn't D2 or E1 or is only a small part of D2 or E1
tough badger
ehhh
if it is a map this small for e1, there has gotta be some kinda crazy rules for the map
like a mix of C2 and C1 mechanics
solar nova
It's also a lot bigger than the overhead reveals, since we're really far away
tough badger
i hope it is just a small portion
solar nova
Looks like 12ish zones
D1 is 11 zones
So this is either D2, a part of E1, or E1 is slightly smaller than expected
solar nova
Although actually, this looks like it's big areas and not 12 zones, strictly
Also, what is a pMOTHER sample?
That we get in R2A1?
hollow bough
parasite mother?
dense saffron
I'd imagine this was version one of A1
crude mural
I think digsite is environment used to make runs
Not especially one run
And D1 looks like a digsite to me
@lilac island i was there
but lights were tweaked, fog was higher and there were some enemies
When you do D1 SPOILERS AHEAD || 2nd security scan at D1 and open the doors -> screenshot shows that room ||
hollow bough
no, that room has different lighting than the picture shown, lizakoo
crude mural
it is but that was leak screenshot when they were developing rundown
so some things could change
hollow bough
true, so it could be that room or somewhere else
crude mural
I would try to make same screenshot from D1 room and ill show you i am right 😄
hollow bough
I know they look similar, but there is no ladder in that spot on D1's room
crude mural
it is
hollow bough
if you see by the white light, there is a ladder, that isn't present in the ||609 zone||
I agree there is some similarities, but there are a good amount of differences too
crude mural
that's literally the same room with added items like a barrels, new sources of light etc. I can't do screenshot rn but will try D1 today with my team so ill post it
hollow bough
there are major differences in the rock formations and such though, so maybe it was an early version of that room, but it isn't the same
it could be some other type of room
viscid blaze
New here, having a blast. Anywhere I can catch up on what lore we do have?
hollow bough
check the pinned messages 🙂
be aware there are a lot of spoilers tho
so recommend you read through that stuff after you beat the rundown
read at your own risk
hollow bough
yeah, I would recommend that
solar nova
@crude mural @hollow bough It's impossible to tell if it's the same room since rooms get reused. 609A is literally 106B.
hollow bough
exactly, but my point is that screenshot is much different than 609A
only similar in a couple rock formations
crude mural
they are definitely reused. I found room from R1A1 somewhere at B. This screenshot shows the "new digsite environment"
anyway i can't argue with you RN cos i can't run the game and go there
ill ping you later
hollow bough
yeah, B1's start in R2 is the same as R1's A1 start room
solar nova
100A is seeing a lot of use these days
hollow bough
yeah, appears in a couple extract areas
fair lion
y'all think there's some lore reason behind scout invulnerability or is it pure game balance?
hollow bough
I think it is game balance, but a lore reason could be made, or uncovered/added later on
some people talked about the scout triggering a high cell regrowth period, so it can heal from massive damage quickly
vestal delta
maybe its skin gets hard and thats why its not moving while it screms
well not moving normaly
hollow bough
the scout turns its whole body into an erection lmfao
that type of affect could be how the tendrils stay so straight too lol
crude mural
he is just a fan of eiffel 65 and their song is immortal like scout itself while glowing blue

Had this question with my friends today, and I don't know if it's been touched on, but what kind of prisoners are we? Are they like actual criminals who were sent there as a sentence, or are they different people taken against their will?
stable urchin
Most likely not real criminals, think it's more of a term used for us
white bronze
Yeah, just wondering what kind of prisoners we were
lilac island
Until we got like an actual confirmation as to why they're called prisoners and what they've done we have very little info on them
The most I've heard about characters is that Bishop "The bristish one" Is A employee for santonian or whatever the company is called
real pewter
are there no B2 B3 logs?
