[wispy hinge]

My previous run i couldn't even get the crit for it i kept getting greens

So i had 10 quails

[trail kite]

didnt matter how long it tanked cause i delivered all the blows in a super short time cause of the mags

[lavish jacinth]

you don't need crit? just backstab stuff

[wispy hinge]

O

Forgot bout his passive

[unborn inlet]

Additionally, although I'm not sure how helpful it might be, the DLC 2 item Noxious Thorn transfers a third of debuffs to a new enemy.

So if something dies to hemorraghe you can potentially save it and just stack to the new enemy it transfers to.

[wispy hinge]

I found a alloy worship but it didnt live long enough

[lavish jacinth]

was it actual AWU or just a normal solus unit?

[wispy hinge]

Idk

[lavish jacinth]

AWU is the secret boss on siren's call

I kinda doubt you'd kill it accidentally, unless you're looping and have a ton of damage

[wispy hinge]

Not the secret one then

[lavish jacinth]

ah

yeah that's the one I was referring to

[steady stone]

solus vs alloy

[lavish jacinth]

the regular ones die like any other boss but AWU is absurdly tanky

[wispy hinge]

I see

[steady stone]

But yeah, AwU doesn't naturally spawn. You gotta ||break all of the egg nests on Siren's Call||

There's a message in chat when you're 1 away, and one when it spawns

[wispy hinge]

I got to 19 stack then the enemy died

[steady stone]

That's always a big problem yeah
is good to stack as much as possible if you have the coins. You can go stage 3 > newt > buy a purity and probably get the Lunar Seer to go to Siren's Call

[wispy hinge]

Now i died

Cus of the stupid mushrooms

[steady stone]

"Probably" because there's 3 stages, 2 options for seers, and it might get replaced with Gilded Coast

[wispy hinge]

I dont have purity yet

[steady stone]

Ah, unfortunate

beating the game on monsoon iirc, so might be a bit difficult for an early unlock

[lavish jacinth]

lights out still helps though

[pulsar pond]

Are the log book entries for Golden Dieback and Disturbed Impact obtainable after the most recent update?

[unborn inlet]

If it helps, the upgrade you get from Bandit's M2 isn't amazing, so if you wanna wait you're not missing out on much, but if you're a big Bandit fan then good luck, because yeah getting that achievement is tricky.

[lavish jacinth]

I think people tend to overcomplicate it

like it's basically just 'find a tanky enemy and backstab them a bunch with the knife'

[unkempt ocean]

Ngl I just got a billion backup mags with artifact of command and just started stabbing a tanky boss and also just spammed the button as quickly as possible to get more stacks off

[unborn ore]

If i have tht tank for Rex, is it guaranteed that i get the right Stage 4 or do i have to go to the Bazaar and buy the guarantee?

[mellow crystal]

You have to go bazaar to guarantee it

[unborn ore]

Aye, thank you

[bleak rain]

chat if im in multiplayer and another player has halycon seed and we defeat false son do i unlock it

[fresh umbra]

Did someone say

[unborn marten]

does false son actually scale with infusions? given the fact i have 19 bison steak and 24 lunar spikes, and i seem to be getting at least one new charge per bison steak...

[lavish jacinth]

yeah, he scales with any bonus hp he gets, but it takes more and more hp to have an effect with each stock

[unborn marten]

well shit. I'm gonna need another loop to get this fucker up to 40 shards, huh?

this seems like a somewhat ridiculous unlock condition but idk

[lavish jacinth]

is your friend

[unborn marten]

ahhhh wait no you're right

[lavish jacinth]

or anything else that increases health by a %

[unborn marten]

and after I just turned all my blue items into gestures...

[unborn marten]

does anything else like that exist? I can't think of anything

would the beetle count? another blue item ig but still

[lavish jacinth]

pearls and growth nectar

DON'T take transcendence though

shield doesn't count towards growth

and it'll leave you at 1hp

[unborn marten]

growth nectar is the red that goes off of buff count, right?

[unborn marten]

ahhhh yeah I feared as much

[lavish jacinth]

although you've got command so you won't be able to get pearls

[unborn marten]

I'll just try to get another blue portal and load up on

[lavish jacinth]

oh yeah, tonic also gives +50%, I knew I was forgetting one

[unborn marten]

didn't think a temporary buff would count for this for some reason. hell yeah

[lavish jacinth]

the other benefit of %health buffs is that they'll multiply each other and they'll benefit from levels, even though level health doesn't count directly

[unborn marten]

Yeah that seems. more reasonable than stacking 10 billion bison steak

[ornate gust]

Did they mention about adding the achievements to steam related to the new alt skills of the survivors?

[lavish jacinth]

not that I'm aware of

[ornate gust]

I see

Well I hope they do, since its missing rn

[tranquil ice]

what are priority items for mercenary?

[lavish jacinth]

is a pretty easy one, apart from that you can pretty much build him like a proc character, so go for on-hit effects

[tranquil ice]

alr

[lavish jacinth]

Afterburner is a really nice find on him too (ignore the burger, it's the only emote we have)

[tranquil ice]

whats the best build for him

like the skills?

[lavish jacinth]

honestly anything, his skills are pretty well balanced and he has no bad loadouts

[tranquil ice]

oh alr

[lavish jacinth]

so just try them and use whatever you like

[tranquil ice]

alr

[winter elk]

Why’s seekers second utility so hard to control

[zinc spade]

May I ask if there will be any balance adjustments before the official DLC is released

Will false offspring weaken in the future？

[steady stone]

based off of #announcements message
i would assume they're done, but there might be more
the last phase doesn't necessarily mean they couldnt push a patch if they wanted

generally they already got reworked and balanced though

[wispy hinge]

Is preon accumulater good

[lavish jacinth]

eh

it's a powerful effect but reeeeally not worth that cooldown

it's not awful but there are definitely better uses for your equipment slot. It can sometimes be cool to have one on an equipment drone though

[fallen bridge]

preon can be silly at times

[river lodge]

is there any easy way to get environment logs

ive just been looping with command/sacrifice/swarms for ages now

[snow carbon]

how many times should I loop as commander in multiplayer wth 1 friend
? in order to beat the game

[mellow crystal]

As many as you think is necessary

[pulsar pond]

That’s what I’ve been doing to get environment logs. I haven’t been able to even get Disturbed Impact as a stage since the newest update nor have I been able to get the golden dieback log despite reaching that stage like 15 times

[mellow crystal]

Looping isn't required at all to beat the game unless you plan to obliterate

[river lodge]

waaaaait a minute im stuck on the same 2

this better not be some bug

[mellow crystal]

Disturbed impact is bugged to never have radio scanners

[snow carbon]

so with 1 loop its enough?

[river lodge]

for how long

[mellow crystal]

0 loops is enough too but is probably tougher if you don't full loot efficiently

[pulsar pond]

I read that the stage just had some overlap with titanic plains but wasn’t sure if that was patched since the survivors update

[mellow crystal]

Since disturbed impact was added I think?
Not sure about that

[river lodge]

gotcha... so its save editor time...

[pulsar pond]

Have you been able to even reach disturbed impact during your loops?

[river lodge]

i have yeah

[pulsar pond]

Ok I guess I just have the worst luck with that

[river lodge]

it feels rarer but it probably isnt

make sure to grab the newt altar on stage 5 to get 2 more chances at disturbed impact from the dream portals

but well its bugged anyway so wait until they fix it if they even do

[pulsar pond]

That’s what I do, and almost always end up with TP or DR

But I haven’t been able to find anyone who can confirm whether it’s still bugged

There is a method to obtain the log despite the bug: play with another player who has neither the Titanic Plains or Disturbed Impact log

[runic seal]

can you use captain's beacon thingys to use the pressure plats on abandoned aqueduct

[river lodge]

yes

[winter elk]

Why is seekers second alt ability so hard to control

[hoary sedge]

to make it feel different from sojourn probably

[analog brook]

Because it's really really powerful

[lyric pasture]

what would you guys say is the best chef loadout?

[hoary sedge]

anything with yes chef is gonna be pretty good

I have the most fun with sear and oil spill but realistically icebox and roll is probably stronger

[agile river]

i keep getting this message whenever i try to join my friend (we only have QoL mods installed) how do i fix this we both have cross-play disabled

[ruby sonnet]

Tried yesterday, and oh boy

This wasn't even the end of the run, I had 80+ atp

[ruby sonnet]

Yes, albeit it seems like the least common 1st stage

I've somehow gotten it Stage 1 (no loops) once, but after that, only with looping

[ruby sonnet]

I think so, yeah -- I have that exact loadout

[opaque gate]

can someone tell me what am I meant to do when grandparent raises its hands and I start burning? get out of sight?

[mellow crystal]

Get behind cover yea

[opaque gate]

goddamn it I died to it second time in a row lol

[mellow crystal]

Also works with wandering vagrant explosion

[opaque gate]

that I knew
this I didnt

[pulsar pond]

It’s so rare I haven’t ever gotten it on the dream portal or randomly in 3 games of 20+ stages played each. Did you get the log for it though during your loops?

[mental oar]

could someone explain what expose does? cant seem to find it on the character description

[lyric pasture]

hitting an exposed enemy makes the attack do an additional 350% more and reduces skill cd by 1s

[ruby sonnet]

Nope, and I literally had 80 clovers yesterday

Only logs I got were Void Jailer and the swamp stage; although I didn’t even get Abandoned Aqueduct’s or Abyssal Depths’s

[mental oar]

thanks!

[lucid star]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1209857450338033725/1373332455288737922/me_when_i_speedrun_but_it_wont_let_me_send.gif

is this good for first speedrun

[golden hound]

plasma shrimp or atg on mul-t double buzzsaw

[hasty tinsel]

Imo, atg. You're probably gonna get hit relatively often with buzzsaw so shield will likely be down in longer fights.

[pure stream]

do void chests still spawn with artifact of sacrifice or

[peak scaffold]

whats the best beacons for captain?

[honest badger]

yes

[honest badger]

shrimp is better unless you have clover

[left trellis]

all of them are good, it just depends on what you want to build for

[small pike]

i don't know if this is the right place to be asking this, but would anyone happen to have an idea why the achievement "The Lone Survivor" wouldn't be unlocking on steam?

i've had multiple thirty minute runs

[left trellis]

has the achievement unlocked in-game?

[small pike]

i don't think it has

[left trellis]

not sure then. I guess just go longer?

the wiki says you can cheese it by clearing the first stage's TP event and then just going AFK for 30 minutes, you could try that and just leave it on overnight or something

[small pike]

tried that all the way up to fourty minutes already - might try leaving it on for a bit longer then, thanks. would this be a problem worthy of a bug report?

[hasty tinsel]

Bit of a longshot, but is epic crossplay on? That shit causes tons of issues all the time.

Also, any mods on?

[left trellis]

it would be weird if that caused it

[small pike]

no mods, no crossplay

[hasty tinsel]

Try verifying files then maybe, or a reinstall?
But yeah bug report seems a good idea.

Do double-check what the conditions for the unlock is though, just in case.

Can't check myself rn, not at pc.

[small pike]

it says that you need to stay alive for 30 consecutive minutes, seems pretty straightforward

[hasty tinsel]

Nothing else? Not specifying character?

[small pike]

nope

[hasty tinsel]

What character are you doing this with anyways?

If it's a dlc one that may be a cause of the bug, an oversight.

[small pike]

just commando

the first one that you start out with

verified game files and i'm giving it another shot now

[hasty tinsel]

Weird...

Maybe it was changed so you actually have to do more than wait in the first stage? Hard to know for sure, maybe just do runs like normal and you'll get there organically.

[small pike]

i've had a few runs that exceeded the thirty minutes where i just continued normally

[hasty tinsel]

Definitely bug then.

[peak jacinth]

atp just use RealerCheatUnlocks and get dios cuz that’s clearly a bug

[small pike]

might do that then - thanks

[lyric pasture]

What’s better on chef flame thrower or ice cubes?

[humble roost]

what stage is the oblisque at?

[stuck sorrel]

Does anyone know of any channels that does false son path boss fights?

[hasty tinsel]

Do you mean you need tips or?

[stuck sorrel]

Tips of just gameplay to learn from.

[hasty tinsel]

Reason I'm asking is that there isn't reqlly much to focus on there, just keep moving and avoid the lightning strikes for the path up, and keep away from false son during the fight.

[jade oasis]

is stone flux pauldrun worth it for false son in regular runs aswell? I get health is REALLY good on him.. but like...

[brittle shuttle]

its usually good for one stack but thats about it

unless you have REALLY good movespeed dont go for more

not worth it

[jade oasis]

I seee

alright, ill try it out

[sharp cypress]

are we allowed to use mods in the game?

[brittle shuttle]

no mr hopoo will come hunt you down himself

(yes why wouldnt you)

[small pike]

verifying the game files did it - i guess i had something fucked up in my install, thanks again

[mellow crystal]

Yes

[cerulean otter]

And it doesn’t interfere with obtaining achievements too

[hasty tinsel]

There's no anticheat system around, if that's what you mean, mods are fine and to some degree even encouraged.

[hasty tinsel]

Glad to hear it, happy surviving further!

[cerulean otter]

I love the “always running” mod. I forget the actual name though lol

[hoary hare]

So Ive played a good bit of the base game in my cousin's account before, but I finally got the game after about a year of not playing (with both dlcs) and I'm struggling to understand this new character? I know how railgunner works, but it's this dlc character looks like a monk

A lot of the abilities seem like you just nearly kill your self and that doesn't seem like a great idea

[peak scaffold]

am i ready for the moon?

[peak jacinth]

every 3 stages after a loop. So 8, 13, 18 etc.

[left trellis]

I assume you're talking about Seeker ? How are you playing her, exactly?

all she really needs to do is use her special every once in a while to gain stats and kill stuff normally with the rest of her abilities

her Utility does damage to her, but you can cancel it at any time so you don't drain all of your health

[hoary hare]

I haven't tried her yet I just read the ability descriptions

[slim spoke]

that is the seeker
basically, your medic

seriously, she WILL be your medic

[hasty tinsel]

She is also just very capable of self-sustain in general.

[slim spoke]

her secondary heals on hit, goes vertically, and is the primary way to kill bugs from far away - alt 2nd orbits around you and gives barrier on hit, dissipate after a few hits
utility DOES hurt her, but rather insubstantially, and it deals more damage the longer you're in it (this is new btw) - havent got to alt util yet
special now is a revive machine bcuz gbx hasnt limited her reviving capabilities YET

[hasty tinsel]

Also do not forget to meditate, not only does it give you stat boosts but on reaching max stacks you get a self-revive for the duration of the stage.

[slim spoke]

oh and special gives extra buffs for your other skills too

[hasty tinsel]

And also is a very strong self heal, gives you some barrier on activation but won't make you immortal or anything.

[slim spoke]

so yea, ^^^
what i and draco said summarized how seeker's skill works (bar from her primary ofc)

is that clear enough, @hoary hare

[hasty tinsel]

But yeahher standard util does suffer a little bit, it is better with her alt m2 so you can get barrier mid-flight tho.

[slim spoke]

i ❤️ 1211

[hasty tinsel]

Still gotta get around to unlocking her alt util, only thing left to get on her for me.

[slim spoke]

i havent touched the new alts yet

[topaz berry]

if i give me doll thing (on kill effects spam eq) to an equipment dronee is it intentional that it doeant work anymore

[hasty tinsel]

Itworks off its carriers items iirc, and since the drone only has the doll, well...

[topaz berry]

thats stupid

makes sense but thats stupid

[hasty tinsel]

It's that or it becomes hilariously OP in multiplayer by proccing everyone's on-kills constantly.

[topaz berry]

ah

good point

not to self: equipment drones suck unless they have radio

[daring cloak]

Absolutely not

Equipment drones are awesome

Since their cooldown is only a fifth of yours

They enable almost permanent activation of equipments such as:

And even others which wont be near permanently active its still really nice

[rapid schooner]

does brilliant behemoth add a second instance of damage? or is the bonus damage added to the attack?

[daring cloak]

Its a second instance of damage

[rapid schooner]

okay thanks'

[slim spoke]

note: do not ever use glowing meteorite

[honest badger]

it doesn't proc though

[daring cloak]

Nahhh meteorite is fine

If youre willing to deal with that extra challenge that persists for as long as the drone can keep itself from killing itself

[slim spoke]

have fun killing your teammates for the nth time in a row

[daring cloak]

But I have had generally positive experiences with meteorite drones

Its very good at dealing with smaller enemies that are spread throughout the stage

[hoary sedge]

equip drones with are funny too

[hasty tinsel]

Equipment drones are fantastic, you just have to keep in mind that they won't have any items of their own, aside from stuff like the extra weapons from spare parts.
Still a bunch of stuff that is quite useful on them.

Hell, drones in general might get some tweaks with the alloyed collective dlc, what with it coming with so many new types.

Probably stuff like actually trying to stay out of void fog and black holes, I imagine.

[lyric pasture]

what is the best chef loadout

[hasty tinsel]

Frankly, 1111 is perhaps the strongest imo. All of them are good tho.

[lyric pasture]

what would be the strongest build in the game? probably using command

[dusky raven]

They are all good so just play around till you find which is the most fun

[golden hound]

double buzzsaw mul-t trust

[lavish jacinth]

That's kinda impossible to answer since you can just keep looping and adding more items

Ig the answer would be "every item in the game"

[lyric pasture]

true but im trying to see what the best thing to focus on without having to loop too much

best build ive found so far is flame build on chef but i have yet to test drones out

[lavish jacinth]

In that case probably proc chaining and/or infinite tonic

[slim spoke]

heretic with more than 2 braincells

[lavish jacinth]

Or , that's basically an autowin right there

[jade oasis]

honestly donteven need the cores, just spare parts and a single health drone iwll win u the game

[hoary sedge]

and chronic expansion is also really strong

[hoary hare]

Yes sorry I was doing stuff

[honest badger]

13,944,699x of all possible tiered items

[slim spoke]

nuh uh
here comes THE PIZZA CUTTER

[jade oasis]

uhm, what about 13,944,700x of all possible tiered items?

[slim spoke]

np np
take your time

[honest badger]

integer overflow so, not very good

[jade oasis]

:(

[strange nexus]

Anyone got the proc for the new abilities?

[peak jacinth]

if you want one that makes you unkillable:

[hasty tinsel]

Frankly, just run without command and feel it out in terms of items.

Less stressful too imo since you don't need to constantly decide what item to get, oftentimes mid-battle later in a run.

[restive slate]

if the turrets copy the guys items does soilder syringe make them shoot faster

[solemn wind]

Yes

[lyric pasture]

do any yellows benefit chef / flame builds more than others?

[lavish jacinth]

if you wanna stick to the fire theme

[fresh umbra]

REAL

[restive slate]

whats the most effective way to unlock spider mines on engineer, i would think its putting the mines down and hoping the boss spawns on top but it never works

[livid wedge]

Tricorn, probably

[high forum]

Tricorn, and probably on a second loop

[restive slate]

i dont have dlc

[weary cloud]

does attack speed (syringes and stuff) increase loader punchc hrge speed?

[daring cloak]

Yes

[weary cloud]

is it enough to warrant keeping over scrapping?

ill js keep them actually ty

[high forum]

a second loop will probably be necessary then!

anything you can do to put stacks of burn or bleed to do passive damage while you're shooting the boss will be ideal.

[daring cloak]

Royal capacitor works amazing too

Being able to snipe the boss for 4000% damage within seconds can make it fairly easy to oneshot bosses with the right items

[high forum]

royal capacitor + gesture + energy cells

its free real estate

[mighty heron]

hello friends, what is the monster logbook between Solus control unit and grovetender its the last one i need

[livid wedge]

Ally Worship Unit, I believe

The special boss of sirens call

[pulsar creek]

Any tips on how to beat false son with mercenary? Each time i tried he gets me easily with one/two tap

[misty drum]

so does rex actually suck or is he just weird and hard to play

[torn lantern]

More speed?

[solemn wind]

He's just weird and hard to play

But to an extent where there isn't really a difference

Like, he's really good once you manage to train up to his skill floor, but with that much training you can get arti or the void fiend to be a god

[misty drum]

hmm i see

i just know him and commando are usually the butt of jokes about being the worst survivors in the game lol

[restive slate]

using jade elephant is it possible to go below 100% hp

[lavish jacinth]

wdym

[analog brook]

Does anyone have a screenshot of REX's hurtbox?

[steady stone]

I can see if Debug has a command to toggle boxes rq.

[restive slate]

yk the huntress quest to not go below 100% during stage 3

[lavish jacinth]

dbtk doesn't have that, you need hitboxviewer

[steady stone]

on thunderstore?

[lavish jacinth]

yea

[lavish jacinth]

oh that
nah, elephant is just damage resistance, you still take some damage.
Barrier works though, because it lets you go above 100% hp, so get some . Can also use shaped glass/artifact of glass

or just loop until you're overpowered enough to do it without even trying, because it doesn't have to be stage 3 specifically, just those maps

[steady stone]

err, are you sure actually? it seems to just be attacks

[lavish jacinth]

abuse the iframes on your dash and evis if (you're using it) and try to stay behind him. Normally you wanna be aggressive with merc but with false son it's best to always be cautious

[lavish jacinth]

it has a setting for hurtboxes, you might need to change it in the config

or if you have risk of options you can do it ingame I think

[steady stone]

yeah, i see this it's just a tad confusing

ah, found one

[hardy aurora]

is it normal in a run i get one red item from a big chest and ANOTHER red item from a NORMAL chest?

[lavish jacinth]

make sure it's actually enabled too lol

[lavish jacinth]

yeah that's normal, just lucky

[hardy aurora]

oh wow

[steady stone]

yeah that's the one i just found

[lavish jacinth]

small chests have a 1% chance for a red

[hardy aurora]

im very lucky

thanks 😄

[steady stone]

@analog brook

[full apex]

I think it has one for collision hulls too

[lavish jacinth]

yeah

[full apex]

Having both on at the same time looks a bit silly lol

I like that mod tho. Sometimes just kinda playing with hitboxes on is fun

Helps more intimately learn enemy attacks too

[analog brook]

Holy mother of FUCK I knew something was up

[fervent monolith]

What is alloyed collective

[pulsar creek]

New dlc that’s been announced

[analog brook]

Grovetender asks if their hitbox shrinks when they sprint but I'm assuming it's too late to ask

[steady stone]

im building a home in skyrim rn, but ill @ you later if i test it

[analog brook]

Aight, thanks oomfie! ❤️

[steady stone]

err, actually i could just boot it rq, it isn't that heavy

[steady stone]

wtf, is this like new with sots?

there's no way it's been like this

[lavish jacinth]

pretty sure it always did that

[steady stone]

strange i guess
still not as bad as the Sear hitbox

LOOK at this, how is it normal

[lavish jacinth]

I mean, it's basically the same as flamethrower's hitbox, just bigger

it's just the visual that's too small

[full apex]

rex hitbox never changed when sprinting

was one of the first things we tried testing day 1 before i had hitbox mods haha, cause it would have been cool

altho idk if smol hitbbox while grounded would be interesting or annoying to choose between that and using util to fly

[lavish jacinth]

If you wanna talk about bad hurtboxes, you could do a whole lot worse than rex

[steady stone]

acrid's head has tracking too on that box

[rocky radish]

i mean at least acrid's hitbox is barely disjointed

[lavish jacinth]

I think all the survivors have head hitboxes, rex just doesn't have a head

[full apex]

tbh player hurtboxes arent that big of a deal usually, since you wont be scrutinizing things that tightly on urself and enemies arent using visuals to aim at all

[analog brook]

LMAO

Expected.

[full apex]

but if youve got really off stuff it can be funny

[steady stone]

i mean the other ones dont seem to change either

running as huntress like, puts her entire visual ahead of her box

or at least her top half

[analog brook]

Yeah it definitely feels overextended a little under the normal POV but from unnatural pov it does seem absurd

[analog brook]

This reminds me of something........

But tbh that kinda feels fair since acrid kinda wraps around that point

[lavish jacinth]

Actually, I think Acrid's hurtbox might've changed at some point... I could've sworn it used to be centered on his hips, which meant it actually extended behind him when he was sprinting

[analog brook]

REX's one is just entirely floating around him

Makes lasers such a pain in the ass

[lavish jacinth]

mul-t's is weirdly off-center

[steady stone]

they didnt give false son a head box lol

they did for seeker so idk why they wouldnt other than picking favorites

[honest badger]

the game takes hurtboxes as a suggestion anyway

nothing is precise enough for it to rly matter

[lavish jacinth]

wait hang on, rex DOES have a head hurtbox, it's just inside the normal one?

[lavish jacinth]

his hitbox is a cucumber

[agile crystal]

what even are head hurtboxes?

[lavish jacinth]

also it's actually smaller than his collision box which is needlessly big? explains why he barely fits in the cave on depths

[lavish jacinth]

I think it's essentially just an extension of the main hitbox, it's probably there to help keep the hitbox a little more accurate for survivors that lean forward when running or whatever

[full apex]

i dont remember seeing those on like mando..

is it new? or like hidden usually?

are railgunner weak points shown as separate bubbles now or smth maybe or is that nonsense

i dont rember how those are stored at all lol

[bitter ore]

can the loader pylon skip phase 4 mithrix?

[lavish jacinth]

technically yes, theoretically any damage can, you just need to damage him enough on the single frame where he's vulnerable at the start of the phase

kjaro's band does it most consistently because its hitbox checks for a target on every frame, but that's a unique thing to kjaros

[full apex]

kjaros and mult saw are the ones off the top of my head, anything else would take too much precision to be consistent

if you have enough different damage sources like when looping, it isnt uncommon to luck into it

[hoary hare]

how do i go about getting the 500k% dmg on seeker?

[lavish jacinth]

wait, does saw also do the per-frame check thing? or does it just tick fast enough that you have decent odds of hitting the window

[mellow crystal]

Stack a bunch of and , helps too
and are your priority for damage items to speed it up, doesn't count towards it tho
helps a lot for surviving sojourn longer since the self-damage is based on max HP
Aaaand you ideally wanna hit multiple enemies at the same time since it adds up the damage

[full apex]

nope saw is also a permanent box that applies a CD when it hits something so it can frame1 pretty easily

you can stagger him out of the succ sometimes too even if you dont kill lol

[lavish jacinth]

huh, interesting

aaactually, does merc's primary also work? Since it's also an active hitbox afaik

or would it be treated differently since it can only hit a target once per swing

[full apex]

im.. not sure

thats a really interesting idea

being able to time an interrupt on merc would be very funny

[hoary hare]

does psg count?

i have oevr 2k hp form infusino atm and i have around 20 crowbars

about to start stacking the watches

[mellow crystal]

It does give you more time in sojourn since the self-damage targets shield, while shield doesn't actually count as max HP for increasing sojourn's self damage, hence why transcendence is good

[hoary hare]

ah ok so its just max hp and dmg that i wanna stack after i stack tougher times

got it

done thank you so much

[storm bone]

Does anyone know why when im on multiplayer with my friend on ps5, sometimes there is a lag spikes and projectiles just don’t disappear. For example one time we were fighting arelionite and i used my hook one loaded and my hook got stuck in the ground and i couldn’t interact with anything then it crashed out games do the it the lag it caused. How do we fix this or is there a patch for it coming?

[steady stone]

The projectiles not disappearing would be a product of the connection issues, not a separate problem
If you joined him and a disconnection happens, you'll stop receiving the data on what should happen to a projectile/enemy and where the projectile should be, so everything just exists while it tries to reconnect
Generally it just sounds like connection

you might see other games "speed up" after you reconnect, because it's pulling the correct information and correcting it

I suppose the most infamous example would be like, seeing the counter strike characters start running into walls when you get the disconnect popup, because as far as the game knows at the moment you lost connection, the order for them is "go forwards" and that hasnt been overwritten

[mossy tiger]

Does Repulsion armor stop effecting sojourn after a while? because it seems it goes away after a bit

[steady stone]

The damage ramps up over time, and healing gets lower, so eventually it will overpower the flat damage reduction and healing sources.

[mossy tiger]

Was that changed? I swear that wasn't how it was when Seeker was released

[steady stone]

that's how it always was yeah, or else would be infinite

[mossy tiger]

I know the healing but I thought the damage was always the same so with enough repulsion armors you could be in there infinintly
Cuz I remember chilling in sojourn for long periods of time to become a nuclear bomb

[steady stone]

RAPs greatly helps but isn't infinite

that also might've been you having

[full apex]

you cant deal/take less than 1 damage so

with no healing and infinite reduction, youd still get slowly chipped out

although i dont remember if the heal block applies to base regen

[mossy tiger]

I mean eventually but if you have 500 hp and only getting hit for 1 each tick thats nothing

It does

[full apex]

i figure it should

[storm bone]

Ya but the game doesnt really speed up it just goes back to normal. when the arelonite thing happened though it started causing lag spikes whenever it shots is laser or when the incendiary drone fired until his games just crashed. Also one time i was picking up an item with command on and it lagged then i was fine but could no longer open up items to choose what i wanted from them. next stage it was fixed.

[full apex]

but you can never be too sure lol

[steady stone]

so it stops and then resumes from there? that sounds like host problems then, if he can't get the info he also cant send it to you

less of you struggling to keep up with him, but more of there being nothing new to grab

[storm bone]

ya its just weird because he could pick up the items for me and i could kill enemies and use my abilities its like the lag made the game think i was still in the item menu

and with loader it one time stopped me from using my grapple because it lagged and i got stuck in the animation with my hand straight out but i could still use my other abilities

[storm bone]

it never used to do this at all so I just am trying to figure out why it is now.

We are on ps5 if I hadnt mentioned that yet

[solemn wind]

#ror2-tech-support might be more help

[hard laurel]

is void fiend gonna get any attention (new moves)

[steady stone]

Void Fiend was added in SOTV, a dlc before Gearbox took over that they haven't touched and probably won't other than maybe another skin

They've really only touched new content, keeping Hopoo stuff the way it was

[hard laurel]

alright

[quasi topaz]

What does it mean by "beat the game to unlock entry"? I have gold E4 as well as E8 on some and I've done runs that were below an hour on all of them.

[lavish jacinth]

eclipse doesn't count for logbooks for some reason

[steady stone]

i think it's more concerning/impressive that you went for e8 before just playing normally

[lavish jacinth]

being under an hour also doesn't matter

[quasi topaz]

Initially thought it only counted with under hour runs due to poor checking times

I would check the book after a while and I correlated it with that

[quasi topaz]

All the characters marked in my roles I have e8 on. easy way to keep track when I don't want to open the game

[lilac vapor]

does anyone know if gearbox is planning on doing a beta/asking for test players for alloyed collective?

[steady stone]

Some of the YouTubers have already tried it, iirc. I saw a few videos when it was announced claiming "I played it"

Yeah, disputed and rnd both say they have

[lavish jacinth]

they haven't confirmed if they're gonna do a public beta though

Probably not though since I bet there's stuff they don't wanna spoil

[cold beacon]

does killing false son end ur run

[lavish jacinth]

no, you have the option to continue

[cold beacon]

alright ty

[lavish jacinth]

if you use the rebirth altar but back out of it instead of picking an item it spawns a portal

[cold beacon]

i see lots of clips of people with railgunner having like double the reload bar, what stat effects that?

[lavish jacinth]

attack speed

makes the reload window larger and the bar moves slightly faster

[cold beacon]

oh ok thanks

[fleet quail]

im in shop and there was a gold statue thing here to destroy, does that do anything?

[lavish jacinth]

yeah, there are 3 of them hidden in the bazaar in random spots, if you break them it spawns a green portal

[fleet quail]

oh thats so cool

good to know

[cold beacon]

would make railgunner not be able to use the scope in move?

[lavish jacinth]

no

scope is her secondary, and it overrides her primary when you use it

visions actually has a small special interaction with her hud when she uses it

[undone salmon]

chat does breaching fin debuff count towards death mark

[lavish jacinth]

yes

[undone salmon]

ty

[weary cloud]

dpes wungus work on mobile turrets

[solemn wind]

No

They can't sprint

[mellow crystal]

Yes but only like 10% of the time because they only sprint if they're really far away from you

[weary cloud]

thats dumb as a box of rocks

[solemn wind]

Oh holy crap they can sprint?? Why have i never seen them sprint? I've needed them to sprint so many times!

[mellow crystal]

They only sprint if they're iirc like 120m+ away from you?
For reference the radius of focus crystal is like 10-13m iirc

[weary cloud]

turrets dont get equipments right?

[steady stone]

Turrets get passive equip like Aspects and (not )

[weary cloud]

so stuff like ocular hud and radar would work?

[steady stone]

No, they have to actually press the button to use those

[mellow crystal]

You activate those

[steady stone]

They have a slot (kinda, since wood sprite doesn't work) but they can't press the activate key

[weary cloud]

ok if i activate it do they get the effects?

[weary cloud]

ah makes sense

[steady stone]

No, unless it's shared like how Gorag is team-wide iirc

[weary cloud]

okay tyy!!

[steady stone]

although, I'm not actually too sure about that last part

whether Gorag would even do anything to them

[lavish jacinth]

yeah, gorag works on them

[mellow crystal]

P sure it does

[lavish jacinth]

it affects all allies

same reason it works on you if you give it to an equipment drone

[steady stone]

The fact that wood sprite doesn't work makes me not expect reasonable outcomes from them tbh, like they have their own jank system for equipment

I also wonder if they just have a blacklist or something

Since that would account for gesture too

[lavish jacinth]

the explanation I've heard is that they basically have a fake equipment slot that allows equipment items to exist in their inventory but not actually function unless it's a completely passive effect

and 'true" passive equipments are coded like passive items that just require an equipment slot, which is why woodsprite doesn't exist

basically the whole thing is just a bunch of jank and you shouldn't question it

[trim narwhal]

yes, it was changed

in exchange for slower damage gain per level, the damage now increases

so a buff for when you have limited rplates mid-late, and a nerf to when you do have a bunch. makes sojourn less plate reliant

[trim narwhal]

hp up still does not impact sojourn self damage

if u lower ur green hp under what it should be relative to level, then i see sojourn dmg getting reduced. getting a bunch of tonic afflictions or shaped glass can reduce it as well. but you cant increase it via hp items

for instance shaped glass with no other items = halved damage. shaped glass with stone flux = normal sojourn damage. shaped glass with a few pearls = between halved and full damage

e8 curse and shrine of shaping should also reduce sojourn dmg, havent tested though

tldr sojourn damage can be decreased by enough hp downs to get u below "natural" hp but never increased from enough hp ups

[velvet sleet]

cross play

[mellow crystal]

It feels like you just cast a spell to re-enable everyone's crossplay

[twilit tide]

is complete logbook here pinned somewhere?

[primal vector]

You can checked it in the wiki

https://riskofrain2.wiki.gg/

[lapis abyss]

Has the pricing and releasw date been revealed for the upcoming dlc yet?

[lavish jacinth]

no

probably a safe bet that it'll be the same price as the other 2 though

[ornate gust]

Did they remove encrusted key lockboxes and shipping requests from spawning in the void fields?

[storm drum]

ok. ive been trying to use questions as little as possible. but i need to ask. how are you supposed to avoid the stone titan lazer attack? ive ben trying out the huntress. and i keep blinking to behind him and he instantly spins around and removes half my health with it, its at the point that if i get him as a first boss im screwed

[primal vector]

With enough speed you can outrun it. But in the first stages the easies way is to use a cover, like with the jellyfish area attack

[storm drum]

i see

well mt rng sucked then that run, he was in the middle of an open field ;-;

[primal vector]

In dire situations, the prongs of the tp can save you. Its tricky though

[storm drum]

alrighty

also, for huntresses primary. is the basic one or the three shot better?

cause i cant tell if it makes a difference or not

[primal vector]

The base one is usually better since you need a minimum amount of crit for the alt to do more dps. If you are doing short runs now, I would use the original

In any case, although some skills may be better than other, dont forget the fun factor. I usually go for the alt to see if I can pull it off

[storm drum]

ok. thank you, this game has a really steep learning curve ;-; i like it but jeez, as someone who usually plays souls likes, this is a difficult beast to learn

[primal vector]

Sure, its difficult. It has that roguelike "you will day many times until you learn it" gameloop. Dont feel discouraged, soon you will start unlocking things and going further

[lavish jacinth]

protip, it never uses its laser attack as long as it's above 95% health, so you always have time to find cover as long as you don't attack it right away

[lavish jacinth]

and yeah, roguelikes are basically about banging your head against a wall until one or the other breaks. You'll die a lot at first, just try to learn something from every death and do better next time

[primal vector]

Quite souls-esque in that sense

[storm drum]

alrighty

thank you guys

[silver oxide]

is there be any way to do custom resolution?

[full delta]

Who is the best for Proc chains

[honest badger]

commando is the best proc character hands down, but a character with high damage like rg or captain can technically produce the best proc chains

[full delta]

I mean if I use the skills plus plus mod and tons of soliders

[peak jacinth]

MULT with saw is definitely a better proc character

[honest badger]

i have no idea what skills plus plus is

[full delta]

A mod that lets you upgrade skills

[honest badger]

proc coefficient is sub 1 no?

[peak jacinth]

saw is proc co 1

[honest badger]

and saw has no range

hm ok

[full delta]

I can fix that ONCE I UNLOCK IT

[mellow crystal]

Aside from cover, you can also get super close to it (like actual stabbing distance close) and run around it in a circle
You might still get hit a few times if you don't have movespeed but it'll mostly just be chip damage

[daring thorn]

Is the atg and merf more optimised now or is it just really hard to crash in single player

[honest badger]

ive never crashed with atg or merf

[glad edge]

Anybody know of a mod/way to easily set specific rebirth items/starting items?

[vale creek]

yo whats the best movespeed item to stack?

[quasi topaz]

If you're doing a command run I'd grab energy drinks and then a boss item. If it's not a command run then still energy drinks since you're almost always sprinting and mithrix can't make use of them

[mellow crystal]

Yeah energy drinks usually but goat hooves are definitely more useful in the right situations too

[vale creek]

hmm alright ty

[lyric pasture]

what is the best proc character?

[mellow crystal]

Commando or mul-t with powermode double nail

[lyric pasture]

which one is more fun?

[mellow crystal]

Both of them in different ways tbh

[wispy wyvern]

hey is soul bound cataylist supposed to reduce the cooldown of the equipment like this? or is this a bug

[silver oxide]

how to do custom resolution?

[wispy wyvern]

go into settings and then into video and then change it there

[silver oxide]

nahh man there is no suitable resolution for me

i need a 854x480

[jade oasis]

what are the advantages and disadvantages of lunar spikes vs lunar stakes?

[mellow crystal]

Spikes are hyperspammable, which makes them easier to use, as well as more consistent w/o laser burst (tho lotf is kinda dead rn in terms of viability)
Lunar stakes have good aoe and also 50% more lunar ruin application on a single target if you use a specific tech, but they're harder to use because the long cooldown means you have to keep track of lunar ruin's duration to properly keep it up
Laser burst does mitigate the downsides I listed for stakes tho

[silver oxide]

any ssugestions on ts

[mellow crystal]

Essentially stakes overall better, especially with laser burst, but they're harder to use compared to spikes where you can just hold m2 for value

Also something I forgot to note, spitting out spikes purely for lunar tampering does feel more like a waste on stakes due to the cd

And since stakes aren't hyperspammable there's less luminous shot synergy, but the higher value per charge means better backup mag synergy

[jade oasis]

I seee

makes sense, after consideration I think the scrumptious sound effects on stakes is gonna be the deciding factor in me going with those

[mellow crystal]

Real tbh

[full delta]

Anyone got a good build for heretic

[jade oasis]

a singular cautious slug

[full delta]

That’s it?

[jade oasis]

havent really played heretic in a while but essensially everything works on her and shes super op overall, the main downside to her being that she has negative health regeneration, so if you egt enough healing to take care of that

youre chilling

[full delta]

So like if I get rejuv racks, bungus, seeds and planula and desk plant

I’m good to go

[wispy wyvern]

yeah pretty much

[jade oasis]

dont even need that much but opretty much yes

[full delta]

Time to check some proc co efficient

[river lodge]

what happens if you go voidling in eclipse?

do they just go "ah neat" and nothing happens

oh wait no i can check the wiki for this doiii

[mellow crystal]

You don't

As in you literally can't

iirc eclipse locks you into ending the run at mithrix

[river lodge]

yeargh

i mean not like i was gonna go voidling anyway lmao

[mellow crystal]

Real

[steady stone]

You can glass frog im pretty sure but you already beat Mithrix atp

same way you could do false son but it does literally nothing to help you

[winter elk]

Can someone explain what does the bolstering lantern do?

Does it increase my attack speed or do I need enemies near me to increase attack speed

[steady stone]

when an enemy or ally gets in range, you can increase your attack speed

the max stacks of atk speed is based on your stacks of lantern

4 max increases base, +2 per stack, along with the range stacking

[scarlet sleet]

any build tips specifically to unlock this? stack a lot of delicate watches?

[daring cloak]

Watches run risk of breaking

I recommend stacking a lot of crowbars, a transcendence (trust me on this one) and hitting a crowd of enemies after a couple seconds

The trancendence actually reduces your self damage to 1 because gearbox messed up a bit so you can fly for way longer than normal

[scarlet sleet]

I noticed that when I used sojourn while I had the perfected elite buff with
so this is why

[scarlet sleet]

you mean because the more time I spend on sojourn the stronger the final blast is?

[daring cloak]

Yes

And size too for a bit

Since you do want to hit as many enemies as possible

I personally got it down with 12 crowbars, 12 raps and a couple of the other damage boosting items within 20 minutes

[scarlet sleet]

[viral sorrel]

does the stronger burn debuff count towards chef's its getting hot in here challenge

[hoary sedge]

yeah it does

[viral sorrel]

ok tank you

[livid wedge]

Lantern was changed to 3 +1 per stack and now the AS also scales with level

[steady stone]

ah, sounds like the wiki needs an update then

[livid wedge]

Ye

To be fair, it was very recent

[storm drum]

any suggestions on how to do the huntress: peircing wind challange?

[lavish jacinth]

Topaz brooch helps, taking damage to barrier won't fail the challenge. Shaped glass/artifact of glass are useful too

Also safer spaces

[pure stream]

is there a way to see how much growth you have as false son

or did i just not get any yet

[lavish jacinth]

You can tell based on how many extra stocks of your secondary you have

[lyric palm]

is there a good in depth guide to playing and building bandit, and what skills to pick when?

[pure stream]

oh thats good its 4 normally right? would be alot better if there was an icon above your health like anything else though tbh

[lavish jacinth]

Yeah, you start with 4

[lavish jacinth]

For skills, primary and secondary are pretty much down to preference, but shotgun is generally slightly better, and desperado is pretty much always better than lights out.

He's pretty flexible when it comes to items, he's got pretty good procs on his primary and good burst on desperado, so you can build around either of them or do a mix depending on what items you get

[lyric palm]

still looking for a good alternative character to play that i enjoy that DOESNT really want/need bands and crowbar (usually i play railgunner)
and bandit is quite fun

[lavish jacinth]

I don't think there's really an in-depth guide for him because there's not a lot to go into depth on, he's pretty straightforward. Cloak to get behind enemies, unload into their back, finish with your revolver and repeat.
Or if you're using the rifle you sorta play him like commando and wear things down at midrange instead of bursting everything down up close

[lyric palm]

will i be fine with leaving crowbars and bands for friends (while going more for proc and crit related items)
and what specific items might be really good to prioritize (that my friends should leave for me)

[lavish jacinth]

Crit synergy items are obviously good on him, especially shatterspleen, but obviously shouldn't be the only thing you take. Total damage procs and multipliers are strong as always

[lyric palm]

usually the way i play with friends is, spread out and grab what we find, but everyone has a 2-4 items that others leave for them usually
like health items for false son
bands, crowbar and focus crystal for loader
etc

so i would have a mix of most things BUT those kind of items

[lavish jacinth]

And yeah, he doesn't NEED bands or crowbar to be effective (and neither does railgunner honestly, they're just strong on her).
Bands can be good on anyone but crowbar is kinda useless if you don't have at least one good burst skill

[lavish jacinth]

Yeah that's a good way to do it

I'll just save some time and add that total damage procs are good on literally everyone, so building into them is pretty much always a safe bet unless you're stacking purity

[fresh umbra]

Is eulogy zero worth taking to hope i can get stone flux for the false son achievement?

I have 2 stone fluxes, 10 steaks, and 1 infusion currently

[plucky verge]

https://tenor.com/view/stan-twitter-twitter-funny-chat-bubble-girl-gif-25482267

😦

[fresh umbra]

Oh and recycler

[brittle shuttle]

Just get longstanding solitude

And you win

Shrimple as that

[fresh umbra]

At level 23?

[brittle shuttle]

And some pennies if need be

Yeah

[lavish jacinth]

You won't be at level 23 for long with LS

[north leaf]

What's the enemy between the wandering vagrant and the magma worm in the logbook?

[lavish jacinth]

void jailer

[north leaf]

Ty

It and voidling are the only monster logs I'm missing

[viral sorrel]

does pennies proc on seeker sojourn dmg ?

[indigo depot]

how do i get to higher stages im on stage four and the difficulty is insane

[lavish jacinth]

try to full-loot every stage and don't rush to the teleporter

[indigo depot]

i am doing that

[lavish jacinth]

that's a good start then

[indigo depot]

so do stages just take this long to get through

[lavish jacinth]

depends, a pretty good pace to aim for is to full clear and have more items than minutes, but it's okay if you spend extra time messing with printers and scrappers and stuff

~7 minutes per stage is pretty typical in my experience, sometimes longer on later stages, but the exact amount of time isn't as important as whether you're spending it efficiently

don't get distracted fighting enemies for no reason, if you've got gold to spend then you should be looking for places to spend it

[steady stone]

that and just always be looking for places, so you can map out a route once you do have enough gold

[lavish jacinth]

Yep, you can plan your route while doing your initial farming and/or saving up for something expensive like the legendary chests on stage 4 (if you know about those)

[lyric palm]

any great lunar items that i should take on railgunner?

[lavish jacinth]

other than that, just try to always be moving, ideally circlestrafing groups of enemies. Try to learn enemy attack patterns and which ones to prioritize

[indigo depot]

thanks for the advice people

[lavish jacinth]

There's nothing that's specifically great on her besides the usual stuff like tonic or gesture, just don't take

[lyric palm]

yeah i learned from my past
im not taking heresy items on RG

except MAYBE visions

[lavish jacinth]

Strides can be alright sometimes

I think visions is actually a slight dps improvement over her primary, but using smart rounds for mobility and cancelling fall damage is honestly more useful imo

like, railgunner doesn't exactly struggle with dps

[lyric palm]

i might take visions when i use supercharge
afaik it doesnt get disabled

[steady stone]

default M1 for the pillar skip

[winter elk]

If I’m getting the seeker mastery skin

Will I get it if I kill all 3 bosses or only mythrix?

[keen sphinx]

Any of the 3. I beat the void spider and unlocked it that way

[viral sorrel]

are logbook drops affected by clover, and do you get a survivor logbook when you win through voidling?

[winter elk]

Guys I can’t loop? I killed false son on stage 19 but the green portal didn’t spawn to loop?

[fast briar]

Logbook drops are affected by clover and voidling counts as beating the game so yes

[viral sorrel]

touch the big pot once

[viral sorrel]

ok tanks

[fast briar]

Touch the rebirth shrine

[winter elk]

Thank you so much

[fast briar]

Np, enjoy the run

[winter elk]

One more question
I got looped and another halcyon shrine spawned?? Where will it take me?

[fast briar]

Back to path of the colossus, you should be able to fight fs more thna once

[winter elk]

Really? I can kill fs infinitely?

[fast briar]

Yeah I'm pretty sure lol

You can torture him if you wish

[lavish jacinth]

you're not supposed to be able to afaik, but I've heard it's bugged

[fast briar]

I am not 100% sure but I think it's possible

[winter elk]

Right now I’m a walking nuke but I wanna end the run to get her mastery

[fast briar]

I mean then it'll just get you to meridian w/o the fight

[winter elk]

It’s showing a gold portal now

Instead of green

[fast briar]

Aha

That makes more sense mb

Sometimes it would bug before and get you on green path again

Upon which you could fight him again

[winter elk]

Should I go through it or regular portal?

[lavish jacinth]

could also be that they're not on a valid stage for alt path, it has to be in the first 3 stages of a loop

[fast briar]

Gold is an easy take, more chests and yellows w/o time passing

[fast briar]

Yeah maybe

Honestly I haven't experimented with looping green path that much so I wouldn't know

[winter elk]

Okay so went through
Killed knight pretty fast
It put me back to stage 5 again after

Huh 6 chance dolls guarantees the red
Good to know

[lavish jacinth]

it doesn't guarantee a red, just that chance doll will activate

[winter elk]

There’s another halcyon shrine at stage 5
Same gold portal

[winter elk]

Is it bugged?

[lavish jacinth]

you can't get green portals on stage 4 or 5

[winter elk]

I can keep getting the gold portals?? I thought it was a one time thing

[lavish jacinth]

the alt path stages have to run parallel to the normal stage order

yeah, there's no limit on gold portals

[winter elk]

Ohhhhhh didn’t know that
Thanks for the info

[lavish jacinth]

np, and yeah the routing is kinda confusing lol

[viral sorrel]

rip i had like 15 clovers and none of the 6 voidlings dropped the book lmao

[fast briar]

Dang thats just bad luck

110 rep plates in 90 minutes is devious activities

[viral sorrel]

teehee

i started off as seeker

will beating one of the lunar scavengers get you the logbook for wtv survivor youre playing

[lavish jacinth]

actually stupidly unlucky lol
it would be about a 39% chance per voidling

[viral sorrel]

yeah

its prob the last log im gonna bother getting lmao

so annoying

[lavish jacinth]

clearly I stole all of your luck, when I did it I got the log first try with no clovers

[viral sorrel]

[viral sorrel]

?

[lavish jacinth]

yeah

[viral sorrel]

yippeee tanks

[unkempt ocean]

Seekers alt special is bugged and doesn’t scale or something right?

[lavish jacinth]

yeah

[viral sorrel]

so if i understand correct the only instance in which you dont get a survivor log is in eclipse

[winter elk]

Oooo see that you got the scorch Earth achievement as well

[viral sorrel]

yesss

i would hope so after 10x of every dmg item

[winter elk]

Reprieve is so fun

Zooming through the map

Tho it’s hard to control

[quasi topaz]

Control doesn't matter much with it since you're either going cross map or using it point blank to group enemies

[lavish osprey]

the game took away my false child, also took one of my alternative seeker abilities and had to unlock it again, does anyone know why?

[shell lynx]

can you still get achievments with mods?

[lavish jacinth]

yes

[shell lynx]

ooh fun

[lavish jacinth]

There's a rare-ish bug where progress doesn't get saved

[lavish osprey]

oh ok, unrelated question, why do you help everyone around here? no disrespect or anything, just curious, are you a dev, devoted player or sum?

[lavish jacinth]

helping new players is fun, this community is cool, and it makes the 1000+ hours I've spent playing and learning about this game not entirely useless

[lavish osprey]

oh i see, thats amazing, hope this continues to fullfil you, you have my respects.

[lavish jacinth]

thanks lol

[lavish osprey]

and, thanks for the help, i was worrying it was due to mods, i appreciate it.

[lavish jacinth]

np

speaking of which, you can use the realercheatunlocks mod to get progress back if it happens again, if you don't feel like redoing the unlock

[lavish osprey]

yup, i just installed it, lol

[gloomy pulsar]

Guys does anyone know who did the translations for the game? I’ve been trying to find an answer but the game’s credits are no good

[hoary hare]

Loving seeker ATM quickly becoming my favorite but how many do I need to negate the damage from her utility to 1

[dusky raven]

Depends of level and the damage now scales so it won’t work forever

Running 6-10 keeps you pretty good for most of the run but don’t expect infinite results

[viral sorrel]

can cleansing pools spawn post-loop?

nvm found one

finally gonna get to go through my 22 lunar items as false son

alright bruh i died right after to a void explosion and my zoea popped and now i have 31 of them

love this game

[frank sparrow]

hey guys im trying to get the ground slam thing for loader and im in the bulwark but where do i find other loaders to kill im very confused

[viral sorrel]

you have to wait

they take a bit to spawn

also make sure you did the right artifact

[frank sparrow]

whats the right artifact?

[lavish jacinth]

vengeance

[dire topaz]

does anyone know a video on where to get all of the environment logs?

[lavish jacinth]

https://riskofrain2.wiki.gg/wiki/Environments#Hidden_Realms dunno about a video but the wiki has all the locations

[trim lintel]

im on my first run that i got passed grandparents boss and i got tp'd to this place where it lets me obliterate myself. i did some google searching but i have no clear answer. Do i or do i not need the beads of fealty to get mercenary via obliterating myself

[south egret]

You do not

[trim lintel]

would u say its worth it?

[south egret]

if you haven’t unlocked him yet, sure.

He has a very unique playstyle though and I personally haven’t played him in easily a year

But lots of people love him

[trim lintel]

is he like hard to play or something

[south egret]

I would say high skill floor and immense skill ceiling. Lots of tech, many ways to abuse his animations (in a good way), and when you get good at him, you’re basically invincible

[trim lintel]

urghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

reallyhad to be on my best run yet bruh

[south egret]

If you don’t want to end the run right now, interacting ONCE with the obelisk and then looking to the right of it will give you the option to leave

[trim lintel]

yeah i knowwwwwwwwww

[south egret]

Haha ok

[trim lintel]

i want both..................

[south egret]

Fair

[trim lintel]

im letting google random number generator decide

[south egret]

You can loop once or twice and come back later

[south egret]

Sure haha

[lavish jacinth]

^ the celestial portal spawns on the 3rd stage of every loop so you'll get multiple chances

[trim lintel]

it picked obliterating myself

ggs

[south egret]

ggwp

You’ll get a god run again soon. Don’t sweat it

[lavish jacinth]

you got there once, you'll do it again

[trim lintel]

i meannnn yeahhhh

but like my shit was actually goated bruh

i had like 10 red items

[hoary hare]

artifact of command if ur feelin the need for a god run (dont spam it tho)

[frank sparrow]

how do i get the golden portal to spawn inside a enviroment

[mellow crystal]

Find a gold altar

[lost roost]

Hey everybody I have a question, my 50 hour profile was corrupted on ROR2 and I just wanted to know if I’ve now lost it forever or if I can some how save it

[lavish jacinth]

#ror2-tech-support might be able to help, (check pins first) but in a worst case scenario you can use the realercheatunlocks mod to get your progress back on a new profile

[lost roost]

Ok thank you!

[hoary hare]

i wonder if i can beat mithryx 🤔

[tawdry hearth]

"I wonder if this nuke can kill people"

[hoary hare]

runs out i rand into voidling

it died in 1 hit per phase

[mellow crystal]

Common voidling L

[hoary hare]

i got my skin tho

now onto railgunner

what utility is better for her?

currently im trying the slow one

[livid wedge]

I run default railgunner

111

[hoary hare]

the only thing i dont like is that 5 sec locjout

lockout*

[mellow crystal]

1112 is the best railgunner loadout overall

[livid wedge]

Fair. If you use it right, it's not much of a worry, though

I would contest the use of best

Both her specials are good, though

[mellow crystal]

Supercharge instakill is funny but cryo freeze and riskless spammability is just insane

[mellow crystal]

True but it's a case of "good and better than good" rather than "bad and good" for rg specials

[hoary hare]

ah ok. i used to play on a cousins account but i just got it with both dlc on mine (he
had no dlc )

[livid wedge]

Still disagree

But whatever

Her concussion mines are better, I think

[hoary hare]

i fell in love with seeker. im assuming i wanna stack bands and watches? on her

[livid wedge]

But polar zone has uses

On rg? Yes

[mellow crystal]

Bands, watches, crowbars, ap rounds

[hoary hare]

ty

[livid wedge]

Watches are risky on seeker

[hoary hare]

not when u have 40 tougher times and like 40 armor plates lol

[livid wedge]

True

[hoary hare]

its funny

[livid wedge]

If you're going to get that many tougher times though, may as well make it safer spaces instead

[hoary hare]

idk much abt either dlc

[fair apex]

Yes but then wouldnt u rather tougher times and reps first instead of watches?

[hoary hare]

yes

i got the watches late af

[fair apex]

Also imo seeker and rex prefer tougher times over safer spaces

Just cuz of their self dmg stuff

[hoary hare]

after i had wungus and aegis

[livid wedge]

Safer spaces would block every 0.25 seconds at that amount

[mellow crystal]

The exception being alt util seeker for obvious reasons

[hoary hare]

before i had the dlcs i was an artificer lover

[fair apex]

Yep definitely

[hoary hare]

crowbar stack on arti go funny

[mellow crystal]

Also alt rex but who actually enjoys playing alt rex

Or green rex more accurately

[fair apex]

Any one on e8

Its robo rex, plant rex is the dmg skills robo is the healing

[hoary hare]

just got false son no clue what he does

[fair apex]

Everything

[hoary hare]

someone pick someone for me to get a run on, i have alt for all except son

[mellow crystal]

Less so damage and healing and moreso risky damage and riskless

[livid wedge]

40 teddies would be blocking every 6/7 ticks

[mellow crystal]

He tanks, he bursts, he procs decently, and he actually likes HP items (even the bad ones like bison steak)
In other words he does everything

[fair apex]

I mean yk what i mean hahaha

[livid wedge]

False son a little op, honestly

[hoary hare]

yep. i was in my util for almost a min straight and deleted anything that moved

[fair apex]

He is, and people want him buffed

[livid wedge]

The fuck

[hoary hare]

does seeker util dodge void explosions?

[mellow crystal]

Yeah he's absolutely above loader and rg tier and debatably above engi
But given he's a playable boss idm it

[livid wedge]

Do they know they're wrong?

[fair apex]

Removes ur hitbox so it shouls

[mellow crystal]

iirc yes since I do remember doing that once

[fair apex]

Nope, tbf they're talking abt LOTF which after bug fixing is useless compared to laser burst, but i think nerf his other stuff, then we can talk abt buffs

[hoary hare]

ah ok i was worried abt it when i was in deep void the only thing i knew abt that place or any void things was DONT GO IN THE BLACKHOLE

[livid wedge]

I joke, of course

[fair apex]

Should because it should work like strides

[livid wedge]

People can play how they want

[fair apex]

Like 99.99% sure it does

[mellow crystal]

I also don't mind it because you have to beat fs + auri in order to unlock him which is honestly absolute cancer if you don't already have fs well-practiced
And I say this as one of the fs (boss) experts

[fair apex]

Yeah, i do think LOTF needs a buff, but i also think the rest of his kit needs a nerf

[mellow crystal]

It works like better strides funnily enough
Strides deletes your hitbox, sojourn deletes your hitbox AND grants invulnerability

[livid wedge]

-# or you did it when he was easy pre fix

[hoary hare]

i wish u could preview the skins for characters

see if u want them before u do them

[fair apex]

His m1 alone out DPS's LOTF at stage 4-5 onwarda

[fair apex]

Does it? U cant take fire dmg in sojourn???

[lavish jacinth]

just look them up https://riskofrain2.wiki.gg/wiki/Survivors

[mellow crystal]

Yeah lotf getting the unlimited ramping bug fixed alongside laser burt buff really hurt its viability

[livid wedge]

Pretty sure dots still hurt

If you have them before sojourning

[fair apex]

Yeah then it works like strides no?

[mellow crystal]

Wonder how that works since sojourn does prevent stuff like void cradles and blood shrines

[fair apex]

Strides also makes u just...immune to most things. Outside of a few stuff

[fair apex]

Sojourn does work into those

Strides doesnt prevent blood shrine dmg iirc

[mellow crystal]

Yeah ik, which makes me wonder why debuffs don't work

[fair apex]

So thats a difference yeah

[fair apex]

Because those are effects applied BEFORE sojourn whereas the dmg from shrines is during the duration of it

[hoary hare]

is chef any good? i forgot i havent played him yet

i tried him back when he was a mod and wasnt impressed

[fair apex]

Yes

And im a new chef hater btw

[mellow crystal]

Yeah
He's super fun and like around arti's tier imo

[fair apex]

I advocate for old chef, but i can tell u he is objectively stronger now

[hoary hare]

also idk how to feel abt void fiend

[fair apex]

Hes higher, just cuz of how much horizontal mobility he has as well imo

[mellow crystal]

I do wish they kept yes chef not cancelling roll and just made his m1 the old m1 with 1.0 proc and no stocks

[hoary hare]

i dont like that u cant activate the corruption mode on its own

its kinda forced

[fair apex]

Someone else who understands...

[livid wedge]

I don't like the feel of chef but that's just a me thing. I think he's fine as is

[hoary hare]

i might get hate for this. but

engi boring AF

[fair apex]

My comrade...yeah i was uber hated cuz day 1 i made a doc abt that

To be fair i was a lil bit...pushy with it cuz i was still mad

But meh, h8ers gonna h8

[livid wedge]

Engi boring, maybe. Engi sucks? Incorrect

[hoary hare]

thats what i mean u right

[livid wedge]

Like, I get the boring part

He's a very different kind of build

[hoary hare]

idk who to play

tbh

[lavish jacinth]

I think that's kinda the point, he's supposed to feel unstable or whatever. You can't control corruption, only manage it

[livid wedge]

Play em all

See who you like

[hoary hare]

whats the code for the artifact that swaps character each stage?

[hoary hare]

so far seeker. arti. merc and captian

[lavish jacinth]

imo viend would be less interesting if you could just hit a button to go corrupt whenever you want instead of it being a constant thing that you deal with and that's saying a lot because viend is already boring as he is

[livid wedge]

Oh damn, it's not in pins I don't see

[hoary hare]

he needs alts

i think hes the only one without them

[mellow crystal]

I see so many people going "but that's too much effort because you'd need to be making two skills per skill" as if chef's alt special doesn't exist

Like yeah it was a reasonable excuse back then when sotv released but now it's just an excuse

[livid wedge]

Hopoo made good decisions and dumb ones

[hoary hare]

they just outa ideas for him

[mellow crystal]

Voidling...

[livid wedge]

I love everything about the voidling except fighting it

[lavish jacinth]

they almost got rid of it

[livid wedge]

I love the lore, the ambiance, the music, the stage, the phase transitions

[hoary hare]

ok crazy idea for special alt for him. sacrifice 70% hp for a (blackhole idk what the insta death orbs are called) and the dmg scales with how much hp it takes (is not affected by shields/barriers)

[livid wedge]

Not the fight, though

[mellow crystal]

Fucking exactly actually

[livid wedge]

It almost feels like the voidling is playing the saxophone itself for its theme

[mellow crystal]

I have an entire nem void fiend concept and now that I think about it I could turn all of his skills into alts for void fiend if I give them corrupted variants

[lavish jacinth]

I wish they'd stuck to the original voidling concept where it was even bigger and sat in the center of the arena, and you'd climb on it and fight it colossus style I guess

[livid wedge]

Bruh

Please

That would have been sick

Be easier for melee

[lavish jacinth]

apparently it was a technical nightmare and they couldn't get it working in time for release

so they just settled for a glorified teleporter boss instead

[hoary hare]

shoulda mentioned the ability im thinking of is only usable for corrupted form and it uses ALL of your corruption bar. maybe it coud scale with that instead of HP

[cedar roost]

long time player getting back into the game again, is there a way to alter Railgunners ads speed?

[lavish jacinth]

nope

[cedar roost]

:(

I'll get used to it in time, thanks!

[fair apex]

Old voidling looked dope...and fathomless is decprecated

[fair apex]

Also tbh, I think I'd prefer alt passives and alt Rs for void fiend...alt utilities as well. I think changing how his mechanic might work might be even cooler than just straight giving him different abilities

[long mesa]

kinda confused as to what these portals do, killed aurelionate and was wondering if i should go through the green or gold portal if my goal is fighting mithrix

[lavish jacinth]

gold portal always takes you to gilded coast or back to normal stages, green portal always takes you to path of the colossus and false son

[long mesa]

dope, thanks

[wispy hinge]

Whats a good red item for captain

[primal vector]

Apart from universal ones, Drone parts is good since his passive makes drones way more durable

[wispy hinge]

Is that from one of the dlc?

[primal vector]

Yes, Drone parts is form DLC1

Good non-DLC ones could be Shattered justice, Meatkook or Hardlight

[honest badger]

brainstalks is really funny if you have diablo strike

idk if that's dlc

[livid wedge]

It is base game

[wide badger]

Is spiral tonic any good?

[daring cloak]

Yea spinal tonic is very very good, but dangerous

[wide badger]

Okay

[daring cloak]

Unless you can reduce its cooldown to be permanently active you want to use it pretty sparingly

Because the more tonic afflictions you get the more you are dependent on tonic which along with its buffs also disables the tonic afflictions as long as its active

[wide badger]

What item reduces cooldown ?

So it's double edge sword

[daring cloak]

Fuel cells 15% +15% per stack
gesture of the drowned 50% +15% per stack, also automatically activates your equipment whenever it can
Soulbound catalyst reduces equipment cd by 5 seconds per kill (dont know how it stacks)

For perma tonic you'd need 7 fuel cells (but you have to activate it yourself all the time) or 1 gesture and 3 more gestures or fuel cells

[wide badger]

It's a setup item ?

[daring cloak]

Sort of

Unless you can keep it active permanently theres a 20% chance that once the buff runs out you get a permanent tonic affliction which reduces all your stats by 5%

So the more you use tonic the weaker you get when you dont have its buff active

[wide badger]

I found it hard use with engineer

[daring cloak]

Yeah its not really good on engi

[wide badger]

This my turret also got affected with debuff but no with the buff

[daring cloak]

The turrets will get the afflictions but cant get the tonic buff

[wide badger]

Im trying to make a consistent build for engineer on monsoon and spiral tonic would help

[daring cloak]

Eh tonic really isnt that good for engi simply because its a huge debuff to the turrets

[wide badger]

Yeah

The only items I have found work really is bungus, the bands and icbm

[lavish jacinth]

engie works with like... everything

[wide badger]

Proc item I tend find are hit or miss

[lavish jacinth]

not really? his turrets have good proc rates

also total damage procs work on literally everyone so

[wide badger]

Are meant use the turret regularly? I places then until I can place both again

[lavish jacinth]

yeah, turrets are like his main damage source

usually when I'm running around the map I only place one at a time and keep the other on cooldown in case I need it

and only put down both during big fights

[wide badger]

Is that mobile or stationery turret?

[lavish jacinth]

but turrets are his main thing, it's what you should build around

[lavish jacinth]

stationary turrets, mobiles you can just put down whenever since they'll follow you

[wide badger]

Because I have mainly been using mobile

[lavish jacinth]

although it's good to refresh them every so often because they only gain new items you've picked up when you rebuild them

[wide badger]

Ah I see

I wonder why didnt keep getting new item

[lavish jacinth]

that might be part of why you've been having trouble making him consistent

the mobile turrets aren't bad, they're fun to play with and are totally fine as a playstyle thing, but the stationary turrets are more reliable imo

[wide badger]

Yeah, because I have been focusing on mobile and healing, and really focusing on damage item

[lavish jacinth]

with stationaries you can always put them on high ground or other spots where they'll have an advantage (or clip them into walls if you're feeling cheesy), but with mobiles you just have to rely on their janky AI

[wide badger]

I noticed the mobile turret AI is weird.

[lavish jacinth]

yeah it's not great

[fast briar]

Theyre jank but theyre fun

I kinda prefer to use them for the fun sake
