[jagged plaza]

but screen shake isn't tied to framerate no ?

will try still

[short spindle]

screen shake can often make you feel like the game is stuttering when it isn't

[jagged plaza]

it still does it sadly

it's a common thing i had in game like terraria for example which is tied to 60hz, tho in this one i managed to counter it via putting it my monitor to 60hz (which is still isn't ideal tho but eh)

[boreal ermine]

fiddle with the vsync option in-game if you haven't already

[violet socket]

Also free infinite knockback primary, every enemy has 20% less hp, and absurd damage secondary no matter which alt chosen

[zealous pilot]

Yeah pretty much LOL

She's kind of nutty

[violet socket]

I stopped playing drifter at some point because it was hard NOT to win

[zealous pilot]

She's super fun and i defo still CAN lose as her when i get too cocky, but yeah

[jagged plaza]

tried it, same on both end

if i remember correctly they said they would do it one day to make something with the framerate but since the engine is tied to it i don't know, i will wait until then prob

[final crystal]

What is the jelly drone called?

[weary cloak]

i've encountered what i think is a bug but im not sure if im just missing something bc i got the artifact of origin unlocked but it didnt complete its challenge/steam achievement, idk if its bc i completed it on drizzle bc i played on drizzle trying to do it in case it would make it slightly easier even tho maybe it didnt even matter bc you kinda would just die in 1 hit either way but i did that and played as bandit and i also killed providence with lights out which completed the desperado achievement and im not sure if that overlapped with it or if anyone else has experienced this or if i have to beat it on like rainstorm to unlock it bc i couldnt find anything on it

[violet socket]

This is known
The latest update accidentally swapped two achievements

[weary cloak]

ah ok

[nocturne tartan]

Doesn’t seem like there’s a tech support channel for returns, so I’m hoping this will help lol

[blazing thorn]

Is there any downsides for staying in a level for too long or can i just take my time?

[lost ridge]

yea

maybe not if theres a ridiculously priced shrine though

[blazing thorn]

What are the downsides?

From what ive seen

The monsters get strong asf

[old pewter]

strong enemies

[blazing thorn]

Alright

How long should u generally stay in a level?

[old pewter]

i usually take about 7 or so minutes, but theres no hard set rule

generally just get as much as you can and go

[lost ridge]

[old pewter]

time scaling is pretty harsh in this game especially

but items are still valuable

[blazing thorn]

Yeah its a bit overwhelming for a new player like me

All good tho

[old pewter]

id recommend starting out on drizzle personally and easing up the difficulty over time

[runic fox]

Time per stage isn't as important as time per item imo.

[old pewter]

yup

just be conscious of it really

you get a feel for it

[wild isle]

is there any way to delete my save file?

[uneven mantle]

You could probably delete your save data through steam

Like this

[nocturne tartan]

I’d advise no longer than 1 item per minute

[blazing thorn]

Wdym?

[warm hemlock]

The important thing to note is that items is still more important than time

The only 2 "main" differences here is that you can generally loot faster in this game and drones also count since not only can they be converted to items but they're also just good in general

[frozen notch]

play the game a lot and get a good sense for the layouts so you can mentally chart your course to loot stuff

time does not matter unless ur spending like 20 mins per stage
as long as ur killing enemies and buying out most of the chests and constantly getting items youll be fine

scrap drones asap especially if you bought drones early on; their repair prices increase incredibly steeply the more times you repair them and the game is incredibly wont to killing them through means outside of your control so they very quickly become a liability

the drone scrapper is guaranteed to appear on stage 4

golem/jelly drones also give you a boss item when scrapped

chance shrines are super not worth it; their prices increase by x1.7 instead of x1.4 meaning they stop being worth it after only 1 use, and they are also very likely to give an equipment rendering the pull useless

the early stages will give enough money for you to greed out one or two but its not recommended to go for them after that unless you literally have nothing else to spend the money on

same goes for drones, if you have nothing else to spend your money on, you can buy them early on to help out but scrap them the first chance you get after that

[blazing thorn]

alr

iwas using chance shrines alot before this

i was getting lucky

[lost ridge]

⁉️

chance shrines are still nice

i only abandon them if they get to a ridiculous price thatll take like 5 minutes for one roll

[frozen notch]

well more like 2-3 uses

after which you might as well spend ur gold on literally anything else

unless its the last thing on the stage

chance shrines still have a non negligible chance of rolling an equipment or voltaic mitt

[agile narwhal]

I think scrapping drones is char dependent

and also drone dependent

[wise gust]

Gonna stop opening small chests cause I might get a voltaic mitt

[frozen notch]

well normal chests dont give equipment so theres that

[agile narwhal]

scam shrines do be scamming

I think a better way of putting it is the first hit on a shrine is high priority, then roughly the same as everything else, then lower, then forgetaboutit

but yeah as you said plotting your path around a stage is important, which is why backtracking for a scam shrine for one more hit can be fatal to pacing

[frozen notch]

to be honest i wouldnt pay 8 dollars less just for a chance to get something

especially when you can still roll equipment or just nothing at all, and the next roll is even less worth it

tiny imp shrines are significantly higher priority even if it costs $4 more in total than 2 chests

they have no chance to give equipment which is a big part of why theyre super worth it, and the first use being $20 means you can get your first item earlier than from a regular chest

[agile narwhal]

ok yeah obviously some are better than others, doesnt mean im not gonna hit a cheap shrine while its there

if its not cheap thats another thing

[sterile bronze]

Is there a req for the robomando quest vase to spawn in the last level? Ive done almost a dozen runs so far and its never spawned

[primal valve]

Yes, be on Drizzle

[sterile bronze]

are u supposed to do it no artifacts

oh

[primal valve]

And have new Objects rule on

[sterile bronze]

Bru

[violet socket]

I mean chance shrines have a higher red chance plus two potential rolls so they have meaning to activating them

[pearl smelt]

was gonna say they do but that only probably only applies to the original risk of rain

[frozen notch]

they dont

idk what personalized copy of returns ur playing on where regular ass chests drop equipment

[trim raft]

ror1 used to be like that afaik

if you have classic mechanics chests can drop equipments

[frozen notch]

oh right i hate reading

[nocturne tartan]

like if you can only find five items in a stage, you shouldn't be dilly dallying around when you can't get more.
Conversely, if you find 20 items in a stage, staying there for a while is a good idea

[sterile bronze]

if i dont find robomando and restart do i have to do the vase part all over again

[shadow mural]

Yes, messing up ANY step during the second run means starting the whole process over again.

Make sure that when you enter the teleporter for the 4th stage, the timer is between 22:00 and 22:59.

[sterile bronze]

yea i just had terrible luck finding him in magma barracks

[fervent copper]

Once you take the battery out of the storage you have to get it that run or you will have to restart

[dire tundra]

(idk if this is the right spot but i think it is) I might be crazy but i remember seeing awhile a picture of a young providence statue but i cant find it anywhere

I think it was from rorr because it was 8-bit

[old pewter]

rorr isnt 8 bit

[old pewter]

none of the statues specifically depict a young providence either :P

[frozen notch]

probably a winslow tm post

[dire tundra]

i ment pixelated

also i did find it (it might not be providence but i think it is)

[old pewter]

oh yea

thats an early providence design

[dire tundra]

is it cannon? or just a early design

[old pewter]

early design that is kinda canon since its got a statue depicting it

but apart from that, no

[violet socket]

Its more so just an easter egg, no creature before the events of ror1 had actually seen close up what providence looked like
Only a rough silhouette
That's why all the providence statues are different

[old pewter]

im not sure where you are getting that from, but im sure many hadnt yea

[violet socket]

I forget where too but its pretty clear by all the different statues

The attack on the contact light is where they got their first clear look

...and last

[old pewter]

theres this, which is pretty cool

[violet socket]

I think that's where most of what I said was confirmed

[violet socket]

Oh and to be clear I meant intelligent creatures
Ofc stuff like golems saw them since they were literally constructed by them

[old pewter]

dont think its stated anywhere that he particularly was a hermit

just that a large chunk of the statues we see are made by inhabitants that havent seen him

[violet socket]

Indeed

Especially evidenced by beads of fealty log

[native wing]

can you imagine providence being a sort of superior parent

[hardy lichen]

Any tips for finding the new Young Jelly drones?

Been doing runs for abit and I barely find them, only one stage 5 variants

Does the artifact of dissonance increase drone spawn rate?

[warm hemlock]

Why would it increase the spawnrate.

Are you talking about Sacrifice?

In that case: Yes since a lot less interactables are able to show up but also no since a lot less interactables are able to show up

(Basically chests and things similar to chests wont show up whilst drones still do, however interactable credits overall is significantly lower with sacrifice I think)

[hardy lichen]

yes sorry mixxed them up

[hardy lichen]

Damn wish their was an easier way to get those specific drones

[hardy lichen]

@warm hemlock Idk what black magic you used but I literally got it after you told me about artifact of sacrifice

[lost ridge]

there is no way

all 3??

[hardy lichen]

1 on one stage and 2 on another

I think only 2 can spawn per stage

I think I had to hold on to just 1 for an entire loop (run took about 3-4 loops)

Seems only stage 1 and 5 can have them for some reason

I'm so lucky that there was a upgrade bay on the stage I had all 3 together

and then a drone scrapper the very next stage

[lost ridge]

i wonder if the damage sliders in the lobby affect drones........

[hardy lichen]

Wish I could say but I don't know :(

Anyways, I now disappear once more until the game updates again, take care o/

[wanton cedar]

New to the game…
What are you supposed to do when the grandfather does that inferno sun attack where you just melt no matter where you are?

[warm hemlock]

Wrong chat
But for an actual answer: If you stay Behind cover the sun won't damage you similar to vagrants

[wanton cedar]

So then stay in the shadows or is there some other visual indication of a “safe zone”?

Oh didn’t realize I was in the wrong chat, would #ror2-game-questions be more appropriate?

[harsh vault]

wait that actually looks really cool

that is a good early design

[lost ridge]

wrong channel

[uncut peak]

out of the suns sight
just behind somrthing

[runic fox]

Direct line of sight, in short.

[dawn spade]

I’ve been thinking about getting returns on my switch because I heard it does have a port and I don’t have a pc setup or anything. Is the switch port any good?

[agile narwhal]

the games in a rocky spot in terms of updates, switch is behind and will take a long time to catch up

i don't think you'd need like a desktop to play it? but someone else can pitch in there im not sure

[zealous pilot]

I think they mean that they dont have a computer at all

I would still recommend trying RoRR on the switch, its a really fun game and id argue that handheld is the best way to play

The switch port will probably never recieve the update the PC version got recently, but you arent missing that much

Just 2 items, a few bug fixes (which, all things considered, a pretty nominal) and a new drone (which is kind of bad lol)

If you DO have a computer/laptop/steam deck even, i would recommend getting it on there, purely for mods

RoRR modding is picking up, and with Starstorm Returns (obligatory shill) coming out its probably the best time to use mods

[dawn spade]

I’ll have to see about investing in a laptop or something, but in the meantime I’ll give the switch port a try

[agile narwhal]

oh I see

and yeah pc is better but I think compared to ror2, playing rorr on switch is a better time

as in it's not so bad to miss out on whats on pc

[dawn spade]

That was my main thing I was iffy about. I don’t wanna have FOMO lmao

[abstract wedge]

does anyone know how much the new dlc will cost (roughly)

[violet socket]

Wrong channel, but the same as both of the other dlcs

[noble crescent]

One year later … Still no plans to get a playstation version of RoRR ? 🙁

[violet socket]

Its unclear if this can ever happen at all, due to publisher shenanigans
Unknown if enough has been resolved

Its not necessarily that there's no plans (but still might not be) but just that it can't happen

[noble crescent]

That seems very complicated damn

Ty for the answer

[prisma path]

Across runs or in one?

I swear I have drowned more than 20 😭

[worldly shore]

In one run

[prisma path]

😭

[worldly shore]

Haaaave fun!

[fervent copper]

It’s overall iirc

It’s easiest in one of two ways:
HAN-D or Shield Bash Enforcer, either way you want to stack boxing gloves and just be patient

[shadow mural]

Incorrect

[prisma path]

You sure M

? 😭

Ong Ive killed more than 20 I'm pretty sure

[old pewter]

its overall ye

[lofty scaffold]

It was overall in RoR1 so I see no reason it was changed

[worldly shore]

AlrightIGetIt.gif

[violet socket]

Are you sure you understand the condition
And if you do 20 is a lot lol, you're probably about 1-5 short
Note if they die before they reach the bottom it won't count

[agile narwhal]

not to mention they sometimes drift onto another ledge after falling and you can miss that if you're not paying attention

[vale dust]

How I can unlock robomando?

[zealous pilot]

<@&559786374228738069>

[green lark]

Having a bit of an issue here and i am unsure how this exactly works but
When I booted up returns a while back artifact of spirit locked itself and origin unlocked I went back to get spirit and it unlocked. I went to unlock origin and it didn't give me the achievement for unlocking it.

Dunno how exactly this happened but I' d like to know how to fix this issue as I intend to 100% returns before Alloyed Collective drops.

[zealous pilot]

The new update introduced a bug to do with some achievements, i believe someone here posted a fix

I'll find it for you rq hold on

@green lark i believe this should do it

[green lark]

Where is obsidian again?

Is that ||Boar beach?||

[zealous pilot]

I believe so but im not sure off the top of my head

[vernal ferry]

Calcite is Risk of Rain, Obsidian is Boar Beach

[green lark]

Is that one through the like platforming under the stage?

[vernal ferry]

I think so

[green lark]

ill go loader and hope for hopoo feather then

[green lark]

I just got variant 1 of Ancient Valley 3 times in a row

Uhh issue I picked up the prism and nothing happened do i need to beat the run now or just quit out and hope it works?

quitting out did not seem to do it sadly

I am however going to attempt origin again to see if it has unfucked itself

[green lark]

So turns out it is still bugged. Picked up the prism about 3 time along with the other acrid prism too and nothing came of it.

[violet socket]

Me!!!
-# I failed...........
Anyways I was afraid it wouldn't work. It might just be impossible to get it right now due to the achievement identifier associated with the origin artifact pickup is mixed up rather than an actual swap

[green lark]

I’ve been trying for hours to figure out what could give it to me

Ive been trying the artifacts and the prisms

Thus far I have tried :
Acrid’s skins, Drifter’s, Loader's, Commando’s and Bandit’s
Artifact of Honor, Spirit, Tempus, and Command

[violet socket]

Its probably impossible
This was a theory since picking up origin gives you the obsidian achievement

And iirc people with the obsidian achievement but have never actually obtained the artifact have the artifact itself unlocked

[green lark]

yeah i obtained obsidian beforehand

Unless i am able to go into my data and delete my obsidian i think i might be cooked here

[green lark]

I'm going to such a point im gonna see if unlocking it in multiplayer would do the trick

[green lark]

fun fact it did not!

It also didn't unlock the achievement for the other person in my lobby

[green lark]

So in order to get the achievement as of now you need to down patch

I just got it after downpatching

[lost ridge]

<@&559786374228738069> this one is still here 🐈

[grave vapor]

Bot was just slow on the delete

[thick hollow]

Does returns allow you to bind controls to the mouse?

[lost ridge]

yea

theres also mouse aim

[frozen notch]

default controls let u use m1 and m2 for primary and secondary

i use scroll click for ping

[lost ridge]

not 360 but you can now use your mouse to aim left or right

[thick hollow]

Yay, I just got ror 1, and that kinda sucked, thanks!

[old pewter]

theres 3 sets of defaults

[frozen notch]

ya i meant the modern one thats supposed to be ror2 controls

[old pewter]

modern and ror2 are two different options, byeah !!

its cool that they give you multiple to pick from

[frozen notch]

whag

[old pewter]

modern is wasd jkl;

classic is ↑←↓→ zxcv

and ror2 is wasd m1 m2 shift r

[frozen notch]

pukes everywhere and dies

[lost ridge]

<@&559786374228738069>

Death

[muted topaz]

Can someone explain the difference between the base game and this version

Nvm I figured it out

[thick hollow]

Any tips for unlocking drifter?

[shadow mural]

Use Command and get a Drone Repair Kit for your equipment, then camp at the first drone scrapper you see and keep activating your equipment and recycling.

[thick hollow]

Thanks

[daring copper]

What is the % chance of Providence dropping a monster log? I wanna know (on average) how many times I'll have to beat the game before I can get it.

[grand sand]

funny question

did they ever fix the well known sniper bug in RoR1 for Returns?

Where your steady aim damage isn't based on the bar, but how long the skill is held down, meaning that attack speed ups actually make you deal less damage?

[boreal ermine]

of course they fixed it

[old pewter]

oh hey kris

!!!

hope yer have been well :)

[boreal ermine]

do not acknowledge me

[old pewter]

ok

[pearl smelt]

They fixed every ror1 bug including the random crashes. The memory leak, imps deleting huntress projectiles Everything!!!

[latent citrus]

Sorry if this doenst belong here, but a friend and I are trying to play together, and it keeps kicking us out of each other's Lobby, and we cannot figure out why that is. We constantly play all kinds of games together, and never had any such issues before. We even both did a full system reboot and made sure game files are verified, and nothing works, we just get kicked out of each other's Lobbies. Any idea what the issue could be and how to resolve it?

[shadow mural]

What system are you playing on?

[latent citrus]

We are both on PC, and both high end PCs if that matters lol

[zealous pilot]

Are you playing modded or vanilla? Are both of your games on the same version?

[latent citrus]

Vanilla and we should both be up to date as far as I know.

[zealous pilot]

Are you trying to join via steam or are you using lobby codes?

[latent citrus]

Directly though steam

[zealous pilot]

Is there any error message or anything like that when you get kicked out of their lobby?

[latent citrus]

Just says that it failed to connect basically, no error code or anything though.

[zealous pilot]

Strange

I'm not really sure, it could be an internet issue?

[latent citrus]

All we could think is that maybe steam servers are currently having a hickup or something lol. And we both connected fine to other online games. It is specifically this game lmao

[zealous pilot]

Reallyyy strange

Yeah im not really sure, sorgy :(

[latent citrus]

No need for sorries, I appreciate the attempt! :3

I mean the server list in general is completely empty, though I do not know if that is cos there is an internet/server issue, or if just nobody is playing haha

[west peak]

its the latter

the amazon servers got ddosed or smth a few days ago so maybe this is related is my only guess

[latent citrus]

Yeah I remember, was like 5 minutes before I wanted to hang out with people in VRChat lmao. Whats strange is that my friend has just been playing less than 24 hours ago with another friend just fine. I literally just grabbed the game earlier today so I can play with em, so extra frustrating its not working lol

[latent citrus]

OK well problem solved. I realized when I turned my VPN on I couldnt connect to the internet at all, so gave router a kick and that fixed everything at once lol

[waxen harbor]

does this game have save profiles?

i can't seem to find em anywhere

[lost ridge]

i dont think so sadly

[fallow oxide]

It does. I’ll let you know the save location when I get home

[waxen harbor]

hm, i found the folder, but deleting the save doesn't actually reset the game

i even deleted the local save and the game still remembers somehow

[lost ridge]

steam cloud?

[ashen heart]

Where do you find Artifact of Command? I never find the disappearing vines on Hive Cluster

[steep coral]

i think it only appears on 3 variants of that stage

i'm not sure if the location is the same for those 3 variants though

one variant i know for sure has the artifact in the top right of the map

[ashen heart]

Thats the one I keep seeing in videos, but they never say which variant that is or the location in other variants

[steep coral]

iirc it's 1, 2 and 3
the first three variants that the artifact of command can appear in
i would honestly say my advice would be to constantly be checking the top right corner of the stage, if you want a greater chance of getting command i would say to turn the new stage variants off in rulesets

[lost ridge]

<@&559786374228738069> Kill

[wise dove]

gibbonitis was banned.

[ashen heart]

:o Didn't know that was a thing, I'll try that out! Thx!

[steep coral]

no worries

[charred zealot]

Hi i never play ror return but i see a video about and i see a boss name providence so my question is u have mitryx and providence?(u can fight the both?)

[ashen heart]

Providence is the final boss of Ror Returns, while Mithrix is the final boss in Ror2. They are brothers! You cant fight Providence in 2 and Mithrix in returns though

[charred zealot]

Oh funnny it s like they create there own reality to create the world they want

(The only things i know about ror is mitrix and providence are brother and mitrix is the "bad" guys and providence thz "good" one)

[grave vapor]

yeah basically

but Mithrix is not so bad and Providence is not so good

[west peak]

do people actually fall for these

[grand sand]

does crit use RoR1 or Remaster's formula?

[violet socket]

? Its just an X% chance to crit, which doubles damage
There's no "formula"

[royal jungle]

i dont understand how to unlock the false son, help please

[zealous pilot]

#ror2-game-questions you wanna ask that there

[ashen heart]

Does anyone have some advice to share when it comes to looping? I keep dying just after Temple of the Elders when I think I should be able to survive (I play on Rainstorm)

[primal valve]

Jumping is extremely good for avoiding damage as most things attack only 1 "block" off ground. and in general staying on the move as much as possible while still doing damage.

[pine flint]

Does anyone know if the next update is dropping on console and pc at the same time?

[steep coral]

is this for 2 or returns

cuz this is the ror returns questions channel
you're looking for #ror2-game-questions but to answer your question yes it is i believe, except for switch

[pine flint]

Oh mb, thabk you though

[paper terrace]

Does anyone know which abilities are optimal for pilot?

[errant estuary]

I don't think anything stands out as unconditionally "optimal". I prefer Rapid Fire because it's good for procs, but Clusterfire has good piercing. If you know how to wavedash then Aerobatics is the best choice, but if you don't you will probably get more value out of Rapid Deployment. Airstrike is better for safety, but Aerial Support is more consistent.

[faint wave]

how are the stages for stage 2 and 3 so unbalanced in item count (i got my first monsoon win today and got the stages is feel like are tpyically better, sky meadow and sunken)

also is there a mod or smth to remedy that issue

[glass star]

How do I get the magma barracks artifact 🙏

[glass star]

Nvm I figured it out

[vagrant heart]

Does anyone know the item rarity drop chance on salvage?

[sonic pilot]

isn't it the level of drone you have that you salvage

[lost ridge]

its not chance based

[floral sierra]

my question would be after you get 10x glasses and have 100% chance to crit... Is the 11th+ glasses a waste?

[steep coral]

in returns, crit glasses only give 7% crit

per stack

you would need more than 10 to get 100% crit

or it's 8% i can't remember

[floral sierra]

ok well still lets say I have 100% chance after like 14 glasses

[steep coral]

but yes, if you get more crit glasses despite already having 100%, it'd be useless to keep getting them

[tender gazelle]

same as ror2

[floral sierra]

👍 🔥

ty

you would need 13 stacked plus the 10% first glasses giving u 101 crit

14 total

[crystal zodiac]

Will come to console

[granite ledge]

Sadly probably no

[crystal zodiac]

:{ I’m never getting to enforcer sad

[agile narwhal]

pretty sure this person was asking abt drifters special not scrapping drones

[agile narwhal]

in which case I think it's just the same as a normal chest? But I can't be sure

[zinc blade]

I was wondering if dunno if the devs will see this or not but do they plan to ever give this game to console? I loved the first and would adore getting this to Xbox but if not that's fine

[west peak]

4 messages above you

[violet socket]

Its 8% base + 8% stacking
Its one of those logbook descriptions that lie to you

[final crescent]

isnt this game on all consoles?

[lost ridge]

you are in the risk of rain returns category, which is only on pc and switch

[final crescent]

OOOOOOOH ty ty sorry!

[karmic narwhal]

Is v1.1 not available on switch?

[boreal ermine]

no

[karmic narwhal]

Shame

[livid imp]

hey uh how exacty do I get pilots main alt? is it like the die to the bomb only or I kill em after the bomb?

im trying to get into pilot but damn his regular shot kinda sucks for me even with the budget fmj

[lost ridge]

it does not suck lol

but anyway im guessing it wants you to m2 after launching them

[livid imp]

lol still somehow die every time with it

maybe I'm just ass with pilot

[shadow mural]

Kill after launching them. The idea is to use your secondary when they're airborne.

[clever bough]

any way to increase operator charge rate?

[lost ridge]

[clever bough]

oh ye mb

Is risk of Rain returns on mac?

If not, is there any way to play ot on mac?

[earnest tree]

Hey guys Im an indie dev. I was wondering if anyone could be nice enough to get me a copy on steam for my bday today because im an indie developer and I really wanna try the game that inspired megabonk. my last company did me bad so i wont have any money until my next software engineering gigl. It would super make myy day. Sorry to ask. hope everyones having a great day

[west peak]

[orchid pewter]

For the new boss in the DLC is it just supposed to be for new skins for occurring character characters???

[lost ridge]

[ivory edge]

yall i can't find the teleporter after killing the new boss

[lost ridge]

wrong channel x3

[ivory edge]

bro where is it

[lost ridge]

you are in the risk of rain returns section

there is an entire section of risk of rain 2 channels

this one aint it

[humble grail]

RoRR on PS5 when. 👀

[livid imp]

Brother is working overtime

any way uhh how do I get hand's blast drones

[hexed summit]

You need a gold drone

It’s the level 3 drone

I used gunner drones but I’m pretty sure healing drones work too

You just get 3 level 2 drones and combine them together at a combining station which usually spawn on the temple of elders

[west peak]

its a bit of a long run to get there, kin helps

[hexed summit]

Yeah it’snreccomended you use sacrafice so more drones can spawn

[daring temple]

Any idea if this will come to Xbox and PlayStation?

[cedar surge]

hi, should i play first the original risk of rain or just play returns? im not sure if is too diferent or is best play it directly

[livid imp]

eehhh just get returns

like you can get og but like the new one is nicer and if you really wanna you can turn the mode on classic

but then its more of a hassle to play you get it

[cedar surge]

hooo, ok thank you very much

[livid imp]

I mean if you wanna the og gets CHEAP on sale

like pack a gum ahh sale

[boreal ermine]

the original is more of a novelty than anything else nowadays
it's worthwhile if you wanna see where ror started and have big jank tolerance

returns just executes ror1 better

[livid imp]

ballride

[cedar surge]

like isaac flash and isaac rebirth

[livid imp]

kinda

[native wing]

Returns for sure, better in pretty much every sense. However, returns is better, but that doesn't mean ror 2013 is bad in any way

[west peak]

what are the three event bosses?

i think two must be direseeker and the artifact-guarding golem but i cant figure out the third

[boreal ermine]

providence and acrid

[west peak]

wait so which of the ones i listed isnt one?

[boreal ermine]

they all are event bosses

there are more than 3

[west peak]

ah

whats with the fucking water stage in judgement aaaaa

ten billion fire elites and macrobes i dont get how you kite this

[hexed summit]

Spam stopwatch

[native wing]

Yeah

[delicate nymph]

I play on xbox and all my characters and progress got deleted what should I do is there a fix?

[hexed summit]

Wrong channel

#ror2-game-questions is that way

[rugged meteor]

If i like ror2 should I get rorr?

[west peak]

i think so. its definitely closer to ror2 than the original is, it has alt skills and environment logs and unlocking everything takes a lot longer now

in other words it's ror1 but with the lessons from several years of ror2 on what can generally be improved or expanded on in a game like this, regardless of the amount of dimensions

[dusty reef]

I recently got a PC and one of the first games I got was RoRR, I haven’t beat the game once yet still.

However I have one challenge left on engineer and it’s the sentry one.

I wanted to ask what is a Beam Drone, and what’s the easiest way to get one?

[jovial field]

Beam Drones are the really big laser drones. The two ways to get them are:

• Combine 3 Laser Drones with a drone combiner. Laser Drones are much more common naturally, so it's just a matter of looping until you have 3 of them and then finding a combiner
• In rare cases, they can be found on Risk of Rain (the final stage) and purchased there

the combiner method is likely the most consistent, but both are relatively subject to luck

[slender mountain]

can people join mid run? or does it have to be at the start?

[boreal ermine]

start

[slender mountain]

got it. thanks!

[dusty reef]

Ah I see, thanks!

[bleak field]

is this game ever coming to Xbox

[boreal ermine]

no

[slender mountain]

for unlock conditions like "Defeat 3000 enemies as Huntress", is that in a single run?

[hexed summit]

Pretty sure it’s total enemies, not a single run

[slender mountain]

got it, thanks! that's more doable 😛

[shrewd pumice]

will this game continue getting updates i remember i heard that rorr is getting discontinued?

[prisma path]

Ok right

So is the whorls achievement in one singular run or can It be done over time

Nvm THANK FUCK

[west peak]

rn its looking like occasional bugfix updates since its down to one busy dev right now, but the game is closer to limbo than discontinued like ror1

[austere mirage]

hey so I unlocked (played as) heratic, but now in my survivor roster I dont see em in my roster

[hexed summit]

Wrong channel, go to #ror2-game-questions

[austere mirage]

ty, my bad

[native wing]

Wrong channel + can't be unlocked

[frosty horizon]

I hope the devs add the ability to see item descriptions and item log like in RoR2 in a future update

[torn temple]

ai người việt nam hg

[shrewd pumice]

im debating on getting it if it gets updates i will if it doesnt i wont

[west peak]

you dont need updates to enjoy a game

dont buy into triple a business model nonsense where games are omly valid when they get pumped with shit

rorr got fucked over but theres a solid amount of gameplay to be had here still

[shrewd pumice]

yeah i know but knowing that the game will get more content makes it more worth from a money standpoint

[west peak]

its a game, not a subscription lol

[lost ridge]

12 bucks for 239 hours of fun was not a bad deal for me

its down to 9.74€ now

[shrewd pumice]

i can get it for like 2.77

lol

[last whale]

does Hit List benefit Engie's turrets?

[hexed summit]

If I had to guess I would assume the engis get their own hit list

Which would start at zero

Since turrents don’t share your items, but get a copy of your inventory at the time you place it down

[exotic glen]

Is pilot a human or a robot

[lost ridge]

pilot is human, judging by his log

the robot logs are written differently

and it says that. yknow. hes an employee

[shadow mural]

HAN-D, CHEF, and Robomando are referred to as "it" in their end game quotes, whereas Pilot is referred to as "he".

[misty leaf]

cyborg

[mortal monolith]

is the steam achievement for the artifact of origin bugged in the most recent version? I looked it up and it said I have to revert to the beta and complete the challenge AGAIN to get the achievement, and I really dont want to ._.

[hexed summit]

Yes you have to do it on the old version

Don’t worry

Just get some gaurdian hearts and some red whips, a feather before prov, and you’ll be good

[mortal monolith]

yeah I already figured out the basic strats the FIRST TIME I did it

thats annoying :/

[hexed summit]

It is

I had to do it

But I just blitzed through it on drizzle

[mortal monolith]

its mostly the initial part of the run that annoys me cuz until you get that first item you just die from a slight breeze

[hexed summit]

Everything else dies from a breeze too

You could go engi to divert attention and have great anti air with missiles

Or pilot works too

[mortal monolith]

I mean yeah but then -bombs lol

[hexed summit]

I just know I did it with engi

You could also do a cheesy time keeper’s secret strat with your turrets

[mortal monolith]

oh and just in case are any other achievements bugged before I end up not getting them lol

[hexed summit]

I think it’s also the acrid prism

The one on boar beach

The reason for this bug is that those two achivements values were swapped or something

I’d reccomend grabbing that prism skin if you don’t have it while you’re on the old version

That’s it though

[mortal monolith]

well the only steam achievements I dont have are trials so I guess im good then?

aside from the artifact I mean

[hexed summit]

Yeah prism skins aren’t achivements on steam

They’re in game extra achievements

[mortal monolith]

ah, well I dont know then

[hexed summit]

There’s a lot of secret extra achivements

[mortal monolith]

oh that might be why I got a random acrid skin when I picked up the artifact on that run lol

[hexed summit]

9 secret skins, the secret survivor

[hexed summit]

You mean the artifact of origin?

Yeah

That would do it

[mortal monolith]

I guess I unlocked it lol

[hexed summit]

I assume you’re going for 100% then

If you’re talking about achivements

[mortal monolith]

I try I guess

[hexed summit]

There’s 3 kinds of 100% with returns

Steam 100%
In game 100%
And full 100%

[mortal monolith]

im guessing "full" implies like theres some that dont count for the in game progress counter or something, like the secret survivor

[hexed summit]

Yeah

I think it’s mainly just secret stuff

Like the 9 prism skins, the secret survivor, the judgement trial for the secret survivor

Oh

And getting all the enviorment logs

You only need 1 from each area for in game 100%

[mortal monolith]

im only missing 3 environment logs

[hexed summit]

all monster logs and item logs are required for in game 100% though

[native wing]

is one of them the fifth variant of the snow biome

[hexed summit]

That was the last log I was missing for 100% and it took me 3 HOURS to get it

[native wing]

Yeah it's so easy to miss

I remember when i was casually exploring with pilot and fount it after looking for it everywhere

[hexed summit]

Yeah, if you’re playing casually you’ll absolutely miss it

Then when I wanted to look for it the game said “fuck you” and rolled every other stage first

Easily the most evil log in the game

[native wing]

Agree

[mortal monolith]

I cant say for sure if I exactly remember now but im pretty sure it was the 6th forest, third snowy, and the first variant of the last level

[calm crane]

I know this is for returns but does anyone know how to deal with jellyfish in the original risk of rain the best? I don't know why but these fuckers are extremely annoying compared to ror 2

[west peak]

if you preemptively move for the balls, you can get them to hit spots nearby that you dont need right at this moment and so you can just sit inside them for a few seconds at a time between shots and beat them up

[violet socket]

What does this mean

What I do is jump before they do their dash so that just dash over me if I need to go past them

[west peak]

what enemy are you talking about

[violet socket]

And just back up until I kill them

[west peak]

i feel like its the macrobe and not the vargant

[violet socket]

Jellyfish???

That was the question

Mini vagrant

[west peak]

oh yeah the small ones

[violet socket]

And macrobes aren't even in risk of rain 1

[west peak]

yeah thats why i thought you thought it was asking about returns

[west peak]

force em to dash early on their initial approach and then you have a lot more leeway to move em around and kill them before they dash again

[native wing]

How many lenses for 100% crit again

[simple walrus]

13 if u dont have any other source

[last whale]

So for Miner, do Crush and Throwing Axe build up the same amount of heat?

[hexed summit]

Similar amounts yeah

Not sure if we have the numbers to know if it’s the same but it’s close

[last whale]

Word, thank you

[shadow mural]

I'm pretty sure it's the same.

[median prairie]

are there any videos y'all would reccomend for trying to learn miner. Im tryimg to do his judgment and I'm really struggling

[hexed summit]

https://youtu.be/f9dgocW2lcU?si=OUeza5iUF04NOxRf

[median prairie]

you're the goat ❤️

[hexed summit]

It’s what I used for doing my judgement runs

[median prairie]

thank you for sharing your wisdom Livewire

[hexed summit]

Np

[bleak river]

Anyone have a fix for the P-P server hosting lag issue when playing multiplayer?

[native wing]

any idea what the numbers after declaring the sprites are? frame duration maybe?

[violet socket]

First is number of frames, second and third is the coordinates of the image origin

[native wing]

thanks a lot

wait, wdym coordinates of image origin?

[violet socket]

Basically, the center of the image. The sprite is scaled and rotated around this coordinate, and when drawing the sprite it will be offset by the negative of this number

Used mainly for positioning sprites correctly in survivors and enemies

[native wing]

ohh i get it now

thanks again

[novel isle]

does anyone know how to get jellyfish drones? and if it works on sacrifice or not

[hexed bramble]

they should spawn on sacrifice since they’re not chests (neither are drones)
they’re slightly rarer than golem drones and spawn on stages 1 and 2 (and maybe some others i dont remember), you can just loop until you find one

[novel isle]

I spent 3 hours and my game crashed but I didn’t see one before so I’m wondering since the wiki doesn’t have info on it

[hexed bramble]

is your game on the latest version?

[novel isle]

yes

[hexed bramble]

the update was fairly recent all things considered and i dont think the wiki was anticipating one any time soon lol

[novel isle]

ohh wow

[hexed bramble]

it should spawn eventually it’s just really rare

[warm hemlock]

They spawn on stage 3 and occasionally even temple of the elders

[warm hemlock]

They work with sacrifice however sacrifice reduces stage credits by a pretty sizeable margin

[hexed bramble]

((as in interactables spawn way less
so yea probably turn off sacrifice if you’re hunting for it

[warm hemlock]

Its a 50/50 on whether it helps

It still might be better to keep it on just so you're near guaranteed to get drones (There are still some non drone interactables that spawn with sacrifice though)

[rose karma]

Does anybody have the typewriter sound effect in the intro of the game

[lost ridge]

you are in the risk of rain returns channel

[rose karma]

[dusky remnant]

What is this room for?

[shadow mural]

How many characters are in this game?

[dusky remnant]

Uhh iirc 16 ||including the secret character||

[shadow mural]

||That room is probably a spawn point for the secret character||

[serene tinsel]

Hi, did they change the number of logs needed to unlock pilot? because I remember unlocking him already before but when I reinstalled, I don't have the steam achievement for 15 creature logs and he's locked again

[spare cape]

algum br aqui ????

[slim heart]

Can someone guide items for operator?

[hexed summit]

Wrong channel

[livid elk]

How come artifacts still appear in the game once you have collected them for use?

I still find command on the big tp in fungal after I already have it unlocked for use

[hexed summit]

They’re just there

They don’t do anything once you collect them

Pay them no mind if you have them already

[rapid arrow]

i don't see the problem here

[hexed bramble]

same as ror2 if you revisit artifacts you collected already

[median prairie]

The commando challenge where you dont take damage until activating the 3rd teleporter. Does that mean from when you first land in stage one, or at the start of stage 3

cause im lowkey tweaking trying to do this

[shadow mural]

From the very start of your run, to the moment the teleporter event starts in stage 3.

[median prairie]

I’m going to cry

[shadow mural]

I recommend using Glass and Command, and prioritize getting items that help you avoid taking damage like Hopoo Feather. And if you do use Glass, get Ceremonial Dagger as your first red item, as that pretty much kills every enemy on the map.

[west peak]

i think for this one items that kill are more important than dodging - the longer something lives, especially a boss, the greater the odds it's gonna nick you eventually

its probably a balance

[median prairie]

I don't have glass unlocked yet so I'm going to grind to get that. I appreciate the tips

[shadow mural]

Both are definitely useful, but Glass will take care of the damage problem.

[hexed summit]

You can also put it on 200% damage

[rapid arrow]

glass, command, then choose prophets cape and ceremonial dagger start

[supple yacht]

is returns worth it

i might buy it

[lost ridge]

very lovely game

[violet socket]

Yes, though it is pretty difficult compared to 2 and 1

[supple yacht]

difficulty is unnecessary

i care about gameplay

[violet socket]

In that case very much yes

[supple yacht]

just watched the steam vid

im buying ts

and still gets updated?

[violet socket]

Its been locked in publisher limbo for a long time but an update came out recently and there seems to be a good chance for at least another
Make of that as you will

[lost ridge]

i hope so

[supple yacht]

game looks even more fun than ror2

[hexed summit]

It is more fun

[lost ridge]

i think theres a lot of love poured into every corner

every fucking ui element is cool and detailed

and has fun sounds

[supple yacht]

it is more expensive tho

surprisingly

[lost ridge]

when on sale sure

but normally ror2 is 25 euro and rorr is 15

and thats without ror2's dlcs

[supple yacht]

oh ye

[west peak]

its got more varied gameplay which is more accessible because the variety is more about the survivors than about learning 300 wiki pages of proc chains

[nocturne tartan]

I mean, I guess

[nocturne tartan]

personally a bigger fan of ror2 for this reason

[glacial roost]

how do you get this achievement i just cant get it man

[hexed summit]

You use an equipment activator in a level 5 times

You just need money

[glacial roost]

oh fuck i didnt get the game lingo

i thought it just meant activate teh same equipment

[low crane]

for robomando dont i activate 4th teleporter after 22 minutes? or before

[hexed bramble]

During the 22 minute mark

so before it hits 23 minutes

starting once it hits 22

[low crane]

ohhhh ok

[hexed bramble]

also it’s the teleporter on stage 3
Robomando will appear stage 4

[low crane]

oh i thought it was 4

cause he spawns on stage 4 in a random spot right

and i have to let hi kill me

him*

[hexed bramble]

yea but entering stage 3 at 22 minutes is what triggers the spawning

on stage 4

[low crane]

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[hexed bramble]

be sure you have the battery too!

[low crane]

thats why i couldnt find him

[shadow mural]

It's not random, he always spawns in one of those hidden crevices that usually requires an invisible ladder.

[low crane]

oh i thought it was random

[gusty wagon]

Why do you have to sacrifice yourself to unlock the sword dude

[hexed summit]

You just have to kill Providence 5 times

[violet socket]

Wrong channel (this is for risk of rain returns, not 2), and I don't think there's any real lore significance? It could also just very well be how mercenary met his end

[gusty wagon]

Sorry

[mild sun]

The sword dude is worth it trust 👌

[gusty wagon]

I already unlocked him

[nocturne tartan]

merc is not worth unlocking tbh

he’s mid (in ror2)

[steep coral]

the only mid part about mercenary in 2 is the skins, he’s a good survivor otherwise

[nocturne tartan]

you have to put in a lot of effort for equivalent output of any low effort high output survivor

he’s basically spiderman in marvel rivals

is flashy, can be good, but you’ll get a lot more value playing any other high tier character

[tender gazelle]

who gaf about value im playing ror2 to have fun

merc just happens to be the most fun guy hopoo have made

[steep coral]

^

[warm hemlock]

You literally just have to go through 2 more stages compared to normal runs to unlock him

[nocturne tartan]

I’d rather keep looping for a god run than end it early for merc lol

[warm hemlock]

What if I actually wanna end the run and get a cool new character instead

I do not see a single reason why you should not unlock merc barring maybe doing some character challenges

[nocturne tartan]

granted, eventually you’d have to unlock him for completion, but I’m doing that on a bad run I’m not enjoying

[warm hemlock]

Like, you can have an infinite amount of god runs, you aint losing out on much by trading away one for merc

[lost ridge]

https://tenor.com/view/wtff-cat-confused-orange-gif-25858653

[nocturne tartan]

I have played merc like max 10 times and had more fun in a single Bandit run than all of his runs combined.

I don’t know, he’s just not for me.

[low crane]

Are there mods for returns?

[lost ridge]

yes

[low crane]

How do i download said mods?

[lost ridge]

same as ror2

https://thunderstore.io/package/ebkr/r2modman/

[low crane]

Thanks

[livid garden]

not necessarily, he's got above average area of effect and good earlygame prowess and his mobility is great

though you're right that he still falls into mid tier pronably

[nocturne tartan]

he’s incredibly mobile, but because he’s so mobile, his damage is lacking to stay balanced. That ends up meaning that he overall doesn’t scale well (in my opinion), and the effort you have to put in to stay on top of things is quite high

[nocturne tartan]

what game engine does returns use?

according to research, it’s game maker 2D. Is that accurate?

[tender gazelle]

game maker studio 2, yes

[nocturne tartan]

ok cool

I didn’t know if “2D” was part of the actual title or just someone saying the game was in 2D lol

[lone niche]

Does anyone know what the hell boar beach is?

Just randomly got transferred there in the middle of a run

[zealous pilot]

On one of the Ancient Valley variants (not sure which number, but its the variant that has the bridge fully in tact) theres a small fence at the very top left corner
If you hold down on it for a few seconds, you'll be taken to Boar Beach, which is a reference to Maple Story (not sure how, never played it) which spawns only Boarlits, Mushrums, Lemurians, Sand Crabs, Tubers and Toxic Beasts
Theres a special Boarlit in there thats holding a unique item that boosts your armour stat slightly, which is pretty neat, but the main plus to Boar Beach (imo) is the fact you can replay Stage 3 if you get it, since when you leave Boar Beach it TPs you back to the start of Stage 3, which quickly results in lots of items and levels

[lone niche]

Yeah, I just ended up there completely randomly

[nocturne tartan]

iirc, you get a reward at the end of boar beach, so it is worth it to go there

[nocturne tartan]

apparently, this is the extent of the reference

oh nvm, there's more (skin spoilers)

[nocturne tartan]

ok, so you do get a reward, but it's so incredibly not worth it lmao.

[lost ridge]

...thats not the only item there

you can farm toxic beasts infinitely

[west peak]

yeah its true value is as an item farm in long runs

[nocturne tartan]

ohh ok

[calm hornet]

Do we have some idea or clue when risk of rain returns will be arriving on xbox and playstation? I've been looking around for news but I'm not finding much

[nocturne tartan]

I don't think plans were made, but I could be wrong

[calm hornet]

I saw at the minimum it was confirmed to be coming just that they were taking they're time so it comes out not buggy but that's it

[zealous pilot]

Pretty sure there was no real confirmation for this, just the Switch port

[calm hornet]

That honestly sucks

I hope it'll come to xbox one day

[north ruin]

genuinely js got rorr after playing a lot of ror2 why is it abysmally hard

[nocturne tartan]

ohh ok

[nocturne tartan]

ah, damn

[nocturne tartan]

ror1/returns is generally balanced to be more difficult

and the fact that the game is 2d also lends itself to being more difficult

[fervent copper]

it's unlikely, given the current state of things (ONE dev working on it). The switch port was only done cause it's easy to port it to switch

[nocturne tartan]

that’s surprising

[fervent copper]

yeah you see it a lot, happened to Hollow Knight for instance

[nocturne tartan]

interesting

[nocturne tartan]

as in for porting specifically?

[fervent copper]

Yes

[nocturne tartan]

ah, ok. That makes sense

also, isn't Team Cherry <5 people?

[fervent copper]

TC is 3 people

iirc, Hollow Knight didn’t do well on its initial release (which was only on Steam), it really blew up only when it got shadow dropped on the Switch

[nocturne tartan]

oh, fascinating

[crisp bough]

Does looping have any achievements tied to it?

[shadow mural]

Not looping in and of itself, as far as I'm aware. There is an achievement for being alive for longer than 40 minutes, however, and you probably won't get that without looping.

[lost ridge]

how fast do you play lolz

all my runs are like 40+ minutes

no looping

[shadow mural]

As a general rule, you're supposed to finish each stage as quickly as possible.

[zealous pilot]

Full looting > speed tbh

Although you can very easily full loot and be quick about it

[lost ridge]

i would rather have items

[shadow mural]

This

From my experience, RoR2 makes you take your time looting before clearing a level, whereas in vanilla RoR/Returns you have to balance collecting items and clearing the stage as fast as you can.

Which is why I prefer Returns over 2. Much more challenging.

[hard oasis]

are there any people doing returns severs anymore i wanna play it with other people

[nocturne tartan]

what do the chimes signify?

it sounds like hot crossed buns, if you know that beginner piano song

[lost ridge]

monsters leveled up

or maybe its tied to the difficulty bar

not sure

[nocturne tartan]

oh, that makes sense

[zealous pilot]

Its the difficulty bar yeag

[wide locust]

Does the drifters salvage interact with the shattered mirror? Which will make it drop 8/12 temp items instead of 4/6. 6 with ancient sceptre. And 12/18 with beating embryo. And 24/36 temp items with substandard duplicator?

[hexed bramble]

Shattered mirror only works on attacks lol

[wide locust]

Ohh. The description doesnt give enough info. It says abilities so i thought salvage had an interaction

[native wing]

That'd be funny

[leaden aurora]

are the alternate conditions for unlocking alternate abilities cumulative

[misty leaf]

yes

its milestsones

[sudden quail]

Should I play the original Risk Of Rain or returns?

[fallow oxide]

Returns is the direct upgrade

[sudden quail]

Got it

Thanks!

[harsh mortar]

if you want the better game, get returns
if you want to see the past of the franchise, get the original

[frozen notch]

ror1 also has way more modding content

a lot of impressive stuff for a decade plus year old game

[shrewd karma]

hey folks, I seem to have encountered what I think is a bug with an unlock

so I did a run to unlock ||the artifact of origin, and at the end I did unlock the artifact, but when I ran into it/picked it up, I was given an acrid skin, and did not get the steam achievement for origin||

the weirdest bit: I have the artifact accessible to play with now, which is good, but the steam achievement didn't unlock and it's not recognised in the challenge menu either

looks to me like somehow the game confused the skin unlock with the artifact unlock?

[boreal ermine]

yeah it's a bug introduced in the update

achievement ids for those unlocks are corrupted

await the next update that will happen never for it to be fixed

[hexed summit]

Swap back to the old version of returns and do it again, that will unlock it proper

You can find out how in the last rorr blogpost on steam

[quartz hinge]

Wich mines of engineer should I use

[wanton wagon]

Bounding

Unless you like playing Zoner around The Turrets

[frozen notch]

bounding is simpler and shockwave u have to babysit a little

[shrewd pier]

How do I get good?

[hexed summit]

Go fast

Have autojump on

Learn stage layouts

Optimize time spent in stages

Use any movement tech your characters might have

[west peak]

pay attention to what enemies or elites kill you the most and prioritise learning what they do

[wanton wagon]

Avoid Using Artifacts that make the game easier (Command, Spirit, Enigma And some I didnt unlock Yet)

[hexed summit]

And learn which ones can jump and climb

[wanton wagon]

I'm finding Shards in the UES Contact Light Stage
What are they For?

(also, I only found two, SO id like some help on where the rest could be)

[wanton wagon]

Nevermind
I found out what they are

[native wing]

Learn attack patterns and map routes, the rest is just looting and finding a character you like to use

[versed plank]

how do i kill provi while backflipping

am i supposed to backflip and immediately fire a shot

[hexed summit]

Thquibs

Get a hardlight, get some thquibs

Turn on 200% damage

[frozen notch]

lost doll deals damage instantly

can go with command and stack a bazillion infusion and whatever else you want for more lost doll damage

[teal cave]

i did the mission to unlock loader and then the steam trophy unlocked but i didnt get him i got acrid in the same run???

i was in multiplayer if that does anything but why would acrid unlock and not loader

[west peak]

some of the achievements give the wrong unlock right now, that might be one of them

[teal cave]

it shown loader same with the acrid one ut adcrid is the only one that unlocked

[lost ridge]

yeahhhh some unlocks are fucked, try switching to the old patch until you get everything

[teal cave]

Rip why’d they have to snuff me from getting my goat

[dapper spear]

hello

[wanton wagon]

Hi!

[teal cave]

How exactly do you do that?

I tried modding my game and it crashes in 30 seconds every time I start it

[nocturne tartan]

uffda

[nocturne tartan]

what mods?

and what device

[sudden quail]

Steam, And I had Starstorm, and UnderYourSkin and their dependencies

[lost ridge]

try removing underyourskin

and are you sure thats all of your mods? if you have rorr_modding_toolkit and none of your mods use it, you can remove that

mods from now on will use returnsapi instead of that

[sudden quail]

Ah ok, I'll try that

I do have Toolkit as well

[hexed bramble]

rorrmoddingtoolkit shouldn’t prevent the game from launching but it is a lot less performant
that’s partially why rapi was made

[wanton wagon]

What does UnderYourSkin do?

[hexed bramble]

ooolld method of creating new skins for survivors, i assume when trying to launch it alongside rapi it breaks

[wanton wagon]

Ah

[hexed bramble]

rapi currently doesn’t support making new skins

[wanton wagon]

Ahh
Alright then

[pliant vortex]

do items despawn after a certain time when opening a chest?

[hexed bramble]

no, they shouldn't

same with temp items

they're only temporary in the sense that they're active in your inventory for a limited amount of time before being removed

[vital egret]

should i hit the tp as soon as i see it or get items first

[hexed bramble]

Full-looting a stage is usually the way to go, but you can continue to loot even after starting tp
Probably advisable to defeat the boss during the event first and foremost but nothing is stopping you from running away, looting the rest of the stage while tp charges, then coming back for the boss (unless it’s something like a vagrant, magma worm or imp lord that’s constantly coming after you)
I’d say yeah it’s best to hit it early, though you should start tp prepared with at least some items and worry about getting the rest later during the event

[vital egret]

ah alright thanks

[hexed summit]

I hit the tp asap

[lost ridge]

Mountain Shrines

Blood Shrines

tried the fabled "You should start the tp soon" tip and immediately met 3 broken blood shrines

never doing that shit again bruh

[wanton wagon]

The Day I found out that Blood Shrines break after tp event, Im Full Looting every Single Time
Exceptions: Bad Items in Clusterhive & Magma Core. There I just Immediately activate tp and Leave

[civic meteor]

So, after 2 hour of tries I completed judgment challenge as robomando, but didn't got the skin, I play on switch, can any one tell me what I did wrong please?

[hexed bramble]

I’m pretty sure the switch version of returns doesn’t have the update where his judgement skin was added (and won’t for a while, unfortunately)

it’s a bit of a meme anyways (||it just changes his lights to be blue lmao||)

[civic meteor]

oh, thats sad, spent so much time for nothing, well hope the update is gonna be realized on switch, thx for the answer

[alpine arrow]

I got rorr today and i was wondering If it also had modding capability like ror2

Or whether it'll be added in future

[zealous pilot]

It does!

Theres a modding server as well as a few dedicated mod servers

[alpine arrow]

Do you have any tutorial or something that can help me?

[zealous pilot]

Its set up a similar way as RoR2 is, and both use Thunderstore, but ill invite u to the modding server in just a minute (since im 90% sure theresba tutorial in there)

[old pewter]

you can use the same mod managers

all 3 work

[alpine arrow]

Alright thanks

[old pewter]

if yer on linux theres a launch option you need too, bur its pretty simple!

[alpine arrow]

I found it on r2 mod man

Are there any specific mods mostly QOL that yall recommend?

[zealous pilot]

Theres a few decent ones that DigBug suggested a bit back, ill forward it to you now

[alpine arrow]

Aight ill wait

[alpine arrow]

Thanks

[zealous pilot]

No problem!

I'm not sure if u can get to the modding server through that forward, but if not ill invite you now

UGGGHHHH

Okay ill dm it to you LOL

Automod hates links

[alpine arrow]

I might have my dms closed lemme add you as a friend

[zealous pilot]

Yeah I was just gonna say LOL

[hexed summit]

In general I only really play with ssr or mods that make the game harder

King of petrichor is a good mod that buffs the prov fight

9th circle of hell is a fun jokey mod to see if you can beat

There’s not much else

Oh

There’s also event horizon if you really hate yourself

[cold bough]

how does it buff it exactly

[hexed summit]

Mainly more of those shadow clones that damage a specific spot

He’s a bit faster too I think

[frozen notch]

some say that "rex returns" is a crucial quality of life mod that is a must-include in any profile

[calm pier]

ror returns is on discount rn

is 35% off the highest its been

[tender gazelle]

yeah

[obsidian lantern]

Heya, I played the game on release and I went back to it yesterday all of my progress has been deleted. I've had the same issue with the first and second games a few years ago and now it's this one.
Does someone know if it's possible to get it back by messaging the support or if not if there's a viable file game editor that doesn't require rewriting the code by hand?

[west peak]

maybe you have cloud saves disabled

[nocturne tartan]

what's the speed reduction for characters that are actively attacking?

[hexed bramble]

?
i’m pretty sure all characters have the same base speed stat except robomando who is intentionally faster

[nocturne tartan]

but like

Huntress, when she fires strafe, she isn't slowed.

when commando fires double tap, he's slowed

how much is commando (and others) slowed by when he fires his pistols

[hexed bramble]

Yes, that is exclusively huntress’ thing

[nocturne tartan]

that's a bummer, but makes sense

[hexed bramble]

Most strafing skills slow you the same amount

[nocturne tartan]

was kinda hoping merc would have that passive, too

[hexed bramble]

Exceptions are CHEF slice and probably something else

[nocturne tartan]

interesting

[hexed bramble]

there are also some skills that just can’t be strafed with

like merc, acrid, and robomando primaries

it really varies depending on how the skill is intended to feel, but usually it’s melees that don’t have strafing

but always remember!
it’s better than ror1 where literally no skills had strafing of any kind (except, still only on huntress)

[nocturne tartan]

yeah lmao

I do indeed remember

[hexed bramble]

ah yeah i remember now it’s han-d’s primary
both chef alt primary and han-d primary make you much slower while strafing

Miner base primary is like the one Melee i can think of that can be strafed with

[violet socket]

I believe its by 60% for the standard strafe speed
For slow strafe speed (which is rarely used), I can't remember but its something like 85%

[nocturne tartan]

oh damn

it makes sense that it’s a big reduction, but I didn’t realize it’d be 40%

[west peak]

another thing that may be relevant is some skills have momentum, such as some primaries moving you forward pixel by pixel with every attack

[icy prairie]

just got back into returns and spent like 2 days beating most of the judgment runs for the providence skins, but found out robomando doesn't have his judgment skin available yet on the switch, Is there any news of gearbox/hopoo working on the 1.1 update for the switch or consles in general?

[zealous pilot]

Probably not unfortunately :/ no news to speak of and it's unlikely we'll ever hear about switch stuff anytime soon anyway

[nocturne star]

Is crossplay coming?

[hexed gorge]

no

[pearl pendant]

can somebody help me with online connection. just got the game for a friend and i. the game keeps timing us out. every other online game works fine

[cinder phoenix]

witch dlc should i start with?

ive never goten any dlc before?

[hexed bramble]

wrong channel to ask
but prolly like most people here i’ve only really ever experienced them in chronological order of when they released, but i’d say survivors of the void is a good starting point and gives you a good idea of what to expect of the other dlcs in terms of content
alloyed collective is probably the biggest one so far

[lost ridge]

sotv has like 40 items

and more enemies

however it does win in the boss department

and i guess skins are a thing too but meh

[hexed bramble]

i mean a lot of those are a new tier of item that i think is pretty understandable no?
otherwise you might be right and my second pick to start ig would be sots since it’s smaller

[warm hemlock]

Void items make up for around 13 of them so that's still around 27 non voids

[median grove]

I love risk of rain one do I get returns?

Currently I can’t but when it comes out on consoles do yall recommend?

[boreal ermine]

likely never coming to consoles

[median grove]

Oh damn

[frosty iron]

i’m trying to get artificer, i have all the lunar coins i need but i cant interact with the crystal to by it. does anyone know how to fix it?

[shadow mural]

Wrong channel

[ashen rune]

there should be pictures of tier lists of the characters but whatever, is operator good? is the last dlc good?

[wanton wagon]

Wrong Chat

This is For Returns

[bleak fjord]

Hey guys, need some help finishing my logbook for the plat. Some of this stuff is nowhere to be found on YT. DM me if you can help. Appreciate it!

[lost ridge]

are you talking about ror2 or rorr

fyi you are in the returns channel

[bleak fjord]

ror2

[wanton wagon]

Wrong Channel OG

[dusk copper]

I want to ask about online multiplayer for RoR (2013), but I don't know where to ask.
If you know of any good channels, please let me know.

[lost ridge]

closest youll get is these ones

#risk-of-rain-returns and #game-questions-returns

[dusk copper]

thankyou

[violet socket]

What's the question? If it's about how to start it, then you have to use third-party stuff or port forwarding

Personally I use radmin if you want to research that

[dusk copper]

I'm really a beginner and don't know much about this, but do you have any recommendations? Also, do both players need to have it? I'm not quite sure how it works.

[dusk copper]

thankyou！！

Oh, and I couldn't enter numbers in the IP field for the host game. Was this because the port forwarding didn't work properly?

[violet socket]

I haven't really done port forwarding so I'm not sure, this is an issue in the base game though

[dusk copper]

When I clicked the IP field to make it visible, something like ‘scape a chaotic alien...’ popped up. Ever had that happen?

[violet socket]

Yeah, not sure what causes it. It's the Steam description for the game though

[dusk copper]

Ah, why is the description text in the IP field?!
Is it because of the Japanese patch?
I don't understand anything, but I'll try deleting the patch for now and look up how to use Radmin.
If I get stuck again, I might come back here to ask.
Thanks again and again!

[ripe trout]

Hi
The chef oil+burn attack is really op but its also putting my computer on its knees. Like, i'm waiting several minutes after throwing the attack. Is there anyway to stopthat please?
Thank you

[west peak]

it's a bug, it should only be exploding once but it happens like every frame. it's known so the next update will fix it (whenever that is) and also there's a mod on thunderstore that has a fix for it

[ripe trout]

Which mod pls?

[raven phoenix]

Y'all, I just want to ask things in general, is ror returns is as grindy as ror2 as in unlocking all characters, character abilities, and items

[wanton wagon]

Characters - No
Abilities - Ish. Ability unlocks usually comes with two methods, so either cry in Providence Trials or grind in main game
Item - No
Logbooks - Yes. Probably the most grindy component

[hexed summit]

Also artifacts are much easier to get in returns

Ror2 is slamming your head against the wall for a bunch of runs going to the same place

[violet socket]

I would say ror2 is much grindier in terms of logbooks, because of final bosses and radio scanners, and also overloading worm log is a bit of a problem too
I have never gotten voidling log and never will. Also still waiting for abyssal depths scanner to appear
I'm assuming you're mainly referring to environment logs, but at least a god run can get you plenty of them, the only logs I'd consider problems is final boss and a couple of ancient valley ones
Even assuming only base game ror2, scanners just never appear after you get most of them

[old pewter]

getting every stage variant logbook can be a pain, but otherwise i agree

[raven phoenix]

Sorry for the late reply, thanks btw, yeah I kinda new to ror returns, and province trial is hard as heck after a while

[plucky vessel]

I went to the lava level and saw a stack of three boulders with a price on it as if it were a chest. Never seen it before and I died before I could interact with it. Anyone know what it was? I can't find info on it online

[boreal ermine]

it's a chance shrine but worse because it's expensive as shit

[lilac ingot]

Ror or rorr

[lost ridge]

rorr is ror but like. better

its like triple the quality and triple the amount of content

[obsidian sage]

and rorr is triple the 🤑

[lost ridge]

no

[frozen notch]

for what its worth ror1 has way more mods owing to it being out for a significantly longer time so you can find way more quirk chungus modded survivors and content to mess around with

rorr has better controls (mouse aim, strafing, etc) and slightly improves on the design but in terms of super mega replayablity the pool is a little shallow but it comes w time

[obsidian sage]

yes it is

[lost ridge]

ror1 is 9.99€
rorr is 14.99€

[hexed bramble]

10*3 ≠ 15 bro

[obsidian sage]

well it is in where i live

they forgor to put regional prises

[hexed bramble]

oh that’s fucked

sorry

[distant dock]

hello everyone, after getting the "gold time" on the final trial (~11:00) and being absolutely gutted that there is no reward i am about a hundred runs into getting the real gold medal. lord have mercy
trying to optimise the build, it's very clear that ||attack speed and crit are crucial on every character since scythe is the only healing for the boss||.
so, i've been looking at what is the best way to ||ramp up attack speed via predatory instincts|| and trying to understand the mechanics better.
particularly: which items, abilities and effects can and cannot crit? for example: if the bleed from rusty knife can crit, then it might be better than the syringe ||as it could yield more scythe procs||. or for enforcer in particular, if the hyper threader can crit it might be better than wicked ring for the same reason, since crowd control is a significantly slower attack and ||providence cannot be stunned anyway||
is all information on the wiki.gg correct and up to date? are there any extensive theorycrafting sources (spreadsheets, essays, game code dumps, ...) around?
thanks in advance

[boreal ermine]

the game's code is accessible via decompilation

[fair minnow]

I’ve been wanting to play risk of rain with my PlayStation friend is there any possibility of cross play coming?

[young arrow]

for risk of rain returns?

also no, crossplay is unlikely to occur

(if it happens you will likely be waiting for years)

[white parcel]

is it better to start with risk of rain from 2013 or returns is a better starting point? (i wanna in near feature try 2D version of this incredible game)

[young arrow]

Returns is a better start

The og version has more mods though

[lost ridge]

returns is simply ror1 but better

in like every way

except modding i guess but ssr exists too

[narrow rapids]

Depends if you want to start at the beginning for some reason.

Not sure where you sre playing, but on Switch, if you buy the physical copy of RoR2 you get the original included.

Sadly that version of RoR2 doesn’t have any DLCs included though.

But Returns is a better game. You can basically set all the setting back to what the original was if you wanted too.

Returns is up there as one of the best remakes ever (along side Halo 2 Anniversary). Faithful to the original while adding new content. Also at least on Switch it increased the multiplayer player count (if I am not mistaken, but pretty sure the original only had 2 player and now Returns has 4 player co op)

[bold spindle]

yo i just got all 3 dlcs and heard they have final bosses how do i reach them? ik one of them is by taking the green portals and the normal one is going full on teleporters but wht abt the rest

[lost ridge]

wrong channel

[iron dome]

i got sum bug on local-coop

every time we got to third stage there re like multiple layers of map stacked on each other

it looks like its copied, moved and pasted

its actually annoying cuz ur unable to see platforms or like... anything properly

has anybody else encounter that bug? are there any mods or solutions to tha?

[lost ridge]

the fuck

[wanton wagon]

Fuck the?

[formal rose]

anybody knows what that blue thing is that can spawn on different maps and cost hp?

[lost ridge]

jellyfish drone?

[formal rose]

ahhh i see i see

google and gpt didnt helped me at all

[lost ridge]

chatgpt will never help you in games lol

[zealous pilot]

GPT... ...

[formal rose]

😔 well thats true i really was just curious of finding out what it was

[lost ridge]

was gonna tell you to use the wiki but it seems the drone isnt on the wiki yet

[inner sedge]

Gpt does all my bio stats hw but besides that it’s terrible

[old pewter]

you should try doing your education yourself

[light rain]

check my bio 😁

[wise remnant]

There is nothing in it.

[smoky lintel]

guys, ihave a smaaaaaaaaaaaall little question, do you guys know how to unloc the regenerating scrap?

[lost ridge]

wrong channel

also its not an unlock its from dlc1

[molten socket]

whats the best healing item in this game

/defensive

[tribal sleet]

Imo its a 3-way tie between prophets cape, guardians heart and infusion

[boreal ermine]

well respectively they fall into

• cape: cracked lengthy iframes on cooldown
• heart: gates damage, recharges quicker than cape, but only protects against one hit
• infusion: long-term practically infinite growth, stacks the best of the three

so since you can't really control what you get, take whichever you find and play into its strengths

[tribal sleet]

And if you get all 3 you won the run

[molten socket]

awesome

thank you

[molten socket]

I wasn’t really good at monsoon in ror2 either what are some tips? Like how long should I spend per stage?

[boreal ermine]

id say a more useful metric is "how many items am i getting over time?"

if you're finding many useful items to keep up with the difficulty within a short time, that buys you time

if you're overcommiting to a shrine that's given you nothing for several uses, that's bad

on average you would try to just get stronger as fast as reasonably possible

[molten socket]

gotcha

[sweet spindle]

what do the button things in magma barracks do
