When is the completion timer counting?

Kadir last edited by
In order to get the last skull in a level, your completion time must beat the par time for that level. When is the timer to determine your completion time counting?

Does it count when:
- Selecting equipment (When the message "Press B key to select your traps" is on-screen)?
- Building traps between waves and at the beginning?
- In the pause menu?

As per this

Yeah, the initial setup is off the clock but once the first wave starts the clock keeps going through the breaks including the ones where you press G to continue. The pause menu and the weaver menu (as you noted) do stop the clock.

Other resources have also confirmed this. In summation:
- Initial setup is not part of completion time.
- The pause menu is not part of completion time.
- Everything else until you complete the level is part of your completion time.

A combination of the crossbow with the upgrade that grants mana on a headshot, and the frost bracelet (seriously a very powerful tool, I never slay orcs without it) will allow you to stunlock multiple ogres indefinitely, while also holding them perfectly still allowing for easy headshots (as opposed the the crossbow's secondary fire where they sway their heads). In combination with a fully upgraded crossbow, you can hold an ogre perfectly still and take it down in 3-5 headshots, normally before the frozen state is even broken, and if it does break, you can just freeze them again. This works even better if you use the secondary fire and have upgraded the bracelet to make enemies frozen by your secondary fire take more damage. Not only will it freeze many many orcs and ogres, but it lasts much longer (I think it's over 5 seconds) and they will take more damage as well. The only problem with this strategy is frost ogres, who are immune to the bracelet. In this case, you're just going to have to stunlock it with your crossbow's secondary fire, and aim at the moving head. There is no other weapon that kills as quickly as multiple headshots from the crossbow.

Do you have the 'Are We There Yeti?' dlc? If so, I believe what you are experiencing is the Goblin Sapper. The Goblin Sapper, introduced in the Are We There Yeti? DLC, is a small fast-moving enemy that attempts to disable certain Traps by sprinting to them and exploding. They behave similar to Kobold Sappers, although they deal no damage to the player. Notes Goblin Sappers are more damage-resistant than their Kobold counterparts, but they are vulnerable to lightning damage. A Lightning Ring is very effective at taking out groups of these enemies. When the Goblin Sapper explodes, it disables any traps within 1-3 blocks of the explosion for 10 seconds. The afflicted traps will be surrounded by electric auras. Some traps, such as Brimstone and Shock Zapper, will lose their stored charge, and will only recharge after the disable effect wears off. Using the Trap Reset Trinket will restore any disabled traps to full operational status. Source: http://orcsmustdie.wikia.com/wiki/Goblin_Sapper

Cutting off a zombie's legs with the leg sweep kill will render the zombie immobile, harmless, and lead to it's death within 10 seconds. While not as immediate as an execution the zombie will die. For this reason the leg sweep is considered very useful as it's faster and more flexible than the decapitation specialization while producing the same results.

Here are the differences I've found so far (all of these are exclusive, so there's no unlocking the starting items of the other character): War mage has more health, while Sorceress has more mana War mage starts with a shotgun, while Sorceress starts with a staff War mage starts with the Tar-trap and Arrow Wall, while Sorceress starts with the Ice Trap and Acid Sprayer. Later in the game, War Mage unlocks a hammer while Sorceress unlocks a Polymorph Ring The War Mage can purchase the Healing Well while the Sorceress can purchase the Mana Well. After beating the game on War Mage difficulty.. The war mage gains the ability to double-jump, while the Sorceress unlocks "Feather-fall" (gliding). (These abilities, by the way, have lead me to discover many glitches due to reaching otherwise unreachable areas...)

The answer to this is dependent on which package your class has. Earning points: Kills with weapons (primary, secondary, and attachments) Kills with lethal equipment (ie, grenades, C4, mines) Destroying enemy equipment (ie, shooting down a UAV or helicopter) Completing objectives (ie, capturing the flag) This is different from previous Call of Duty games, and they call them "pointstreaks" instead of "killstreaks" for this reason. You earn credit for far more objectives in this game than you used to. Strike packages: Support - You do not gain points towards your pointstreak for players killed from previous pointstreak rewards. However, the pointstreak does not reset when you die. Assault - You do gain points towards your pointstreak for players killed from previous pointstreak rewards, as long as you use them in the same life in which you get them. (Care package rewards are the exception to this) However, your pointstreak resets on death, and pointstreak rewards from previous lives do not give points towards a new pointstreak chain. Specialist - Instead of pointstreak rewards, you gain new perks when you make kills. Getting past the top of this chain will give you every perk, but the perks reset to the default for your class when you die. Other modifiers: Hardline reduces your requirements for each pointstreak by 1. If you'd normally unlock a pointstreak at 4 kills, you'd unlock it at 3. This is most beneficial for lower-tier pointstreak rewards. Hardline Pro makes it so that 2 assists count as one "kill" for the purposes of a pointstreak. You can get assists for flashing, stunning, or wounding enemies that die shortly afterwards. This can be extraordinarily powerful if you're smart with your tactical grenades. The assists from the Recon Drone tags don't count for this, however.

According to a lot of sites (ZeldaInformer for example), completing the compendium unlocks a dialogue with Symin at the Ancient Tech Lab. He then gives you a 'Classified Envelope' with 'a picture of a beautiful young woman of the Sheikah tribe in it.' No one knows what it is used for right now, but some expect it to be useful in a future DLC.

Not only does it count as a loss, you also get a ban for disconnecting while playing Competitive somewhere between 30 Minutes and 7 Days, unless you are able to reconnect to the game within 5 minutes. The length of the ban depends on your previous record and will get longer over time. I can only recommend not to play Competitive if your internet connection is not stable enough to hold one full game of a maximum amount of 90-100 minutes. There is no way the game can tell if a disconnect is intentional or not, so there are measures in place to punish notorious leavers.

When you delete a floor, be it a residential or commercial unit, the floor returns to empty status and is available for you to build something new. The button in-game says "delete" which has a slightly different connotation than the confirmation dialog which says "demolish". Either way, you're really just removing the current floor usage.

You can't buy any traps or weapons that are naturally unlocked through the story with skulls. You can see what is and isn't available for purchase in your spellbook. Where most traps have the number of skulls needed to purchase them, story unlocks have a little shield that will show what is needed to unlock them upon mouseover. Your friend is either lying or he's mis-remembering something. Perhaps he purchased an upgrade for them, seeing as how they are unlocked very early in the story.

Yes, you do not have to extract yourself, as long as someone else of the team does extract (so the mission should not fail). I know this, because I got a progress banner ("6/10 extractions") in the lower right of the screen after extraction, where I died. This banner is only showed when there is an advancement.

Yes The simple way is to use a timer with a ridiculously long time set. However, since you can only increment the time 10 seconds at a time, this would require 4320 clicks. A bit much. We can do better with a simple circuit that uses maths to extend the time between pulses. The number of seconds we want to count is 43200. This can be expressed as 2^6 x 3^3 x 5^2, or 64 x 27 x 25. These three coprime numbers can be used as the times on three timers, with the results anded together. They will then only all pulse in step once every 12 hours. All you need to do then is sync the timers by powering them on from the same line to disable them, and then powering them all off at the same time.

Yes. Due to the fact that bonus skulls can be achieved over and over again (unlike the skulls for completing a level, which are only achieved the first time you get that amount of skulls), you can theoretically receive more skulls than you need to unlock everything. This means that if you've 4 skulled a level, and then you 5 skull it and also get 5 bonus skulls, you'll receive 6 skulls. If you then complete the level again and again you 5 skull it with 5 bonus skulls, you'll now receive 5 skulls which are the 5 bonus skulls which you will always be able to receive.

+1 to Kelox for the grinder, as this is by far the most effective way to deal with both kobolds and sappers. However, because of their short range, they are not always an option, so here are a few other options: Tar pits. The tar pits slow kobolds down to about the speed of a normal orc, which slows them down enough for your other traps to hit them. These are especially effective with the ceiling-mace - a single ceiling-mace with tar-tiles below it will kill all kobolds and weak/medium orcs (and heavy orcs, with upgrades) if you can force them to walk along the length of the mace, leaving only trolls/ogres to deal with. Barricades + Grinders. If the hallway is too wide, you can force enemies to walk near the grinders using barricades. Note that this only works in a level without sappers, as sappers will destroy the barricades. Traps with long range will hit them when placed parallel to their movement (rather than perpendicular like usual). For instance, place arrow-traps on the wall they face just before they turn a corner. Archers are extremely good at taking out smaller enemies like Kobolds and Sappers. They're only useful when they can be placed far enough away that they won't be attacked. Also, be wary on levels with Gnoll Hunters, as they will go out of their way to kill your Archers. Kill them manually. If you are good at shooting, get a fast-shooting weapon (like the sorceress's staff, or the crossbow) and take them out yourself. And if your aim isn't so good, using the alchemist's satchel (which does splash in a large radius) can be very effective in taking out large groups of kobolds - made even more effective with tar-pits, since the kobolds will group up The shock-zapper and brimstone will also kill them, but (as you found out) are not particularly effective at it.

When Tripwire announced the patriarch and put him in Killing Floor 2, they announced that each map would have a 50/50 chance for either the patriarch or Volter. Tripwire wanted the final boss to be a toss up each round, so players do not know and strategize for a specific boss. This uncertainty adds a bit of difficulty to Killing Floor 2, which already is no walk in the park. For reference, pcgamer published an article for the patriarch announcement.
