Lore and Easter Eggs

Your ultimate guide to GTFO's ALT://R1B1 expedition. Learn how to efficiently find Personnel IDs, manage resources, and overcome enemy threats with expert tips.

Alright, let's dive into ALT://R1B1, also known as PID Search. This is where GTFO starts throwing some curveballs, introducing the 'Gather Items' objective. Instead of just blasting through, you'll need to hunt down 12 Personnel IDs (PIDs) scattered across different zones. Don't worry, you don't have to clear every single zone, which is a nice break. Think of it as a scavenger hunt, but with way more teeth.

Objectives:

Your main goal is to collect 12 PIDs. The game gives you a few options on how to approach this:

• Option 1: Zones 43, 44, and 45. This is a pretty straightforward path. You'll hit a Class II alarm in Zone 43 and Class III alarms in Zones 44 and 45. Zone 43 also has a Colored Key that can unlock Zone 39 later if you decide to go that route.
• Option 2: Zones 41 and 42. These zones are a bit less intense alarm-wise, but be warned: both Zone 41 and Zone 42 have a Scout. Scouts are nasty, so be ready for them.
• Option 3: Zones 39 and 40. Accessing these zones requires the Colored Key from Zone 43. If you go this way, expect a heavy concentration of Giants and Big Shooters. Seriously, these zones are brutal, so make sure your team is geared up and ready for a serious fight.

Once you've nabbed those 12 PIDs, just head back to the start and extract. Easy peasy, right? Well, almost.

Recommended Path:

For a smoother run, I usually recommend hitting Zone 43 first to grab that Colored Key. Then push through Zone 44, followed by Zone 41 and Zone 42. This route usually nets you enough PIDs without needing to tackle the super-tough Zone 45, which has a Class III alarm. It's a good balance of risk and reward.

Resources per Zone:

Resource management is key in GTFO, and R1B1 is no exception. Here’s a general idea of what you’ll find:

As you can see, the earlier zones (like 38) are pretty sparse. The zones where you'll be hunting PIDs (39-45) are much more generous with ammo, meds, and tools, which you'll definitely need.

Enemy Types:

Expect a mix of familiar faces and some tougher customers:

• Striker, Shooter, Giant, Big Shooter: These are your bread-and-butter enemies. Keep your aim steady and your team communication tight.
• Scout: Watch out for these in Zones 41 and 42. They're fast and can alert other enemies, so prioritize taking them down quickly.

Good luck out there, Warden. Grab those PIDs and get out alive!
