Early into the radius and future content

[winged lava]

I stole all of these

[median marlin]

What

[winged lava]

@lost ore i know your the source of the early in-game ones, how? and got anymore?

[winged lava]

what

[median marlin]

Aliens have arrived in the radius

[median marlin]

That's gonna be me you artifacts and paulus

[winged lava]

hell yeah

[median marlin]

That's a lot of rooms

[winged lava]

ngl some of these earlier screenshots make me hope they darken the atmosphere down again

[median marlin]

I hope they give us this update early like all the other ones

Like this got me jumping up and down

[median marlin]

Fr

[winged lava]

like a beta?

[median marlin]

Now that mimics are invisible

[median marlin]

?

Wym

[winged lava]

idk im cazy

crazy

beta mid feb would be nice

longer beta teasting than the last update would make sense

[median marlin]

What the fart is this

Where do you get this

[lost ore]

Early version of the Forest

[median marlin]

Isn't this peninsula

[lost ore]

Yup

[median marlin]

Looks so dope with the fog

[median marlin]

I would love the feel of 1.0 buildings

[winged lava]

Apartments and dorms

I want the fog back

[median marlin]

Fr

[lost ore]

This map looks sick

[median marlin]

Mud 😱

[winged lava]

I hope we get access to the test builds at somepoint

[median marlin]

Woah

[median marlin]

Man I want new map now

[winged lava]

Did you get to play in the early builds or did vets just get leaked stuff early?

[winged lava]

Itr3

[lost ore]

I’m friends with Juhani

From the dev team

[median marlin]

Who

[lost ore]

Juhani Pallasmaa

[median marlin]

[winged lava]

Man I'm not trying to sound ungrateful but I hope this kindove vibe gets pushed into the full release

[lost ore]

The base vibe?

[winged lava]

Everything

The base too yeah

[winged lava]

Especially this one

[lost ore]

I’m hoping the Snow White Forest is a future map

[winged lava]

Hell yeah

Favorite fed

Sorry paul

[median marlin]

Where's the pm?

[winged lava]

Was it edited in?

[median marlin]

Plant room?

[median marlin]

I hope facility 27 dirties up a tiny lil bit

[winged lava]

Ages with the games age

[lost ore]

Pm?

[median marlin]

Makarovious

[lost ore]

Why are you asking about the pm?

Did you see a version of that image with the pm?

[winged lava]

i got the screenshot one sec

[lost ore]

Could be some interesting radius lore…. Time trickery?

[winged lava]

way back machine is dying

[lost ore]

🤔

[winged lava]

very low res

[median marlin]

It's on steam

[winged lava]

not anymore i dont think

they changed the feautred screenshots at ea launch

its hard to tell but i think the pm is edited in

it might not be

it might be an developer camera or something used to take the picture

it would be harder to fake a screenshot than to just add a model

so maybe its a screenshot of the same scene in different scenarios

[median marlin]

Everyday I'm husslin'

Ash in the sky

😿

Where is it now?

[winged lava]

ikr😭

[median marlin]

Lonely, I'm Mr lonely
I have nobody for my own

[lost ore]

The ash from ITR1 was already good

[median marlin]

Me without my ash

[lost ore]

No need to change it

[median marlin]

Fr

Maybe ash storms

[lost ore]

I can o my hope that the devs are about to blow our minds with some new ash

New ash storms

Or behavior or something

Actually, zona has some ash animations that are sick

Like expanding and shrinking and swirling pockets of ash

With sound effect too

Kind of weird, benign airborne anomalies, basically

[median marlin]

It would be amazingly

[winged lava]

there was a hint about a tide dev diary awhile back

[median marlin]

If only we got some variation to da taid

[winged lava]

mini tides

[median marlin]

Big tides

Massive tides

[winged lava]

2 round ones specifically

[soft pond]

This is cool, theres some more stuff in the files like unreleased enemies

I'll put them in here later

[winged lava]

👀

yes please

[lost ore]

Thank you, BagelMan

[winged lava]

i havnt looked much into itr2 files

itr is my favorite community

yall so nice

[median marlin]

Fr

Not me tho

I'm a criminal

But I try my best

[winged lava]

ugghh i just relised those older backpacks look so good

[winged lava]

and you can see the church in thendistance

i hope they add these maps later down the line

or atleast give us the older builds

just everything about those screenshots feel more radius like than what we have

[winged lava]

and you can see the church in this one

this map looks small enough to be a satellite location

[lost ore]

Good eyes

I’m 93% sure the church map is coming

[lost ore]

I like the new ones a lot better

[winged lava]

i just dont like how boxxy and plasticky they look

i think in the old trailer they where black

[winged lava]

i sure hope so it looks badass and like 50% finished

[winged lava]

you have to be a secret dev where are you getting these

[lost ore]

[winged lava]

im gonna hire a private investigator

[soft pond]

alright

im finally free

you guys ready for the craziest thing you will ever see

In 0.11.0 they did have textures

idk why they arent applied now

but you can get a sense of what they look like

oh yea theres also sounds attributed to them

and they are scary

ill see if I can find a way to download them

@winged lava @lost ore you guys should check these out

[winged lava]

i wouldnt be suprised if this is a seeker

[winged lava]

explorer?

actual hype thankyou

[soft pond]

yuhhh

[winged lava]

reminds me of jeff

they also remind me of the soldiers with caved in faces🤔

[winged lava]

are you using fmodel here?

[orchid turtle]

These r from an asset pack

they’re not new enemies they were a testbed/being used to prototype the fragments

[winged lava]

damn i got bamboozled

something maybe interesting

i cant open the models so idk if its a nothingburger or just a test

[orchid turtle]

Ya they used to have textures

And they all worked at one point

Well were viewable

[winged lava]

i was gonna mention how they didn't fit the vibe but i do like how they have lumpy deformed bits

[winged lava]

goopy

[median marlin]

What the frick is that

That's worse than a head crab

And a face hugger

[lost ore]

Yeah, that’s what I was thinking

They loot like test assets

They don’t fit ITR at all

It’s like knock-off Half-Life stuff

[median marlin]

Maybe they were just experimenting

Like science

🖖🦝

[winged lava]

i just prefer the color palette of the older version :/

like the fog and the water colors is so much better

[lost ore]

Are you a secret dev?

[winged lava]

i also find the sandiness to be to pronounced

[winged lava]

How did you get it early

Are you Darius

OR hacker

[lost ore]

I got it from a content creator that got an email with it

The low res version

The original email seemed to suggest that the next map would be larger than 1.0

But it could be a miscommunication

They might just be saying that the qualities of the map outdo what has been done before

And not necessarily the size of the map

🤷‍♂️

[soft pond]

maybe it cause of the

i dont know

giant crater in the middle of the map

[winged lava]

I doubt it's bigger

Doesn't make sense unless they change the whole map scale

[winged lava]

Best hypothesis

[lost ore]

Duh, that makes so much sense 🤦‍♂️

It means it’s physically “big,” but also conceptually big for the series

Okay, so I’m guessing that’s the next map then

[soft pond]

You could say it's massive

You know what else is massive?

[lost ore]

Nõ

[waxen zephyr]

i hope the store looks like this eventually

[upbeat oak]

exploring this map was awesome. the devs need to keep up the good work.

[waxen zephyr]

dawg it aint out what you mean

[upbeat oak]

I was the first non- developer person to explore it.

[waxen zephyr]

:0

[upbeat oak]

and its a great map

[waxen zephyr]

you don't have to say what they are of course but were there new weapons

[lost ore]

the needle gun

super strong

[upbeat oak]

Im not sure how much I can say as to how I did it, but "Not that I saw" and I defiantly didn't explore it thru official means.

[waxen zephyr]

i sure hope snipers of any kind are in the next update tho

[median marlin]

Mosin

[upbeat oak]

I imagine they would be. they said in a dev diary, that there would be a new entity, map, and they would be balancing out enemies spawns so I bet there would probably be one.

[winged lava]

The ray gun

[waxen zephyr]

makes sense

[median marlin]

I'm pretty sure that somebody said something about the mosins name already being in the files or something

So maybe 0.13 they'll surprise us

[upbeat oak]

he he he ha

Please

We need it

[soft pond]

i downloaded the dev range mod

and there is some

cool

and i mean

cool

stuff in there

unreleased too

I don't know if I should share it though

I think its better if I don't

[upbeat oak]

If anyone can access it, your safe.

what changed?

[upbeat oak]

if there was anything they didn't want people to see, they wouldn't put in the dev rang knowing that people could load into it.

nevermind. I cant say for certain because Keyboard inputs no longer work as of last update.

[median marlin]

Huh

[soft pond]

well as far as I know and you probably know more than me, the only things I saw were some early working version of the new enemies

but they were good, like too good. They were using the asset models that were in the files, as well as the sounds

[median marlin]

We need to see this

[soft pond]

I have a video

I have to compress it though gimme a couple min

[upbeat oak]

if it was the zombies, those were simply from an asset pack cm games used.

these https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1315481396235735071/1315992188337000489/cachedImage.png?ex=678c2e7b&is=678adcfb&hm=2c7940a5884d8157c3f0bacbc5bf3982db94374c26419db38cf9d8dc6b688163&

[soft pond]

Lemme send the video, then I think we'll have better context

allright, here you go, have fun analyzing

also sorry for the terrible quality, blame discord for their bs file upload size limit 💀

[upbeat oak]

yup those are simply zombies out of an asset pack. I think cm games used a premade pack, modified the code and is using that for the base code for the mimics.

[soft pond]

ah...

well, I guess thats a good thing

it means that I can still get surprised when the actual new enemies come out

I will say though they kinda fit the vibe of ITR2

[soft pond]

I do have to ask how did you get in the map, I would like to explore it too

[upbeat oak]

Until the map releases, I don't want to disclose my method. I dont want to cause any larger of a map leak than I am already responsible for. (those screenshots of the map at the top of the post are mine)

I didn't realize how big of a leak it was at the time, since I thought CM hadn't settled on a blockout iteration of the map yet. By the time I heard from Darius that they were trying to keep it secret, those screenshots had already been passed around quite a bit.

[median marlin]

https://tenor.com/view/straight-to-jail-crime-criminal-gif-16779501

[soft pond]

That is respectable

[winged lava]

Some pretty big differences beetween these 2 including the third person and the anamoly difference

[winged lava]

this one is a tad different too

[winged lava]

Same scene in the day instead

this one i believe was not used on the early steam page

and we get a look at the early player model

[winged lava]

After the map releases would you share any more in development screenshots, only if your comfortable of course

[lost ore]

🫠

[Axel Gembe has entered the chat]

[upbeat oak]

Oh yea. I don't mind sharing once the map is released. I'm just not looking to accidentally leak anything that was meant to be secret. If anything, the early dev builds of the map I saw will just be a half-baked version of the final product.

[winged lava]

Just interesting to see how it looked in early development vs final product

If the devs released a breakdown of how their development process works that would be very intriguing

[upbeat oak]

If your interested, When the map officially releses, I can stream the blockout in the vc.

[winged lava]

Id be happy to watch

I'm free Mons, wens, and Saturdays after 1pm

[lost ore]

Zombine lookin’ ahh

[lost ore]

What in the zona origin is this?!?!?!

[lost ore]

Did you see birbdad’s game that they sold to CM to basically be the foundation of ITR?

It’s called weapon master?

Here’s the slider

[upbeat oak]

Ive never heard of it.

[lost ore]

Wearing the weapon master shirt

[lost ore]

It’s incredible what some random mobile game devs were able to do by purchasing and modifying assets

https://youtu.be/V9TTkpz3Zc0

[median marlin]

Woah

[winged lava]

He got that gudamn slider stumble

[lost ore]

That’s the slider model!

do any of you know if we will be able to swap out dusk covers and other parts of the guns

[lost ore]

Supposedly stocks and grips

Idk about dust covers

[median marlin]

They said they will take a modular approach to things

[lost ore]

: (

[median marlin]

Hopefully meaning, the barrel, receiver, stock, grips, and mags?

Maybe even some variations of iron sights for no reason

[lost ore]

[gulp]

[median marlin]

All I need

Is a dang under folding stock of the ak

And a dong

And an extended barrel

[lost ore]

A dong?

[orchid turtle]

romanian dong

[median marlin]

Ak dong

[orchid turtle]

the dong

[median marlin]

I want something exactly like dis

[median marlin]

It's so beautiful 🥹

[lost ore]

Ohhhh the Romanian song

Dang autocorrect

I swear 🤷‍♂️

[waxen zephyr]

Is that a nvg scope I personally much rather have goggles or both would be hype

[winged lava]

I'm assuming we are getting both

Since there is a mount on one of the helmets

Also if the nv overlay is finished with the scope I bet we will get an attachment for the helmet

[waxen zephyr]

I really hope we get Night vision, and any sniper next update that would be perfect

[soft pond]

Conroy has just showcased the two enemies from the asset pack

now everyone is gonna think that they are gonna come to the game 😬

not sure how thats gonna go

[winged lava]

Yeah I saw your comment

Unfortunate

Hopefully he has seen it

[orchid turtle]

conroy doing conroy things

[orchid turtle]

they did yes

[lost ore]

So strange

[winged lava]

Kill rewards mod back in .11 I think

[waxen zephyr]

Would that still mean those calibers might still get added

[winged lava]

It's not from the mod, the mod takes items and puts them into a loot pool to be dropped by enemies

So it's an item already in the game

[waxen zephyr]

But not in the store

[winged lava]

Yeah not in the store

Just unimplemented

[waxen zephyr]

For now.....

[lost ore]

yeah, that thing

is that it?

It's like a triple head

merged triple head

[winged lava]

I wonder if I mod my save file to sec 4 if I would encounter it

[winged lava]

Bagel posted it so idk🤷‍♂️

Must be

[worn compass]

it might be for the tiger rifle like from the first game i don't think they have the bolt action feature just yet but i could be wrong

[soft pond]

That is indeed it

and to this day

no one has seen it

[worn compass]

sorry i was referring to the 762.51 ammo shown in one of the screenshots i believe its going to be used for the tiger rifle or the svd its also called

[worn compass]

i also just realized the that SVD used 762x54 not 762x51 so we could be geting another marksmen rifle or something like the FN FAL

but i hope its for a HK G3

[zenith cobalt]

The SVD has always shot 54r the best

and I kind of want the Scar-H for the 762 nato, was my favorite in the original

[worn compass]

agree

[winged lava]

I think cm had the atmosphere pretty nailed down in early development

atleast thats how it apears

very dark and gritty

[winged lava]

I do prefer the push towards more color though

[winged lava]

Early into the radius and future content

[winged lava]

https://youtu.be/1A41guN5Ve0?si=opLUHz-pB3Pf6-HG

i still have no idea why rain was removed

it doesnt look half bad especially this early in dev

26:00

atmospheric s hell

https://clips.twitch.tv/GorgeousSmokyWeaselBCWarrior

[soft pond]

agreed

it was probably a performance/lore reason maybe

I mean the radius was completley isolated from the rest of the world at the time

[lost ore]

SS

+P

[waxen zephyr]

how did u get this

[lost ore]

The committee and I have a certain…how shall I say?… understanding…

[winged lava]

Does this confirm s dev diary or beta this week?

[upbeat oak]

That looks like a cg render with some basic texture altering. Still cool tho.

Especially if it's from the official team.

[waxen zephyr]

i have really high hopes for it being this week

[winged lava]

If it's actually a render then it's probably a dev diary this week

Artifact somehow gets dev diarys early

But the fact that it's a video interests me

[lost ore]

it is in engine

[winged lava]

Why is ss grey?

On a side note I'm so happy we're getting subsonic

I feel like it's gonna be 10x more useful than itr1

[vivid pivot]

why is 5.45 ammo in a 9x18 box

[lost ore]

It’s a misleading screen shot…the dev is showing that you can alter any of the parameters for each box to look like or say what you want

[vivid pivot]

oh

[lost ore]

”The theme and genre of the game was a key focus of the project right from the start. Inspired by the novel ‘Roadside Picnic’ by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky mixed with the themes of Stephen King, along with the atmosphere of the game Myst.”

Interesting to know that Stephen King and Myst are influences

[lost ore]

beat me to it

literally copied to clipboard

[winged lava]

The lighting looks great

It appears to not be a render

[upbeat oak]

hehe. I know where on the map that location is

[vivid pivot]

does anyone have a picture of the town map

[upbeat oak]

best not spoil it for yourself this close to release!

[vivid pivot]

i love spoilers actually

if you have a picture of the map pls show 🙏

[upbeat oak]

No can do!

at least not from me. Ive been responsible for a map leak in the past and aint gonna be responsible for another one.

[vivid pivot]

😢

[soft pond]

WHATATT

wait how did you guys get invited to it 😭😭

Curse my ability to not be a content creator

Oh my god

People are gonna be streaming it

This is the happiest day of my life 😭

Finally something new after a content drought for literally a month

[vivid pivot]

i should get invited to play the beta early too

not fair!

[upbeat oak]

Im not a content creator, I just aquired a super early build of the game with a super early development blackout of the map included.

[soft pond]

Oh yea, everyone here remembers that..... Incident

[soft pond]

Dude I love this lighting

Actually just so similar to itr1

I am actually losing my mind I have been looking forward to this for so long

[upbeat oak]

I did however ask Darius If I could record and post a video of the early development version of the map on Wednesday (one day after content creators get their hands on the map.) He said he has to check with the team first.

[vivid pivot]

content creators got their hands on the beta on tuesday?

[upbeat oak]

get*

[vivid pivot]

wait wait wait

do they not already have access to it

[soft pond]

They do! Xpasty is streaming it tonight at 8pm est

[vivid pivot]

when is that

[soft pond]

Watch at your own discretion

[upbeat oak]

I think some higher profile content creators might have had it for a few days at this point, however i think it's different for every creator.

[soft pond]

I'ma start making content JUST so I can get early access to stuff 👅👅

[vivid pivot]

in like how many hours is 8pm est i cant read time zone conversions

[soft pond]

What time zone are you

Or wait that doesn't really matter

That's in like uh

2 and a half hours

[vivid pivot]

thats like 2 am

[upbeat oak]

<t:1743206400:t>

[soft pond]

Yup

[vivid pivot]

im not missing ITR2 beta 2 content though

[soft pond]

I don't know how you did that

[upbeat oak]

I think that timestamp should work

[soft pond]

Buts really cool

[upbeat oak]

https://discordtimestamp.com/

I just used this.

[vivid pivot]

i want new content so bad

[soft pond]

Me too bro

[vivid pivot]

forest got a little boring

[soft pond]

I didn't even notice, you can see the new explosive fragment at the bottom there

[upper cave]

house with a bootayhole

[soft pond]

couldnt have said it better myself

[upper cave]

can we have more evil random artifacts

like I want a big elephant’s foot type thing

ignore JD Vance in the picture he just manifested

The map looks half baked but still so good

Might become my favorite itr map ever

[soft pond]

Oh....

My....

God....

I think im gonna faint

[winged lava]

That's all the spoilers I'm watching

As much as I want to watch xpasty and substatica

Play the game

[soft pond]

Suit yourself im trying to see as much as I can of the new location 💀

[winged lava]

To think that this map already looks better than the forest and isn't nearly as polished is crazy

Imo

[soft pond]

Real

[winged lava]

The fog definitely looks better

Still would love some true volumetric fog

So stinkin ugly now

wtf

I don’t understand it

[languid horizon]

Town is grey tho

[winged lava]

Buttt that looks like some nice new snazzy foliageeee

[winged lava]

Did the trees return ?

[waxen zephyr]

yes

[waxen zephyr]

.

[winged lava]

Hell yeah

[lost ore]

No, a bit, no not as many trees as 0.12

[winged lava]

At least we got that

[lost ore]

We got some

[waxen zephyr]

definitely waay more

[winged lava]

About as much or almost as much as .12

[lost ore]

Nowhere near as much as 0.12

That’s what I’m saying

[winged lava]

I'm really hoping they revert the sky colors

[winged lava]

Arnt you staying spoiler free though?

[lost ore]

For the town map

I watched xpasty visit the forest

Just to see what it looks like

Still ugly as heck with the sky and lighting and ash, but some more trees that 0.13.0

I had suspected that the devs intended to reduce the Forest, just not to the “drastic” amount in the 0.13.0 beta

So we gone some trees back

But not all of them

[waxen zephyr]

all ill say for town map is "PEAK" and i dont think you will be disappointed about the atmosphere

[winged lava]

From what I've seen the lighting is really nice

[winged lava]

Imo that's not really a good thing

[lost ore]

Grey sounds like a breathe of fresh air compared to whatever the heck the forest is now

[winged lava]

Well the forest is grey too just orange on top of that

But the way the sky and lighting is in the new map is 1.0 remenesecnt

Less colorful though

Also they added something you really wanted to see👀

You probably already saw it but just in case I won't spoil

[lost ore]

I haven’t seen anything

Only spoiled the name and color

And that one still image of the apartment anus

[winged lava]

I might be halucinating

[median marlin]

No way, are you sure?

[winged lava]

Wdym?

Are you sure that, that image is not a figment of your imagination put there by the radius entity?

[winged lava]

Oh shit

I think I get it now

[upper cave]

Are we sure?

[winged lava]

||sometimes in the new beta when the tablet loads in it shows an animation of the camera flapping back down to it's resting position 👀||

[winged lava]

https://youtu.be/5u_op5B-DZE?si=oy_UEWHKPac-ubo2

Is this actually the original theme?

Seemingly si

[lost ore]

Almost metro vibes

[winged lava]

I do prefer the newer one tbh

It is good though

[upbeat oak]

I must add this track to the shop music selector!

I like the newer one, but the older one fits the game much much better

[vivid pivot]

the town map

I thought I accidentally deleted the build of the game with the early development version of town in it off my pc.
After a full day thinking I had lost the build and wouldn't be able to show it off, I found that I had a backup of the game files! Hopefully Ill get clearance from Darius to show off this awesome version of town soon!
In the meantime, here is a cropped screenshot of the early dev map's version of the content creator teaser for ya'll to dissect. (since everyone has seen it already.)

[languid horizon]

how did you even get this

was it like in the early betas or something

[upbeat oak]

mysterious ways

[languid horizon]

would someone get in trouble if you said how

[upbeat oak]

it's kept secret for a good reason, however that good reason includes CM's thoughts on the method which would defeat the whole purpose of keeping it secret.
Nobody would get in trouble but there are other good reasons not to share it that I cant exactly get into.

[soft pond]

Oooh, I don't think that's the camera, I think it's just the opening to the tape player 😭

[winged lava]

Could be both

[orchid turtle]

thats not a tape player

lol

what sorta tape players hav eyou all been looking at

[soft pond]

Oh what the hell that is a camera

[winged lava]

It might be a tape player underneath is all I'm saying

I do think it's a camera though

[soft pond]

I swear I thought it was a tape player since we had it in the og Itr

I didn't see that the entire thing flipped up

I mean it has to be something right

[winged lava]

I'm 90% sure we are getting tapes

99

[orchid turtle]

from what info other than you just saying that

[soft pond]

I mean

Also they are in itr1

And are an important part of the lore building

[winged lava]

.

Not confirmation but they are modeled and it would be in CMs. Best interest

Heres a better image

[shrewd otter]

NVGs are gonna be sick. Super jazzed on the progress the games making

[soft pond]

I think it might just be a separate render, like that image of 73 standing on top of the house in peninsula wearing a traditional looking backpack

[winged lava]

well yeah it is a render but the models are there

they wouldn't just tease us and not add it right

[soft pond]

I hope not

[winged lava]

i want my grenades and condensed milk

[soft pond]

I want my beer and Christmas tree

[winged lava]

so true

maybe this december

[soft pond]

All I want for Christmas

Issss....

long pause

A god damn Christmas tree in the facility

And my beer

[winged lava]

it would be so cozy

maybe some christmas trees in the radius 2

[soft pond]

Perfect with the gingerbread cookie mod

[winged lava]

Btw the mugs did get added in this second beta

I don't see a real use for matches yet but who knows

[soft pond]

Would make good merch

[winged lava]

Would totally buy

[upbeat oak]

https://www.nexusmods.com/intotheradius2/mods/28

[soft pond]

Oh man

What would we ever do without you

[lost ore]

Yeah

Humans really are the best

Glad we have one of our own

[winged lava]

Very far fetched claim but considering we have gotten at least 4 different cups/mugs in the .13 betas, we could actually get drinkable liquids

My bad 5 cups/mugs

[vivid pivot]

if they dont make it so i can drink the red water im refunding the game

[upper cave]

The little nub in the crater makes me think…

[winged lava]

I wouldn't be surprised if we get more crater content as the map gets polished

It would be a wasted opportunity not too

[vivid pivot]

its ||an island you can get to via portals||

[upbeat oak]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5rW4YBQ1TTo

[soft pond]

oh man

dude that NPC looks so geeked lmao

Same with the guy in the shop lol

[waxen zephyr]

Im suprised this isnt in the new map

[upbeat oak]

https://youtu.be/yE3_ddwKqo4
an absolute goldmine for yall to enjoy!

[lost ore]

Thank you

I will enjoy after I get to play the bayduh

[winged lava]

I love the loud thunder cracks

Hoping we get that cool looking tower in maybe a future map

And maybe some more pit content

[upbeat oak]

||This is not a glock||

[soft pond]

Is that a p226 👀

[upbeat oak]

🤐

[soft pond]

[winged lava]

Maybe we will get the 4+ new weapons

[winged lava]

Has to be the fort 17😛

[upbeat oak]

🤐

[winged lava]

My one question, is it ready for release?

[upbeat oak]

cant say. This blured screenshot I think is already pushing it a little

[vivid pivot]

no friggin way

my favourite pistol ever

[vivid pivot]

(if it is what i think it is)

omg

[upper cave]

please ks23

[languid horizon]

beeg shotgun

[soft pond]

Guys I think it might be a minigun

[vivid pivot]

it might be the APS underwater rifle, which also means the scuba mimics could appear in beta 3 or 4

[vivid pivot]

also where do you get these images from

[soft pond]

oh god the scuba mimics

[upbeat oak]

Cant say exactly how these were obtained, but I can say, that this next update is going to be sweeet!

[vivid pivot]

if theres no scuba mimics then it wont be sweet

boooooo

[soft pond]

One day you gotta tell me your secrets man

[vivid pivot]

🍅 🍅 🍅 🍅 🍅 🍅 💥 💥 💥 💥 💥 💥 💥

throws tomatoes at you

i wonder if data will save between beta 2 and 3

[upbeat oak]

It will.

the only reason it didnt transfer for beta 2 is ITR2 got an update from unreal 5.3 to 5.4

the save files weren't compatible between engine versions.

[waxen zephyr]

beta 3?

is that what you mean by next update?

[upbeat oak]

Cant say much for certain.

Cm might decide not to do a beta 3 for all I know. it's their game.

[soft pond]

This might just be a bug but I got footage of me being able to hold the flashlight in the tactical position which was originally an option available in ITR1 but not ITR2, sneak peek that it may be coming it ITR2??

[languid horizon]

yeah its in the game, its a bit jank tho

[soft pond]

a lil bit jank

[median marlin]

You have to grab it in that orientation

And it stays like that

[soft pond]

Does it? I'll have to try this out, for me it only works when I pull it off the vest

[winged lava]

doesn't rule out new content and the leaks of what we could get, but no beta 3

[upbeat oak]

Another interesting image for y'all to dissect pixel by pixel. Enjoy!

[soft pond]

I'm just looking at the bucket on the right guys hip 💀💀

But other than that, I don't see anything I haven't seen yet, maybe. You could drop a lot hinty hint, to steer me in the right direction

[lost ore]

Selfie? 🙂

[winged lava]

I think I see walkie talkies

[soft pond]

Wait where

Oh shoot on their arms right?

[upbeat oak]

Nope those are just probes

(I was using frenzyc's tactical gear retexture because the default blue looks horrible.)

[winged lava]

Oh :(

Ahh the ground what stock is that

[upbeat oak]

Prox chat was added this update so I wouldn't be surprised if a walkie talkie would come in the future

[winged lava]

Hmmmm

Looks pretty damn similar to this g36 foldable stock

Almost an exact match

[soft pond]

Oh yea

Human you can keep teasing us like this bruh, just tell us the goodies 😫

[winged lava]

I'm also 90% sure those are g36 mags too

I think that's also the fort 17 holstered there???

I don't think he Makarov is that chunky

[winged lava]

Idk if that's just a visual bug but there's a red thing next to the foot????

[upbeat oak]

Alright, y'all have had your fun. Not a peep more is coming from me

[lost ore]

https://tenor.com/view/squint-eyes-really-gif-13700560966715616459

[soft pond]

Uh oh, strike 2 💀

[winged lava]

Human is done for

[upper cave]

can we have the lab soon...

[languid horizon]

I think the lab is probably gonna be part of a bigger update where they introduce more artifacts so probably not super soon

[winged lava]

||Darius is watching ||

[lost ore]

[lost ore]

More things that I will literally never touch

[median marlin]

I doubt that

If you find em, you'll definitely use them

[winged lava]

||the beneli sounds appetizing||

[median marlin]

Ikr

[lost ore]

There’s already so many weapons that I’ve found and haven’t used

[median marlin]

I prefer that over the saiga any day

[winged lava]

Wish we got a pump though 😞

[lost ore]

Like every single AK variant

[median marlin]

Yeah but they're not new, the new ones feel like using a guchi supreme gun, because it's ✨ new ✨

[median marlin]

There's always like 85 aks in itr

It's a requirement

[winged lava]

||definitely gonna try the fort17, always good to have new sidearms||

[lost ore]

I’m always going to prefer easier operation and more capacity (up to 30 rounds anyway), so I don’t even touch a lot of guns

[lost ore]

I’ll always just opt for the highest damage with whatever is available to me

[winged lava]

Fair enough

[lost ore]

Well, I guess unless something else has better sights or more ammo

[median marlin]

It's a beautiful little thing ain't it

[winged lava]

Very

[median marlin]

Did it say we were gonna get new attachments?

I'm pretty sure it did but I don't want to be wrong, because being wrong is lame

[winged lava]

Correct me if I'm wrong but the office building now looks like a playable area, I don't believe it was in the beta?

[winged lava]

Yes

[lost ore]

I just mean iron sights, because I’ll take clear iron sights on the modded PM over the nasty iron sights of the stashed GSH

[median marlin]

Yeah

[median marlin]

This lighting is so awesome

[median marlin]

10/10

The modded pm is nice, too bad they took it from us 😞

[lost ore]

Why do you say it looks playable?

[winged lava]

It is, I'm so excited for this map to be polished up

[lost ore]

It looked playable in the beta, but I couldn’t find any way in

[median marlin]

Me neither

[winged lava]

Huh

[lost ore]

It looked like it had a top floor open

But could just be nice set design

[winged lava]

Maybe they just blocked it off till they could finish it

[median marlin]

There was a window that was open and looked climbable but I couldn't climb up there

I'm very excited for the drawers and cabinets

Especially in the apartments

[lost ore]

Yeah!!!!

Saw lots of people comment on that

Good to know

[winged lava]

We are no doubt getting interactable crates at some point

[median marlin]

The loot in those things are pretty spare, but now, it's going to be a blast trying to loot the whole thing

[lost ore]

I feel like making the 3 loot crate types interactable would be such a good start

Before drawers and cabinets

[winged lava]

I mean we have fully modeled med crates with lids in the facility

[median marlin]

Yeah

The med boxes especially

They're so awesome

[winged lava]

They looks so ugly without a lid

[median marlin]

I didn't even know they were supposed to have a lid, they just looked like plastic trays

[lost ore]

I want:

• med boxes open like a drawer / tool box
• wooden ammo crates smash, like in HL:A
• weapon crates pop open with a latch (mag-eject button when you grab it)

[winged lava]

Tupperware

[median marlin]

I would want to actually go through the motion of unlatching it, like yanking your controller back or something

[lost ore]

I just think, similar to the artifact nests, it would be nice if each loot type had a unique interaction mechanic

[lost ore]

I think the mag eject button would make so much sense, because we use it to “release” and also use it to take off attachments, helmets, vests, etc

[median marlin]

And the smashing, idk, because having to smash every single one of them will feel too gamey, but having the option to smash them, while being able to open them regularly would be awesome

Like whacking it with your gun stock

[lost ore]

Yeah, idk, it works in HL2, Stalker, HL:A, the Burst…

But yeah

Sort of gamey

[median marlin]

It would be awesome to be able to do that though

Like maybe some cabinets are stuck, so you have to bash through them to get the stuff inside

[lost ore]

I do think smacking them with a gunstock would be cool

It just smashes the lid

But leaves the rest of the box

Which we have now

You could shoot it or pistol whip it too

[median marlin]

Yeah, that would be dope

[lost ore]

I think it makes sense that the crates don’t move (like they currently don’t), but also in the way that the med boxes or tool boxes in Metro Awakening don’t move either

But you can still open them

Slide a lid

Smash a lid

Pop open a lid

I guess that’s how the crates were in ITR1 too

[median marlin]

Tbh I've always wanted to be able to buy empty loot crates from the shop, like a modified med crate that stores stims and attaches to your backpack, or a modified weapon crate that you can snap weapons into and place at your base

I always thought it would be cool

[languid horizon]

||I could see all those being added tbh||

||there's still the uh.. corrupted(?) guns that are going to be added so there's still plenty more for them to add on that front alone||

[winged lava]

I hope we actually get corrupted guns And not just the stashed ones

Corruption is much more interesting

[languid horizon]

||stuff like more enemies, drawers, mission variety, like 3-5 more areas, there's still a lot to do||

||some more guns makes sense||

||also they need a proper sniper for the new area||

[winged lava]

According to the John radius map thingy 2 more large and 2 small location???

[languid horizon]

maybe

[winged lava]

||svd😛||

[languid horizon]

||sr25 too but that's probably a sec 4 weapon||

[winged lava]

I think it's probably closer to completion than the mosin

[median marlin]

I hope that we could get modded maps too

That would be awesome

[languid horizon]

I don't see why not

[winged lava]

1.0 map restored with modding🙏

[languid horizon]

maybe even modded missions

[languid horizon]

actual artifacts would be so happy

[median marlin]

1.0 but all of the locations are from itr2 would be dope

[winged lava]

It's is the map of all time

[lost ore]

https://tenor.com/view/dog-smile-shyboos-smile-gif-24233810

[languid horizon]

sorry but I like my game running at a frame rate higher than 90

[median marlin]

Nah

[winged lava]

Isn't the max 90 hz?

[median marlin]

We're fine with 5½

[languid horizon]

144 with the index is the highest i think

[languid horizon]

I'm actually being serious, at 80 fps in vr I see flickering

[winged lava]

I thought itr2 only supported up to 90 though

[lost ore]

I’m still holding out hope for a “harbor” area in ITR2

[median marlin]

I've always preferred slideshows over video games

[median marlin]

How

[languid horizon]

fast eyes ig idk

[winged lava]

Yes pleassse

[languid horizon]

60 looks choppy to me

[lost ore]

I like slideshows in my video games… I’ve been collecting screen shots

[median marlin]

That's outrageous, I've always played my games at 30-70

[languid horizon]

90 is like bare minimum smoothness

[winged lava]

15 take it or leave it

[languid horizon]

240 hz looks so good tho

[median marlin]

I love the color 15 tbh

[languid horizon]

I think playing a game at 30 fps would give me an aneurysm

[lost ore]

We’ve got a lot of bludwasser in ITR2, and not a lot of industrial stuff - it makes sense

🙏

[languid horizon]

I mean where else are they gonna put the scuba mimics

[median marlin]

I want to pilot the SS bludwassee

[lost ore]

I’m hoping the announcement of “lockers” means that we are getting an industrial map eventually

But not til 2026

🥲

[winged lava]

I'd like a half industrial half farming rural area

[languid horizon]

not if I get an x3d chip

also like

[median marlin]

I want pobeda

[languid horizon]

itr2 runs great on the cpu

its the gpu that has issues

except for in town but I think that's just because its unoptimized

[lost ore]

We did miss a couple of buildings in the outskirts. So maybe lockers are already I. There?

[winged lava]

Pobdea is very flawed but fun

[median marlin]

Possibly

[median marlin]

We need a rework, it has the potential

[winged lava]

Yes

More foliage🤤

[lost ore]

Seeing a “proper” agricultural field in ITR2 would be nice (rows of dead crops instead of a blanket of grey, like Kolkhoz was)

[winged lava]

Do we know how big pobdea is compared to the forest

[lost ore]

Kolkhoz would have been so much better with fuzzy rows of crops in the fields

[winged lava]

I would love to see pobdea and kolkhoz to be combined

Mutated crops

I love the green house thing

[lost ore]

New greenhouses would be cool

Not the little ones we have

But like, a proper farm

[winged lava]

I'm talking about the one with the giant hogweed

[median marlin]

It's confirmed the next nap has to be a farm and a factory

[winged lava]

Might be my favorite area besides zarya factory from 1.0

[median marlin]

And I specifically would prefer it to be in a crescent shape, just to mix things up

[median marlin]

It's so dope

[lost ore]

Industrial areas have always been such a big part of the radius

So I’m shocked we don’t have any yet in ITR2

Must mean future maps will be sick

[winged lava]

I've always been confused what the point of the circle at the bottom of kolkhoz is for

There's nothing there

[median marlin]

Yeah fr

[lost ore]

JK

[winged lava]

Forest moment?

[lost ore]

Yeah

Blood ring

[winged lava]

Did they say anywhere that the pechorsk outskirts will be the biggest map?

[lost ore]

Not to my knowledge

🤔

[median marlin]

I'm pretty sure that they said that it is

[vivid pivot]

theres an anomaly cluster there im pretty sure

[soft pond]

It's 1.5 times the size of any itr1 location, and currently the largest map

It was not said if it will be the largest

There is a chance there will be larger

[upper cave]

super duper awesome mega cool idea
flat map; very little buildings. dense city at it's end. large road leading to it, full of mimics, spawns, and other stuff.

gives way for awesome UTV to be added ...

something akin to this

but the cities are WAY father apart

[swift bridge]

wait are they adding night vision or was this canceled?

[languid horizon]

I don't know if its every been public said there's going to be night vision, but it should be coming at some point

heck it might come in the full release of 0.13

[swift bridge]

bro that would be so sick

[waxen zephyr]

The goat is back

[languid horizon]

this just looks like about 6pm with shadows off

so uh...

screenshots from the quest version?

the photos are pretty blurry too

🤔

what an interesting resolution

doesn't really align with any of the meta headsets

and I just checked the file sizes from my q3 screenshots and they don't align either

[waxen zephyr]

Theres no way the quest 3 version could look that good still

[languid horizon]

nah I think it can

it actually kinda looks like crap because of no shadows

[waxen zephyr]

Hm

[languid horizon]

when did the devs say q3 port would be coming?

[waxen zephyr]

Thats the one thing i wish they didnt get rid of for it

[languid horizon]

was it quarter 2?

[waxen zephyr]

Yeah

[languid horizon]

it could be the case that they're planning to launch 0.13 on the meta store and on pc

which could also mean

it could be awhile before the update

although

I have no idea how the human would get his hands on the q3 version and then also take screenshots and then also post those screenshots without his account getting nuked

[waxen zephyr]

True

[languid horizon]

like getting early pc builds is one thing

[waxen zephyr]

In that case whats different?

[languid horizon]

not sure

it should be something consistent across all 3 screenshots

and i can't really see anything that stands out

[waxen zephyr]

Hmmm

Is the sun not there?

[languid horizon]

nah its there

its the same as it is now

[waxen zephyr]

@upbeat oak if you dont mind me asking whats your pc specs

[upbeat oak]

Ryzen 7 5700x | RTX3060 12GB | 32GB 3600 DDR4 Ram.

[waxen zephyr]

Alr

[soft pond]

Thought you weren't allowed to tease us with new stuff 🤔

[languid horizon]

tbf its pretty much impossible to tell

I have no idea what could be in those screenshots

[soft pond]

Honestly same

[languid horizon]

especially with how blurry they are

[soft pond]

They kinda just look like

Pictures

[languid horizon]

yeah

with shadows off

and ffr on

[soft pond]

If it is somehow the quest 3 version, id believe it

[languid horizon]

unless its from the q3 or something

but the human would have to be houdini or something to pull some crap like that off

[soft pond]

That hedgehog anomaly in the first photo looks a lot less in quality than the ones we have in game rn
