That left/right door handle is a game changer. Since mansion maps are known for Jesters

[@blatantslander]

So true yeah

[@nitro365365]

Left-handed door handle trick is mindblowing. Just further solidifying Rend as the best moon

[@chonkydog6262]

titan is still the best

Absolutly not ​@@chonkydog6262

[@meepswag35]

@@chonkydog6262titan isn’t the best, due to how dangerous it is, it has much higher Mob cap, and it’s too large. Also rend has the nutcracker as the most common spawn, meaning that you can farm shotguns for tons of money. There’s a reason the highest quota runs basically exclusively use rend

My favourite thing about sticking to a wall is that it's great in case you encounter coilhead and you need to navigate backwards

[@peterbenoni1470]

I hadn't even considered this. Great thinking.

[@boomeranger9173]

babe wake up new wurps vid just dropped

[@I401]

if i recall, with facility, you can open the doors to find the main. If your in main and going deeper, the doors open away from you, but if your going to main they open towards you. However, loot rooms are a different breed and seem to have a different door orientation and just screw everything up. Now in my limited testing i did always find my way back with this strategy, but some rooms can completely negate this

[@Blackrobe]

If we can list down kind of rooms that does not follow the "door opens towards you = return" rule, imo we will find the pattern

[@Shiraraxi]

formula to finding direction with facility: find two loot rooms with a door - doorswing leads to main (lootrooms count as any room that isn’t a brickroom)

[@co5micwaffle742]

Two walkway rooms (grate floor) connected by a door: door points towards main Two hallway rooms (stone floor) connected by a door: door points towards main Walkway into loot room (any room with white flooring except for big room and apparatus room) connected by a door: door points towards main Hallways connected to loot rooms don't mean anything Hallways connected to walkways don't mean anything Apparatus doors always open into the room Big room doors don't mean anything

[@mistyotr4631]

and they can

[@drplantboss9281]

I've told everyone I play with the "follow the wall" technique because that's how you solve mazes. Since the interior is a maze, it was simply logical to use that both to not get lost, and also to help structure my looting.

[@near5148]

I use that technique for games with mazes it's a good technique

[@trishSilly]

i do this sometimes when inversing, it’s a good strategy but sucks whenever dead ends show up, a lot of time and stamina wasting

[@Kwauhn.]

It's a solid last resort, but is often also the most inefficient way since hugging the wall can take significant detours over the optimal rout back.

[@Nova32x]

[@GDCytosine]

I never, ever would've thought the door handles in the mansion layout would have such an impact. Honestly combining all three strategies is really nice, 'cause you'll inevitably get separated from your friends away from the spray paint and forget which wall you were following

[@Tenvalmestr]

Technically it makes a bit of sens for the side of the door handle, because the side they're in show where they would open (left side toward the new room, right side toward the current room). Since all the doors tends to open toward the room closer to main, well... If it's right, it opens toward your room, so it means it's not the correct path toward the main entrance. But I agree with you, it's funny that the door happens to behave like this. It's useful though... I hope it won't be patched !

[@shaclown7721]

We already did the "keep to the left/right" strategy. The spray paint tip is simple but VERY effective. I can't count how many times i got chased by something and got lost in the facility, scared to death of not finding my way out while facing my inevitable death. This would've saved me so many times!

[@gotem10]

People in Bread’s discord (another lethal youtuber) had already been theorizing with the way doors swing in relation to the main entrance. From what I can tell you can use the trick on facility maps but the door has to be in between two hallway sections or two loot rooms or it doesn’t work. There are also a couple other edge cases and the facility does have a higher chance for weird generation that would cause the trick to not work. But in theory, it could be useable in a run.

[@gotem10]

It looks like Bread just released a full video on the door strat if anyone is interested. He showcases it in mansions and the facility.

[@TwoPointInfinity]

what a god tier outro.

[@clydeellis6569]

Great strategies! been using the wall system but the handles is amazing

[@DOGGIFY]

A note about spray paint: taking notes of dead ends can bite you as you go moon to moon, because spray paint stays on the walls between sessions on the client. That is why I strictly use it for navigation out and back. That way the dots will typically remain useful even if they show up again. The way I do it is dots on the left wall as I have "left" that way when I come "right" on home, all I have to do is follow dots on the right. This can work for branching paths and mazes with no doors.

[@luminousdelight5097]

Dont the walls get despawned when you leave, how is that supposed to work unless you get the exact same mapseed

[@amurr682]

Actually a very fire tip

[@Wurps]

Wasn't that fixed somewhat recentlyish? I don't use paint very often in practice, did you find this happening recently?

[@khoonsta]

​@@Wurpsit still happens very often. For the record, we only go through rend, so we havent tested in a factory layout

[@Okagemi]

@@khoonsta Yeah, the patch notes said that it was fixed, but it still happens. It isn't as egregious, I suppose? But it's still jarring because you'll randomly find spray patterns in locations that they shouldn't be. It definitely still happens in factory as well.

[@Fluxuation]

You should SERIOUSLY consider making independent item guide videos with strategies. I see so, SO many people saying some items are shit/dunno what they do. Stuff like the radar booster or inverse comes to mind

[@commentsaretrue4570]

The door handle one is actually crazy useful. Thanks

[@Sound_Tech]

I mean, you could use the same system for the door handles as your spray paint system, left side of the door is exit, right side goes deeper. Same for the maze sections, marking the right wall as you go deeper, it'll be on your left side when you come back out.

[@breytonpabst1009]

I think somewhere spray paint shines is routing a weekly moon because you will want to try and loot the majority of the moon and completely clear areas

[@comedyman2817]

Absolute game changer right here

Im so glad I have finally found a way to

[@DKrothy]

I like the spray tip! usually I would spray only on the right side of walls/doors so if my friends saw the spray on their left... that means they would be going back to an Exit! but the dots seems a lot easier! will start doing that!

Super helpful (also the random gold bar made me laugh)

[@amateurishauthor2202]

for the spraycan I use my old Minecraft mining technique for never getting lost. Torch (paint) on the left side. Dead Ends get it on both sides, that way when you are running back you look for doors with dots on the right side.

[@UltraMikaHD]

Casual gold bar 😅

[@leoporyadin]

Rend just becomes better and better

[@jc_art_]

Seriously yeah. I have no idea why people like the dangerous, turret filled, expensive, frequent facility map, with a bunch of two handed cheap metal scrap, HELL that is Titan. Sure rend is pretty much garunteed to have Jester, masked, and nutcracker, but those are all relatively easy to deal with. Hell if youre good enough at dealing with them, nutcrackers are basically the snow planet equivalent of a bee hive. Id say by far the worst thing about rend is its fire exit, but even thats not thaat bad, i mean atleast its far enough away from main to be an actual alternative route instead of just being right next to it (cough, titan, cough). Rend is an underated, turret free, expensive scrap full, threatless paradise. And its the cheapest of the three moons. Truly the lethal company equivalent of paradise

[@RazakelKairo1994]

@@jc_art_ If anything I might argue at this point that Rend's fire exit is actually pretty good. The track back is safer than it looks, and if, by some wild chance, someone spawns there like a Giant, the exit's very well covered to allow you to flee and not be camped as hard.

[@leoporyadin]

@@jc_art_ someone prefer dine in the reason of close fire exit to the ship, but rend's is not too far, if you go on top of the cliff and carefully fall into crack, and it's not need the ladder or precise jumps

[@jc_art_]

@@leoporyadin yeah after yesterday me going fire exit on rend a bunch of times i can confidentally say that the fire exit on rend is the easiest to get to, out of rend and dine. The path back is just memorization, but other moons have that as well (vow, march, and maybe some others), so once you learn the path it just becomes second nature, similar to the shortcut to main. For main just walk to the left of the ship past the rocks, walk past the house still on the left face, then follow the hill to main, its about 2/3rds faster than following the lights. For fire exit just go straight out of the ship with a slight leftward angle, and follow the hill along the back right side, then fall into the ravine. To get out just turn right from fire exit and go up, then follow the edge of the ravine then the edge of the hill just like you did to get in, then walk straight once you see the last light from the main path. Super simple imo, and maybe theres faster ways i dont know about, i havent tried everything

[@gr.4380]

I wonder if wurps is still on that [lethal company grind]

I do already use the second one and would use the third one but we usually don't get spray paint. the door handle trick is hella weird but very useful for mansion maps

Ayo first! Nice new vid dropped from Wurps!

[@treygc3291]

I have good situational awareness so instead of sticking to the wall I know which direction I go such as always taking the leftmost area and when I need to turn around I know I follow the right

[@jackthorndyke3390]

Bro this is exactly like minecraft stronghold navigation, I love it

[@julianhernandez5732]

Is there a trick I’m not aware of?

[@jackthorndyke3390]

@@julianhernandez5732 there's a bit more to it but basically the part where you can tell where the entrance is based on the doors. Strongholds similarly generate from the starter staircase outwards. It's easier to find the portal room from the starter staircase, so if you enter the structure in a random spot, you can look at the doors to find your way there. If the door is on the far side of the block, you're going to the start, and if it's on the close side, you're going further out.

[@cafeclimb3274]

Did 100 inverse teleport solo Rend runs (disclaimer: 100 is not big enough number.. need MANY thousands). 13/100=death (8 times locked in, 4 times rule exception makes me lost for too long , 1 time a monster kill straight up kills me). 87/100 the outcome was positive. 12/100 i spawn in a place where the rule doesn't work (left handle doors dont lead to Main, instead they lead to a staircase which may lead to a deadend).

[@doppss]

The first trick can also be done with looking at where the door is pointed at, doors always point to main

[@taliesinmusic]

ahhh, you mean specifically in a N,E,S,W direction. So if you head in the general direction that the LH door is facing you should find main.

Hey Wurps love your vids can we please get a in depth guide for taking down Nutcrackers?

[@qwertyqwerty-ek7dy]

Funnily enough the mansion is built in the Finnish legal standard when it comes to the doors. It's a fire safety thing. The doors are supposed to open towards the nearest exit in case of a fire. It's because people might panic and push the door while trying to get out. If the door would open inward a group of people might trap themselves in a panic.

[@qwertyqwerty-ek7dy]

I think something like this happened in a church waaay back. People kept pushing the door and trapping the people in the front without realising it was a "pull" and not a "push".

[@orionhills364]

Left handle is going to be so good

[@lukasthompson9160]

there is also another way of telling whether you are going deeper or closer to main and its where the door opens if the door opens towards you you are going deeper if it opens away from you you are going closer to main

[@zara5023]

Do you carry items deeper into the facility? Just asking because my strat is to wallhug while leaving items behind me so they don't weigh me down while I explore and so I can then pick them up on the way out. Also, if I die they're closer to the entrance and easier for my teammates to get.

[@haveaniceday42069]

NGL the door handle thing is a complete game changer. My crew never goes to Rend or Dine bc all but one of us are lost after two door ways on the mansion lol. So if that guy dies it's like a 90% chance we get wiped. Those maps aren't useless anymore, yay!

[@bayobayo]

I've accidentally used the spray paint trick at my first go solo AND may have discovered a slight danger because of it? At least I haven't found anyone talking about it so please feel free to share. So as much as I love open world games, I'm always afraid of getting lost because I forget my way easily. So I leave breadcrumbs for me to find that leads back to home. Ex. Torches for Minecraft. I leave a trail of torches to my right side so when I need to go back home, I just make sure that torches are always at my left. With LC my system is similar: 1 spray to the right of a door or wall means this is the path from main, so make sure it's on your left when going back. 2 sprays means dead end. 3 means DONT DEAD OPEN INSIDE. So color me surprised when after a several in-game days of using the paint, I FIND PAINT THAT I DIDNT SPRAY ON THE WALLS. I legit had to question myself so many times. Did I or did I not go through here?? Did I or did I not put this there?? But this time I was SURE I didn't. So I tested it for the next day, leaving the paint in the ship, and to and behold the sprays still spawn. It's not as frequent as when I would do it, but it clued me that the game might actually be recycling assets in every File? Because when I start a new File (game) it stopped. I hope this is helpful to someone! It definitely helped me get out of my comfort zone and exercise my spatial awareness more, but having the door handle trick will also come in handy now. 😊

[@bayobayo]

I've considered making a video on it but LC has been my comfort/relaxation game recently, so I didn't really have the energy to do it 😂 but if anyone wants to do it by all means please feel free to do so. I'd rather the info spreads so that people are aware before it bites them in the ass too late. 😂

my issue with (vanilla) spray paint is sometimes there's a bug where it stays in the facility (even between moons) between days unless the host reloads the save This leads to areas being marked off as dead ends when they aren't, and sometimes the marks back to the main entrance just won't lead anywhere I love the spray paint, but until the dev fixes it staying until a rehost, I won't be using it in any vanilla games :/
