[foggy gust]

do enemies scale with time in the trials or nah?

[primal valve]

Depends on trial

[frigid quail]

i believe in certain ones like judgment i have heard it scales with time

[primal valve]

Some do, some don't

[foggy gust]

sorry specifically judgement

[primal valve]

Judgement does

[foggy gust]

ok ty

[primal valve]

It isn't too impactful on runs under 30 minutes

[foggy gust]

yea, I was seeing the captains brooch and was tempted to take it and cheese

[primal valve]

Personally just recommend grabbing the heart to have more consistant runs

[slender creek]

Captains brooch cheese rarely actually cheeses for the record

[peak marsh]

?

[jovial field]

acrid's bubble touching a bramble's head crashes the game. known issue, should be fixed next patch

[peak marsh]

👍

[mild sun]

are the coop lobbies listen servers?

[hearty sandal]

i think this is just a steam issue, it did this with terraria for me a few days ago and another time, made my game close bc my headphones disconnected. im also sure that restarting the game is the only thing that fixes it :c

[wraith iris]

does artifact of origin count as hidden event boss for huntress achievement

[strong idol]

the imp vanguard counts

[sturdy widget]

Is there a way to make the mouse cursor more visible

[pine cairn]

does anyone know if any part of colossal knurl scales with level? (in like, any way possible whether armor or regen)

I had a really good run that i lost to hubris and Im on a new one rn and Im trying to see if I can cope my way out of getting knurl

I think knurl is good early on tho Im just curious

[strong idol]

flat values that doesn't scale with level

good early but falls off the longer you go

[young trellis]

is there already mod support for risk of rain returns? If there was a temp save mod like there is for ror2 that'd be amazing

[elder patrol]

Not yet

[young trellis]

oh that's unfortunate

ty for lmk

[idle quarry]

at most there are a few language file edits

[cobalt canyon]

Hand-D "Kill 15 enemies at once using the Sawmerang"

which is the easier way to do that? seems kinda hard dropping the sawmerang and killing 15 enemies at once

[tender gazelle]

artifact of kin + glass + command, roll until you get lemurians, get a sawmerang and a couple of crowbars, keep chilling in a spot until enough non elite lemurians spawn

if you need to, you can also decrease your damage taken

[cobalt canyon]

thanks

[golden swallow]

are any of pilots new skills worth it?

[tender gazelle]

yeah theyre all good alternatives

[lapis yarrow]

not many people want to play multiplayer huh

[tender gazelle]

clovers work with artifact of honor right

[elder patrol]

Yes

Also works on Cognation elites too

[tender gazelle]

hm

no i dont think ill be adding cognation to my origin run

does anyone have some general tips for origin btw

[frigid quail]

Take it like a root and do cognation😼

[tender gazelle]

im playing with merc, my general strat rn is to stack barbed wires, my first two greens are clover and infusion then i do guardians heart prophets cape etc, and reds are umbrella then ceremonial knives

i have not gotten past stage 3

[frigid quail]

Your definitely gonna need movement speed if you get parents as an enemy, its gg if you cant get ways away

[tender gazelle]

yeah i get goat hooves sometimes as well

i dont only get barbed wires

[frigid quail]

Just warning you, those parents fill the screen with bombs

[tender gazelle]

yeah uh

i got parents once on sky meadows

i died after killing the first one

[frigid quail]

I got it stage one on co-op, 3 of us killed one and the last guy was like what happened?

[tender gazelle]

lol

im wondering what other whites should i try to get tho

and maybe any strats that i may have missed

[frigid quail]

Survivor wise i honestly recommend arti or pilot bc of the vertical attack, item wise hmm.. Crowbar wouldn't be that bad.

[livid garden]

stack toxins

the damage boost is helpful and you should be close as merc

lens makers are also useful because crit, and hermit scarves are very important

[indigo crescent]

So the secondary effect of aegis says it increases max barrier. What does that mean exactly?

[analog slate]

Lets you overheal/gain barrier past 100% of your hp afaik

[frigid quail]

Ya it allows barrier to stack indefinitely i believe, at least i have not been able to get it maxed out

[stuck kindle]

it doesn't let it stack infinitely

it increases your max barrier by something like 20% per stack iirc

20 or 25

your normal max barrier is equal to your max health

[analog slate]

mhm

[slender creek]

So i think i found something interesting with engi. When turrets “inherit” items, does it add them to their inventory, and does that mean duplicator adds temp items for everything? I ask this bc i picked up 1 dios and a duplicator in a run, and it seemed like one of my turrets revived twice during provi.

Maybe this could use some testing? I dont have a great was to do that.

I was thinking maybe give yourself a fire shield, place the turret, and then test that damage

And then give yourself a duplicator and then test it again with a new turret and see if it changes the damage

Or maybe you guys have figured out a way to look at turret inventories already

[elder patrol]

basically

When you deploy a turret, the turret receive all your items, like in a way it "picks" all of the items simultaneously

Any duplicator will grant all of said items another temp copy

At least in my theory

[slender creek]

Thats what i was thinking

It seems as though it kind of “picks up” every item as its deployed

If i was right abt the 2 dios

[pseudo nebula]

i have a genuine question for once

i huh WHAT

CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN?! IN WHAT WORLD IS PROVIDENCE A "SECRET EVENT BOSS"???? AND WHO WERE THE OTHER TWO (i only killed direseeker)??

[slender creek]

Acrid?

Origin imp?

[astral ibex]

Acrid, direseeker, providence and one other are secret bosses

[slender creek]

And cognation golem countes

[pseudo nebula]

fuck okay you're right

stop

[pseudo nebula]

thank you

@slender creek spoiler text pls???

he was on the money with his response i don't want to know who the other two are

[slender creek]

Sorry those werent on my list of spoiler marked things lol

[pseudo nebula]

can you spoiler text them now?

better late then never

or not that works too

[drowsy knoll]

why do tiny robot no alt attacks

cause lets face it its got 1 really good move and 3 pieces of trash

[primal valve]

Note that it is unique event bosses, not necessarily secret

[pseudo nebula]

if you read the screenie, in game it says hidden lol

[cursive notch]

that's the point

[drowsy knoll]

Also it reallt should've been explained better I thought it only worked on droids at first

[jolly pivot]

for the engineer's laser turret, does the health drain it has for it's attack go by percentage, or is it a set value? (ie: can I increase the time it shoots for by stacking HP items)

[primal valve]

Seems to be % based but Prophets cape+Hermits scarves can make them shoot infinitely

[jolly pivot]

nice

thanks

[fierce arch]

i think they just gain negative regen, maybe its based off % of max hp i never tested

[primal valve]

It is either %hp per shot or (x)hp per shot

That can be blocked with prophets cape and Hermits scarf atleast

[last hamlet]

hey im on the final stage and dont know how to get to the golden chest inbetween the platforms any tips?

[primal valve]

Depending on variant either from right of the chest has texture hinting for route or bit further and above container stack there is hidden rope

[primal valve]

Pictures of the routes for both variants

[young trellis]

It might just be a mistake in the description I think. Another place where the description is not entirely accurate is the gold medal description for one of the more significant providence trials, they show it as a time based goal but you just gotta do it bunch of times

also there's ceremonial daggers description lol

[pseudo nebula]

the final one, yeah. though it's funny cause i got the time AND the attempts

hopoo pls fix

[earnest sierra]

can the secret battery quest be done in multiplayer?

[primal valve]

yes

[earnest sierra]

sweet

how does that work exactly

can I get it into the equipment chest and then do a multiplayer?

[primal valve]

Haven't played much multiplayer so I'm not too sure how equipment chest works with Single/multiplayer but given chest spawns in Judgement that should work

[tender gazelle]

you have to be the host tho

[mossy oxide]

I haven't seen this in patchnotes or anything and I assume it would be undocumented. Not sure how much of this is spoiler so I'm using vague language. Have uh. Has a reward from the final Providence Trial been added for a certain Secret Dolly? I did it before the big patch and it gave me nothing, I don't want to waste my time doing it again just to get nothing again ||especially considering I have the game 100%'d otherwise||.

[tender gazelle]

nope

[mossy oxide]

Shame. Thanks though.

[dark yew]

how do funny pilot dash tech?

[primal valve]

angle dash to ground, spam jump without holding left or right

[mild sun]

Where the sacrifice artifact

[fierce arch]

magma barracks iirc @mild sun

[elder patrol]

Magma Barracks, old variants

You need a character with some form of AoE or pierce to hit the 3 buttons

[mild sun]

Ohh yeah thats right

Thanks

[mental scaffold]

What does the white t-shirt item do? It's the purpleish item you get from the secret on the mountain stage

[fierce arch]

probably increases your armor by 3(like in ror1), dont think anyone bothered to test it

[mental scaffold]

👍

[teal merlin]

Is kill providence while backflipping bugged? it didnt work for me.

[warm apex]

you gotta get the kill during the backflip animation

worked fine fo me

[strong idol]

i got it easily with lost doll

[primal valve]

1. It needs to be durning backflip animation, releasing secondary shoots after backflip ends so you need some external source of damage.
2. You can do the achievement durning any of the providences phases so you get 3 attempts per run.
3. Main strategy is to avoid on hit items so you don't have too high variance while lowering his health and use damage dealing equipment to time kill with backflip Lost Doll deals damage instant you press it so is one of the "easier" equipments to use, other decent options are Thqwib, Disposable Missile Launcher, Sawmerang, Nematocyst Nozzle and Instant Minefield each with differing timings, positioning and damage values.

[slender creek]

Drones also work nicely

[mellow berry]

Is the artifact of command restricted from Multiplayer?

[civic adder]

I’ve played Command on multiplayer just fine

[mild sun]

none of the artifacts are, unless voting is enabled and enough ppl vote against it

[primal valve]

If you are referring on not being able to pick all items, command only lets you pick unlocked items, multiplayer checks each players unlocks to open for each game.

[mellow berry]

it's unlocked and in the menu
for some reason it wasn't showing as unlocked before I restart the server

[primal valve]

Bit late reply but also every unlock is checked only when player joins the lobby so need to remake after each unlock to get them in the lobby

[mellow berry]

ROR:R engineer turets don't get his items right?

[fierce arch]

@mellow berry they do

[celest hornet]

Having trouble getting ancient wisp to spawn for the huntress challenge. the way im doing it i activate the 2nd teleporter at very easy on drizzle, does that effect its chances of spawning

i keep getting magma worm and lynx totem for some reason

is it less likely to spawn on very easy compared to the other two?

[tender gazelle]

nope

[tender gazelle]

disable new enemies in the rules, which will make it so lynx totem can't spawn

[celest hornet]

OK

[slender creek]

Also use glass and 2x damage

So you just pretty much instakill everythjng

Thats how i did it

[timid badger]

What are the specifics on the requirements for commando: untouchable? Is it just don’t get hit during the stage 3 to charge, or like don’t get hit all the way up to and including it

[slender creek]

Do not get hit until you activate teleporter

The achievement is completed on activation of 3rd teleporter

I usually go glass command but if you wanna do it modifierless be my guest

[primal valve]

Do not take damage until you activate stage 3 teleporter, Fall damage counts, Damage to Shield and Barrier Counts, Damage blocked by Prophets cape or Hermits Scarf doesn't count.
Main helpful tips would be to switch game rules to no new enemies (removes Lynx totems and Swifts Specifically from Stage 2 and 3) 200% damage dealt, 999% damage taken and Artifact of Glass on.
Since fall damage counts try to roll every time you jump down signifigant amount.

[jovial field]

yeah glass + 999% taken is basically a silver bullet for all those "don't get hit" challenges

because you'll know exactly when you've failed the challenge

[slender creek]

The achievement is so worth it for the funny boncc sticc

[primal valve]

Only thing is that since fall damage counts and is % based and cannot kill you it can be missed

[tender gazelle]

well mando's is the only one you'd want to use it for

miner gives you an extra hit

huntress is only during the boss

[old snow]

how come merc can parry hp sacrifice interactables but loader can't debris shield them

[tender gazelle]

built different

[old snow]

why does loader third hit not proc consistently

straight up ive only seen third hit proc once so far in my 30 minutes of playing loader

[old snow]

OH autofire doesn't proc 3rd hit stuff i see

[lime sentinel]

does pilots alt primary fire achievement need to be all 30 enemies at once?

[magic stone]

Not from what I remember

[lethal hornet]

nope you can do it inbetween runs

[lime sentinel]

i got the achievement already

[lethal hornet]

its just 30 total

gg then

[young trellis]

is snipers alt primary skill actually viable or is it just a joke lol

[hot otter]

try it and find out

[young trellis]

I have

I think it's garbage but im wondering if anyone has found success using it

I used to think saw on Mul-T in ror2 was garbage for the same reason until I saw how people used it

[mild sun]

Most success I've had is when I got lucky stage one and got big laser red item I made it to stage 5 then skill issued

[fickle dew]

Apologies if this has been asked before, but is RoRR getting future content/updates? Aside from bugfixes and such.

[young trellis]

I'm surprised you were even able to get to stage 5 with it

I feel like it could be a pretty decent skill only if it allowed you to sprint with it

[young trellis]

I'm wondering the same thing too tbh, I don't expect much but I'd hope to at least see mod/workshop support at some point

[earnest sierra]

I think if it gets workshop support it will make this game live on forever

[devout stag]

im a new player coming from ror2 (which i have around 250 hours in) and i was wondering if this was a god run, i was really struggling in my past coupel of runs and I'm trying to improve, but idk if i won this bc of getting better or just item luck

also i was playing miner

[warm apex]

i’ve gotten a lot of use out of it with quickscope

it’s good at keeping you alive and also repositioning enemies into your favor

[unkempt arrow]

anywhere i could find locations for all environment logs?

wiki seems incomplete

[autumn laurel]

wear is the janitor

[slender creek]

in a crate

do you want exact answers or hints

[autumn laurel]

hint

[slender creek]

there is a crate that looks different

it can be interacted with

[autumn laurel]

what stage i find crate on

[slender creek]

theres only one stage with crates

the last one

[autumn laurel]

oh i thougt crate was chest

[slender creek]

no no

the crates in the map

[wanton moon]

its like a shipping crate

[young trellis]

oh actually I've never tried quickscope before, I'll give that loadout a try then

[wanton moon]

my only problem with alt primary is it makes it really hard to get reload bonuses unless you’re cracked as hell

[worldly frigate]

is riks of rain cross platform

i wanna play with my friend

[slender creek]

no

[mild sun]

kind of a letdown a game like this doesn't have it, especially when lobbies are so few

[arctic umbra]

literally zero when i chked earlier

[magic stone]

Anyone know if miner's default primary pickaxe is supposed to stun enemies? Some games I find he can stunlock everything on screen and others nothing is stunned by him. Is this a bug or is there something about its mechanics I'm missing

[stuck kindle]

it doesn't stun

it can hitstun if you're doing enough damage

that's probably what you're noticing

[magic stone]

That's what I mean

Some games it does it every hit and sometimes never

[slender creek]

It depends on how much damage youre doing relative to the enemies max hp

Its called stagger

[young trellis]

does anyone know what is considered a lethal attack for the commando challenge? I can't seem to unlock the item for it

[stuck kindle]

and attack that would have killed you

[young trellis]

does it have to be on the same stage or something?

[stuck kindle]

no

[young trellis]

actually i think ik what the issue is

ive been using slide and i dont think that ability has iframes

[stuck kindle]

yeah it doesn't

you need to use roll

[slender creek]

I recommend roll with glass and 999% damage taken

[young trellis]

yeah ill give that a shot ty

[blissful bluff]

thquib or drone repair?

i dont know which one will actually be more usefull

cuz i like the drones, they're cool

but thquib seems strong

[slender creek]

If you have a lot of drones go drone

If not

Thqwib it up

[blissful bluff]

sounds fair

yooo i got infusion

yoo i got the lucky devil achievement

4 shrines in a row

[small frost]

How do I press this button to unlock artifact of distortion?

[primal valve]

You need to hit it with attack, hitbox for it can be bit wonky.

[small frost]

I got it, thanks!

[blissful bluff]

what is thaaaat

[small frost]

||Damp Caverns Stage variant #2||

[blissful bluff]

I have no idea what that means and i am OK with that

I like the drones is there a drone character (yes or no)

[mild sun]

sniper has a spotting drone, but it doesnt attack... you can play some characters that make drone builds fun... like ||robomando|| that can hack endless supply of drones you spot, then get drone specific item buffs and equipment that spawns extra drones, etc

[blissful bluff]

holdon are the stages procedurally generated?

[mild sun]

no, stages just have variants that spawn randomly

[young trellis]

there are multiple variations to each stage and that's the one you can find the button at

[blissful bluff]

that's what i thought because i just realized im on a map ive seen

[young trellis]

when you hit it you'll see what it activates

[blissful bluff]

does that mean the portal spawns in the same spot every time that variant happens?

[mild sun]

no, teles are random on every level, but after a while you can kind of predict their vague location

[blissful bluff]

oh ok

i like these salamander lizard dudes

they may be trying to kill me, but they're pretty chill about it

[blissful bluff]

what is this

oh i found another one

oh nvm im dead

lol

i'd still like to know what that did tho

[primal valve]

That combines 3 same drones into tier above (There are 3 tiers of each drone type) the other one scraps drone into random item, with each drone tier determining chances of rarity of the item

[young trellis]

I never knew there were so many tiers for the drones

is there a doc or anything to see them cuz i dont think there's a page on the wiki for them yet

[tender gazelle]

every drone type has 3 tiers

[tender gazelle]

this is the most the wiki has rn but basically
gunner --> attack --> gilded attack
healing --> medical --> gilded medical
missile --> rocket --> gilded missile
flame --> blaze --> gilded blaze
laser --> beam --> gilded beam
acquinted construct --> gilded construct

[primal valve]

https://riskofrainreturns.wiki.gg/wiki/Drones

[tender gazelle]

yeah it doesnt list the tiers there yet

[primal valve]

Hmm think I dreamt that then

[young trellis]

oh sick I didn't know drone scrapper gave that much loot either

also it would explain why I wasn't getting anything when I spent 5 min with one using the back up equipment lol

I thought i was just being unlucky

[grim orbit]

do the equipment activators negate the improvise challenge for sniper?

like it says to not pick up any items but maybe theres a glitch r something im not sure

i dont really wanna risk it without knowing y'know

[blissful bluff]

what is this

it isn't something i saw in the area until now

[grim orbit]

thats a scavenger its like a boss that uses items

[blissful bluff]

ah

[tender gazelle]

he's a silly goober with a rocket launcher

[primal valve]

safer not to

Since they aren't needed anyway

[blissful bluff]

||SO do i revisit previous levels or continue to the final?||

||like is there any reason I'd go back?||

||also is this good enough to beat the final level?||

[fierce arch]

some achievements

[blissful bluff]

oh ok

i died

||i went back on accident||

||I didn't realized they switched the buttons||

[quick edge]

welcome to risk of rain, thats a rite of passage

[old snow]

how do i make effective use of enforcer's kit

[mild sun]

use the shield

[old snow]

what do i do when they get behind my shield

[primal valve]

Base kit, or some alts?

[old snow]

i run the tackle

otherwise all default

[primal valve]

you don't let them is the simple solution

[mild sun]

when you can see them approaching and might wrap around you, you can let go of firing and walk back as firing decreases your speed

this lets you keep shield up and gain a bit of movement speed to get them back in front of you

if ttheyre approaching from behind, disengage the shield and reposition

[old snow]

ah so enforcer is more on positioning?

[primal valve]

Honestly don't over rely on shield and treat it as a fire rate buff, if enemies get close enough (or are bisons/parents/crabs that usually hit behind shield anyway) retreat/repositon

[mild sun]

a lot of it is, yeah

[primal valve]

Also entering into the shield stance deals high knockback, stun and decent damage

[mild sun]

yeah, its like aoe attack.. but as he said, dont overly rely on it, just use it when you got a decent mob coming at you, its not practical using it when its only a few weak enemies, etc

[cursive notch]

any advice for unlocking origin?

[zenith garden]

We’ve got the tiers on the testing doc

[primal valve]

First green 1 clover then prophet, then hopoo and few more clovers

[cursive notch]

on first stage? or as i go through stages?

[primal valve]

Most consistant is doing it first stage since you know what you are facing.

Recommend rolling lemurians as first enemy

[tender gazelle]

just to make sure im not doing something wrong

[cursive notch]

any survivor reccomendations?

[tender gazelle]

if you get overloading lemurians horde of many theres no way to survive right

[primal valve]

also remember you can swap the Damage taken/done values for easier time

[primal valve]

depends on survivor and layout

[cursive notch]

cuz i have been switching around and have had luck with some

[primal valve]

Pilot ad bandit are 2 that I can recommend well

Oh also topaz brooch as one of first whites

[tender gazelle]

bandit for the default utility?

idk what you really do the when the 2 minutes you dont have it hit

[primal valve]

Bandit default utility trivalises providence (With enough barbed wires), for most part you can usually stall out the minute to get utility back if you really want to.

Starting to upload the run.

[cursive notch]

i did it too with lots of grinding

[primal valve]

Did a monsoon 100/100 intensity Origin unlock run on bandit video of below decided not to hit mountain shrines since they are RNG and hitting them makes clover really good
https://youtu.be/kAeM4OIC7OA

[primal valve]

Nice

[tender gazelle]

can barbed wire crit

or proc

[primal valve]

no

[tender gazelle]

good to know

[tender gazelle]

game really doesn't wanna give me a clover huh

it was worth waiting for

[tender gazelle]

yeah i guess as usual the only thing i needed to be able to do this is just watch patemaani do it lol

[strong idol]

i just stayed on stage 1 for an hour and stacked like 100 barbed wire

then marched to providence

[tender gazelle]

lol

that sounds fun

[old snow]

arghhh i still can't figure out how to deal with flyers as enforcer

[elder patrol]

Jump and shoot

[old snow]

i jump and then shoot and then i get hit by midair swifts

[elder patrol]

With swift, you bait them down then shoot

With bees jump and shoot

For both, well do your best to think which one gonna mess you badly and focus on killing that first

[lime abyss]

are you using disperse? imo it's better than the other one in most ways just because of its flexibility

can cancel fall damage, shred some enemy types, generally alright vs crowds and ofc can shoot upwards

[elder patrol]

When you think about it, Disperse has more damage potential compared to Stun Grenade lol

[blissful bluff]

these greater wisps keep killing me, what do i do to combat them?

[fierce arch]

jump when they attack

[blissful bluff]

oh

well i guess i feel stupid lol

[tender gazelle]

if you can, use a ledge and shoot them from it

they have a big enough hurtbox for that and they can't hit you from there

[sand island]

I haven't played for a few weeks, and I gotta ask, has there been a switch patch yet

[blissful bluff]

||YO i got a strange battery from and urn(??) and i can't tell what activating it does||

[alpine rune]

check pins in #theorycrafting

[woeful aurora]

what's the name of the music that plays when u do the tp on temple of elders?

[blissful bluff]

oh cool so i must just have the perfect setup for it lol

yo i got a ||keycard||

||YO I STORED THE BATTERY||

||LETS GOO||

[blissful bluff]

||If I die on stage 4 before I can activate robomando, do I have to do it all over again||?

||Like do i have to put the battery in the box again||?

pls

[timid badger]

yea

[blissful bluff]

DAMNIT

that took me all day

(not really but it was a while)

[kindred arch]

how do i get in here?

[wanton moon]

this pretty sure

[hot otter]

hmmm i ponder if engineers deployed mines have any time limit

[strong idol]

the above level, go to the top of the crates, you can go down in the middle

[timid badger]

That’s how you leave it

[wanton moon]

ohhh I see

my mistake

[strong idol]

if you have enough mobility you can enter there

[primal valve]

Bit late but here is the no mobility option https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1173325091145269378/1188627441539878983/SPOILER_image.png?ex=659b3691&is=6588c191&hm=eb28163cee3f259c2021f575bd7a00ae11a25a3baf1fb867c71c5de510986db0&

[ruby sun]

What items are worth stacking late into a Command run? Most of the common items I can think of have a point where getting more than a certain amount doesn't really do anything, and some items aren't that great even when you do get a lot of them.

[mellow berry]

Hey
are there Items that are locked behind providence trails only?

[primal valve]

Yes
Whites||
Arcane Blades
Voltaic Mitt||
Greens||
Decaying Sample
Hunter's Harpoon
Insecticide||
Reds||
Substandard Duplicator
Hyper-Threader
Umbrella
Classified Access Codes||

[mellow berry]

thx
jeez
this gonna be kinda annoying because well- I am not that good at quick parkour as example (hope there are trails around to get to these)

[primal valve]

Most of them are simple enough to clear

[mellow berry]

yeah, If you mean the ones directly for the items
but getting to'em gonna be kinda hard

[primal valve]

Lemme check since personally spent most of the time in trials and enjoyed most of them

Umbrella trial has relatively simple clear and reaching it IIRC was pretty simple

The bandit "sneaking" Trial routes directly to 2 of the reds Duplicator and umbrella the 2 I'd argue best items from trials

The USB stick is itself rather annoying trial and is in bottom right corner with some of the more annoying trials around it.

Voltaic mitt trial opens route to Children trial which opens to Decaying sample trial so that isn't too annoying to route to

Actually I'll open paint and make "all items" route that I think is simplest to go thru

[primal valve]

Think this is least amount of trials to get all items from them yellow= medium dificulty, Green easy Purple for item trials

Oh forgot to mark 2 trials sec

Characters needed are Commando, Huntress, HAN-D, Miner, Pilot, Acrid, Sniper, Engineer, Drifter and Bandit

[mellow berry]

I see

gonna be a bit of pain

how do the temporary items work?

are they for full stage or do they have a timer on them that can end on a stage you are still on?

[grizzled hound]

Temp items seem to be on a timer, there's an icon next to the stack I think.

Oh yeah and I had a question of my own.

What types of items are a priority for Acrid, and how should he usually play? (I suppose for reference I've only recently beaten the game on Drizzle with him, and I play Base, Alt, Base, Base.)

[mellow berry]

damn

[small frost]

does scrapping drone repair kit's drones still count towards drifter unlock?

It does!

[hollow kraken]

I personally like playing him similarly to ror2. Just set it and forget it. I've found using his melee is basically suicide in most cases.

[young trellis]

they're on a timer and it carries between stages, one important thing to note is that multiple stacks of a temp item only decay one at a time.

So if you get 3 temp items simultaneously when the timer runs out you'll be left with 2 of that item and the timer resets.

[primal valve]

Temporary items are roughly on 1 minute timer per stack of item, duration increased by 10 seconds for each Substandard Duplicator item you have.

[mellow berry]

k
just trying to get through that 100 items challange with drifter

[wanton moon]

i thought dupe was +30 seconds?

oh, apparently it doesnt i gaslit myself

[primal valve]

Video strategy for the trial video is for gold but since clear is only half the gold score same strategy can be used
https://youtu.be/kzDV_phqMyQ

[mellow berry]

challanges are cool alternative for getting some skills but mandatory for item is kinda... infuriating

(not bashing the decision, just think the items should have had similar option as skills- aka have 2 ways of unlocking

[primal valve]

Devs have said that they are looking to add alternative ways to unlock them

[mellow berry]

good to hear

[primal valve]

Tho no ETA so far

[mellow berry]

mhm

welp, ROR is not a game I gonna be throwing away soon, and so far I did find classes I do love playing (aka Pilot) so there's a bunch of things to unlock and do

plus- I just got the game

[quick edge]

I have enjoyed this game thoroughly

[minor magnet]

haven't really been keeping up with the game lately, any word on when workshop mods will be avalible?

[elder patrol]

No specific date yet

[timid badger]

nothing specific, but we know it'll be a while (before launch sarn once said multiple months after release i think)

[minor magnet]

thx

[little echo]

Any news on a console release?

[primal valve]

It is released on switch, no promises for other consoles

[little echo]

So no :[

[mild sun]

whats needed to run RoRR on a laptop? Idk nothing about computers tbf

[timid badger]

Very little

[old snow]

how long does a run have to be to hit level 20

[primal valve]

Varies but going relatively fast 2 full loops I'd say is rough estimate

[tender gazelle]

does artifact of sacrifice generally spawn less drones

[worn sky]

ngl felt like it when I tried to unlock gilded drone lol

[arctic umbra]

whats the exclamation mark above drones mean

[woeful aurora]

low hp

[elder patrol]

Low HP and about to die

[urban wharf]

Does RoRR run on the Steamdeck?

[fleet flower]

yes

rorr can run on a potato

[charred forum]

ofc why wouldn't it

[austere leaf]

does this support ultrawide? wanting to buy but dont want blackbars or stretched nonsense

[charred forum]

yup it works just fine

[steel mulch]

On certain characters I can't walk backwards and shoot anymore? Every time I try and walk backwards it switches the direction I aim. Playing on classic controls and have mouse aim disabled. Is there any way to fix this without using the aim left and right inputs?

[fleet flower]

that was a thing before I think

[timid badger]

Without mouse aim, you have to shoot and then move backwards for that to work, and it doesn’t work on some characters anyway (robomando)

[steel mulch]

Thank you! Could've sworn it worked on robomando, but guess I misremembered

[timid badger]

It’s because he just stops firing during his primary skill for some reason

[steel mulch]

Interesting. I recently started playing again, stopped before 1.0.4, and don't remember him playing like that. I find it kinda hard to press the right input for aiming when things get more chaotic lol

[mellow berry]

hey hey people
Do I need to play the specific survivor to unlock their challange based alt ability?
aka do I need to keep a buncha critter with sawmerang while playing as Han-d or can I kill em as another survivor?

[shell frigate]

yes you have to play as the specific char, han-d in your example

[split reef]

I don't have rorr but I'd like to ask

how is the multiplayer

can you do split-screen?

I've played ror but not ror2 and I could never get multiplayer to work

[viral siren]

It’s not split screen, you share a screen in RoRR if you’re doing couch co-op. Sorry to hear mp for RoR2 didn’t work for you though.

[sterile bridge]

Heya, random simple question. Is there any way to hid the UI in RoRR? Specifically the health bars that hover over enemies, I'm tryna get some clean screenshots of enemies in the game

[timid badger]

i mean
just don't hit them

[viral siren]

I was looking for UI transparency or turning it off too and did not find it, so I don’t think there is a setting for it unfortunately

[sterile bridge]

Bosses always have their health bar sadly

S'pose there's no sign of Returns modding on the horizon?

[timid badger]

It's gonna be a while

[split reef]

oh no risk of rain 2 didn't work for me at all

I use a mac

[viral siren]

Oh oof. Can’t help ya there.

No idea how macs do with the game

[split reef]

it's not available

I think they just don't bother

it's why I played risk of rain one in the first place but

[viral siren]

There’s already modding happening, though dunno if that’s within the realm of it yet

[split reef]

I mean I guess it's probably pretty hard to port a game to a different operating system

[raven egret]

does anyone know how hyper-threader works with acrid? Does it work on his default utility and special? Slightly time-sensitive question.

[primal valve]

Procs on Special inital hit and spreading, Default utility doesn't Proc it

[raven egret]

thanks!

[mild sun]

what os are you thinking? both mac and linux have a way to run the game at the moment unless im mistaken

proton (linux)
crossover (mac)

[blissful bluff]

if I wanted to use bullet punch on loader, what stats would I want most?

would I go for what a sniper would? like crits?

[mild sun]

crowbar and crits are good

[blissful bluff]

alr

[tender gazelle]

they were talking about ror2

which i guess multiplayer doesnt work on

[blissful bluff]

why is it that everything i hear about ror2 is bugs

[tender gazelle]

the game definitely has some jank to it

i dont think it's very buggy tho

[viral siren]

It’s really not that buggy

[sacred merlin]

I never experienced any bugs lol

[split reef]

what's crossover?

[brazen flame]

Backflip challenge is the last thing I have to do, and realised I've been going about it completely wrong lol, been exclusively building on hit stuff to make sure I choose when he dies

But that means I can't get him to die during the animation ;-;

Lost doll seems like the best bet

Is lost doll affected by regular damage modifiers?

[primal valve]

Only max HP IIRC

[brazen flame]

I mean the damage output to enemy

[primal valve]

Haven't tested too much but seemed to be just max HP x 4

[brazen flame]

Ahhh I get you

[primal valve]

Tested artifact of glass, doesn't get glass damage bonus and cannot crit even with Sniper drone

[brazen flame]

Cool

[primal valve]

Link to my earlier message on the same challenge
#game-questions-returns message

[brazen flame]

💚

[tender gazelle]

can cremator blazing dash be dodged by just jumping at the right time or is there more to it

also if its overloading

[ruby sun]

is there an alternate way to "win" besides killing providence

[humble lichen]

Nope

[rustic vigil]

hi! for alt challenges like that huntress one that says "collect 300 items" that doesnt have to be a single run right? 0-0

[humble lichen]

Nope

[frigid quail]

noo, its just a total

[rustic vigil]

perfect thank you!

[frigid quail]

i mean crashing the game is the true ending but i don't think that's what your thinking

[wild osprey]

where can i find screenshots of players builds and loot after their games??

😵‍💫🫨

[frigid quail]

you asking where you find what items you had at the end of a run?

if so it is found under "stats and highscores / run history"

[rustic vigil]

what skills are best for bandit?

[idle quarry]

bandit is pretty balanced I think

probably ranged m1, flashbang, standoff

[frigid quail]

this game doesn't really have "better" skills, just what you prefer to use. some skills are harder to use but give more reward, others easier to use but don't do as much

[rustic vigil]

i dont think thats completly true, for example salvage is better in every possible way than recycle

[strong idol]

merc parry

why would you go back to whirlwind

[frigid quail]

i mean i use recycle bc i get to not have junk items in my inventory like voltaic mitt.

[brave prawn]

Are there plans for dlc? I need more of this game

[mild sun]

can someone tell me what this means

[frigid quail]

my guess is that if the client (not the host) sees themselves dodge an attack but host side they got hit, the client would dodge it bc it was a lag error and on their end it looked like they dodged

[mild sun]

ohh

so sometimes the host might see someone get hit without taking damage

[frigid quail]

ya

[mild sun]

or vice versa

I see

if there's no other workaround I consider that a win

[frigid quail]

i mean it helps in laggy connections

[mild sun]

man I can't wait for modding to hit risk of rain returns, it's gonna be great

[ruby sun]

does anyone know where i can find drop rates for 56 leaf clover and the artifact of sacrifice

[frigid quail]

its 4% as for sacrifice the wiki doesn't have that yet so idk
https://riskofrainreturns.wiki.gg/wiki/56_Leaf_Clover

[ruby sun]

for clover i meant rarity drop rates i know it's 4% + 1.5% per stack to get a drop but not what the rarity of those drops will be

[elder patrol]

I assume it uses the base chance of a small chest

Bc very rarely I got a red from a clover drop

[blissful bluff]

why is ||artificer's skin|| so unnessecarily difficult?

[slender creek]

i would use artifact of command and merc

get a couple of hopoos and use his whirlwind and you should be good

miner also works for it

i did it with miner and no movement items it was just difficult

[blissful bluff]

ah

[slender creek]

you can build up some heat to drill dash across the gap

[primal valve]

I used pilot without mobility but personally think Loader would be easiest

[blissful bluff]

that's what ive been using but like

the gaps keep getting me

[normal mulch]

Aye
Miner is who I did it with

One of the jumps near the end was brutal without mobility items

[slender creek]

That horizontal stretch at the end is what you need to prepare for

[blissful bluff]

i think loader can grapple across it

[primal valve]

Video of me grabbing it with loader no mobility grappling up is needed for few bits

[blissful bluff]

but the smaller gaps i can't seem to get over

[primal valve]

Initally tought using command to grab feathers but wasn't needed

[blissful bluff]

ah

i was using a bad route too

[blissful bluff]

This was incredibly helpful thankyou

[lime abyss]

when i initially tried to get that one i was going to the literal top of the map and trying to fall in on the side

[blissful bluff]

is there an item that gives short range characters more range?

[cerulean python]

heaven cracker i guess

[blissful bluff]

I thought it only applied the pierce to the normal attack range?

[primal valve]

It is only one that directly modifies range
https://riskofrainreturns.wiki.gg/wiki/Heaven_Cracker

Usually you can get to point on run* that your items do all of the damage

*if looping

[blissful bluff]

yeah but that's pretty cool i didn't know that

and yeah usually

[blissful bluff]

can loader's knuckleboom hit through walls? ie ||Artifact of sacrifice buttons||

[primal valve]

No but his default special can

And how its hit box is essentially big rectangle with pylons being opposite corners of it

[blissful bluff]

Yeah

Didn't realize that damage counts

Alr thank you

ive recently found out both conduits actually do damage in a rectangle

with the green conduit, you, drones, and teammates are the 'other pylon'

[blissful bluff]

how did you get the other skin for loader?

the one you have on

[zenith garden]

thats one of the rewards for the final providence trial

[primal valve]

Completing Final trial (unlocked by clearing all other trials) on loader, every non-secret survivor has one aswell.

[blissful bluff]

ah cool

[teal ruin]

What does the white shirt do? I saw online that it increases armpit by 3 but what does that mean?

[tender gazelle]

armpit?

it increases armor by 3 lol

the way damage you take is calculated is basically 100/100 + (the amount of armor you have)

so for example if you have 100 armor, you take half the damage you would normally take

there are many sources of armor in this game, like leveling up and some items such as tough times

the white undershirt doesn't really do much because 3 armor is a pretty small deal, its kind of a meme item

[elder patrol]

Hey it's rare lol

[teal ruin]

Oooooh okay thank you

[pure zealot]

I have a question about Hopoo's copyright system

||Would it be ok if I were to use an image from the game as a background for vseeface?||

[arctic umbra]

why tf did i just get 2 legendary sparks from a drone recycler?????

[mellow berry]

I am reaching +100 minutes of the run and the dropped items are becooming temporary items.... is it normal?
I don't have any relic equipped

[arctic umbra]

do you have a duplicator?

[mellow berry]

playing drifter with the equivalent exchange alt ult btw

[mellow berry]

noticed that I picked up one

[arctic umbra]

yeah thats why

[mellow berry]

(must have gotten lost in the torrent of fkton of items I have)

look at this

also- quick question how do you get to the ||BOAR BEACH|| ?
Is this the place?

[strong idol]

stand in the bushes

[mellow berry]

it isn't letting me

(idk if it's becausse I done the teleported event now or not)

[strong idol]

you phisically can't stand in that spot?

[mellow berry]

done
It procced
(the descriptions everywere said to press up when standing near these)

[strong idol]

i always press up

forgot to say

[mellow berry]

the other thing

I did not get the unlock for beating the teleporter boss there

..... mind that I am like,,, 100+ minutes in the run

[lean ether]

Is there any way to transfer saves from RoR1 or otherwise modify RoRR saves to match RoR1 progress? I really don't feel like spending hours trying to get to where I was at...

[mellow berry]

I don't think it's possible... ain't Ror and Ror:R on different engines?

[lean ether]

They are, but a look at the save files still suggests similarities in method, though an edit on the RoRR localsave did not seem to alter anything.

I've seen so many guides that simply don't work. I'm a singleplayer type, so to me, there's no point in redoing everything. Even a proper explanation of how to modify my save would be killer

If that's allowed here.

Even manually recreating my progress in the save file is preferential to losing everything and starting over.

[lean ether]

I figured it out

[hearty heart]

What are the best healing items in everyone's opinion? Trying to do a meme run with command but not sure what heals would be the best to stack.

[elder patrol]

Sprouting Egg for passive healing

Leeching Seed, Scythe with crit for active healing

[zenith garden]

War banner stacking is pretty good as well

[timid badger]

bungus is actually kinda cracked if you have a ton of movement and infusion

[rustic vigil]

can i unlock ||robomando while using the artifact of command?||

[cursive notch]

yeah, that's how i did so

[rustic vigil]

perfect thanks

[mild sun]

Any updates on mod support?

[elder patrol]

Nope

[rustic vigil]

real quick, what survivor did u use and what items did u mainly picked up, im about to do it but not sure on the strat

[blazing crescent]

Very mad that i somehow sisnt get diablo rod here.

Idk if i shouldnt have shot him and just waited for beacon but i was scared of how quickly i could kill him cause of his phase 4

WAIT I WAS SUPPOSE TO USE A BEACON NOT THE AERIAL ATTACK BEACON SOB

IK I SHOULDNT HAVE USED MY BEACONS IN THE START OF COMMENCEMENT

whateverr

Wait

Wrong chat

[cursive notch]

i used pilot cuz funny dash

and just missles

[blissful bluff]

is there an achievement for winning with no items

[elder patrol]

Well there is a Sniper unlock for getting to 3rd tp without items

[arctic umbra]

And you get the worst primary in the game

Funny AF tho

[frigid quail]

Its not that bad.. Its nice bc you can turn around with it and hold steady aim for longer

[arctic umbra]

It takes away your range

[primal valve]

It is really solid option https://youtu.be/F-UZWLV_PXg

Essentially little shorter drifter melee

[cursive notch]

i love the alt primary for sniper, cuz of the knockback

i also do use alt secondary too

[arctic umbra]

I really enjoy it it's just the fact it can take away your perfect reloads

[primal valve]

Note that perfect reloads only affect base damage of the shot, items ignore perfect reload bonus so once you get going it actually isn't as big of a deal to "miss" perfect reload

[leaden pewter]

How does it take away your perfect reloads? Wouldn't it just be a problem that you're missing your reload?

[shell frigate]

improvise isnt a shot, so you dont get to reload, so if youre going 2111 on sniper the only way to reload is using your secondary first

[primal valve]

essentially can't "reroll" reload without committing cooldown

[low bane]

what are the odds for shrine of chance shrine/rock shrine? and do the odds of it working decrease if you spam the interaction with it for items? like if i interact, and go do something then come back, would my chances be higher than if i just stayed in place and kept interacting it?

[primal valve]

flat 50%

[low bane]

bless

ty

[patent cypress]

hi guys what're some items that you rly like for the mercenary!!

[cerulean tapir]

Is there a way to pause the game in multiplayer? Or just pause the timer by being in a specific location?

[sullen linden]

Pretty sure there isn't, no

[cerulean tapir]

Aww, alright. Thanks. My boyfriend gets overwhelmed when playing too long and needs breaks, but I guess there just isn't really a way to handle that other than trying to teach him the game bit by bit so he'll be less overwhelmed.

[jolly pivot]

anything that helps with dodging (hermit's scarf, the cape, repultion armor)

or just movement speed

[nova isle]

Why does the music keep distorting with a weird static crackle thing in risk of rain returns, it’s annoying and kinda creepy.

[nova isle]

When I say crackle, I mean like the music starts being purposely offtune, as though it’s a simulation or something and it’s failing for a moment.

By static I mean in the sense it seems to distort in roughly the same way each time.

[nova isle]

57 seconds or so into the “chanson” song it seems

However that is the soundtrack version, and if I recall the game has dynamic music, so does something trigger such?

Such especially seems to occur near portals, so I wonder does that cause it?

[jovial field]

I... can't say I've experienced this. That sounds to me like your audio drivers are having a bad time

[nova isle]

The thing is to pinpoint the exact moment of this sound occurring, I used my phone and its own speakers to find such, which isn’t connected to my pc in any capacity.

0:57 into the chanson song is where such occurs, both in the og and remake.

https://music.apple.com/us/album/chanson-dautomne-2023-remaster/1713783484

https://music.apple.com/us/album/chanson-dautomne/757699188

[jovial field]

well that's just how the song was composed

the music is not dynamic, it either just plays stage or boss music on loop until it needs to change. that distortion is just part of the song itself and should play at the same time every time

[timid badger]

yeah that's intentional

[paper topaz]

does anyone know if it's better for one person to stack 56 leaf clovers or for them to be evenly distributed? does it give everyone the 4.5% chance or just the person killing the elites

[jovial field]

i think(?) 56 leaf just stacks across the team

[elder patrol]

Nope

Only applies to the holder of the clover

[keen halo]

So does attack speed do anything for artificer, or should I just avoid at all costs?

[warm apex]

decreases the amount of time the chakrams stay out (effectively results in more fire rate) and i believe increases the tick rate of the main chakram damage

as well as making bomb come out faster and flamethrower take less time to complete

forgive me if i am incorrect in any way but it seems pretty good

[keen halo]

So, very useful, but just not clear how at first glance, got it!

[shell frigate]

also decreases cast time of ice wall

[atomic hornet]

are the cremator projectiles supposed to have lightning when the cremator that shot them is overloading?

[shell frigate]

yes, but they have a delay generally

[mild sun]

all enemy projectiles inherit the lightning if they are overloading, so it seems intentional

[fringe stratus]

Can the secret battery equipment spawn on every variant of temple of the elders?

[low bane]

as far as i know, not every variant

i could be wrong tho

[fringe stratus]

That would explain why I just did a run and couldn’t find it

I am on drizzle too

[shell frigate]

pretty sure its on every variant, but i could be wrong too XD

i tend to find it on the lowest point of either side

if you get old stages, it tends to be outside the leftmost wall of the tower

not familiar enough with new stages

[proud peak]

I think there is one variant where it doesnt spawn on

[fringe stratus]

Just my luck

[tender gazelle]

it always spawns

[fringe stratus]

Well on the map I was on it didn’t

[tender gazelle]

you missed it

or you're not playing on drizzle/youre using artifact of sacrifice

[wooden frigate]

does the amount of bullets suppressive fire shoots still scale off attack speed in ror:r?

[frigid quail]

Yep, if it says scales with attack speed that generally means not faster animation but more hits

[primal valve]

Increases animation speed of all attacks, Chackrams return and tick faster (you get charge back when one returns) and increases ticks on Flamethrower and Sun

[primal valve]

One of the variants requires decent amount of vertical mobility to reach (Loader should be able to reach without any) since left side is walled off and roof isn't reachable without mobility.

[rustic vigil]

I just did my first run on|| the judgement trials and died at stage 6 i believe, now i get an option to take a blue or red teleport||, whats the difference?

[zenith garden]

The blue tele takes you to the water level so it’s only really used for speed running

[rustic vigil]

oh okay, they seem so difficult

[grim orbit]

Is there any picture that shows zoom differences? if so can y'all share pls thanks

[lime abyss]

i think it depends on your monitor resolution, but this is 2x vs 1x at 1440p

[zenith garden]

its very effected by screen resolution

[rancid hinge]

any info on when workshop will be on? I'm really missing mods like share suite

[tender gazelle]

no clue

[wooden frigate]

is miner's alt secondary any good

[tender gazelle]

havent used it too much but everyone tells me it's good so

[elder patrol]

I think it's good if you prefer to stay in fights more often

[primal valve]

it is omni directional dash so it is bit more versatile for mobility, also niche use would be to alt secondary to ground to proc headstompers

[torpid meteor]

Guys is there a difference in Visual graphic Settings between the PC and Nintendo switch version ?

[tender gazelle]

dont think so except maybe pc is a little more zoomed out at higher resolutions

its not a very graphically intensive game

[supple hound]

hello if i die with the equipment for rob after i get it in stage 2 do i have to start the process all over again?

[shell frigate]

yes

[tame rapids]

Any word on the 1.0.4 patch release for Switch?

[jovial field]

I don't think even the devs know. It just depends on when Nintendo certifies the update for distribution

which of course might be delayed because of holidays

[mild sun]

game pay2win, buy 8k monitor play at 1x see whole map

[grim orbit]

i really need to see rorr on an ultrawide monitor

[elder patrol]

Still can't find the tp

[sacred merlin]

how do i find Mu Construct? and which map and var?

[primal valve]

Forest 4 IIRC

[sacred merlin]

ty

[primal valve]

yeah forest 4 pic for where to go, spoilered if you want to explore yourself

[sacred merlin]

hmmm

i am looking on map on wiki, which side is it on.

oh i think i can see it, middle top?

ty, i found it

[fringe stratus]

What are the requirements for drifter again?

Wait it’s recycle 6 drones in one play through?!?

I recycled 4 and I thought that was enough

[elder patrol]

Rip

[devout stag]

anyone knows how to kill worms with acrid? i always deal no damage and then get killed after 3+ mins of running

[primal valve]

Melee their bodies

[devout stag]

thx

[primal valve]

Also if you have bubble it deals decent damage aswell

[devout stag]

is it better than the basekit spit?

[primal valve]

It is preference I like bubble more personally since it can be used to do some evasive moves also mountain shrine double magma worm on monsoon stage 1 wihtout items clip with bubble

[devout stag]

nice

[primal valve]

Essentially, magma worms only deal damage with their fire trails and when their head is going thru ground, and only ~0.7 blocks high from the ground, so most ropes and jumping avoids most of the damage.

Aslo any attacks with somewhat lingering or big hit boxes that can hit multiple segments of worms lets you multiply your damage per segment hit.

Some lucky items and Overloading magma worm on stage 2 ain't too bad

[narrow cave]

How does the achievement where you have to kill Providence while backflipping as sniper work

Like backflip while the scope is aiming then fire it it and have the boss die?

[frigid quail]

providence has to die while your doing the backflip animation, as such you will need an outside source of dmg to get the achievement like drones or equipment or if you do multi-player that will work too.
you can attempt this on all three phases not just the final one so if you fail it the first time keep going.

[narrow cave]

Good to know, thanks

[spare thorn]

does anyone know the criteria for the beam drone to spawn in the last stage?

iirc i'm pretty sure there is a beam drone that spawns in the risk of rain/last stage but i don't know how to get it to spawn for certain

do i need to loop a certain amount of times or is it just luck?

[frigid quail]

i do believe its luck (someone can corect me on that), but yes it can spawn there

[spare thorn]

it's just that i'm trying to unlock that one achievement with engi but i can't find ANY laser drones out there to combine later

[frigid quail]

i usually find them on the snow map and the lava map, i rarely find them on the water map but i think they spawn there too.

[spare thorn]

i looped in like 2 runs and not a single one spawned

it's joever for me

[frigid quail]

i never find them on loops i will say that, idk why. people have said that they can spawn on loops but they never do for me so i wouldn't recommend looping

[spare thorn]

oh ok thanks lol

will try that next time

[frigid quail]

hope it helps

[cerulean python]

took me 2 hours looping

[primal valve]

It is mostly luck, they can start appearing after looping for while (Personally seen total of 2 completed laser drones outside of final stage while looping ~4 loops in on all of my runs) or initally on Final level, you really can't increase their spawn chance unfortunately. main strategies are either to loop until you find laser drones to combine or spam speedrun final stage to luck out on natural spawn.

Personally recommend Command Tempus cognation Razor wire stacking with few clovers and some mobility for looping for long time

[somber wedge]

How to chat ?

In coop

[frigid quail]

if your on pc its ENTER if your on something else I'm not sure. (it also seems pretty hard to chat and fight on something other then pc but idk)

[somber wedge]

Thanks

[proud peak]

Not possible on switch

[proud peak]

For arms race are the on hit procs on hits from the drones or on hits from the player?

[elder patrol]

[elder patrol]

Anyone got a gif of Drifter Tornado Slam (Speen) attack?

[rustic vigil]

Hi im hella confused, ||I'm at the button you have to hit to unlock the artifact of distortion||, i keep shooting at it with huntress and it wont do anything, any help?

[short hazel]

You mean the sphere/orb?

[rustic vigil]

its like a cube yeah, the one you gotta jump to

[short hazel]

Did u grab the ancient key?

[rustic vigil]

what ancient key?

[short hazel]

Oh shit this is NOT ror2 game questions

Lol my bad

[rustic vigil]

lol u good

[narrow cave]

Which stage is that

[rustic vigil]

damp cavern

[narrow cave]

I ran into the same problem. Huntress’s kit has nothing able to hit the button

[rustic vigil]

ahhh jaja dammit, well imma try it with loader like in the video

[narrow cave]

Yea that would work probably. I did it with pilot. His secondary can hit all artifact buttons in the stages

[rustic vigil]

perfect, ty!

[narrow cave]

Np

[elder patrol]

I know but I kinda needed a transparent background one

[zenith garden]

Ah

[cursive thorn]

I can probably make one, lemme get out of bed

[cursive thorn]

@elder patrol

[elder patrol]

Perfect, thanks much

[frigid quail]

I have never noticed that finnish, it looks so good

[quick edge]

Yeah that’s clean

[supple hound]

What are the best items to get on all characters

Is there a tier list or guide somewher

[modest glacier]

hey, is there a mod or an option that prevents a specific item from dropping in runs?

[primal valve]

Other than save editing to not having unlocked items, no
Alternative is Artifact of Command but I get why some would not want to use it.

[modest glacier]

thank you, I assume I can't disable the unlocked-by-default items by editing the save file right?

[primal valve]

yeah

[tender gazelle]

whats the reason anyways

[primal valve]

Personally I'd see it as "I don't ever want these items but I cba to deal with command menu"

[hearty heart]

At the end of a run the small custscene with the ||light that flickers and turns on at the end of the hallway.|| Does it mean anything or am I overanalyzing it?

[primal valve]

It is to emphasise your actions somewhat ||(murderhoboin everything on the planet)||

[narrow cave]

for the secondary main for sniper, do i not collect items on just the third stage, or all the stages until the 3rd.

[primal valve]

All stages until completed 3

[narrow cave]

ok thanks

[vernal mango]

Is there something I can change in the files that stops the mouse icon from disappearing if I don't move the mouse around after a bit ingame for some reason I just noticed that happens and it's driven me crazy

[grizzled meteor]

is rorr easier than ror1?

[cursive thorn]

If it's the cutscene I'm thinking of, it also ||serves to highlight the fact that there was a teleporter already on the ship, get you thinking about why it's there||

[narrow cave]

i would say so

[grim orbit]

it probably is easier if you're only trying to reach provi and speedrun him asap but rorr has more mechanics and that so its probs more complex if you're trying to do anything else

[somber wedge]

Does the debuff from an Acrid's alternative LMB stack linearly or geometrically?

[lethal hornet]

red whip

[cursive basin]

quick question, for the challenge Level 10 as Miner without getting hit more than once, does fall damage count? e.g if I took fall damage twice but not from any creatures

[zenith garden]

fall damage counts towards failing it

[cursive basin]

Yeah okay, thank you

[fringe quail]

any ideas when the next patch will be?

[jovial field]

nope

when it's ready™️

[blazing lava]

Which game has more characters ror 1 or 2

[mild sun]

Is commandos knife, shotgun, more worth than the default?

[frigid quail]

No dlc charectors select: 1
No dlc all charectors: 2
With dlc: 2
Beats them all is returns

[somber wedge]

Why don't I have a room with a loader's prism?

[tender gazelle]

it only spawns on 1 variant

[sacred merlin]

how do i unlock with CHEF: Have 20 cleavers out at once?

i already got x24 attack speed. what am i doing wrong?

[sacred merlin]

nvm got it. shatter mirror works.

[ivory tide]

Does the unlock of interstellar desk plant require to sear the crabs all at once?

[tender gazelle]

no

[cursive basin]

Does anyone know if theres a bug or if I did something wrong? I just hit a health shrine which took 99% of my health away but yet I still did not unlock the Harvester's scythe?

[elder patrol]

You might have some extra barrier which negated some HP loss

[ivory tide]

Does boar beach teleporter event count towards huntress alt primary unlock?

[elder patrol]

No

[autumn raven]

guys whats the best drone for hand, im trying to play him but when i go heal he feels slow, and when i go speed im pretty sure ill die quickly, and i dont got the other drone

which one do i pick

[civic nimbus]

if you take saw id say speed, if you take hammer id say healing

both are really good but have very different use cases

[primal valve]

All 3 secondaries have their uses speed drone synergizes really well with alt special heal is heal and blast are burst damage and movement tech

[timid nacelle]

Are there any terrain features that consistently allow pilot to noclip with aerobatics?

Or in other words, how do I get out?

nvm I did it

[runic fox]

It's a thing with high speeds, I guess Pilot's just more susceptible to it when they use the dash than most.

[zenith garden]

Corners are usually the easiest places to get in/out of due to being a smaller amount of pixels to cross

[grizzled meteor]

are they going to patch the high speed clipping? (i hope not)

[frigid quail]

It causes a lot of soft locks because players only get in through luck but then bc of the small space they are unable to to get back out so its possible they will

[grizzled meteor]

the speed force is a force to be reckoned with

[faint python]

is proc coef a thing in this game?

[proud peak]

No

[faint python]

understandable

[tender gazelle]

proc chaining isnt either

[mild sun]

Is running all of commandos alts worth it

I feel as if I die too easily because I'm getting too close

[jovial field]

i usually run 1212 because the lack of iframes on the slide isn't that great when knife/shotgun forces you to play in close range

and shooting during the slide isn't useful when you don't have a lot of range

[tender gazelle]

nah sliding through enemies and knifing them is very useful

you get in and get out very easily

i do prefer roll especially with how slide works really weirdly in the current patch (fixed next patch i think?) but slide is also valid

[ruby sun]

which providence trials are considered the easiest to gold?

[frigid quail]

(idk if i was rng carried or it was easy but i got "get off my lawn" gold on the first try) (enginer)

[frigid quail]

A colossal feat (commando)
Gup sorting (miner)
Specimen sampling (Enforcer)
Highway robbery (Bandit)
Break the targets (Miner)
Inner demons (Enforcer)
Think of the children (HAN-D)
Colossal lift (Loader)

[ruby sun]

i love you ty

[zenith garden]

#providence-trials message heres the generally recommended ones

[stark cipher]

So how does loader's grapple works? Sometimes it grapple up a platform and sometimes it doesn't when I want to get up a platform using the grapple

Really confused rn

[tender gazelle]

not sure what you mean with grapple up a platform

[stark cipher]

Like sometimes it grapple diagonally upwards to grab on a higher platform while sometimes It just grapple forward

[frigid quail]

If you hold diagonaly upwards (or just holding up) you will grapple up. if you dont you will grapple in the way your moving

[stark cipher]

Oh.... Thanks

[tender gazelle]

yeah

[sacred merlin]

how do i unlock this thanks

[boreal ermine]

just play acrid alot and use its stock util alot

[sacred merlin]

gotcha

[sullen summit]

Is there something hidden in the storage area on the ues ship? Every other area has had something you can teleport to the bridge

[boreal ermine]

there's an unlock

its very similar to the HAN-D unlock

[primal valve]

Well apart from being loot room ||there is one chest in background that can be opened for toxin||

[marsh cosmos]

how do you change the game's language

my friend has been doomed to play in turkish

[marsh cosmos]

ah thank you

[arctic umbra]

blessed

[foggy gulch]

will there be content updates/DLC?

[supple hound]

Hello what's is the best way to get max crit in rorr

[faint python]

pray

[supple hound]

I use command

[primal valve]

If you mean enough glasses that once you have other crit synergy items you won't overcap, 12 Lens Makers Glasses, 1+ Harvester's Scythe, 1+ Predatory instincts, 1 Wicked Ring leaves you 3% over cap. swapping 1 Lens makers to 2 Razor Pennies makes you overcap only by 2%

[supple hound]

Cool

[primal valve]

Wicked Ring is 5% crit (+10% crit per stack), Schythe is 5% crit (+0% crit per stack), Predatory is 5% crit (+0% crit per stack), Glasses are 10% crit (+7% per stack), Razor Pennies are 3% crit (+3% Crit per stack)

[supple hound]

I have to unlock pennies

[primal valve]

Pennies aren't really impactful (3+3% per stack crit and 1+1 per stack gold on crit)

[bleak willow]

Hi! I tried figuring this out on my own to no avail... Can you unlock the miner on any magma barrack level? Or does it have to be one of the specific variants?

[frigid quail]

Only on variant 1 and 2. so removing new stage variants will help you're chances of getting the right one

[bleak willow]

Ahh... Didnt even know you could remove the stage variants. Thanks!

[frigid quail]

its in the rules section before you start a run.

[bleak willow]

Ok cool I'll try it when I inevitably die on this attempt with Acrid...

[cosmic prairie]

ok

idk where to put this because there's no moddinng channel yet (becausse modding ssuport not real yeet) where iss the info for commando's bullets stored? They're not on his spritesheet, so how would I go about changing their color? I've talked about thiss with protoficer and we both do not know

lmk if this doesn't make sense lol

we found the sound file for him sshooting but I doubt that would help wwith this

[red seal]

Do the unobtainable pilot and ||the secret character|| skins have all the sprites available?

[tender gazelle]

yeah pretty sure

they have the portrait and select screen sprites there which is all thats needed since im pretty sure the character spritesheet recolors themeselves are done through code or smth

because there arent seperate sheets for the skins

[red seal]

Thats nice, thank you!

[boreal ermine]

you mean the line tracer? that is probably hardcoded

or theyre some 1 pixel sprite

probably the former though if i had to guess

[cosmic prairie]

yeah, thaat's what I mean. There's a sprite for tracer2 which is full metal jacket, but, not for the bullets. but, would this mean that even with full modding support, this would be something unchangeable?

[boreal ermine]

who knows? depends on how well the modding api enables modifying existing content

[zenith garden]

itd be similar as pilot and bandits bullets

[cosmic prairie]

word, thank you for the help! I've been stuck on this for aa while, but I guesss that all I can do is drop it

[cosmic prairie]

what do you mean? becaause theey're hitscan?

[zenith garden]

the sprite sheet only has the start of the shots as well

and a tracer for pilots shot (might be bandits i cant remember)

[cosmic prairie]

yeah, that'ss what I was haviing troublee with. I haven't looked into bandit pilot much but yeah it's the same for ccommando

[zenith garden]

ye i was wondering if thosee two had the same issue and it seems like it

[cosmic prairie]

thats such a bummer, oh weeell. aat leasst I caan edit other characters projectiles lol

[red seal]

Might there be like a single pixel in the spritesheet that determines the color of the bullets?

[cosmic prairie]

unfortunastely I don't think it's likely

[red seal]

😦

[cosmic prairie]

🐟

[ivory tide]

What is the best survivor to unlock artifact of origin with?

[arctic umbra]

The one your best at

[primal valve]

Whoever you feel like you are best with, bandit is really solid origin unlock. If you don't care about changing game rules setting Damage done to 200% and damage taken to 10% makes it relatively easier.
Essentially, farm for 1 green item and grab clover before stage 1 TP boss, if you have them use artifact of prestige, Tempus and Cognation to vastly increase item stacks you get and amount of enemies to kill. You can also enable Artifact of Dissonance tho it doesn't overall increase your rate of good stage 1 enemies (with dissonance, Children, Claymen and Lemurians are "best" stage 1 enemies just due to how many spawn all golem variants are passable aswell) below is bandit run with only origin artifacts on monsoon and then commando all artifacts on run.
Bandit Monsoon origin: https://youtu.be/kAeM4OIC7OA
Commando all artifacts on: https://youtu.be/Li9BLQ2FPEw

[warped blaze]

Yo how does attack speed affect arti?

[tender gazelle]

her m1 travels faster and deals damage faster, and flamethrower gets more ticks of damage

[warped blaze]

👍

[vague quiver]

does colossal knurl stack?

cuz i've got 3 rn

[fringe stratus]

EVERYTHING STACKS

[vague quiver]

noice that's good to know

the wiki doesnt have details about that one so i wasn't sure

thanks!

[split perch]

how rare are log books?

[primal valve]

2-5% chance roughly

[split perch]

ah ok

[primal valve]

Artifact of prestige helps with boss logs, dissonance can help with some stage locked enemies

[split perch]

I'm working on Providence's log rn so is there any way to make his log more common?

[primal valve]

Mainly speedrunning to provi

[split perch]

ight

[vague quiver]

do you move at the same speed walking forwards and backwards?

[frigid quail]

yes you move the same speed forwards or backwards

[vague quiver]

thanks just wanted to make sure ^^

[old snow]

does ukulele behave like in ror2 or does it just give you a chance to apply the overload effect on hit

[timid badger]

Is that not the same thing

[slender creek]

it can proc on one enemy is the difference

not too noticable

but it can also just be a regular proc item

instead of just aoe

also the move doesnt need to hit for uke to trigger

its just whenever you use an attack

so it can be a bit of a range extender too

[safe nest]

Can i grind boss logs if i dont activate the teleporter?

[mild sun]

does the ping display for lobbies work for anyone? mine just always says 0

[frigid quail]

Yes, i would recommend useing sacrifice as that will alow you to keep up with the enemy scaling if you're staying on one stage

[vague quiver]

What's the default crit chance? And are there items that raise it besides the dice?

Oh yeah and what do crits do exactly, double damage? Triple?

[zenith garden]

Glasses, penny, scythe are some. Basically anything that is effected by crits also has some bonus

[tender gazelle]

items that raise it: lens maker's, razor penny, predatory instincts and harvesters scythe (both of these only raise it on the first stack, and wicked ring

[vague quiver]

Oh glasses are crit? Damn that's not obvious at all

[tender gazelle]

yeah the double damsge means crit

[vague quiver]

Chance to deal double damage sounded like a separate thing

Gotcha thanks

[tender gazelle]

i think the default crit chance is just like 1% or smth

[vague quiver]

I don't hav the penny and predator instinct unlocked yet

[tender gazelle]

or maybe there isnt but im pretty sure ive crit with no items before

predatory instincts is a pretty good item although annoying unlock

its nohit the ancient wisp as huntress

[frigid quail]

Some of the items like that or ukulele are weird with descriptions, you may have to check the logbook to see the effects (even then i wouldn't trust the numbers)

[tender gazelle]

yeah if you wanna make sure of some of the numbers check the wiki

[zenith garden]

The wiki is much better with item descriptions. The numbers lie every now and again

[tender gazelle]

it has all the correct info

youll notice that a lot of skill descriptions have incorrect numbers

[maiden lantern]

Man, if i die while holding the battery after taking it out of the chest before being able to use it, do i really have to start all over again and do the drizzle run again?

[tender gazelle]

yea

[maiden lantern]

Damn that sucks🫃

[tender gazelle]

you only have to redo it if you open the chest

[maiden lantern]

I die surprisingly often in stage 3, so just wanted to make sure
