hurray

#

death and tears await

#

I suppose there are always ways to improve a run. TBH I don't think I will do the run again too soon

hexed vapor
#

I think resources might no longer be static

#

I've had them vary per zone quite a bit from what I've played so far, specifically on the lower tiers where there's more loot in zones.

lyric hornet
#

I feel like every time I've done B1 the level does just throw healthpacks at you

#

I haven't really struggled on the ammo / tool front though, good positioning and baiting waves into chokes with open doors saves a bunch

atomic escarp
#

Were you guys always pinging resources in the zones you're in?

crisp vapor
#

Usually yes to maximize gain

atomic escarp
#

^

crisp vapor
#

But people arent patient enough to wait for someone to query/ping everything from a zone

#

Expecially if you play with randoms

#

I like doing the terminal stuff

atomic escarp
#

There's a fix for that

#

||PING AMMO/TOOL/MED THEN CLS|| ||DOUBLE TAP UP ON YOUR DIRECTIONAL KEYS THEN ENTER||

#

For quick pings

glass sundial
#

I just list resources for the zone, then ping one type at a time

#

While it's pinging one, I press up to reenter the same item, backspace 3x to clear the numbers, then enter the number for the second item

#

For listing all zones quickly basically the same thing

#

List resources for zone whatever, while it's listing, up, backspace, next zone number

formal elk
#

what is the best gun for killing the mama thing

mortal granite
#

shotgun/sniper

formal elk
#

thanks!

#

do you shoot it from behind

mortal granite
#

there is a big tumor

#

that's indicated as

#

PLEASE SHOOT HERE

hollow jay
#

does Hel rifle kill scouts in one shot like Sniper?

atomic escarp
#

on hs

hollow jay
#

yeah meant hs. Great thanks

mortal granite
#

sniper can shoot anywhere

formal elk
#

how many sniper shots does it take to kill the mama

mortal granite
#

don't know yet

mortal granite
#

about 9 shots

hexed vapor
#

Okay, so resources now can have different spawns per resource per zone.

#

For example, zone 13 can have:
4 or 2+2 ammo
5 or 4+2 med
5 or 4+2 disinfect

atomic escarp
#

Honestly when I first saw the brood mother I immediately thought it’s visible rib cage was its weak point

#

And I didn’t find out until Sunday that it wasn’t

#

I thought that the cysts it had on it was its armoured points because my team previously went around hammering em and shooting them to see what would happen and nothing did

mortal granite
#

they didn't pop?

atomic escarp
#

No not the green ones those still popped

#

I mean the ones that look like wombs and you can visibly see them move like there’s a child in there

hexed vapor
#

Had a game where players stopped taking damage.

#

"Wow, we found a glitch!"

#

Shut the fuck up, it's B1, not even a hard level and you're running a cheat?

atomic escarp
#

Is it me or does it seem like there’s been an increase of cheaters?

mortal granite
#

that's like

#

every game existence

ebon slate
#

as game gets more popular more members within said game will cheat at the game by nature of more people seeing the game

#

it also "helps" that hard game hard

mortal granite
#

hard game is hard

#

WELL

#

i would say

#

if hacker sell their cheat at 20$

#

they still gonna buy it

hexed vapor
#

Cheats were pretty prevalent early R2 as well, so it's not too surprising.

mortal granite
#

easy fix tho

#

the game have all the stats static

#

anything that is more value than the giving value then auto kick

ebon slate
#

I don't think the cheating is a huge deal, at least as long as it's not going to affect others, say for example if you wanted to try to learn more about a map you are struggling on (like R2E1) and so go in solo (with cheats) to learn the map and the objective and what is required at the ending

#

that means that when you play with a squad (without cheats) you have a better understanding of what to do

#

of course if you are with a squad and use cheats, you're an asshole

atomic escarp
#

how do people even encounter cheaters

knotty sphinx
#

I haven't encountered one since R1

atomic escarp
#

actually I did see someone in r1 that was bragging about how he could turn off recoil for the machinegun

knotty sphinx
#

Health went to like 4300% then I was like NOPE and left

atomic escarp
#

lol

#

thats a bit more blatant

knotty sphinx
#

There's also an instance where all meds, ammo and tool refills were permanent 5 use

atomic escarp
#

i mean meh to it, cheaters cant hurt the game for others since you can matchmake

#

and there's no rewards they get from cheating

#

beating levels does nothing for you other than be fun to do

knotty sphinx
#

True

atomic escarp
#

later when there's progression it might be more of a deal

ebon slate
#

it depends on what kind of progression

atomic escarp
#

but even then, it wont hurt anyone elses experience other than just devalue the image of someone who has progressed

#

yeah im not sure what progression will look like

#

i assume cosmetic

ebon slate
#

if it's just cosmetic, and you get a cosmetic by beating a level like 20 odd times

knotty sphinx
#

It would be interesting to see a cosmetic for solo players

ebon slate
#

i'd probably get bored after clearing it legit the 10th time over

knotty sphinx
#

But

#

Yeah

atomic escarp
#

im torn on cosmetics that are limited time obtainables

#

some part of me would be willing to cheat if necessary to make sure I can not miss out on something

#

but i havent been put in a position like that before

knotty sphinx
#

With R2, I just went as far as possible

#

I didn't get to finish

#

But oh well

atomic escarp
#

right but you werent punished by missing out on something other than bragging rights

#

if beating e1 gave you an exclusive hammer skin or something

ebon slate
#

if i ever do look into cheats, (which i haven't) i'd probably only use them with close friends or to play solo

knotty sphinx
#

E1 wasn't so bad when you had the basic idea

#

It's just keeping everybody else focused that was the problem

mortal granite
#

you can basically

ebon slate
#

but that's a personal restraint thing, i get how one bad apple would ruin it for everyone

atomic escarp
#

the only thing I can imagine using cheats for is ensuring obtainment of limited/event things

mortal granite
#

kite the entire E1 error wave away from 3 teammates

#

and let 3 teammates do the obj

knotty sphinx
#

We didn't kite on E1

#

We did the surge alarm

#

Then we held the extract

atomic escarp
#

ye i still hope for kiting to be reduced to a falling back but not being able to just circle enemies indefinitely

#

it feels broken

#

running through a horde of enemies without damage isn't fun gameplay

knotty sphinx
#

If you can never kite, then you can never solo

#

Those slow scans hurt enough as is

atomic escarp
#

right, but solo isn't balanced yet if it ever will be

knotty sphinx
#

It will never be geared for solo

atomic escarp
#

i dont think any mind should be paid to making solo players feel better

knotty sphinx
#

It's just "If you get it, you get it"

#

It should be hard, but not impossible

atomic escarp
#

i dont think it should be balanced at all

#

no effort should be put into ensuring solo play is possible at all

knotty sphinx
#

If they took out the ability to solo

#

I'd just quit

mortal granite
#

the thing is tho

atomic escarp
#

not taking out the ability to solo, but 0 effort should be put into balancing around it

mortal granite
#

if you mastered kiting

#

you can just enter any VC

#

any room

#

and kite

atomic escarp
#

this game is sold, marketed, and expected to be 4 player and balanced around it

#

anyone buying it for a solo experience is buying the wrong game

knotty sphinx
#

I didn't say I bought it for solo

#

But solo is a much easier experience than a fair chunk of public runs

atomic escarp
#

and that's broken lol

mortal granite
#

well you should expected that they gonna nerf solo in the game

knotty sphinx
#

I'm over 700 hours in now

#

I got my moneys worth

mortal granite
#

technically yes

knotty sphinx
#

But still

mortal granite
#

but they can push even more exciting content out

knotty sphinx
#

It's supposed to be "hardcore"

#

Solo feels hardcore

mortal granite
#

solo feel boring

knotty sphinx
#

We're two sides of a coin

#

I get a rush out of it

#

Only way it would be fun with 4 player lock

#

Would actually have a solid stable crew that plays enough

#

If somebody quits

#

Then I can't play because of it

mortal granite
#

that's on you

knotty sphinx
#

It's not on me

#

Because it's not my fault they quit

atomic escarp
#

ok

#

game is a 4 player hardcore game

#

its not a solo hardcore game

#

there's no reason they should get rid of solo

#

but making any design consideration or development effort towards solo is an offense to the game and its vision

knotty sphinx
#

I didn't say they should make any consideration to it

#

I just said I enjoy it

atomic escarp
#

right, sorry

#

I've argued this with much less rational people

knotty sphinx
#

It's extremely difficult to do as is

#

But that doesn't mean I feel it should be 100% survival rate for solo

#

If I make a mistake

#

I die

#

Then I rinse and repeat

atomic escarp
#

Right, I'm just referencing that if they nerfed kiting you'd quit since you couldn't solo

knotty sphinx
#

What I'm saying is

#

If it gets locked purely to 4 players

#

Then I won't have a full crew

#

Which means I can't play

mortal granite
#

so

#

the vc

atomic escarp
#

i disagree with it being locked to 4

mortal granite
#

is basically useless

knotty sphinx
#

You can find fair public games

#

But a fair chunk have a hard time

mortal granite
#

well ye

#

that's the point

knotty sphinx
#

I'm used to playing with people that know what they are doing

#

So if it's a bad run

#

I get a little angry

atomic escarp
#

I'm curious how matchmaking will be, they're being careful about implementation

#

so it may be good at pairing experience levels together

#

I think that'll be a big answer to a lot of these concerns

mortal granite
#

it's gonna be the same as it is

atomic escarp
#

I mean the in-game version

mortal granite
#

well

#

discord is the same as mm

atomic escarp
#

right, but they're also developing an actual match making system

mortal granite
#

it's just that

#

if they make mm

#

then they don't have to used discord

#

but

knotty sphinx
#

Actual mm might become a mess

mortal granite
#

they don't really talk

atomic escarp
#

I know I wouldnt want to use in game matchmaking mainly cause I'd lose the ability to talk

wraith jackal
#

Hope they add proximity voice chat as an optional thing

mortal granite
#

having discord is like when i played warcraft back in the day

atomic escarp
#

hopefully there can be a setting for matchmaking to set preference for voice/text/any

#

And also i think it'll be a cess pool of cheaters and shitty teamates

knotty sphinx
#

discord reminds me of xfire

atomic escarp
#

well i mean once match-making is implemented, discord MM should only improve

#

this route wont dissapear

#

Yeah true as it is the discord VC are perfect as is no point going ahead and getting rid of it

mortal granite
#

what is the reason to NOT have discord?

knotty sphinx
#

People just don't like change

#

Having to use discord is change

atomic escarp
#

By my take is that the In-game matchmaking would more or less be a shitty time for most people looking to actually play without the use of discord

#

maybe, but in-game might be built to be more immersive

knotty sphinx
#

Hopefully it won't be L4D all over again. Filled with cheaters, griefers, etc

atomic escarp
#

^

#

But I get the feeling it will

#

Like a 95% it will

#

it'll really depend on how matchmaking works

#

if there's a rep system or whatnot

#

Given how long they've been at it

#

It'll be more than likely they've invented something akin to a rep system

#

from how they dev team has done so far I'm remaining optimistic

mortal granite
#

well

atomic escarp
#

Me I couldnt give to shits about an in-game match making I see no need when we've got this discord and if I can be perfectly honest Im guessing they're only doing this to appease the peeps who refuse to use discord

mortal granite
#

you can always go here for chat

#

and find teammate

#

and ask for advice

#

at the sametime

atomic escarp
#

I just focus on gameplay beyond all else

mortal granite
#

and you can CHOOSE teammate

atomic escarp
#

Yeah but there's folk out there that just flat out refuse to use discord

#

right, but discord isn't a good replacement for a proper ingame match making system

mortal granite
#

it's just excuses

atomic escarp
#

No Idea why but they just do

#

there's no integration from discord to GTFO

#

past just status of playing

#

theres no rep system

#

no statistics

#

discord is not a support system for a game, it's very much a communication platform

mortal granite
#

and it's still doing the job

#

fine

atomic escarp
#

GTFO can get a lot more out of a custom match making system than just communication

#

That I can agree with

mortal granite
#

i would like to see MM change SOMETHING

atomic escarp
#

Imagine if you could customise the level to ya liking

#

Matchmaking: Ticketing backend
Matchmaking: Menus
Matchmaking: Voice Chat
Matchmaking: Kick / Ban
Matchmaking: Server Migration
as the five marks on the roadmap for it

#

that'd be rad

#

Server migration is going to be awesome

#

imagine not losing the round if the host drops

#

Someone dropped out mid round, rather than having to hop in here and try to quickly LFG

#

you can just have someone searching for a game drop in

#

especially if it happens mid-alarm or such

glacial crescent
#

^

atomic escarp
#

this discord is duct tape compared to the potential of a full custom MM

#

but even when its released

#

no reason we cant still LFG on here

glacial crescent
#

Discord does let players build up a reputation

atomic escarp
#

right, but it's all word of mouth

#

Yeah The matchmaking seems pretty good with what they want to add in thats for sure

#

But I dunno something irks me about it still and it shouldnt seeing as how you've just proved they can dispell cheaters away with actual bans and not kicks

#

Yeah, there's a lot of ways things can go right, but I really do truly trust the devs and they've done nothing to falter that trust

#

Yeah with a 9 man team they've done everything with just enough flavour to pique my interest in this game further that most

#

We'll just have to wait and see how the MM works out and if it's a succuss or not

#

But yeah they'll more than likely have it perfected when it's out and about

wraith jackal
#

I'm more interested in the gear progression

crisp vapor
#

Me too

#

Discord works for now

glacial crescent
#

Real question is, what's everyone's favorite mission and why?

nocturne flax
#

make a survey

mortal granite
#

D1

hexed vapor
#

@glacial crescent R3 only or across all?

glacial crescent
#

🤔 R3 for now

hexed vapor
#

C1. It's a stealth-heavy level that managed to be fairly difficult, and I like stealth against chargers even if they're not hard to kill. The class error alarm against chargers are also fun since they're design affects how different weapon choices perform against them.

mortal granite
#

instantly pick sniper because they killed them 1 shot

hexed vapor
#

Low ammo, though

mortal granite
#

do hel rifle 1 shot charger?

hexed vapor
#

No, 2 shot

mortal granite
#

front

nocturne flax
#

2 SHOT

mortal granite
#

ok

#

bad gun

#

sniper

nocturne flax
#

can hit the charger from behind tho

mortal granite
#

they spawn 2 - 3 charger anyway

nocturne flax
#

i mean goes trought the charger

mortal granite
#

so sniper is the perfect gun to deal with them

hexed vapor
#

I've been more a fan of mixing shotguns with carbine or SMG

mortal granite
#

shotgun

#

1 shot too

#

i'm just gonna use shotgun/sniper

lilac jackal
#

wow all the big boy iconic players typing at once here. truly a sight to see

glacial crescent
#

lol

willow coral
#

@atomic escarp yeah we got some nice plans for the migration for sure!

obtuse surge
#

i like B1 a lot

#

map looks really cool

#

good mix of stealth & alarms/uplinks

willow coral
#

and yeah for sure that Discord will stay along side of MM

atomic escarp
#

i like B1 a lot
@obtuse surge
Top 5 expeditions that one was. I loved how it was a mix of everything. I'm wondering what a lab hybrid expedition would like?

willow coral
#

R3B1?

crisp vapor
#

R3B1 is nice

#

But sometimes painfully long especially if you bad scout rng

#

and you want to conserve your precious ammo/sentry

atomic escarp
#

you want long

#

You should've seen R2C1

crisp vapor
#

i wished i could

#

a lot of people talk about R2 and I'm a bit sad I cannot experience those levels

willow coral
#

R1C2 was looong as well

crisp vapor
#

oh yes rub R1 in my face as well

#

:))

willow coral
#

not to rub it in Mid

#

hahah

hexed vapor
#

Tbf, it's a lot shorter given the average skill level now.

crisp vapor
#

I know I know :))

atomic escarp
#

r1d1 was very memorable, the layout is still ingrained in my head

hexed vapor
#

I liked R1D1 for its high-difficulty stealth.

#

Sure, only two scouts

#

but if either of those alerted, you were fucked, the rooms were so big.

#

Same with the side paths, so many enemies.

atomic escarp
#

yup, nonstop risk assessment

#

man I have nearly all the layouts Except R2B3 stuck in my head

#

It's just so memeorable to me for some reason yet I cant even remember if I put my car keys in my pocket or not

willow coral
#

haha

#

it's all a blur for me

#

maybe since I've made like 1/3 of them maps thou

atomic escarp
#

I've been gaming since early childhood so I guess memorisation of games is like breathing manually for me

willow coral
#

same, but I've also lost some braincells due to sleep deprivation releasing GTFO 😉

#

so I'm not as bright as I used to be

atomic escarp
#

Pretty sure I rotted all my brain cells at the age of ten

#

Dead rising 2 was awesome back then man

mighty pond
#

Real question is, what's everyone's favorite mission and why?
R3D1 hands down is my favorite level they've created to date. I absolutely love the rush you get into the feel of moving about with the constant alarm waves and pushing forward into the objective and then suddenly it just.. goes away. The level becomes "normal" again. The fights are enjoyable and attempting to stealth 393 is enthralling. I very much enjoy the lab tile set and wished there was more of it in the rundown, so that probably also factors into my love of the level as well. Lastly, the hunt for all the colored plants.

hexed vapor
#

^ While it's not really my thing, R3D1 is a very good level.

mighty pond
#

I'm excited for when my group starts to speed run it lol

atomic escarp
#

R3D1 although still not as hard as E1, it's like the predecessor of E1 and is just much better gameplay design.

nocturne flax
#

thats why its in the D section

mighty pond
#

The only major gripe I have is how the spawns work in D1, cause having a big spawn on you and basically insta-down you sorta sucks

hexed vapor
#

Lmfao, every time

nocturne flax
#

eh same thing kind of happens with ||chargers|| on c1

mighty pond
#

I at least haven't experienced that. Those are just fast moving and hit quickly

hexed vapor
#

To some extent it depends on the spacing of the players and the available space.

#

Spawns get really bad if you're just in 388

mighty pond
#

Yea, especially if you're in all of the portions of the zone

smoky dove
#

You know what i find

#

All guns have like a range where they don't perform so hot

#

ADS is good for long range, hip fire good for point blank

#

but there's a distance between 4 - 7 metres where sleepers like to hang around and it's hard to ADS or hipfire them

#

Wish I could increase the contrast of the aiming reticule, sometimes i feel like i'm aiming hudles

obtuse surge
#

liked R2C2 more than R3D1

hexed vapor
#

I think R3's take on it is a bit refreshing since the changes to kiting and the titan spawns mean it's more geared towards utilizing guns and moving quickly to save ammo, as opposed to taking it slow and hammering as much as possible.

obtuse surge
#

which sucks because my nice weapons are gone

atomic escarp
#

RIP MG, MP, BR

pseudo pumice
#

gone too soon 😔✊

lilac jackal
#

every day without mg is a day closer to death

pseudo pumice
#

quite literally

atomic escarp
#

Does the hel rifle's penetration deal less and less every time the bullet penetrates a sleeper

lilac jackal
#

quite literally
you just made me realize how stupid my original statement was lmaoo

slow steppe
#

out of clearning all of R2 and R3, I still really love R2C2. I'd like to see a harder version of it in the future.

atomic escarp
#

How bout' more sleepers spawned per wave but 1 minute per spawn?

#

hmm

exotic crow
#

if you leave a scout in the area alone and activate an alarm door, will it get aggro'd with everything else?

#

particularly I'm wondering if I can just ignore the 2 scouts in B1. Because we keep messing up the kills on those and wasting SO much ammo

mortal granite
#

you can leave it alone

#

if the scout are at least 2 room away

#

but anyway

exotic crow
#

there's a scout pretty close to one of the terminals you have to defend. :/

mortal granite
#

when you turn the alarm on

#

and then you shoot

#

the scout gonna be alarm

#

but the alarm already spawn the wave and cap the enemies

#

you can just fight them off while scanning anyway

exotic crow
#

oh, so the scout won't actually spawn more enemies with the wave if you aggro it during an alarm sequence?

mortal granite
#

no

#

they will

#

save the wave for later

#

or at least

#

spawn half of the wave the scout can spawn

#

and when you finish the alarm

#

it spawn the other half

exotic crow
#

so definitely better to just try to stealth kill the scout.

#

or even blow it TF up so you don't have to deal with it.

mortal granite
#

ye

exotic crow
#

gr8

royal crow
#

You can just one shot the scout with a sniper shot to the head

atomic escarp
#

If you've unlocked C1 you can do alot of practice killing scouts

#

But for now just shoot it point blank with the pump shotty

#

On it's head ofc

royal crow
#

I recommend shooting him with a sniper at a much safer distance

mortal granite
#

sniper can kill scout at any part on the body

royal crow
#

i honestly dont know... but i know for sure that its one shot to the head

atomic escarp
#

With the buff to the sniper it can but previously no

royal crow
#

thats good to know

atomic escarp
#

Head is pretty easy to spot since its massive compared to the rest of it's body

mortal granite
#

but if they're kneeling down

#

that become obnoxious

royal crow
#

but yeah, always try to do it stealthy... it's not that difficult once you get enough practice

#

follow the scout getting behind cover and when he walks his way back just full charge melee and rush him

#

that works for me

#

but wait for her to be close enough

atomic escarp
#

Best case scenario is when the scout is walking towards you

royal crow
#

yup

#

once you kill 2 or 3 scouts you'll do it pretty easily

atomic escarp
#

Back then it was like 40 before I got the hang of it

#

Thanks R1D1

royal crow
#

so fk true

obtuse surge
#

would've been nice if we had a level like R2C2 but moved to D tier, with sleepers and scouts in rooms

atomic escarp
#

Maybe next rundown

lilac jackal
#

that would be so fun for scout practice

#

you’d need to be a speedy boy or else a wave would spawn and alert it

slow steppe
#

like the old r2b2 with the final generator room with like 4-5 scouts. that was cool

atomic escarp
#

Most fun multi scout room to date

slow steppe
#

what is the best scout practice map now in r3

atomic escarp
#

C1

#

2 unalarmed doors to open that has scouts

#

B1 is next I think

glass sundial
#

Scouts are significantly less prominent this rundown

atomic escarp
#

True

lilac jackal
#

BLENDER MY CANE SUGGESTION GOT REMOVED LMAOO

atomic escarp
#

F

lilac jackal
#

i’m telling you man, they’re after me Scout

zenith crystal
#

You know to much

atomic escarp
#

I mean how you phrased the suggestion is questionable

lilac jackal
#

ya got me there

atomic escarp
#

That might have a part in why it got removed

lilac jackal
#

but i’m surprised no mods messaged me about it

atomic escarp
#

As much killing as we do this community does not condone child abuse

glass sundial
#

R2A1 had 3 scouts, B1 had 1, B2 had 8, B3 had at least 1? B4 I don't think had any, maybe one. C1 was an infestation of scouts, D1 had 18+ scouts, D2 had 7, E1 had a least 4 on the main route, up to at 7+ more

atomic escarp
#

A message is probably incoming

lilac jackal
#

haha yeah i’m gonna get screwed over. if yall never see me again, you know why

#

i meant the baby sleepers doe

glass sundial
#

I hope R4 has a few more, or even a new scout type enemy deepthought

atomic escarp
#

A scout that spawns chargers when?

slow steppe
#

yeah we need more scoutties

glass sundial
#

Spiky scout boi

atomic escarp
#

^

glass sundial
#

Runs up and punches you instead of shooting

lilac jackal
#

2 full melee charges to kill

glass sundial
#

Get decked by a scout gg

zenith crystal
#

i need Flying scout

atomic escarp
#

Pls no

slow steppe
#

dude a scout that required 2 ppl to coordinate headshot would be sick

#

or how about all 4

lilac jackal
#

b r u h

atomic escarp
#

Healthier scout? Sniper

lilac jackal
#

i would cry if that was a thing

atomic escarp
#

hotel? trivago

slow steppe
#

would force more people to work on scouts rather than allowing 1 person to just carry

#

which is what easily happens

atomic escarp
#

^

#

I need to do less room clear to make up for carrying the scout kills

lilac jackal
#

*one person to try and carry but they mess up every time and say “nah i got it this time guys it’s redemption time” and they never redeem themselves

atomic escarp
#

^ me at carrying R1A1 with new players

slow steppe
#

i'm an honest scout killer. 100% of the time i'm gonna say I'll kill it 80% of the time

lilac jackal
#

they don’t know the difference, you’re in the clear PirateSimon

#

i maybe kill 40% of the scouts i go for. i really need practice

atomic escarp
#

I had like 50% success rate, now its 51%

#

in R2

slow steppe
#

i used to sit back and always let people do it, whether they fail or not, then decided maybe i should just work on it, so i started tracking

#

i average 76-80%

atomic escarp
#

R1 was when I started to try killing scouts, 1st time I killed one.

#

ADDICTING

lilac jackal
#

it really is lmao

atomic escarp
#

Too much adrenaline TBH

lilac jackal
#

you feel like such a badass when ya actually kill it

atomic escarp
#

A friend actually called me scout slayer

#

like BRUH

#

no

lilac jackal
#

bro

atomic escarp
#

don't

lilac jackal
#

i w i s h

atomic escarp
#

belittle me

lilac jackal
#

you’re gonna get an ego

atomic escarp
#

Calling myself a piece of shit keeps my ego in check

lilac jackal
#

funk you

#

there you go

slow steppe
#

lol nice

atomic escarp
#

Cause when one person calls me good at the game I FAIL killing the scout

lilac jackal
#

your daily ego dropper

slow steppe
#

when you get a slick scout kill ofc you do feel like a pro. then later in the map you fail an easy one

atomic escarp
#

True

lilac jackal
#

feelsbad

atomic escarp
#

Calling myself a piece of shit keeps my ego in check
this also helps me get thiccer skin since I do it worse than others

#

Someone calls me an idiot, I reply with "NO SHIT SHERLOCK"

mighty pond
#

Runs up and punches you instead of shooting
@glass sundial lol

glass sundial
#

When I switch into autopilot mode and kill a scout I just say "scout's dead" the same way I would've said "the striker's dead" and people are like, "wait, what?"

atomic escarp
#

^

glass sundial
#

Other times I forget to even mention it's dead, then 30 seconds later someone says "where's the scout"

#

"Oh, it's been dead"

atomic escarp
#

They don't hear the character you play as say its dead?

#

Dang

glass sundial
#

Randoms often don't way attention to things that aren't in their face

atomic escarp
#

I guess so

glass sundial
#

I'm almost always aware of where my allies are, so I can tell which sections are safe(ish) and where I still need to go clear out

#

Most people pay more attention to the 2 strikers in front of them

#

I just have a bit more of a tactical approach I guess

#

Head on approach works great in things like COD, no so much in a hardcore stealth strategy game

atomic escarp
#

I always autopilot when clearing rooms unless my team talks a lot

#

those times I actually pay attention to listening to sleepers

glass sundial
#

Same usually

#

The only time I switch to manual mode is when I'm about to kill a cluster of 5+

#

I've been accused of being lucky a lot Scout

atomic escarp
#

Damn, here I am only pulling off a triplekill

#

Yeah, It do be like that

glass sundial
#

You'll get there

#

You could always watch how other people kill large groups alone

atomic escarp
#

I know about occiput kills

glass sundial
#

Not many players I've encountered are willing to go for 2. Even less 3. Very few go for 4+

atomic escarp
#

I just haven't been able to execute it properly

glass sundial
#

It's easier on a higher FOV for sure

atomic escarp
#

I guess so

glass sundial
#

You also have to recognize when the crowd is not alerted and just wait

#

That's honestly probably the hardest part

#

It's easy to think you screwed up then just start rushing kills when in actuality you were fine

#

It's also easy to have allies do that as well

atomic escarp
#

I've played with newer players not too long ago, where they do bad shit like hitting the ground or shooting when one is alerted

#

then they thank me for teaching them when in reality I let that happen to them

#

I just explain after the mess had been cleared

slow steppe
#

damn dude 4-5 solo kills. i don't think i've ever tried more than 3 at once

#

i always found people are more grateful to be taught stuff than carried because they know it will help them improve

modest pine
#

burstcannon or shotgun for DPS on bigmomma

slow steppe
#

shottys are nice

somber ocean
#

If you're more experienced than the other players in your lobby, definitely let them attempt scouts or multi-kills.
You're not helping them by carrying that, they will just need to be carried harder in deeper tiers

slow steppe
#

fair point

lilac jackal
#

many experienced players don’t have the patience for that stuff. they just want to do their “charity work” helping the newbies progress through the tiers by absolutely carrying. bless the experienced players who help out new players legitimately instead of just sweeping and not saying a word

somber ocean
#

True, or they just like to be the hero (who does not?) ,)

lilac jackal
#

i feel that lmao, but people are always a lot more appreciative if you help them anyways

#

your statement about multikills is definitely important, i don’t see newer players learning how until they’re forced to

https://forms.gle/UxQ6hVLwE7GdHD8s8 Hello everyone, this is a survey which is linked with the weapons of Rundown 3. If you are interested please feel free to participate (this survey is approved by the mods and it will only appear twice on this channel only)

cursive idol
#

gotchu

glass sundial
#

If the machine gun were listed, I'd have a lot to say

tribal cosmos
#

yea sad face but its more about the rundown 3

lilac jackal
#

good or bad? curious

glass sundial
#

Best at dealing with waves, best at brute forcing security scans, best at holding your ground, best at avoiding damage taken via stagger, best at killing giants across all ranges, best resource efficiency...

tribal cosmos
#

basically yea

glass sundial
#

lol

lilac jackal
#

rip mg 2020 facepalm

glass sundial
#

Uncontested the best weapon in the game don't @ me

atomic escarp
#

got em

glass sundial
#

Oh, and you can kill scouts with it from stealth

atomic escarp
#

Hehe

glass sundial
#

I'll let it slide this time

atomic escarp
#

I haven't been successful in killing scout with MG

lilac jackal
#

damn, i don’t wanna know what will happen next time

glass sundial
#

It's not recommended but it can be done lol

#

Probably only as host due to latency though

atomic escarp
#

No just like testing it out in C1 not with a group

glass sundial
#

I hope R4 has a heavily toned down version of the mg returning

#

Ideally the same stats or less recoil, but in terms of nerfing it really needs less ammo

atomic escarp
#

40 in a mag

#

120 if 100% excluding the mag in the gun itself

glass sundial
#

A weapon with the most control over the smallest percentage of ammo used should not also have the most efficient use of ammo per kit

#

I think it should go from 50/176 > 40/120

#

It could still kill a giant with 1 mag this way as it did before

#

But it wouldn't be quite as long lasting against hordes. Meanwhile, your reserves are very low compared to before

atomic escarp
#

In the front?

glass sundial
#

Yeah

atomic escarp
#

Ah

glass sundial
#

40 in the front would kill them consistently

#

From stealth w/hammer to the back of their head first, it only needed 10

#

Refills would drop from 69/70 per use down to 48/49* per use

#

You'd seriously need to be more careful and efficient with it this way

#

Because in its most recent state, it did all the efficiency for you

#

fixed numbers

#

big brain skill

atomic escarp
#

People who were not used to MG hated it since it was basically a high recoil flashbang

glass sundial
#

It would still hold all the roles and titles it had before. But now you can't just crutch on it

atomic escarp
#

to the person using it

#

It would still hold all the roles and titles it had before. But now you can't just crutch on it
this

glass sundial
#

Yeah the muzzle flash was a bit harsh. Higher fov helped with that probably

atomic escarp
#

Single fire with MG needed more control

#

but when you can do it

glass sundial
#

It was a monster

#

90% of the time it was best to fire in bursts of less than 10 rounds due to recoil

atomic escarp
#

Most efficient per ammopack

glass sundial
#

The only time you just unload is during a post-error alarm surge cleanup or a giant

#

Or at 8% hp lol

atomic escarp
#

Lol

mossy yoke
#

FYI the survey by Spire was in fact approved by us mods.

glass sundial
#

DOC! Snatch us a nerfed machine gun for R4 Rlegsy

atomic escarp
#

Or panic shooting an invulnerable scout

#

Nice

glass sundial
#

We will all love you forever

#

Except the people who are still sleeping on it

#

That's always the best

#

I can still stop it from alerting the room

#

then it absorbs your c-foam grenade

mossy yoke
#

R4 you get bonkbonk

atomic escarp
#

Y E S

glass sundial
#

mallet skins confirmed by a mod

#

Where's my green and pink mallet?

atomic escarp
#

Been waiting for more hammers/hammer skins for months

#

If new hammer/skins is what D0c is implying

glass sundial
#

Pretty sure he was just referring to having bonking weapons

#

lol

atomic escarp
#

Hmm

glass sundial
#

"Expeditions with layered difficulty"
"Player character customization"

#

These are listed on the roadmap as in-development

#

That doesn't mean they will be in R4, of course, but it suggests it's one of the next upcoming features

#

If I had to make a completely biased guess based on how much I want these features, they will arrive tomorrow by Rundown 6

#

If they are sooner, that would be awesome. If later, that's fine too glowstick

atomic escarp
#

I hope by layered diff it means like shutting down a reactor to open another door to get HSU

#

That will be fun and long

glass sundial
#

No official confirmation of any details as to what exactly that means. Either way, using the term "layered" suggests more depth which is always good for games to have

mossy yoke
#

i'm referring to joking about a nerf looking squeaky toy

glass sundial
#

I would use it if it were a mallet skin

#

Sleepers are about to get bonked

fast slate
#

D1

#

oh boy

#

spawn on top of ye

#

but doable with insane coordination

atomic escarp
#

Layered difficulty, maybe means that there will be degrees of completion moving forward.

#

It kind of exists already in the sense of finding and reading logs

#

(to a minor degree)

#

optional and non-required, but is closer to the "100%" completion of a level

#

doing so risks time and resources

craggy summit
#

Or maybe it refers to different possible paths you can take to finish the mission.

#

Some are harder and some are easier, it all depends on which path you want to go down

atomic escarp
#

Ooh, fair - especially if some tailor to different playstyles

#

Longer route with more stealth versus shorter with more alarms

craggy summit
#

Though this wouldn't make a lot of sense with the lack of rewards for taking harder paths

#

So maybe they would do something like this when progression is added

#

So harder routes give you bigger rewards

#

That's what I think

atomic escarp
#

I mean even before progression you can do things like put logs on the harder paths

craggy summit
#

True, plus some people just want a challenge so they got that

atomic escarp
#

I'd love to see a portal 2 style "Split room" someday, that would require either a 2-2 or 3-1 split

#

Security doors with terminal codes alternating on both sides of a large room with a glass divider or whatnot

slow steppe
#

there was a suggestion at one point to have 4 player split spawn and they gotta solo fight to get back together

#

60% cfoam can fully freeze the D1 boss for an op experience

#

if you are lucky to be carrying a cfoam launcher and 2 people with a nade

atomic escarp
#

Sushi, your PFP is the best.

pastel ice
#

Imagine there being a blank terminal where you need some coding knowledge to unlock it's secrets. : )))

atomic escarp
#

thanks oz mikuloves

#

and yeah I'd love to do some bash scripting on these terminals lol but that's probably far far too unnecessarily complicated for this game

turbid cliff
#

any genius ideas for the first scan on B2 for a duo

atomic escarp
#

room has a lot of verticality, im assuming you're doing the left side with the fog repeller and cell

#

yup mines

#

they choke up pretty hard on the staircase down

#

to the security door

mighty pond
#

What set up are you thinking about Storm?

atomic escarp
#

oo, been a minute since I ran into an enemy hiding inside a wall

#

and then I run into it while messing around on a1 haha

#

shooter sneaking into a wall and sniping me from it 😠

#

at least he left and let me shoot him after i hid around a corner

sterile cargo
#

Do we know what happened to the child at the end?

#

I havent seen everything of the last level, but after its awake, does something more happen?

#

And thats all?

#

Oh

#

Maybe more about it in the next rundown?

deft hornet
#

hey is anyone finding that the hell wepons pierce the armor on chargers? am i just imagining it?

frank mauve
#

anyone else having a problem with the waves not stopping after you put the baby in during D1?

forest horizon
#

D1 is super buggy right now

#

You really can't do anything except pray it doesn't fuck you over rn

slow steppe
#

the bugs kinda make it more fun due to the challenge

atomic escarp
#

huh, I haven't run into any d1 bugs somehow, what are people getting?

forest horizon
#

The first time I did it nothing happened

atomic escarp
#

Why tho

forest horizon
#

Second time, 3 birthers

turbid cliff
#

What set up are you thinking about Storm?
@mighty pond none yet, we just completed B1 and went in to check out what B2 looks like. Didn't expect to see an alarm so close that sleepers don't even have anywhere to spawn 2 rooms away

atomic escarp
#

F

turbid cliff
#

and the room is horrible for running around and for a scan with the huge fog area, jfc

obtuse surge
#

you kind of just have to gun

turbid cliff
#

the improved enemy ai or whatever makes them lick our asses the whole time doesn't help

forest horizon
#

which is apparently a bug?

turbid cliff
#

nobody knows anymore

forest horizon
#

doesn't seem like it

turbid cliff
#

might not be a bug

mighty pond
#

If it helps you with ideas, AI for those doors spawns enemies ||in spawn||

turbid cliff
#

yeah we noticed

forest horizon
#

I just say that cause I saw lud saying its not intentional

turbid cliff
#

yeah i know

#

i tried looking into it and can't really find any evidence

obtuse surge
#

we just put 1 sentry at spawn

mighty pond
#

I think for duo personally.. shotgun sentry/mine deployer

obtuse surge
#

or a sentry aiming at the stairs on the left side

mighty pond
#

Yep, I usually do that myself as well

turbid cliff
#

yeah tried it but killing overall doesn't seem ideal

mighty pond
#

bio would be nice maybe for later portions of the level, but outside that I don't see a huge need for it

turbid cliff
#

just gets the game to pump more out faster

mighty pond
#

It's not a great room to kite either honestly

turbid cliff
#

indeed

obtuse surge
#

xD

#

the enemies have ladders in there

#

that you can't use

mighty pond
#

Mhmm

turbid cliff
#

and with the scan split the whole wave would probably go after one of us

#

we cleared A3 but i don't think either of us can take a wave standing

obtuse surge
#

you could try a second sentry

#

so there'll be less coming through

mighty pond
#

Maybe that's what you do then, just have one person kite a majority of the enemies while the other does scans while dealing with the remaining minority

#

You could always use a second sentry yea

obtuse surge
#

mines aren't that great on B2 anyway

mighty pond
#

Mines as a duo would be helpful when trying to deal with rooms if you aggro

#

Just bunching on doors and removing large amounts with little resource use

#

Outside that I can agree with not much of a purpose

tired frost
#

Dont you love when you make it 90% through C1 and then you crash and you're the host.

mighty pond
#

F

atomic escarp
#

F

turbid cliff
#

we got through all of R1, R2 A-C and D1, R3 A and B1 so far, i'd like to think we're pretty experienced in duo

#

but there wasn't such a case where we had no space to work with yet

obtuse surge
#

well yeah

tame sorrel
#

F

obtuse surge
#

with the improved ai

#

a limited group will struggle more

mighty pond
#

Fair, then I'm sure you could manage with double sentry

obtuse surge
#

as you'd usually run

mighty pond
#

double sentry typically will leave maybe 4 going through

turbid cliff
#

won't the game just spawn more instantly

sterile cargo
#

Does anyone know when next rundown begins?

turbid cliff
#

no date yet

obtuse surge
#

No

tired frost
#

New thingy is in B2 aswell right?

sterile cargo
#

ok

mighty pond
#

Not exactly instant, but it's quick yes

obtuse surge
#

It'll take a bit

tired frost
#

I forgot if it was B1 or B2

obtuse surge
#

it's B2

tired frost
#

aight ty

forest horizon
#

B2 is where you find ||omega karen||

atomic escarp
#

2 months might be early

#

new enemy types drop in b2 and d1, throwback in c1.

tired frost
#

Lmao

turbid cliff
#

early?

tired frost
#

This rundown was kinda short so probably sooner than later

sterile cargo
#

what is special with the Class III alarm doors?

tired frost
#

they go for longer i think

turbid cliff
#

nothing

mighty pond
#

Just fancy talk for three scans required

tired frost
#

Yea

turbid cliff
#

it's just there cuz the map designer knew he was being a dick

sterile cargo
#

Oh ok thanks

turbid cliff
#

R2-R3 was 2 months ~2 weeks wasn't it

atomic escarp
#

I feel like something is different about them, but im not sure 100%

#

because normal alarms without class go from 2-5

forest horizon
#

Its just 3 scans, but the most annoying 3 scan alarm to date imo

mighty pond
#

That can be checked via #patch-notes I'd think, or even just the announcements

#

The length between R2 and R3

turbid cliff
#

there haven't been a lot of class 3 alarms in the game but yes this takes the cake by far

#

worse than a normal class 4

#

03-31 06-11

mighty pond
#

Yes, simply due to the constraint of space in all regards

turbid cliff
#

2 full months 11 days-ish

#

and the fact that they spawn 20 meters away from you

mighty pond
#

Yep

sterile cargo
#

What happens in C1 again?

#

WHen is the special thingy happening?

turbid cliff
#

"special thingy"?

mighty pond
#

I'm not sure what you mean by special thingy

sterile cargo
#

Idk, just heard that there is a special encounter or something that happens in C1

mighty pond
#

Nah

#

Not really

turbid cliff
#

get to it and find out GWjiangoPepeGenius

atomic escarp
#

Not special if you've been here since R1

mighty pond
#

^

woeful lintel
#

could be the sound after you open zone 18 door

sterile cargo
#

Oh ok

forest horizon
#

the loud

woeful lintel
#

that loud

mighty pond
#

Storm I'll have a buddy hop on later and we'll see if we can figure something out that works nicely for B2 first door if you don't figure it out by then

atomic escarp
#

How you know when you're there literally screams at you

turbid cliff
#

worst case scenario was always kiting

#

which happens a lot in duo

#

but might have to use some 200iq skips here

#

i did manage to complete the scans, just died right afterwards

#

and we only gave it 2 tries anyway since we were tired after B1

mighty pond
#

Fair

turbid cliff
#

i would appreciate the information though since this is a unique scenario

atomic escarp
#

it was just a desynced giant with a super long attack

#

😛

crisp vapor
#

Best way to deal with first karen? Got hit with the "want to talk to the manager" twice in a row and it get annoying

atomic escarp
#

I reckon bring a cfoam to freeze then just bring down the lead on it

#

If you do a full charge and all of it hits it should freeze

crisp vapor
#

Somehow for us, even after we did that it spawned offsprings

#

Even worse we pumped everything in the face and it seemed like it took barely any dmg :))

atomic escarp
#

Oh

#

See that’s where ya doing it wrong

#

You know all those blobs that aren’t pods that explode

pastel ice
#

Lol blow off all of the tumors first.

atomic escarp
#

That’s it’s weak points

#

Stupid I know

crisp vapor
#

The ground blobs?

#

Rly?

atomic escarp
#

Yep

crisp vapor
#

Wtf never thought of that :))))

atomic escarp
#

I thought the same thing as you first hitting it on it’s ribcage

pastel ice
#

Each tumor was it's own health and is only a temporary crit spot.

crisp vapor
#

So freeze karen then blow the blobs?

atomic escarp
#

All it takes

pastel ice
#

Suggestion, bring some guns that pack a punch.

atomic escarp
#

Machine guns and shotguns will ground it to a pulp

crisp vapor
#

So we dont even have to shoot it? Just ghe tumours?

pastel ice
#

Tumors first.

crisp vapor
#

I'm just confused how the mechanic works :))

atomic escarp
#

Just the Tumors my guy

crisp vapor
#

Got it i assume

pastel ice
#

Tumors are it's temp crit spot.

#

And only crit spot.

#

Doesn't matter where you are facing to shoot them but at least be close for maximum damage...unless you have sniper.

crisp vapor
#

I understand now

#

Damn there is like 0 indication that those are the spots:))

#

I mean they are not even connected to it

#

the big blobs on a birther's back?

https://forms.gle/xGbdDKqsGJy14Tc57 Hello everyone! i am currently conducting a survey about the Rundown 3 weapons. Please feel free to participate (this survey is approved by the mods, this will be the last time i am posting this <@&408548765599793173> )

mossy yoke
#

This has been mod approved

dusky sluice
#

r3b2 being the alpha mission is pleasing to me for some reason

mossy yoke
#

you mean R3C1?

dusky sluice
#

c1 sorry

#

but no its nice seeing this mission again

mossy yoke
light totem
#

Rip

#

It gives the same mood as B4 but less cancer

mossy yoke
#

how many b2 runs have you done warden?

#

have you ever seen 2 birthers spawn in b2 specifically

light totem
#

Oh no. Not this bug again

glass sierra
#

D0c fishing for logs

#

also, it seems like it’s a different way of spawning the birther each time

light totem
#

@mossy yoke once in B2 yeah. Thankfully we were just doing some weapon testing. Not for completion

mossy yoke
#

*increase birther spawn rate, now 7 spawn every 7 seconds

glass sierra
#

Like, one spawns it loud & in b2 it’s more of a setup map spawn

mossy yoke
#

did you notice if both had different health amounts, like did one die easier than the other

light totem
#

Yeah. The first one died much faster than the second

#

We had to unload everything we had into the second

#

Not to mention the increased bb spawn

tender flower
#

Does anyone else have multiple Mothers spawn in D1 after you stop the alarm? had 3 in the last game I did? but I see in other vods that its usually only one?

#

Am I doing something wrong?

light totem
#

No

glass sierra
#

It’s meant to be one

light totem
#

I actually like it, even tho it is a glitch

glass sierra
#

devs probably lookin to fix it anyway

light totem
#

😢

tender flower
#

Thanks

#

Was about to say its some BS lmao

regal harbor
#

Do we have any D1 strat guides up?

light totem
#

Hmm, not sure. There still aren’t a ton of completed yet

regal harbor
#

ah

#

my team's working on it rn

light totem
#

Oof. GL

timid gale
#

oh boy

#

a super easy cheese spot for A1, if youve played Kino on Bo1 zombies and remember the ledge glitch. literally do the exact same thing.

formal elk
#

hey guys what do you think is better the dmr or rifle

atomic escarp
#

DMR if you have godlike aim

formal elk
#

what do you guys like to rock with the dmr for a secondary

atomic escarp
#

Something with close range, idealy a shotty

hexed vapor
#

@formal elk Rifle is better. DMR is only better as a support weapon where you weaken enemies for teammates and kill shooters.

split knoll
#

Rifle does about 8.8/8.9 damage, DMR does 13.2. The DMR one-shots little shooters in the head, takes one in the head and one body for little strikers (5 body shots for shooters, 4 for strikers). Rifle takes a headshot + body shot for shooters, headshot plus 2 body shots for strikers (7 and 5 body shots, respectively). Purely based on damage against little enemies, the DMR seems like the better choice.

#

When it comes to ammo efficiency, assuming you hit every shot, you can kill 1 or 2 more enemies per magazine, and 1 or 2 more per refill with the DMR.

#

That is assuming you hit one headshot for each enemy, but holds true for ranged, melee, or a mixture of both. The benefit will still be there, but less pronounced, if you miss or hit mostly body shots.

#

Feel free to point out if I got something wrong there, could be I messed up the math. (it's a bit weird, because the rifle actually can do more damage per refill, but because of how the numbers work out it's more efficient for the little dudes).

#

My favorite combo is bullpup/combat shotgun. SMG is a good stand-in, but other guns are definitely good in a squat. Carbine isn't great at spraying, but it has great total damage potential. HEL gun/rifle is good in A1 for those looong catwalks.

@split knoll Heads can still be shot after they're blown off, which allows rifle to two-shot strikers.

split knoll
#

Any insight on where the head hitbox is after the head's gone? Targeting the neck hasn't been reliable for me, so my numbers are assuming all headshots on ranged, 1 headshot plus body shots for melee.

lost obsidian
#

it doesnt go away?

split knoll
#

No, you can sometimes still get a headshot after the head is gone, but I haven't figured out a clear target for it yet. @hexed vapor has way more time in game than I though.

pastel ice
#

The head hitbox is still there in the exact same spot....

#

It doesn't move or decrease in size. It will only disappear when the mob is dead.

split knoll
#

-_- somehow that had never occurred to me

lost obsidian
#

so you can "shoot" the imaginary head?

split knoll
#

The one thing I hadn't tried.

mortal granite
#

if you shot the head

pastel ice
#

The animation is all for show.

mortal granite
#

i could be that one tumor hitbox got overlay

#

and it made you feel you're damaging it by shooting the head

pastel ice
#

Wait what? We're talking about in general the mobs head hitbox yes?

glass sierra
#

You can get the head hit box if you aim close to the neck

#

/ the pit

pastel ice
#

Can't tell if @split knoll is being sarcastic.

glass sierra
#

The head hitbox is still there in the exact same spot....
@pastel ice no, it’s not at all just still floating

#

it does get removed

#

or at least, the majority does

mortal granite
#

oh

#

wrong one

pastel ice
#

Welp just get some ||no target|| and experiment more freely.

split knoll
#

Just verified, not being sarcastic at all. Thanks for the tip.

glass sierra
#

wait what?

#

you can still shoot at the place the head was?

#

that doesn’t sound right

pastel ice
#

Yes.

#

That's been a thing since Alpha.

glass sierra
#

wtf, I’ve never had that happen to me

split knoll
#

Like, I had actually been trying to find the spot on the body that counted as a headshot once the head is gone, but it seems like you just shoot into space above the neck.

#

Which I had not tried.

#

Until this very moment.

pastel ice
#

Shows some peeps still haven't found all the kinks in the game.

devout river
#

ahhhhhhhhhhhh

On R3B1 we died after finishing the second uplink

#

This is a video of me testing it. And yeah, clearly haven't figured it all out yet!

lost obsidian
#

woah thats cool

I doubt it anytime soon.

#

God that B1 run took a while too and I have to do it all again now yayyyyyy

#

I heard some rumuors said you could pick NeonateHSU again after put it on in D1

#

I wonder if this true of not

#

🤔

#

And if it's nessassary🤪

frigid canopy
#

it's not

#

just stick it in and leave it

#

just finished d1 today

brittle crescent
#

🤔 I beat D1 days before with 2-mother-bug

#

however I really never think about picking that thing again,

#

Just curious about it

frigid canopy
#

no clue

atomic escarp
#

You can't, I tried.

brittle crescent
#

👀

mighty pond
#

You can't, I tried.
@atomic escarp You most definitely can. I've had teammates on multiple occasions pick it back up.

atomic escarp
#

wait is 2 mothers a bug on d1

#

lol

#

i thought that was just the way it was

mighty pond
#

Yes it is a bug

#

You're only supposed to spawn a single one

brittle crescent
#

🤔

mighty pond
#

At least once you insert baby that is

brittle crescent
#

rumours said it could be up to 5 mothers

atomic escarp
#

lol never seen anything other than 2

mighty pond
#

I've heard it goes higher

brittle crescent
#

But it should easy to deal with if they just come one by one

mortal granite
#

i got 4

mighty pond
#

I desire to test it to see how many I can get, but that's a lot of time to dedicate to figuring that out

brittle crescent
#

👀

atomic escarp
#

@atomic escarp You most definitely can. I've had teammates on multiple occasions pick it back up.
@mighty pond

Strange. Is it a bug? Every time I've played you can't pick it up and I've tried picking it up always.

#

Reckon the birther could do with a less comical animation when it detects movement instead of the vicious hip thrusting. Like it's doing yoga moves 😂

#

oh boy
@timid gale

But why would you cheese A1, level is joke levels of easy as is. You can do both alarm doors at the same time with cfoam only

glass sundial
#

I think the weird hip thrusting thing it does is supposed to gross you out, because it is quite disturbing and gross

#

Unfortunately, some people will probably interpret it a bit... differently

tribal cosmos
#

multiple mother spawn is indeed a bug

#

like the constantl alarm in D1 after you plug in the baby

#

we didnt know it was a bug until a bug hunter told us about it

#

apparently for the alarm one, you need to plug in the baby as the host from the back of the platfrom in order to reduce the risk of triggering it

#

but so far we still don't know how it works

turbid cliff
#

Do babies look like bobbleheads to anyone else

PFFT

#

YES

#

@long crest as usual, im pointing out easy spots.

tired frost
#

Did someone actually solo D1?

signal kindle
#

Hey, just a questions here , does somebody know what's the scream when you open one of the last door in c1?

pliant shard
#

Keep playing

#

You’ll find out soon enough

forest horizon
#

You should have a good idea of what it is if you already did the previous levels

tired frost
#

Does anyone know the strat for the last door of D1 on solo?

long crest
#

I think the weird hip thrusting thing it does is supposed to gross you out, because it is quite disturbing and gross
@glass sundial

Most likely I guess but I find it just looks comical and a bit robotic

#

Does anyone know the strat for the last door of D1 on solo?
@tired frost

This level can be soloed?

tired frost
#

I heard someone did it but i'm not so sure. I got pretty far but this is a whole new level of difficult for me. (Havent done much with solo)

#

Once I get to the part with all the hybrids I die every time :/

mossy yoke
#

every expedition has been solo'd

tired frost
#

So then what do people do for the last door of D1?

mighty pond
#

Lots of kiting I'm sure

#

And by last door are you referring to the blood door or the warden door?

tired frost
#

Blood door

mighty pond
#

Likely kiting then yea, drag them away and go back for scan. Possibly multiple circles if the enemies are close. It's a shame you can't find explosive mines on that level cause it would help solo/duo

desert crescent
#

Alright just got past a3 solo now.... the new monster is in b2 right?

#

If so what area

mighty pond
#

Yep, in 610..? Its through the second door you open via cells in generators.

desert crescent
#

Alright

glass sundial
#

If you solo w/mines, you can also tactical nuke the last blood door lol

desert crescent
#

Ok

mighty pond
#

I can't remember the exact zone number

desert crescent
#

I spent 13 hour on A3 just to complete it solo.... ik how to spend my time wisely

mighty pond
#

If you solo w/mines, you can also tactical nuke the last blood door lol

I nuke it with mines in 4 mans, it's pretty entertaining to watch lol

desert crescent
#

U see ... I don’t have 4 people

mighty pond
#

The same effect can be achieved solo if you get there 😈

forest horizon
#

@desert crescent How did you do a3 solo?

#

Specifically what you did for the waves, the alarm, and the last wave.

turbid cliff
#

that was our first time seeing it and we didn't know shit about it

crisp vapor
#

Sooo

#

Going on D1 for the first time without knowing anything

#

is...hell..

west crow
#

don't panic during the alarm, take your time but be brief with whatever you have to do. check terminal for which zone the key is in, get the key, do the blood door, and escort whoever is carrying the child to the next scan. don't worry too much about supplies as you can go back for them after the small mother fight. if unlucky, the game will bug and you'll have to fight multiple mothers, but just be ready for the fight. everything after is really about taking your time and the boss fight looks intimidating but really just functions as a very fast normal mother

#

on paper it seems terrible, but it really isn't all that bad

crisp vapor
#

Didnt get past the key card part yet but thanks for the tips

desert crescent
#

@forest horizon I completed it with a combat shotgun and carbine ... I used a burst sentry and some luck.... u can get past the first 2 waves ez only grabbing the loot from the first zone ... then u search the rest of the zones and don’t pick anything up “there for later cuz ur gonna get over run “ I found that ammo and health are best to leave u can use the tool refill if ur desperate between rounds ... you place your burst sentry facing toward the right stairs at the door if your walking into the room with the warden door u save ammo BC there weaker on there backs and stuff... normally when I have to go into the other room I take my sentry turret with me incase I find too refill... When u go to zone_431 if there is any doubles of anything “leave them” there for the security scan later which u can complete with just ur weapons alone but cfoaming the bottom middle door is nice to get some extra time and take out the hoards with the combat shot gun... the scout is ezier to kill in zone-434 if they’re on the right side of the room and ... for the final 2 waves ur gonna get over run so ur gonna have to flee back into the reactor room and get the supplier that u left there incase u run low

#

Oh wait I forgot to say u should camp atop of the right stairs... u found it better than the left because on the left they sometimes go up the ladder ... also on the last security scan be careful because 5-7 of em spawn behind u for some reason

#

If u get any trip mins use them on the door I told to cfoam so it takes out the majority of them ... u should be able to get one scan done in peace

#

U can list a zone to find all its contents so make sure u check up on that

atomic escarp
#

Give them a hug, that'll fix it.

sage shore
#

have you considered just shooting them

west crow
#

If you find any syringes I believe you can one full charge smack them in the head

atomic escarp
#

I’ve been trying to do that so far I haven’t been able to hit the dammed things in the head

west crow
#

they pause to shoot so I'd assume that would be the best time

#

if you're worried about getting hit, hit and run

atomic escarp
#

Yeah but when I rush in most of the Time they’re targeting someone else so they aren’t going to shoot and normally when I go in For a hit I fucking shake and miss entirely

#

I’m more than likely soloing it today when I get home just to see if it’s possible

calm sundial
#

You can solo A1 for sure, I messed up at the end but it's definitely possible.

knotty sphinx
#

The RNG makes or breaks the solo run

#

But, I'm sure you're talking about the yellow one

#

Not something I can answer since I don't use it

atomic escarp
#

Yeah it’s got a weird ass spawn location for sleepers when you go past the first security scan

#

If you’re slow they’ll spawn front near extract

#

If you’re too fast they’ll spawn from behind

#

But they only spawn in groups of 3-4

#

Until extract then it adds another 3 to the waves

obtuse surge
#

RNG doesn't matter on A1

#

or any A tier really

atomic escarp
#

On A2 it can

obtuse surge
#

For beginners

#

Sure

atomic escarp
#

If you get a scout that’s in the room with a motion trigger door it can fuck you up

#

Cause you’ll get both sleepers front and back

obtuse surge
#

mainly giants/hybrids from the front if you used mines

#

Either way, that's pretty rare

#

so not really much of an issue

#

i've had a scout in A of the fog zone just once so far
