Tartarus

Welcome to the 8 player reactor. This level was designed with 8 people in mind and I don't even know if clearing it with 6 or less is possible.

The level is mostly vanilla. Vanilla enemies, vanilla guns, only a few balance changes to address some issues which in testing came up as boring (such as scatter being the only useful bosskiller). Please enjoy.

Oh and teamplay is required. This isn't just R8E2 reactor with twice as many enemies.

Balance

Balance is mostly inspired from Tru, I did however implement far less nerfs than in his mod. Scattergun's ability to bosskill has been nerfed into oblivion btw (0.5 precision multiplier). Burst cannon is back to pre r8.

Difficulty

The difficulty of the level is around an E tier, however because it is for 8 people, managing everyone and making sure everyone is doing their job will be a lot harder.

Bugs and issues

If you find any bugs or issues, please DM tgb03 on discord as fast as possible. I will attempt to address them as quickly as I can.

Changes

• 1.0.0 Initial release.

• 1.0.1 Fixed an audio file not being sent on thunderstore properly.

• 1.0.2 So apparently enemy cap was not raised. Hence the level was far too easy.

• 1.0.3 Fix DID NOT WORK. Now maybe it works????

• 1.0.4 Fix did not work again. I am at this point just gambling to try and make it work.

• 1.1.0 Massively nerfed ammo in 101 and 102 as to make sure players cannot play 'too' carefully. Moms&PMoms buffed as they were far too weak. Buffed shotgun too.

• 1.1.1 Made a few parts more consistent in the level so RNG does not play a part in difficulty. (A certain section was sometimes easier than intended randomly)

• 1.1.2 Reverted nerf on DMR. Buffed slug slightly. Buffed AR slightly. Changed HighCalliber from a bosskiller role to a nightmare striker killer.

• 1.1.3 Buffs to short rifle, nerfed hel rifle & hel gun massively.

Thanks

• Tru for inspiring a lot of the game balance. Some guns were straight up copied from his VanillaReloaded mod. The main difference from his mod is most powerful guns have smaller nerfs and weaker guns have bigger buffs.

• YourMomGoSky more balance related stuff. (Thank him for pre r8 sniper)

• Dakstar helping with debugging an audio issue I had.

• GTFO MODDING SERVER several people helped out with testing and playing the level, I thank them for the massive amount of troubleshooting and helping me fully test the level.

• randomuserhi for replay mod which allowed me to test some stuff faster. Also I recommend using the mod while playing to see what each player is doing.

this level is not Scaler bait i swear
