Oh shit, time to be world  1st "real" winnersof santa.

By "win act 3," do you mean extreme truth or just act 3? Because these rewards sound kinda underwhelming for extreme truth being what it is.

I'm gonna be really busy this Saturday so I won't be able to make it. I HIGHLY suggest that whoever is gonna lead go offline and try to find some strats to beat Extreme Act III. This event will not be beaten unless we can find a consistent way of beating the bosses, not dying to npcs, etc.

 

For example on CSS they found that the M249 does higher damage to bosses and npcs per shot than other guns so bosses melt really quickly. There also is a spot where Big Santa wont detect humans for the HP multiplier so it has like 2000 HP and dies instantly. None of these should apply to CSGO but if we can find something as good as that, the event may be a success.

 

I wish all of you who come to this event good luck beating probably the most difficult ze map ever made.

That hp bug got fixed in cs go, also a leader cant make people dodge santa only personal skill can (we got to fat santa on gfl couple months ago but that was when gfl played santa every 4 hours) that being said only thing that can help the cs go version rn is a good cannon and peoples skill (also not having braindead heals helps since you can heal during 1st santa if you don't waste 1 heal). And vinz I know your pain hoho I won't be home that day cuz im on vacation so hoho

I love the glitch at final santa boss so good

[hotEvercLear 194 / 4,723]

just curious... 

 

Has anyone decompiled the map to understand the boss mechanics? is it total damage we are trying to reduce (so higher damage guns may be better, look at it from a DPS perspective) or is it just total shots that register on his hitboxes (meaning just get something accurate with a high rate of fire)

 

another question, I have been to the truth mode boss only one, and gotten to truth mode a few times. I have NEVER been in the server where enough people jump on the trigger for extreme mode. What does that do exactly? What makes it so extreme? do mountain dew cans suddenly start popping up everywhere, and the reindeer all suddenly get on skateboards and BMX bikes, and everyone wears a go pro and puts on a glide suite????

The bosses have actual HP based on the number of humans alive at the moment the boss fight starts. So theoretically you would want weapons with high DPS to bring down the boss, which explains why items like the rocket launcher and minigun deal a ton of damage to bosses. But due to bosses being extremely mobile, you wouldn't want to be using heavy weapons like the M249 or Negev. SMGs are preferable in this situation due to the lower recoil and higher walking velocity.

 

In extreme mode, the map layout is exactly the same but with a few differences. Visibility is greatly reduced, the skyline becomes black like how it looks like in the normal truth level. The reindeers in extreme prologue will slow down movement of humans, so its highly likely that you would get combo'ed to death if a group of reindeers are charging at you and you fail to dodge one. The 4-legged lizard looking monster from the normal truth level becomes the standard NPC mob from Extreme Prologue onwards. They are harder to kill and deal more damage than the beavers. This NPC is a huge problem in Extreme Act 1 where there is a higher rate of NPC spawns than the other acts. Extreme Act 2-3 shouldn't be much harder than the normal ones.

Bosses (at least skinny santa) are stronger than the old version, meaning that they are faster, deal more damage per hit and also have more hp.

As for tactics on boss as mjong said smg are superior because cs:go doesn't have the hp bug meaning we can't cheese and 1 shot the boss with high fire rate weapons aka negev m249 so we have to do it the old fashioned way.  And since cs:go (to my knowledge) has never beaten Fat santa and gotten to extreme truth we can't speculate on how to play there or if there are more mobs on different places etc, but i'd argue using 1 heal during small santa (we normally waste 1 heal so we can never use it on this part) and 1 heal during fat santa could be the best way of saving the most ppl (this one would be used after fat santa was killed or at the entrance to truth level.
