ror2-game-questions

[tender temple]

I prefer tps cause of better spatial awareness

Fps has its own charm but it doesn't work as well in certain genres

It's mostly an immersion thing and in some cases immersion isn't necessary as much as gameplay is

[clear whale]

you can play as different "survivors"

[tender temple]

Total petrichor v death

It IS funny we are still called survivors even in ror2

[trim lynx]

originally the plan was for the safe travels to crash at some point

or atleast become in danger

[tender temple]

It is especially funny calling false son or void fiend a survivor

[trim lynx]

void fiend is a Survivor of the Void™

but false son is funny yea

[tender temple]

False son err survived being shish kebabd by heretics

[trim lynx]

heretic being a survivor is kinda funny

but ig the "survivor" could be whoever is controlling her

rex kinda died and got revived ig

[tender temple]

Commando is a survivor at life.

[trim lynx]

the robot part atleast

[tender temple]

It's tough being commando

[trim lynx]

funny how the bloated survivor is called a survivor

survivor is probably just a term for those who survived the initial crash though

either that, or pyro only dies when you rip off his leg, which is yeowch

[tender temple]

Well yeah but we are talking about ror2 where no crash happened

[jaunty furnace]

well theyre surviving the planet

[vague hedge]

you dont call people who are on a plane before it crashes survivors

they didnt survive shit prior to dropping down to the planet

ror1 survivors survived the providence attack

[left forge]

TPS, Survivors with different abilities, go through stages, get items in stages (effects of items can stack), fight final boss or loop

[amber swan]

Also printers exist and you may find yourself with a funny build where yiu have 0 damage but are immortal so looping one time takes like 120 minutes

[silent shoal]

On engineer, how much bungus is enough? Also should medkits be scrapped for more bungus

[lavish jacinth]

realistically like 2-3 bungus is plenty, and no

[steady stone]

A solid 4-6 is immortal to most enemies

The bigger the range the further you can place your turrets from each other which stops them from blocking their shots too

[steady stone]

If stacking the circles specifically

[lavish jacinth]

but the whole "print everthing into bungus" thing is kinda just a meme

remember that you do need to keep yourself alive as well as your turrets

[steady stone]

Yeah, it's good to do both even, distract the enemies for your turrets who can't jump or dodge

[cinder pasture]

does anyone actually use the lunar meteorite?

serious question

[lavish jacinth]

I'm sure someone does

...probably

[jaunty furnace]

the equipment?

for multiplayer trolling definitely

but it could probably be useful in normal gameplay too

just pay attention to meteor telegraphs around you

[amber swan]

yeah its like, a atomic bomb if theres alot of enemies on the map.

it scales with the amount of enemies, and it has a proc co efficient with atgs and etc so it goes nuts

[lavish jacinth]

the cooldown is pretty gross though

it's not a bad item, just kinda forgettable

[jaunty furnace]

oh yeah i forgot

crazy

[lavish jacinth]

I remembered it being 100s but it's actually even worse lol, 140

[amber swan]

eh it goes hard and can wreck alot of shit.

main issue with it is that it cannot hit air enemies

[prisma path]

YES its actually peak just a few and and the meteor rain never stops

all you have to do is not die to your own meteor shower and its just the best

you only need 19 of either of those for it to be constant meteor shower

as long as you have one gesture

[crisp timber]

"a few"
"19"

[prisma path]

same thing

and its worth it

[lavish jacinth]

you only need 9

[prisma path]

what are you talking about

[prisma path]

wait no i might've read the chart wrong

yeah it is 9

[trim lynx]

each gesture after the first is equivalent to one fuel cell fyi!!!

[prisma path]

yeah

gesture of the drowned is my favorite lunar item

[amber swan]

dude dude dude feller, there is no "permanent effect" using meteorite multiple times in a row makes even more meteor.

using 30 meteors in one second means 29x as much meteor

[prisma path]

yeah but it never stops if another one activates beforethe first one ends

[amber swan]

I will now use meteorite as any character that can stay above ground for 0 downside

[prisma path]

good

[keen trail]

whats better on acrid poison or acid

[lavish jacinth]

poison

poison deals a minimum % of the enemy's health, blight can be stacked but only does fixed damage per stack, so poison generally ends up being better

[digital wadi]

is there a max to how many fmp's can be down at 1 time?

[jaunty furnace]

3

[digital wadi]

ty!

[trim lynx]

if you wanna reach it quick, soulbound catalyst is useful!

[jaunty furnace]

for basically free fmp spam

[digital wadi]

already on it :D

[trim lynx]

oh nice items!

[digital wadi]

fmp is one of my fave buils, just been so long since i got the right set up i couldnt remember how many could go down

ty :D
this was just a run to unlock chef's abilities and it's going very well

[radiant jungle]

so quick question

im tryna keep myself spoiler free for the most part

but i beat the game (i think) with huntress and i know theres a bunch more stuff to do

and i cant figure out how to do it

[primal vector]

There are several approaches to what to do next

I think the most simple way to go about is to go to the logbook and pick things to unlock

[steady stone]

For what to do "next," you'll probably naturally unlock more by playing generally, but you can view exact unlocks

[primal vector]

That way, you will explore more aspects of the game like looping, alternative endings, etc

[radiant jungle]

that makes sense but tbh with you some of these requirements are nonsensical to me just coming innto the gam

like "free the survivor suspended in time"

or "purify the heart of the false son with a halycon seed"

and i also dont know how to get things like other endings or secrets in general

[radiant jungle]

welp just figured out this one

i could not even see him 😭

[primal vector]

I mean that is kinda it if you dont want spoilers. Look for some achievements and dicover things. People here can give you more precise instructions if you want

[steady stone]

If you want more subtle hints, I'm sure people can think of those if specified too

Generally questions here are gonna warrant exact answers by default though

[ancient yarrow]

Will we get more original survivor skills?

[lavish jacinth]

doesn't seem likely

[jaunty furnace]

we dont know

would be cool though

[lavish jacinth]

I think if they did add more, it would kinda have to be the main focus of the dlc, like how AC focuses on drones

[mental sierra]

what do i do when im playing acrid on eclipse 5 and mithrix steals all my items then 1 shots me

I’m thinking of trying a healing item only build and relying purely on poison damage toward the end

[steady stone]

Use the pillars as cover and keep your distance

Poison will always deal decent damage to mithrix until you get a chunk of items back

That and his self damage from ground slam

Mithrix fires in bursts, to peek out and apply more

[frosty reef]

Going for a healing item building on eclipse 5

[steady stone]

It would take ages but at least poison would like, technically never fall off

Either way yeah

[frosty reef]

Acrid can always start mithrix's self damage slams by just leaping and spamming m1 and applying poison. Save a leap to get away

[steady stone]

The best defense is a good offense by obliterating everything instantly

[digital wadi]

Basically just maintain distance and keep poking him with poison, it'll be slow but it'll do the job

[fierce yacht]

What’s the best way to get 650 Hp? I’m tryna get infusion so I can become my best chef boy

[digital wadi]

First thing that comes to mind is start with multi, he has highest base health in the game (not including heretic)

[lavish jacinth]

why do you need 650 hp? You unlock infusion by killing 3000 enemies

[fierce yacht]

Oh the wiki said it was obtaining 650 hp ^_^

[lavish jacinth]

uhhh, what wiki are you looking at?

https://riskofrain2.wiki.gg/wiki/Slaughter

wiki.gg is the one you want

[lime ermine]

Did they say when they are gonna release the new dlc?

[crisp timber]

not even fandom says 650 hp

[lavish jacinth]

no, just the next dev diary

it's not even on the old ror1 wiki, I genuinely don't know where they got that from lol

[trim lynx]

thats the bitter root ror1 unlock

idk where you got that from :P

[topaz moon]

what items combine better with the false son?

[jaunty furnace]

in what way? general build-wise or just growth?

false son has a gimmick where he gets stronger from max health-related items

like

this is what the skill descriptions are referring to when they say growth

[lavish jacinth]

False son kinda works with anything tbh

lunar ruin (the debuff from his secondary) is currently bugged and can exponentially increase the damage of proc chains, and he can get a 1.5 proc coeff on his charged primary if you use it from high enough in the air, so he has some insane potential with proc items

(even without the bug ruin would still be really strong, but atm it's absolutely broken both literally and figuratively)

health items can give him a variety of buffs

[sly gorge]

Hey can someone explain why im not getting this unlock for huntress called piercing wind i have tried 3 times now and still nothing

[lavish jacinth]

are you absolutely sure you didn't take any damage?

[sly gorge]

Absolutely sure i had shield items and had 7 teddy bears

[lavish jacinth]

it's pretty easy to take a bit of fall damage or get poked by a wisp or something without noticing

[lavish jacinth]

shield or barrier? because damage to shields will still fail the challenge

[sly gorge]

Also didnt take no fall damage this time

Ahhhhh

So how to complete i was using the regeneration shield

[lavish jacinth]

just don't get hit, basically

[jaunty furnace]

get stuff like

[lavish jacinth]

artifact of glass or shaped glass make it pretty easy, and helps since damage to barrier won't fail the challenge

[jaunty furnace]

but is the absolute best defense item you can get

[lavish jacinth]

yeah

[lavish jacinth]

specifically in this order ( helps too)
but damage reduction will only matter if you already have barrier up, so are the most important things to get

another option is to 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

[sly gorge]

Thanks man i appreciate it couldnt figure out why

[lavish jacinth]

np

[sly gorge]

Any red items?

[lavish jacinth]

would all be good for auto-killing enemies, I'd probably go with SDP first since drones can also draw aggro

[torn ibex]

when did y´all win your first run, because i now have 27 h in ror2 in still didnt win a run👍

[jaunty furnace]

according to my achievements it took me 2 days

does that really matter thoug

[torn ibex]

idk probably not, i was just curious

[lavish jacinth]

I don't think my first win took more than a week but I don't really know, I started playing before the game even had steam achievements, lol. But the game was also pretty different back then

[edgy swift]

What items benefit Rex the most?

[lavish jacinth]

are two noteworthy ones, since he constantly hurts himself and has two built-in debuffs

apart from that he does well with total damage procs and multipliers, and stay away from items that lose their effect when you take damage like etc

he can also afford to scrap most healing items. Medkit and healing drones can be nice to have, but most of his skills already have some form of lifesteal so he doesn't really need it

[hoary sedge]

luminous shot is also pretty consistent extra damage on him bc you want to be using your m2 really often

[lavish jacinth]

yea

[cinder pasture]

afaxmachine you play mult?

or anyone else

idk i just guessed afaxmachine would be lurking for the past 7 hours

[clear whale]

my good friend is very good at it

[cinder pasture]

how does he play it. idk i just feel like i cant get good even like aim with him

wait what primaries does he use?

[clear whale]

double saw

[cinder pasture]

no

[clear whale]

he also sometimes run saw nail

w/ powermode

[cinder pasture]

idk who to play i feel like i play my mains to much. who do you think i should play?

[clear whale]

whoever you like

[cinder pasture]

ger;ljk;jnglkae ';ljgasw a

i just feel bored of captain, arti and merc

[clear whale]

i just play whoever i want

[steady stone]

i personally used a random character thing which made me realise i really did hope for certain chars more than others and just played those

[ornate gust]

For commandos incorruptible achievement does picking up a lunar coin count?

For not picking up any lunar items

[jaunty furnace]

i doubt it

[peak holly]

Nope

[ornate gust]

Cool tyyy

[lone compass]

commando

[round hare]

anyone know what these are about? second pic taken moments before disaster 🙁

[cobalt quiver]

you put these codes into the terminal on stage 5 to get to the artifact room.
different code give different artifacts.

[round hare]

thank you

[digital wadi]

does seekers meditate ability give the lemerians from artifact of devotion the buff?

[tender temple]

Why would it

It doesn't give it to drones does it

[jagged apex]

does anyone have any tips to beat the false son, the reason I'm asking is because I've been trying to beat him for months cause I wanna get him as survivor

[jaunty furnace]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKmS4wyFRAk

(most of the video is a full run)

[rare plume]

Honestly, if you're not above cheesing anything, Artifact of command would be a solid choice just to get your kit and murder him outright

[south egret]

loop once, go to green portal on stage 6 or 7 (whatever pops up). That'll give you a better item economy and more time to find what you need.
From there, the strat boils down to don't get hit, and use the totems when you need to, not when you can. Losing your skills is pretty bad, especially if you don't have a damaging equipment

command also works... very well

[rare plume]

Its like a pillow to fall on to ensure you get the items you need

[south egret]

yeah, especially for challenges

[rare plume]

I beat the dude before they fixed the golems and pillars man

it was like the 7th try before i was like "okay he dies today"

[lavish jacinth]

Well other than getting an easy win with command/drizzle, you basically just want to play really defensively, get hits where you can but focus on staying near cover and dealing with hazards and golem spam and stuff

If you're not careful he'll just delete you with his slam or spike shotgun

Oh yeah, and his ai gets distracted really easily, so are great

[jagged apex]

maybe I'll create an LFG

I suck at solo

[lavish jacinth]

even works since you'll be interacting with the pillars pretty often

[wispy kayak]

how to get good

[lavish jacinth]

Practice, full-loot stages, learn enemy attack patterns and stage layouts, and how items work and stuff

And also just by dying a lot and trying to learn from every death

[fierce yacht]

What are the best items to have for a seeker run where I want rlly fast and powerful punches ?

[lavish jacinth]

Just attack speed and damage multipliers I guess, and procs unless you ONLY wanna deal damage with her primary

Her primary isn't really her best source of damage though

[digital wadi]

Idk, never payed attention to drones

[sly gorge]

Does reload speed benefit artificer

[peak holly]

Yep, reduces her cooldown on her primary, increases charge speed on secondary, and increases the rate at which flamethrower (default special) ticks for damage

[sly gorge]

Thank you

[peak holly]

Also yknow fires her primary faster

[sly gorge]

I will grab mochas more now lol

[jaunty furnace]

you mean attack speed

which yes it helps a little

but youll want to prioritize actual damage items more

like

and that applies to everyone

[sly gorge]

But on hit procs effect more with faster fire rate though no

[keen trail]

whats the best commando damage build

[lavish jacinth]

"a bit of everything" is always best for damage, but commando does particularly well with proc items, especially bleed

[lavish jacinth]

they'll proc more often, but damage multipliers or proc chaining can also increase dps, usually much more than attack speed alone will

[keen trail]

ok but what items i have to stack?

[steady stone]

Diversity over stacking

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/943509112258428958/1250225925811994655/PROCCHAIN.png?ex=68dfaf60&is=68de5de0&hm=7782f3fb57502d764bb88f0046cf8398efb1003f7e5657befdd871e1300b2cb6&

Mostly because of this, the more damage options, the better

It's hard for Mando to be "bad" with an item except for maybe bands

[lavish jacinth]

just to name a few, I won't go over every item
+ any SotS reds, especially boomerang and runic lens

and like Jiji said, it's much better to get a lot of different things than just focusing on stacking a handful of the "best" items

in most cases damage items will stack additively with themselves, but will be multiplicative with each other

[round hare]

hey, i'll still stack 8 lensmakers glasses in stage 1 if a printer appears there..

[lone compass]

crit is a seperate thing

just turn all the bad items in the stage into ceit tbh

[lavish jacinth]

how is crit a separate thing, it's a multiplier like any other. Only thing that's special about it is crit synergy items

[lament pebble]

i just got this game on pc and i cant get console command to work 🙁

anyone have advice?

[steady stone]

Get the DebugToolKit mod

Commands are disabled by default and the command to enable them doesn't work

Besides like, the command to fetch your ping, those work

[lament pebble]

i have t get a mod

shucks

[lavish jacinth]

the built-in console commands don't do much

modding isn't hard though

[lament pebble]

oh alr

i already got the modding part down

i got ss2 like instantly lol

[keen trail]

can you say me more items plisss

[lavish jacinth]

It's honestly easier to just list the damage items that AREN'T at least decent on commando, which is basically just burst items and even bands aren't bad on him, he just doesn't have very strong burst skills to proc them

if it's some kind of damage multiplier or on-hit effect, it's probably going to be very good on commando. And on-kills/aoe stuff will be good too

[steady stone]

the first two starter characters are really made to be good with (almost) everything

[keen trail]

Okkkkkkk thankyouu for teaching me i am new 😊

[lone compass]

its different because its a chance to deal double damage, and thats it

and doesnt interact with proc coeff

[lavish jacinth]

....how does that make it different lol

it gives a damage multiplier when a condition is met, like other multipliers

the condition being that you get a random crit

ig it's different because crit chance is actually a character stat but that's whatever

[amber swan]

and it also is its own condition cuz of predatory instincts and harvesters

also

[marble isle]

anyone got tips for commando monsoon? i can't seem to melt the enemies in commencement fast enough even with a build that makes quick work of the stage 5 enemies

[lavish jacinth]

commencement is always a reality check, don't go in expecting to shred enemies unless you're a few loops deep or have a crazy god run. Just use cover as much as you can and/or kill enemies from a distance, and be especially careful of the wisp chimeras- wait for them to stop shooting and then peek out from cover, they have a pretty long cooldown on their machine gun so you get a good window to attack them

as for the rest of the game it's hard to give tips for commando specifically because he's so basic, lol. Item-wise he's pretty flexible, he does really well with proc items (especially bleed) but most things will work.

And the usual stuff, ie. full-loot stages as efficiently as you can, never stop moving, learn enemy patterns and which enemies to prioritize

[marble isle]

thanks, it's mostly commencement im having issues with atm in my quest to get the mastery skins for survivors i don't play much

[lavish jacinth]

yeah, you really just have to be cautious and patient with commencement sometimes

[clear whale]

you either pillar skip or loop

i forgot how to spell either for a good minute

[marble isle]

spoiled by railgunner's ability to oneshot commencement mobs

[grave pulsar]

why do many people prefer focused assault over blinding assault (default dash) on merc , isnt the default just better because more mobility

[mellow crystal]

Focused assault is better for damage and cdr if you aren't playing hyper-aggro merc

[peak holly]

It’s preference really

Just use whichever one you like more

[crisp timber]

Focused has a longer singular dash, and when you’re actively fighting, it’s usually possible to proc expose enough to have pretty consistent 1-2 second cooldowns on focused with expose transfers

[jaunty furnace]

expose grants more damage and lowers your cooldowns, and theres tech for merc's m1 that lets you apply expose more

[grave pulsar]

is there a way to change what dated seed im doing for prismatic trials , im tryna change to this specific date to make ethereal easier but i have no idea how to , or is that not possible

[jaunty furnace]

not a thing

wait for an easy seed

check cabbage's youtube channel for routes

[coral scarab]

I have 1 question do anyone know how the dmg multiplieur works ?if i got 2 clock and 1 red cristal and i am on cac
Am i got 60 %or80%?

[jaunty furnace]

damage items multiply eachother
will deal more damage than

[coral scarab]

Ok ty

[hoary sedge]

so damage multipliers are multiplicative onto the original hit. so if you do 100% base damage, 2 watches brings that to 140%, and then crystal does +20% of THAT, so you end up with 168%

which is higher than if you just had 3 of either

[spring temple]

if me and my friend are in a run which item pool does the game give us

[lavish jacinth]

both, item unlocks are shared in multiplayer

including dlc items

[spring temple]

100% items for both? or like 50 50

[lavish jacinth]

all of them

if an item is unlocked for at least one player then it'll be in the item pool for everyone

[spring temple]

thanks

[jaunty furnace]

thats not how it works

stages are the same for everyone

its up to you guys to determine who needs what kinds of items at that moment

but if youre asking about unlocks then yeah if one person unlocked the item then it may appear even if the rest havent unlocked it

same with dlc's (they cant use the survivors or get dlc achievements though)

[lapis schooner]

Is getting enough Halcyon shrines to go about getting False Son entirely up to chance? Because I've done a couple runs now where I don't get ANY after the first one

[lavish jacinth]

you don't need to get halcyon shrines, if you go to the bazaar on a valid stage there'll be 3 hidden geodes you can find and break to get a guaranteed green portal

[lapis schooner]

And that would be the 2nd and 3rd stages after the green portals?

[lavish jacinth]

yeah, you'd have to go to the bazaar from the first 3 stages of a loop

[lapis schooner]

Got it, thank you

[merry flare]

yo just bought the game and would like to ask if it is possible to cap the game at 240 fps ? the max ingame setting is set to 144 but i would like to set it higher

[lapis schooner]

I fear I may not have asked the correct question
I'm trying to unlock the False Son and I realize that I didn't mention that and it sound like I'm just trying to get to the fight
Oh well, I'll just try to keep getting lucky

[neon rain]

can someone help me get dragged below

[jaunty furnace]

what are you having trouble with

[neon rain]

the last 5

i died at the 45 boss

[jaunty furnace]

simulacrum kinda just gets easier and easier

shouldnt take too long to beat it

[neon rain]

them void crabs were packing me

[jaunty furnace]

what boss was it?

[neon rain]

i couldnt doa nything

idk i forgot

its was some void crab things

[steady stone]

Engineer makes simu basically free

[jaunty furnace]

did you get caught in a void explosion

[neon rain]

i think

i didnt see tho

i would like some help to make it faster and easier toh plsssssssssssssssssssssssss

[steady stone]

But if you have a good run and kill mithrix, go to spawn again and give 10 coins to the glass frog to do the alternate unlock

[jaunty furnace]

did you get instantly evaporated with no ragdoll

[neon rain]

i ragdolled

[jaunty furnace]

then it wasnt a void explosion

[neon rain]

o ok

uhhh r u busy rn

[jaunty furnace]

the bigger issue would be our regions

[neon rain]

o

[jaunty furnace]

if were like. on the opposite side of the planet or something then one of us will have to bear with a billion ping lol

[lavish jacinth]

afaik you can't, even manually setting it higher in the config file just sets it back to 30 when you run the game.

[merry flare]

damn okay, thank you

[spring temple]

what does fuel array even do

[jaunty furnace]

it could power something.........

[steady stone]

Explodes when you're under 50% hp

Useful on engineer kinda if you're not just using it for the unlock

[cobalt fiber]

What does -/- health mean?

[steady stone]

On console?

[jaunty furnace]

...how?

[steady stone]

It means the HP is higher than the int limit

[jaunty furnace]

do turrets inherit it?

[cobalt fiber]

Okay

[steady stone]

Yeah that's why it's still a "kinda"
The explosion also still damages you

You have to play really safe but it's the only real "use" out of it

[spring temple]

theres 0 things to think of when you said that💔

[steady stone]

If you want the like exact answer, ||take it to stage 4 Abyssal Planes and put it in the abandoned robot ||

[jaunty furnace]

look around the top of abyssal depths (red stage 4)

[neon rain]

Guys i need helppp

Why isnt any servers appearing for me

[jaunty furnace]

are you playing modded

[neon rain]

No

Help pls

[lavish jacinth]

turn off crossplay (assuming you're on steam)

[neon rain]

Oh thanks

[lavish jacinth]

when it's enabled you can only join other crossplay games, and nobody uses it because it's extremely glitchy and pretty much useless

[neon rain]

i turne dit off

theres like, only one lobby

[signal pelican]

Used for the Rex unlock

You basically have to survive to stage 4 with a bomb strapped to your back and hope you get Abyssal Depthes

Also I see that mutual server

[spring temple]

does it mean final stage's boss or what exactly

[spring temple]

well my pfp says it all

[tender temple]

it means the final boss

specifically mithrix i think

[spring temple]

never reached mithrix💔

[tender temple]

i wouldnt bother with the alt unlock until youre at least comfortable killing mithrix normally

[lone compass]

stack 100 shaped glass

one shot will kill mithrix

[hoary sedge]

you should pick up 128 shaped glass trust me bro

[lavish jacinth]

secret 128 glass ending

[spring temple]

what does an unlock mean💔

[brittle shuttle]

Chests shrines equipment barrels drones

if it cost money its now free

[spring temple]

isn't this item just bad

[brittle shuttle]

ego just fixes your run into an ego run which isnt bad

[lavish jacinth]

it's very strong once it gets going

[brittle shuttle]

An ego run is just “good” it can make your bad runs good but make your really good runs just good

[lavish jacinth]

but it's like a whole other playstyle

[brittle shuttle]

so its not bad it just might nerf you

[spring temple]

does "dreaming" a map set it to that map as the next stage

[spring temple]

yea it's gonna take like hp and speed items

[boreal kelp]

yo can anyone tell me how to unlock bandits like secondary abilitie because either im tweaking or it just sounds wrong

[steady stone]

It's just a matter of trying to get more items than ego takes

[lavish jacinth]

the strat with ego is basically just to stop worrying about getting specific items and focus on getting as many as you can (you should be doing that anyway, but even moreso with ego), and use drones and equipment to get healing and mobility if you need it

[lavish jacinth]

basically just backstab alloy worship unit a bunch

or aurelionite, you just need a really tanky boss

[brittle shuttle]

its really hard to fall behind on items with ego because an item a minute is pretty damn slow

So yeah it kinda just becomes about not trying to minmax a build and just letting ego take the wheel

[lavish jacinth]

his secondary applies hemorrhage when it crits which is basically just stronger bleed, it lasts 15s and resets when a new stack is applied so getting 20 stacks is pretty easy, the only hard part is finding an enemy that can tank it long enough

[boreal kelp]

that dont sound easy bro 😭

[brittle shuttle]

Its not

[boreal kelp]

also icl i dont know what those are im fresh to the game

[brittle shuttle]

its a rather infamous achievement

Id definitely wait on it its not even like bandits alt secondary is the coolest craziest move in game

[lavish jacinth]

don't worry about it too much then tbh

[brittle shuttle]

Just a ranged non aoe version of the secondary

[lavish jacinth]

ehhh, it kinda is
it's just a matter of knowing how to do it

[boreal kelp]

ah ok

[brittle shuttle]

Even knowing how to do it took a long while

God forbid you try and do this shit without command 😭

[lavish jacinth]

you don't even need command lol

[brittle shuttle]

then thats a deathwish

[boreal kelp]

also yk for the alt primary what does it mean by in a row. like can i dash, r, dash r, dash r, 15 times. or do i have to use every ability before r again and again, or do i literally have to just only press r

[lavish jacinth]

bro, I did it without command, it wasn't hard at all

[brittle shuttle]

a ton of people would differ

[steady stone]

[lavish jacinth]

you can use other abilities, but you have to get a kill each time you use your R

if you fire the revolver and the enemy doesn't die, it resets the streak

[frosty star]

Good until Mithrix gets the US arsenal

[boreal kelp]

ahh ok thats easy

is there a timer on it?

[lavish jacinth]

nah

[spring temple]

does losing 50% of trancendance's shield trigger 50% health conditionals

[lavish jacinth]

yeah, shield counts as max hp

[boreal kelp]

now that i think about it how is his alt secondary even possible?? 😭 are there items that apply hemorrhage? theres just no way u can get 20 stacks of that in 15 seconds

[lavish jacinth]

it's just his secondary

[boreal kelp]

thats crazy

[lavish jacinth]

like I said, m2 applies hemorrhage on crit, and bandit always crits when attacking from behind

[boreal kelp]

yeah i get that

[lavish jacinth]

and it can last forever, as long as you keep reapplying it within 15 seconds

[boreal kelp]

it applies ONE stack for 15s, u have to get 20 of them AND kill the guy within the 20. so you have to find something tanky enough to survive all 20 but also die within 15s

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh that makes so much more sense

[hoary sedge]

yeah applying a stack refreshes all stacks

and awu or aurelionite are easy targets and very tanky

[boreal kelp]

i was gonna say that just sounds impossivle lmao

[spring temple]

ego eating my items while i can't find the blue altar💔

[lavish jacinth]

yeah, that's why I suggested alloy worship unit

if you haven't fought them yet they're a semi-secret boss that has a fuckton of health and periodically gains a shield, so they're perfect for the unlock

[boreal kelp]

ive played like 5 stages ive gotten as far as the fourth stage

35 minutes

[lavish jacinth]

ah

yeah dw about it then, you'll get there

[boreal kelp]

lmao im a freshie

how many hours u got gang

[lavish jacinth]

around 1k, been playing since early-ish beta

[boreal kelp]

oh wow not as high as i thought type shi

[lavish jacinth]

yea, I don't actually play super often anymore lol

a good chunk of my hours were during quarantine, ror2 was a really good time-waster

[boreal kelp]

i hear that

[brittle shuttle]

(And even then 1k hours is an absurd amount of time to have on any game so thats still quite an amount)

official risker of rain

[boreal kelp]

cl ive spent way more on other games and this seems like a game that people who play it alot would have an absurd number of hours

[steady stone]

Most I've seen is 15k, 1k is pretty average though

Most people just run out of stuff to do

[spring temple]

does ego eat other lunar or legendary items

[steady stone]

Yeah

[livid wedge]

All items except consumed ones

[lavish jacinth]

and equipment

[trim lynx]

AC?

[livid wedge]

Or tonic afflictions

[boreal kelp]

15k 😭 that cant be possible

[livid wedge]

I've got 4k

[spring temple]

will it eat fuel array

[lavish jacinth]

nope

[livid wedge]

No, that's equipment

[boreal kelp]

game came out 5 years ago bro 15k hours means youve spent 1.7 years since then on the game considering youve gotten it on the release date

[primal vector]

The craziest part is not having all the achievements

[boreal kelp]

😭

[steady stone]

The beta though was earlier

[boreal kelp]

how much earlier

[steady stone]

Also, ego does not consume equipment

[spring temple]

i went to stage 4 and got siren's call💔

[trim lynx]

1.7 years is still hella long for one game however

[boreal kelp]

cause by this math hes spent an average of over 8 hours a day on the game since launch 😭

[steady stone]

If you're aiming for Abyssal Planes, try to use the Lunar Seers

[trim lynx]

abyssal depths :P

[steady stone]

oh yeah

[spring temple]

abyssal depths💔

will stage 8 be the same?

[lavish jacinth]

abysmal debts

[lavish jacinth]

no, it can be different

[steady stone]

You could get it stage 8

[spring temple]

does trancedance make fall damge only 1 or is it another item i have

[lavish jacinth]

yeah, transc does that

because fall damage is silly and is always a % of your normal health, not including shield

[spring temple]

can i get fuel array again at stage 6?

[lavish jacinth]

nope

[steady stone]

No, it's when you drop in

[spring temple]

don't we drop in stage 6 again?

[lavish jacinth]

no, you just teleport in like other stages

[steady stone]

Also why you can't get it on characters like , no pod

And some others

[spring temple]

💔

[fresh umbra]

Toxic luni

[vale ridge]

yo quick question for pc users

im switching from playstation to pc but i dont wanna re 100% the game would modding my game fuck it up

to get everything back

[quasi topaz]

Use realercheatunlocks to get stuff back, I haven't heard anything about it messing with your game

[vale ridge]

i mean like its not gonna prevent me from doing multiplayer or anything

or the new dlc when it comes out

idk how modding works ill be honest\

[quasi topaz]

You can launch the game modded, get your stuff back, exit and then just launch the game normally

Do your modding through r2modman

[vale ridge]

if you wouldnt mind

could u show me how\

i have no idea what im doing

if not ill just look it up

[quasi topaz]

Download r2modman through the thunderstore, select ror2 and launch through steam/epic games depending on what you play through, find the mod you want, launch modded

[stoic patio]

trying captain out for the first time, what builds does this guy go with?

[crisp timber]

proc

the shotgun is a lot of procs, comparatively speaking

he's like a slightly heavier bandit

[stoic patio]

WOW i got two shot

he's super duper slow

[jaunty furnace]

gives you extra secondary charges, idk why people forgot to mention items like that lol
theres also luminous shot (a dlc2 green item) that reduces secondary cooldowns by 20%. you might also be able to do some funky stuff with noxious thorn
tldr find items and whatnot to let you use your secondary more

[jaunty furnace]

find speed

[nocturne fog]

speeeeed

[marble magnet]

Do I need a a fuel cell to skip with

(pillar)

[jaunty furnace]

probably depends on how much speed you have

speed increases the dash distance

[marble magnet]

Uhh 3 hoofs 1 energy

2 waxes

Don't diss wax

Anyway

Can I like scrap the fuel cell?

[jaunty furnace]

what stage are you on

what survivor

fuel cell could have lysate potential

[marble magnet]

End of 5

Bandit

No encrusted soo

[jaunty furnace]

you can probably scrap it

your shift gives you more speed also

[marble magnet]

Alr thank you :)

[left forge]

has no mobility skills. use m2 for anim cancelling m1 reload and for stunning since its damage is ASS
m1 also has tech for fast firing m1. watch yt vid about it

[visual seal]

How do I unlock more survivors

[trim lynx]

you can view unlocks form the character select!

[jaunty furnace]

hover your mouse over them

[visual seal]

I'm on a steam deck

[jaunty furnace]

hover your selection over them

or something

[visual seal]

That won't equip them

[jaunty furnace]

hovering over locked content tells you how to unlock it

[tender temple]

You can also look in the logbook

[primal bane]

why i get 400 ping or more when im playing with my friend (he is 200 meters from me and we both get 500mb/s wifi)

[radiant jungle]

can someone tell me why i dont have the alternate secondary and utility of false son

i only have the special able to be unlocked

id send a pick but not sure where to send

pic*

[mellow crystal]

You can send em here, you get embed perms by grabbing a role in #roles

[radiant jungle]

ty

[lavish jacinth]

is your game on the current patch?

[radiant jungle]

im not sure

i thought so since i had both dlcs but clearly not

[lavish jacinth]

I mean, there have been quite a few updates since the last dlc came out

[mellow crystal]

Including the one that added the fs alt m2 and util

[cinder pasture]

so it turns out im bad at the game.

what is the mod that tells how you much of the stage you have explored?

[mellow crystal]

Stagerecap is the only one I can think of

[cinder pasture]

thank you

[lavish jacinth]

the current patch is 1.3.9, it'll be in the top left of the main menu

[lavish jacinth]

if you're on PC then the two easy answers could be either crossplay-related (if you're both on steam then just turn it off) or someone using a VPN

if it's not that then unfortunately idk, ror2's netcode is kinda garbage but it shouldn't be THAT bad

[radiant jungle]

ima fool

[cinder pasture]

void fiend stage 1, is there any point in continuing?

[primal bane]

when i play with my other friends i get 0 ping (50 max) (im not host) but when im playing with other friend that i said about i get insanely high ping but we dont use vpn (still im not host)
:(
when i host he gets high ping

crossplay disabled

[lavish jacinth]

weird
yeah, I'm not sure honestly

[primal bane]

i got funny theory

we both play from family share (in my family there is 2 copies of ror2 and he plays on my friends one and im on mine)

[lavish jacinth]

sure, you're only 4 items in. Plenty of time to turn the run around

[primal bane]

idk if that can affect on ping

[cinder pasture]

but isnt healing kinda the opposite point of void fiend?

[lavish jacinth]

I mean, scrap the lepton daisy for sure

but scythe is actually decent on him

[crisp timber]

First Scythe gives crit. It’s ultimately a net benefit.

[lavish jacinth]

you gain 2% corruption whenever you crit, which is usually enough to outweigh the flat healing from scythe

so it's a pretty good way to heal while you're corrupted

[crisp timber]

Also you have scope, which plays well into your plan of stacking crit

[cinder pasture]

a halycron shrine always spawns first stage right?

[lavish jacinth]

not guaranteed but very likely

[cinder pasture]

any void items you recommend on void fiend?

[lavish jacinth]

maybe? no idea

[lavish jacinth]

stay away from wungus and lost seers, otherwise the usual stuff is good

[crisp timber]

Lysate is also kinda useless

[cinder pasture]

how does transcendence work on him

[lavish jacinth]

encrusted key, polylute, shrimp, maybe needletick

[cinder pasture]

thats not lunar, it does give him +2 rage thing

[lavish jacinth]

same way it normally does

[crisp timber]

Wha

[cinder pasture]

no i mean does his healing when he regen sheild just evaporate his bar?

[lavish jacinth]

oh, nah, shield regen doesn't affect it

[cinder pasture]

lysate is a void item.
every void item on void fiend makes his rage bar minimum go up by 2. so 1 rage item means min is 2, 20 means 40% it cant go below the min rage

[crisp timber]

Yes. But apart from that, its actual effect is useless for viend

And corrupting your fuel cells is not really worth it

Sorry, I was confused by “that’s not lunar”

[radiant jungle]

whats the deal with "growth" on false son, im not seeing anything in his kit abt ot

[cinder pasture]

my main equipment is coin gun so im not bothered

[lavish jacinth]

in that case it would be fine, just a very small benefit

[crisp timber]

Giving false son extra HP grants him growth.
It’s his passive

[cinder pasture]

nice

[radiant jungle]

what is growth

[cinder pasture]

is this the halycron shrine symbol?

[steady stone]

Looks like from the stage recap mod, but yeah it's just the entire model really tiny

[lavish jacinth]

basically, gaining bonus HP (ie. health from items, not from leveling up), gives him various buffs to his skills

[cinder pasture]

the more health that he gets the more stacks of lunar spikes (and his alt) and laser burst also gets another stack

[crisp timber]

Growth grants extra secondary and special charges. That’s basically it.

[lavish jacinth]

extra charges on his secondary and alt special, and longer duration on default special

[cinder pasture]

also when you dont use spikes he gains defense, when you do use them he gains speed

[lavish jacinth]

attack speed and armor for unused spikes, speed and regen for used ones

[radiant jungle]

oh cool thanks

[lavish jacinth]

it's a complicated mechanic that the game does a horrible job of explaining lol

all you really need to know is that health items are good on him

bison steak is actually worth keeping for once

[radiant jungle]

i assume infusion is amazing on him

[crisp timber]

Yeah pretty decent

The real hitters are stone flux and prayer beads

[lavish jacinth]

the best things to get are %health buffs

[radiant jungle]

like the luna item?

[cinder pasture]

Understanding growth is like trying to get slicing winds again. I feel bad for the person that needs to write descriptions

[lavish jacinth]

pearls, growth nectar, and stone flux

[lavish jacinth]

I wouldn't say prayer beads is that good, unless there's something I'm missing

it's still effectively a flat health buff, so it's kinda just a better infusion (or worse, depending on when you cash it in)

[crisp timber]

At 20 stacks, it’s 2 infusions essentially

It’s the biggest flat health buff you can get off a single item

And I think it’s generally easier to look for beads than pearl/grectar lol

[lavish jacinth]

fair

[crisp timber]

Yeah I mean I agree grectar/pearl are better, just think they’re unrealistic to hunt for in most runs

[marble magnet]

What happens if you jump into a void explosion when the spaceship is fully charged with no revive?

Id test this but

I don't Wana throw away a run incase

[quasi topaz]

Just do a quick run for testing or mod your way there

[lavish jacinth]

I doubt anything interesting would happen, you'd probably just die

[quasi topaz]

Ik if you die within a certain window the game won't count the death but idk the exact window

I just know its tight

[marble magnet]

I see

[boreal kelp]

yo can anyone tell me what eclipse is?

[ornate gust]

Its an alternate game mode that has special modifiers for each run, like a higher difficulty basically

There 8 levels for eclipse

[boreal kelp]

ohhh i thought it was like some story shi

[ornate gust]

Nah

You should have it available when u click on the alternate game modes tab

[boreal kelp]

calm thank you and whats prismatic trials

[ornate gust]

Also an alternate game mode, but its a set seed

Basically u have to go through just 2 stages

And there'll be artifacts enabled

[ornate gust]

Set seed means it'll be the same stages, same item drops and same enemies everytime u play it

And the seed changes every like 3 days

[boreal kelp]

ahh thats cool

yo real quick. im playing a game and i just got the legendary item where when u hold jump in the sky u slam. but im playing that guy who hovers when u hold jump. is it literally useless??

[ornate gust]

You dont hold jump to slam, you hold ur interact button

If youre on keyboard that would be E

[boreal kelp]

ma fault thank you

[ornate gust]

No worries

[cinder pasture]

cryocharge or supercharge

[lavish jacinth]

both are good
cryo is more flexible and helps with crowd control, supercharge just does a ton of damage

[cinder pasture]

what do you run on mult?

[lavish jacinth]

depends on my mood, I like PM with scrap + nail or double nail ig

only thing I don't use on him much is rebar
it's not bad or anything, I just don't care for it

[cinder pasture]

pm?

[lavish jacinth]

powermode

[cinder pasture]

any recommended lunar items for rail gunner

[lavish jacinth]

nothing special, stuff like gesture, tonic, glass, transcendence etc. is good as usual

[cinder pasture]

what are all of the % health items?

[clear whale]

Growth Nectar

[steady stone]

Prayer beads, tonic too
Can't think of all of em off the top of my head

Not sure if prayer beads counts though, but it's better than steak and infusion

[glad edge]

How do you find the freaking buttons on aqueduct

like i dont understand

[quasi topaz]

Use or just know the locations

You can find the locations on the wiki

[lavish jacinth]

https://riskofrain2.wiki.gg/wiki/Abandoned_Aqueduct

there are only 8 places they can spawn

[stoic patio]

Ive been told to use on kills on acrid but the problem is that I struggle getting them to work against final bosses, what items do I really need to go for to not struggle with mithrix and the like?

[lavish jacinth]

well, you shouldn't only be relying only on-kills (although if you are, then you should use )

Acrid generally doesn't have an issue with bosses since poison deals %health damage, but it does get affected by multipliers like etc, so those are always nice to get. And proc effects are good as always

taking on-kills on Acrid is mostly just useful for finishing off enemies that are at 1hp from poison, they're not like a requirement or anything

[peak holly]

Mithrix adaptive armour makes poison a good bit less effective

[lusty torrent]

Is Seekers of the storm worth it?

[ornate gust]

Yep

On launch it was pretty bad but they have fixed most of the issues, items have been reworked and so have the survivours

So now its in a pretty good spot

Its on sale rn too so no better time

[lusty torrent]

Yeha

ty

[tender temple]

if you want more quantity over quality take sotv

if you want more quality over quantity take sots

if you want the most actual version of the game take both

[mellow crystal]

I agree with this actually

[tender temple]

the only thing sots strictly sucks at compared to sotv is the enemy variety

it only really has 3 new enemies 2 of which feel very janky and dont really feel that great

false son being an objective upgrade over voidling makes up for it tho

[mellow crystal]

Every enemy in the game is an objective upgrade over voidling ngl

Except grandparent

[tender temple]

i dont like gup

[vague hedge]

scorch vvurm is also pretty bad

[marble magnet]

What's the lowest possible item count on stage 1?

Like uhm

Chests n stuff

Not including equipment

I'm not including halcyonite Shrine btw

[amber swan]

And equipment

[livid wedge]

I've had as low as 1 or 2

[hoary sedge]

i mean theoretically you could get unfathomably unlucky and have the director spend all its credits on drones and blood shrines and get 0 items

id be surprised if that's ever actually happened though

[marble magnet]

Hmm ieght

[coral scarab]

anyone know what item alternate my hp on shield and hp?

[lavish jacinth]

giving you the perfected or overloading effect

[coral scarab]

oh it s an elite effect

[lavish jacinth]

yeah

[tender temple]

well equipment is part of items as a whole and items are better on average

[amber swan]

and equipment

[marble magnet]

Does damaging AWU shield damage AWU?

[hard patio]

Hey, little riddle / interrogation I had, I might be stupid or blind but I was wondering : why did I die in this run and got revived ? I had neither dio or seed of life, and the active artefacts are command and swarm

(the logs are in french but you can see I died and the game kept running afterwards)

could this be a weird growth nectar interaction ?

[radiant jungle]

is bottled chaos any good or should i scrap it

[marble magnet]

I think I had a similar interaction

I died to fog in simulacrum but still survived

*revived

[marble magnet]

What equipment you running?

[radiant jungle]

saw blade, idk

theres another one i just got which heals me

[marble magnet]

What stage you on?

[radiant jungle]

stage 2, i am playing false son

[marble magnet]

?

[radiant jungle]

what is that

[marble magnet]

Woodsprite

You not have it?

[radiant jungle]

i suppose not?

is it an item? i can send my stuff hol on

[marble magnet]

It's a healing equipment

[radiant jungle]

oh no i dont have it, ive never even seen that lol

[marble magnet]

Oh

I would say keep it for a few more stages

[radiant jungle]

ok, what am i hoping for from it?

[marble magnet]

A equipment with short cooldown

Usually compaciter, woodsprite and blast shower

And seed of life if it's already used

(all 15 seconds, around that anyway)

[radiant jungle]

ive got foreign fruit does that count

and also i meant like, what effect am i hoping to roll

[marble magnet]

That's a rlly long cooldown, nah

[lavish jacinth]

fruit is 45s iirc (and also kinda garbage)

[lavish jacinth]

It damages the shield, it won't affect their main health under the shield if that's what you're asking

[marble magnet]

Oh uh

Idk tbh

I was just thinking about how much effectiveness You'd get out of bottled chaos

[radiant jungle]

well yeah thats wha i meant, like what can i get out of bottled chaos

[marble magnet]

Any equipment effect

Not sure if its effected by what you unlocked

It's just a fun read

And a potential (but most of the time not worth) pillar skip

[lavish jacinth]

any equipment except these

[marble magnet]

Why not milky chrysalis but volcanic egg is allowed lmao what

[lavish jacinth]

yeah I have no idea what's up with that lol

[radiant jungle]

fuel array? does that mean i have a non zero chance to just explode or is it just do nothing

[lavish jacinth]

no, it rolls any equipment EXCEPT those

[marble magnet]

Expect those

[lavish jacinth]

so you can't get fuel array

[radiant jungle]

ohhh

[lavish jacinth]

the ideal situation with bottled chaos is to have an equipment with a short cooldown, and use it to roll strong effects with a longer cooldown, like preon or whatever

overall it's a pretty mid red though tbh, it can actually harm an equipment spam build due to rolling

[radiant jungle]

I lowkey was thinking it was mid lol but a YouTuber I watched said it was good

[lavish jacinth]

best to take youtubers opinions with a grain of salt, lol

[radiant jungle]

how come

i mean obv im not taking their word as gospel

but like i figured that they would know more abt which items are worth since its literally their job to play lol

[lavish jacinth]

well, depends on the youtuber and the context

[marble magnet]

I meaaaan like

I think it's good...

Then again uh

I'm weird I think Eulogy is the best item in the game

[lavish jacinth]

if it's like an actual guide from someone who makes a lot of ror2 content then it's probably decent advice

...unless it's a super outdated guide and they're saying shit like "only take 5 minutes per stage" but that's unrelated

either way I wouldn't say chaos is horrible, it's like the most mid-tier red in the game

it's just super inconsistent

[marble magnet]

I need to make a ror2 guide thing script

[amber swan]

shrine of shaping maybe

[hard patio]

aaah the new shrine of soul ? yeah that might be it

[fierce yacht]

How do I beat false son? Ive just used the best build I’ve ever made on the game without cheese and got absolutely annihilated , are there any reccomendations for characters and builds to kill him easy, idc how cheesy the method is I just want this mf dead

[lavish jacinth]

the key with false son is to play defensively, stay near cover as much as you can and use the gold pillars as soon as you get any stacks of ruin on you. Get hits on FS where you can, but focus on avoiding all the hazards he throws at you

his AI also gets distracted by minions really easily, so any kind of respawnable minion ( etc) will do an amazing job at drawing his aggro. Regular drones are also good but they die really easily to the lightning, and you'll probably run out of gold to repair them

Anyone with good natural mobility and range tends to do well in the fight, personally I had the easiest time fighting him as Acrid since you can let poison wear him down while you focus on staying alive

(or alternatively, command + sacrifice + drizzle and loop until you're unkillable, that works too)

[radiant jungle]

speaking of false son, can i get some tips with playing him?

like idk, which items i should be going for

[lilac wolf]

do i still get survivor skins for beating the game on eclipse?

[jaunty furnace]

yea

[lilac wolf]

thank you

[jaunty furnace]

atleast you should

who knows, maybe gearbox borked it in some update

i feel like you can never really be sure

[lilac wolf]

hopefully its possible 🙏

[lavish jacinth]

false son works with pretty much everything tbh, although proc items are particularly strong due to a bug with lunar ruin that makes proc chains do exponentially more damage

in general you wanna be abusing lunar ruin a lot, it's a potentially huge damage multiplier that you can basically get for free

his charged primary also has a big radius that scales with height if you use it in the air, and it gets a 1.5 proc coeff if you fall for at least half a second, so use that whenever possible too

[neat panther]

Haven’t played in a while, are there new items in base and/or dlc that alter movesets other than the stuff that turns you into the heretic?

[lavish jacinth]

there's nothing that directly changes your abilities

[livid wedge]

We haven't had any new base items since dlcs started dropping

[lavish jacinth]

the closest you'll get is shuriken or luminous shot that add effects to your primary

[neat panther]

For sure. Thank you.

[keen trail]

can someone name me items that are good on acrid? pls

[lavish jacinth]

damage multipliers are really nice for boosting poison damage, so stuff like etc. is good to get
DoTs, On-kills or minions help out with finishing off enemies weakened by poison, etc.

and ofc mobility items, healing and procs are good as always

[keen trail]

and with false son plis

[lavish jacinth]

False Son is so broken that basically anything works on him lol

even steak is actually slightly useful for once since he gets extra buffs from picking up health increases

[livid wedge]

That's kind of why I don't like playing him

Too easy

[split ridge]

What abilities should I use on mercenary?

[lavish jacinth]

entirely up to preference, all of his skills are good

[keen trail]

and what abilities should i use on engineer

[lavish jacinth]

I'd recommend alt secondary, alt utility, either special
(default special is arguably better but both are fine)

[slow zinc]

Is irradiant pearl 10% stat increase calculated after other items, like let’s say I have a soldier syringe so 1.15 would it just add .1 or 10% of 1.15

[lavish jacinth]

it's calculated the same as other stat buffs, so it's multiplicative to damage, health and regen, and additive for crit chance, move speed and attack speed

[slow zinc]

ahh i see

[lavish jacinth]

it's also multiplicative to armor but that part is bugged and only applies to the base armor that some survivors have, so you get like +2 armor at best

[grizzled oak]

so if I'm in EST does that mean that I, have to get on at 7 am for the new character tomorrow

[jaunty furnace]

if you look up stuff like "10 am pt" google will just show you what that means for you

[grizzled oak]

thanks

[torpid locust]

Question, how do u disable more survivors auto sprints? i did LoaderBody but i also want to add MUL-T. I tried putting a comma in between LoaderBody, MUL-TBody but it only works for loader

[frosty reef]

I think mult is toolbotbody? list_body or body_list with debugtoolkit should give you a full list of all of the body names

[torpid locust]

thank you so much

doesnt work ;-;

[frosty reef]

Debugtoolkit has all the commands in the read me if the list command wasn't correct

[fierce yacht]

What’s the fastest way to farm aurelionite statues or golden halchyon shrines?

[lavish jacinth]

enable command + sacrifice to get more shrines, that's all you can really do

but if you just want to get to gilded coast/path of the colossus, the best way is to go to the bazaar each stage, because there's a decently high chance of gilded coast being in one of the lunar seers, and if you're on a valid stage you can find and break the 3 gold geodes in there to get a guaranteed green portal

[fierce yacht]

What are the Valid stages ? If you know

[lavish jacinth]

first 3 stages of a loop, and iirc going there from stage 5 also works

[fierce yacht]

So , is it possible for me to start a run , find a newt , and get gilded shores at the start of the run?

[lavish jacinth]

yeah

at least I think so

I know you can't get gold shrines on stage 1 but I'm pretty sure you can always get gilded coast in lunar seers

[amber swan]

Yeah you can go to glided stage 1 from newt

[torpid locust]

how do i access this?

[frosty reef]

Thunderstore.com and look up debugtoolkit

[neon rain]

Guys i need help big time

sooooo i went and played risk of rain and my progress reset

And it created a whole new profile with the same exact name as my original profile

Someone help pls

[brittle shuttle]

are you pc

[lavish jacinth]

if you're on PC, you can at least get your progress back easily with the realercheatunlocks mod

[brittle shuttle]

^

[neon rain]

Ok thanks

as it hurts to still see it, i really have no other choice. Thank you guys!

[lavish jacinth]

yeah, it's an unfortunate bug that's been happening lately

at least you're not on console

[broken palm]

Which dlc should I buy

The void guy looks cool but the other dlc adds more stuff

[tawdry vine]

SotV

SotS is meh but SotV is really good

[broken palm]

I see

Also how the hell am I supposed to unlock the rest of the characters when I don’t even know what it’s asking me to do

[tawdry vine]

Which one specifically?

[lavish jacinth]

both are worth getting but yeah, get sotv first

[broken palm]

I don’t know their names

I can tell you the name of the missions tho

[tawdry vine]

What are the names of the missions?

[lavish jacinth]

what is it asking you to do?

[broken palm]

One of them says escape the moon

[tawdry vine]

That means just beat the game

[broken palm]

Oh

[tawdry vine]

Yeah

Specifically by beating the final boss and not obliterating

[broken palm]

The other one says repair the broken robot with the escape pods fuel array I know how to get the fuel array I just can’t find the robot

[tawdry vine]

He's in hell

The imp dimension basically idr the name

[broken palm]

What bro💔

[lavish jacinth]

idk if you want spoilers but ||It's in abyssal depths, on the platforms in the middle of the map||

[broken palm]

On a scale of 1-10 how bad are the spoilers

[tawdry vine]

That's the name right sorry i forgor

[tawdry vine]

Like 1

It's just the location of the dude

[lavish jacinth]

I can just narrow it down to the stage if you want

||(abyssal depths)||

[broken palm]

I already read the other one

Thanks

[tawdry vine]

Np

[broken palm]

The other ones are asking me to beat a boss and stabilize a cell but I’m assuming those will be obvious when I encounter them

[tawdry vine]

Stabilize a cell can be a lil tricky

[lavish jacinth]

yeah, most of the character unlocks are things you'll just run into naturally

[tawdry vine]

But it also goes into more spoiler stuff

[tawdry vine]

Minus the cell

[lavish jacinth]

you do have to do a bit of exploring for the cell one yeah

[broken palm]

Alr

What stage is it on if that’s not a spoiler

[tawdry vine]

So uh

Have you found the blue altars

On stages

[lavish jacinth]

it's on its own stage, but you get there from the bazaar

[broken palm]

The place you have to go through the portal for?

[lavish jacinth]

yea

[broken palm]

I’ve found altars idk if they’re what you’re talking about though

[lavish jacinth]

newt altars, they look like a stone frog thing

[broken palm]

Yeah I think so

[tawdry vine]

Basically you interact with them, then do teleporter, but instead of going through the teleporter you go through the blue portal that appears.

[broken palm]

Yeah ive been through the portal before

I got the artificer from it

[tawdry vine]

So basically

You know the giant hole?

[broken palm]

Yeah

[tawdry vine]

Theres a cave near the bottom

[broken palm]

At the bottom?

[tawdry vine]

Eyup

[lavish jacinth]

you basically just walk backwards off the starting platform in the bazaar

[broken palm]

Alr

[broken palm]

I think I’m actually ass bro I’ve only gotten up to stage 6

[lavish jacinth]

that's pretty normal if you're new to the game tbh

it's a roguelike, the point is to bang your head against a wall until one or the other breaks

[broken palm]

https://tenor.com/view/fire-writing-gif-24533171

Damn

The one time I made it to the abyssal depths is the one time I didn’t bring the fuel array

[lavish jacinth]

it be like that sometimes

might be easier to wait on doing the fuel array quest until you're comfortable getting to at least stage 4 consistently

it's arguably the hardest character unlock

[broken palm]

The thing is I can get to stage 4 consistently but it’s only on bandit and the robot which I don’t enjoy playing as much

I like playing huntress and artificer but they’re so squishy💔

[lavish jacinth]

yeah, they both require being good at dodging

[broken palm]

It feels like artificer moves so slow I can get decently high on huntress but with artificer I get wiped by any boss with big aoe or fast attacks

[lavish jacinth]

all the survivors have the same base move speed, arti just feels a little slower because her acceleration is slightly lower

same with mul-t, plus he's also larger than the other survivors

but imo arti (with flamethrower) is one of the better characters to play if you want to practice dodging, she doesn't have much mobility to lean on besides hover so you're forced to learn how to do it with basic movement

but she's also one of the hardest characters to play in general

[broken palm]

At least he has that move where he becomes fast as shit tbf

Also why does the fuel array keep blowing up

[lavish jacinth]

it explodes when you fall under 50% hp

that's why that unlock is so difficult

[broken palm]

What character could possibly be worth this torment

[lavish jacinth]

they're uh... divisive

again idk if you want it spoiled, but they're very much a "love it or hate it" kind of character, and most people dislike them

[zinc pilot]

I'm not sure if this is the right channel for this but can I get some help for the false son fight? I've been trying for like 3 days straight and can't do it.

[broken palm]

Is it the lizard guy

[lavish jacinth]

nah, it's the plant roomba

[broken palm]

If it’s not the lizard guy I’m not worried about it I’ll get whatever that is later✌️

[lavish jacinth]

the key with false son is playing defensively, stay near cover as much as you can and focus on dealing with all of the hazards that he throws at you, and just wear him down. Also try to stay near where the gold pillars spawn and use them as soon as you get any lunar ruin on you

His AI also gets distracted really easily, so having respawnable minions can make a huge difference if you're able to get some ( etc)

[zinc pilot]

I'm trying with railgunner currently. I have been using drones but it just falls apart in the second phase, i usually can't deal with the golems that keep spawning while dodging the laser.

I normally don't even get to the second phase tbh, maybe it's just skill issue

I usually die to the teleport attack he has

[lavish jacinth]

yeah, the dash and the spike shotgun in phase 1 are insanely dangerous, keeping some cover between you and the boss is vital

[lavish jacinth]

drones help, but they tend to die pretty quickly and you'll likely run out of gold to repair them.
Railgunner has a hard time with the golems if you don't have some good cc items. Cryocharge helps though

[zinc pilot]

The shotgun isn't a problem, but the dash feels like it either hits me or it doesn't based on nothing. I've died to it while with decent movement but survived while having basically nothing.

[lavish jacinth]

the shotgun is more of a problem for melee survivors

[zinc pilot]

I feel like I either am missing an important part about how I'm supposed to play against him or I'm just bad, but I don't think I'm bad? Mithrix never was this much of a problem

[lavish jacinth]

the fight is really different from mithrix

[zinc pilot]

Yeah, mithrix has more exploitable weak spots I fell like

[lavish jacinth]

with mith you just watch his attacks and then punish him, but false son is so fast and chaotic that you don't get many good damage windows

[zinc pilot]

Vertical mobility trivialises him quite a bit

[lavish jacinth]

that too

and tbf, false son's dash in phase 1 is just a little bit bullshit, but staying behind cover usually works

[zinc pilot]

I'll try to cover myself more, I really never do that

Mostly because it makes it harder to quick scope

[lavish jacinth]

cover is absolutely vital for that fight

[zinc pilot]

I hope that's why I've been having problems because it's pretty easy to fix lol

Better then just general bad gameplay at least

[lavish jacinth]

fortunately the dash is only a major problem in phase 1, iirc he gets slower with every phase

in phase 2 and 3 you can basically just walk backwards and it'll pretty consistently miss

having slowing effects also helps

[zinc pilot]

Thanks a lot, I'll try again later to see if anything changes.

[lavish jacinth]

np

[amber swan]

He doesnt have a dash in phase 2 and 3

[lavish jacinth]

doesn't he? or am I just thinking of the slam

[radiant jungle]

Is there multiple saves in this game

[primal vector]

Like profiles? That yes

[jaunty furnace]

as in for unlocks or for runs?

because yes theres a profile system for unlocks and stats and whatnot, you can change it in the top right
there is also a mod that saves your run at the start of each stage so you can continue later, but there is only one save slot per gamemode

[radiant jungle]

I’m not sure of the specifics, was just wondering since I share an account with my brother if he could make a new save

[jaunty furnace]

yup

you just make a new one in the top right of the main menu

just dont forget to switch to yours when playing :P

that will probably happen a couple times

[marble magnet]

I need help

Do I keep exec card for stage 5

Or take the FMP (I have two frost relics and a gas, but no cooldown reduction)

[tender temple]

Find another equipment

If there's none just keep the card

Fmp isn't gonna do much with just that

Like it'd be okay but more items is even better

[marble magnet]

Alr

Thanks

Ima keep the exec card

Imagine if I find like 7 will o wisps next stage ♥️

[hoary sedge]

stage 5s often have equip multishops so keeping card also helps you get a better one for the moon

[marble magnet]

I also wasn't considering a potential vase from Tri shops

[sharp vapor]

Will they ever add a ror1 character

[worn widget]

guys does drifter violate nintendo's patent about catching creatures and battling with them?

[livid wedge]

They did. Chef and bandit

Commando, huntress, mercenary

A lot of 1 survivors are in 2

[sharp vapor]

I mean new ones

Chef don’t count cuz he’s boring

[lavish jacinth]

says the guy with the chef role

[livid wedge]

Ah, now we're creating arbitrary criteria

Damn shame

You see the drifter gameplay, fax?

[lavish jacinth]

yep

[livid wedge]

She looks fun. Was fun in returns and looks just as fun for 2

[lavish jacinth]

well, in the dev diary at least, I didn't watch the stream much

[livid wedge]

Fair

[lavish jacinth]

I didn't care for her in rorr tbh but her kit looks interesting in 2

[livid wedge]

She was the one melee I liked playing in returns

Her passive looks way too strong, though

[lavish jacinth]

the stat buffs from carrying scrap?

I could see it being strong, but not game-breaking or anything

It seems like they've toned down the power creep a little bit compared to sots

I'm more curious about how repossess is gonna work, especially if you can throw enemies

[livid wedge]

Suncles did say you can't carry stuff between stages

[lavish jacinth]

I'm assuming you can't just like, throw bosses off of cliffs or whatever

[viral warren]

Can a drifter carrying someone be picked up by another drifter?

I dream of the totem pole

[lavish jacinth]

it IS cool that they created a whole system to let you grab and throw stuff though, I imagine that wasn't a small amount of work

[livid wedge]

Wouldn't that be matroshka, not a totem pole

[viral warren]

Oh that’s how it works?

[livid wedge]

Nesting dolls because the character is held inside the bag

[viral warren]

I can’t watch the trailer rn so I just assumed based on what people said

[livid wedge]

Yeah, I don't know why people keep saying totem pole

[viral warren]

I thought drifter held things above them

[livid wedge]

Nah, her bag of mystery

Stuffs them in the bag
