game-questions-returns

[tender gazelle]

its biggest benefit is that you can use your other skills (notably your primary) while it's out

which can lead to some really good damage potential

[placid talon]

yeah

[tender gazelle]

multitask hell for sure

[placid talon]

I will try to get used to it's movement

[livid garden]

line sun up in front of you while using your primary and all that jazz. it's very weird

[placid talon]

because it's always flying away while I'm trying to get away from enemy

[tender gazelle]

maybe you're pressing up/down accidentally

if you're using analog stick

[placid talon]

plus add secondary spear to exploding in the right timing

[livid garden]

yeah it's got its problems

namely that when you need to move, it's super awkward to use

[placid talon]

true

[livid garden]

and it can't track flying enemies very well either

[placid talon]

I think it could be good with regular secondary?

it has way too long stun

[livid garden]

pulse spear also has a nice stun

[placid talon]

oh really

it makes som uch damage I'm never saw a stunned enemy before

[livid garden]

i believe it should stun when you time the pulses right

[tender gazelle]

mistiming the pulse has some stun but it's negligible

[livid garden]

epic bugfix from a previous version where it only stunned if you missed

[tender gazelle]

i think

but yeah timing it make good

[livid garden]

its issue is it sucks with backup mags

[tender gazelle]

yeah sucks that was never changed

[placid talon]

lets go more multitasking

[livid garden]

so you're basically limited to one pulse spear

like i said altrificer is even more complicated for questionable reward

but it has its fun

[placid talon]

yeah

artificer is fun and hella strong

[livid garden]

oh yeah and tectonic surge

if you use it on top of an enemy it has an attacking hitbox and stuns, and it also has some i-frames

its issue is, just like ice wall, it has a super long cooldown

[placid talon]

I'm on my way to find that crit ring

by the way do I need to complete judgement with all characters under 16:20 to get golden?

[livid garden]

no, just judgement with everyone ||except robomando||

[placid talon]

oh really?

alright then I just need somehow beat it with merc

[livid garden]

merc judgement is the hardest, the only advice i have is

kill the three lemurians at the top first

stun enemies you can't stagger and hit them when they're stunned

[placid talon]

yeah I'm doing that

[placid talon]

why tho

exp?

[livid garden]

take guardian heart at the start if you're struggling early

[livid garden]

they get you to lv2, so you can stagger the volatile lemurians with primary

[placid talon]

I'm usually taking amethyst or hit list

[placid talon]

oh so it works like that

stagger chained to lvl?

[livid garden]

stagger is chained to percentage of the enemy's max HP you do per hit

[placid talon]

oh really

damn

[livid garden]

leveling up just makes you do enough damage with primary to stagger

[placid talon]

I see thx

so it would be much easier now, at least first stage

[livid garden]

start with the heart for the most forgiving stage 1, but take hitlist or ukulele if you're feeling risky

[placid talon]

there is no risk without the rain

[livid garden]

uke is sometimes a good earlygame pick for damage on characters like sniper or robomando

[placid talon]

I did sniper with hit list

he is pretty easy with any items I think tho

[livid garden]

sniper's like the third easiest judgement imo

[placid talon]

third?

[livid garden]

behind engineer and drifter

[placid talon]

I thought loader and drifter

[livid garden]

engi can use amethyst for turrets everywhere buffed up with time keepers secrets and shit

drifter is drifter and cheats judgement mechanics with her items

[placid talon]

yeah

[livid garden]

loader's imo a little bit harder cuz i keep flinging myself off stage 1 by accident slightly harder earlygame

[placid talon]

I'm did the same as commando and miner

while tried to push off enemy

[livid garden]

yeah i did that as miner a couple times

[stable fiber]

idk i wouldn't say engi is easier than sniper even though i would agree that it's super easy

[tender gazelle]

sniper is easy but not as braindead as engi

[warm hemlock]

I mean engie literally gets all of his god combos in judgement
TKS + Amethyst and even wicked ring for the cherry on top

Pretty hard to compete with him (albiet drifter is on a similar level because shes drifter)

[nocturne tartan]

if you don't finish the third stage at the correct time for the ||robomando|| unlock, do you have a second try, or are you screwed?

[boreal ermine]

you have to fetch the strange battery again and put it in the rift chest

so you do have to restart it fully pretty much

[nocturne tartan]

damn it

alright, well here's to hoping I don't mess it up

[nocturne tartan]

if you kill it instead of dying to it, is it the same story?

[boreal ermine]

yes

[nocturne tartan]

heck darn

[nocturne tartan]

oh I did it

I didn't realize he takes your items

that makes it significantly easier haha

I have now acquired God's Silliest Soldier™️

[runic fox]

I think you can force-close the game to essentially make it so the run never happened.

Which means no need to fetch the battery again.

[royal quiver]

Hey so, every time I play with one specific person my game crashes after going to Contact Light, I am the host. Any idea what could be causing this?
Doesn't happen with others nor in singleplayer. Haven't tried reinstalling the game yet (will probably do that later).

[runic fox]

Anything unusual about their username maybe?

[royal quiver]

I don't think so.

[primal valve]

High possibily that person is using mods that modify contact light causing you to crash.

IF it only happens with them

[royal quiver]

They play unmodded.

Also worth mentioning that I've played with them before, even beat Providence a couple of times and this is a fairly recent occurance.

[cursive forum]

There is no update for rorr?

[jovial field]

no, sadly. it likely will not get another

[cursive forum]

😭

[potent narwhal]

can you use full looting for ror one?

[jovial field]

what do you mean by "use full looting"

[potent narwhal]

as in fully looting the map

[jovial field]

ah. I mean yeah you can

[winged roost]

Is RORR coming to consoles soon?

[jovial field]

no. it likely will not recieve further development

[winged roost]

Oh 😔 I was looking forward to Playing it. I don't have a switch anymore and I don't have a computer to play it

[jovial field]

unfortunately circumstances have changed and there's not really anybody to develop for it anymore
i guess 2K could port it if they wanted to but there's no evidence of any plans to do that

[winged roost]

Dang. Btw from what I could tell it's the first game with all of 2 items and more content right?

[jovial field]

yep. it's RoR1 plus more items, more survivors, more enemies, new stage variants, a new gamemode, etc.

and it just feels a lot smoother to play due to an overhaul of the movement system

[winged roost]

Then technically couldn't they just update the first to returns?

[jovial field]

what do you mean

[winged roost]

The first game is on consoles. Couldn't they do an overhaul update to make it into RORR

[jovial field]

probably not

1. rights issues and 2) it's a lot larger of an overhaul than that, it would essentially be the same process as porting a new game

[winged roost]

Oooh alrighty. Also idk but is commando from 1/return and 2 the same commando? His mood in the intro from two is pretty ominous like he's done this before

[jovial field]

no

explicitly the only returning character in 2 is Acrid. all other characters are just new people with the same jobs

[winged roost]

Alrighty. Then what happened to the first crew after you escape

[jovial field]

the fate of Commando (or any of the characters) in RoR1 is intentionally left something of a mystery

uhh lemme see if i can find the quote

[winged roost]

Alrighty

[jovial field]

discussing Void Fiend :

[winged roost]

Ooh alrighty.

Still makes me wonder why it seems like commando has PTSD just on the way to the planet

[fervent copper]

two different commando's, even if the ror1 one escaped the ror2 one is a different guy

[livid garden]

yeah the question of "where the hell is the contact light and who's in it" is one that the games deliberately don't answer

the only ending of ror1 that we know isn't canon is solo acrid win

[fervent copper]

and apparantly chef now too

and possibly arti

[livid garden]

not really, 2 chef isn't 1 chef

arti is unknown

[fervent copper]

they imply it heavily

for both of them

[livid garden]

2 chef doesn't have legs 😭

[fervent copper]

they almost outright say it in his dev diary

they say something along the lines of "chef has been on the planet so long he has learned to adapt and replaced his noodle legs with a rolling pin"

[tender gazelle]

ror2 chef is likely the chef that was on the verdant falls ship

if you read his log and the falls log youll notice it's the same individuals, sorta implied that it's post contact light too in the falls log

[runic fox]

Makes for two characters that are from the contact light, that.

[fervent copper]

generally you should just be exploring, picking up anything you can along the way, and when you find the tele hit it immediately and continue looting

[boreal ermine]

i would personally not advise hitting it super early

otherwise you will potentially miss out on money to buy something good like a large chest

but ultimately it does depend alot on vibes and how you choose to play the game

[boreal ermine]

by default i just try and loot at a reasonable pace, not taking too long unless i really want to burn my money

if i take longer in the previous stage(s), i might try and do later stages faster

this especially applies to stage 4 which can be very oppressive and is very likely to kill you if you've been failing to play the macrogame until then

[livid garden]

it's okay to camp out the enemies for the 90 seconds! in fact id encourage it

you won't have an easy time even with this with all the flying menaces and overloading menaces around, but it's a great way to make the swarms more manageable

[stable pumice]

does ukulele only hit 3 enemies that it spreads to or does it hit everything that it touches

[visual wave]

How do you get to the Legendary Chest in the Contact Light (Stage Variant 1)? I looked it up on the OG RoR wiki and can't find the ||hidden rope||

[boreal ermine]

does the rorr wiki not say where it is

it's different from ror1

[visual wave]

It doesn't :(

[zenith garden]

just added it

[visual wave]

Thank you 😭🙏

[forest stirrup]

opinions on ror1 and should i invest in it

[valid finch]

no not really unless you wanna play starstorm

and with how great starstorm is the ror1 jank is still there

just get returns

[fringe quail]

starstorm is SO good though

and there are other sick characters & mods

[valid finch]

Correct but at the end of the day ror1 is ror1

And starstorm returns is dropping (in 2056)

[placid talon]

do I need to kill 15 enemies with one ability or 15 enemies in short period of time?

[livid garden]

kill them all at the exact same time, iirc

[placid talon]

damn

what's about beating 3 stage without being hurt

if I will loop and then beat 3 stage would it counts or not

[royal quiver]

You specifically need to activate the third teleporter without taking damage.

[primal valve]

That one is same frame kill, "simple" to do with Golden bomb by stacking enemies that can't climb under ropes.

[placid talon]

Alright it's time to do 5 loops again

[mild sun]

So, my bastard controller disconnected near the end of my run.

The game doesn't seem to want to recognize it, and I assume it won't until I restart. I don't want to restart and lose my run, and I've never played on keyboard before, so I don't feel good about finishing the run with it.

Am I screwed? Control options doesn't seem to have anything for switching input devices.

[sharp wigeon]

hey frens, how do you mod risk of rain returns? i cant find it as an option in r2modman and i could find very little details on how to do it

[boreal ermine]

is your r2modman up to date

update it, it will be there.

[fickle flicker]

Bro i dont get returns

Coming from ror2

What am i even supposed to be building for

[boreal ermine]

you dont build in this game really

[fickle flicker]

In 2 u just build speed and ur good

[boreal ermine]

you take what you can get

try and get value out of the items that you get

focus on efficient traversal and looting

[fickle flicker]

what if i were to put it this way, if i were to do a artifact of command run with miner what items would u pick

Ik theres not really any form of scrap in this game but it gives me a good idea of oh this is a good run or bad run

[boreal ermine]

uhhh
i really dont play with command so honestly i dont know lol
command gives me choice paralysis most of the time

[fickle flicker]

thats fair

[boreal ermine]

most characters benefit from roughly the same things
crit builds tend to be consistently very strong outside of characters like acrid who don't care about crit

crit glasses + predatory instincts is a very powerful combo

[fickle flicker]

hmmm ok so like maybe crit glasses, pred insticts, maybe scythe to heal?

[boreal ermine]

that too

[fickle flicker]

What are most effective healing items

[boreal ermine]

leeching seed is great on high firerate characters

[fickle flicker]

isnt sythe generally better

once u build enough crit

Ah ig u cant really do that

nvm'

[boreal ermine]

well, usually you take what you can get

so yeah

usually its not a matter of which item is better, its just a matter of "how do i make best use of the items i have"
multishops are the most choice that you ever get

[valid finch]

Nothing you take and go

Difficulty comes from proper knowledge of the map primarily

And how to effectively loot

[fickle flicker]

is the map layout the same verytime

[valid finch]

Full looting is still the best

no every map has 6 variants except contact light with 2

And each stage except 5 and contact light has two possible maps

[boreal ermine]

basically 2 main overall layouts for each standard stage

that each have 3 subtle variations which you don't really need to worry about much

[stark loom]

I love how kris defends rorr staying in an underperforming console and not branching out to xbox and Playstation

[boreal ermine]

????????????????????

[valid finch]

Its almost like they literally cant branch out lol

[boreal ermine]

i also literally don't ever recall doing that so why single me out
unless you refer to a different kris but im not aware of any

[boreal ermine]

what did you mean by this

[jovial field]

rorcord is a wonderful place full of people chomping at the bit to make up strawmen to get angry at

[pallid vessel]

lovely place ain't it?

[stark loom]

That i think ror1 and rorr aren't that different for gearbox to portal, as they did for the dlcs

[jovial field]

1. that's simply not true. you are pretending to understand how porting works without actually knowing how it works
2. Gearbox aren't the developers of Returns, they were the publisher before their publishing branch dissolved. There are rights-holding issues in the way of anybody making any ports, let alone actually getting ahold of development builds of the game from the now-dissolved Hopoo Games
3. This doesn't explain why you decided to pretend Kris is some kind of weird Gearbox whiteknight when they have said almost nothing on this subject. It seems like you were more interested in being inflammatory than having any kind of productive discussion

not to mention that Kris is one of the few people on the forefront of building mods for Risk of Rain Returns. between you and Kris, one of you has a more thorough understanding of how the game actually works under the hood, and it isn't you

[valid finch]

“I dont know what im talking about”

[stark loom]

One is 3D the other is 2D .

This is some nonsense

[jovial field]

wait, sorry, when you said ror1 in your previous message, did you actually mean ror2?

because if that's the case your claim is even more ludicrous

[valid finch]

Wwwhat..?

Rorr is the remake of ror1

Its still 2d

lol?

[stark loom]

Yes , but if they can port 3D dlcs , then what the fuck is holdup? Yes I saw that gearbox publishing had shut down , but that was in June, seekers released in August. It clearly doesn't have a big effect , if they still deliver on specific console updates???

[tender gazelle]

we dont even know if gearbox can work on rorr lmao

rorr is not owned by gearbox the same way ror2 is, it was an exception to the ip sale because it was a hopoo developed game

[valid finch]

wowie you clearly have no idea whats happening

thats not how this works

(Unfortunately)

[stark loom]

Ah I thought they bought hopoo games , mb

[tender gazelle]

nop they only bought the risk of rain ip

hopoo is still kind of a thing but most (or all?) of them are working at valve now

[fervent copper]

And RoRR was made by hopoo with permission from GB, under the GB publishing branch, which has ceased to exist. The game literally cannot be updated until Take Two decides to get off their asses and do something.

[boreal ermine]

it is not that simple lol

but whatever

[old pewter]

it kinda is?

[boreal ermine]

#risk-of-rain-returns message dee elaborates here

[old pewter]

just cause it could get updated doesnt mean it would

[boreal ermine]

i mean in terms of the take two thing

[old pewter]

yea

[obtuse plank]

i have not been in this sever for a good while has there been any talk of returns coming to xbox ?

[boreal ermine]

i would not count on it

[obtuse plank]

[boreal ermine]

the situation is too nuanced to summarize but the devs are not able to even push updates to the pc version

[obtuse plank]

dang

[boreal ermine]

so yyeah console ports would be severely pushing it

[orchid sparrow]

Man this game has been fucking butchered because of publishers and shit

Game did not die, it was fucking assassinated bruh 😭

[balmy geyser]

Do you mean 2 because returns is still pretty great

[boreal ermine]

rorr was a victim of mere unfortunate circumstance

there was no malice or intent involved in how it ended up

so calling it an assassination is kind of dramatic

[civic rock]

Sooo rorr updates are not possible?

Unless god himself comes to earth and makes a shocking miracle

[boreal ermine]

most likely not

its not quite conclusive but

[nocturne tartan]

For now, we have the deerector’s cut

[civic rock]

Does robomando have it's own logbook?

[tender gazelle]

na

[civic rock]

GYAT DAMN IT

Boutto turn on the cold shower and cry

[mystic scroll]

I'm having trouble finding the bug section for RoR Returns but wanted to mention for the Nintendo Switch one the Infusion is bugged or broken. I had 5 of them and it still no matter how much kills I did gave me no extra HP unless it works differently that I'm missing.

[valid finch]

were you using glass

[mystic scroll]

I believe so yes it's it useless with it?

[valid finch]

thats your problem

not useless but it dosnt give you hp on every kill

i think its like every 10 i dont remember

so infusion cant just cheese glass

[mystic scroll]

Ok that's what I was suspecting but even after 20+ kills I paid attention to it and it wasn't giving any hp still so I'm curious what the new function for this one might be

[valid finch]

i dont remember the numbers

but yeah its not bugged

intentional so you cant just get lucky with an infusion

and nullify glass downside

[mystic scroll]

That's fair thanks for the feedback. I do glass and others to make it challenging as I like a challenge but was surprised it didn't work the same as the last 2 games

[primal valve]

Due to publisher for game not currently existing developers have no way of updating the game so bug report section is hidden/archived
Shortly gearbox publishing was dissolved as take two bought gearbox leaving rorr into effective limbo in case of updates if I recall correctly.

Also glass should multiply infusion gains by 10% so you should still gain hp but at vastly reduced rate of 1 in 10 kills or so, don't remember off top of my head how infusion stacked in rorr

[mystic scroll]

Gotcha, shame but it happens. Thank you very much for your time, patience, and efforts reaching out bringing me up to speed.

[nocturne tartan]

what version of r2mm do you need to mod returns?

I don't currently see it on my list of games

nvm, it's working now

[nocturne tartan]

ok so it's not working

I'm able to open the game, but it doesn't load any mods

I'm on steam deck btw

[boreal ermine]

oh i know, hold on

WINEDLLOVERRIDES="version.dll=n,b" %command% put this into your rorr launch options

[nocturne tartan]

Oh neat

[old pewter]

i hope gale adds rorr mod support

i think it will eventually from what ive read from the dev

[nocturne tartan]

ok, I'm finally getting around to adding this to my launcher. Is it exactly as written?

[boreal ermine]

yes

you can copy paste the code block and it will work

[nocturne tartan]

oh shit, it works

thanks so much, Kris!

[boreal ermine]

🐱 👍

[twilit lodge]

no

[civic rock]

yo so i saw some wierd device and ive used classified acces code on it and it started doing the lil minecraft beacon thing can someone tell me what the hell did i do

[boreal ermine]

fight provi and find out :3

[civic rock]

ok 😄

me 1 minute before providence!

DAAARN

HE GOT OMNI MAN TREATEMENT

[cedar iris]

Best reaction

[fiery bronze]

When will the game come to Xbox? I really wanna play it🥲

[jovial field]

it likely will not

[fiery bronze]

sobs

[rose merlin]

trying to play multiplayer but it says failed to join lobby, anyone know why?

[shut haven]

Small question do you have to find all 3 fragments for an artifact before it appears or can I randomly just find it because I was playing and stumbled upon it and I do not know if I got all three artifact fragments

[crude kayak]

there are 4 fragments

and as long as you get them they save between runs

[vocal bobcat]

Hey !
Is there a place to find how each items are scaling and what's the cap for each of them ?

[crude kayak]

That info is all in the logbook (Logs and Unlockables on the main menu) and there isn't really a limit to how much you can stack items

crit will end up with a limit because having over 100% doesn't mean any more damage for you so it has an effective max of around 13 iirc

https://riskofrainreturns.wiki.gg/wiki/Risk_of_Rain_Returns_Wiki alteratively you can head here for more specific information

[vocal bobcat]

The logbook / wiki are kinda craps, it doesn't tell you how items stack and how they cap

For example:

• crit items stacck are linear and cap at 100%
  but evade or cooldown reduction isnt, you can stack :
• 15 hermit scarf and still get hits
• 4 rapid mitosis and still have cooldown on items

also armor is very misleading, the item description says it give 14% dmg reduction but you still takes damage even after stacking dozens
not to mention items that "stack with times" like the golden gun or piggybanks
there also seem to be an hard cap on how many rocket you can fire at once, and it just buffer them to fire them overtime

All of theses makes me wonders how other items behave like :

• 56 Leaf Clover -> is 100% at 65
• Boxing Gloves / Concussion Grenade -> at 17 (doesn't seem to be the case because I can't stunlock enemies with max nade)

[crude kayak]

Are you using the wiki.gg? its just kinda better than the fandom one

it seems like it does have the info you are looking for

[tender gazelle]

not in every single page but yeah it does have some more (and correct) info than the game

should probably have the armor formula in the tough times page though

[jaunty vector]

in multiplayer, does mercenarys parry still have a chance to bug you (the merc) if you're not the host?

[livid garden]

i think so

[lone granite]

am i playing wrong or is acrid just a paper bag in melee

[livid garden]

acrid has among the highest bulk in the game, but you generally don't wanna play him full time melee

[lone granite]

it just feels like i die if i touch melee at all because of his melee not stunning like loader, hand-e, etc

[livid garden]

acrid's melee is pretty bad compared to most, you're supposed to play him like a melee-ranged hybrid

stay at midrange unless it's safe to go in, leave caustic sludge and use epidemic with his utility to rack up aoe damage

save your primary for bosses that can't stagger, or enemies you know you can stagger

[lone granite]

i just love acrid's design, but his main playstyle just, imo, doesnt fit how he looks, he looks like he he would be a brawler like loader

the poison is cool i just cant get it to work

[livid garden]

funnily enough this concept of "melee ranged hybrid that focuses on dots" kinda transfers to his ror2 playstyle

[lone granite]

in ror2 i just run bite so i can be a melee character lol

cant do that in returns

[livid garden]

if you want to pretend to be more melee, run bubble and spend your time bouncing on it above enemies

[lone granite]

i really dont like bubble, again, i like his set, i just cant get it to work

ok, tried corrosive wound, already working better lol

[lone granite]

anyone have tips for miner? i enjoy him but i cant play him very well.

same with HAN-D

[old pewter]

i reccomend getting blast drone

[maiden kraken]

Miner’s best loadout is 1-2-2, so I’d recommend you use that. You can swap out the utility for the base one of you have trouble not killing yourself with it.
Basically, play carefully until you’re about to or in scorching. At that point you can use your skills to deal good damage and create iframes while also making sure you retain the status with your primary.

It’s kind of like merc with more steps, I guess.

[lone granite]

ok, ill try to remember that, thanks

[valid finch]

miner doesnt really have a best loadout

everything in his kits good

[lone granite]

I believe you because of your pfp

[maiden kraken]

I mean… the primary options seem kind of definitive.

[valid finch]

not really lol

if you know how to take advantage of the angles its pretty damn solid

not my favorite choice just because i wanna play a melee

but its pretty damn good

[maiden kraken]

I don’t see how a survivor with all melee skills benefits quite as much from a ranged primary.

[valid finch]

because youre playing a game that can nuke you in an instant if youre not careful

alt primary hitbox can function as a melee if you wanna play a melee real bad

but if you wanna play a melee real bad just use normal primary

lol

[maiden kraken]

I need to stop using alt utility. I greed too much and kill myself lol.

Ironically, whenever I start playing Returns again and try to beat the game as every survivor with distortion, I’m probably gonna need it.

[valid finch]

https://medal.tv/games/risk-of-rain-returns/clips/j74LqSqUsWtvzepNs?invite=cr-MSwxa2IsNDQ2NzgwNTAs

it can pretty much function as a melee

with the added benefit of being pretty damn good at a range if you can use the angles well

obviously a stage 1 rush isnt everything but im too lazy to play a full game rn

ive played with it enough

its good

[livid garden]

alt primary pierces when scorching, so it's pretty effective

it's also the only way to boost your scorching at a distance without killing yourself

(burnout is cool and all but VERY dependent on getting some good healing items...)

[nocturne tartan]

+1 armor = +1% max health. simple as

[royal quiver]

Any tips for this one? That's my last unlock and I already tried playing him "normally".

[boreal ermine]

go in-game and just tape down your primary fire for 5 minutes while in shield mode

you dont even have to be fighting enemies

[royal quiver]

Oh fr? What 😭

[boreal ermine]

yeah its stupid

[warm hemlock]

Quick note: The teleporter can't be charged in order to get this achievement

[royal quiver]

Got the achievement. Thank you so much!

[civic nimbus]

did they change this

because it did not used to work like that

i had to change my damage down to the lowest so i can keep hitting enemies without killing them

[fervent copper]

No it always was that way

You just can’t do it after the tele is charged

[civic nimbus]

no way dude

i tried that and it didnt work

like twice

[proud peak]

I just put on kin until it gave wisps and then just sat in a corner while letting the wisps repeatedly hit the shield

[ashen pendant]

guys im not good at rorr please dont tell me that i accdentally loaded up into monsoon

[fervent copper]

You did

[random python]

I believe in you

[ashen pendant]

found out the hard way

[potent narwhal]

if i attained the game questionably is it worth the buy just for multiplayer or not?

[fervent copper]

You should buy it legitimately cause it is illegal to pirate it and you are hurting the devs by doing so.

[potent narwhal]

ok thanks

[sonic gust]

How do I get the "Sleepin' With The..." achievement. I haven't played the game in a year but I wanna get it because it's the only thing I'm missing on my profile 😭 (RoR1 btw but like, no better place to ask this tbh)

[tender gazelle]

if that's the drown whorls one then play enforcer or han-d

they're the ones with the most notable knockback (enforcer on his m2 and han-d with his primary)

[boreal ermine]

enforcer's utility also knocks back upon activation

get a hardlight afterburner for free infinite knocking things back

[tender gazelle]

well theyre talking ror1

so none of that

[fervent copper]

Get a boxing glove too, extra knockback can’t hurt

[livid garden]

chef also works if you stack a ton of backup mags

(but those dont exist in ror1 either so just use hand)

[tacit elm]

for HAN-D's "Like New" achievement, do I have to complete stage, 1, 2 and 3 each without falling below 60% health, or do I only need to avoid damage on the third?

[terse magnet]

is risk of rain returns like ror2 but 2d?

[fervent copper]

Not really no

I would still highly suggest it, but don’t go into with a ror2 mindset

[terse magnet]

alr, but in what ways is it different?

[fervent copper]

Stacking items is less important to getting a variety of items. The teleporter doesn’t have a zone you have to be in, so you can loot the entire stage during the tele event. The 2D aspect actually changes gameplay drastically

[terse magnet]

is there any other big differences?

[fervent copper]

Character variety, Providence Trials, Item pool

[terse magnet]

what are providence trials?

[fervent copper]

They are how you unlock a majority of the alternate abilities and some items and skins. They basically give you a preview of the skill or item, or are just a lil minigame

[signal owl]

If you already did it then you probably made your decision already , but I say if you want to see the game go places it's worth the buy

[fiery lintel]

Has anyone else experienced an issue where every 3 seconds the framerate slows down heavily?

[spare solstice]

no

[drowsy sable]

is this version of ror on xbox?

[fervent copper]

Nope, and it will never come to xbox either

[drowsy sable]

and why's that?

[boreal ermine]

gearbox publishing is gone

that combined with other complicated circumstances

devs cant even update rorr on pc right now

[fiery lintel]

Gone??

[proud peak]

Gone gone

Gearbox publishing got absolutely wiped because of take2

[tender gazelle]

i ate it

[placid talon]

A bit late but yeah you need to avoid damage for all three stages

[topaz forge]

is engies skills objective or subjective? (like one skill is objectively better or is it just all subjective and based on preference)

[valid finch]

Theyre all good go wild

[timber swallow]

Is there a way to make this game harder its to easy beat the finall boss 10 times now

[boreal ermine]

if you're on PC, there's mods that add harder difficulties

[timber swallow]

Im on xbox series x brother

[boreal ermine]

you are in the wrong category then

this is for ror returns

[timber swallow]

Can u send me to right one

[boreal ermine]

#ror2-game-questions

[waxen ginkgo]

ok so i have 300 in ror2 i never played ror1 tho so idk if i should get risk of rain returns

[warm apex]

you dont need to have played 1 to pick up returns, it's in just about every aspect risk of rain 1 but better

[fervent copper]

The only reason to ever play 1 would be Starstorm

[topaz forge]

its a very good game! id say you should try it out, and if you dont like it you can refund it. if youre using steam ofc

[fervent copper]

WAIT THIS IS A DIFFERENT AD WTF

two completely different “executors”

[proud peak]

I hate the amount of links I could accidentally click if I wasnt careful

[shell valve]

mean shit tbh

[spare nova]

Any beginner tips for this game in specific? Not very familiar with the genre

[fervent copper]

Get familiar with the items and stage layouts. Looting is half the battle, if you get good stuff in a fast time you will do better

Each survivor has their own skill set, making some excel in certain areas compared to others. Find the character that you enjoy most.

Unlock and play through the Providence Trials. They give you alternate abilities for every character and can also unlock items.

[ancient basalt]

Is this coming to xbox soon?

[fervent copper]

Never

[ancient basalt]

Why never?

[fervent copper]

The game cannot be updated anymore, let alone ported

[native wing]

Updated? Why so?

[jovial field]

very complex publisher complications

gearbox publishing stopped existing + the rights went to 2K whom Hopoo didn't have a great line of communication with + Hopoo Games stopped existing not too long ago and partially got absorbed by Valve

I feel like a thorough explanation of this should probably be pinned somewhere

[native wing]

Damn that sucks ass honestly

What an absolute shame

[boreal ermine]

it is what it is

[native wing]

Yeah

[boreal ermine]

atleast on pc the modding scene is very slowly kicking into gear

[native wing]

Is it?

[boreal ermine]

yes

[native wing]

So there could be modding for ror returns?

[boreal ermine]

there Is modding

mods exist

[native wing]

Yipeeee

But like, can you add characters and stuff?

[boreal ermine]

yes

[native wing]

that's hella cool

i wanna learn to mod it now

[potent narwhal]

should i play the original before returns or the other way round?

[potent narwhal]

also where could i access returns mods if i was to get it

[placid talon]

There is no difference, return is just better so you dont need to play original

You can if you want

[boreal ermine]

r2modman

[potent narwhal]

is that including starstorm or not?

[placid talon]

Right now there is no starstorm for returns but some people working on that

[potent narwhal]

no as in is starstorm for the original still worth picking up over returns

[valid finch]

as great as starstorm is for 1

and dont get me wrong

its great

the spectacle of "wow! thats a lot of new shit!"

sooner or later wears off and you remember that its ror1

ror1 has shown its age... alot

[placid talon]

Idk I played just vanilla

[valid finch]

personally get returns first

and if you really wanna experience starstorm you can

[potent narwhal]

i mean i did buy one and tried starstorm but after a while i got bored and stopped playing

i may try returns though then6

[boreal ermine]

yeah just get returns

starstorm is great but it doesn't fix ror1 being ror1

[native wing]

What's starstorm?

[boreal ermine]

goated ror1 mod

[umbral lantern]

Is returns going to get any further love? I guess it's in a "finished" state but still-

[fervent copper]

It’s modding scene is developing. As for updates, it’s complicated, but in short this game cannot be updated

[uncut briar]

When cross play

[boreal ermine]

probably never

[still parrot]

MERC FROM ROR AHHHHHHHH!

I too am a Merc Enjoyer

yooo and Nintendo Switch too. Just like me!

[fervent copper]

yes, it’s me

[civic rock]

uhh is there an achievement for doing all the providence trials with the lil golden crown award?

cause im kinda trying to 100% the game on steam and i want to know beforehand how many achievements require the providence trials done with the golden crown award thing wich i dont know the name of

[valid finch]

No theres one for 5 and 15 tho

Iirc

I think

May be misremembering but there is an achievement for golding some

[boreal ermine]

you just have to gold 15

[fervent copper]

Nope, only 5 and 15

[boreal ermine]

and do all judgements

[civic rock]

thank god its only 15

well... now time to unlock chef (how the hell is this so difficult for me)

[fervent copper]

Use command

[civic rock]

problem is that i dont have command

ik how to get it doe

i alyways dont get the right map for it

[placid talon]

Just do a loop idk

[civic rock]

I am NOT looping bro..

[civic rock]

question about one of the achievements uhh when it says "kill 15 enemies with sear/flambe simultaneously" does it mean like kill 15 enemies with sear/flambe at once?

my english aint so perfect so thats why i ask this

[civic rock]

(as chef ofc)

oh no nvm

found it out myself

[boreal ermine]

yes
it has to all occur on the same instant

oh im stupid

[civic rock]

nah man

alr i've got a question towards one of chef's abilities

how low does the enemy have to be for him to be able to be cooked?

like does it have to be below 25% hp or 10% hp or it depends

[tender gazelle]

its execute threshold is 10% iirc

[civic rock]

aig

[civic rock]

this is definitely a scam

yo so like the chefs escape quite says "so it escaped, entirely forgetting its own purpose" does it mean like chef just forgot he was a chef and now thinks its some killing machine

ngl thats a positive mindset i guess

[livid garden]

moreso, chef just kinda forgot that he's supposed to be cooking for customers and gained some form of sentience

if chef still figured he was chef he would have no reason to pull up to providence

though it's very unclear and your interpretation is pretty valid yes

[ember mica]

does proc coefficient affect the overspill proc chance on runic lens

or does it only affect the base chance

[boreal ermine]

wrong channel

[ember mica]

fuc

k

[civic rock]

question uhh does the "activate the 3rd teleporter without being hurt once" mean like

you have to go through 3 stages without being hurt once

(as commando ofc)

or it requires to only do the 3rd stage hitless

[boreal ermine]

yes

[civic rock]

oh my GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD

this item better be fucking worth it cause im allready loosing my mind

[boreal ermine]

i recommend the glass artifact

it's not too bad
rush two stages and then rush the tp on stage 3

[civic rock]

ngl yeah it wasnt that bad

[remote kindle]

How do you complete the huntress achievement of defeating 3 unique event bosses

[tame perch]

is this game gonna get any updates ?

[boreal ermine]

not even the devs know if they'll be able to

due to complicated circumstances

[civic rock]

It's probably impossible since like

The publisher doesn't exist I'm pretty sure

I think? Hold up let me look at a reddit

Yeah the publisher kinda dissolved as I recall correctly

And uhh I'm pretty sure hopoo shut down

Rip mod support

Never got to be added (unless it was added but I never knew)

[jovial field]

it wasn't added officially but there is a mod loader that works

r2modman supports it

[boreal ermine]

hopoo is dormant, not shut down

but hopoo being hired by valve was one of the many many complicating factors

[civic rock]

Oh damn

If they would be able to update do y'all think we'd have robomando log

[boreal ermine]

no

robomando not having a log is purposeful as far as im aware

[civic rock]

Oh

Well I could have expected that since the credits have a different music with him

So what things were cancelled because of these complications

Besides official mod support if I recall correctly it was supposed to be real

[boreal ermine]

mod support was never guaranteed, that was a miscommunication

[civic rock]

Oh

[tame perch]

tradic might cry

my b thx

[upper parrot]

I have a question, how exactly do you complete the close calls achievement (the one that gives you prophets cape) I know you have to dodge attacks but can you do that with roll or do you specifically need an item to do it?

[elder patrol]

You have to dodge attacks that would kill you with roll

Easiest way is to turn on damage taken to 999 then dodge 7 attacks

[upper parrot]

You can do that?

Also thank you

[elder patrol]

Yes

[upper parrot]

Ok I just got it that wasn't bad at all

[copper haven]

help I cant pass level 3

[old pewter]

kill monsters?

[haughty flume]

how do i get "yes chef"? because when i kill them in not sure its from the fire damage or sear damage, do they both count?

[fervent copper]

I’m not entirely sure, but I think it’s if the bison dies after being hit by both moves

They don’t need to die to anything in particular, they just need to be hit by both and then die

[wise tree]

i find that staying a bit longer in some biomes to farm elites for items helps

cuz one you hit max difficulty, that's it. its just going to be endless enemies but if you can survive, youll just keep getting stronger

that said, im struggling to beat normal difficulty and waiting for a good set of items to drop and make the early run super easy so i can farm up

[boreal ermine]

there's no max difficulty

the game scales infinitely

the visual difficulty meter doesn't present any useful information about the actual scaling

[patent mulch]

does ancient scepter boost robomando?

or do something with his special skill

[hexed gorge]

20% chance to get double drops iirc

[fervent copper]

which one is that?

[meager dirge]

Survive in lava for a minute. Fireman's Boots.

[fervent copper]

just outheal it

it gets trivialized by Prophet's Cape

[meager dirge]

Ah. Good to know!

Tips for Acrid's "Catchy"? Epidemic to 25 enemies. Partner tried it, Epidemic seemed to stop at like four or five enemies. Maybe they weren't close enough together?

[fervent copper]

group a large group of undamged enemies together (usually from a tele event), and then use Epidemic. Easier to do later in a run when scaling decides to shove 50 Clay Men down your throat

[boreal ermine]

[faint cloak]

I beat the trial with a score of 73

Do you get anythnig special if you get the gold

or is it just bragging right

It took me 30 tries

And I had to bind the jump to my mouse button

[primal valve]

Shiny UI for that trial and +1 towards Artifact of prestige (15 golds) and Gold Medallion (5 golds) unlocks.

[faint cloak]

what does the artifact of prestidge do

this is extremely difficult

[primal valve]

Only Specific trial that gives something for golding it is ||Judgement|| indirectly due to way that trial works

Artifact of Prestige force spawns Mountain shrine each stage, and mountain shrine buff stays between stages

[tender gazelle]

yeah for unlocks you just have to get 15 golds

pick the trials you found easiest

[primal valve]

This is what I've made with feedback from #providence-trials when I was more active in here to help people choose what to gold

[lunar oar]

What does the final trial innsue?

Like what is the trial

[primal valve]

||"Judgement" you pick any character then do 10 arena gauntlet with set spawns and items before each arena||

Is there a guide or something so I can see what are the easiest and hardest survivors for Judgement?

[primal valve]

This is how I rank them
~ Indicates Familiarity with kit pushes survivors up a tier or 3
Cheese: Drifter: Special introducing massive amount of extra items in low item envoriment.
Engineer: Turrets inheriting items let's Time Keeppers Secret proc many times and resetting turret CD with amethyst makes for near constant Time stop.

Easy: Pilot (Vertical reach is busted), Loader (high avaivability of Backup mags for long Invuln time at time)

Medium: ~Sniper (Arguably strongest Judgement character due to high damage but requires some familiarity to execute), Acrid, ~Huntress, Bandit, Commando, ~HAN-D

Hard: ~Mercenary, ~Artificer, ~Enforcer, ~CHEF, ~Miner, Robomando

[spare reef]

I have judgment with miner (my main) and Merc and I wasn't able to get it with engi (I died to providence) lmaoo

I didn't know about the turrets and the stop time, I will try it later!

[primal valve]

Engi Item choice makes signifigant difference, Amethyst+ Timekeeppers secret makes Judgement trivial with engi

For reference my should be easy to replicate engi judgement run:

on commando does rolling as you hit the ground decress fall damage? as i keep subconsiusly doing it, but im not sure if the fall damage is lowered

[valid finch]

yes iframes negate fall damage

[jaunty tundra]

oh ok

also, is it better to get every chest on a stage or rush the teleporter?

[valid finch]

up to you

[jaunty tundra]

oh ok

[valid finch]

both are viable

[jaunty tundra]

oh ok

[limpid current]

Will this game gets more contents? Does it have a roadmap? And will more survivors from RoR2 comes to RoRR?

[brazen path]

(RESOLVED) I am experiencing a bug where some stats don't save correctly

Achievements and such work normally, but stats such as death count increases, but when I restart the game, it returns to the previous as if I hadn't died. This started happening after I tried R2ModMan on rorr, and I also backup-ed the game multiple times and uploading the backup over and over.

fyi, I did check that I wasn't dying too quickly, since it might just be the game making Dio's harder to get, got to stage 5, died, shows up on the stats, restart the game, and it's gone again.

I've tried turning off and on steam cloud save, I've tried verifying files, I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, still happens. Please help

Update, still unresolved, I deleted all local files, reinstalled the game with steam cloud turned off, got a clean file, bug still happens.

Another update, my friend tested this out, keep in mind they have not tried modded gameplay, and they also experienced the same issue, so this might be a bug with the game.

UPDATE, I FIGURED IT OUT, it saves whenever the logbook updates, which is basically whenever you accomplish literally anything. I died, started a new game, collected sticky bombs for the first time, and then I restarted the game, and it saved. Thank you to everyone who helped me, I was really paranoid xd

[hexed gorge]

<@&559786374228738069>

[wise dove]

feardaszombie was banned.

[primal valve]

I don't remember where but check that your local save isn't Read only, as it prevents it updating after each session, haven't personally tried modding so it might have altered that.

[brazen path]

thanks, i will try that out and update about 8 hours later, i have school rn

[brazen path]

@primal valve I tried it, and it still didn't work. I also tried to give full access to all files related to the game, turned off antivirus specifically for the game files, started as administrator, all simultaniously, nope. Keep in mind that achievements, unlocks, all of that works normally, and also that my friend who has never tried modding also had this problem, so I think that means it's a game bug.

[brazen path]

okay, I think I figured it out. I died 2 times in 1 play session, and did 2 achievements, left the game, rejoined, and the deaths saved. So either only doing an achievement made it save or making the total game completion percentage go up made it save, since I got it from 79 to 80%

will update on this when I figure out which one it is.

I figured it out, it saves whenever the logbook updates, which is basically whenever you accomplish literally anything. I died, started a new game, collected sticky bombs for the first time, and then I restarted the game, and it saved. Thank you to everyone who helped me, I was really paranoid xd

[jaunty tundra]

nevermind realized I was wavedashing wrong

[jaunty tundra]

do equipment barrels count towards the item total?

[valid finch]

Probably

[uneven mantle]

I’m still dumbfounded as to how this can happen

[wild zinc]

Only if you have enigma enabled maybe

[jaunty tundra]

huh

[wild zinc]

Talking out of my ass maybe

Have you used the enigma artifact before

[jaunty tundra]

no

havnt unlocked it

the only artifact i have is honor

[wild zinc]

Oh okay

Enigma ||randomises your equipment with each use, and you start with a random one too. When you open equipment barrels and the like, they drop a purple item called “small enigma” which passively reduces equipment cooldown, so THOSE would count towards item total, but not the actual equipment themselves.||

Spoiler in case you want to find out for yourself

[strange tulip]

Are we ever going to get Steam Workshop?

I love this game but I remember one of the devs said they had the update ready to ship but couldnt because gearbox cut staff, it'd be a really great move if GB could release the update and please for the love of god not touch anything else related to the game

[jovial field]

it is unlikely because the situation is more complicated than that

if you're looking for mods, my recommendation is to pick up Gale Mod Manager and get mods yourself

they exist and people are working on them despite official support being unreleasable

-# you can also use r2modman if you want but i shill gale because it's better imo

How am i supposed to keep track of enemy hp to optimize either of bandit’s special skills when the healthbars always overlap

[valid finch]

much harder to do in rorr than it is in ror2

my best advice is to use your utilities to try and space them out

standoff can also be farmed before the teleporter starts

bandits alt utility synergizes much better with both of them than normal invis tho if you wanna try that

[uneven mantle]

Alright

[wild zinc]

also helps having his alternate utility skill, the smoke screen

really helped me make use of both his special and alt special

[uneven mantle]

So, as sniper, i had like 3 drones and repulsion armor (screen near me was cluttered) and on my first loop back to stage 1 (desolate forest), the teleporter boss is a leeching trokk horde. I can barely tell where they are with the clutter from what i just mentioned and the amount of other enemies there were. What do i do in that scenario

And ofc the trokks weren’t in sync so i couldn’t easily dodge once and then punish

[valid finch]

run across the stage

Forest is a large stage

Just run let everything spawn and filter out all of the fodder enemies

Then cut down the horde of trokks

[livid garden]

don't worry stage 6 is the hardest stage in the game if you're looping

things get a decent bit easier in the loop after it, but it's a HUGE difficulty spike

[uneven mantle]

Don’t trokks take your movement into account when choosing where to jump out?

[mild sun]

new to returns, suppressive seems much better here than in 2, is point blank worth messing with?

[boreal ermine]

yes

point blank's advantage is firing all its bullets off in one go

rather than sequentially

you can spend less time locked in place

[mild sun]

Ah

Yeah I do not care for the lock suppressive throws me in

[fervent copper]

Plus PB pierces

Which is really good in this environment

[boreal ermine]

oh yeah that too

it loses 35% damage per pierce i believe so you don't get insane crowd damage but it's still very potent

[marble pulsar]

What are the things on providence's head

[mild sun]

ty to both of you

[frail leaf]

whats the best miner loadout?

[open kindle]

is there a way to stop the game from slightly stuttering everytime i turn? this hasnt happened before today and ive reset my game/pc but nothing
along with this the audio disappearing for the rest of the time the games open when my headset unplugs is annoying too
apologies thhat this isnt so much about the game itself but i was wondering if there was a common way people dealt with these issues if at all

[valid finch]

ive never had that happen

[tender gazelle]

the latter is a common thing with some games and i dont think there's a solution for it

it's indeed quite annoying

[jaunty tundra]

where do you get the artifact of command?

[boreal ermine]

upper right corner of certain variants of hive cluster

[jaunty tundra]

fun

up here yeah?

or does it have to be a different variant?

[boreal ermine]

different

you'll know it when you see it

[jaunty tundra]

ok

probably should play pilot just so i can get to it if i do find it

[boreal ermine]

there's invisible ropes but yeah pilot will make it easier

[jaunty tundra]

oh ok

[jaunty tundra]

what are the chances of getting items fro the imp statues? IE is it the same chances as from a small chest

[jaunty tundra]

also is there a lore reason that the survivers dont drown on sunken tomb?

[fervent copper]

they are wearing spacesuits

[boreal ermine]

acrid just holds its breath like a gigachad

[jaunty tundra]

yeah actually that does make sense

[jaunty tundra]

https://tenor.com/view/acrid-acrid-my-beloved-acrid-ror2-my-beloved-my-beloved-meme-gif-24819584

[native wing]

is it possible that horror becomes one of acrid friends?

this horror btw

[supple peak]

what's the dps on pilot's m1s
having a hard time deciding which one to use since one has piercing + silly third hit gimmick and the other is just fast

[fallow oxide]

rapid fire has a very slight dps advantage

[supple peak]

oh peak, thanks

[jaunty tundra]

also pilots rapid fire allows for proc builds which are really potent in rorr

[uneven mantle]

What’s this from

Also does this game have proc coefficients like ror2?

[valid finch]

Everything has a 1.0 proc coef

(Vast majority of) items cannot proc other items

[uneven mantle]

Alright ty

[boreal ermine]

to be more precise: proc coefficient doesn't exist

and no proc chains

[soft python]

I know this kinda a dumb question, but I play on Xbox and my friends on pc. Is there a chance in the future that cross-play will work for those platforms?

[boreal ermine]

no

[soft python]

Dang

[boreal ermine]

cross play is complicated and we would be extremely lucky to get an update at all

[soft python]

Good thing I got a ps4 thankyou. My pc is just a potato and idk if I can run ror2 efficiently.

[boreal ermine]

wait

you're talking about ror2

this is rorr chat

[soft python]

Let alone returns no i know it's just if one or the other can't run im doomer

[boreal ermine]

well what i said only applies to rorr

can't comment on ror2

[soft python]

Thankyou still

[native wing]

Nuclear throne

[jaunty tundra]

is engeneer-bungess good for rorr

[tender gazelle]

not really

[valid finch]

Its not useless but not nearly as good as ror2 engi

stand by this image when playing engi

[jaunty tundra]

wait i dont have any alt skills (besides the morter thing) whats the alt one on the right?

[valid finch]

Alt turret

[jaunty tundra]

oh

how do you get it? (i would check but im in a run rn)

[valid finch]

Charges a bigass fucking laser that annihilates everything that thinks of crossing its path but its very frail and damages itself while firing

Get a beam drone iirc (combine 3 of the laser drones)

[jaunty tundra]

oh ok

[valid finch]

Idk if thats the right name but yknow what im talking about

[jaunty tundra]

yeah

is it better or worse then the standert turret?

[valid finch]

I think theyre about even but alt turret is much harder to get used to

But damn is it worth

[jaunty tundra]

k

[valid finch]

(Yeah this was a looped run and doesnt really prove much but its a funny move thats my point)

[jaunty tundra]

jesus christ

[uneven mantle]

Ima firin mah lazer

[mild sun]

Do engineer turrets slowdown time with the hourglass green

[tender gazelle]

yes

it's very very good for him

[mild sun]

Huh neat

[jaunty tundra]

imo the charicter variety

[mild sun]

What caused a fail here (I did not die)

[valid finch]

Did you think of the children

[mild sun]

I thought of them as I punted them into the parent

[fervent copper]

Did you kill the parent?

[mild sun]

no

[native wing]

you clearly failed because you didn't win

[mild sun]

Thanks, I was just wondering if there was a 3rd fail condition!

[fervent copper]

usually yeah

Pierce is king

r2modman?

[supple peak]

yup

[exotic egret]

ok cool ty

[exotic egret]

are achievements enabled with just running this on r2?

[supple peak]

yup

[exotic egret]

ty

is there a way to get it to give the description when hovering the items in the tab menu instead of on the bottom like ror2?

[valid finch]

Ehh not really

Survivors without mobility moves still do just fine

Its probably easier to play survivors with a mobility move as a new player tho

[proud peak]

A scam link

[orchid sparrow]

oh alright

[proud peak]

Like 99% of bans in this server

[orchid sparrow]

tbh i hope theres an appeal for that or something because i have had to make a new acc bc i got banned in a lot of servers bc i got hacked so

[nocturne sun]

Anyone know why my friend and i cant join eachother we get into a lobby and just get a purple screen when trying to enter.

[lime grove]

Hey guys

My friend keeps disconnecting in middle of our run can someone help us to fix this

This never happened in any other games only in ror returns

[old pewter]

how and why dis they cut the second arm

[tender gazelle]

well it did that because it's a voodoo doll

that's what they do

why they cut its second arm...idk

[primal valve]

Varies but I usually do 2 attempts at shrines initally (if I have money), then leave them and come back if I care enough and have enough money.

[stable spire]

is there anything that stops monster from dropping logs?

[fervent copper]

if they have already dropped their log

[quasi brook]

I just got the first risk of rain (not returns, the original), and I've got a couple questions: first, how do I beat the magma worm? I can never get much damage on it at once, and while I can often dodge sometimes it just comes out right under me
secondly, which character should I be using right now, given that I have Acrid and Commando? I've tried Acrid a couple times now and I'm not really sure which is better, is it just a matter of opinion or what?
finally, what do I do in terms of collecting chests and shrines? I keep on getting to the end of the level and having tons of money that I could spend, but I don't want to go around collecting all of them and then have the next level that much higher difficulty

[fervent copper]

Get loot

Loot is more important than time

You have to learn how to effectively path each stage to get optimal loot

And you can be looting during the teleporter so don’t forget that

[stable spire]

anyone have recommendations for doing aerodynamics on pilot? its kill 10 enemies without touching the ground or geysers for those that don't play him

[fervent copper]

Stack a shit ton of backup mags

and hardlight afterburners

Your goal is just to stay in the air for as long as possible, at the point in which you have enough the rest of your items should get easy kills for you

[supple peak]

if you're just looking to get the achievement then you could also just gather up a bunch of lemurians in stage 1 then parachute + both airstrikes in one spot + m2

[austere venture]

Loop.

[cursive rivet]

crossplay between playsation and pc?

[fervent copper]

Not a thing

Also wrong chat

[quasi brook]

in the original risk of rain one, how do I (or can I) get to those side area things
they've got things in them kinda shaped like teleporters but I can never get to them, either there's a jump that I can't get over or there's just plain old walls in the way

is there anyway to get through these or are they just there for decoration or something

also should I have VSync on or not

I've heard it's kinda on a case by case basis per game generally for whether you should or not

[fervent copper]

Depends, what stage is it?

[ripe dagger]

yo when unlocking robomando, does the moonsoon run have to be the run right after the drizzle one? or is it going to be always available to complete?

[boreal ermine]

you can do as many runs inbetween as long as you don't take the strange battery

[ripe dagger]

ah so if i took the strange battery but died, i have to redo the drizzle run?

[boreal ermine]

yep

[ripe dagger]

thnaks

[quasi brook]

nevermind, was for getting some artifacts, (didn't know what those were lol) but I found the necessary info on the wiki 👍

[vernal ferry]

<@&559786374228738069> hey free 50$

[wise dove]

[vernal ferry]

Another 50$ for Suncles, smh

[stable spire]

is there a way to increase the number of drones that spawn cause i tried using sacrifice like in ror2 but didn't really notice a difference

[fervent copper]

It did increase the drone spawn rates. Just not by a lot cause cause it also decreases the amount of things that can spawn

[stable spire]

ah i see

[potent narwhal]

will there still be discounts though? i might buy it one day

[cloud bloom]

how do you do the acrid bubble providence trial bro

[fervent copper]

You can hold the jump button to jump higher off of a bubble

[half marlin]

Is there any lgf chat

[boreal ermine]

#lfg-returns-pc #lfg-returns-switch

[quasi brook]

how do artifacts work, I'm confused

I just got two

[fervent copper]

In the main menu during character select you can enable them. They are game modifiers for the whole run.

[proper mica]

is there a way I can disable vulture spawns?

either with mods or just in game?

[boreal ermine]

wrong channel?

[proper mica]

sorry it was game question lmao

i thought this one was the one, which channel should i ask in?

[boreal ermine]

this channel is for rorr, and rorr doesn't have vultures

so i presume you're looking for #ror2-game-questions ?

[proper mica]

it does ?

nah im asking for rorr

[boreal ermine]

you mean evolved lemurians then

or swifts

[proper mica]

yeahh! the flying mobs, i dont mind them but my buddy hates them and we trynna figure out a way to disable them

not the bugs but I think its the evolved lemurians

[fervent copper]

are you talking about the ones that dive bomb you or the ones that fly around and swipe at you?

[proper mica]

the swiping ones

[fervent copper]

I don't think they can be disabled, even with mods

at least not currently, as no mod has been made to do such a thing

[proper mica]

alr ty, yeah that was my main question was seeing if there was a way to disable a certain mob swapn

[boreal ermine]

nobody's made a mod for that kinda thing

[proper mica]

damn, yeah I've checked in occasionally on the mod scene and its not as big as ror2

ty<3

[potent narwhal]

just a quick question, do you think ror1 is a good game to play while listening to youtube essays or not

also is risk of rain returns fun solo or not? i may buy it

[fervent copper]

It is very fun

Your gonna get bias from everyone here tho

[boreal ermine]

honest answer is: it's a weird niche and somewhat archaic game, but it is really good for what it is

so it's worth checking out

[potent narwhal]

oh ok

i meant ror1 btw

[fervent copper]

I get all of my irl friends addicted to it by forcing them to play it :3

[fervent copper]

Just get returns, there is literally no reason to go for ror1 unless you are gonna mod it

[potent narwhal]

no as in is for the first questiion

i bought ror1 instead of returns because its cheaper and starstorm

[boreal ermine]

that's fair enough

[potent narwhal]

i tried that with ror2 and they said it looked trash lol

[fervent copper]

If their judging based solely on graphics then they are actually why the game industry is dying

Graphics don’t mean shit when the game plays like ass, and vice versa

[wind granite]

if I obliterate myself with the Beads of Fealty it doesnt count towards the achievement?

[potent narwhal]

im sure it does

[fervent copper]

wrong chat

[potent narwhal]

anyway it doesnt really matter i have 400+ hours solo lol

[uneven mantle]

Too true…
