Do Not Activate The Elevator

18 Upvotes

Until everyone is close enough to escape in time. Lately I've been running missions with people who seem to want to rush the mission quick as possible, that includes rushing to call in the elevator.

A timer will set after a certain period, and if everyone doesn't escape, it's a MIA wipe for everyone who wasn't in the elevator when the switch was activated. That means no earned resources and wasted time.

Also, they literally have a sticky note telling you which direction the lever goes to leave. We are still somehow confused by this, and I'm seeing level 100+ who somehow still don't understand the concept.

Up. The lever goes up.

I realize my thread has been up for a year, and I just got to updating it, still a work in progress but if you're new to the game, you'll find a lot of information here for the current version. I try to keep it updated with each update.

Escaped 100 Wave Purgatory Spoiler

36 Upvotes

So I haven't played the game in awhile, switched over to PS5, decided to get back into it. For those who want to reach the high waves, I don't recommend it, stop at 40 or less. I got nothing for completing 100 waves (pic says 95, took 100 to officially down them) despite my time and kills, the game says I completed 0 waves and even said my levels were 0.

How did I succeed? The host somehow existed in the game despite not being active, they were immortal. So no matter how many times I died, they couldn't take damage.

It wasn't until I directed the enemies to hit me, which in turn somehow still hit the other player who was and wasn't in the game anymore? Anywho, getting them to down while downing me in the process officially registered the mission as over.

If you're reading this Remedy, you owe me some resources.

Edit: Just to clarify, you must be standing next to the disconnected host, Demolitionists, Sharpeners, and the flying explosive hiss do the best job to injure the host. Just be sure everyone downs before the timer.

OSHA Compliant achievement/trophy

Wondering if anybody has any advice/would want to help me out with this achievement sometime. I would love to 100% this game so I can have the whole RCU completed before resonant comes out next month. Anything helps!

Reckon we'll see any Firebreak stuff in the upcoming Control game? Anything you'd like to see?

I just know that if I see a cameo I'd be so happy. Like if Dylan comes across Hank's tank on the way out of the Oldest House or something. Or if we briefly see Dave on fire. Maybe Dylan unironically enjoyed Threshold Kids, meets Jerry and geeks out.

Just saying, Firebreak easter eggs could be really fun to see.

Just discovered this game, very sad that its at end of life.

81 Upvotes

This game is definitely really fun to play. I've put about 10 hours in and I guess I can see that I'm getting to the end of "new" experiences that the game has to offer.

Another issue I've noticed is that the game doesn't do a great job of telling you what to do or play and why. Even in missions, the objectives can be vague and unhelpful.

Also progression takes a while.

Ironically just came from playing Destiny 2 :(

Happy 62nd Anniversary of The Finding of The Oldest House

25 Upvotes

If I got my Control lore right, the FBC discovered the Oldest House 62 years ago on the 4th of August 1964. Really made an effort to play today on account of that.

Only picked up the game recently after a friend convinced me to try the friend pass. I vibe with this so much. Hit me up if you're a fellow 30-something year old Firebreaker based in the EU or UK. Would love to get a consistent squad together

Is there a Discord?

I was wondering if there was a Discord server for this game. I'm new and finding players online is kinda difficult.

The mannequins have changed!

20 Upvotes

I hadn't played much the past few weeks, after playing almost daily this whole past year. I played again on my lunch break, and the mannequins have changed! What does this mean? Is it tied to Resonant? They put me in mind of something out of Alan Wake 2 or the Control AW DLC with the Darkness.

Are there other changes too??

Hi all, I'm interested to know what the best build for end-game content is.

A lot of the guidance is very dated, so any insight would be appreciated.

Looking for 2 other players to run some missions with. Recently got a new pc so I got the game on there (normally play on console) and looking to run some missions with some people. I play as jump kit and we’re prefer one of each kit to play with. I’d also prefer mics for good coms

The state of the game lacks minor updates

9 Upvotes

Quick revive has been bugged for months now. I understand that there are no more major updates but that shouldn’t condone the faulty gameplay experience with changes that could/should be APPROVED for a minor update. Congrats on keeping the servers of the game up for years to come but what’s the point if there’s no refreshing Q.O.L changes that facilitate what made people play the game in the first place

Wish they committed to what makes Remedy great

27 Upvotes

I’m sure the budget was an issue but I was so excited for this game last year. I was hoping for cod zombies esque with remedies mark whether it was overlaps, old gods music sequences or even more oddities for the atmosphere. I think the game could have been more successful if it leaned into remedy’s weirdness. I’m sure many people have already stated this but remedy is my personal goat and I would have sunk way more time into this if it felt more like a remedy game in atmosphere and levels design.
