@solar estuary the other guy was a bit over exaggerating. Its more between 30-45 min
#gtfo-speed-running
solar estuary
yeah, do you guys use the terminal at the start to find essential obj items and restart if they are in non desirable places?
wide kite
Its more if the scout spawns in the first room or the big room close.
and than some item spawns need to happen
solar estuary
mhm, and in 609 what if there are two scouts in the same area?
wide kite
you just need the initial rooms to clear, then generator.
solar estuary
609 is the only zone you have access to after 606
wide kite
I might be forgetting then. is 609 the generator?
solar estuary
no, 606 is
wide kite
you only need the one cell at the beginning of the level
solar estuary
yeah, 605 is the starting zone, where the cell spawns, the first one
wide kite
So you clear 605,606. while one puts in cells other 3 loot and set up. then waves starts get done with generator. path along right side to extraction. Also defensive measures are already set up while clearing rooms by cfoaming doors(main door and right side door)
nvm once we get the video you will see lol
wide kite
kinda hard to type it all out
wide kite
606 alarm door if done correctly you only get 1 wave.
solar estuary
by kiting the enemies, or using c foam?
wide kite
We run 3 shotgun turrets and a cfoam
so 2 turrets
or if you want to be careful with ammo 1 turret
and hard focuse on scans
solar estuary
so the c foam holds them back long enough for you to finish almost all the scans?
solar estuary
then how does only one wave spawn?
wide kite
hard commit to scans
solar estuary
even if you hard commit to scans, a second wave spawns
there are three sets of scans
wide kite
ah,
we are thinking about two different doors
we NEVER open a door leading out of 606
solar estuary
you have to though
solar estuary
yeah, I am too
606 alarm door is a three scan alarm
and 606 is the generator zone
wide kite
yup
wide kite
you only need 1 cell
wide kite
one cell can be duped 5 times
wide kite
yup
solar estuary
that's where the confusion is
solar estuary
I see, didn't know about that exploit
wide kite
we are also trying to consistently get it to work.
sometimes it breaks the game other times its easy
quartz girder
@solar estuary
in area 609 there can be 3 scouts
and if you are unlucky the three are in the fog
solar estuary
There can? I have only seen two each time.
quartz girder
I already had three
solar estuary
Do you have it recorded or something? Or do I just gotta take your word for it?
quartz girder
but now that we've figured out how to kill them it's relatively simple
solar estuary
Yeah, the main issue of a scout is it guarding sleepers in a small room
Or accidentally messing up the scout kill

does anyone know the strategy for D1 without the duplication exploit? is it to take the rooms loud and then scavenge with 100% infection?

and do you bother with getting the ||decontamination room? or just go for cell rooms||
upbeat tusk
if the room full with sleeper then tell him to wake them up and lure them to us
we do that zone last

How do you find numbers of people that completed D1, and how many people the devs WANT to complete D1?

If there is any public stats on rundown 2 it would be there.

i mean if you guys are talking about that we have to unlock d2/e1 by completing d1 it would be good to know how much is left for that to happen
outer pebble
You could manually search the twitter account to see if they just haven't put in the chat but it is abit unlikely
Not much can be done on that besides waiting for the percentage to update sadly.
fickle scroll
well there is 1 possibility
befriend a dev and as soon as you gained enough trust ask for leaks
XD
fickle scroll
@outer pebble if you look at the rundown it says unable to decrypt qp_%: 3.1
does that mean anything?
hexed matrix
Either its referring to percent of the maps complete, or a certain percentage of players need to finish rundown to D1 to unlock. Would be my guess.
south charm
Kreassen its like asking if the tiny bit of text that you can see in the loading screen has any more meaning than just being a little bit of flair

I’m just wondering. Maybe We need to do a side mission in C2 in order to unlock D2. Maybe the purpose of C2 is to get rid of the “???” and rename the mission through Terminal or something

Hey guys. I have a question that would be awesome to get answered from the speedrunning community.
A group of friends and I bought GTFO recently and wanted to set up a streamed charity race. 8 of us, totally blind without much experience in the game.
Does anyone have time to answer some questions one on one on how viable a casted race between two teams would go?
Just some general things on recommended levels, what kind of format we should be running, etc

in Kenny stream his team rush through ( stuck a little because of sleeper ) and got to the 1st cargo about sub 3 minutes

If you don't terminal anything, I bet you could get the first scan done in about 1 1/2 minutes

just run
but sadly no cargo
they rush to 105 ( i believe ) and finish the scan in 3 minutes

ooh ok
I'll remember that
it definitely seems like the best tactic
and you pray that you get a good spawn for the cargo
not cargo

cause there are like 4 places it can spawn, if I remember
upbeat tusk
key could be in the right side or 104
but the fastest key is in the first room
right at the middle door
if the locker is locked then it's possible to have key

do you know if they terminaled stuff?
@wild crypt Oh yes, definitely. They wouldn't head anywhere they didn't need to go to.

Ooh, good to know
This is why I love you Kolohe, this is all crucial info
Cause I know on some games, the run is so optimized you just pray that RNG isn't spiteful that day, and if it is, you reset
gilded forge
I do think it's probably a reset if you query your first cargo in 104 because of the additional run

Wdym additional run?

104 is further away from extract than 105 is

Idk the official rules for when to start and stop but it would make sense to me to finish timers when missions become “unfailable”. Not sure if that happens at 100% or when screen turns black

you can fail at 100% so its when screen turns black

start time = the moment your feet touch ground

twin valley
fair enough
pretty sure the word "surge ____" banned me
for like 2 min or something
royal bloom
why does plant have a NDA? does he work for 10 chambers?
next trout
He's a bug hunter, they are under NDA
thick mesa
There's gotta be something behind that. Massive exploitation or literal invincibility xD
I don't think I'd believe it from someone's mouth if they stood physically in front of me. To think that things like E1 can be solo'd without doing massive, MASSIVE exploits? Trying to get through (Huge Spoilers) ||the fog, the hybrids, the shadows, the class error alarm, the multiple scout rooms, the basement levels, with bloody doors, all while moving fog machines and the neonate and the cells?|| He can't have mines, turret, AND biotracker- he has to choose. Each one leaves them open massively. I'm going to swiftly call baloney, and never change that opinion until there's video proof of someone not under NDA.
If one guy could do it, alone, without exploiting, why can't thousands of other players in 2, 3, 4 man groups? There are things easier solo, like "full squad" scans, and kiting is easier when it's just you, but with the way some things work in D2/E1..
Nah.
somber lion
yeah lol git good
I mean, I’ve played with plant in a full stack, and we didn’t beat it the three times we tried
next trout
Plant's run was 3 hours and 40 minutes, bio tracker, burst rifle, and machine gun. He uses some creativity if you understand the map and how the game and enemies work to his advantage, but no cheats/invincibility/exploits.
alpine musk
Pure numbers and understanding can make the hardest things easy, just takes time and dedication
And the fact you wasted so much time to just say ‘impossible!’ Just shows you’re salty because you can’t beat it or refuse to acknowledge someone can be that good lmfao
outer pebble
It is what it is really. While you can believe that no one has solo'd E1, you should acknowledge that the level just like any other is solo able.
He has solo'd many levels in the past on and off bug hunter builds and if im not mistaken Plant only solos levels for the satisfaction of completing it. Otherwise he wouldn't play them on builds covered by his NDA.
thick mesa
It certainly is possible to beat, but I personally won't see it as reality until someone else does it- someone not under NDA. Just how I am.
I'm hoping R3 is a bit more fun in the later levels. This rundown was quite fun up till- I want to say C2 did me in. I play with a group of friends, not a group of people who walk through the game like it's a stroll in the park. I don't have any 'dedicated and experienced' people to play with, partially because the three I attempted to get to know were extremely quiet and just wanted the "W" not the experience of playing together.
Really hard to enjoy playing this game when the levels are so long and difficult, it makes your only group nearly quit.
hexed matrix
@thick mesa None of my friends play it anymore. Main factor being too long... I get it. I bought 5 copies and gave them out. None of them play it with me lmao. Guess it's too hard for them. 😭
frail mountain
Oh this went on? All those things aren't even a problem for solo players. I can understand both sides, like why someone would think it's impossible because I did too at first, and why doubting it seems wrong for anyone that has seen Plant play. I have ideas on how to solo E1 including that last part but don't have the skill required to pull them off. Whereas Plant plays more, has better ideas, much better understanding & control of the AI /game mechanics and is a lot better than me. So being able to pull off something "impossible" doesn't surprise me. There's just a big difference between players at different levels.
I'd like to see the video, to get a better understanding of how it was done, but even if I knew how it was done, I don't think I'd be able to do it anyway.
south charm
i mean
in his run it was just alot of kiting and muscle memory
and dropping the hsu as needed
and also as said we cant show the vid its under NDA
frail mountain
^ That's it. I think he probably just something as simple as closed doors behind him and used that time to carry stuff. Or some other ideas combined with that, but nothing exploit/cheese.
frail mountain
For foggy areas if I had to guess, its some combination of mini fog repellers + ?carrying disinfectant? + map knowledge, but at Plant's skill level he could probably do the whole thing in fog at 85% infection, or low health, as well.
frail mountain
Oh yeah, spoilers (making some edits). Well there's no reason he couldn't stealth that area if he could get through it quickly enough though.
frail mountain
The alarm could be tricky, but then if you can already solo the first few areas then you can probably do the same thing there.
south charm
||honestly a mine, a sentry and c-foam on the main door for z592 surge and you got a quick and ez win.||
frail mountain
That's not solo though XD

Tiers A-C were fun after the learning curve
D isn't awful but again it's just such a commitment for such a mentally strenuous game
This game requires a lot of focus and losing an hour and a half into a stage leaves me with very little energy for a second attempt that day
The most I've got in me is two really good attempts before I feel drained tbh
but again it may just be that I haven't passed the learning curve yet
stark jackal
yeah E1 is defiently soloable in my opinion if u have the time and know the layout of the map to the point you dont even need to open ur map
median quarry
@thick mesa You dont really have time to be quiet on C2 at least when I beat it prepatch, but you also dont have time to get to know each other. C1 is a lot different. I could help you, but I’m not a quiet person. C1 prepatch was hell, we still had fun we beat and laughed. Never was quiet. Haven’t tried it post.

I've beaten up to D2, Ghost.
E1 is just- I need a break. Our team isn't the best; we're friends, not tryhards. It's really hard to play this game for fun, instead of as a completionist.

you want to try to beat our record on b1?
I hope we can have the record on b2 🙂

The real question is who's going to challenge the E1 speedrun 😄
Someone can get a better time than 47mins. Lowest estimate time for an E1 completion is approx. ~32mins
median quarry
@fresh heart You really want the bragging rights, don't you? 🤣
median quarry
Interesting. There's a Korean team that done the speedrun in a hour. I'm wondering if they're going to be up to the task or some crazy other person.
Although your record is pretty good.

Thanks, and I believe in anyone who try x)

They're unique players
alpine musk
To bad you don’t play with me ffs
heavy summit
How many times did you even attempt that speedrun
Because looking at how good the scans were in that video and in general low spawns, it had to have been many tries
fresh heart
It took around 20 tries. The first 5 minutes matter a lot.
If you dont get fog repellers by the time the door was started, it was a restart
and if the 2 scouts got alerted in the next zone, its a restart.
Zone 596: 3 Minutes
Zone 597 + 598/599: ~7 Minutes (With good RNG)
Zone 600: ~4 Minuutes
Zone 601: ~3 Minutes
Zone 602 + Resupply: 3 Minutes
Note: This is for the first half of E1. Time will vary a lot.
The most important part is having enough ammo for 598/599 to go loud in rooms to save time. 596 must be cleared in 3 minutes and try to avoid alerting scouts in 600 like we did

C2 is so filled of rng about objectives placement, and kenny's run seems really lucky on them
gilded forge
Yes, certainly filled with RNG, but with the right run is doable 🙂
formal trench
isn't the point of speed run is to have perfect aligned events so you can finish the game in the fastest speed
so RNG is essential for all speed run, other wise they don't have to try it for 30 times
alpine musk
Love the fools asking for Plant’s video then getting salty about placements for things... should make it a rule that if you don’t like it and can’t keep your damn opinion in your skull where it belongs then you don’t get to talk for a while
And everything lining up for a speed run is good but rare... 30 is a cute number of try’s lol

Darkness, everyone is entitled to their own opinions and to voice them as long as they do it civily about the subject. Please do not disencourage others from talking who just want to voice their opinion over speedrunning or the like if they do it in a calm manner.

@grizzled python I've watched a lot of your solo runs. To be honest, it's what helped me do a lot of them. Especially the last rundown. Better luck next time. Rip.
median quarry
@grizzled python How would you do the ending if you for to it?
upbeat tusk
move item a little
kite back to spawn/586/601
go back to do the scan/moving item
tag enemies - kite - do obj
enemies already cap so you could just start the scan anyway
grizzled python
You can do a lot of stuff every time you kite back, especially if you cfoam a door behind you
I carried a cell all the way to the gen from the door and did 2 scans before they got there when I used cfoam
upbeat tusk
E1 basically kiting fes
grizzled python
Kind of makes it a boring map to solo tbh
Just 90 minutes of kiting in the end
And a roll of the dice for if you get sleepers spawned on top of you and die
grizzled python
I think the safest option is to not kill any at all when kiting, I shot 2 or 3 and they instakilled me when they spawned on top of me (clip @ media and fan art)
I also had great success running the shotgun to quickly kill any giants in the alarm zones
It's also pretty ok for clearing out 586
upbeat tusk
yes
grizzled python
Somehow I wish there was a checkpoint or something at the door
upbeat tusk
E1 last segment look like C2 pre-nerf
and i've been testing C2 wave spawn mechanic
and the result still a little "blurry" but i could say the spawn wave use a "Prioritise" mechanic
but this only help in team strat
and not for solo player
you finished 2 scan of the final surge scan Spartan?
grizzled python
Nah nah, of the first one
grizzled python
But I did get to the final zone on another run
Got bumrushed from the ladder though
upbeat tusk
you used the loot zone to kite?
grizzled python
Yeah
I have strats to kite the last zone too though
I think that's the hardest part though
upbeat tusk
we're only used zone 598/599 or the 601 to kite
grizzled python
You need to get in, run through the whole zone, break doors and run around in a circle like the Plant speedrun until the ones from behind catch up
Otherwise they will kill you on the ladder
grizzled python
After that you can do all scans and extract in one kite
upbeat tusk
you have 2 floor to kite them
grizzled python
Nah, supply room gives you much more time
grizzled python
It's more that everything else is useless
grizzled python
Only hard part is the end and nothing helps there
You have a lot of cfoam at the end too
grizzled python
Yep, you only have 5 doors you can cfoam usefully anyway
upbeat tusk
you didn't c foam the one in loot zone?
grizzled python
Nothing special I guess
You can kill everything in the blood door but sneaking might be faster
wet relic
^ If you believe you find a "mechanic" please send a bug report about it so the developers are aware.
grizzled python
Like doesn't alert the first room behind it you mean?
next ruin
well if u dont shoot into the bloody room, the sleepers inside will still be asleep
upbeat tusk
nope
they will 100% alert because 1 of the bloody door spawn always scream
but there is a game mechanic that stop them from screaming and go straight to you
lean tusk
It’s fairly simply but for the purpose of not spreading this “game mechanic” for people to abuse its better not to say it
But it works 100% of the time

Hey I found something that helps with kiting back, if you're walking backwards and you tap sprint you get short bursts of speed every couple seconds. Come in handy for putting space between you and someone who got too close, it also works while ads.
Also if you can aim pistol is a godly gun, quick reload, 1 shots basic unit types with a headshot, just wish taking pistol made you a little faster.

oh wow thats neat

are mobs just spawning on top of people in d1 for other groups too?
like, giants pop next to you
upbeat tusk
that's how the spawn work
if there is no spawn area for them
they gonna spawn on an area near players
you can block their spawn to spawn other places as well
hollow widget
its happening far into the map, with plenty of room for them to spawn in other placews
hmm
hollow widget
on top of people just looks weird and bug like
upbeat tusk
that's might be
because
it prioritise on someone
but that person somehow got to an area that block the spawn near him
and spawn somewhere else
and that place somehow is on top of the other player
i learnt that mechanic in R2C2
and tried to use it on R2E1
autumn junco
has something happened in the new rundown regarding kiting? I seem to be getting hit while running away constantly now
gritty crater
runners are now faster and crawlers now seem to match runners' new speed
i don't like these changes tbh
especially the crawlers
autumn junco
yeah i feel like it kind of destroys the melee playstyle
gritty crater
you can still run around, you just can't gain distance from them anymore
which would be fine if it wasn't implemented so awkwardly and it also destroys the difference between crawlers and runners
autumn junco
I haven't gotten to crawlers yet
gritty crater
it doesn't seem that they melee more nor faster to me
median quarry
@faint jungle Has there been a nerf to the Kiting mechanics/any changes?
For me, I can definitely feel the difference.
gritty crater
as i said they move faster
faint jungle
Not intentionally as far as I'm informed!
but we are looking into it 🙂
gritty crater
oh it's not intentional?
median quarry
Strange, it feels different. The timings are faster and everything.
gritty crater
the ai is the same as far as i can tell
median quarry
Yes, I like it and dislike it. I loved the old Kiting but the Kiting you could do in R2 was ridiculous in some ways. The new enemey counters that a bit at least.
gritty crater

waxen aurora
are you guys doing solo speedruns?
tough idol
hey dudes another QOL tip for some speedruns mostly involving sleepers placed on tops of ladders (has only happened to me in a way that killed the run twice), if you charge melee before you get on a ladder you can swing while on it, keep in mind it will only work for shorter ladders as there is the auto release for melee. helpful for bad spawns (on top of ladders so close you touch them when you get up them.
happy getting the fuck out my dudes
autumn junco
so out of interest, is it true that the sleepers increased movement speed/hit range is confirmed to be a bug? I noticed lordvig talking about it above
gritty crater
doc and ludvig both said it's unintentional and they're looking into it
didn't get them to say specifically that they're gonna revert it though
gritty crater
i imagine they will though cuz this shit's really annoying even when you're not kiting
azure acorn
honestly they may not. Not sure if I find it annoying or challenges me to play better lol
teal fulcrum
kiting around actually have some risk now
gritty crater
whereas before you got invulnerability by pressing shift.
teal fulcrum
i like the way it is no, but i do believe it need some refinements
gritty crater
i can see how the idea of making kiting dangerous like this is liked, but the way it is now is unacceptable
crawlers can become as hard to melee as friggin walhugging shooters
with sonic speed dodging and moving so far to the side
the animation mismatch too
it screws with everything not just kiting
vernal glen
the teleporting enemies during their animations, mainly giant strikers and the C1 ||chargers|| seem to have gotten worse
gritty crater
yes i agree
median quarry
Its been a problem since R1 ||chargers|| from my experience
Which makes it harder to hit ||chargers|| more so giants when their haymaker animation starts and ends
since it can clip through walls

but what you don't get is that it's not a human trying them
for a computer cycling a few thousand won't take a millisecond

That's almost as bad as people cheesing the last run down duping batteries... Just play the game.

If you duped batteries on last run down you didnt actually ever finish it.
Cheating isnt speed running
Unless I missed the memo?

@hallow patio enlighten me

@broken orchid that's what I thought too.

It didn't reset it in R2
You just simply got a fail message and was prompted to try again
I haven't personally failed a verify sequence in R3 so I'm unsure if it does that currently
gritty crater
i screwed it once and it didn't do anything so i assume we get at least a few tries
no fails would be pretty brutal
glad nest
It would be yes

I do think it restarted the wave on R1C1

which is what it is most of the time
or the terminal typing in what it wants and ignoring what it doesn't

I do remember something like that Wesley
I do find it interesting though that the error comes up for just typing REACTOR_VERIFY into the terminal with no code and gives you the 3 or whatever seconds the cooldown is
hexed matrix
I never failed a sequence in R2 so lmao guess that makes sense
bleak crane
They changed it between R2 and R3 so that there is a CD if you fuck it up, which effectively removes the viability of brute force. It would take you ages to go through all 500+ words.
25 minutes if it's only a 3 second CD
