https://steamproxy.com/steamstore/app/541200/GTTOD_Get_To_The_Orange_Door/

This section of the guide will teach you basics, movement, objectives and the likes.
If you're new to the game or haven't picked it up in a while, I highly recommend playing the prologue, or using the Igloo and messing around in Sandbox.

The guide has also been colour-coded based on importance and meaning, those being:

• Blue is for general out-of-game information or miscellaneous
  
• Orange is for in-game objects and locations
  
• Green is for inventory and items
  
• Purple is for player upgrades and buffs
  
• Red is for combat-related stuff, like weapons and gear

Before starting though, I heavily recommend adjusting these two gameplay settings. Wall Magnetisim adjusts how close you have to be to a wall to wallrun, and Aim Assist is how close you have to shoot for a hit to count.

Don't have to set them to the same values here, mess around and see what works for you!





The goal of GTTOD is simple, as its literally in its name, to Get To The Orange Door. Of course, there are other side-objectives that take priority too.

Looting levels is the main way for you to gain ammo, shards, health, keys, etc. With keys, you can take them to a Bunker Door to open it and find better loot inside.

During your runs, you will also find Jade Vines, which are used to permanently upgrade your character and unlock new rewards.

This is the primary gameplay loop of GTTOD, loot, shoot, and get to the door.




GTTOD is a roguelike movement shooter, meaning you'll want to be playing the game at a fast pace. Utilise your movement by keeping up wallruns, double jumps, dashes, and whatever else you can think of.

Staying above enemies and keeping up a fast pace will generally make you harder to hit. Remember to also loot the levels, as it'll help provide you with resources for upgrading.

If you've played games like Titanfall 2, this should feel somewhat familiar to you.





Going around levels, you'll find yellow lootable containers in the form of vehicles, bins, dumpsters, etc.

You can interact with these either by going up to them and interacting or by shooting them to be given a handful of shards, health and ammo.

Shards are the main currency of the game, just about everything costs shards, and you'll get them from looting the environment, killing enemies, selling stuff, and various different sources.

There is a small chance you'll also get Keys from lootable containers, which are used to open open up bunkers, which house guns, equipment, player upgrades and more. There is also a guaranteed key in every level, with exceptions for bosses, dungeons, and The Tavern.

You'll also come across Jade Vines, most often from Leyline Offerings, the end of level reward. These are a cross-run currency used for permanent player upgrades.







Upon pressing TAB, you will open the Weapon Inventory. This is where you see your current weapons, apparel, blessings and curses, etc.

Press L CLICK on a weapon to mark it as primary, and R CLICK to mark it as secondary, making it so you can scroll down to swap between the two. Hold L CLICK to move a weapon around the wheel, and hold R CLICK to drop it. You start out with 3 weapon slots later permanently upgradeable to 8, or temporarily mid-run with the Immersion Magnet item.

The icon in the middle is your Apparel slot, where your apparel item goes. Descriptions for Apparel, Karma and Items will be displayed over it if you click or hover over them.

Hover your mouse to the bottom of the Weapon Inventory to open up your Item Inventory, which will show any items you're holding at the time. You will also be able to see how many Jade Vines you are carrying at the top whilst hovering.





During runs, you'll be given Jade Vines. These are a cross-run currency and are used buy to permanent upgrades to your character and unlocking new future content. You'll be able to spend them when you're back in the hub at the start of a new run.

If you'd like more information, check out the Aspects section of the guide.


You can also stash away any weapons, items, equipment, or apparel you find in your Stash, aswell as deposit shards in 1000 increments, making them accessible for future runs. These are located back in the hub, and you can return to the hub to end your run with the Harbor Scroll item, found in Item Chests.


Card Packs will also grant you Gear Cards, which are consumable starting loadouts that can be used before the start of your run, accessible by the shop vendor, K8!

• Threat Level affects enemy spawns, types, and projectile speed. Keep moving around!
  
• Switching guns after a mag has been put in during a reload will finish it off-screen.
  
• Melee does not stop reloading, so feel free to swing to your hearts content.
  
• Using equipment does not interrupt a reload, so remember to use them!
  
• The Grab-A-Gun plays a unique theme when near it, keep your ears peeled!
  
• Some enemies have patterns that can be exploited.
  
• You can select any gun in your inventory by using the number keys!

Movement in GTTOD ranges from simple to much more technical. There is still movement tech that's not listed here, but may be added in future. The movement has been split into three categories here, Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced.



Press SPACE twice to perform a double jump. Your double jump refreshes by touching the ground, with a dash, or a wallrun. The go-to for terrain traversal.



Press SHIFT to dash in whichever direction you are holding, including your sides and diagonals. Dashes are refreshed by either touching the ground, wallrunning, wallkicking, hitting a jump pad, etc. You start with one but can get up to four through upgrading. Works great when combined with double jumps.



Jump towards a wall while facing parallel and holding your left or right key into the wall to start a wall run. Jumping off will refresh your dash, double jumps, dropkick and wallkicks. A staple for staying above ground.



Press CTRL at a standstill to crouch, and CTRL while moving to slide. Sliding preserves your speed and will cause you to speed up when going downhill. Great for long distances.



Being below a ledge will automatically make you grab and pull yourself up it. Not used much but is helpful for tighter jumps.



Press T (or hold R) to dual-wield your currently selected primary and secondary. Click each mouse button to fire each gun. You can't use secondary firemodes while dual-wielding. Some weapons also cannot be dual-wielded.



Press C to perform your Ultimate, by default it should be Reflex, a slow-motion Ultimate. Pressing C again will cancel the current Ultimate if it drains. Use these for overwhelming situations or huge swarm clear!





Doing a melee in mid-air will perform a dropkick, normally used against enemies, it can also be used on surfaces to give a quick speed or height boost. You only get one midair, only getting it back from touching the ground or wallruns.



When in mid-air, tap the CTRL key to slide when hitting the ground. Shortly after sliding on the ground, jump, tap CTRL, repeat the process. Extremely crucial for preserving speed, and also fantastic at gaining speed.



After double jumping, let go and rehold space to jump as soon as you hit the ground. This will preserve all of your speed, however you wont get your dropkick back. Combine with airstrafing to gain and preserve tremendous speed.



Dashing will conserve the majority of your speed and momentum, and so dashing in a different direction will allow you to easily make sharp turns or turn around completely.



When approaching a ramp at high speeds, spam space to quickly jump up and build up height. Once you reach the ramps apex, you'll go soaring into the air!



Hold space when hitting any kind of jump pad to boost your launch with your double jump. Generally useful for gaining more height.



While in water, look up, hold forward and hold space to surface faster and gain WAY more height when jumping out. One of the best ways to gain height.





Using the same inputs as a Buffered Bunnyhop, touch a wall to kick off it instead of wallrunning. You refresh your dash aswell as gain a boost dependant on angle. You get one, regained from touching the ground or wallrunning. Can be more versatile than wallruns sometimes, as you can even do it off surfaces you cant wallrun on, such as pillars.



When about to jump off a wall, look into it and hold the strafe key parallel to the wall, then flick your mouse and jump off. This makes you jump off the wall with more speed, and can be quite tricky to pull off, as its hard to know if you've done it.



Not really advanced but heavily situational, when in the air, the Z Axis is unlocked, meaning you can do flips in midair/water! Not necessary for anything, but it's cool!





With the science club, perform the ground slam and press crouch while in the air. When you hit the slope, you'll slide down with huge speed! Speed is determined by how high you came in from.



Much like a dropkick, except use your Ultimate key instead of your melee when you have the Mirror ultimate. You'll go much further and faster than a normal dropkick.



With the Spike, grapple onto a wall or floor at a distance, then dash as much as you can backwards. Once you pass over the center point for Spike, press space to let go of the grapple. You can gain tremendous amounts of speed with this, and you can get more than 8x the speed by using the Journeyman's Sash apparel and World Step ultimate.

Gear Cards are loadouts you can choose before the run starts. You use them by visting K8! while in Harbor Deep. Some offer up Karma and goodies, whereas some just give weapons and equipment. What they are and what their effects are will be here.

Gear Cards are consumed on use, and are found in Card Packs.

Common Cards offer up basic weapons and equipment, nothing fancy.

Karma Cards give basic weapons, but also the listed Karma ontop of that. They are slightly rarer than Common Cards.

Omega Cards are the rarest card at roughly a 2% drop chance. They give BABED+ weapons, along with a Karma, and sometimes equipment.

There are alot of different levels in GTTOD, but there are four main categories that should be referred to:

• Acts are entire new segments of the game. (e.g: the purple area, the red area)
  
• Stages are the level progress during a run. (e.g: 3 stages then a boss)
  
• Levels are areas that show up with a title-card. (e.g: amber vale, slumbering spring)
  
• Dungeons are their own areas that are seperate from runs.

Interactables refer to all the objects or items you can interact with in a stage. What they are and what their effects are will be here.

Bunkers are small side-rooms you'll find throughout levels that play an essential role in your run, whether it be giving guns and equipment, health and upgrades, or even just providing a spot to breathe.


Bunkers are randomly spawned rooms that have preset spawn positions, meaning if memorised, you can always find them. They also appear on the Scanner equipment, or on the compass at the top of the hud. Their contents can be identified with the Remote Identifer item by the coloured light bar above them.

Opening them requires a key, and upon opening will spill out shards and sometimes a powerup or pickup. The contents of each bunker are listed below.

NOTE: The High Priestess and Loot Luck affects the bunker spawn chance, aswell as the chance of lootable stuff spawned inside.


Service Bunkers are a jack of all trades bunker, they're comprised of multiple hallways and have the most versatile and likely loot spawns.

They can be identified by a white light bar.

The potential spawns are:

• Lootable Crates
  
• Lootable Trash Cans
  
• Garbage Bags
  
• Gun Crates
  
• Equipment Crates
  
• Workbench (guaranteed)
  
• Item Crates
  
• Drawer

Cargo Bunkers are similar except for being much smaller and more compact than Service Bunkers, but providing similar loot, though with more common spawns for Item Chests and Drawers.

They can be identified by a blue light bar.

The potential spawns are:

• Lootable Crates
  
• Lootable Trash Cans
  
• Garbage Bags
  
• Gun Crates
  
• Equipment Crates
  
• Workbench (guaranteed)
  
• Item Crates
  
• Drawer

Shop Bunkers contain a miniature K8! shop inside. You can sell weapons and gems to her for shards by dropping them at the counter.

They can be identified by a crooked white lightbar.

The potential spawns are:

• Lootable Crates
  
• Gun Crates
  
• Equipment Crates
  
• Item Crates
  
• Drawer
  
• Grab-A-Gun

Arsenal Bunkers contain guaranteed spawns and high chances for Gun Crates and Equipment Crates, making them extremely nice for gearing up.

They can be identified by a green light bar.

The potential spawns are:

• Lootable Crates
  
• Gun Crates (atleast 1 guaranteed)
  
• Equipment Crates (atleast 1 guaranteed)
  
• Workbench (guaranteed)
  
• Item Crates

Alpha Cache Bunkers contain a single Alpha Cache inside, with a price that fluctuates between roughly 2000 shards and 5500 shards. Opening one up will have a chance on giving a Blue, Purple or Gold weapon. The weapon itself is random, and the tier of said weapon is decided on a scaling chance based on the Alpha Caches price (e.g. 2500 shard Alpha Cache will be less likely to produce a Purple or Gold than a 4500 shard).

They can be identified by an orange light bar.

They have loot spawns, but very infrequently:

• Lootable Crates
  
• Item Crates
  
• Drawer

Blessed Bunkers are special bunkers containing a Shrine of the Summit, a stone tablet you can interact with to be given a blessing. They also contain a small pool of water which will heal your health.

They can be identified by a purple light bar.

They have loot spawns, but very infrequently:

• Lootable Crates
  
• Item Crates
  
• Drawer

Cursed Bunkers are special bunkers containing an Altar of the Abyss, a stone tablet you can interact with to be given a curse.

They can be identified by a red light bar.

They have loot spawns, but very infrequently:

• Lootable Crates
  
• Item Crates
  
• Drawer

Basin Bunkers are special bunkers containing a Basin of Burden and Basin of Balance. They are a mix of Blessed Bunkers and Cursed Bunkers. In the room is a split in the middle, the path on the left will let you cleanse any karma you don't want anymore, and the path on the right will allow you to pick a new karma from a mix of Blessings and Curses. Once one is interacted with though, the other will close off, being unable to be accessed.

They can be identified by a light green light bar.

They have no loot spawns.

Items are single-use consumables that are stored in your Item Inventory, and range from insta-use healing to upgrades for guns and health. They are found in Item Chests.

Your Item Inventory has 5 slots for items by default, with some items being stackable, and can be expanded with the use of the Satchel of Holding apparel.

Apparel are clothing items that can be slotted into your Apparel Slot, found in the middle of your inventory. You can only carry and wear one at a time, and they provide many different buffs, such as stat boosts or unique new abilities.


Battered Duster will increase your crit chance whilst dual-wielding.

Pretty nice to have but it's nothing amazing, that is unless you're running a Dual-Wield build, in which you can get some nasty damage.

Good synergies include:

• The Lovers: You're already dual-wielding for that extra damage, so.
  
• The Star: More crit chance ontop of random elements on said crits creates fun.

Chainmail Tabard will reduce the time you're affected by static.

NOTE: Due to nothing currently applying static to the player, this item is unobtainable without the console.



Faraday Jacket will reflect static back onto enemies if you're being affected by static.

NOTE: Due to nothing currently applying static to the player, this item is unobtainable without the console.



Fur Cowl will reduce how quickly you freeze aswell as how fast you gain warmth

Warmth isn't used much in the game currently but Fur Cowl can still be life-saving, as being frozen is extremely dangerous. Not being able to heal health or shield from being frozen is scary.

Good synergies:

• The King Of Cups: The downside of freezing on hit is mitigated by staying much warmer.
  
• Temperance: You wont get cold as easily if you're hit by your own ice spikes.

Gas Mask will reduce the time you're affected by Weakness.

You might get a little use out of this in Act 1, but in Act 2, Gas Mask can be a very viable option due to all the sources that inflict Weakness onto you.




Insulated Tunic will reduce the amount of ticks you receive from fire damage.

Insanely helpful, Act 2 and the Legion Sentinel has alot of fire thrown around, but where this apparel shines is in Fire builds, as the amount of damage you take from fire with The Moon is ludicrous.

Good synergies:

• The Moon: Reducing the amount of damage you take from fire SAVES runs.

Integrated Boots will start your shield regeneration when you start a wallrun.

Easily one of the best apparel, while not synergising much with other items or karma, its main effect is extremely strong and not to be overlooked.

Good synergies:

• The World: Insane shields, chip damage becomes even less of an issue, as you can just wallrun.
  
• Endurance Crystals: Same reason for why it's just as good as The World.

Jade Diadem will decrease the drain upon activating your Ultimate.

Obviously a strong pick, extra time for Reflex, Universal Pause, etc, or less ultimate cost for Void Burst and Flame Release is strong. Combined with the Soul Charge aspect, your Ultimates will be carrying you throughout your runs, if you're lucky enough to get them.

Good synergies:

• The Empress: Less ultimate drain is very good for when you need to heal from Ultimates.
  
• Ultimates: It's an apparel made for them, of course they're gonna synergise nicely.

Journeyman's Sash will increase the distance you travel when you dash.

May feel a little strange to get used to at first, but that distance increase makes dashing even better at dodging attacks or evading conflict. Combined with the right karma, your dash becomes even more a core part of your run, but even without it's an extremely good benefit.

Good synergies:

• The Chariot: You're dashing a ton to reflect projectiles and apply static, so it works out.
  
• The Tower: You can close greater distances for those firey melee strikes.
  
• World Step: Infinite dashes on greater dash distance is...a good feeling.

Loaded Bandolier will increase your max amount of reserve ammo.

It's fairly good, but not wowing anyone. An exception to that is with weapons that eat through ammo, such as the Auto Pistol, KMG or LMG.

Good synergies:

• The Lovers: Dual-wielding Auto Pistols has never been more cost effective.

Matchstick Gambeson will set enemies on fire when you get set on fire.

An extremely risky take compared to Insulated Tunic, but you can get some pretty wide fire spread when used correctly. Situational but very fun.

Good synergies:

• The Devil: If you're not taking the moon, because of extra damage, this may be a good option.
  
• Justice: If you can't see and get set on fire, this might kill the enemies you need for vision.

Satchel of Holding will double your max inventory slots for items.

While other apparel are great for damage or survivability, Satchel of Holding is fantastic utility, as you can hold more inventory items that may save your life, such as Medkits or Shield Banks. It also functions well if you want to store items in your stash.

Good synergies:

• Shield Bank: Fall low on shields? Just take one of these from your countless amounts!
  
• Medkit: Same reason as Shield Bank, but for health.

Velvet Cloak will increase your ammo pickup distance.

Nice little tool for staying out of close conflict but still keeping ammo topped up, but doesn't compare nor scale very well compared to other options.

Good synergies:

• The Hanged Man: Keeping height while still picking up ammo is fairly good.

Worn Poncho will grant you double invulnerability frames from dashing or taking damage.

Works great as a general apparel, such as if you don't have a build you fit into yet, or are very early into your run. It can also work well with melee builds as double I-Frames can save your life.

Good synergies:

• The Chariot: Double I-Frames after a dash on a dash focused karma can be helpful.
  
• The Tower: Same reason as The Chariot.

Unwavering Waders will grant you extra fishing luck.

Obviously a joke, but you do gain extra shards from fishing and higher chance for guns. They also bring back the old squeaky sneakers from older versions of GTTOD.

Upgrades refer to a broad category of ways to improve your run, ranging from upping your health to enhancing your guns power. Upgrades include everything seen below.




Endurance Crystals are an item you can find from Item Crates, they allow you to upgrade either your shield, health, or overshield. These health upgrades are removed on death.



Leyline Offerings are end of level rewards for finishing the Door Event or clearing a Dungeon. They give you a choice between 3 different rewards. These rewards include:

• 25-50 Jade Vines (dependant on difficulty)
  
• 1500 Shards
  
• Blessings
  
• Curses
  
• Ultimates
  
• +5 Health, Shield or Overshield
  
• 1-3 Keys (random amount)
  
• 1 Harbor Scroll
  
• 1 Extra Life
  
• Health & Ultimate Refill
  
• Ammo Refill

Shards and Jade Vine rewards can be increased further with The Fool karma.



Workbenches allow you to upgrade your gear and craft keys. When in the bench, you'll have 2 options for upgrades, those being:

• Upgrade: Costs 750 shards, upgrade your currently held gun from White to Blue, increasing its damage and other stats. For more exact info on White and Blue weapons, refer to the Weapons section.
  
• Craft Key: Costs 500 shards, craft a key to add to your inventory.

The Build-A-Bang Engine (abbreviated to BABE) for 5000 shards allows you to upgrade your weapon into a Purple and Gold variant, improving its stats further, and sometimes modifying your gun completely. Info on Weapon Tiers can be found in the Weapons section.

Found in a cave hidden in each level (with exceptions of bosses and The Tavern). Inside, there is a platform that'll transport you to The Colosseum, though you must have 5000 shards to transport, otherwise you'll be deemed 'unworthy'.

You'll be given BABE for you to put your guns into. Putting them in will turn them into their Purple BABED varient, and doing so again will turn them into their Gold varient.

Though in order to leave, you must complete the BABE Trial. Kill enemies whilst in the zones to complete the trial. Your reward will be your newly acquired BABED gun you used for the trial aswell as exit from The Colosseum.

You can also find a BABE from The Beyond karma, where you won't have to perform the BABE Trial. You can also get a BABED gun by using the Vulcan Hammer item, or getting lucky with Alpha Caches.

Aspects are permanent player upgrades that give you stat boosts, new abilities, or buffs and unlock new options such as new Aspects Trees or Runes. Upgrades cost Jade Vines, and are extremely important to the progression of GTTOD.


Turning around in the hub, you'll find this massive shrine and a lady in the middle you can interact with. This is where you spend Jade Vines for permanent upgrades to your character. There are 6 trees, 4 of which have to be unlocked.

Karma are upgrades that can be found in Karma Bunkers or from Leyline Offerings during your run that are lost upon death. Most Karma work in combination with each other, often to cover weaknesses or just to be stronger. They are split into two categories, Blessings and Curses.

Blessings and Curses can be found in Blessed, Cursed and Basin Bunkers, and upon interacting with the stone tablet found inside, will force you to choose between three different options. They can also be a potential reward from Leyline Offerings.

Karma often has 3 ranks, and can be increased either by selecting the same Karma again or by using the World Fruit item. Karma can also be removed either by using a Basin of Burden or the Cleansing Charm item.

You can also reroll Blessings and Curses once when selecting from their respective pools for 25 Jade Vines.

Blessings give a small but meaningful buff.
Curses give a bigger buff but a debuff along with it.

Ultimates are rare abilities that can be found in Leyline Offerings during a run. They either provide great utility or incredible damage and horde clearing.

Ultimate is gained by either killing enemies, finding an Overcharge, or using Soul Charge. The gain from kills can be increased with the Ult Recharge aspect. The drain of Ultimates can also be reduced with either the Ult Drain aspect or Jade Diadem apparel.

By default, you always start your run with Reflex, and other ultimates are earned from Leyline Offerings.




Reflex is your starting Ultimate, and upon activation will slow down everything. Projectiles, enemies, your movement and firerate will all be reduced during it.

It is particularly effective when either in bad situations, for a moment to think about your next action, or to focus down certain enemies, such as Shades, Cyclops', or Bosses.

Good synergies include:

• The Empress: Because of its instant use and cancellation whenever, you can spam this for health.
  
• The Lovers: Despite the firerate reduction, you can still fire very fast when dual-wielding.
  
• Death: Because of the slowed time, you can focus down single enemies with less hassle.

Ultimate will drain during its duration, and it may be cancelled at any time.




Universal Pause will make you snap your fingers, pausing time during its duration. Everything except you and your actions are paused.

It's extremely good at creating breathing room or absolutely annihilating potential foes, pumping a Cyclops' full of lead with a BABED gun is insanely satisfying, and for horde clear, shooting a few explosive shots can really show how good it is.

Good synergies include:

• Death: One tapping any foe while time is paused is a very nice feeling.
  
• The Messenger: Easily unbuff any enemy by freezing them when time is paused

Ultimate is drained in a chunk upon use, then draining during its duration. It may be cancelled at any time.




Void Burst will charge up a ball of energy that you fire for a huge damage explosion.

It's insanely good at clearing out large hordes of enemies, and its huge damage makes it especially effective even against beefier single targets.

Good synergies include:

• The Hermit: Clearing a huge horde in a big burst does wonders for any missing health.
  
• Death: So much damage, too much damage even. Just try not to get hit though.

Ultimate is drained in a hefty chunk on use, costing just under half your ultimate.




Flame Release will summon a ball of fire that you throw at for a medium damage explosion, setting any foes inside on fire.

Much like Void Burst, it's very good at clearing out hordes, but misses out on single target damage. Though because it does fire damage, it synergises very well with fire builds, making it even more effective that Void Burst for damage scaling.

Good synergies include:

• The Moon: Increase damage of Flame Releases fire.
  
• The Sun: Spread said fire and create mini fire explosions from slain enemies.
  
• The Hierophant: Constant ticks of fire damage produces TONS of shards from enemies.

Ultimate is drained in a chunk on use, costing about a quarter of your ultimate.




Mirror will put your fists up in a diagonal cross, creating a small area around you to quickly reflect projectiles, deal damage and inflict knockback.

Despite reflecting projectiles being jobs that The Chariot and the Katana can perform, Mirror also deals damage and knockback in its radius, but using Mirror on a wall or floor will allow you to knockback off of the floor, resulting in some pretty crazy momentum.

Good synergies include:

• The Tower: If your reaction times fast enough, reflect the 2x speed projectiles back at enemies.
  
• Jump Kit: Works ridiculously well, you can Mirror a wall and then activate Jump Kit for a long jump.

Ultimate is drained in a chunk on use, costing about a fifth of your ultimate.




World Step will grant you infinite dashes during its duration, and the ability to dash into smaller enemies to instantly kill them.

Aside from the general fun of having infinite dashes, World Step is very effective at creating space or closing space between you and enemies. Of course dashing into enemies for an instakill is very good for horde clearing, just try not to get overwhelmed during said act.

Good synergies include:

• The Chariot: Reflect projectiles and dish out static everytime you dash, which is alot.
  
• The Tower: Bonus melee damage with fire when you dash, which is also alot.
  
• Journeyman's Sash: Dash distance increase...on infinite dashes...need I say more?

Ultimate will drain during its duration, and it may be cancelled at any time.




Temporal Shift will slow down time to a crawl, slower than even Reflex, only moving when you start doing inputs or moving again.

Obviously inspired by Superhot, Temporal Shift is even better than Reflex at times for understanding the situation you're in. Whether a projectile is about to hit you or a mammoth is about to whoop you, Temporal Shift can help you make normally split second decisions with time to spare.

Good synergies include:

• Death: Much the same reason as why it's good on Reflex, but with more control.
  
• Journeyman's Sash: In a tough spot? You can reliably dash away from any conflict.
  
• Integrated Boots: Low on health? Because you can easily change time, you can easily find a wallrun to restore your shields.

Ultimate will drain during its duration, but the amount drained is effected by if you're moving or not. It may be cancelled at any time.

Equipments are active items found during runs recharge overtime. They can be used during a reload, making them a very crucial part of your run. They are split into two categories, Tactical and Lethal. You can only hold one of each type at a time.

NOTE: Equipment cooldowns shown here are their base, without the Equipment Speed aspect.

Weapons are quite self-explanatory, however there are alot that function differently than others. BABED weapons refer to upgraded versions of guns. They are acquired through a plethora of different ways, such as rolling for it from the Grab-A-Gun, to bunkers, to even fishing.


Weapons have 4 different coloured tiers, representing how effective they are and how much they've been upgraded.

When you use the Grab-A-Gun, Gun Crate, or any other source for a gun, you're most likely getting a White varient, with a small chance for a Blue.


White

White (or Standard) weapons are the baseline, sporting 1x damage and being the most common rarity for guns.







Blue

Blue (or Upgraded, or +) weapons are better versions of their White counterpart, always dealing 1.5x more damage than White rarity. They also sometimes come with cosmetic upgrades to the gun, such as laser sights or other accessories.





When you use the Build-A-Bang Engine, Vulcan Hammer, or open an Alpha Cache, you'll get either of these two rarities.

Purple

Purple (or BABED) weapons are where things get unique. Unlike the previous rarities, the Purple (and Gold) weapons will have a new name, new model, 2x damage, sometimes new stats entirely, and sometimes a new ability. Depending on the weapon, they may also deal Fire, Static or Frost damage.






Gold

Gold (or BABED+) are the highest your weapons will get, sporting a 3x damage increase, and some fancy new lightning particle effects. Apart from that, they are identical to Purple weapons.

Buffs and Debuffs are two different types of status effects that are applied to the player or to enemies. The debuffs can be applied to enemies via certain items or karma.

• Buffs provide positive effects to the player and are often tied to Powerups (which will be talked about below).
  
• Debuffs are negative effects to the player and enemies that can be deadly if not dealt with.
  
• Powerups are buffs dropped either by enemies or opening bunkers, with some being able to be bought from Item Shops.

NOTE: Icons for Overcharge, Money Bag, Ammo Bag, Ammo Box and Obliterate are placeholders, as they're activated instantly and thus don't have an icon.




Double Shards
Doubles shard gain for the duration of effect. Found as a powerup.





Overcharge
Refills health, shield, overshield and ultimate. Found as a powerup and sold in Item Shops.




Money Bag
Gives roughly between 300-900 shards on pickup. Found as a powerup.





Quad Damage
Quadruples damage output for all your attacks for duration of the effect. Found as a powerup.



Rapid Fire
Grants infinite ammo with increased firerate for duration of effect. Found as a powerup
NOTE: Reduces heat buildup for heat weapons, despite there not being in the game currently


Ammo Bag & Ammo Box
Ammo Bag: Refills roughly 25% of currently held gun's ammo and roughly 25% for other weapons. Found as a powerup.
Ammo Box: Refills all ammo of all weapons in inventory, found in the Blade Sentinel's arena. Can be sold in Item Shops.



Obliterate
Instantly kills all nearby enemies on pickup. Found as a powerup.





Speed Boost
Boosts ground speed and swim speed. Applied to player from Stim or Orange Juice equipment





Fire
APPLIED TO ENEMY: Damage over time that can be buffed with either Elemental Damage aspect or The Moon karma. Can deal critical hits.
APPLIED TO PLAYER: Damage over time that can be extinguished by jumping into water.

Static
APPLIED TO ENEMY: Stacking damage that accumulates on enemy, dealing damage based on how many stacks were applied. Enemies killed with static spread it to enemies nearby. Can be buffed with either Elemental Damage aspect or The Magician karma. Can deal critical hits.
APPLIED TO PLAYER: Disables your dash, double jump and wall run.



Weakness
APPLIED TO ENEMY: Cannot be applied to enemies currently.
APPLIED TO PLAYER: Take 50% more damage from all sources.


Frost
APPLIED TO ENEMY: Stack enough frost on an enemy to freeze them, immobilising them until they thaw. If health reaches 0, they can be finished out either with a melee or waiting for them to thaw.
APPLIED TO PLAYER: Unable to regenerate health, shield or overshield until you warm up. Temperature can be gained slowly overtime, catching on fire, or using Fur Cowl.

Theres alot of questions that are often asked about GTTOD, and this section might help clear up problems or misconceptions. If there's any questions that should be added, please put them in the comments below!

Q. How do I play?/I keep dying!
A. GTTOD is a very fast paced game, if you're not constantly moving you might aswell be a slice of white bread. Movement is a CORE component of this game, afterall. That being said, try to loot the level as much as you can, shoot at containers, pickup keys and open Bunkers for upgrades and gear. If you find yourself dying repeatedly, you may need to refine your movement or prepare better next time with better gear. Reflex may also help you take in situations when things get overwhelming.

Q. Where are the guns and equipment?
A. Guns, Equipment and Karma are located inside Bunkers, which need keys to open. You can find keys by looting levels for all their worth, anything yellow can be interacted with or shot to loot. An exception is the Grab-A-Gun, so if you're extremely unlucky with keys, you can try gambling your shards there.

Q. What are Jade Vines, and why do I keep getting them?
A. Jade Vines are the games currency for permanent upgrades to your character, such as getting more dashes, damage, equipment cooldown, etc. You'll find them either by looting or from Leyline Offerings, and you can use them in the hub by turning around and going to the big purple shrine.

Q. Where do I use Gear Cards and where do I find them?
A. Gear Cards are found in Card Packs, which are packs found randomly throughout runs. You open them by clicking on them in your inventory. They can then be used at the shop by the vendor, K8! You'll have to unlock her first though by progressing through the Aspects.

Q. Why are some of the enemies blue/purple/green?
A. Blue enemies are buffed, meaning they have more health and deal more damage. They spawn more commonly with higher threat level, or are manually buffed by a Shade. Purple enemies are friendly, meaning they fight for you. Green enemies are elites, similiar to blue buffed enemies, but with new moves, attacks and can inflict debuffs.

Q. How do I get to the dungeons, and what are they?
A. You can get the dungeons from either the back of the hubs dungeon portal, or the guaranteed one found in every Act 1 level for 1500 shards. The Ocular Sigil must be unlocked first to open the portal. Dungeons are arena-like areas that have better loot rewards at the cost of faster threat scaling, and must be fully completed to leave.

Q. How do I deal with certain enemy types?
A. Each enemy has a slightly different way of dispatching them, some notable highlights are:

• Raptors require a punch or certain equipment to bust through their shield to deal damage to them.
  
• Drakes require a fairly similar takeout to Raptors, though they shoot more frequently so be careful.
  
• Mantis' can be singled out by running away, they're fast to chase you compared to other enemies.
  
• Mammoths take double damage from behind, so either slide underneath or jump over to get behind them.
  
• Golems can be disabled by shooting off their arms, so high single-target weapons work best against them.
  
• Shades turn nearby enemies into buffed versions and heal them, they're high priority targets that should be taken out.
  
• Cyclops' make a rising pitch sound when about to fire, get into cover or shoot them during their laser attack to stun them temporarily.

Q. I feel so slow...How do I move fast?
A. GTTOD is not your average FPS. Ground speed is slow, but aerial speed is high. You want to spend as much time as possible in the air as opposed to the ground. Doing this keeps your momentum, makes you go faster, and will overall serve a more enjoyable experience. if you need to cross a stretch of land, use your slide to preserve your speed.

Q. Whats the goal?
A. To get to the orange door, which is found at the end of each level. However, there is currently no end to GTTOD, instead upon defeating The Legion Sentinel you can loop the run for however long you like.

Q. Why is it so buggy?
A. Keep in mind that currently GTTOD is an Early Access game, meaning that it's not finished. Bugs and quirks like these are ironed out with each patch, and if you think you found one you can report it to the GTTOD Discord Server (refer to Contacts).

Q. When is release?
A. The next update will be the final update for the game, not including post-launch updates. It's pretty much a meme at this point that the 'game will be finished soon' or 'next update', but it will actually be the end of the road this time.

Q. I'm not really feeling this version of the game, can I revert to older builds?
A. Yes! Right click GTTOD in your library, go to properties, betas, and change the version to whichever one you like!

This entire effort took atleast 2-3 months to complete (when first posted), and roughly 8-12 months after the first Dark Down Under update came out, mostly due to both procrastination and the gathering of images and gifs.

UPDATE: Current update is Past and Present, and it took about half a week to update everything? Either way, I think I did an okay job.

Please do leave feedback in the comments on ways I could expand or improve the guide, aswell as mistakes or typos, I will be reading all of your comments!

Also do remember that anything in this guide shouldn't be taken as the 'definitive' way to play the game. Having FUN comes first, because whats the point of playing a game if not for fun?

Here's another guide I made for a different game!
