Advanced Stealth Techniques — GTFO Guide

Learn the optimal routes and enemy encounters for ALT://R1B1 PID Search in GTFO. Master the Gather Items objective and secure your escape.

Alright, let's dive into ALT://R1B1, also known as PID Search. This is your first real taste of the 'Gather Items' objective, which means you'll be hunting down specific collectibles – in this case, 12 Personnel IDs (PIDs) – before you can even think about escaping. Don't worry, it's not as daunting as it sounds, and you actually have a few different paths you can take. We'll walk through the best options to make sure you grab those PIDs without biting off more than you can chew.

Objectives:

Your main goal is to find 12 Personnel IDs scattered across the zones. There are a total of 18 available, so you don't need to explore every single area. The trick is figuring out the most efficient route. You've got a few choices:

1. Option 1: Zones 43, 44, and 45. This is a solid route if you want to tackle some tougher zones together.
• First up is Zone 43, which kicks off a CLASS II ALARM. Get in there and start collecting those PIDs. Keep an eye out for a Colored Key in this zone; it's super important for accessing other areas later.
• Next, you'll push into Zone 44, a CLASS III ALARM zone. More PIDs await!
• Finally, brave Zone 45, another CLASS III ALARM. Grab the remaining PIDs here.
2. Option 2: Zones 41 and 42. This route is a bit more straightforward in terms of enemy threat, but you'll need to be mindful of the Scouts.
• Head into Zone 41 and start your PID hunt.
• Then, move on to Zone 42. Remember, both these zones have a Scout lurking, so be ready to deal with them quietly or quickly.
3. Option 3: Zones 39 and 40. This is where that Colored Key from Zone 43 comes in handy. If you don't grab it, you can't access these zones.
• Once you have the key, enter Zone 39 and start collecting PIDs.
• Then, proceed to Zone 40 for more PIDs. Be warned: these two zones are packed with Giants and Big Shooters, so come prepared for a serious fight.

Once you've bagged at least 12 PIDs, just make your way back to the entrance and extract. Easy peasy, right?

Recommended Route:

For a smoother run, especially if you're trying to avoid the absolute toughest fights while still getting enough PIDs, we suggest this path: Start with Zone 43 (grab that Colored Key!), then push into Zone 44, followed by Zone 41 and Zone 42. This combination usually gives you enough PIDs to complete the objective without needing to brave the heavily guarded Zone 39 and Zone 40, or the high-alarm Zone 45.
