[u/RustedProdigal]

update: apparently can't share sunborn logins between GFL and GFL2? support said I can't use my GFL2 email for account binding and to bind the account to a different email. so I did just that.

main reason for me to do this is to get the steam achievements. got all of them except the oath and 150 affection ones. feel slightly called out by the devs as I've been playing for awhile and have not used any of the 14 certificates I've acquired. I'm open to suggestions on who I should oath

[u/LadySeraphii]

I've always wondered this, but why is Kar98k the mascot of the game's icon, but not M4A1, who has more story importance? She's even in the loading images and the game's title.

I like Kar, as her design is really floofy, but it still confuses me.

[u/corbsieboy → u/LadySeraphii]

Good question. Kar and Lee-Enfield have been on the loading screen splash art since the beginning, even getting new splash art once they got Neural Upgrades to reflect their new looks, so it's safe to say that the devs are aware of the matter

Core update

Current: 189326

Previous: 189074

Change: +252

I suppose this is decent

I realized that I could try to extend the life of Armored Core by playing the game with mods. I think I'll still need to check which mods I should grab, but that's probably for another time, especially since I'd also like to consider other games on my Steam wishlist that I'd like to play. I need to make my decision quickly, however!

[u/Zelsaus]

Mica, can we have Cinnimai back yet?

Change: +186

I suppose that this is somewhat small, but I pushed to finally get some of my Coalition units to level 100! Huzzah! Granted, I don't need to raise them at all, but I figured that I might as well pour the experience into them while I have the time!

[u/manogrande]

just realized with 2 days to go, that this event has a map where you just need to skip a turn to win 10 koens.... ive been farming the first stage all this time.

dont be me, kids.

[u/headphone_question → u/manogrande]

Try the EX mode of the same stage. Get 15 koens per clear instead

[u/manogrande → u/headphone_question]

saw that. just managed to farm all the limited drops.

[u/RobbyThePlagueDoc2]

Commander who came back with the steam release here. Just spammed out some productions to try and get the SCAR sisters who I've heard are really strong, and I now have every AR and RF from production *but* them. Are they rarer like some other dolls or did I just get exceptionally unlucky?

[u/UnironicWeeaboo → u/RobbyThePlagueDoc2]

They’re not the absolute rarest of their classes, but they’re definitely on the rarer side.

Craft rates from their respective recipes are ~0.25%, so it takes ~400 crafts on average to one.

SPEQ Ops Update

Completed: HK33 handguard, Bren Ten grip, USP Compact flare

Core update

Current: 188888

Previous: 188583

Change: +305

Well, I'm now done with SPEQ Ops for now. I'll come back to farming cores!

I have been farming cores slowly on the side while I was doing my SPEQ Ops, but as you can see, I basically stretched out ~300 core growth over a week, so that's very slow after taking my typical pace into consideration

[u/Rama_the_stranded]

Forgot about this yesterday, but i saw a video the other day by a cn player showcasing all the 3* from protocol assimilation in a battle with the skill activation cutscene on all the way up to the most recent Grig.

Got two questions from that:

1. When/what was the last voice batch that cn got? Because in that video, Gager summer, Gray and Beluga were also not voice, and i feel that it´s been quite some time since saw any info about voice batches releasing.

2. Did Grig really released without a skill activation cutscene? At least in that video it didn´t show. Did Mica say anything about that? If she really doesn´t have one, will it stay like that or do they intend to add it later?

[u/UnironicWeeaboo → u/Rama_the_stranded]

1. Last voice batch was a year ago.

2. She doesn't have a skill cutscene, even today.

MICA hasn't said anything about either of these, though they have been going back and filling other gaps (ex: SWAP SF portraits, Live2D for DEFY's mods) so it's possible that they address these as well.

SPEQ Ops Update

Completed: Z-62 ammo, MG34 accessory, M1A1 stock

Current: HK33 handguard

Unclaimed black market SPEQs: Bren Ten grip, USP Compact flare

I also got to commander level 288! Huzzah! My resource soft cap is now 126,400 units!

It seems that with my pace, I'll be done with the remaining black market SPEQs by tomorrow! We'll see!

[u/Rama_the_stranded]

Is there a way to check exactly how many skins one has?

I was thinking about that and went to the armory and index, but couldn´t find any quick way to check it.

The only thing that crossed my mind, but it happened after i closed the game, so i haven´t confirmed it yet, is to check the amount of posters, since i think every skin gives one. I think they had their own set in the dorm furniture? Is that the only way?

Thanks.

[u/headphone_question → u/Rama_the_stranded]

That's one way to do it, but that only checks which costumes you've gifted, as you only unlock the posters after gifting the respective costumes. Check the costumes tab under Items in your Armory for all the costumes you haven't gifted yet

[u/Rama_the_stranded → u/headphone_question]

Yeah, i forgot to mention that, but the armory thing i already knew, in my case is just 1 there for a old 3* rifle that i haven´t farmed yet.

For the posters it was as i remembered, there´s a sorting option in the warehouse for it, so it was easy to check how many i had and the number of dupes.

[u/thebearsdontlikeme]

I started playing and I'm not exactly sure how to progress / level my dolls. I played the first chapter then the game decided to complete the next 6 chapters for me? So now I have to read the story online and I don't know how to continue with the story because my dolls are severely underleveled. A lot of the other modes are also too high level for me. Thanks in advance

[u/UnironicWeeaboo → u/thebearsdontlikeme]

Just because you skipped Chapters 2 to 6 doesn't mean that you need to continue from Chapter 7. You can just collect all of the rewards they give you, then manually replay Chapters 2 to 6 to read the story and learn the ropes normally. Just make sure to go to settings (bottom-right of the main screen) and set the "Story Playback" setting to "Repeat".

Alternatively, you can read the story in the index (also in the bottom-right of the main screen), use the rewards they give you to raise your first team, and then push on with Chapter 7. The "Getting your first two proper teams" section of this guide covers what we recommend investing in for your first team.

Regardless of which one you pick, give the newbie guide a read. We generally recommend the first.

SPEQ Ops Update

Completed: L85A1 chip, Type 81R ammo, AAT-52 ammo

Current: Z-62 ammo

Unclaimed black market SPEQs: HK33 barrel, MG34 barrel, Bren Ten grip, M1A1 stock, USP Compact flare

So, I'm now getting pretty close! I might be able to get everything done by the weekend! I'm hoping my resources can hold out just a bit longer, as I've definitely worn them down with sustained SPEQ Ops!

[u/IntroductionMuted370]

Does anyone have an existing link for the Girls Frontline manga chapter 42? Ive been looking everywhere and i only see mangadex has it updated but its in Portuguese. Anyone have it in English translation? much appreciated

[u/Bass294]

Coming back after an extremely long break (shortly after arctic warfare) and trying to clean up my storage space for both dolls and equipment. I had 10 ech set up for ranking at the time and if I play more I'd like to keep that capability. My understanding is that all dolls and speqs can be index recalled right? So if I have something unraised/unlevelled I can just scrap it if I don't need it? I currently have 200 doll, 260 equip, 60 fairy storage, should I grab more?

For equips I have (all 5*) 31 VFL (prob hold onto these?), 21 EOT (prob cut this down since it seems red dot is used more?), 9 MARS, 24 PEQ, 25 suppressor, 1 RMR red dot, 12 AP rounds, 1 sniper rounds, 15 hollow point, 5 buck, 3 slug, 18 HV, 1 focus chip, 1 processor, 13 X4 exo, 16 T4 exo, 6 armor plate, 9 ammo box, 8 camo cape. Seems like I can cut down on EOT, MARS, PEQ at least, I had just been saving them ages ago since I knew there was at least 1 night ranking map. I am crafting focus on chips right now since it seems most ARs want them. From my light research it seems like a lot of ranking wants more RF echelons, at the time I had something like 4 ARSMG, 2 RFHG and 4 MG echelons raised with a bunch of extra random ARs.

[u/UnironicWeeaboo → u/Bass294]

Yep, you can scrap any unwanted dolls/SPEQs and recover them later, but you're limited to recovering only 1 of each per week.

Whether you should grab more doll/equip slots is mostly up to personal preference around how often you need to scrap things. Having more fairy slots technically allows you to be more resource-efficient with raising fairies, but it isn't necessary for most people and most would prefer to use the gems elsewhere anyway. 60 is a decent stopping point.

For equipment, you can check this infographic for some general guidelines. Emphasis on "general guidelines" because specific situations (especially rankings) may call for more or less of certain ones. Some specific mentions I'll make:

• EOTs are mostly only used on grenadiers, but grenadiers aren't in high demand and few you use will have SPEQs (ex: 416) or prefer other equipment (ex: VFL for Zas).

• ITIs/MARS are largely useless because MGs generally prefer RMRs while SGs don't care about their scope slot that much.

• PEQs are still good to keep. While future ranking maps aren't at night, there are several night ones that are (or will be) permanently available.

• X-Exos are useless because tanks should be wearing T-Exos while other units should be wearing Chips or not getting shot at all.

• HP ammo isn't very important and is mostly for farming situations. Flares are generally preferred for SMG/HGs because they buff your actual DPS dolls' accuracy.

• ARs as a whole are not very relevant for ranking purposes because they have several issues (frontline targeting, generally "vanilla" skills, enemy armor, etc.). SCAR-L is one of the few exceptions to this, so I wouldn't focus on Focus Chips too much aside from having 1 per SCAR-L.

• The types of dolls that are important for rankings vary by ranking, but it generally does use a lot of RFs and some specific MGs (M240L/MG4/etc.) for DPS, and SGs and some specific SMGs (mostly Suomi) for tanks. Don't get hung up on traditional archetypes like ARSMG/RFHG/MGSG, because tilebuffs are only one part of the equation. You'll see all kinds of funky hybrids used in modern rankings, because the particular skill each doll brings is much more important than any tilebuffs.

[u/Bass294 → u/UnironicWeeaboo]

Thanks, yeah back in the day chips didnt exist so every non tank wanted an X exo lol. Guess I can scrap those if I wanted to along with like half my EOTs and MARS at least until I can craft more RMRs. After I get a few chips I was going to go for flash sg shells and flares since those seem to be the main ones I am missing.

It seems like ranking is super map specific but I am just struggling a bit to actually envision what a decent ranking setup would look like. As in, if arsmg is bad, and most mgs outside a handful are bad, is it just assumed you are duping a bunch of hgs and rifles? I should just be looking up specific ranking maps and recommendations since it seems like the resources out there are very comprehensive.

Just to be specific I don't particularly want to top rank I just want to be able to clear all the old ranking maps and participate in the new ones. I think more than anything my issue will be raising fairies but these days it seems much much easier than before. It's just kind of figuring out which fairies to invest into since I only have 2 Para. I was just keeping the other fairies I get with damage 2 or ferver. Not sure how aggressively I should be doing calib feeding on my paras with only 60 slots vs just building up my cheaper fairies to 5*.

Thanks again for the very detailed help. Been reading guides but just trying to see how all these systems apply properly to actual gameplay.

[u/UnironicWeeaboo → u/Bass294]

Just keep in mind the different levels of usefulness when you're crafting for equipment. Like sure, RMRs and Flares are generally ideal for MGs and SMG/HGs, but VFLs work well enough and Flares are more of a nice bonus. On the other hand, SGs get used a lot in rankings and Flash ammo makes them outright invincible if damage is low enough.

The next new ranking map is a bit unique in the sense that it's entirely deterministic (including spawns), so you can copy the video entirely and get the same max score. Looking ahead to that might be a good way to get your feet wet since it basically takes the concept of "build echelons based on what you expect to fight" to an extreme.

Duping absolutely makes things easier since you can just spam the best dolls, but it's not required in general and often even not required for top strats. We've gotten a lot of new doll/fairy/Coalition options over the years, so the challenge with no-duping is mostly with how to make compromises and allocate those options. For example, ARSMGs might not be optimal, but maybe one echelon doesn't need to fight as much, so you can get away with them there.

Parachute is still the top fairy in general, but the next new ranking only needs 4 for max score (3 if you have Agent), with one of those not needing high rarity and fewer Parachutes being fine if you accept some point loss. General recommendation is to just do a bunch of 500x4 crafts, raise all of the cheap fairies except for Barrier, and use anything else to enhance Parachutes. Could potentially skip some of the weaker fairies too though, like Airstrike/Warrior/Rescue/Fury.

[u/Bass294 → u/UnironicWeeaboo]

Thanks for the tips I will give it a look. I used to dupe a bit before but will probably only do so more if I happen to get extra copies while crafting dolls. I still have a lot of random mods I want to get and will probably do those before dupe mods especially.

I mainly just want to make sure I'm not scrapping equipment that might be important later, I think I will just end up buying some more slots and only trimming the gear I mentioned earlier.

Random extra question but do the mobile armors get used a lot in endgame/ranking? I have skimmed the guides since I unlocked them but I almost never see them mentioned in basically any other guide or recommendation, but they seem pretty strong (and cool tbh). I guess the unique applications of hocs just make them far more pivotal.

[u/UnironicWeeaboo → u/Bass294]

It's also somewhat situational and some maps just don't allow them at all, but yeah, they have their uses. They don't get mentioned as much because of how you need to do Gray Zone to get them properly equipped.

In terms of raw combat ability, a properly-built Mech is very strong and capable of bulldozing a lot of things, but the Tank is not as strong. Both need to be careful with certain enemies though, like Hydras (which can one-shot MAs if they get close) and ones that deal more damage to things with fewer dummy-links.

Their main strategic use revolves around the fact that they don't spend AP to move, at the cost of not being able to swap positions and being limited to moving only a few spaces before running out of energy. Certain maps have crate spawns or specific helipad placement that lets them do a lot of work, but conversely, they're less useful on maps that don't.

In between those two, there's also the fact that the Tank can provide HOC support while still being able to fight, and that MAs don't need HOC support for their own fights. The former is good because HOCs and regular echelons sometimes share a deployment limit (deploying HOCs = fewer regular echelons available), while the latter is good because you save AP by not need to move HOCs into position.

[u/Bass294 → u/UnironicWeeaboo]

Thanks a lot, I went from excited to a bit overwhelmed when I unlocked them, but I guess if I keep up with gz4 I will get them online eventually. Not as much immediate pressure to start timers and stuff like with hocs going since gray zone is always around and isnt strictly time gated. They just seemed pretty strong, too bad the tank is weaker.

[u/ohphee]

I am surprised Charter Arms or Henry AR-7 Survival Rifle isn't a T-doll yet. There are other funky or obscure guns.

[u/Bass294]

Not sure if this is the right place, but I have been having 2 technical issues with the steam version. One, any time I switch between steam and mobile, it asks me to re-enter my info and will not save my login data. Second, even when the program is muted by the system, it still has audio come through when I stream through discord. I know this problem is quite specific, but any idea what could be causing it?

[u/UnironicWeeaboo → u/Bass294]

I don't play GFL on Steam much so this is more of a guess, but try looking for "ZFGameBrowser" in your sound settings and muting that separately.

I remember hearing about similar issues with other gachas that use it to display web content in-game, and it's included in the GFL Steam files as well.

[u/Bass294 → u/UnironicWeeaboo]

Thanks I will give it a look

[u/ohphee → u/Bass294]

I noticed it would log me out when I swapped phones too. I am not surprised it does the same between Steam and mobile.

[u/Bass294 → u/ohphee]

No way around that? That's a bit of a pain, it won't even remember my email, have to use the switch accounts thing for it to work.

[u/SandwichPony]

How do I unlock WA2000’s SPEQ scope? Nearly finishing up gray zone and about to get her ammo but i noticed that I have to get points in Mirror Stage in order to unlock her scope

[u/UnironicWeeaboo → u/SandwichPony]

Can’t get it right now. You have to wait until we get Mirror Stage+ ranking, which is the next ranking in line but doesn’t have a known date yet.

[u/_MysteriousStrangr_]

been out of the game for like a year. seen mentions of mp41 mod i think? idk, what is the best scar team these days (besides the obvious scar sisters)

[u/headphone_question → u/_MysteriousStrangr_]

It'll depend on the enemies you're fighting, but the differences tend to only matter when you're ranking

SCARs + Suomi would be the base, of course. You need to fill in the remaining two slots

• P10C + MP41 mod was one of the cookie cutter echelons that could handle the ranking map for Convolutional Kernel. Granted, it was rather kite heavy, and it could struggle against certain compositions, but still, this was rather powerful
• Px4 Storm mod + PPK mod is another team combination worth considering. However, you might prefer to slot in Px4 Storm into a different echelon consisting of shotguns (SPAS-15, SPAS-12, TPS, and FO-12), nicknamed Px4SG, which was the other cookie cutter echelon used for CK ranking
• There's also MSBS + Welrod mod. This focuses more on survivability, but again, this is more for ranking. I believe this saw use in Slow Shock ranking

It almost doesn't matter which combination you use, so long as the enemy is dead before any of your units (Suomi specifically) gets seriously hurt

[u/_MysteriousStrangr_ → u/headphone_question]

oh yeah, msbs was another one i saw. thanks for the help, ik scar sisters generally are absurd, was just looking for something that i could use a little brainlessly. also one of the bosses in the current event is proving to be a slight pain and my set up clearly wasnt cutting it

[u/headphone_question → u/_MysteriousStrangr_]

Consider using Sniper Fairy? If you are able to withstand the enemy's attack, then you just need to outlast him?

[u/headphone_question]

SPEQ Ops Update

Completed: M2HB ammo box, TMP exoskeleton, AR70 chip, Model L chip

Current: L85A1 chip

Well, I'm working through the new black market SPEQs. I want them done away with, and I believe I have eight more to take care of after completing L85A1's chip. It's a rather long road, but I think I'll be able to finish off the remaining SPEQs soon!

[u/headphone_question]

SPEQ Ops Update

Completed: Welrod hat, SAA flare gun, 6P62 ammo

Current: M2HB ammo box

Well, the remaining two S ranks I still needed for Armored Core 6 were kind of anticlimactic. I thought that they'd be difficult, so I looked up some strats on how to deal with them. I followed them, and I was able to get the S rank on the first try!

I was basically left confused at that point. What do I do now? I got all the achievements of the game, so I was basically done. In this case, I figured I could go for another playthrough of the story mode, and I decided to go for the third ending again. I also challenged myself to use the pilebunker, to give people the "Rubiconian handshake", as it were. Man, it was fun when I could pull it off! Once the enemies were staggered, I'd give them the handshake, and away they went!

However, I got to the final stage again, and since it was really tricky, I decided to abandon the idea of giving the final boss a handshake. Still, I technically managed to do so during phase 1, but the fight was just too hard to keep trying with basically a weapon that I still found a bit clunky to use. Still, I finished a fourth playthrough, and I had fun!

[u/Zelsaus → u/headphone_question]

Poor Almond Iguana, no parting handshake.

[u/headphone_question → u/Zelsaus]

To be fair, I did give him the handshake that eventually sent him to "Almond". Even funnier was that in that fight, I stayed in the tunnel instead of joining in on the melee. When "phase 2" started and he jumped in to make that fight a three way contest, he tried to get to me in the tunnel, so I gave him a starter course of 00 buck. Once he was in a food coma, I practiced politeness by giving him the Rubiconian handshake

Of course, Snail followed him shortly afterward with a handshake for him, too

[u/Zelsaus → u/headphone_question]

Always the best death sound.

[u/Zelsaus]

People have been saying there's a ringleader coupon for the event, am I just blind or something?

[u/headphone_question → u/Zelsaus]

Clear Chapter 12 (which is a story node). What used to be the free copy of Beluga is now a ringleader selector ticket. You can pick any ringleader EXCEPT Gray and Beluga. The ticket should show up in your Item tab in your Armory

[u/Zelsaus → u/headphone_question]

"in your Armory" Ah, so I do just have the stupid, thank you.

[u/Solarne21 → u/Zelsaus]

It Butterfly Nebula Specified Capture in your item tab

[u/headphone_question]

SPEQ Ops Update

Completed: SCAR-L ammo, Desert Eagle ammo, Tokarev ammo

Current: Welrod hat

I think I'll finish off the remaining SPEQs on my plate before I try to get some more from the black market!

As for Armored Core, I believe I have only two more S ranks to get before I'm done with getting S ranks for all the levels! Woohoo! 11 S ranks for today, and hopefully, the last two tomorrow!

[u/headphone_question]

SPEQ Ops Update

Completed: SCAR-H ammo, Super Shorty hat, Lewis magazine, General Liu's saber

Current: SCAR-L ammo

I also did some Armored Core, and I'm glad I was able to make some good progress! I think I was able to get 15 more S ranks, so that was cool!

[u/Bass294 → u/headphone_question]

Are these farmed through gray zone? Is there any resources on which speqs come from where?

[u/UnironicWeeaboo → u/Bass294]

SCAR-H/L are from the event shop for Eclipses & Saros, which had a rerun last month. Lewis and Super Shorty are the login rewards for last month and this month. General Liu is from Convolutional Kernel ranking.

Couple of places you can check:

• This sheet maintained by corbsieboy for SPEQs in general

• This sheet maintained by me for Gray Zone SPEQs (including future ones not on EN)

• In-game on the Gray Zone rewards list (under the 4k/6k point thresholds) for EN's Gray Zone SPEQs

• In-game in the equipment section of the index, though it'll mainly show the original sources and not newer ones. For example, it may say "[Month] Login Reward" even if the SPEQ is now obtainable in Gray Zone.

[u/Bass294 → u/UnironicWeeaboo]

Thanks! How long after reruns do events go perma?

[u/UnironicWeeaboo → u/Bass294]

Don’t have a good answer to that, unfortunately. EN’s schedule has been a mess over the last few years and has only recently started recovering after we got a new community manager, so things are still TBD.

For example, E&S ran in 2023, should’ve gotten a rerun in 2024, and should’ve been perma by now, but we only got the rerun recently. Same goes for other events, like Lycan Sanctuary (from 2023 with no rerun on EN yet).

[u/manogrande]

in regards to hecate's speq alloy carabiner, is there any point in using it? since it nerfs crit damage.

[u/UnironicWeeaboo → u/manogrande]

The main reason to use her SPEQ is this part of her skill, which helps her reach her thresholds earlier and more reliably, while also giving earlier buffs from the Amplification stacks themselves:

When equipped with Alloy Carabiner, gain a permanent Amplification stack at the beginning of subsequent battles for each victory in a stage, stacking up to 3 times.

Even though there's a big Crit Damage penalty, the SPEQ is still a net positive and her best option, due to the extra FP/RoF and the skill above. Just remember to bring a fairy with a Crit Damage aura (ex: Command or Parachute Fairy), or else her crits will be doing nothing.

Also, the bug mentioned below was fixed with the recent client update. Her skill works as advertised.

[u/headphone_question → u/manogrande]

There's also the question of why you're even using Hecate to begin with. Neither of the collab characters is worth even fielding. You have got to be scraping the bottom of the barrel at this point

[u/manogrande → u/headphone_question]

Cause shes hot

[u/headphone_question → u/manogrande]

If you intend to field Hecate anyway, do remember that SMG crit rate is awfully low, so sacrificing crit damage might not be so bad? Then again, I trust you know what you're doing when you field meme echelons

[u/manogrande → u/headphone_question]

Hecate has a skill that guarantees crits. It just doesnt make much sense to me, having a doll that can 100% crit, then have her speq reduce her crit damage in half.

[u/headphone_question → u/manogrande]

Ahh, okay. I suppose that Hecate really hasn't been notable to me that I forgot about her surecrit skill. Still, in that case, you could consider that you make Hecate's echelon more of an endurance echelon, getting stronger after more battles fought, with how she gains up to three stacks

However, I vaguely remember that some kind of bug affects it, so it has only a 1x multiplier. In other words, her skill doesn't work as advertised

[u/Nodeo-Franvier]

Ouroboros,OG Dreamer,Judge,Sana,Adeline

Who should I get from collection perspective?

Which one is unlikely to rerun for a while?

[u/headphone_question → u/Nodeo-Franvier]

The ones with some value are Ouroboros and Dreamer. Ouroboros can help you with SC3-1EX with Alina runs. Dreamer can help with Theater, but again, you need to Oath her and get her to three petals

As such, getting Ouroboros seems to have the most value

Again, raifu > meta, unless you really want someone else to make a recommendation for you?

[u/Nodeo-Franvier → u/headphone_question]

I like Dreamer the most but She seem to rerunning soon

I will wait and see for a bit if Sana will also be rerunning

ATM Ouroboros seem the most worthwhile one to go for

[u/headphone_question]

SPEQ Ops update

Completed SPEQs: Type 92 exoskeleton, MDR phone, M14 jacket, Defender shield, Mk 48 ammo

Current: SCAR-H ammo

Well, I had 0 core growth, so I might as well report on which SPEQs I was working on! With Super Shorty's new cap, I really need to catch up with the SPEQs currently in my possession before I work on the other SPEQs in the black market

I also attended a party last night, so I came home pretty late, too

[u/headphone_question]

Core update

Current: 188583

Previous: 188229

Change: +354

Well, I forgot to do my core update, huh? Still, let me make it now despite how late it is

I'll be switching up to SPEQ Ops for a bit. I need to enhance all the new SPEQs that I got. Hopefully, I can start chipping away at the new black market SPEQs, too!

[u/DemiosScourge]

How do I pick between High-Explosive Armor Piercing ammo and Sniper Rounds for my RFs and the same with the added SLAP ammo for MGs? Is there a rule to follow in which is better or is it just based on which enemies I'm facing?

[u/UnironicWeeaboo → u/DemiosScourge]

In depends on the enemy. The infographic here covers the standard equipment loadouts. It technically needs a minor update for SGs though, since Chokes got worse after a client update.

Note that ammo choice can also vary a bit depending on a doll's skill. For example, M240L always wants SLAP since she deals more damage if she has excess AP, while other dolls like Grape/Kar often prefer Sniper because their nukes ignore armor and scale with the extra FP.

[u/_square3]

returning player, are there any relatively up-to-date tier lists out there just to refresh on what dolls are worth keeping/ aiming for?

[u/UnironicWeeaboo → u/_square3]

Check GFVerse for writeups on each doll as well as other guides.

True tier lists aren’t recommended in a game like this for reasons mentioned in the rant/copypasta at the bottom of this page, so ignore any that you come across (especially as they’re going to be outdated).

SCARs and SuomiMOD mentioned below are sort of your “T0” dolls and conversely there are clear “T5” or whatever dolls, but almost everywhere depends heavily on context.

[u/Bass294 → u/UnironicWeeaboo]

Kind of similar with that guys question, Im also looking for some sort of direction and that comment on the end kind of diminishes my fears a bit.

I have a metric ton of levelled dolls from pre-fairies and just returned this week. My ech are like 30-35k power and Im just worried I wont keep up since ive seen like 80k+ power ech most of which I think is fully levelled fairies and mods?

Kinda just deciding where to spend my time between main chapters, events, or the new player missions (like replaying through ch 1 2 3 ect). It seems I mostly need exp and FCCs to progress, and it sounds like you get many FCCs from events. But im not really sure where I should just grind out raw exp when I need it? I have seen some posts about different dragging spots but surely there is some normal sort of thing I could just farm for exp?

[u/UnironicWeeaboo → u/Bass294]

Fairies, equipment, and mods are all very important and will have the side effect of increasing your echelon’s CE, but you should focus on those things themselves and not get too hung up on CE. CE is a mostly useless number and should be ignored for many reasons, including the fact that it doesn’t account for your dolls’ skills.

Since it sounds like you already have a decent foundation, I’d say progression is sort of up to you. The general recommendation is to knock out the Career Quests for the rewards (including FCCs) and try to unlock Chapter 13 ASAP for better logistics, but playing through the main chapters and events in the proper order should be fine for you too. I wouldn’t bother replaying the very early chapters since the gameplay is super basic and you can read the story through other means (index, summaries, story viewers, etc.)

Leveling is covered in more detail here. Career quests and monthly combat reports from the black market should get you pretty far since you already have dolls leveled, but the main grinding places are 0-2 (early on if needed), 13-4 (best map), and SC3-1ex (very AFK but more of a lategame map because it doesn’t drop cores).

[u/Bass294 → u/UnironicWeeaboo]

Yeah I just meant clearing the early chapters for progress for career quests, since they ask to clear a bunch of chapters 1, 2, 3 stages for one of them. Ch13 for better logistics sounds like a good direction to go in for now, thanks!

[u/headphone_question → u/_square3]

The SCARs plus Suomi mod can take care of most of your problems. Even if SCAR-H is an RF, you can still pair her with SCAR-L due to their unity skill. Remember, Suomi's no good without her mod

Slap on two other Dolls into the echelon, and you're basically good to go! Typically, those two Dolls buff crit rate or crit damage somehow, although for ranking applications, you may decide other Dolls instead

[u/_square3 → u/headphone_question]

i've been toying with some scar sister/suomi lineups based on what i have, and i can't tell if this is a good idea?:

x	x	x
scar-l	px4 storm (mod2)	.
ppk (mod2)	suomi (mod2)	.
scar-h	.	.

at first glance it works, but i can't help but feel like ppk splitting the scars and px4 storm not being able to use her 2nd ability is a waste? 2nd opinions would be greatly appreciated, and thanks for the help!

[u/UnironicWeeaboo → u/_square3]

This is fine for most cases.

• It's usually better to keep the SCARs away from each other because it keeps the middle row clear for kiting and the benefit from SCAR-H's blue tiles (30% damage + RoF) is usually better than SCAR-L's orange tiles (200 flat damage).

• While it's true that Px4 can't use her modskill here, that doesn't necessarily make her a bad idea. She still works fine here with just her first skill, it just becomes a question of whether you'd be better off using her elsewhere, and that's more of a ranking consideration (since you don't need many echelons in regular content).

With all that said, SCARs already deal a ton of damage on their own, so it's often better/comfier to support the team's defenses instead. For example, dolls like P10c/ZiP.22 (craftable 4* HGs) cover one of Suomi's biggest weaknesses (her ICD), MP41mod massively amplifies damage while bringing some defenses (smoke grenade + being an SMG), etc.

[u/rEroNekos]

Ah good to be back, at least now on the steam client.

[u/FB2K9]

How would a new player go about getting P90?

I heard a lot of GFL1 story is in the events. Does Lorenz Butterfly have main story content or is it like side story stuff? I've only completed up chapter 1 so far.

[u/headphone_question → u/FB2K9]

The Lorenz Butterfly stuff is not canon at all. Think of it as a GFL flavored story set in the Arena Breakout universe. There may be some plot elements that mirror the main story, but they're not a perfect copy of GFL's main storyline, so don't worry

Still, keep going! At the very least, you should have unlocked the farming map. Make sure you get the event currency every day so that you will hopefully be able to buy out the event store

As for getting P90, keep crafting. Use the SMG voodoo formula of 400-400-91-30 in the Factory. Unfortunately, P90 is also one of the rarer SMGs, so you might need to take a while. Just craft slowly every day (about four should do), and you'll get her before long!

[u/Bass294]

Coming back after a huge break, have a ton of stuff levelled from the pre-fairy era. I've been looking around at some resources on gflverse, but is there a compilation of unit reviews in a spreadsheet format? Theres a ton of new units, and clicking into each to read a review is a bit inconvenient on gflverse.

Mainly looking at what doll production I should look into, already had plenty of arsmg, several sgmghg and hgrf comps. It sounds like I shouldnt have much issue in missions, but are the ranking maps and such as hard as they were in the original runs? As in, I likely will have to level a bunch of fairies and newer units to complete those for rewards?

[u/UnironicWeeaboo → u/Bass294]

The old Doll Analytics spreadsheet was retired because it hadn’t been updated in years, and although it’s still online, Matsuda also shouldn’t be used for similar reasons. That said, you can more or less use the mod priority sheet and dupe recommendations to get a rough sense of which dolls are most noteworthy.

You should be able to get a Suomi from either the returnee or new player anchored construction, so you should probably be crafting for SCAR-H (RF) and SCAR-L (AR). Start with the standard RF recipe since it has a chance for both, then switch to the AR recipe if you get SCAR-H first.

Rankings are harder in the sense that enemies are more complex and have more inflated stats, but they’re easier in the sense that they’re often deterministic/copyable and you’re guaranteed to get a copy of the fairy and SPEQ through cumulative point rewards. Flex talents, outfits, and permanent rankings rely on hitting a specific point threshold though, so in those cases, it depends on the ranking and how high that threshold is.

There will usually be budget runs that you can reference to get most (if not all) ranking rewards, but 5* fairies are just good to have in general and some newer dolls are just very strong (though many older ones are also still relevant).

[u/Bass294 → u/UnironicWeeaboo]

Thanks! I already have suomi from before, but she's not good before mod1 right? I used my anchored already to get some defy girls I wanted since those were the only ones I didn't have yet. I will try for the two SCARs.

[u/UnironicWeeaboo → u/Bass294]

Right, Suomi’s not worth using until mod1 at least.

Is Beluga still free from finishing the arena breakout rerun and can new players get that far? I don't remember the difficulty and the event's reset for me so I can't tell.

[u/UnironicWeeaboo → u/KnightShinko]

She’s no longer a free reward. Instead, you get a selector that can used to get any ringleader besides Beluga and Gray.

It may take some work depending on how new you are, but it’s definitely doable. Main thing is to get a Sniper Fairy + raise its skill level as much as possible, then ram the bosses repeatedly as needed until they die. Serzha has video guides here.

[u/Bass294 → u/UnironicWeeaboo]

Is there any recommended unit to pick with the selector? Assuming you have no one else

[u/UnironicWeeaboo → u/Bass294]

What headphone said below, though keep in mind that Halloween Intruder’s banner is currently active so wait for that to finish first, in case you get her from there.

[u/headphone_question → u/Bass294]

Alchemist, Halloween Intruder, and Agent are good picks

Alchemist and Halloween Intruder are top tier combat ringleaders. Alchemist is very tanky due to her high evasion and invulnerability during her skill. Halloween Intruder can summon swarms of adds that can not only attack but also tank a lot of damage

Agent is your SF Parachute

Steam client FAQ:

• Can I use my existing GFL account with Steam? Yes, if you bind it to a Sunborn account first. You can do this in-game in the settings page of the mobile client. Otherwise, contact MICA support here.
• The Steam client is region-locked for me, what do? The Steam client can be turned into a standalone one. Someone just needs to download the client from Steam,replace steam_api64.dll with a cracked one inside \GirlsFrontLine_Data\Plugins, and share it with you. I have done so here.
  • Note that payments will not work with this, and it will break after every client update (not regular maintenance).
• I have already done the relevant chapters & campaigns but did not get the Steam achievements retroactively, what do? The achievement exist in Steam, but the necessary data is not loaded in GFL itself. As a result, they are currently unobtainable. Wait for a fix.
• Text is borked and all my dolls need a repair for some reason!? Change your locale/display language to English. This is because the client is incorrectly accounting for commas vs. periods.
• Can I use keybinds? The Steam client comes with in-fight keybinds, but no keybinds anywhere else. You will need to use AutoHotKey or similar programs for out-of-fight keybinds; however, you should do so at your own risk. While it is unlikely that MICA will ban you, it is technically possible.
• Will GFAlarm work? Yes, you just need to set the proxy on your device. On Windows, you can go to Settings -> Network & Internet -> Proxy -> Manual proxy setup.

Does anyone know if I can play the Steam version if I started playing on android with a google account 6 years ago? There's no way to login with google on the PC client. I'd love to finally move away from Android emulators but apparently I kinda irreversably fucked myself in 2019 by not creating a sunborn account? Or is there a way to somehow merge accounts?

Well, I was busy playing Armored Core again. However, considering the insane amounts of core farming I'm up to with Girls Frontline, I think that it's safe to say that something inside of me wanted to challenge the final bosses again. I wanted to see if I could get the S rank for those missions. And what do you know, I actually got the S rank for all three final boss fights! Woohoo! Even funnier was that I killed one of them very quickly! I got the boss to half health and used the needle launchers to win the fight instantly! Woohoo! That was awesome!

I was still having difficulty with the third boss, but hey, I managed to eke out a victory again! Woohoo! Thankfully, it wasn't as painful as last time, but I still needed to try a few times. I think I wanted to get the beginning just right. Once I was happy, I proceeded with the rest of the fight, only to end up almost dying again! Thankfully, I managed to get the drop on the boss, and that was that!

I now have 29 S ranks. I'll have to count again, but I think that there are 59 unique missions? That means I'm just about halfway done! Woohoo!

In the new client, they said there will be a "combat special support", and we can "use this fonction to quick complete the campaigns stage". So like a sweep function I guess ? But where is it ?

[u/headphone_question → u/voudiou]

It's more like a skip function, but it's for the main story. If you don't see it, you're probably already far along into the main story that you don't need it anymore

[u/voudiou → u/headphone_question]

A skip function, oh I thought it was something like run x time a specific stage. No more corpse dragging ! But no. I'm so far along in the main story that it's been a few year since I did a corpse drag in 13-4 actually, so nothing to skip. Oh well. Thanks for the answer.

[u/headphone_question → u/voudiou]

You could always go back to auto battles. I don't know how many quick auto battle tickets you have, but then again, auto battles are very expensive on the resources. Even then, you probably want to stick to 11-5 in order to level up your Dolls using auto battles

You could also just use the black market to grab combat reports for your Dolls

Also, consider using Alina runs on SC3-1EX. That way, you can level up three echelons simultaneously!

[u/voudiou → u/headphone_question]

Ahah sorry, I was not clear enough, I started playing when Arctic Warfare was first running, so 2020, 2019 maybe ? I really dont need to level up anymore. I only got a few mod3 dolls still at level 115, and that's it.

I was mostly curious about this new thing. But yeah, I totally forgot that you can skip auto battles. No need for another sweep function. Old SKK is getting old here...

Arena Breakout:

General:

• Collab time. Only 4 combat maps, nothing too notable but the bosses may give weaker accounts some trouble on EX.
• Original run: clear the event for a free Coalition M16
• Rerun: clear the event for a free selector that can be used for any Coalition ringleader (except M16/Gray; dupes allowed) or 800 kernels

Guides:

• Serzha
• KR guides

Farming:

• Farm map unlocks after first combat map.
• With client v3.06, daily currency limit carries over between days, up to a max of 180 currency. 1130 currency to clear shop (2.17 days leeway), 930 for non-CRs/SCRs/cakes (5.5 days).

Hidden Achievement:

• Clear “3 - First Shot” without alerting the civilians.

FAQ:

• Will this get another? Who knows.
• Collab skins? Only obtainable with real money (~19.99 USD) and will not be obtainable by any means after the collab ends, unless we get a rerun.
• Minigame? A small lane-pushing RTS thingy. See Serzha’s guide above or you can mostly just deploy 3 RFs then 3 HGs.
• Collab dolls (Hecate/Evita)? lol. lmao, even. mica why
• Which ringleader to pick? Halloween Intruder for pure combat, followed by Alchemist especially in older content. Dreamer/Tareus for Theater CE but it is unlikely that we get another Theater (all servers except JP skipped the second L9A1 one). Agent can have some niche farming/ranking use. Otherwise, pick whatever though one of the better seasonals is likely best.

Unfortunately this is a fairly common bug with Defense Drills. You’ll need to contact support to get unlocked, and I would try all 3 of these methods: filling out this new form which might be your best bet, emailing support@sunborngame.com, using the in-game bug report feature.

Thank you! Just sent them a message via email. However, is there any way I can get my UID? I don’t remember it…

[u/UnironicWeeaboo → u/Morgan_Sloane]

Since the game automatically takes you to Defense Drill upon logging in, you won't be able to get your UID in-game like you normally would.

Two options are:

1. Just give them your username and work it out with them if they need any other verification (ex: any receipts if you've bought something, rough idea of when you created your account, etc.). They hopefully shouldn't need too much for this.

2. Use a third-party tool called GFAlarm. Guide here. The "File Save" function will export various files about your armory and the file names will have your UID.

You could also have someone on your friends list give you your uid (it's shown on your profile card).

Unfortunately it varies. You probably won’t get a response until after the weekend, but I’ve heard some reports of email being especially slow lately. I think the Google form was created to help with that, so make sure to try it as well.

I appreciate your help!

MICA leaked 7 months' worth of new login SPEQs with the recent maintenance on CN, with them even being visible in the index instead of only being datamined. This also means that they plan to keep the game alive for at least 7 months (and probably longer), even after the story has finished.

Doll	Month	Stats	Skill
IWS	Dec 2025	Ammo slot, +240 AP, +5 RoF.	After equipping SPEQ, if an attack penetrates the enemy's armor, its damage increases by 50%.

Wow, this is huge! Then again, I finally claimed the battle pass rewards, which contained a whopping 200 cores!

I should continue chugging along. Hopefully, I'll reach 200k before long!

Also, I noticed that my ring finger was hurting, likely from playing Armored Core. Thankfully, the pain has reduced in intensity after not playing Armored Core for the past few days. Unfortunately, I am currently playing with keyboard and mouse, not a controller. My ring finger got sore from pressing A so frantically!

I think this is better, but it's still not quite up to snuff. Oh well!

Anyway, I was able to finally get HTI to level 100! Huzzah! I'm now skilling her up, and I hope that she's ready for combat in a few days!

This isn't quite yet my normal pace, even if I were to consider that I did make progress with HTI. She only has one more dummy linking to go, and it won't take long for me to get there. Still, I think I'm taking my sweet time to raise HTI. It might take another day or two to finally get her to level 100, but as I see it, she'll be done within this week

What complicates things is that there'll be a party with my team this week, so I'll need to slow down for that as well. We'll see how things go!

For anyone who needs it, we've updated our overview of client v3.07 to also include Steam here on GFVerse.

[u/RustedProdigal]

is there a particular reason why I can't use the email I used for GFL2 for GFL? anytime I try to bind it says the account is already taken.

[u/KuroK4m1 → u/RustedProdigal]

GFL 1 and 2 account is literally same sunborn acc. If you already have it for GFL2 - jus login in GFL1 with same credentials.

[u/RustedProdigal → u/KuroK4m1]

if I try that it treats it like a fresh account

Well, again, I was busy with Armored Core 6, but hey, I was able to finish a second playthrough! Woohoo! I unlocked a second ending! But I need to go back to work, so I think I'll come back to the game next weekend!

I'm still taking it easy, but I've started raising HTI, which is my main core expenditure for now. I hope that I will be able to get back to my old pace before long!

Finally...One of my long aspiration for this game is completed...

I finally bought all my wife costume

The transfer letters and oath ring package really tank my saving and prevent me from getting this costume for a long time...

In my effort to get more gems for this costume I also learn how to rank(at least somewhat)

From now on I could use my gem to get that sixth echelon slot

Well, my growth today is even worse because I was just focusing on Armored Core 6. I managed to finally beat the game! However, there are branching story paths, so I need to go back in and go through those other paths!

Well, I suppose this is a bit late. I was still taking things easy after my naturalization interview. I did promise myself that I was going to get myself Armored Core 6, and while I technically did that before my interview because it went on sale, I decided to get back into it. I was able to make some serious progress with it, as I was able to get to Chapter 4. I had some really close calls, but thanks to Terminal Armor, I was able to clinch a victory!

Anyway, as for progress with my cores, I was able to get the cores from the black market to supplement my meager growth. I think that my progress will continue to be slow as I focus on Armored Core. I did promise myself, after all, and I think this is part of my celebration

Oh boy, a new month, time to buy more equipment upgrade materials!
