[tribal sleet]

press them and find out

[sweet spindle]

i see

nice

[molten socket]

on a scale of F to S how good is the Drill legendary

i like it

[old pewter]

really quite capable

[shadow mural]

I would say how good it is is very character dependent. For someone like Engineer for example, who has a slow fire rate and relies on gravity for his primary attack, probably no higher than a D. For ranged characters with fast attack speed? Pretty strong, but sadly caps at 4 stacks. So I can't give the item itself higher than an A ranking.

[warm hemlock]

Tbf barring command, when're you stacking a single legendary item

Even in 2 you don't really have that many oppourtunities to stack them barring bazzar soups (which costs 10 green items)

[shadow mural]

I tend to play loop runs a lot, and I've gotten more than one Heaven Cracker on numerous occasions.

Prestige can also help give you more legendary items, even though I personally don't use it much.

[warm hemlock]

Still, barring hardlooping when're you getting more than 4 heaven crackers
And even then if you loop deep enough theres a certain point where you just kinda kill everything

(The game scales exponentially but at some point there is a softcap to make it so Hardlooping isn't too bad)

[shadow mural]

Even so, most if not all other legendary items continue to stack past 4, even if it's through diminishing returns (please correct me if I'm wrong). The fact that Heaven Cracker doesn't at least get some sort of damage buff or some other bonus effect from the 5th stack onward is kinda disappointing.

[warm hemlock]

Again, you aren't really gonna get 4 stacks in most normal runs in the first place
I don't really think its enough to change my rating of the item but ydy

[shadow mural]

Keyword: normal runs

Some people prefer to play by looping + with artifacts, so I gave my ranking with that in mind. I still gave it an A ranking, for what it's worth.

[molten socket]

does massacre count towards 50 eviscerations

yes it does i got my answer lol

very cool fucking upgrade

[jovial field]

<@&559786374228738069> woah cool thank you mr breast

[wise dove]

cvzsr was banned.

[dusk raven]

Guys how do i go to stage 9 without facing mithrix?

Im working for mercenary btw

[warm hemlock]

This is for risk of rain returns (not 2)
That being said you cannot obliterate and fight Mithrix

If you're talking about how to loop: Go to the teleporter on stage 5 and interact with the slanted pillars
After you finish the teleporter you'll loop instead of being sent to the moon

[dusk raven]

Ok ty

[random coral]

guys how come whenever I go really far in risk of rain returns (e.g. stage 130) the total score count just adds up to zero

[warm hemlock]

Dunno what specifically you need help with

[random coral]

how can i make my score show up normally without glitching

[boreal ermine]

fuck do you mean "stage 130"

[warm hemlock]

I don't quite know if theres a way to make it not glitch out barring maybe mods

[boreal ermine]

mods are not helping with that

[warm hemlock]

That being said I've looped all the way to stage 50 before I think and the score was normal

[random coral]

i mean reaching stage 130 through looping

i just use save mod so that I can keep going in case it crashes

[boreal ermine]

it's a ridiculous amount of stages and also doesn't really matter because who cares about the score

[random coral]

yeah i guess you’re right

[random coral]

how do you stop lag yall? Idk why it keeps crashing for me. is there a setting in windows or a mod that you can install to stop lag while keeping the gameplay normal?

[lost ridge]

you are on stage 130 😭

[boreal ermine]

🐱

why are you even playing to that many stages

are you really still having fun? trying to shoot for a world record??

[heavy dragon]

which artifacts is OP?

[wanton wagon]

Define OP?

[random coral]

I grew up with risk of rain 1 and when RoRR came out, i just wanted to push myself to the max

i use some mods to manage the lag but it doesnt really help when I’m like 6 hours into a game and the scaling is very high

[alpine arrow]

Do we have any idea whether rorr is going to get any future updates or dlcs?

[boreal ermine]

it's not going to get anything beyond maybe another small patch at the very best

rather egregious bug introduced by the last one which needs to get a fix pushed.....

[alpine arrow]

Aight thanks

[fallow oxide]

you could say a bug in the food

[pallid crater]

does anyone know how robomando's unlock is referred to in save.json?

[echo flower]

just get a save.json from someone

or get a life

[grim plover]

wth is this portal rising up in the middle of the void map after defeating the void boss?

[zealous pilot]

Wrong channel, you want #ror2-game-questions

[grim plover]

my fault

[zealous pilot]

ur good, its not the first time

[sterile oracle]

was this like an insane run

[hexed summit]

Once the game gives up on actually trying to kill you it tried ending your run with a crash from too many overloading magma worms

[nocturne tartan]

command, swarms, sacrifice is a very common combo for “god runs”

nicknamed “comswac” by some (me)

[warm hemlock]

These are the ror2 artifacts

[warm hemlock]

And if you're asking specifically about returns, swarms doesn't exist in it

Cognition however does, which does technically add more enemies (Its a bit harder to kill them compared to swarms though)

Personally I think that Command Sac is already one of the lamest ways to play the game but hey I wont judge if you find it fun

[nocturne tartan]

the guy I was responding to had a pic of ror2 wiki, so I assumed he was talking about ror2

[warm hemlock]

Potentially shouldn't have ping replied since that wasn't directed at you

[hexed summit]

Classic

Ror2 chatter in returns chat

[nocturne tartan]

true

[sullen yoke]

So I've played ror2 and ror2013 and just got rorr
Should I know about anything new before playing or is this just ror2013 with some new survivors

[lost ridge]

its ror1 but better in like. every way

tons of qol and content

[sullen yoke]

Ooh alright

[west peak]

ror1 with the lessons from ror2, some nasty surprises and balance changes to some items

[native wing]

Pretty sure it goes to negatives and the game defaults to zero or something

[native wing]

For returns? Prestige, glass, command, honor, dissonance and the ghosts one

[native wing]

How does the game process enemies death by fall damage?

[boreal ermine]

what

[shadow mural]

You can't die from fall damage

[wanton wagon]

Can Enemies Die from Fall Damage?

[boreal ermine]

no

[wanton wagon]

Ahk

[runic fox]

They can, however, die from falling out of the map if it has such pits.

I don't think it counts as your kill, so far as items are concerned, but you do still get all the xp and gold nonetheless, since that's given to all players regardless of who or what got the kill.

Basically, it doesn't trigger on-kill items, besides that there's no difference on if you kill them or they just fall out of bounds.

[grand geyser]

QUESTION:
I only have ror1 and not returns, I’m missing 3 survivors and idk who they are
My assumptions are pilot, drifter, and chef,

Are merc and artificer not in this version?

[boreal ermine]

pilot and arti and drifter are not in ror1

[grand geyser]

Oh……

[boreal ermine]

chef's annoying to get, but is the most broken OP character in that game, if you're interested in that

[grand geyser]

Interesting…
I really wanted to just try Han-d, enforcer and miner, but it’ll be worth it to unlock chef

So is that huntress merc and chef I’m missing

[boreal ermine]

yeh

[grand geyser]

Thx

So how do you unlock them?
The only wiki I can find is the one for returns

[boreal ermine]

ror1's in-game unlocks menu should tell you what you need to do

[grand geyser]

Ah, I see, thx

I’m pretty sure merc’s is just “win the game 5 times” and chef’s is where you gotta grab a bunch of items and whatnot..
Oh so the monster log is for huntress, I see, nvm

[compact blade]

i'm starting RoRR, any advice for a newbie?

[opal crow]

Look for the blue shrubbery and vines

[warm hemlock]

As a general rule of thumb despite the reputation some people may have with it, don't default to rushing every stage as fast as possible

This goes for both risk of rain games but imo "Minute Rules" are stupid and should almost always never be followed
(I don't mean "Don't leave a stage" Just don't forget items).

[warm hemlock]

There are ways to make looting faster mind you (Most notably, the teleport has no charging radius so you can still loot whilst its active)

[mental hemlock]

is there any way to increase fps in the game

60fps is a bit too low for my liking especially cuz i have a 165Hz monitor

[boreal ermine]

nope

the game is explicitly tied to 60fps an there is no way to change that

[vast bronze]

60fps being too low is insane to me

[wanton wagon]

Calls me Broke
Also, Are you talking about RoR Returns or RoR2?

[mental hemlock]

returns

in ror2 you can get as many fps as you want

[mental hemlock]

i mean i'm not saying it's unplayable but having an option to increase that would be nice

[boreal ermine]

it would require a complete rewrite of how the game works to support higher framerates

[vast bronze]

My monitor is 30hz bro im in the trenches

[boreal ermine]

dear god

[wanton wagon]

It function
Thats sall that matters

[vast bronze]

Barely. Its 19 years old

It was on a desk unplugged for years. My siblings used that desk as a makeup station and it was just a mess. Theres some sort of makeup product... stuff. Its on the monitor and I tried to scrape it off and it dissolved my nail...

So I decided to just not touch it.

[wanton wagon]

Thats Thing on Screen is whats Draining your frames

[mental hemlock]

what the fuck

[vast bronze]

No idea what it is. It has the feel of like... the back of a price tag that you try your hardest to get off of something but it leaves paper behind.

[wanton wagon]

We Exist bro dont be shocked

[wanton wagon]

It also looks Like a Glue-esque Substance

[vast bronze]

Idk what it is. But my setup is this shit monitor, and a wiimote

[wanton wagon]

Wiimote is so Peam

[spiral veldt]

can you unlock robomando in a multiplayer run for both players?

[wide whale]

is anyone having a problem where the game immediately crashes after opening? it pulls up a command prompt for a split second and just fully closes after being like 10% done loading

[silk tinsel]

Once or twice for me, but then I just had to re-download it

[wide whale]

I re-download it and it still happens this way. Taking a video reveals it has something to do with return of modding which seems to automatically be downloading itself when the game opens

[silk tinsel]

Ohhhhh maybe grt rid of the mods?

[winged hull]

I believe you can… just need to follow the correct steps

[wide whale]

I have none. I dont know where on my computer is saying to install this folder.

[chilly pollen]

hey does anyone have a good idea for what alts to use for miner?

also pilot

[hexed summit]

I use 1121

For both miner and pilot

Burnout is so much fun on miner it allows you to play riskier but also gain passive heat generation from when no one is spawning allowing you to go into scorching and then spam dash your way across the stage

And then dash is required for a good time on pilot

Once you start doing movement tech on pilot you won’t go back

[distant gull]

I'd really like to get RORR when it goes on sale but I don't know how well my CPU could handle it, are there any optimization options in the settings?

[zealous pilot]

Your computer would have to be pretty damn shitty to not be able to run RoRR, its a very lightweight game

However yes there are a few optimization settings

You can turn off all particle effects but i think that might actually be it

For what its worth, RoRR runs about as well on high-end machines as it does on low-end machines

[distant gull]

[zealous pilot]

My old PC had a shitty Radeon RX 580, 8GB of DDR4 RAM and a shitty Intel i5 processor, and it ran about as well as my new PC, that has a RTX 5070 12GB graphics card, a Ryzen 7 8700F 8-Core CPU and 32GB of DDR5 RAM

[wanton wagon]

"Shitty i5" Son what world do youo live in!?

[zealous pilot]

A CPU released in 2014 with 4 cores cant really compete with the games coming out today, "son"

It certainly isnt a bad CPU but it was not a good CPU for my needs

"son"

The least you could do is check my profile, "son"

[muted rivet]

daughter 😭 /j

[silk tinsel]

Burnout=rage meter

[frozen notch]

i be playing rorr on my stupid piece of dick thinkpad x1 and it runs perfectly

used ot be laggy asf on modded but that was an issue everyone had anyways

[wanton wagon]

Nah Thats Too Many Clicks, but thanks for the ss
I Will forget it in a week

[ivory verge]

can anyone offer any insight to what is happening here

[zealous pilot]

Bug introduced in the most recent patch, where CHEF's Oil Jar ticks the flame damage for every single frame

(or something to that effect)

[ivory verge]

lovely

[zealous pilot]

The devs submitted an update containing the fix to Gearbox but it hasnt been released yet, and we're unsure if/when it ever will

However, there are modded fixes if you're playing on PC

Wait. ofc ur playing on PC . thats the only thing the recent update came out on LOL

The modding API (a dependency for every mod, so you'll have it installed no matter what) comes packaged free with the bugfix, so you wont have to worry about installing a specific one

[wooden yew]

so i got acrid obsidian skin somehow on the final stage, and from what i saw after a quick google, that’s supposed to screw up artifact of spirit

maybe it’s screwed up and just not in the way i’d imagine it would be screwed up, but i can still enable and disable it, and it works as it’s meant to afaik

is there something wrong or am i good to just forget it and move on with my day

[wanton wagon]

Check your Steam Achievments for Artifact of Spirit Unlock

[wooden yew]

oh damn i don’t have it

and i don’t have artifact of origin achievement either wtf

[wanton wagon]

Thats the bug

I forgot what Origin got mixed up with tho

[wooden yew]

what’s spirit swapped with

obsidian acrid prism location i assume?

and after another quick google it seems like i should be able to just do artifact of origin unlock run and get the achievement

i don’t think origin is swapped with anything because i have every achievement except those 2 and judgement trials

[wooden yew]

i did every judgement trial except robomando and got a sub 16:40 but it’s still not gold on the selection screen

do i need to do it with robomando

or does it just not appear gold like other providence trials

[hexed summit]

Yes

Time isn’t a factor

But characters are

[wooden yew]

alright, thanks a lot :))

[calm hill]

hi hello, just tried ror (2013) and the settings were so wonky for me (ror2/fps player) i'm wondering if anyone has suggestions for keybinds ? or do i just go grab ror returns while its on sale since i hear its settings are better

[lost ridge]

didnt even know 2013 had keybind settings

rorr is like. better in every way

[west peak]

the only reason to play ror1 is for mods or if you already played it before rorr came out really

with it i use almost the same binds i use in returns. i think all i change from default is to move the teleporter choice, the use item and the item swap buttons to be next to the skills

the main thing was to keep the teleporter bind from getting accidentaly pressed

[old pewter]

maybe try wasd jkl;

[calm hill]

mm okay, just wanted to give ror a try since it was on sale. you can't even bind your m1/m2 on it which would have eliminated my issue entirely 💔

[old pewter]

you could use something like autohotkey to use mouse binds

[calm hill]

yeahhh i tried jkl; its brawlhala settings lmao, but it still felt so weird. granted i played like 20 minutes of it

[calm hill]

ou ill give this a try

ty🫡

[old pewter]

you could also try playing on a controller

its pretty nice on controller

[calm hill]

unfortunately i do not have a controller 💔

[old pewter]

btw jumping is very useful in dodging

:)

and theres no shame in playing drizzle to get hang of how the game plays either

[calm hill]

ty i really jumped in on monsoon like id do well lmfao

and i guess i spam my jump more . which is kind of a sin in every other game LOL

[old pewter]

hehe yep

have fun !! ror1 is still a real fun one once you sink yer teeth in :)

[calm hill]

thank you!! i will give it a try later again 😄

[calm hill]

drizzle beating my ass

https://tenor.com/view/crying-emoji-dies-gif-21956120

please toss some macro tips my way

[west peak]

watch how enemies behave and learn them, prioritise items and skills with aoe and pierce, don't linger too much

[hexed summit]

Learn which enemies can jump, which ones can climb, and which ones can’t do either and are stopped by a ledge

[low dagger]

I gave this a shot, thank you. Genuinely feels amazing.

[old pewter]

hehe nice !!

no problem :)

its really nice that you only really need one stick, so you can always quickly use face buttons without moving yer hand

[supple sable]

Is there a fast way to get to wave 50 on the dlc (i forghot the name) im tryna unlock a new character

[wanton wagon]

Kind Gendered Individual

Please read the channel name
Thank You

[old pewter]

try #ror2-game-questions next time

but no there isnt, sorry

ig you could do artifact of sacrifice and drizzle

[knotty ravine]

Do i need to complete 25 consecutive stages as a character or it is just 25 m

[warm hemlock]

Not consecutive I think but like, doing the trials 9/10 is significantly less time consuming than doing the alt unlocks for their alts

[inner marsh]

ay me too. took. forever. til I finally won

[calm hill]

ive yet to meet that sweet victory but Soon..
