Players can choose primary weapons, a secondary weapon, a tool that helps in either defense or recon, and a melee weapon for stealth sequences. Everything is even field for all the players and your chances of survival will depend on what loadout you choose. One unique thing about GTFO is that there is no leveling system.

The experience with bots, as you can expect, is a bit bland, but then again, GTFO is all about coordinating with a group of real people and that’s where the fun lies. The bots will follow the player’s action for example, if you crouch, the bots will crouch, and if you engage with an enemy, the bots will do the same. The bots of GTFO allow for a more single-player focused experience for people who like to play games on their own. The system, although challenging, is welcoming, as it keeps the gameplay fresh.Īfter selecting the rundown, players can either host their own lobby and invite friends or join up other players via matchmaking, or even fill their lobby up with bots. Older rundowns get expired, so this brings an urgency of finishing your objectives within a limited period of time. To keep the gameplay loop fresh, rundowns of GTFO have time limits, where they get swapped with newer ones when the counter hits zero. The deeper the facility is for the rundown, the harder it is, so it is actually advisable to play them in order.

The rundowns have a number of expeditions over several tiers and each of them is denoted by the letters A, B, C, D, and so on, depending on the difficulty. Termed as rundowns, each one of them has a particular objective allocated by the Warden and are presented in the order in which they need to be finished. Once booted in, players get to choose the mission they want to try out. "One mistake can make the mission a nightmare." The facility is overrun by grotesque monsters and the prisoners have to scavenge for resources, all the while surviving their expedition. GTFO follows a team of four prisoners, who are sent to an abandoned underground research facility against their will by a mysterious individual called “The Warden”. Not much is told to the player once you boot into the game, even with regards to the setting and the story, but here’s the gist of it. The development team is composed of ex- Payday developers, so players may find some similarities in certain aspects of those games.

So, what is GTFO? It is a co-op first-person shooter inspired by the likes of Left 4 Dead, Payday 2 among others, where you and three other friends can team up to complete objectives, all the while ensuring the survival of your team.

Developer 10 Chamber’s GTFO is the complete opposite of that, as one mistake can make the mission a nightmare. While co-op shooters are all about teaming up and completing objectives one by one, they are also generally forgiving in nature.
