eh most door bugs dont rly do that much

#

like stuff you cant rly do anyhting about anymore is ending of r5e1 tbf

vocal geode
#

literally didn't have to deal with waves the entire level

#

(back when I was fairly new to the game)

#

wanted to redo the level without it because it felt cheap

daring pilot
#

doorbuggers who do it without telling anyone are the worst

prisma zodiac
daring pilot
#
  1. Have Archive installed and kick them
prisma zodiac
#

i feel like the shame of forcing them to leave would maybe outweigh that

#

but unsure

daring pilot
#

bro they doorbugged your level

#

If they want to break the game, they can do it somewhere else

prisma zodiac
#

tbh i dont think ill ever get random ass doorbuggers

#

due to stream

daring pilot
#

if I ever run into a doorbugger, I will have 0 remorse when I kick them

vocal geode
prisma zodiac
#

ah

vocal geode
#

when we got to the second surge alarm door I think I realized

#

but at that point I had already spent like 30+ attempts on that level and wanted to get it over with

#

I did want to revisit it at a later point and do it legit

#

which I did

deft kiln
#

Door bugging is a thing that exists

vocal geode
#

thank you Jish

#

very insightful

latent willow
#

Doorbugging is moderately amusing but nothing much more past that

obtuse surge
#

play R8E1

crisp gyro
#

r8e1 could have been a r6c3 copy and i wouldnt mind

astral ferry
#

i'm sad it wasn't longer

#

really wanted an e-tier warden protocol level

solemn wigeon
#

you can always make your own

crisp gyro
#

doesnt hit different

solemn wigeon
#

Commission someone to make one

crisp gyro
#

but it doesnt feel the same when its not canon

daring pilot
#

idk if any other modders have

solemn wigeon
#

If you think about it.... Fatal Experiment's Swarm is like that

crisp gyro
#

how comprhensive is it

daring pilot
#

uhhhh

#

it’s a PE level

#

If you do main only, you have the option to force time locked doors open early - for a price

#

i’ve synced up the timer to the expedition completely at this point, only thing I haven’t done is beaten it

#

without developer mode lol

#

not for lack of trying

crisp gyro
#

lets duo that lvl then

daring pilot
#

me?

#

nah man I can’t duo that shit

#

My biggest struggle point is Ovl

#

I won’t spoil anything but it gets really really hard for uncoordinated groups around when you open ovl

crisp gyro
#

spoilers are fun until they arent

vocal geode
#

spoiling yourself can upset your stomach

daring pilot
#

yeah

#

It’s Occlusion RD-E1: Teratoma

#

just so you have the name

crisp gyro
#

is it a neonate lvl too?

daring pilot
#

no

crisp gyro
#

i guess a fancy boss is waiting 🤔

daring pilot
#

i wish lol

#

Go to D4 or E2 for that

#

i mean if you want the equivalent of a fancy boss you can do the Teratoma Death run

crisp gyro
#

🤔

daring pilot
#

Do Ovl and Main, and override every door

#

that’s the death run

crisp gyro
#

how many lvls u got ?

daring pilot
#

11, soon 12

#

Gonna be 13 total

crisp gyro
#

so occlusion 2.0 when

daring pilot
#

It’ll be nice to have an outside judge of my E tier difficulty

daring pilot
#

After I finish Occlusion

#

That one will be mostly E tiers

#

Occy is an upside down R5

vocal geode
#

didn't get that impression from playing A1 and B1

daring pilot
#

i meant like

#

The shape

vocal geode
#

ah

daring pilot
#

Keep in mind I was also learning to mod as I went

vocal geode
#

||joking||

daring pilot
#

I’ve tuned things up here and there but generally, as you go down, level design improves immensely

#

D and E is where I start doing my own thing

royal lichen
#

still stuck on d1. damn ||spoiler enemy||.

daring pilot
#

yeah XD

#

D2 ending goes hard

hope I can play Occlusion with some of you at some point

livid heath

hallow lark
#

Ok

daring pilot
#

yeah, once I get the rundown super polished and drop E2, I’ll take a break to play it with y’all

vocal geode
#

cool

hallow lark
daring pilot
#

no do it it’s funny

vocal geode
#

no spoilies

#

#

Lmao! No please I don’t want him to suffer my hell

royal lichen
#

sadism - noun - this ^

hallow lark
#

For your sake. Just don’t

vocal geode
#

I will do it without all of those

hallow lark
#

No

vocal geode
#

yes

daring pilot
#

do it without monitor

vocal geode
#

I will brick my monitor

#

as it's happening

hallow lark
#

Trust me, the paths I took. I suffered hard and the game seed didn’t help either @daring pilot saw it

#

I had a small ptsd of that level for awhile

winter wharf
#

I'm curious about trying a solo speedrun while soundless

#

it can't be that bad surely, given how many hours of experience I have solo speedrunning (not that I'd be going breakneck pace)

hallow lark
daring pilot
hallow lark
#

I never included you.

daring pilot
#

yeah lol, you really got rng’ed to hell tho

#

Terrible Ex spawns, and then the terminal scan just not appearing

hallow lark
#

….and regrets….

#

I entered that Pmom room not knowing it was a Pmom

#

Until I saw all those babies. And I’m like… fuck.

hallow lark
daring pilot
#

hehehe

hallow lark
#

I shitted bricked when that one baby woke and danced around Pmom for a good 15 seconds of heart stopping attempt to kill it

kind swan
#

Enemy: I choose to attack over screaming

hallow lark
#

It didn’t scream at all which is odd. But probably didn’t scream after it mind-fucked me

kind swan
daring pilot
#

Nah it chose to skitter

hallow lark
daring pilot
#

I was watching

kind swan
daring pilot
#

It was so funny

daring pilot
#

Mayhaps

hallow lark
#

I lost a few years of life on that

daring pilot
#

Wait until you do E2

#

OH GOD

#

i just realized a certain section of E2 will be pure hell for you

hallow lark
#

So when I get there and see what hell it is. I’m blaming you XD

kind swan
daring pilot
hallow lark
daring pilot
#

It is a mechanic that you will have never encountered before

#

it is definitely worse than those E1’s

hallow lark
#

Oh shit

balmy robin
#

It is a fun level though.

daring pilot
balmy robin
#

R8E2

#

I have enjoyed a lot learning it, then running it with different teams

daring pilot
#

oh I’m talking about my E2

#

Lmao

balmy robin
#

Oh.

#

Well, that must be something as well.

kind swan
hallow lark
#

Are mines useful in R8B3?

crisp gyro
#

yes

hallow lark
#

Ok

solemn wigeon
#

they blow up enemies on doors :3

atomic escarp
#

:3

half hornet
#

Hard disagree

#

I don't remember many useful doors on that level

#

And if you're going for the "Fog Begone" solution - mines will do jack shit for you. 3 sentries is better.

crisp gyro
#

Uplink n secondary tho

half hornet
#

R8B3 had a secondary ShooterUok

crisp gyro
#

Yes

half hornet
#

wa~

crisp gyro
#

Error collect 10 glps

half hornet
#

Its one with a pillar terminal surrounded from all sides?

crisp gyro
#

4 chargers 1 flyer every 30 secs

half hornet
#

Oh right, the GLPs. Now i remember.

half hornet
#

Yeah, maybe mines will come in somewhat useful.

#

Its still just an error alarm though... Frankly turrets will be more ammo efficient on the matter.

crisp gyro
#

Or plenty of small doors and mines

#

But If u have a hel rifle player u can save tool for later

hallow lark
#

Just finished B3 M + Sec

#

so all good

royal lichen
#

the spire of babylon

hallow lark
#

cant wait to see what B4 is\

#

Im just gunna assume that EVERY level from A2 since on is unbottable

chrome rivet
#

pretty fair assumption

hallow lark
#

Whelp.... Time for me to set up a party for R8B4

chrome rivet
vestal lance
#

Unless you have someone who can run you through for what to do at the end LUL

hallow lark
#

Ill have someone run me through

chrome rivet
#

even then

#

I wouldnt do it

hallow lark
#

whats Secondary?

chrome rivet
#

yeah

hallow lark
#

Ive been told by Hiru that B4 is the "F1" of R8

chrome rivet
#

its miserable and is easily more difficult than some e tiers

vestal lance
#

I mean you /can/ cheese the ending with some funny play but eh

chrome rivet
#

though main isnt too bad

vestal lance
#

(Secondary that is)

chrome rivet
#

however if enemies spawn on top of you or behind you as they have in my runs

#

its so joever

daring pilot
vestal lance
#

The giants always spawn wherever they damn please

hallow lark
#

Whelp. Im not gunna let that stop the Soundless machine

deft kiln
#

Do people not understand spawn mechanics?

#

Insane

daring pilot
#

i mean i do

#

that doesn't mean I like them

deft kiln
#

Daisy chain to hard

daring pilot
#

yep

deft kiln
daring pilot
#

oh that

hallow lark
#

I just chalk that up to being in a bad place or at the wrong place

daring pilot
#

tbf

#

in E1 there is a situation where with all 4 players in the same room you can have an entire wave spawn on you

#

the tiny room in the bulkhead dc zone

#

it's so fucking annoying

deft kiln
#

This isn’t e1 but that is because of spam so funny things

chrome rivet
#

Still I feel having to play around what I assume to be unitentionall spawning is pretty annoying

chrome rivet
#

However what causes it?

#

Would be really helpful, thought it was something having to do with host

deft kiln
#

So if you are exactly two rooms away from someone with no one helping your spawn block you becomevalid spawn

#

So all you have to do is stand in a room beside your buddy and both of you can’t be spawned on

#

Nothing to do with host

winged dagger
#

Can someone explain. Team in alternative path is the same group from other reality or something else?

tropic pollen
calm coral
#

where does R8B4 sec come in

#

bc the meltdown alarm sound is the same as the start of E1 but Im assuming the end of D2 is the actual start of E1

#

chronologically

prisma zodiac
calm coral
#

alt group does not have this

vocal geode
#

OG team goes against the Warden and Schaeffer, ALT team follows Schaeffer's and Warden's orders

calm coral
#

yeah

#

OG schaeffer wants to burn down the complex, ALT team just wants to escape

#

both schaeffers die and OG team actually escapes using the coordinates found by ALT team in R8C1

livid heath
#

B4 is the start to the end run on A1

calm coral
#

huh?

vocal geode
livid heath
#

B1-B2 we run to a different place to do the degausser

livid heath
#

with his goofy ahhh cant even speak to OG team normally

#

youd bet

calm coral
#

no all I can imagine is that R8B4 sec is non canon

vocal geode
#

either Schaeffer does it himself or gets another team to do it

livid heath
#

but we still go rouge on OG schaeferr anyways

calm coral
#

like

#

objective changes

livid heath
#

not told

calm coral
#

to get the datasphere and get out

livid heath
#

we changed it ourself but gets intercepted by schaefer with the new stack

#

because we werent at C2 yet to burn those control chips

calm coral
#

doesnt make sense bc we talk to schaeffer during the level

livid heath
#

thats why ALT team was on a different path

#

a longer one

#

who knows how much time it differs betweeen dimensions

vocal geode
#

the ALT and OG dimension merged in R8 though

livid heath
#

all youd get to know is on C1 we make it back to the central data farm

calm coral
#

theyre both the same dimension

livid heath
livid heath
#

doesnt say much

calm coral
vocal geode
livid heath
calm coral
#

but the two quads are merged into the normal dimension

livid heath
#

what im saying is

#

ALT team+ ALT schaffer had diff plans

calm coral
#

what im saying is

livid heath
#

and went for the data cords + degausser

calm coral
#

schaeffer diff

calm coral
livid heath
#

taking them

calm coral
#

stole smh

livid heath
#

OG also tried to save ALT

calm coral
#

no they didn’t, it was too dangerous

livid heath
#

but Bishop was like "its them or us. and i choose us"

vocal geode
#

yeah they knew they had to betray them

livid heath
vocal geode
#

they probably knew it was alternate versions of them because of what Schaeffer said in C2

livid heath
#

hence why theres a dialog on everyone in OG while theyre recording to try and get the data cubes on the end of E2

#

saying we need the data cubes to help them "theyre getting cooked down there"

vocal geode
#

yeah because they didn't wanna lose the datacubes

#

they needed them

livid heath
#

imo its really isnt up to debate in OG teams progressions

#

OG schaff rushed them like dogs

#

you literally dont have a break on OG side since A2-B4

balmy robin
#

"Busy day tomorrow."

calm coral
#

still thi

#

tho

#

how does B4 sec fit into all this

livid heath
calm coral
#

and is that only a sector meltdown or is it bigger

livid heath
#

its the whole complex cooling reactor systems thats being drained

calm coral
#

well thats D2

vocal geode
#

the meltdown happens regardless

livid heath
calm coral
#

but the meltdown only happens once we drain the tanks tho

livid heath
#

and then we drained it completly

calm coral
#

dont make no sense

livid heath
vocal geode
calm coral
#

also lowering control rods usually means you slow the reactor not accelerate it💀

vocal geode
#

so it either happens on its own, Schaeffer did it remotely somehow, or he had another team do it

livid heath
calm coral
livid heath
#

either the whole main caused enough damaged

vocal geode
#

who says Schaeffer doesn't have other teams?

calm coral
#

another team could have a mwp

livid heath
#

you literally tell me about the enemy count

#

why u goin back at me

calm coral
#

dw

#

🤣

livid heath
#

yeah sure

#

8 giants/ 16 smalls

#

pretty obese wave and N+1

calm coral
#

starts at 6

#

and its only n+1 with every 60 seconds

#

not that bad

livid heath
calm coral
#

its just that wave cooldown is 6-8 seconds

#

so it appears like a surge

#

even though its really not

livid heath
#

stacking up

calm coral
#

yeah

#

thats what im saying

livid heath
#

so in everyones eyes its a surge error lmao

vocal geode
#

I personally think the infectious fog from secondary is too much lol

calm coral
#

same as R6D4

#

ending

vocal geode
#

think the extra nightmares from secondary is already enough

livid heath
vocal geode
#

that's not intended

livid heath
#

but it is there

#

and u can use it as youre pleased

calm coral
#

were talking about intended difficulty here

#

R8B4 sec is harder than R8D2

livid heath
#

D2 is actually fun

#

and hard

#

just bc yesterday we had tuho

#

easy win no diff

calm coral
#

mr lagspike

#

he shot me for 60 on scan for extraction room

#

he almost killed that last run

#

I got so sad

livid heath
calm coral
#

but we clutched it

vocal geode
#

why didn't you help him shoot them then?

#

🤓

livid heath
livid heath
#

i love bringing mele resist and get grand slammed in the throat

calm coral
#

wave spawned on top of him

vocal geode
#

idk if it makes a difference but when I've done clears of that level we had 1 person spawnblock in the room between MWP room and extract door room

#

never had any enemies spawn on top of us

#

they always spawned in the mega mom room

livid heath
#

they did

#

we just didnt know cuz dementia

fallow wasp
#

So for R8D2 is it recommended to do the second or third level of fog decontamination?

solemn wigeon
#

Third for sure

fallow wasp
#

I see why we wouldn’t want to just go all the way, but 99% sounds pretty good

#

(I’m assuming it means 100%)

solemn wigeon
#

Second if you struggle too much with third

balmy robin
#

Second is fine, as long as you keep a decent amount of Fog Repelers for the ending parts

#

But third is advisable if you can beat it

half hornet
#

Just keep taking roll dice at class 9.

#

If you survive it - its GG.

balmy robin
#

I do not think I tried the "moderate" one in this version. I suppose it is easy but the rest of the level is just hell ?

solemn wigeon
#

Alternatively don't do secondary and then no fog to begin with malice

fallow wasp
#

Does the fog cleanse during the scan? Might make it easier to carry the cfoam nades than the fog repellers

solemn wigeon
#

It disappears as you soon as you start

fallow wasp
#

Groovy

balmy robin
#

Not for the other two I believe

solemn wigeon
#

Or goes down by the relevant amount

fallow wasp
#

Good information to know

#

Fog can be dealt with, a massive influx of enemies is more annoying

half hornet
#

Yeah, that scan is hell.

#

Might be the hardest scan in the game, really.

fallow wasp
#

Perma foaming might be worth it I think

#

Just have everyone with a grenade and take turns bolting up to chuck one

#

Alternatively foam the living hell out of the doorway and stall as much as possible that way

kind swan
half hornet
#

It works sort of but not really

#

There's a full team scan every 2-3 rounds

#

Scans 1, 4, 6, 8, 9?

#

So the door will go down, eventually

#

Probably on round 5-6

fallow wasp
#

Eventually of course

half hornet
#

After that all hell breaks lose

#

Surviving those final scans is fucking bruuuutal

fallow wasp
#

A mine or two would hopefully alleviate that

half hornet
#

My clear only survived because of boosters and A LOT of luck

#

The last scan went to the best fucking spot possible

#

Its insane

kind swan
#

Boosters

fallow wasp
#

Which ones?

#

Because I don’t consider stacking 6 bioscan speeds a reproducible strategy

half hornet
#

I had supply eff, the other guy had med eff.

fallow wasp
#

Even less viable

half hornet
#

Supply eff does not matter for that secondary, at all. Everyone is at 100% ammo there anyway, it just doesn't matter because everyone fucking dies.

#

Med efficiency though...

#

You just don't get enough medkits for that scan.

#

You get like... x8 meds total, maybe.

fallow wasp
#

Had someone in my lobby with one of those old provisions boosters

half hornet
#

Any damage you take prior to taking the scan is lethal.

#

Med eff kidna saved the secondary (on top of all the insane luck we got), supply eff secured the rest of main

fallow wasp
#

The r5 provisions that had both supply and med efficiency

#

Either old or just modded in

crisp gyro
#

getting custom boosters isnt as easy

kind swan
#

I came across someone claiming they didn't remember their boosters and that they were old. But it was booster combinations you never see and without conditions

fallow wasp
#

Time to go back in time and pick up 3 terminal use boosters

#

God I miss those

kind swan
#

Example: aggressive main/special dmg 29% without any conditions.

fallow wasp
#

Are boosters hard to code in I wonder? I’d love to see a bunch of new conditions/effects

#

I didn’t mind glowstick proximity

#

As long as the effect was powerful

crisp gyro
kind swan
#

Glowstick color one

#

But I can't trust anyone using that

#

Since you can modify glowsticks to basically light up the world

fallow wasp
#

I had max glowstick power up and it barely changed a thing

#

Sadly

kind swan
#

It did change

#

No one ever notices it sadly

fallow wasp
#

Almost unnoticeable to me

#

It was like 200% or something

#

Was expecting some radioactive shit

kind swan
#

It should affect the radius iirc

half hornet
#

Anyway. BioScan speed is SSS tier booster there, but that's about it. Heal efficiency is 2nd best. The rest is fucking useless on that scan.

kind swan
#

Bigger AoE

fallow wasp
#

Fog repellers are better glow sticks

kind swan
#

Not wrong but they can't be used as often

#

Not to mention sometimes you only get them in certain areas and need them for another section

half hornet
#

Maybe if you can stack +24% special damage on a HEL Rifle to oneshot nightmares... That could also work.

kind swan
#

Hel rifle is still good even without the special dmg

#

They're still weakened afterwards

fallow wasp
#

Can the precision rifle one shot nightmares? I know it can at least to the shooters

half hornet
#

Nope

half hornet
#

Its like 2 shots to the tumor at least

fallow wasp
#

Damn

kind swan
#

The nightmare shooters are weaker than strikers hp wise

fallow wasp
#

Figured that. Hammer doesn’t need to charge so much for a one shot

crisp gyro
#

nightmare shooters got 18 hp

half hornet
#

HEL Rifle and HEL Gun are the most efficient against them at range. Arbalist more or less did well too, until you have to reload.

fallow wasp
#

But I had like 10% melee down and was unable to kill the strikers in one hit

half hornet
fallow wasp
#

Was kinda shitty

kind swan
#

Nightmare strikers have 37

#

Strikers have 20

fallow wasp
#

Poor shooters getting the short end of the stick in every aspect besides scouts

crisp gyro
#

it would be shitty for them to have more hp with how hard they shoot

half hornet
#

Striker = 20
Shooter = 30

Charger (striker extra) = 30
Nightmare striker (super strikers) = 37
Nightmare Shooter (super shooter) = 18 (???)

kind swan
half hornet
#

Fuck's this

#

What, their entire health bar was hiding in those arms?

crisp gyro
#

they also can lick you

fallow wasp
#

It’s their lack of head

#

These ones just barely managed to survive

kind swan
fallow wasp
#

Forever crippled

#

Barely.

kind swan
fallow wasp
#

I don’t consider it

kind swan
half hornet
#

Yeah, funny "technical" truth but nobody cares

#

Devs do love their little tricks

crisp gyro
#

striker looks fkn goofy 💀

fallow wasp
#

Isn’t that essentially what tf2 does for decapitations

half hornet
#

No idea

kind swan
#

Regardless if you take the wrong weaponry. Nightmares are tedious to deal with

fallow wasp
#

A good trick to be certain

kind swan
#

It's the one enemy type I despise since revolver becomes much harder to consistently use against them

fallow wasp
#

Yeah I feel like most weapons are generally less effective against them

#

Cool that they seem to be a common enemy people dread

kind swan
#

It's more so just the nightmare strikers

crisp gyro
#

also uncool they only in some expeditions of r8

kind swan
#

With that 37 hp and weak spot being a tumor on the center torso

fallow wasp
#

Aim for the center mass sounding real true right about now

kind swan
fallow wasp
#

Ahh, I look forward to seeing what the community accomplishes with all the new enemies

crisp gyro
#

they should add a start command that replaces alarm enemies with nightmares

kind swan
#

Occlusion. Dakstar iirc is adding R8 enemies to his E2

crisp gyro
#

so u can have "fun" in earlier rundozns

fallow wasp
#

Start commands are funny

#

I was helping search for the other ones but sadly I never ended up discovering any myself

half hornet
#

Nightmares are basically "hit tumor for proper damage, or switch to main to finish off"

#

For anything that isn't HEL, anyway.

#

I can use High Cal against them. Its just going to be the exact opposite of why i take high cal - TO NOT AIM FOR FUCKING WEAK POINTS

fallow wasp
#

I don’t hear much talk about weapons anymore

crisp gyro
#

i think people are getting bored

fallow wasp
#

The notable ones seem to just be hel guns, a quarter of the specials, and like carbine

prisma zodiac

half hornet
# crisp gyro i think people are getting bored

Yeah, i'm unironically bored of all weapons at this point. Bullpup sucks ass, AR sucks ass, Slug and Short suck ass... There's nothing to use of fun value. I just default to Pistol & Pistol (sometimes PR) and call it a day.

prisma zodiac
#

also choke mod is unironically better vs night mares than high cal imo

#

artek when he could play the actual good (and fun) weapons

„Nah id AR“

crisp gyro
#

sawed off for the win

half hornet
#

MountainMan was not happy with my weapons choices for E2, i'll say that much.

fallow wasp
#

Mozambique

half hornet
#

Me: "damn, bullpup isn't working out..."
Mountain: "Oh really?"
Also me: switches to burst pistol "There we go"
Mountain: loses his mind

crisp gyro
#

i think he had a point

prisma zodiac
#

artek „idk these weapons arent fun anymore“

Maybe because they are ASS

fallow wasp
#

I like regular pistol and that’s about it for the pistols

half hornet
#

Hey, Burst Pistol is a cute little weapon.

fallow wasp
#

Ammo efficient, not awful stats

half hornet
#

Its basically just sliiightly inferior vanilla pistol. Which is the weapon i ended up getting for the clear, in the end.

atomic escarp
prisma zodiac
#

PR is actually rly good on E2 (especially on a competent bio)

fallow wasp
#

Precision rifle is my most used special probably

prisma zodiac
#

makes stealth zones super fast

Great for kraken (best choice) and not bad as boss support

fallow wasp

But tbh not rly needed on E2

Its moreso its insane utility + scout killing + kraken + decent boss killing while also being decent into nightmares

its everything u could imagine

nope easy level got it first try trolled

I still need a few levels in R5 and R6 to have beaten everything

im a main only enjoyer if i say so myself

atomic escarp
#

skipping optionals is for pussies less fun

half hornet
#

Did we mention that our E2 clear ended up being with literal 0% ammo for the final scan?

#

I had to kill 2 nightmares with a spear to survive last 20% of the scan

fallow wasp
#

R5(D1,E1), R6(BX,CX,D2,D3), and R8(D2,E2)

"I'm out of ammo, give me ammo"

20% pistol 30% PR

Just that, for about... 4 minutes.

half hornet
#

MountainMan mentioned it (i think? i'm half-deaf, so not sure) during E2.
Monsters took AWFUL long to break down doors for whatever reason, which lucked us out on a scan after secondary.

kind swan
#

Oh

#

You mean when they're banging on multiple doors

#

Only one door can be hit at one given instance and each sleeper is given a chance to hit a door iirc

crisp gyro
#

enemies can only hit one door at a time and sometimes they can alternate between 2 doors

kind swan
#

If the wave splits somewhat in half in 2 separate directions for different doors.

#

They'll actually take somewhat longer

#

If the door hitting is cycled back and forth

#

I've had this instance happen between 3 doors yesterday. I forgot what level. I just joined a pub and they took forever -

#

Nvm I remember now

#

It was R2C1. The class V.

#

The waves split across all 3 doors they can go to

crisp gyro
#

its even better when the doors are foamed

#

enjoy your 5 min tea break

kind swan
#

I only foamed the inner doors

#

But it was long enough to hold off for the entire class 5

#

Was funny

#

Triple door banging isn't easy to get consistently just due to spawn rng

GTFO just won't stop surprising me with silly unintuitive mechanics

#

Enemy swings at door > Door takes damage.
Why is it so hard...

kind swan
#

If it helps
(In the situation of only 1 door)
a single enemy will break a door just as fast as a full wave

half hornet
#

Actually yeah, now that i think about it...

#

They were stuck in a situation where either they would have to balance Door HP for either an entire wave or a singular guy

#

Which would either lead to waves breaking the door in a microsecond OR a singular guy would take 200 years to get through.

#

Frankly i would prefer the latter... Fuck that guy. Have fun, idiot.

I wonder how different the timelines can be

In one schaeffer is a maniac and in another he’s perfectly trusting of warden

#

But the prisoners seem completely unaffected

half hornet
#

Not sure about perfectly, but he's kinda of out of options

crisp gyro
#

thats because OG schaeffer killed the unit 22 immediately

#

alt schaeffer took his time to learn what it does

#

and spoke to it

#

also alt schaeffer was a KSO who broke his program

fallow wasp

Was that in a log or something?

||ALT schaeffer wants to escape the complex. OG schaeffer wants to blow it up, and does.

It is betrayal, but also it isn’t||

r8d2?

atomic escarp

what are the scan options for r8d2

solemn wigeon
atomic escarp
#

yuh

half hornet
#

Easy class 4 or 5 (don't remember) - no fog is removed, have fun.
Medium class 7 - most of the fog is removed, but not all. It will be knee high for the rest of main, until you drop in a certain hole where you will be head covered again.
Hardcore class 9 - 99% of the fog is removed, only slight vapours will remains, but this is the hardest alarm scan in the game as far as i'm concerned. Enemies are exclusively nightmares, with an RNG snatcher and a tank coming mid-way through.

late nebula
#

Easy, easy, not so easy are the options

atomic escarp
#

i need to try that hard scan sometime

half hornet
#

If you beat the class 9 - you've beaten the level pretty much. Just with a 40 minutes desync delay Kappa.

#

The key is utilising the kiting zone on the side that enemies otherwise never use for traversing.

prisma zodiac
#

or or

#

kill tank

#

tho tbh
man im not looking forward to any of that with my static

im not allowed to plan, call stuff out or similar. d4rkevBlank and they rly arent the planning type (which appearantly seems to be my fault d4rkevThink )

half hornet
#

Easier said then done.

#

And then the fucker just opens up more spawn slots for nightmares anyway.

#

So its like nothing changed.

#

Is it any wonder that my clear involved having staring contest with the guy and then lucking out on the best possible scan location.

keen rampart
#

The "hardcore" scan is pretty easy tbh.

It sounds much harder, but it isnt.

half hornet
#

Tell that to pubs, they can barely make it to the scan with more than 20 HP

keen rampart
#

Yeah THERE is the Problem...

#

Not the scan

half hornet
#

I still have no idea how i beat the scan first time

#

I didn't feel in control, i got revived at least once, one guy was just doing no-full-scans by himself while the rest were busy kiting and reviving.

#

I think someone had major +revival speed, so that probably helped as well... Or was that the wipe one?...

#

Either way we just... Sort of kind of survived... Somehow...

#

No idea how. No idea what i did differently besides bringing sniper rifle and nuking tank ASAP to the best of my ability.

#

And then we abandoned the run on extraction alarm because everyone was burned, tired and it was 4:AM

#

Should've get it done right then and there instead of another 10 wipes on the fucking niner

prisma zodiac
#

nop

#

its one of the harder ones

half hornet
#

The only time in the entire game where the tank is an actual threat.

atomic escarp
#

where else in the game do u have to fight tank on scans

vocal geode

heard many squad propose that strategy

#

#

People just forget

#

prisma zodiac
#

nuking tank with sniper... dw
only takes at least like 15 seconds (most likely way more)

#

the issues with cfoam grenades in pubs

  1. players panicking
  2. players not knowing how to throw grenades
  3. not communicating when they throw (no freeze with too much delay inbetween)
#

if you hit 2 its so free tho musicmommyOMEGALUL
scattergun wipes like 70% of its hp. another 2 players easily clean up

dont even rly need to worry about nightmares then

vocal geode
#

I mean you can just take 4 c-foam grenades from the foam storage section

#

incase you miss one or two

prisma zodiac
#

well yea
im not saying its actually "difficult" to hit

but theres multiple reason why it can easily fail in pubs

vocal geode
#

mfw pubs get as far as D2

#

nah basically all the people I played with in D2 were competent

prisma zodiac
#

moreso pubbing people looking for D2

#

the only real hurdle is B4

vocal geode
#

minus that one guy that told us to listen to him because he had 1000 hours

prisma zodiac
#

the biggest issue i had in B4 runs (when defending) is that cell grabbers are so god damn slow

yep, they gotta check out that hacklock which ends up being a medipack. And then decide if they want that or their 4 use ammo (which they didnt want to swap off)

#

like, just run in. Kill giants if they spawn
