Sometimes it's a spiral thingy fuckery with catwalks
other times it's a single staircase
Hmmmmmm
Oh, the hub zone just before reactor?
Yeah... Huh... Single staircase? Never seen that.
ngl i see people aim very low but still landing headshot
Can I ask you something? Where can you find the logs for R8a2 extreme? Can you find them in R8B2 or B3 or B4?
you mean the password?
yes
its on B2
oh thanks š
1 part on b2 main, the other on b2 sec
ok thanks guys
b2 main part is in e2 too
No
Before the second alarm, on the left side, second zone
Mostly lore related.
Finding a specific log, or experiencing a specific event.
Although there is one weird one - to drop 100.000 meters.
(It means the total sum of level depth. You must actually survive the expedition too.)
There is 9 which ones donāt you have
what'd you get
Bethās number
she hates him...

Please do not hit on people via dms
Pachi you should check your dms
Then report me to mod contact
Jish dear, there's nothing there
I don't blame you Jish
At least not yet
nuts photo inbound
Hm
Very exciting

You don't gotta rub it in
bots in a nutshell
OK thats way worse given what we're talking about
Lmao
no my photos are magic best pick up lines
A groin picture does not work any magic, some other stuff would work wonderfully though
what the fuck happened
they are taking a nap together?
:3

I want to be hit on in dms send me pickup lines
š«Ø
eyo
for the achievment "listen to the first state of truth broadcast"
where is that in what lvl
r2e1
what zone
pls tell me someone why e2 is overloaded with just every possible enemy in every room šæ
I have a faint memory of it.
It's prob deep in the level tho
but its r2e1 for sure right
Yes
kk
Have fun
R2E1 in one of the cell rooms
i dont remember which
where the shadow are
its that one?
Zone 598 and 606 have the two lore logs on R2E1
the 606 terminal is like right at the end
I don't know man. They decided to not strike back on 2 small guys
they all died

found it
How come in R8E1 the ALT team is sent to the crater thing within KDS Deep?
complete the rundown
What do you mean
Like why is there a scan there?
It's just to make sure everyone has jumped in
I know, but that's game explanation, not lore explanation.
My best lore guess would be that's the closest approximation for the position of where biocom thinks the teleporter scan would be
Best i can think of is:
"Is it blown up?"
...
"Yep, it did got blown up"
Cry
Agree to disagree
your insane
You're*
What's the lore behind t-scans
You need to lock your doors at night
The people scanning got bored of standing still
Scans in general have always been a giant plot hole in on itself, we just kinda accept it as the game doing game things.
This shit is never making it into a movie.
you donāt need to follow the holopath to open a door
what did the warden mean when they put a class XII berserk scan at the start of r8d2
the lore implications...
What the hell is a class XII BERSERK scan
I don't wanna know
oh that's just what my team calls the new r8 enemies
OK we get it
There is a XII? Alarm thing?
But what's a berserk scan
we like to call the alarms by the enemy types they spawn
Beserk is the enemy name they gave them
yeah lol
What are you doing in spoiler chat anyway
5 scout types
I like to call the new strikers Pineapples and the shooters Sapplings 

Regular, Scooter, Shadow, Charger, Nightmare
What do they do
Why are there so many variants
Why not
What has evolution done to those poor things
Evolution isn't set in stone, mutations are always gonna happen
lore implications of why it costs like 4000 cfoam and 200 burst cannon shots to kill one single nightmare scout
Lmao we were doing b2c1 and it was our first time seeing a shadow type enemy
We were like
Wtf??
Is this a bug?
Because stronk biomass
It was funy
Shadows are my favorite enemy
yes it costs 4000 cfoam and 200 burst cannon shots to kill a single nightmare scout
also their tendrils retract really fucking fast
Play R8 and you shall know 
Want a pro tip?
Nah, something else
Yes
Start with the last terminal, end with the first. Therefore when the uplinks are done you are closer to the extraction
Poggers
Also there were lots of fog
We couldn't see sh*t so we died
Yeah we died because we couldn't see sleepers
Massive skill issue right?
Bring bio
There were too many enemies
We couldn't stealth kill them
Like 5 together? Idfk
That should've been easy but the fog was annoying
Yeah the fog in that map is atrocious
It also makes the lighting even brighter so it's basically a flashbang level
But hey, R2C2 has a great surprise
R2C2 and onwards is where it gets cool and real
I hammered a spore and our teammate literally had a heart attack
Oof
We laughed so hard
What's with the giant boss fight in the end of the game
Does it have a lore to it
Which one
Bossfight
The big dude
Wdym which one
How many giant dudes are there
š
The one that has a big mouth
And tumors..
Idk it's as big as a tower

What level?
I'm talking about the enemy that's as tall as Tony stark's building
Idk I saw it on yt
Probably spoilers (100%)
Oh the kraken, well so the lore behind it is that a group of scientists were experimenting with biomass. The issue was that the creature was still in development when Dreyfus decided to cut all funds to the research team. They recovered the specimen and decided to never give it up. Cause in the end, they never wanted to let the scientific community down. So they kept researching, never running around, and never deserting their purpose 
I dunno if I'd call Nemesis an "end game boss fight."
Oh yeah this dude ig
It is at the end of the game Ray
What else would it be
I guess if anything it did take significantly longer than any other fight weāve had
Sleepers need guns
Aren't they rocket launchers
No, just very slow bullets
Because their missiles seem to be homing
Rocket launchers would require an AoE explosion
Hey, Dark Souls had them homing bow/crossbow arrows for ages and i don't see anyone complaining...
Oh wait, that's me
HEL Rifle.
I was playing in a b class mission and there were two together
Also two other scouts together
Or high cal, if you have the balls to let them get close.
They killed our team under 15 seconds
Hel gun works too
I play hel gun and hel revolver
Just melee them when they get close to stagger and melee again :)
Where do I exactly shoot them
Alright guys, i need something.
I need to know the depth or R8E2, from expedition description.
Almost the same as R8E1 or R5E1, roughly 1000m deep
I need the precise number
Spreadsheet is complete
80 R8A1 clears
R8A1 is quite deep as well, if I remember correctly
The whole game comes down to 75.813m out of 100.000m required
Does Tutorial have a depth?
Waiting for kds deeper
It actually does....
Because if so and you didnāt count it, that may be the last mission
Someone get d0cred
76.198m with tutorial
So whole game + 1
R7A1 and R8A1 look like best grinding options ~800 and ~1250 respectively
50% more depth, for 50% longer loading time and bigger map
R7D2 got whole 1300m for the 25 minutes of gameplay it offers, but that's assuming squad doesn't wipe
Man, if only it counted previous attemptsā¦
R7D2 clears in like 10-15minutes

Unless you're going very slow
Unless you want speedrun records of 6 minutes iirc
First time clears and weaker teams:
do you really want me to check?
100% Clears:
Eh it seems like w/ tutorial it would still be whole game + 1 so it wouldnāt really make a difference. I guess it would if it was 75m left excluding tutorial and tutorial was counted
So nah you donāt have to itās not game breaking
@half hornet INCLUDE TUTORIAL 
4:07 is outdated, 06 and 05 is the time that's being grinded for now
Granted people don't really speedrun the level to that point
D4
Tbf, you can still carry it to 20 minutes.
I forgor R6
It's the full clears that are kind of long.
I always forget r6c3 exists
All doors + penalty is like 40 minutes.
only when I pull 3 tanks and p mom at the same time
and make sure there is charger giants plus bridge spam
The only true way to play
Huh, i missed a level.
Shit.
Good things i decided to re-check evertything and go extra stupid on this useless spreadsheet
Damn, do i have to re-check values too?... Now i feel paranoid.
Sigh... Do it right, or GTFO...
What are you doing again, artek?
Compiling a list of expedition + depth for the Inner
Hm, not bad to have ig
But I still think the easiest way would be farming r3d1 or r7d2
R8A1 is probably best ratio
You might be onto something, casuals runs of that shouldn't take more than 7 minutes jf you're rushing scans
What do you guys think of R8A2?
Depth?
Feels a little bit slow. Shadows grind stealth to a hault.
Its exactly the same as R8A1
Not worth
Which is 1254
If you want peak efficiency R8A1 will triumph over A2
R8E1 would be less efficient but more āfunā I suppose
R7E1 isnāt really viable
If we take average time as 7 minutes for R8A1 and you need 80 clears, you get 560 minutes, roughly 9.3 hours
Donāt think anything will really top that
Probably not
Yea, it's much worse to optimise
how do you get r8e1 to more than 30 mins
Itās 20?
What are you smoking
Not including failures from pubs
20 at worst
40 at best for R7E1
Average veteran time for R8E1 prob closer to 17-18 min
There are a lot of optimisations you can make for r7e1 I guess? But it's definitely far worse for grindinf
im just asking how its possible
cause i saw a run that was like 40 mins
I think Brazil skip was 37 or 38 minutes, if you full blast speedrun then it's faster but you know
and was extremely confused
Are you really going to get a team who can properly speedrun that level
20 minutes R8E1 first time pubs? Possible
Probably not, which is why it wouldnāt be good for grinding
Long kiting for ages or waiting for ages, like waiting until the end and then running back for extreme terminal commans
Youāre timegated in R8E1 and assuming no one knows what they are doing, theyll miss some stuff
Checkpoint just adds time
If you fuck up
ah
Checkpoints fucking with the timer is so funny

We do +/- 0.5 hours for dropping
If we take RTA
~10 hours of gameplay grinding R8A1 for the Inner
You could do it in a day
does anyone have any tips for the tank scans in R8D1? they're such hell to deal with especially in the giant room with the stairs leading down š
There is a path you can take (and believe you are supposed to) that avoids the scans
Iād recommend finding it and learning it before doing anything else
i saw that path yeah
ill try to learn it as best as i can
is there any way to consistently dodge or avoid the tanks tenticle attacks too? i try my best to and i cant figure out how
Play around cover
Tanks have a lot more range than regular sleepers and their tongues do funny stuff
so the game audio broke and didnt hear anything of what was said at the end of R8E2
so did we escape and then what?
okay ill try that thank u!
also was there any point to doing the secondary objective? would the outcome had been different otherwise?
that last mission was beyond difficult and was just pure luck that we passed it
is there somewhere i can go to read like a transcript of the lore? the story? cause its messy lol
There is a pinned document in #gtfo-lore and you can ask any additional questions there.
That or go to wiki and started reading slowely and carefully
A2 Code this week?
R025N-8IRXJ
@frosty niche
That's weird
yea, thats what im thinkin
You can't host an E1 level because it is unlocked by clearing every Main
in the rundown.
You don't have B2 and C2 > therefore > you can't host E1.
no info out yet on the endings š¦
Yeah, wiki people being notably slow for some reason this time around.
I have like 4 new helmets and none of them are on the wiki.
was there always a teleporter at KDS deep? and why go to KDS deep? Like isnt that the place they store operatives... why not choose another teleporter location there are plenty thru rundown 6
Which is a shame
Where is my plate armor goddammit
Where are my 2 cooler prosthetic legs
Where are my dual robo arms
WHERE ARE THEY
I've been stuck with same like 4 cosmetics since Rundown 7
Only thing that got replaced is the helmet (and its a sidegrade really, not an upgrade) and i guess slightly more interesting palletes... But that's it.
if a new player played this game i dont think theyd understand the story at all. maybe if the original rundowns were still here they would? my understanding is theres 2 teams original and ALT with 2 schaffers crazy and not crazy
but the ones we play as for the first 6 rundowns are the ones with the bad ending
Yeah, that's been a major concern that wasn't really adressed in any meaningful way.
the ones who escape dont have a story
You play one story for first 6 rundown, switch to a different one in rundown 7, then go back to ALT one and... You know the rest.
i feel like things couldve been handled way better. love the game but the story is the messiest thing ive ever seen
The price they had to pay for their weird development model.
i cant tell if the alternate dimension team was part of the plan all along or if they did that in order to wrap up the game quickly
btw do you know how those 2 teams met? like how the dimensions merged? Schaeffer mentioned something but i did not understand it at all lol
Its 100% the wrap up
The story starts feeling rushed quickly.
The first half is... Alright.
Mostly because you're just kinda blind to what is going on.
But so far A2>C2 are just nonsensical.
I'm probably missing some pieces, but things just go from 0 to 100 real quick
yea
and im just browsing steam discussions now and seeing mentions of a "mimic"
do they mean the clone KDS developed?
im so confused
The mimic, the unit, the conduit.
why even have that clone that they developed like what did it contribute to the story?
The artificial creep the corpse of which you can observer in R6CX as well as a mountain of corpses of them in, uh... R5... D1?...
maybe im stupid but i just am not understanding it
Or was it R4D1?...
yeah i remember that'
so they are like bred using machines but whats the purpose for the story
as far as i know alt schaeffer gets info from them?
Have you played CX?
original schaeffer kills one
yeah but its been a while
finished all the missions
just finished r8
For the longest time we theorized their purpose was to replace us, because ability to be invisble to sleepers is effectively god mode in the facility.
But it turned out the Warden was making them with one purpose and purpose alone: to talk to us.
ohhh right there was a log about how they arent detected... and how arent they detected lol just really light feet?
oh
OG R6 one tried and got fucked.
ALT R6 succeeded, because ALT Schaeffer is not actually insane and seems to have about 15 extra IQ points.
Not THE Warden
so the dead one we see in cx is schaeffs doing
Its... Weirdly complicated, for some reason.
Its not Warden who talks through the unit - its some other consciousness.
"The Warden is of us" it says. Its one of them / works with them, but its a separate thing entirely from whatever was posessing the unit.
i wish i could use a gif to depict my confusion
your explaining just fine its just... the story lol
i started out thinking we were just 4 prisoners out of thousands but are all the other prisoners us? are we clones?
No, other teams definetely exist. Schaeffer was a part of one team like that.
ohhh right right
We're not factually prisoners, but rather Warden calls us that because we respond better to orders when he does. Which is something Warden both figured out and implemented himself.
BIOCOM just called us "resources".
The whole R8 debacle has been probably the biggest mystery. The mechanics of how 2 teams and BOTH Schaeffers ended up in the same place make absolutely zero fucking sense.
the chips?
in our rectum
i mean cranium
at first i thought rundown 5 kds deep us waking up kds deep woke up the other team but now i find out they arent clones
HUH
maaaaaaaaaaaan
i appreciate the info im still as confused as before but not for a lack of understanding the story
we dont talk about what the warden did to us
nah bro
thats wild
"fuck the warden" right??
schaeffer said that
speaking of which i felt terrible drowning the guy after he had a fucking meltdown
despite him being kind of a prick
he killed the other Schaeffer
and was gonna leave us for dead
he killed himself technically
he had it coming
so is that considered auto-unalive? (i dont want to say the word)
sewer side
and yes
i thought it was rather comedic
The KDS deep affair was called "The Influx protocol"
but very depressing
i felt like there were 5 different stories going on
and thats doubled now because NOW THERES 2 TEAMS
I genuinely do fear its because the story elements were heavily inspired by their design process.
KDS Deep Influx protocol was a clever way of leading into Rundown 6, v1.0 release with "influx" of new players, like the facility is getting raided big time.
this game had so much potential with the world its set in i love it but the execution was kind of butchered š¦
but i suppose im glad i have a finished game
Storytelling in 2020s... Seems like its the industry standard almost now.
Oh well... Im yeat to beat R8's D2 and E2, so maybe i'll see something cool in there.
R8E1 was hype for what it was.
yeah... I miss older games. Crazy how lethal company outsold Modern Warfare 3 lol. I feel like all these games have potential that is wasted
Daudas line "We will bleed together one last time" went hard asf
Still curious what dictates who speaks and when.
i was told R8E2 was the good ending but for me a good ending is getting both teams to escape not helping the selfish one to leave the others
For me it was hackett saying "I think we made it" followed by Bishop saying "It doesn't bloody end! It never ends!"
yeah idk. Its like L4D2 u need to play it multiple times to hear all the voicelines. But since its an E tier mission I wont be touching it again lol
To be fair its the easiest E-tier in the game.
Its literally just move forward, acquire ammo, keep moving.
sure it is
but im now playing for fun
im not stressed bout completing all the more difficult missions
i liked the start of R6
the whole teleportation stuff to alien planet was kinda cool for me
alot of the really cool missions are alot harder and require teammates and getting everyone on to try and fail for a few hours isnt welcome in my friendgroup lol
i say "lets play gtfo!" and they tell me to gtfo
LFG is da way
i think you have to finish the mission right?
i killed a big guy solo melee but didnt get the achievement till i finished the mission
and i dont think u have to win
just finish any way
so killing myself doesnt count ?
yes
It's prolly bugged

Bruh š
friends?
damn
Dumbass cat has never heard of that word
"I don't have friends. I have family."
Family. Family. Family. Family.
I do have friends but none of them play GTFO lol
Rip
The better bots mod is a good substitute but it won't help much on D or E tiers
are you sure about that?
But they'll be competent enough to help through A and B
Well when I tried it out it's not like they carried me or anything
Better bots can totally carry
I just dislike the team damage
The better bots mod removes that
Bishop has downed me more times than I can count
Especially not with bots
Even through doors and walls lol
I meant for bots specifically
I've gotten downed by bots a lotta times
mainly if they have strong weapons
Sniper lol
Scatter bot
Bot Scatter, Bot feel good
Yeah I'm surprised at this stage in videogames (in general not just this game) they haven't smoothened out and found the perfect line between brain dead and carry
Scatter bots scatter my brains
they are good for biotracking though
even a person with full tracker cpu speed isn't as good as a bot with bio lol

Itbdoesnt work
Youll still get damage by them
Its been broken since forever
Also fatshark its a really good example of how good bot support can be
Of course fatsharks games its way more simple than gtfo
But the baseline its there
Granted the bot support of gtfo should be design for 2 players + 2 bots anyways
Not to be played solely with bots
ok beep ill bite. my noob opinion is that it's kind of a better sniper because you can 2-burst bigs and can kill 3.5 per mag. also you don't need to hit head.
im glad u put some respect on burst cannon at least
maybe excel ethan isnt entirely lost...
we didnt get the hel gun verdict yet
The world isnāt ready for that yet
HEL weapons are harder to rate on numbers alone, because penetration . Gameplay impacts them much more
thats why the hel gun verdict is important
im shit with hel gun because of the chargeup but on paper its very good and one the more versatile specials, no?
anyway the spreadsheet has shots-to-kill tables (+ ammo efficiency) now for most enemies and they re-calculate based on the range input which is very based and cool
but small chance there's a typo in 1 or 2 of the formulas
š«”
how do you cal the tank ammo efficiency?
he aint on there lol
i have a limb break formula tho and I can just change it slightly for limbs with capped damage
tank and mom will be added eventually
dw jish
will you inculde the extra one damage
I already ruined him with tumor overdamage
for tumour break
but the extra one damage one tumor break
that he doesnt know about
changes host rev from 38 bullets to 37
MASSIVe
wait uve already done the math thats crazy
did you account for the tank amour muit once you break tumor source trust me bro
is that where the overkill damage goes? ik its not gonna matter since armor mult is 0.001 or something tho
no it is someone being insane
the extra damages is just one
for tumor pop
unless client then you have no damage cap
HOW IT HAS OVERKILL DAMAGE ON THE TUMOR
maybe nightmare scout's overkill damage is multiplied by its armor mult?
no probs not
I dont think so
client is just werid
knife to front + sniper to back killed it
what gun?
Well⦠shit
It didnāt copy the right thing
Ig that works
If the overkill damage is 100%, and not 0.3 (armor mult), then a sniper to the back will deal 160.24 damage, leaving it on 0.76HP
that is what happens
but if the overkill damage is only 30%, a sniper to the back would deal only 104.772, leaving the scout on 56.2hp
@lost nova
look at the vid?
does knife deal 56 damage
knife crit damage is 8.25
I think nightmare enemy tumors act like regular limbs
im pretty sure knife does a whole 3000 damage
not actual tumors
idk
makes host scatter slightly better
very nice
3 choke mod to the back
i thoght host couldnt kill
only diff between limbs and tumors is the cap at max tumor hp
and ig the stupid 1 damage on break
no reason to ever take choke scatter is in the game
but I refuse to mention that
very unfo
style points
If Iām not delusional I think Jaja told me once you could/were able to kill as host scatter
THis IS VERY important
Donāt remember canāt confirm
im throwing your lethal run
SuperScout can't have the 1 damage on break, or else it would get 1-tapped by sniper
literally
yeah im a lil slow
i will boss your tumor
its just a head
do you think scatter needs another buff
maybe more ammo in clip?
not that slow
needing to reload between mom kills is very unfo
would you choose to do 1 extra damage on pop to me or not.,.,.,. š š
XDXD
I found the reason they nerfed sniper BTW. It's this video #gtfo-media message

we all knew about this
it was in the game
yeah but is that why
for 6 rundowns man
whos gonna show them the last 100 r7d2 runs weve done
do u think thats the motivation for the nerf tho
so we can get scattergun demolished
if it is then it is because they really dont want d mom to be sniper fucked
If you make that argument you could do the same for BC
BC had the same capability
unfo they buffed scatter so DeMom still didnt get to act
doesnt even take scatterguns full reserve
closer to half
is no waY
its 5k health jish
do u think they should make scatter 3 bullets but nerf prec damage to 0.3 so you can't scatter mom?
JisH š¤Æ
they just need to remove scatter
ong, give it a precision nerf and then buff stagger
and rebuff sniper
so you cause mom running birth and do no damage
its 10C classic
nerf weapons in the absolute worst way possible
so literally no one wants to take them anymore
Make the mod 
Fair
Last patch was time doing moving scan fix
is something actually wrong with pmoms in r5d1
i think i saw other people getting double spawn, and it didnt seem like a one off thing
š¬
@deft kiln
?????
looking ass
MUMBLE BROS
Good buff
fuck me and my GTFO% solo
i hope you fall down a well
You***'re*** my 14th reason why
Yo guys
No
Im watching T-nenpis E2 duo
They done 
And on the door scan he jump on the trap scan
Stopping the alarm to the kraken fight (technically the alarm is still going but no spawns/1 alarm leading to it with the Pmom spawn after scans)
This shit giving me memories from R5E1 charger alarm/class IV shadow
whats a good level thats easy to speedrun in under 10 min for the drop distance achievement, but would still be kinda interesting to learn?
R1A1
R7A1
R2B1
R3D1
awesome, thanks!
missed opportunity to indoctrinate another person into the r7d2 grind
nah
its your special hell
you keep it
remember its 10min
R7D2 is fast and more fun to do
we're full
hey, got a question. im swith some friends right now trying to do R8A2. we know about the terminal for secondary and the password for it is in R8B2. we have this week's password, but I want to ask where exactly is it in R8B2? where is the terminal? how quickly can we get to it?
in the area with water
in a mossy corner you can walk through
otherwise
you can just ping the terminal from the other one
is that in B2? or are the two terminals hidden the same way behind moss in both A2 and B2?
Are you asking where the password is acquired?
yes
It appears on a terminal in the big fight of
about 2 minutes after the fight starts
A half of it anyway.
Didn't read fully. Rip
Another half is in... One of the funny broken terminals.
But yeah. Need B2 main and Secondary to get both halves of the code
I see. So we have to finish B2 main and B2 secondary and two different runs just to unlock A2 secondary. I dont think we will be up for it just because of the time constraints. After A2 secondary I know E2 secondary also requires a password ? how many passwords are there for us to get within a week and how many levels do we need to run i order to get them?
E2 sec doesnt requieres a password
It's just another level you can get one half of the codes
oh ok. so the only thing that requires a password in this rundown is the A2 secondary and it can be obtained in B2 or E2? Im guessing it is similarly split in half between Main and Secondary on both levels?
narratively then, is A2 secondary a dead end where we just listen to Henrikson and the rest of Schaeffer's plan doesnt happen?
No
A2 is literally a poorly implemented Easter egg
It shouldāve been a separate expedition
so it doesnt even make sense
oh, that sucks a bit then. I hoped it would be a separate storyline progression path where levels would have secondaries that are only accessible by getting the password from previous stage's secondary, where we essentially follow Henrikson instead
oh well, at least as it is it makes some sense mechanically
thanks for the help, were not going to worry about A2 secondary for a while then
anyone got the all character backstory logs achievment ?
Nope, wasn't ever aware they exist.
I heard someone else couldn't get their achievement either. Did you let the audio play?
Gotta do r5a2 logs in zone 20 and r5a3 logs in zone 39
Let the audio play and can abort right after
did just that
got the ones in a2 and a3
All 8 logs?
Might have to run it back - I listened to only one fully cuz it was interesting. Rest I aborted right away
Unless thereās others scattered around the complex that I just happened to get. Iām at 140/188 atm.
I did cuz I had to get complete anyways
You are missing a couple
bro
why did i go lore hunting and have all the screenshots
if i have to do it again š
There are 12 audio logs related to the main characters
Where are the last 4 š
Most of them being in R5A2 and R5A3, but there are also 4 more in the same Rundown if I remember correctly
You could pull up the lore database to find them :)
I only have r6+7 logs left so I mustāve already gotten them without knowing
You'll probably get them anyway whole doing the logs achievement
I can't remember the exact ones, since I did go for a bit of lore logs hunting during testing as well, enough to validate the 50 logs one
I have to admit I did not have the time to go look for the whole 188 :D
Omgomgomgomgomgomgomg lazy bug hunters omgomgomgomg
so I was told a while back the secondary objective in R8E2 gives us the "good ending"
i cant be arsed playing E2 again to see the bad ending lol
what does the secondary objective actually do?
oh
well ok then
i put in a command to a terminal in secondary and it was like "trash emptied" or something
garbage chute maybe idk
MAIN_WASTE_FLUSH
it coulda been i got lost af
oh right
yeah ok secondary is reactor
but how did main waste flush help us
gotta empty the trash folder before noping out
cant have the other team finding the homework folder
Powering the reactor in secondary unlocks the door to the zone before KDS Deep,
The other side purged KDS deep (presumably) of waste fumes, particulates and fluids if I had to guess
which then unlocked the door to access KDS Deep
hmm
like i said yesterday i have no idea why it had to be kds deep
dont get me wrong the room is cool asf
people storage
+1 Bot vs R8D2: yay or nay? What would be the trap?
but like any old teleporter woulda worked
It's a location both groups are familiar with
they've both been to KDS Deep before
Sure somewhere like R6B1 would work too, but if I was to guess, it's not secure enough or doesn't provide alternative entrances
Like how were we going to close the door behind us when we got there first
weve played as the alt team and went to kds deep for sure, i assume new players who didnt play original rundowns will assume the same?
as in theyve both been there
Yes
true this game doesnt let us close big doors
considering what the story is now, i think it wouldve been cool for all the rundowns to feature what R8 has, where you play as one team on one side and the other team on the other side
not exactly the same missions or anything
just for story sake it'd match up better
The problem is, both alt and original r1-r7 are practically identical
not r7 whoops
yeah but new players who didnt play originals wont understand that theres a new team
i sure didnt lol
none of my friends did
its like 6 rundowns one team and then we switch it up real quick for rundown 7 then mix it rundown 8
ĀÆ_(ć)_/ĀÆ
It is a shrug moment indeed.
Not much can be done about it
I do appreciate that they found a somewhat elegant way to wrap things up, considering how it could have derailed after R7 and the Alt:// segment
im just happy its wrapped up at all
things coulda been done so much better but i still like it
the story is fine but just not tied together nicely
While there are of course quite a few holes, I really enjoy the "ending", even though there are quite a few zones of uncertainty, to say the least
i much preffered alt teams heroic and tragic ending to the selfish ending of original
its like original Schaeffer and his team transferred from the "asshole" dimension
I mean it makes sense his personally would rub off on them
Naw the alt dimension came over to the original worldline
Well, to be fair the OG team are quite a bunch of bastards. I do not resent them too much for what they did
They did go through hell
Both teams went through hell, but when OG team were given the opportunity to free themselves from both Schaeffer AND the Warden, revenge was on the table
The Alt Team remained under the control of the warden
A very fitting end.
they probably would have done the same as the other team if given a choice
Exactly
unfortunately Schaeffer working alongside the warden killed all chances of that
Frankly the only problem I had with R8 was in E2 when we SOMEHOW knew how to extend the timer, and knew the locations of the terminals to open KDS Deep
You could make the argument in C2 that we knew where the MRI Scanner was because we could still interact with Biocom in our mind, but after that every progression text that appears is our own decision
true
i swear i ask the same question every day and i get a different answer from somebody new
this community is so cool, so many people with so many different info
like a library of congress
true lol

question lads
anyone experienced terminals being bugged in R8D2 specifically?
The fuckers are ignoring my filtering tags
Most of them should end up as " ... , Zone_XXX"
I try LIST RES - it gives me everything
i do LIST RESOURCES - then it gives me resources only
LIST U >>> LIST RES
Hence, "LIST RES" might not be as usefull as in other expeditions
List U is the way to go
Itās faster, less to type
all the 1 letters are pretty fucked in r8

cringeronium
1 letter highly likely to get picked up by a zone name
List E_XXX U gaming
okay
apparently sentries are fucking shit against nightmares
+50% damage on shotgun sentry and it does NOTHING
i see it shooting, i see it hitting, but those fuckers just don't care and eat it
What's people's opinion on R8D2 secondary optimal choice? This squad is trying to do a Class 9 and the fucking tank is being mega cringer
Class 9 is where itās at for sure
Though you can get away with Class 7 and bring fog repellers + turbine for later
It mostly depends on your team loadout
Just hope you don't get the 50/50 snatcher spawn
the fog level with doing the class 7 isnt even bad at all, definitely worth considering if you cant make it past the class 9
I have not tried the "Moderate" option in the current build, but I am pretty sure it is quite cursed for the rest of the run š
The class 7 makes the scan have no fog
But youāll need fog repeller/turbine for later
My first clear was with class 7
And it wasnāt terrible
Fog repellers for the first part after error
And then turbine + fog repeller for the big room
You only need 6 total fog repellers if you play it right
If you do class 5 youāll need more fog repellers cause it makes the alarm easier if you just unfog the entire room
But doing class 5 is just a bad move imo
Itās worth doing 7/9
it still needs 2 shots to kill one
what a suprise (and honestly idk if it aims correctly on them)
Sniper sentry dominates here
Yeah, except it got like no space to work with
iirc don't they target head and then go for body?
i tried bringing it, actually, but the fucking thing ignored them
What does r8c1 secondary terminal do again
Adds shadows to the objective waves later
Thanks
Okay, listen.
Mag size? I can tolerate.
Recoil? Fine.
why this thing refuses to shoot
(sniper rifle)
Shot delay moment
Make sure Hange doesn't throw
Two C-Foam launchers.
Green taking supply eff but not scavenging for resources š and wondering why he had no ammo during sequence
wanna play occlusion?
you and hange
I've never tried Occlusion before I don't think
@timber magnet
what happened
i never throw
whyat the fuck is the R8D2 finale?! hello?!
Welp
3 hours down the drain
I have no idea how the fuck are you supposed to defend against that...
Now with 2 people on 20 HP that is...
Dafaq is the meta here? 3 sniper sentries, i guess?
r8d2 is such a long level
The new R5D1
I did it with 1 burst, 1 cfoam, 1 mine
I don't see how... I guess you didn't fought the secondary tank?
We did
I don't know... The what...
Permafoam + mine secondary
I mean you can't because of the full team scans
You can
About halfway through you have to stop foaming and that's how they break through
If you time it well
After that its just hell
I still havent found an optiomal may of deleting nightmares
HEL Rifle, i guess?
Hel rifle is good
But who's killing the tank...
God, this game just refuses to respect people's time
2 wipes on secondary, barely made it through on 3rd one, flawlessed everything prior to the boss fight (although maybe spent like 3-4 minutes too long getting lost), took out the boss from 2nd attempt, ALMOST made it to extraction and wiped on extraction because we forgot the MWP at the door frame (LMAO).
Alright - another checkpoint, boss fight AGAIN, do the whole fucking thing again and this time we don't even get to open the door - the fucking 2-3 snatchers accompanied by like a dozen nightmares just overwhelmed us immediately.
