My rankings of every single R2 gun after playing the game for over 100 hours and Awakening twice.

To keep this short, I'll save detailed explanations for comments if people have questions. But my rankings in particular are most swayed by the guns sights, whether it's in the spirit of the game, and an intangible "fun factor". I don't put a lot of emphasis on malfunctions because unless it's obvious it has more that aren't just RNG.

For the mod guns, every single mod seems to work as intended and I had zero bugs, the rankings are not based on whether the mod was good or bad, everyone did a good job with the gun mods.

Anyway for Vanilla rankings:

1. Sig
2. Beretta
3. Glock
4. Desert Eagle
5. 1911
6. Colt Single Action
7. Both double action revolvers (seem to work about the same)
8. Hi-Point

For modded+vanilla rankings

1. Stryke B
2. Mossberg
3. Sig
4. AR410
5. Beretta
6. FN 5-7
7. Makarov
8. Glock
9. Desert Eagle
10. M45A1
11. 1911
12. MP -18
13. Colt single action
14. Margolin .22
15. Double action revolvers
16. MP9
17. STM-9
18. MR223
19. MP5N
20. G36C
21. SR25
22. Hi point

Would love to hear from other people what their opinions are!

I have almost all records on the p226 except for a couple. I’m confused about the trigger to the p226 trophy. Does it mean shoot 5 turrets as in shoot a total of 5 turrets while switching mini games without ejecting the magazine? Or does it mean you have to start and finish each individual mini game and for each one, shoot 5 turrets without electing the magazine?

I’ve done both and neither has triggered it. Some clarification would be nice.

I dumped about 18 hours into this game some 4 years ago, in 2021. I would get to Limnal and always, always die. Must have played upwards of 20 times. Eventually I just gave up and quit playing in complete frustration. Decided to pick it up again yesterday and went straight from Baseline to Awakened in one go, no deaths.

I had absolutely 0 idea how to use the Colt SAA when I got it, so I had to experiment for a few minutes just to get the hang of it. There was about 5 seconds of abject horror as I hear the sound of a nearby tape on the final level and started looking for it. I did not yet know about the cowboy load, and so the moment I missed a jump onto a vent I shot myself in the leg. Didn't die, thank the Lord, and a minute later I awakened.

In the VR beta, it seems you can't enter the Receiver Compound and can only do The Dreaming. Is there a way to get to the compound in VR?

Is this anyone else's favorite stage? I understand the progression of the environment with the story in the later stages, but MAN they had something with the asleep stage's environment. It's so creepy in a way that most horror games just don't do for me and you spend a good chunk of time in it when figuring out the mechanics of the semi autos.

Finally ascending from baseline for the first time, only to have the hopeful synths drop into a quiet but dissonant chord as the game hands you a new pistol with brand new mechanics you have to deal with. You spawn into a room you probably recognize with little to no lights and now you have to fumble around with a flashlight.

Nothing feels right. The darkness just makes the map layout that much more uncanny, turning on the lights barely calms your nerves as the dim flickering lighting exposes impossibly dark spots. The tapes you pick up go from beautiful, somewhat exotic and heroic in baseline to high pitched, jeering, almost ghostlike. There's a good chance this is where you'll hear your first threat tape, going from expository tapes on story and weapons and some self help tapes to hearing a suicide note in the dark, and watching your gun turn on yourself on it's own and fireing, killing you and sending you back to baseline, leaving you wondering what the fuck kind of game you just bought because it had cool realistic guns, and what the next 3 stages are going to bring.

Not to mention you have no idea yet what kind of enemy might be lurking around the corner or how to defend yourself from it. I can't lie, the drones weren't that freaky to me after shooting one and it basically exploding with one shot, maybe a little jump at the sleeping turrets, but the paranoia of something, or someone, else lurking stuck for a while afterwards.

It genuinely feels like a nightmare. The weird little nightmare world with unknown enemies and strange sounds and you have a weapon that you don't really know how to use that keeps malfunctioning when you need it most.

100 hours in and I'm still a little freaked out sometimes playing the asleep stage at night.

I enjoy the rest of the game for what it is and all that but I wonder sometimes what the game would've been like if Wolfire expanded on the pure horror vibe that the Asleep stage brings.

Tl;dr: the asleep stage is fantastic atmospheric horror in a way I've never felt from any other horror game.

I played the game on windows flawlessly but a few months ago I swapped to Linux after getting fed up of windows. I've installed the game and it boots up but half way through the load screen after the title screen it freezes up and stops responding.

I've tried running via proton but it kills performance (7fps on low settings)

Is this a known thing with an easy fix? Are there any basic fixes I can try?

GUNS ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO JAM EVERY ROUND

YEARS OF DEALING WITH TRASH THAT RUSSAINS WOULD LOVE, NO USE FOUND

WANTED TO KILL PEOPLE WITH SHITTY GUNS THAT SHOULD BE INCINERATED? WE HAD THAT IT WAS CALLED A RUSSAIN SERVICE AK

"Yes please making something so ass i cant even kill my self cuz it jams" STATEMENT DREAMED UP BY THE UTTERLY INSANE

LOOK AT WHAT Hi-Point Firearms HAVE BEEN DEMANDING YOUR USAGE OF ALL THIS TIME, WITH THE HELL TURRETS WE BUILD FOR THEM

"Hello i would like a really shitty club to beat people with, but i want to call it a gun"

They have played us for absolute fools

Hello!

Does anyone have a high quality version of the Receiver 2 soundtrack cover? The one with the buildings that look like guns.

Thanks!

I'm using a Google Home connected via Bluetooth as a speaker for my PC. Every time I boot up receiver 2, the audio never works. I check the in game audio settings, I check my speaker settings, I check the Bluetooth connection and only restarting my computer fixes it. Does anyone know a solution to this issue? I have never had any audio issues with any other game or software

Genuine question, I'm unsure if it's just a weird bug or if it's a quirk actual guns have (I live in the UK lol) or if it's just a part of the dreaming etc. I only really play the game in the Compound so it's something I've always wondered lol, it happening with the Hi-Point is what actually prompted this post

Hey ya'll, I'm relatively new to Receiver, only got upto about Sleepwalker difficulty

I just picked up a hand with an illuminati symbol on it and I'm kinda lost. :/

Any tips??
