[nocturne sierra]

That makes sense

[quasi topaz]

I've done a few sacrifice runs where there was a void seed but no cradles anywhere on the map

[lavish jacinth]

yeah, they're not guaranteed to spawn

[nocturne sierra]

What causes a bunch of pots to drop from dead enemies

[steady stone]

those are gold bags, it's if they scale enough

[nocturne sierra]

That’s a cool detail they added

[nocturne sierra]

What is the icon for the radar tower on the radio scanner

[glacial knoll]

original chest

[proven dragon]

do sale stars work on adaptive chests?

[hoary sedge]

yep

it gives you 2+ copies of the item you land on

so if you're good at hitting what you want they're arguably the best use of it

[proven dragon]

thank you i just got 3 backup magazines 🙏

[midnight leaf]

hey guys is there a command to automatically kill all the monsters in a stage? me and my friends void seed is bugged and theres an enemy that says its there but is invisible and unkillable.

we want to get the void seed because we could easily kill the monster but we cant find a command to do it

[livid wedge]

If there was, you wouldn't be able to do it without the debugtoolkit mod anyway

[midnight leaf]

dam unlucky

[mellow crystal]

There is "kill_all" but like garbage said you need debugtoolkit for it

[midnight leaf]

yeah i downloaded it rn

thanks guys!

[outer sierra]

my freind and i cant enter eachothers lobbys?

what do i do

[lavish jacinth]

assuming you're both on steam, make sure you both have crossplay disabled. And if either of you is running mods, either disable them or share your modlist so you both have the same ones

[outer sierra]

already done, and we disabled mods already

[lavish jacinth]

well, so much for the easy fixes

#ror2-tech-support might be able to help but responses there are slow, unfortunately the most recent patches of the game seem to have some multiplayer issues and I don't know of a consistent fix

turning crossplay on can sometimes fix it but I don't recommend it, afaik you still get all the usual bugs that come with crossplay like randomly disconnecting after about an hour

[outer sierra]

it appears laving the lobby you start in then joining fixed it once

waiting on somone to test it

[lavish jacinth]

weird, but good to know

[outer sierra]

nope didnt work the second time

[frigid glen]

do halcon shrines always spawn stage 1 or is it a chance?

[lavish jacinth]

random chance, but they're very common

[frigid glen]

thanks

[frigid glen]

how many debufs does false son apply

[lavish jacinth]

just one, lunar ruin

[frigid glen]

thanks

[lavish jacinth]

(although the boss version can also apply silence, I assume you meant the survivor though)

[clear whale]

the boss or the survivor

[frigid glen]

survivor

[fair sequoia]

should i use cryocharge or supercharge on railgunner

[mellow crystal]

Cryo is overall better

[fair sequoia]

also
is railgunner difficult
i haven't won a single run with her yet

ever since i bought SOTV a couple days ago

[mellow crystal]

Ehhh depends on who you ask tbh
She's extremely strong which does pave the way to being an easy character, but she does also require some skill on the player's end to deal with crowds and to quickscope

Quickscoping is ideal since it allows you to move more freely

[hoary sedge]

also railgunner runs snowball VERY quickly once you get a couple good proc items bc she does such high damage hits relatively frequently with >1 proc coeff on both specials

[left ore]

i have planula with 2 rejuvenation racks and 10 repulsion armor plates, why am i only healed for 1 per tick when using sojourn?

[mellow crystal]

Sojourn gradually decreases healing gained

[left ore]

damn the devs really thought of everything to stop me from doing sojourn + razorwire false son

[left ore]

what's the easiest way to get seeker: scorched earth?

[mellow crystal]

Stay in sojourn as long as possible then explode on as many enemies as possible

[left ore]

why ?
and why ? wouldn't that make it harder to stay in sojourn longer?

[mellow crystal]

reduces all sojourn self-damage to 1 because of how it interacts with %hp stuff

And sojourn is based on your max health, decreases your max health, so 0 shaped glass and 4 shaped glass will have the same sojourn duration

[left ore]

so + makes 0 damage taken?

or am i forgetting how shield works

[mellow crystal]

Shield doesn't get healed by healing items

And either way, every second you spend in sojourn (after the self-damage begins) reduces healing by 10%, so stops working after 10s

[left ore]

is there a way to regen shield? i don't do builds often i usually just go + + +

[mellow crystal]

Nop
The only way shield regens is if you don't take damage for 7 seconds, which makes it regen near-instantly

Either way because reduces sojourn's self-damage to 1, it + some damage items are enough on their own for scorched earth

[left ore]

does proc when using ?

[mellow crystal]

Yes

It's still self-damage after all

[hasty tinsel]

Scarab because the damage over time is scaled on your health, not shields.

[left ore]

does reduce shield?

[mellow crystal]

Yes

[left ore]

what's the best strategy to not get my shit rocked then

[mellow crystal]

^

I think you're overestimating how bad the self-damage is even with transcendence

[left ore]

i mean by enemies

[mellow crystal]

Ah

[left ore]

im trying false son on monsoon and trying to get that achievement with it

i like doing all achievement runs (even though i've died twice now, once to false son instakill bs and another time to void jailer)

[mellow crystal]

Honestly I'd say it's safest to just wait to get the trans + glass pair
Like, keep doing your run normally, and once you think you have enough damage items, grab trans + glass then immediately go for the achievement

[left ore]

question about that

are you able to get the achievement by doing it to a horde of enemies

e.g. 100,000% to 5 enemies

[mellow crystal]

Yup yup

[clear whale]

Shield cannot regen during combat

All shield regens for 2s after 7s of not getting hit

(Getting hit while having barrier still counts as a hit, so just dodge)

[left ore]

why does the halcyon shrine sometimes randomly stop?

[mellow crystal]

Do you have money for it

[left ore]

wait so not having enough money makes it permanently stop?

[mellow crystal]

If it's permanently stopping it's probably that weird position glitch

[left ore]

it permanently stopped, spawned the halcyonite and portal, and nothing else at around 1/3

[mellow crystal]

Basically for some reason, sometimes, halc shrines will have one specific spot where standing there stops it from properly detecting that you're inside the shrine's radius
The easiest way to fix this from what I can tell is to leave the radius for like 20s then re-enter it

[mellow crystal]

Oh that's because you interacted with it

If you interact with it to "Pray to the Halcyon Shrine" then it ends early but rewards you with less items

[left ore]

gotcha

[left ore]

what items give barrier

[hoary sedge]

is the most reliable source, but unstable transmitter and all give some (in decreasing order of consistency)

if you're on seeker you'll probably get more barrier from your abilities than your items unless you have like or (with a lot of other healing)

[thorn shell]

What are the best items to build for false son?

[slim spoke]

infusion, steak (yes steak) and stone pauldron (again yes, the that everyone despises)

[mellow crystal]

Aside from that mostly burst and melee

[left ore]

anything that gives hp

[wet bison]

how to the skale?

[left ore]

hyperbolic

[wet bison]

i know but in %

[left ore]

elaborate as to what you mean

[wet bison]

with 10 you have 60 % change to trigger the block how does it continues

[fresh umbra]

https://riskofrain2.wiki.gg/wiki/Tougher_Times

[wet bison]

thx

[junior girder]

hey do i have to fight mithrix to progress eclipse, or do i have the option of fighting the false son?

[fallen bridge]

you must fight mithrix to end the run but you can still visit fs

[junior girder]

how do i do that? false son first?

[frosty reef]

Has anyone seen reports of s1 green portal taking you to prime meridian?

Just got like 2 reports of it (ensured it was vanilla)

[brittle shuttle]

Been a few reports like that

Happening on multiple stages not just stage 1

[frosty reef]

Cool. Yeah we've collected 3 instances so far. Similar speedrun strats were used back in the day so not the first time this game has experienced stage duping

Devs could already be aware but I'll help send it down the chain

[brittle shuttle]

in ss2cord

[frosty reef]

Yup, follows suit of the other instances. Hitting one exit, then another

[brittle shuttle]

Wow! I cant wait to play my risky rain 2 run!
Err! Wrong! False son!

[primal vector]

Since several instances of this have been spotted and they are not modded, I would suggest to post this in the bug report channek

Oh, already exist

Well, posting multiple instances of it may help solving it

[frosty reef]

I've sent it to race, he's able to bring it to them directly if they aren't already aware from the reports

[primal vector]

I am worried for the controllers not working on PC. Several people on Steam forums are complaining and have sent tickets to T2 tech support, but the issue doesnt seem to be recognized as different from the Xbox one and people are not getting responses

Its bad that people cannot play the game after the update. I had the bug and could fix it by disabling steam inpuck, but others are not so lucky

[glacial knoll]

If there's an actual stage load error in vanilla that'd be pretty bad not sure what else could cause the colossus skip

[brittle shuttle]

Intentional move by gearbox to force people to learn how to fight the boss

[slim spoke]

if this is real, im leaving yo

[brittle shuttle]

leave

[slim spoke]

but hey
qwp would be livid if he found out theres a new false warp in mario oddysey ror2

[smoky heron]

what are some go-to items for REX? like the best priority items to have

[lavish jacinth]

proc items and multipliers are good as always, but are especially noteworthy on rex

[analog brook]

Nah I'm watching from a distance carefully

[lavish jacinth]

you should also avoid items that lose their effect on hit or require not taking damage, like etc

[smoky heron]

i see thanks

[onyx plume]

Just trying out railgunner. What are some of the good lunar and void items on railgunner?

[lavish jacinth]

mostly just the usual good stuff stuff, etc..
are sorta debatable as RG likes having the AoE from uke and atg synergizes really well with the high proc coeff on her specials, but both are still really good

oh and is good with cryocharge

[onyx plume]

are there more lunar items i should look out for?

i played loader so i think all good void items on loader are pmuch the same for rail

but idk about lunar all that much about lunar

[lavish jacinth]

I mean, depends on your run, most lunars can be strong but are situational

like, is great, but only if you're good at not getting hit

gesture is kinda the only one I'd confidently say is nearly always good

would all be in the 'good if it suits your run' category ig, at least for railgunner specifically

can sometimes be decent on her too

[onyx plume]

alr thank you

[left ore]

what does increase for CHEF?

[fallen bridge]

icebox release rate, roll charge speed, & how fast dice cleavers are thrown

i don't know how it affects sear & glaze though

[left ore]

are you able to get chef's alt m2 against false son or does it have to be against mithrix?

[fallen bridge]

mm i think against mithrix only

[left ore]

damn

[left ore]

is it possible to have negative armor?

[dusky raven]

Yes, that’s what and do

And a couple of other things

Mostly like cripple

[left ore]

does chef have a false son skin?

[lavish jacinth]

no

[lavish jacinth]

in addition to what pink said, sear hits more times, and iirc glaze just shoots all of its blobs faster

[left ore]

gotcha

does oil spill give the same debuff as glaze?

[lavish jacinth]

the oiled debuff is the same but I don't think it applies weaken

[left ore]

does it work for the bison achievement?

(also why the fuck did a bison just spawn in stage 1??)

[lavish jacinth]

they can spawn on shattered abodes

[left ore]

huh

[honest badger]

yes

[left ore]

uh one last question for now

with chef's bison achievement, do you have to actually kill the bison with sear or do you just have to land glaze then sear with an optional cleaver throw

i dont really know how to phrase this question

[lavish jacinth]

I think you just do the glaze/sear combo

[left ore]

are you able to get the "light the final boss aflame 20 times" achievement using ignition tank?

[honest badger]

yes

[left ore]

mithrix is trembling i have 15 purity and 3 ignition tanks

[honest badger]

you can do it itemless

[left ore]

i know but it's fun to stack 100 stacks of flame using purity spam

[proven dragon]

does seed of life stack with multiple equipment charges like will i have multiple revives?

[left ore]

nope, after using one it turns into the expended version which just creates a healing orb dropping tree

[proven dragon]

damn okay thanks for letting me know ‼️

[outer sierra]

was multiplayer fixed at all?

[polar rose]

Ok so I did a command Chef run and I was picking up a lot of fire items but I don't actually know if they're more useful on him so like, what are some good chef builds? Doesn't have to be command I just wanna learn how to be good at chef cause he seems really fun

[mellow crystal]

He likes procs, especially since there's a bug rn that makes boosted dice have a 16x2.25 proc coeff 😭
Aside from that you mostly just want damage and movespeed if you're running oil spill (sprint speed works too since oil spill forces sprint)

You honestly kinda wanna build him like artificer if she preferred procs instead of burst

[polar rose]

Lots of proc?
My ATG/Plasma Shrimp obsession is coming in... Han-D

[fallen bridge]

atg is arguably better than plimp on chef now, esp since the proc co is bugged

[polar rose]

That's good to know!
Also Acrid question, I've been told by one friend that Blight is bad, but my other friend loves blight, so is it a preference or is one worse/better?

[fallen bridge]

yah blight is ... pretty bad

[mellow crystal]

Yeah it sucks

[fallen bridge]

poison is one of the best dot's in the game so blight just can't compare

less dps than bleed & doesn't reset upon stacking either

[polar rose]

Can't wait to see my friend be in total shock😭

[left ore]

what do i do if all of my friends' data just got wiped

they opened risk of rain and now all of their characters and artifacts are gone for some reason

[lavish jacinth]

make sure they're on the right ingame profile

[mellow crystal]

Check to see if they're on the right profile

[left ore]

they are

[lavish jacinth]

but if it really did get wiped somehow, they can use the realercheatunlocks mod to get their progress back

[left ore]

1. does shaped glass affect false son's lunar spike count?
2. does stone flux pauldron apply before or after infusion + leveling?

[mellow crystal]

1. Ye
2. After iirc

[midnight leaf]

whats the best way to get the pressure plate with loader pylon? i just cant seem to get it consistently and its really annoying

[wet bison]

Wich is better for bandit desperato or lights out

[mellow crystal]

Desperado overall

[rich vessel]

i am trying to unlock seekers of the storm skins (just got the dlc) do i need to beat false son on moonsoon dificulty?

[slim spoke]

no

[hazy thicket]

does anyone have an image of the little logbooks that sometimes drop from monsters and add to your logbook entries in the menu?

please i need it for a project

[abstract crescent]

what does "an unusual energy emanates from below" mean
currently in the newt shop
there is a chance its a mod thing, but I havent seen this before

[abstract crescent]

nvm, I found it

[lavish jacinth]

It's always a little annoying and inconsistent, but I've found the best way is to stand back far enough that the pylon slows down right above the button, rather than throwing it directly at it

[marble magnet]

Actually another question

I'm very sure it has but

Palm blast is like

Fixed right?

[primal vector]

It says so in the patch

And noone has said otherwise

[marble magnet]

Oki

[fleet quail]

why tf does the game reset my settings every update

[glacial knoll]

gearbox blunder but they fixed it going forward

[lavish jacinth]

if you wanna get more pics of these yourself btw, I just used debugtoolkit + photomode mods

[hazy thicket]

omg thank you so much

[iron otter]

Is it me or does the game feel a bit harder after the update?

[iron otter]

i feel like it scales faster

[lavish jacinth]

fresh profile with no logbook progress, and 100 clovers for near-guaranteed logbook drops

[hazy thicket]

i got a pic of it earlier actually in the void fields

so i thought it was purple

[lavish jacinth]

I didn't notice a difference, but I've only played a little bit since the patch

the only thing in the patch notes that would make the game harder is that stuns no longer stack

[midnight leaf]

thanks!

[left ore]

does aurelionite have to land the finishing blow to unlock Meridian's Will?

[lavish jacinth]

yeah

[quasi crystal]

any recommendations on how to find the button locations fast on the second moon?

google said 8 possible locations that the 2 randomize to

but we just spent 15m or so tryna find them

[frosty reef]

can look up how to roll pots ror2 on YT, locations are all shown at the beginning

[quasi crystal]

ahaha how funny, i don't need the pots, love how that's where the locations are

thanks cap

[quasi crystal]

found em thanks to you! also, you have a really nice voice

nice self promo

[barren pasture]

Does the +5% crit chance from Shatterspleen stack like Lens Maker’s or is it just the damage?

[daring cloak]

Just the death explosion damage

Only lens makers stacks crit chance

Well and irradiant pearls

[barren pasture]

Okay, thanks

[upper trellis]

is there any info on dlc3 release date

[steady stone]

generally "2025" i believe

or, that's what is being aimed for

[karmic tusk]

im playing chef and i have 17 backup magazines but i cant get the 20 burn stack, can someone help?

[steady stone]

Attack speed changes how many burn stacks get applied

+100% atk speed should be enough

[karmic tusk]

i have that too

[steady stone]

+100%? each syringe is 15%

[karmic tusk]

i have 12 mochas

[steady stone]

that should be 90%, 7.5*12

[karmic tusk]

i have 1 predatory instinct

so its like 102%

or does the burn not crit

[steady stone]

well it would be only if it does crit fully, just keep stacking atk speed and you should get it
would make it easy

[karmic tusk]

alr thanks

[lavish jacinth]

with how those attacks usually work, you'd have to get the predatory buff first and then use sear while you have it

[woven reef]

How do i get better at commando? i always do too little damage at stage 3-4

[lavish jacinth]

focus on dodging and kiting enemies

commando's dps leaves a lot to be desired unless you get an early god run, so a lot of commando gameplay tends to be about survival while dealing steady damage

[frosty reef]

a lot of people play mando as a ranged character but the damage fall off at range is really rough. he's more of a close to mid range character to get max attack damage. play around focus crystals

[steady stone]

he has relatively low starting power, but has some of the highest potential in the game
the better YOU get at looting, the better commando gets

[woven reef]

So its alot of dodging and a lil bit of luck

[steady stone]

not quite luck, he goes well with most items in the game

[lavish jacinth]

he's so basic that a lot of his power just comes from your skill as a player, you're not gonna get carried by your character like you would with Seeker or whatever

so he's mostly about fundamental stuff like looting efficiently, movement, prioritizing enemies, and generally not dying

[steady stone]

it's how good you are at being efficient more than how good the items themselves are

commando and huntress are well rounded for most items, being the starter 2

[lavish jacinth]

he's item dependent but also works with pretty much anything, the only thing his kit really lacks is strong burst damage

and you can make up for that with if you're into that sort of thing

oh yeah, and if you haven't already, at least unlock his alt utility

[steady stone]

the base one isnt unusable either
i use it, it works fine

but yeah, the alt is better in distance

[lavish jacinth]

alt secondary is also really good, alt special is whatever but nice to have

[steady stone]

suppressive fire is your ace, since it stuns
they just indirectly nerfed it heavily though

[lavish jacinth]

roll is fine, but almost everything roll can do, slide can do better

[steady stone]

no more infinite stuns on things

[karmic tusk]

i got 13 syringes, 14 mochas and 22 backup magazines, still no 20x burn stack like ???

[lavish jacinth]

both of his specials are pretty mediocre but they're good enough if used right

[steady stone]

13 should be more than enough. just use your secondary into something with enough health and make sure to hit it all

the hitbox is very very long so it's easy to hit

[woven reef]

k thanks

[lavish jacinth]

it has to be done against mithrix, so health shouldn't be an issue lol

but yeah, make sure you're landing every possible hit

[karmic tusk]

oh wait it HAS to be done against mithrix?

[lavish jacinth]

yeah

"As CHEF apply 20 stacks of Burn at once to Mithrix."

[karmic tusk]

ok well i feel stupid now

thanks tho 😭

[karmic tusk]

i thought it was on any enemy

ok for my next question: can bisons spawn on scorched acres ?

[steady stone]

No

they would probably just run off the map anyway

[lavish jacinth]

they only appear on a few maps

[karmic tusk]

ok thanks

[lapis abyss]

What's the R skill do on Seeker?

I can't seem to know on how to activate their skill

[fallen bridge]

it's a little minigame where you have to press wasd (or whatever your movement keys are) to execute a blast & gain a buff

[steady stone]

Meditate, do 5 inputs via wasd as directionals, unleash an explosion, heal, and gain a stack of tranquility when complete

like w, a, s, d

tranquility stacks give a 1% bonus to all stats

when you GET to 7 stacks, revive a teammate

oh, and it heals and gives barrier

[lapis abyss]

Ohh

What's the max stack of tranquility?

[fallen bridge]

7

[steady stone]

7

[lapis abyss]

Okay, thanks

[sly zodiac]

Blast or Burst for bandit whats better

[copper sable]

which is which again

i forgot names

[fresh umbra]

Blast is single shot, burst is spread

[copper sable]

ah

doesnt it depend on if you choose desperado or lights out

[mellow crystal]

They're both roughly equal but promote different playstyles
If you don't wanna change up how you currently play bandit then run burst

[hoary sedge]

they're close enough that you can pick the one you just like more and be fine. burst has higher dps and proc rate (assuming you land most of the pellets), blast has better range and stronger individual procs

i like burst more bc the bloom on blast feels kinda awkward to work around (you really have to pace your shots to hit stuff remotely far away)

[frosty reef]

burst when you get a

[polar rose]

So is Stone Flux Pauldron just completely bad on everyone?(Except False Son cause of how lunar temperance works)

[lavish jacinth]

it's sometimes alright on loader, grapple isn't affected by move speed so as long as she can keep grappling it doesn't have much downside for her

but yeah it's usually pretty bad

[polar rose]

Is Light Flux just as bad? I saw like one video of a guy saying "wait this is good on Railgunner m2" and his friends called him dumb😭

[lavish jacinth]

ironically, one of the best reasons to take it is on super long runs if you pick up too much move speed and can't control your character anymore

[lavish jacinth]

well it sucks on railgunner m2

but it's actually decent on survivors that don't care much about attack speed

like Acrid gets a lot out of it

7 syringes also gets you back to base attack speed so it's not too hard to compensate for, although you do still have the 0.5x multiplier

[steady stone]

do we have footage of unfinished HAN-D before this patch? i want to check something

[lavish jacinth]

what did you want to check?

I don't have any footage of it but I was messing around with han-d not too long ago

[steady stone]

he seems... different
i know for SURE brotherglassmaster is different after this patch

they changed him to this

but he seems more polished? i might be schizophrenic

nothing else seems changed as far as i can see though, but i also dont want to upload a clip of HAN-D incase he is actually different

because if he is, that would go to preston, not here

[mellow crystal]

It would be really silly if the AC final boss ended up using the glass mithrix clone or smth

[steady stone]

i dont like that he has his dogs out

[orchid vale]

final boss name got leaked by gearbox themselves and i can assure you it will not lol

[steady stone]

i cant find the old image, but brotherglassmaster used to ACTUALLY be glass before this

like the glass in the Bazaar

[lavish jacinth]

yeah, I remember that

iirc he just looked like mithrix but with a transparent effect, more or less

[steady stone]

Yes, found it.
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/559901542787055636/1350198433314767053/Risk_of_Rain_2_03-14-2025_16-4-10-766.mp4?ex=6845ed47&is=68449bc7&hm=f9c3a67feb4da28740cf78489f9e631cf5e39ac7e969987d10e024168bc646cf&

If you do find a clip of old HAN-D though, do @ me

[graceful dust]

since when did they change the glass version

[steady stone]

like, this patch

[lavish jacinth]

trying him right now, visually I don't think anything has changed but his attacks seem different, I don't remember the weird hook attack on his secondary. But maybe my memory just sucks lol

[steady stone]

that's also my problem

[graceful dust]

very odd

[steady stone]

i dont remember his m1 working, and the m2 has a weird homing effect

[graceful dust]

it never had a hook attack

[steady stone]

i think the only attack that DOESNT work is his shift now

[lavish jacinth]

his m1 always worked

[steady stone]

but his m2 i feel definitely didnt have that unique homing?

like spawn a beetle, see what it does

[lavish jacinth]

the way I remember it, his m2 used to not do anything, and his utility just gave the frenzy buff I think?

yeah, there's some weird homing on the secondary

[steady stone]

that's definitely very unique AI, i feel like that wouldnt be there on an early scrap

[graceful dust]

If I remember, there is like a yt video about like

stuff in the debug panels

[lavish jacinth]

good to see that tofu enforcer hasn't changed

[steady stone]

this is old
https://www.reddit.com/r/riskofrain/comments/uobm31/some_footage_of_unused_survivors_within_risk_of/

it looks kinda like the hook AI is more polished but generally similar

that hook missed the first wisp so hard

oh yeah, HAN-D is at 1:50

[lavish jacinth]

huh

[graceful dust]

are yall just coping for to come back

[lavish jacinth]

I totally forgot about the hook thing I guess

[steady stone]

tbh i was seeing if anything WAS actually different, but it's hard to approach
posting anything that IS new would be releasing unreleased content, anything i found would be going to preston anyway
i already saw that glassbody was different, so who knows what else

[lavish jacinth]

If they did bring back han-d, I think it's more likely that they'd start fresh like they did with bandit, instead of trying to change the ancient early beta version

[graceful dust]

I tried like some debug stuff after the patch, none of them seemed to have changed

well expect glass

[steady stone]

majorconstruct is also like, completely finished, but im assumign that was always like that

[lavish jacinth]

it wouldn't even surprise me if the glass change was unintentional, they could've just broken the visual effect while changing something else

[steady stone]

cool thing where under half health he gets really tall

[orchid vale]

majorconstruct was always like that yes

iirc the reason they cut it is because it didn't really offer all that much in terms of enemy variety. its just a beefier alpha construct that gets taller ??? at half health

[lavish jacinth]

it asserts dominance

[orchid vale]

true

still think its funny that the bug that made it able to spawn in the reliquary wasn't patched until SoTS

[steady stone]

twice

[orchid vale]

his ghost forever haunts the reliquary

[graceful dust]

new air conditioner dlc bug: bandbitbody spotted roaming around reliquary

[steady stone]

potmobile...

[graceful dust]

🚙

[orchid vale]

im still peeved about them (kind of) scrapping the warden

[steady stone]

who was warden?

ive never seen them rummaging thru their console

[orchid vale]

concept survivor that never got past the art phase

[graceful dust]

the one that uses blue bug model?

[steady stone]

That's paladin

Rocket m1, puts up a shield with m2

[graceful dust]

mb

[graceful dust]

looks like something outta gulp hostile worlds

[orchid vale]

its funny because his kit somewhat carried over to Void Fiend with the energy management

[graceful dust]

but he cool as hell

[lavish jacinth]

we oughtta bring back this doofus so that we can laugh at him

[orchid vale]

it was an experiment by hopoo to see if they could rely on outside artists for survivor concepts

crackpot theory is he was scrapped for the same reason HAN-D was (melee characters cant fight flying enemies ???)

[lavish jacinth]

I thought they said they scrapped han-d and miner because heavy-hitting melee brawlers were too similar to acrid and loader

[steady stone]

tbf HAN-D could only hit flying with his hook in his current state

and that's weak, meant to be a gimmick id assume

but making it so that the enemy cant get far away would be a debuff if anything

[orchid vale]

could also be why. they did say in a dev vlog that the flying enemies was one of the reasons

[steady stone]

maybe if it exploded like grovetender or meathook, it might be viable antiair

[orchid vale]

iirc it was 17 (?)

[steady stone]

and it hooked them together and not to HAN-D

preston, take notes

[orchid vale]

preston is always watching

I honestly would like to see the major construct see a return in some way

I think the bug that caused it to spawn is funny enough to just make it part of the reliquary

it fits the theme too

[lavish jacinth]

they could at least pay homage by putting a dead one in there or something

[steady stone]

mm, like colossus

[orchid vale]

that would be nice

[orchid vale]

i didnt even know miner was considered wtf

i know they ported a majority of ror1's survivors at the very least more than likely just to get an idea of what they want for variety

[steady stone]

all of the most popular character mods all just, kind of existed yeah

enforcer, hand, miner

thats why theyre so popular

paladin, albeit nowhere near the beta

[orchid vale]

i know they kept the unused RoR1 Bandit just for the modders

[lavish jacinth]

they talked about it during the survivor vote leading up to 1.0

[orchid vale]

oh yeah

[glacial knoll]

It's just part of giving every single enemy a skin they just messed up glass mithrix

[steady stone]

giving every enemy a skin?

[glacial knoll]

every enemy now uses skins so they can unload their models

they just set the wrong materials for glass mithrix is all

Similiar thing happened with SotV where Beetles got skins and Ally Beetle Guards used the wrong skin

and then they didn't end up using the beetle skin anyways

[steady stone]

ah, is that why there's like 2 beetles in the unused areas that are like, stretched wrong? super low poly?

or are those like, early design experiments

[glacial knoll]

No Sulfur Pools was meant to have different Beetles

No idea what Crystal Beetle and Beetle Guard are

[steady stone]

oh, so just a base i would assume

it's literally just their counterpart but like, so little sides that you can count them

[glacial knoll]

the 3 final bosses, crystal mithrix, beetle and beetle guard

the this

weird green and shiny but fully functional beyond Beetle Queen minions not copying the skin

Hopoo probably just didn't quite like the final look which is why it was cut

[trim lynx]

ooh i like these iridescent beetles

[orchid vale]

another reason why they cut this is they probably would've blended in too well with the lighting of that stage especially when you're looping and you have malachites/celestines riding up your ass

clarity for clarity's sake

[trim lynx]

true

[round crane]

which one is the aqueduct something stage?

[gritty galleon]

Neither of those are Abandoned Aqueducts

The left looks similar, but it’s the Aphelian Sanctuary from SOTV
Right side is Wetland Aspect

[round crane]

ok

[gritty galleon]

Are environmental logs counted towards 100% in the logbook now? I know they weren’t before but i have my doubts that 1 item will give me the last 4% I need

[jade vortex]

Yes

[merry field]

Hey guys

I’m really struggling to find the halcyon shrine in the reformed alter

[tardy rampart]

does anyone have a good setup to get false son alt utility unlocked

keep having way too much damage and just killing mithrix before aurelionite can kill him

[hoary sedge]

I did a full on-kill build with and just make sure the doll you use to kill phase 3 is far enough away from the center of the arena

[amber raft]

if i go to the bazaar at stage 6, will void fields be stage 7?

[nocturne sierra]

It’s a chance for a halcyon shrine to spawn in the reformed alter, so there’s a chance it’s not there

[clear meteor]

Modded Multiplayer problem: There’s an issue in modded multiplayer where one player spawns in normal but the other is a random object that dies within the first few seconds of the game. Is it a certain mod we have installed that’s causing this issue?

[lavish jacinth]

Probably, the game just got an update so some mods might be broken for a while

Hard to know which one it is, #ror2-modding might be able to help but you'll probably just have to turn stuff off until it works

[clear meteor]

Got it, thanks

[coarse cipher]

what is the best way to do the bandit 20 bleed stack achievement?

[lavish jacinth]

Backstab alloy worship unit a bunch, backup mags help but are optional

Aurelionite works too

[left ore]

how long is it usually between dlc announce and dlc release

[high forum]

there's no consistent metric yet

SotV was 3 months from announce to release and SotS was 10 months

[coarse cipher]

how they are optional? i guess theres not any other way to apply 20 stacks of bleed at once, no?

[lavish jacinth]

it's hemorrhage, not bleed
his secondary is guaranteed to apply it when it gets a crit, and hemorrhage lasts 15s and the timer resets when a new stack is added like bleed does

so getting 20 stacks is super easy, the hard part is just finding a boss that can tank that much damage, hence AWU

backup mags just make the process go faster but you don't need 20 of them

plus you can use lights out to refresh them

[coarse cipher]

so u mean like if i get 10 lens glasses, 5 backup i alr should be able to make it?

[lavish jacinth]

you don't need lenses either, just get backstabs

[coarse cipher]

ok ok

[lavish jacinth]

you can stand on top of AWU to get them easily

[obtuse plank]

hey, is there a new chef guide post update? looking to pick him up but was hoping there'd be a guide i can watch/read

[sinful owl]

how many of which item should I get to unlock the wax quail?

assuming I use command

[lavish jacinth]

Energy drink, elusive antlers and red whip give the biggest stackable speed buffs, 3-4 of each would probably do it. Or just 12 energy drinks

It's really not that hard to get

[sinful owl]

🫡 thank you friend

[copper sable]

energy drinks 🤑

i remember i accidentally got it way back one time by having like 7 red whips

[pastel epoch]

question for Ocular Hud. if i'm playing DIABLO captain, should i be activating the hud when im placing the laser strikes down or right before the strike hits?

[lavish jacinth]

I think it has to be active while placing the strike

[pastel epoch]

and does Noxious Thorn's bleed application work differently than Tri-tip's? I know Tri-tip's chance and duration are both effected by proc chance, but it at times feels like Thorn's is not. Also, can one hit activate both?

[lavish jacinth]

I know you can't activate both at once, as far as I know thorn is functionally identical to 1 stack of tritip

[honest badger]

imagine there's a bleed chance stat, tri tip and noxious both increase it

[granite quartz]

does the game get harder after it reaches " ahahhahahahahaha" or it stops there ?

[nocturne sierra]

I’m pretty sure the new text stops but I’m pretty sure it always continues to get more difficult

[steady stone]

It caps at lvl99

with the exception of things that use Special Scaling, a formula that incorporates time

[fallen bridge]

(the final bosses continue to scale past lvl 99 but those are the only exceptions)

[steady stone]

can't forget about void rats for some reason

the real final boss

[onyx plume]

why doesn't my railgunner cryocharge (special) execute beetle queen which was under 30% health?

and it doesn't seem to freeze?

[lavish jacinth]

bosses are immune to freeze

except mithrix and false son, inexplicably

[lavish jacinth]

director credits keep increasing with no upper limit though, so the game will continue to spawn harder enemies in larger amounts

its only their stats that get capped at level 99

[left herald]

yo anyone else noticing that halc shrines aren't giving the guaranteed 3 sots items?

[mellow crystal]

Did you complete it early but praying to the shrine

[left herald]

nope

[simple lark]

are the developers working on cross play? or is my information wrong

[lavish jacinth]

devs haven't said anything about it, so probably not

[simple lark]

damn, i swear companies hate making money, all games should be cross play

doesn’t help sony gets in the way most times

[lavish jacinth]

and they've had bigger priorities to work on lately so it's unlikely that it'll happen any time soon, if ever

[simple lark]

yea that makes sense

what have they been working on

[clear whale]

you have to translate some stuff before getting crossplay to work

[lavish jacinth]

first it was rebuilding the console ports to actually be functional, then working on SotS, then reworking SotS to not be terrible

and now they've got another DLC in the works

[simple lark]

yea my friend said they had to rework SotS

[honest badger]

they've apparently been working on both at the same time

[simple lark]

sorry wrong reply

[honest badger]

dlc work started last year

[simple lark]

working on both dlc’s?

[honest badger]

working on one dlc while fixing the other

[lavish jacinth]

either way, they've had a lot of stuff to work on besides crossplay

[simple lark]

also my colleges wifi won’t even let me play online

[simple lark]

that makes sense

i’ll let my friends know 🙏🏼

[deep epoch]

Trying to get the environment logs of the golden dieback, treeborn colony and disturbed impact but they seem to never spawn, is it bugged or am I very unlucky, it has been days...

[hexed jewel]

lowk forgot all of those but yk the stage 1 where bison can spawn, part of the sots dlc, the variant of it is glitched

disturbed impact is what its called but i think the other ones arent glitched

[calm island]

Does lunar ruin have a cap?

[mellow crystal]

Nope
Go wild

I don't think any stackable debuff has a cap, other than the integer limit

[nocturne sierra]

Tbh I have the same issue with just disturbed impact even after they “fixed it”, so I don’t think it’s just you, or we are both unlucky

[deep epoch]

Two unlucky boys in a cruel world...

[glacial knoll]

tree born and dieback are bugged disturbed isnt

[fierce bluff]

Why was the "better gameplay" mod deleted?in the mods description it says that it was deleted due to harassment, but I highly doubt that the harassment came out of nowhere.

[clear whale]

risk of rain community arent exactly the brightest

also never heard of that mod before

is it like really old

[lavish jacinth]

Do you mean betterui by any chance? It was replaced by lookingglass

[fierce bluff]

BetterGameplay by XoXFaby

[lavish jacinth]

Oh

Never even heard of that

But I've heard xoxfaby was kinda problematic within the modding community

[granite quartz]

im at the ||obelisk and theres a portal beside it , where does it take me ? i dont have the beeds so i can only obliterate ||

sac swarm command…

Hey is there a glitch on steam where it doesn't give you achievements?

I've completed many of the achievements related to the 2nd DLC and they didn't register

I was playing with a friend(unmodded) is that maybe why?

[lavish jacinth]

you got the unlocks for them ingame though?

or was it the actual unlock that didn't register

I don't know of any bugs that keep the steam achievements from registering but that doesn't mean they don't exist, might be worth a #1172187541349347429

[stark wolf]

hey does purity lessen the chance of the CHEF to burn my enemies ?

i really wanna know

anyone ?

[high forum]

for Sear?

[stark wolf]

Yes the burn inficted by Sear

[high forum]

I don't think the proc chance is 1.0, so yes, Purity would lessen the chance

[stark wolf]

okayy

thxx

[high forum]

you're welcome!

[round crane]

hi

[leaden field]

it actually is

[stark wolf]

so purity wouldn't have an effect ?

the bad side of purity that lessens proc

rate

[leaden field]

it shouldn't affect it

[stark wolf]

i mean i'll try it

[leaden field]

purity doesn't lessen proc, it lessens luck

which affects luck based things like atg

[stark wolf]

okayyy

thanks a lot

[high forum]

ooooh ror2 wiki strikes again! i always use the wrong one

[leaden field]

wiki gg supremacy

[high forum]

fr fr

[leaden field]

does the fandom wiki really not have this updated yet, oof

[high forum]

you can think of luck almost like a coin flip. if you have +1 luck, it's an extra coin flip, and the game will choose the 'good' option (the effect procs), and if you have -1 luck, there's an extra coin flip and the game will choose the 'bad' option (no effect procs)

[leaden field]

sheesh, it doesn't

[high forum]

yeah, it says .6, so i thought that was correct

[leaden field]

I think it got changed to 1.0 with the phase 3 update

[high forum]

but since it's 1.0 proc chance, no matter which option the game chooses, the effect wil proc :)

[leaden field]

what a great wiki the fandom one is

😭

[daring cloak]

HOW DO YOU PUT ? ON THE COOLDOWN

[leaden field]

LMAO

no hate to the fandom wiki people who maintain it but man this wiki should really just be let go

[daring cloak]

Is the false son page still fucked?

[nocturne sierra]

Dude the child page when sots first came out was outrageous,

Btw what is ror2’s game engine?

[peak jacinth]

unity

[lavish jacinth]

it needs hlep

[daring cloak]

😭

[lavish jacinth]

what I really don't get is that sometimes the info on fandom is actually better, like the giant essays explaining exactly how sojourn or FS's club work

I have to zoom out to fit all of it on screen thanks to fandom's amazing formatting lol

like why would you take the time to write all of this and then only put it on the inferior wiki

[mellow crystal]

What the fuck 😭

[warm garnet]

given the phrasing of Protein Heavy Diet, i assume that i need to gain an additional 40 spikes from growth and only growth, does this mean i need 10436 bonus health?

and i take it that health from leveling up does not help me here

[primal vector]

It helps

Even "temporary hp" like the one from nectar

[lavish jacinth]

not directly, but it can help if you get a %health increase like stone flux

[lavish jacinth]

also congratulations on being one of the few people who actually read the unlock requirement carefully lol

[leaden field]

the most imoprtant thing is that you can't use backup mags

[warm garnet]

yeah i figured thats what it meant though i also checked wiki to make sure, wanted to confirm here before i actually deal with it

[lavish jacinth]

there have been SO many people who assume that you need just 40 total charges on your secondary, and then they think the unlock is bugged because they didn't get it

I get where the confusion comes from since growth itself isn't super clear as a mechanic, but still

[quasi topaz]

When I did this i got about 9.3k hp and it was done

[warm garnet]

it unfortunately does specify through growth, though apparently not specified well enough

[vagrant wyvern]

anyone knows why i cant start a new game when i open the game through the mods?

i click on singleplayer but nothing happens, same with multiplayer etc

if i run it normally it works just fine

[lavish jacinth]

do you have crossplay enabled?

also are your mods all up to date?

not being able to start a game is a somewhat common crossplay bug, but the game also had an update so some mods may be broken for a while

[vagrant wyvern]

where can i check this?

[lavish jacinth]

first page of settings

[vagrant wyvern]

i just turned it on, gonna restart now

[lavish jacinth]

no, turn it off

[vagrant wyvern]

ohh okay lmao

it didnt work when i had it turned off tho

[lavish jacinth]

crossplay is buggy as hell and there's zero reason to ever use it lol

[lavish jacinth]

then it's probably one of your mods being broken

[vagrant wyvern]

ah dang, is there an easy way to check which mod it is?

[lavish jacinth]

I don't think so, but #ror2-modding might be able to help

[vagrant wyvern]

alright thankls

[steady stone]

is the providence laser during FS fight still bugged to not reset scaling?

[lavish jacinth]

no, they fixed that

[steady stone]

🙏

[thorny steeple]

did they ever nerf the void fog in void fields

[lavish jacinth]

yeah

[steady stone]

if i disable the DLC via the right side of the character select, it stops the DLC stage pool from appearing right?

[lavish jacinth]

yep

[glass cedar]

Does anyone know if the Wisp, Aphelian, and Tar researches are just random chances or is it based after what artifact you go too?

[onyx plume]

im doing a voidling run as railgunner mult duo and there is a sentient meat hook in stage 3 shop. Is this item worth getting for 5 green scraps as our comp?

If so, who should take it? kinda hard to decide for us because mult can for sure proc it more but the TOTAL DAMAGE attribute is better on railgunner

[lavish jacinth]

meat hook is probably worth it, you could have mul-t take it and then have railgunner take uke in the future if it shows up

when meat hook procs, enemies hit by it get pulled towards the one that was hit initially, sorta like a black hole. But the effect is only really noticeable with a high enough proc rate

so mul-t may get more value out of it because of that

[onyx plume]

ooo okok

[lavish jacinth]

I'd say there's no wrong answer though

[lavish jacinth]

it's just random

[flint reef]

hey, ive just picked up ror2 for pc about an hour ago. i don't have much experience with this kind of game. can someone with some experience please sum up the goal of the game, and what you enjoy doing the most when you play? also is it better with friends?

[glass cedar]

Thank you

[lavish jacinth]

There isn't really a predetermined 'goal' for the game, but for most people it's trying to unlock everything. But even once you do it can still be fun to do runs just for the sake of it

the whole idea of a roguelike is that it's slightly different every time you play, so there's a ton of replay value in trying stuff out and seeing what kinds of runs you get

[flint reef]

ty ty

[lavish jacinth]

'better with friends' is kinda subjective, the game is mostly designed around singleplayer and it can be fun on your own, but some people also hate playing solo and only do MP

there isn't really a "right" way to play the game tbh, just whatever you end up finding the most fun

[steady stone]

the ticks for FS (boss) laser arent many, but each one has high damage right? so planula wouldnt be good?

[lavish jacinth]

wiki says it's 250% every 0.5s, so yeah, planula wouldn't do much

and it can apply lunar ruin

[honest badger]

i think it also still ramps up in damage but that's probably not documented

we only know abt it because of the damage ramp bug from 1.3.5 or so

[lofty dagger]

is hacking in lunar coins broken rn

[honest badger]

uh, presumably not. it's just save editing

[lofty dagger]

huh

hasnt worked for me all dat

day

[honest badger]

sounds like you messed it up

[lofty dagger]

i made sure to save

and used the same method i used the last time i did it

which worked that time

[honest badger]

did you have the game open?

[agile crystal]

from expericne

you'll fight over loot alot 3+ and 4

2 is like the middle ground of MP

but yeah like he said, alot more tuned for solo

[winter remnant]

if you have people that can read fighting over items is not an issue

but then again it's ror2 players

[clear whale]

You have 2 choices in the base gamemode:

• Fight the final boss and win
• Aim for the longest run possible

This game promotes trying different playstyle and experimenting

[mellow crystal]

If you're in public multiplayer yea but usually anyone that's semi-competent knows how to share items

[clear whale]

Theres this chinese dude who hogged all the items

He died in stage 3 to a scorch wurm

[stark wolf]

hey i'm trying to get the ice ability from chef*

and stack 25 stacks of burn on mithrix

but the burns seems to leave really fast

anyone know how to do it ?

do i need the oil to make it last longer ?

[primal vector]

With magazines and attack speed you should get it easily

[slow compass]

a ton of Back up Mags and Attack speed is all you really need for it
i did a command run with 19 Mags and 20 Syringes just to make getting it as fast as possible

[nocturne sierra]

I have no clue if this works but you could use forgive me please, with lots of gasoline and a

[analog brook]

OOPS I MISREAD THIS

Thought you said "could you" and you were posing a question so I just said "yes" 💀

I mean idk if it works so it answers that, I tried it but I was also with a friend so idk who actually did teh burns

[livid scroll]

this is my build on false son but my laser of the father has 0 range help

Is REX's mastery skin just a recolour or? I haven't unlocked it but I swear it's just green REX

[glacial knoll]

Oki, seems a bit boring for my goat but that's fine

I actually had a look he also gets cool flowers

It's a flat texture but it is noticible

wish they made it so the running animation was different but he looks nice

[marble magnet]

:3 yay

Hoping this run will get me my mastery for him

Thanksss

[analog hinge]

is theres a list of items that can be stack at maximum?

[lavish jacinth]

These are all the items that have a hard cap, everything else can be stacked infinitely (although some things stack better than others)
10
10*
20*
25
254
3
20
127 (you die instantly at 128 stacks. Other health reductions like tonic affliction may affect this)
10*
65
200*
Chance doll: 7
Sonorous whispers: 96
-all passive minion-summoning items share a cap of 20 allies at a time. Players, drones, engineer turrets, and minions spawned by equipment count towards the ally cap but are not limited by it.
- etc. all ability cooldowns have a minimum of 0.5s
-Attack speed has a cap but it varies immensely for each ability, and the effects are inconsistent due to frame-rounding jank. You can generally just stop stacking AS whenever you stop noticing a difference.

*affected by proc coefficient, the cap will be higher with lower coeffs.

[analog hinge]

thanks for the info dude. Do you have a tier list items from good to bad?

[lavish jacinth]

not really, item tier lists are kinda hard to make in this game since it can vary by survivor and your current run

[spiral bridge]

guys for the achievement for chef... the one where i need to sear 10 bisons, does it all have to be in one run?

[lavish jacinth]

I've tried to make one that orders them by how useful they are but I ended up endlessly changing stuff and was never happy with it, I kept ending up with stuff like "this is usually pretty bad BUT really good in this one situation"

[lavish jacinth]

no, it can be done in multiple runs

[spiral bridge]

cool thanks 👍

[analog hinge]

aight aight thanks dude~

[autumn whale]

hey so when ever i play now i just keep getting looped on stage 2 maps and cant progress to mithrix or any specific stage thats not a stage 1 or 2 map, im trying to reinstall for the third time but has anyone else had this problem and have they fixed it?

[fast briar]

[Obligatory turn off crossplay here]

If it's not that or a mod messing up your game I have no idea

[left ore]

for bandit's desperado unlock does the kill have to be with the initial shot or do you still get the achievement if your items (such as kjaro's band or shatterspleen) kill it?

[lavish jacinth]

it has to be from the initial shot, although there's a very small grace period to allow for instant damage like to count

[left ore]

so and count?

would count either?

i'm not entirely familiar with how those three items work so

[lavish jacinth]

runald's would count, kjaro's would probably count for like the first tick of damage, but charged perf is definitely too delayed

idk how big the window is but the hit needs to be nearly simultaneous

basically just avoid any kind of proc item and focus on direct damage upgrades like etc

[onyx plume]

does voidling boss scale with how much we loop runs?

we are doing duo runs to voidling on rainstorm difficulty and having hard time reaching

not sure what the best route is...

do we just kill mithrix and go straight to voidling

[lavish jacinth]

yeah, special bosses like voidling have effectively infinite health scaling

the glass frog route is probably the easiest if you can kill mithrix consistently

[onyx plume]

what is glass frog route?

[lavish jacinth]

(ofc you'll also be scaling your own damage by picking up items along the way so it's not necessarily as bad as it sounds)

[lavish jacinth]

that's how you get to voidling from mithrix

[onyx plume]

what about damage from bosses? do they scale as well?

[lavish jacinth]

#lfg-playstation-ror2

[sweet quiver]

oh okay!

[lavish jacinth]

yeah

[left ore]

are you able to get bandit's desperado achievement on false son and/or voidling or does it just have to be mithrix?

[livid wedge]

Mithrix

[sweet quiver]

how many players can be in one multiplayer match is it 2 or 4

[ashen kiln]

4

[sweet quiver]

thought so

[errant canopy]

does anyone have any tips for getting hunteress's alt move set?

[errant canopy]

goated tag

[tacit cloak]

ok so for the seeker 20 perfect meditations achivement, do they have to be consecutive, if i drop one input do i have to start over?

[lavish jacinth]

for piercing wind you can use artifact of glass or shaped glass, also helps since damage to barrier won't fail the challenge. You can also just loop and do it when you're overpowered enough to do it without even trying since it doesn't have to be stage 3 specifically, just those maps.

The other two are pretty easy, the glaive one just requires gathering up some wisps and maybe getting a few crowbars or something for good measure, and for the 12 crowbars one you just... get 12 crowbars lol. Find a printer or use command

[lavish jacinth]

yes and yes

[tacit cloak]

bruh

[lavish jacinth]

easiest way to do it is to just go to the bazaar and do it there, get for the cooldown

[errant canopy]

gotcha thx for the help

[tacit cloak]

i dont even like this charachter but i had every achivement and now i dont

[errant canopy]

lol

[lavish jacinth]

it's not that bad, took me like 2 minutes lol

it's definitely tedious though, you just have to go slow and make sure not to mess up any inputs

[errant canopy]

i just got the one with the glaive

the achievement

[tacit cloak]

i hope it doesnt take me more than like 3 runs to beat monsoon on her

[errant canopy]

foreshadowing

[lavish jacinth]

it shouldn't, seeker is like the most overpowered character in the game right now

[tacit cloak]

over railgunner?

[lavish jacinth]

yeah, easily

[tacit cloak]

honestly forgot the thing revievs thats like super stupid

[lavish jacinth]

free self revive per stage plus a ton of other buffs from meditate, sojourn giving her a ton of mobility, invincibility, and a giant nuke, and soul spiral doing a ton of damage in general. Her primary and unseen hand are the only weak parts of her kit (relatively speaking)

genuinely no idea why they thought she needed a free self revive on top of everything else she's got going for her, she was already pretty strong before that

[tacit cloak]

im an fps player so im almost always hitting headshots so railgunner was just baby mode

[tacit cloak]

at least its not chasing hermit crabs off the map

that sucked

[lavish jacinth]

it's basically just seeker's equivalent to railgunner hitting 30 headshots without missing, but 20 perfect meditates in a row is a little excessive

[tacit cloak]

oh wow soul orbs is busted

[left ore]

does soldier's syringe or purity affect the recharge speed of bandit's m2?

[tacit cloak]

iirc attackspeed does but cdr doesnt

[lavish jacinth]

purity affects the cooldown, attack speed only makes it swing faster

[left ore]

is there a limit to how low a cooldown can get? i'm trying to make it swing so fast i can float (artifact of command looping BS)

[lavish jacinth]

yeah, there's a hard minimum of 0.5s

but if you wanna fly with bandit you can just spam smoke bomb

[left ore]

i have 15 purity rn i think i've reached the limit on all of my skills

[lavish jacinth]

his longest cooldown is only 6s so yeah, you hit that limit a while ago lol

[left ore]

damn you're like a walking wiki for this game, knowing that off the top of your head is crazy

[lavish jacinth]

I checked the wiki

[left ore]

that makes slightly more sense

[lavish jacinth]

I knew his cooldowns were all short but wasn't sure of the exact amounts lol

[left ore]

not many characters can make any use out of 15 purity

i think captain is the only one that can

[lavish jacinth]

yeah nah, basically just engineer and diablo captain

[left ore]

i just respawned via a shrine of shaping (malachite 😔) and experienced the hell that is x70 tonic affliction
...how the hell did i get x70 tonic affliction randomly

[lavish jacinth]

tonic affliction still stacks up even if you have infinite tonic

[left ore]

i gained 70 tonic affliction in stage 3, it hasn't increased since

im on stage 8 now

i have permanent tonic with gesture of the drowned

[lavish jacinth]

yeah, it stores them until something causes the tonic to end, then you'll get them all at once

[lavish jacinth]

oh yeah, and the chance to get affliction is based on luck, so you probably have a ton more by now lol

unless you have a bunch of clovers to cancel out the purity

[jovial gull]

Is there a easier way to get the achievement The Demons And The Crabs?

[honest badger]

Yes; cheating.

[jovial gull]

😢

[earnest bone]

they do not have to be consecutive. just 20 total no misinput specials

[fresh umbra]

-Command, pick primordial cube
-avoid items like tesla that could accidentally kill the hermit crabs
-turn both DLCs off to maximize chances of getting titanic plains
-use lunar seer after stage 5 and pick titanic plains

[copper sable]

what is your pfp i need to see the whole thing

[lavish jacinth]

it won't make it any clearer, I promise

[copper sable]

no no it did clear it up

i thought it was like a wall

i feel more content in life knowing this

[sly zodiac]

question
is there a way to make the like detailed effects of an item show up without me having to inspect
like it just shows up in the little bar that says i pick up an item
i saw it in like an rndthursday vid and i was wondering it it was a mod or smtn that can just be turned on and off in settings

[lavish jacinth]

the lookingglass mod is probably what you want

[onyx plume]

For Engineer: 100% Calculated challenge (defeat teleporter boss in less than 5 seconds), can a friend play something strong like loader or railgunner and help the thing?

Just now, I (railgunner) ensured the engi's turret dealt dmg to the boss atleast once and I oneshot the boss, but it didn't unlock for him?

do we have to finish the teleporter event?

nvm

[fathom hollow]

is the rain risky

[livid wedge]

It might be

That's a risk you'll have to take

[lavish jacinth]

it does have to be consecutive

[ember loom]

hey so ive played the game for an okay amount of time but im struggling to do consistent monsoon runs, if someone wants to play with me together while explain how to beocme better please dm

[frosty reef]

Disputed origins eclipse guide on yt is a good source for that

[tardy lagoon]

could someone explain how prayer beads are supposed to do anything?
bc i can't get it

[lavish jacinth]

You have to scrap them or use them in a printer in order to get the stat bonus from them

They basically act like a second xp bar that you fill up and then cash in for more stats

[marble magnet]

Tips for Ice-Box

I tried and I just couldn't get 20 stacks no matter what

Will work better?

[mellow crystal]

Just get a bunch of attack speed, or fmp + gasoline

[marble magnet]

I swear attack speed didn't affect it

You sure it's attack speed and not uh

Backup mags or

[lavish jacinth]

Attack speed definitely affects it

If you get at least 7 syringes that should do it, more will make it easier though

In my experience the burn also wears off too fast for backup mags to really help much

[marble magnet]

🥲 I'll try

Thanks, I'd do this in command but ehhh

Oh and another thing

Enhanced burn (like the blue fire) is that different

[mellow crystal]

It does more damage overall but it doesn't apply a different debuff iirc
And either way Stronger Burn from works so I doubt it would make a difference

[marble magnet]

Oki

[round crane]

what items should i pick on railgunner i wanna loop like 2 times

[nocturne sierra]

Crowbar, and some attack speed, but also which scope are you using?

[round crane]

since im on command its a good idea

[nocturne sierra]

No like which secondary

[round crane]

basic skills

[nocturne sierra]

Ok, ya crowbars, attack speed and damage reduction, bands also wouldn’t be bad

[lavish jacinth]

attack speed isn't great with default scope

watches would be good though

and gasoline for some aoe

best approach is always getting a bit of everything

[round crane]

no

[round crane]

and no

[lavish jacinth]

...yes?

+20% damage from watches will do a lot more than the tiny reload speed increase you'd get from attack speed, and the aoe is just nice to have on railgunner, although you could also use ukes for that

[nocturne sierra]

I was just saying for the reloading, not for quicker shots

[mellow crystal]

Is the rg reload really that difficult tho

Seeker meditate is more difficult than it and seeker meditate is not that bad imo

[nocturne sierra]

No but if he’s looping twice you want to shoot faster

[fierce bluff]

Thanks for telling! That's probably the reason, although he still has a mod on thunderstore.

[lavish jacinth]

attack speed just doesn't affect reload speed very much, the difference it makes is tiny

I mean they're playing with command so anything goes, but it's more of a convenience than a priority imo

[fierce bluff]

Is scrap cannon that bad?

[lavish jacinth]

nah, it's fine

[fierce bluff]

Good thing I'm using it then

[onyx plume]

In siphoned forest, there is a cave with closed doorway and some fireplace on the floor

What is this thing?

[lavish jacinth]

Nothing, just decoration

[onyx plume]

ah i see.. also i think this map sucks as first map

im seeing a reddit post that says this map has the most items tho

which i don't understand

is the amount of items tied to which maps we get on each stage as well?

thats so weird.

[lavish jacinth]

Yeah, maps have a certain amount of credits used to spawn interactables

[glacial knoll]

Siphoned has the most items, largely based on the fact you are likely to miss multiple

[lavish jacinth]

Like a small chest costs 15 credits for example

And I think siphoned forest has 300 credits total

[onyx plume]

ah ic

[glacial knoll]

300 compared to 220 of Plains and Roost

[full apex]

the pool is good too

[frosty reef]

And large damage chests on snowyforest

[meager mauve]

Help!

Does anyone experience performance problems with the game whilst any other application runs pwrfectly fine?

and what does one has to do if their gpu stopped being recognized?

[full apex]

All the time? or just when things are hectic

[full apex]

uhhh that might be indicative of a bigger issue, i would probably google the error and your gpu to see if anything comes up

if its mostly tech issues with the game #ror2-tech-support might be able to help

[meager mauve]

Oh!

I'll transport there

I haven't noticed the channel

[glass cedar]

Are Radio Tower spawning excluded from some characters? I was playing void fiend and I went to Golden Dieback like 8 times in a run with sacrifice on and it never showed. When I looked it up the AI assist said it doesn’t spawn with captain, Viend, or False son but turned around and said character didn’t matter

[glacial knoll]

Golden Diebacks Radar Scanner is currently bugged and unobtainable if you have the Aphelian Sanctuary log

use mods or cheats or wait

[lavish jacinth]

Also don't ever trust AI assist

Especially not for something this specific

[glacial knoll]

i didn't even the second half of the sentence bro ai doesn't know shit about games

[lavish jacinth]

Or most things

[glass cedar]

Ah I see that makes a lot of sense why it wasn’t showing thank you

[lavish jacinth]

Oh, speaking of ai <@&559786374228738069>

[compact wolf]

sick of this one

[high forum]

oh hell yeah

DIBS

[compact wolf]

go for it

[forest depot]

gigaflarex30 was banned.

[high forum]

[compact wolf]

basard creacher

[glass cedar]

While I’m thinking about it are any other logs Unobtainable at this point in time? Or just Dieback

[lavish jacinth]

I think treeborn colony is also bugged

[glass cedar]

Ok thank you for the help

[fresh umbra]

Can the bombs from Spite damage enemies on the monster team if Chaos is disabled?

I’m trying to find which artifacts objectively make the game harder

[torn stag]

i think they would do damage

[jovial gull]

Yo can somebody help me? I keep dying to the grandparent and idk how

[steady stone]

The sun is a ramping line of sight debuff attack

The longer it sees you, the more burn stacks you get

#ror2-game-questions message

[lavish jacinth]

the sun is a deadly laser

just get behind cover, same as a vagrant nova

[steady stone]

oh, and it only uses the sun when under 50% hp

[lavish jacinth]

there'll be shadows on the ground giving you a rough idea of where's safe to stand

[jovial gull]

Thx 😭🙏

I bought the game like 4 days ago and I just didn't know what to do when he does that attack

[left ore]

Does + noxious thorn do anything?

[primal vector]

Nope

[burnt ocean]

is that anything to reduce lag on ps4 like a item that can reduce it others can make me fps lag and limbo

[high forum]

nope

you're playing a game from 2019 on 2013 hardware

[burnt ocean]

yep maybe one day consoles can adapt

next gen ones

[bitter ore]

is chef broken right now?

im noticing that I get 2 upgraded uses of my abilities with 1 yes chef

[high forum]

game runs fine on xsx/ps5 apparently

[fallen bridge]

this only seems to be an icebox-specific issue

[burnt ocean]

my friend has lagged and freezed before tho

[onyx plume]

Im not sure how to itemize railgunner. Been quite struggling to deal a lot of dmg to bosses like voidlings. I build similar to Loader minus the critical lenses and focus crystals.

[lavish jacinth]

that's pretty much how you build railgunner tbh, she's a very burst-focused character like loader

[onyx plume]

Did 1 loop and went to voidling. Had like 14 crowbars. But didnt even do 1/4 of its health bar with 4k ult

[lavish jacinth]

make sure you're mixing different multipliers and not just stacking one thing

[onyx plume]

Is crit glasses good on her? I saw a reddit comment saying its actually good on her

[lavish jacinth]

and don't neglect total damage proc items like either

[lavish jacinth]

it's not lol

it's only a 5% crit damage bonus per lens

crowbar and watches are the main ones you want, maybe with sticky bomb and ap rounds thrown in

(for white items anyway)

[onyx plume]

They saying it increase her base dmg, but yeah idk about that one

[lavish jacinth]

yeah no

[peak jacinth]

it increases her crit damage

[lavish jacinth]

they're either extremely misinformed or making shit up lol

[onyx plume]

Been doing a duo run with engi friend and giving all crits, atk speed, and sticky bombs to him

[peak jacinth]

and since crit is already double, everything you increase it by is essentially halved in terms of an increase - not good

[onyx plume]

Does bosses scale with #of players? (Ofc it does..... does it?)

[lavish jacinth]

^^^ it takes crit chance and adds it to your existing crit multiplier, but because that multiplier starts at 200%, the increase is effectively halved

200% -> 210% is only a 5% increase

yep, boss health is based on how many players are alive when the boss spawns

[onyx plume]

Damn that might be the reason

For extra chunky bossfights

[lavish jacinth]

....you know what I just realized, I wonder if you could cheese final bosses by having all but 1 person kill themselves before the fight starts, then the last person starts the fight and revives everyone with seed of life

[lavish jacinth]

yeah, and voidling in particular has a disgusting amount of health

[peak jacinth]

probably not worth it tbh…

[lavish jacinth]

lemme check something

[hoary sedge]

I mean that might be kinda nice if only 1 person has a pillar skip

[onyx plume]

I tried to do a looped run with engi cuz engi is busted with looped but we both got one shot by one of those field dmg and beams lol

[peak jacinth]

pillars are fine in mp, cuz you can spread out and do all of them at once

[hoary sedge]

also true

[peak jacinth]

they aren’t fun… but i’d say it’s better to keep the seed of life for when your friends die due to the huge desync on some of mithrixs attacks in mp

[hoary sedge]

multiplayer pizza.......

[onyx plume]

We dont have the second dlc yet xD...

Defo gonna aim it next sale

Game is good

[peak jacinth]

big spinny is truly a horror when your friends aren’t on ethernet

[lavish jacinth]

ror2's netcode is uh, not the best yeah

[peak jacinth]

the larva player in question:

[onyx plume]

Maybe we should just mithrix into voidling

Atleast i wont get oneshot

[lavish jacinth]

so if the wiki is right and I'm not completely failing at math, boss health gets multiplied by the square root living players, so it'd be ~1.4 with 2 players, ~1.7x with 3, and 2x with 4. But it only seems to apply to bosses with special scaling

but they also have their base scaling modified by the number of players in the lobby, living or not, so I dunno if it'd make that much difference

[peak jacinth]

so meaning only final bosses?

[left ore]

What is today's prismatic trial map variant I don't think I've ever seen this before

[lavish jacinth]

final bosses, aurelionite, AWU, and halcyonite when it spawns from a shrine iirc

[peak jacinth]

halcyonite from a shrine is a boss? damn I never knew

[lavish jacinth]

it should give you the name of the map when you start it

[peak jacinth]

thought it was just an elite

[lavish jacinth]

they're not, but they still get special scaling when they spawn from a shrine (I think) because gearbox

[peak jacinth]

oh lol

thanks GBX very good

i guess it would make more sense for director to just get more credits rather than changing hp of tele bosses

[lavish jacinth]

at least I've heard that they do, it might've changed or I was lied to

they definitely get weirdly tanky though so I'd believe it

[onyx plume]

Should i take attk speed items on railgunner or give it all to engi duo

[lavish jacinth]

nah

give em to engie

[onyx plume]

Okok

[lavish jacinth]

attack speed only really matters on railgunner if you're using the alternate scope

[peak jacinth]

attack speed doesn’t benefit rg much if you’re default scope

you can fly with m1 if you have a shit ton, but that’s not really relevant here

[burnt ocean]

whats the best way to do 50k damage with flying orb besides playing the game cuz i already do 😂

[steady stone]

the seeker 500k unlock? should be some stuff in pins

actually, still makes sojourn busted right? feel like they might've patched it if not, with this recent patch

[jade vortex]

Can I have a list for all items that work with forgive me please on console (including the dlcs)

[onyx plume]

the newt alter seems to be walled off in verdant falls?

when i try to ping the wall it says i found a newt alter

but i can't access it?

[daring cloak]

Thats a bug, the altar is in a different spot but for some reason pinging the wall still pings the altar even though it could be across the entire stage

[onyx plume]

i checked all spots but nothing

[daring cloak]

If you ping the wall the icon should appear where the newt altar actually is

[onyx plume]

oh okok

ill try that next time

[jade vortex]

?

[lavish jacinth]

chronic expansion

[jade vortex]

Any boss items?

[lavish jacinth]

it's just any on-kill effect that doesn't have an extra condition tied to it, like the enemy being an elite or whatever

[jade vortex]

Oh

[lavish jacinth]

nope

[jade vortex]

So 100000 willowhisps

Is there a limit to how many forgive me pleases you can olace

And is it good with any other item or charter

Like ages with monster tooth or smt?

[lavish jacinth]

I mean, it's good with everything I listed lol

it just depends on how good the item itself is, and fmp usually makes them better just by being able to control when they activate

[jade vortex]

Kk

[brisk wing]

Is there a wiki or something that shows you a list of survivors, and what is their best/worst items to pick up or what to avoid/get instantly as that survivor?
