[lone compass]

they have set loadouts

Dude...

[steady ruin]

Do you keep your drones in A Moment, Whole scav lunar coins stage

[mellow crystal]

Yeah but like how many items in those loadouts

[lone compass]

kipkip is just a monsoon player

[lavish jacinth]

yeah

[steady ruin]

ty

[sharp sundial]

couldn't you just use pylon to keep him from getting the heal off from medkits

or is the gap between zaps too long

[vague hedge]

kipkip also has a billion monster teeth

and a rejuv rack and a corpsebloom

so actually its 8 billion monster teeth

[sharp sundial]

yeah true, ig you'd have to be really patient with waiting for him to thqwib you from far away, then punch

tbh all of this is irrelevant because looped runs should just melt them if you've been taking damage

at least ime

[vague hedge]

a lot of runs dont break through kipkip unless theyre super turbo optimized or have a way to push kipkip in a consistent and controlled way to deny tooth healing

bleed stacking is an option but have fun sitting on your dick doing that for the next 3 hours or so

[lone compass]

still has monster teeth, and unless you have a bunch of lysate cells you still have a bunch of downtime

[sharp sundial]

pretty sure its just one lysate for there to be a pylon up at all time with good timing

idk havent fought kipkip in a while so I cant talk

[dark quiver]

chat im a bit confused, is it normal for scrappers to just simply stop spawning on later stages? i never find any past stage 6, maybe im just blind or smthing

[lavish jacinth]

No, they can spawn on every normal stage and are decently common

[dark quiver]

so im just that blind huh

[lavish jacinth]

Probably

[dark quiver]

scrapping 6 elusive antlers wouldve been so insanely good

[lavish jacinth]

Definitely wouldn't be anywhere near my scrap list but you do you I guess

[dark quiver]

y, i dont see much of a use for that when i have to be close with void fiend

[lavish jacinth]

Speed is always good

[dark quiver]

ig, but 6 is way more than needed

[lavish jacinth]

Yeah, its excessive but better than not having em imo, unless you've also got a bunch of goat hooves or something

[dark quiver]

4 energy drinks

[jaunty furnace]

i only really want 1

unless im desperate for speed

[lavish jacinth]

The best play would've been to scrap them as you find them so you only ever get 1 or 2, but don't have to get rid of them entirely

[dark quiver]

i got 2 from the gold boss thing

[jaunty furnace]

i dont think thats the best play lol

[lavish jacinth]

I mean, you literally just said yourself that you only want one

If you get an extra one out of a chest you can leave it on the ground and scrap the one you have

Or don't, it's not like it stacks badly

Technically it's the best-stacking speed item in the game I think, it's just mildly annoying to use

[dark quiver]

cant disagree, the speed is insane

[jaunty furnace]

thought you meant "Scrap that shit Instantly. You will totally get another so scrap it now."

[lavish jacinth]

Ah
Mb then, bad phrasing

[ornate gust]

How do I play the previous prismatic trials? is it just changing the time and date of my pc

[sick sorrel]

I don't think that they are accessible

Accessable*

-# My English 🥀

[mental sierra]

If im carrying fuel array and i open a void cradle do i die

[livid wedge]

Yes

Unless you have a warped echo

[jaunty furnace]

you can use barrier or //warped echo

[mental sierra]

Alr

[livid wedge]

Just tougher times is risky

[lone compass]

rain...

[willow iris]

If my friend has only SotV and I have both SotV and SotS, can they play with SotS content if I host?

[hoary sedge]

yes

they can't unlock the sots characters but anything else is fair game

[marble magnet]

Playing loader rn

Does turning around in the air (when launched) slow distance?

[jaunty furnace]

yes, but they cannot use the survivors and they cannot get any sots achievements

[lavish jacinth]

If you're holding that direction then yeah, but if you have a ton of momentum it'll be hard to notice

[marble magnet]

Okee

[willow iris]

Are the stats at lvl 94 worth picking up Longstanding Solitude for? (Then getting rid of it at a cleansing pool)

[jaunty furnace]

i assume they are ridiculous

havent picked up a lunar in ages though

[mellow crystal]

Longstanding breaks the game yes

Like 10x more than glass trans or gesture + tonic do honestly

[willow iris]

What's glass trans?

[mellow crystal]

and

[willow iris]

Ooohhhhh

[errant patio]

Hello, i've unlocked an artifact for elite mobs, but how do I unlock the next ones ? Is there a legit way or do i need to use wiki ? and if so, how did people figure these out ?

[lavish jacinth]

The other artifact codes are hidden throughout the rest of the game

[errant patio]

okay thanks ! I've not spotted any but i'll try to figure these out

[lavish jacinth]

But you can also just look them up if you don't wanna do the scavenger hunt

The wiki also has a hint guide on the artifacts page, if you wanna find them legit but get stuck

[errant patio]

Oh, can you give me the page pls ?

i'll love a lil hint, i'm lost right now

[lavish jacinth]

https://riskofrain2.wiki.gg/wiki/Artifact_Hints

[errant patio]

i've spoiled myself the "command" artifact and it actually improves the game so much

[lavish jacinth]

it makes it pretty boring imo, but to each their own

[jaunty furnace]

ehhhh

[livid wedge]

Same

And I usrd to play with command a shit ton

Game got more fun after I stopped

[crisp timber]

As in you already took the green portal on stage 1?

[livid wedge]

The green portal isn't at the teleporter on non-colossus stages

It appears next to the halcyonite shrine once you've defeated the gilded halcyonite

[livid wedge]

Uh, the on the reformed altar and treeborn colony/golden dieback, the green portal is guaranteed

[scarlet dagger]

Or for fun. Let people play the game how they want. Sure you can add that it can make the game incredibly easy and boring

[willow iris]

If you use enough mountain shrines, can it overflow the director into not spawning anything?

[lavish jacinth]

Yep, although it only really happens deep into loops

[dapper bison]

Such a good page

I like command to see how I can make things work or testing out builds and such. Can be fun seeing some wacky stuff

[glacial quail]

quick question. Is there an artifact code on every map? (no spoilers please) I've found a decent amount so far, but haven't played/searched since before verdant falls, sundered grove, and the sots dlc was released.

spoilers ||(I have found one on verdant falls since, but wanted to know before I pull my hair out trying to find some on the other new maps)||

[lavish jacinth]

not every map has one, but most of them do

not really a spoiler but to help you narrow it down ||none of the dlc maps have them, but almost all of the basegame maps do||

[lavish jacinth]

...not sure how you found one on sundered grove though, it's one of the only non-dlc maps that doesn't have one

[dim sky]

will every survivor get a new skin with alloyed collective?

[dusky raven]

Every base game survivor

DLC excluded

[tender temple]

Only base game survivors, won't be any cross dlc skins anymore

[topaz stirrup]

Booooo. Guess I need to learn Blender and Unity then lol

https://tenor.com/view/thanos-gif-25117042

[lime river]

has anyone seen the radio scanner for disturbed impact?

[wintry crag]

if i have the sots dlc and beat the false son with my friend who doesnt have the dlc, does my friend get the sots skin too ?

[trim lynx]

nop

[wintry crag]

aw man

when mithrix takes our items does he also get extra lives with Dios

[marble magnet]

Is 25% cooldown reduction a second or

(alien head(

[daring cloak]

Its 25% less of what it was before

So if a skill has a 4 second cooldown it'd go down to 3

If it had say a 40 second cooldown it'd go down to 30

[marble magnet]

Ah

Alr

Thanks

(I'm bad at math)

[lone compass]

you either damage him enough to get it back or he just can't use it at all

[glacial quail]

Sorry. Verdant falls, not sundered grove.

[errant patio]

Hi, what is this for in siren's call ?

[jaunty furnace]

cleanses lunars and gives you a pearl

[lone compass]

that is a cleansing pool, it takes away one random lunar item from your inventory and converts it into either a pearl, which gives +10% max health, or an irridiant pearl, that gives +10% to all stats

irridiant pearls are much rarer

[honest badger]

irradiant pearls are 1 in 10

[livid wedge]

They're 1 in 5 now

Used to be 1 in 20

Err, 1 in 25

[dapper bison]

Wish they had a way to cleanse void items

[fringe kiln]

uhhh ask mithrix to do it for you

[dapper bison]

[fringe kiln]

wait mithrix knows about the void right?

[dim sky]

oh, are the sotv and sots survivors not getting skins for sure or is it something like some of them are and some arent?

[glacial knoll]

None of the 7 dlc survivors are getting a AC skin

[dim sky]

i see

[dim sky]

can i not complete bandit:sadist against a boss?

[silent shoal]

Has to be the final boss on commencement

[glacial knoll]

Sadist is just 20 hemmorage on any enemy

[dim sky]

yeah i got it against alloy worship unit

[lyric lagoon]

How do I finish the race?

[frosty reef]

you might need to be a bit more specific

[lyric lagoon]

When I was playing at a party, there was an ending with the moon, but now I'm going on endlessly and there's no end.

[jaunty furnace]

use the primordial teleporter normally without aligning it with the planet/using a portal

every stage 5 has a primordial teleporter

[lyric lagoon]

"without aligning it with the planet"?

[frosty reef]

#ror2-game-questions message loop means endless. Aligned to moon means final boss. The text pops up in the left bottom of the screen

You don't want the outer tp prongs to be stacked if you want to go to the moon

[lyric lagoon]

oh my god, thank you

I couldn't get out for 2 hours

[primal vector]

On the bright side you probably have unlocked some stuff on the way

[lyric lagoon]

I want to eat

[south egret]

are we sure?
SotV survivors got skins for SotS

[dusky raven]

From the Suncles himself

[lone compass]

thats so comical... you goated for surviving though

[primal vector]

GG

[south egret]

womp womp

I understand where this is coming from, but that's kinda lame

if this is the only reason*

[dusky raven]

They are just against cross dlc content as a whole

[south egret]

which sucks, because it's very cool to see content like that

if I paid for one dlc to play one character, and I pay more money, I should get the benefits that the other survivors get for the survivor I will be playing a lot

railgunner my beloved

it's arbitrary that mando will get a skin with every dlc, whereas chef isn't going to get any additional skins, only because chef was added years after mando

if it's an issue of the dev team being too small, not having enough time to ideate and create, that I understand. But just "we don't want you guys to have to pay too much money"? That's lame

[gaunt bay]

still baffles me somewhat that the dlc survivors in their own dlc aren't getting their respective skin either

[south egret]

yeah lmao

[sharp sundial]

oh yeah that doesn't make much sense huh

I can sorta understand not giving sotv survivors 2 skins from different dlcs cause that sorta enforces that you want to buy sotv first and then the others but...not giving ac characters their own skins from their own dlc just makes that problem worse in the future

(i guess its consistent with sots survivors not getting prime meridian skins...sigh...)

[tender temple]

asking people to buy sotv just to get sdp in ac is a bit much methinks

but skins is where we cross the line

[wintry crag]

Which secondary is better for Bandit ?

[lavish jacinth]

they're both fine, bandit's m2 isn't very important
I prefer the throwing knife, just for the convenience of being able to hemorrhage enemies from more than like 3 feet away

[granite bobcat]

2 questions.

• What does the radio scanner appear as on the radar scanner (dumb names)
• Have they fixed the bug where radio scanner cant spawn on disturbed impact

[dusky raven]

Can confirm Disturbed Impact does work on latest patch, however I can’t remember if it shows up as an item bag or as a chest icon (the old chest icon that printers use, not the new one chests use)

[granite bobcat]

I have just been ignored all item icons because i decided to do my final logbook run with sacrifice to increase those odds of finding interactables

[edgy coyote]

Hey guys does anyone have any advice for me trying to land mercenaries boop consistently

[lavish jacinth]

the dash has to end with merc in the exact center of the enemy's hitbox, so you just have to position yourself correctly.
But iirc the physics changes more or less patched it out of the game, it's incredibly hard to do now if not impossible

[frosty reef]

yeah it's not possible

[pure field]

im trying to get the protein heavy diet thing and i have forty lunar spikes but i still dont have it did i do smth wrong or?

[crisp timber]

you need 44

it's 40 on top of your base count (4)

[topaz stirrup]

max level (longstanding solitude + roll of pennies) + stone flux pauldron + spinel tonic is how I did it

[dim sky]

so sotv and sots survivors arent gonna get any skins in the future?

[topaz stirrup]

Not from Gearbox, at any rate. I'm gonna fire up Blender this afternoon and start w/ Prime Meridian skins for False Son and Seeker lol

[ornate gust]

Do cleansing pools not spawn in artifact of command?

If not does that mean there isnt any way to get pearls in command

[south egret]

it doesn't spawn with sac on

oh wait, I'm wrong. It does not spawn with command on

[south egret]

correct, apparently

[ornate gust]

I see

[south egret]

unless you have a mod that adds a cleansing pool to the bazaar or something

[ornate gust]

But theres a specific pearl command essence menu too

But u cant access that without mods to spawn in a cleansing pool urself

Interesting

[ornate gust]

Yeah that aswell

[south egret]

yup lol

[south python]

what do i need to do to open this chest

[crisp timber]

get to stage 3 within 10 minutes

[south python]

so its impossible for me to open it now

[primal vector]

Yes, you cannot open it this run

[south python]

well i assume its worth getting it

[crisp timber]

nope

[primal vector]

It is related to one unlock

[south python]

after i activate the teleporter no enemies spawn?

cuz i just found this big drone that i would like to buy but im missing some money

[mellow crystal]

During the tp enemy spawns are increased but once it reaches 99% or ends then spawns stop

[crisp timber]

gold per enemy is decreased, though

[south python]

dang that sucks

anyways could u tell me the name of whatever this is so i could read abt this in the wiki

[crisp timber]

TC-280

[south python]

thanks

is there anything more tied to the eggs in sirens call or is it just healing

[crisp timber]

try breaking as many as you can

[south python]

oh

[glacial knoll]

Not really wikis just stupid wording

[south python]

what can i do with this guy

[jaunty furnace]

check your escape pod next time you start a run

[south python]

okay

[jaunty furnace]

the back of it, specifically

[south python]

why cant i escape the arena during the escape sequence?

there is a way blocking me off

[primal vector]

You have to jump into one of the portal that are floating around the arena

[vestal mulch]

Question, relatively new player here and im hunting down the bandit ability from killing mithrix with the revolver and I got the artifact that lets me choose items.

What items should I focus to really pack a punch

[lavish jacinth]

for that achievement specifically, you'll wanna focus on stuff that directly buffs damage, like etc., and avoid proc effects that could steal the kill

( are fine to take though, there's a very small grace period to allow for them)

[vestal mulch]

Bet, thank you very much chief

[zinc mason]

Will (some) of alloyed collective's new stages appear naturally during looping or will you need to do something similar to the path of the colossus? just wondering if something has been said about this already or not

[jaunty furnace]

idk if you meant something different by specifying looping but yes there is maps in the normal pool

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01ucLP9KQ5s

[zinc mason]

cool I hadn't seen this before. That answers my question, thanks

[red agate]

how do i get the i.c.b.m missile?

[jaunty furnace]

you just hope to find it

its a dlc item, so it doesnt have unlocks

itll just appear like any other item as long as you have dlc1

[pure field]

im trying to get scorched earth but no matter how many bullets or panluas or teddy bears i still cant get it

[lavish jacinth]

mix different types of damage multipliers instead of just stacking one thing, and try to hit as many enemies as possible. It adds up the total amount of damage from the attack, it doesn't have to be a single hit

+ is especially effective, transc has a bug where you only take 1 damage per tick while in sojourn and the health bonus can partly cancel out the health lost from glass, letting you stay in sojourn even longer

[pure field]

couldnt that jus kill me faster?

[lavish jacinth]

oh yeah, and if you do kin + swarms you can guarantee a horde of many as a boss, so you'll get a big crowd of enemies that are all affected by AP rounds

[steady stone]

you die faster in general but glass is the best damage stacking item by miles

[lavish jacinth]

transc has a bug where you only take 1 damage per tick while in sojourn and the health bonus can partly cancel out the health lost from glass, letting you stay in sojourn even longer

[steady stone]

AP rounds will realistically never catch up to this

[forest nest]

is there a bug with chef that lets me use buffed ice cube and buffed cleavers within the same buff activation

[lavish jacinth]

yeah

[forest nest]

ah i see alrgiht was just checking to see if this was known lmao thanks

[pure field]

should i stack up on dios jus to be safe

[lavish jacinth]

if you want ig, but sojourn can't kill you

the best red to stack would probably be laser scope I think, along with getting 100% crit chance

[lone compass]

best red to stack is me

domt even get it twisted

[dim sky]

can drifter pick up chests that have been opened?

and shrines that have been fully used

[daring cloak]

Yes used interactables can still be bagged

[lime river]

I alr have 40 lunar spikes why cant I get this

[glacial knoll]

you need to get 40 through growth which would be 44 in total

[lone compass]

you need 40 from growth specifically, the 4 starting ones and backup mags do not count

[lime river]

thanks I almost threw my run away cause of dat

[tender temple]

it also cant be backup mags

specifically growth

wow i cant read

[lone compass]

punching you in the face rn

[tender temple]

im so sorry this will never happen again

[spice pawn]

Any fix for game multiplayer crashing 24/7?

[lavish jacinth]

If you're on steam, turn off crossplay

[spice pawn]

Nah console

[lavish jacinth]

oh, I have no idea then lol

[willow iris]

Is there a specific name for the attack that happens when a void enemy (voidling, void devastator, void reaver)

[lavish jacinth]

the implosion?

I'm assuming you meant "when a void enemy dies"

[willow iris]

Yes

[lavish jacinth]

yeah, implosion is the official name for that

[narrow pine]

i got prime meridian on stage 3, isnt that supposed to be stage 4 only

[steady stone]

Known bug, but it's intended to be stage 4

[narrow pine]

gotcha

[willow iris]

Thank you 🙏

[pure field]

imt rying to get family bonding what if i kill the voidling instead do i styill get it

[lavish jacinth]

1. It specifically has to be mithrix iirc
2. why would you want to put yourself through that

[pure field]

cus false son is the best

[lavish jacinth]

Either way I'm not even sure it's possible with voidling, idk if Auri even spawns in their last phase, and if they do they'll probably just die to the void fog

[south python]

what do the levels do or mean in the game

[lavish jacinth]

levels affect health, damage and regen, both for players and enemies

specifically everything gains +30% of their base health and +20% of base damage/regen per level

[lone compass]

do note most if not all enemies have a regen of 0

and multiplying by 0 just keeps it at 0 lmfao

on the other side of the coin drones have SUPER strong regen cuz they start with, like, 3hp/s

[south python]

this a legendary chest?

i assume yes because i got a red item from it

[lavish jacinth]

yup
it always spawns in that spot

there's always a guaranteed red on stage 4

[south python]

good to know

[gilded path]

guys what are the best defensive items

im always dying on wave 11-14, im just trying to make it to wave 20, and im playing as huntress

[lavish jacinth]

is probably the best on late stages, followed by a few stacks of

but realistically the best defense is a good offense + having enough movement speed to avoid getting hit in the first place

[gilded path]

oh alright

do you have any other tips to get to wave 20, im struggling

[lavish jacinth]

ig just general stuff, full-clear every stage as efficiently as you can and never stop moving. If you're using command then remember to get a lot of item variety as well, it's always better to have a mix of different items working together than just stacking a few things

when in doubt, proc items and damage multipliers are always a safe bet

[gilded path]

okay, i appreciate it

[crisp timber]

you're playing simulacrum?

[gilded path]

idk what that means

[crisp timber]

what do you mean by wave

[gilded path]

stage

[crisp timber]

ohhh

[lone compass]

tougher times is really good

[lavish jacinth]

except when it isn't

[lone compass]

when is it not good?

[lavish jacinth]

approximately 85% of the time, depending on how many stacks you have

but really, safer spaces is pretty much always gonna be better, especially when you're looping

[lone compass]

shaking my fist angrily at you rn

what if I'm playing full damage rex

[lavish jacinth]

that would be an exception, yeah

[lone compass]

what if i dont have dlc 1

[lavish jacinth]

and you could make an argument for engineer since turrets can't exactly dodge

[lavish jacinth]

well then yeah, in that case it's fine, just unreliable

[lone compass]

mine can

im the first and only walky turret main

Actually, i am the turret

[gilded path]

@lavish jacinth thanks for the help, i got my platnium trophy

getting all the items really helped

instead specific ones with stacks

[lavish jacinth]

nice

yeah, item variety is super important

[willow iris]

Has someone done a lunar only run?

[lavish jacinth]

the game's been out for 6 years, tons of people have probably done that

[willow iris]

What are the odds for tonic to give you affliction?

[lavish jacinth]

20%, affected by luck

(clovers will reduce the chance)

[willow iris]

I figured that was the case

[marble bison]

How I can go to deep void portal in Commencement?

[lavish jacinth]

after killing mithrix, run past the escape ship and go back to the starting room, there'll be a glass frog you can pet for 1 lunar coin. Pet it 10 times and the portal will spawn

[pure field]

whats better regular missles or diablo for captain

[jaunty furnace]

diablo is more rewarding if you learn how to use it

[crisp timber]

Orbital’s honestly just better, but Diablo’s is more fun

Diablo’s is good in its own right and lets you cheese a lot of stage stuff like Halcyonite/aggressive waves with shock beacon

But orbital will usually be able to provide you similar DPS and is more flexible

[glacial quail]

what is the drop rate for monster logs? I've been in the void for over thirty minutes killing jailers and I haven't had one drop yet.

[jaunty furnace]

i think might help

i know it works for aspects so maybe logs aswell

but i havent confirmed it

[glacial quail]

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

so purity... would not help

looks like I need to farm until I get enough clovers to balance out my purity

[jaunty furnace]

you may want to check the wiki to confirm if actually affect it

im not 100% sure

[lavish jacinth]

Clovers do affect it

[glacial quail]

oof

welp. I just went ahead and finished the run. I'll have to try again for the monster log and environment log

[lone compass]

or: dont use purity when farming for stuff like this

[lavish jacinth]

that would be best yes

if you wanna shorten your cooldowns there's always

also protip, it's pretty easy to farm a lot of clovers using and the soups at the bazaar (assuming you're using command)

[glacial timber]

Anyone know how to get my progress back. For some reason it’s all gone (I’m on Xbox). The weird thing is some of my progress has saved. Like bandit and captain but then every other character I unlocked is gone.

[lavish jacinth]

if you're on console there isn't much you can do, unfortunately

[glacial timber]

Oh …

[lavish jacinth]

just pray that they fix it when AC comes out

[glacial timber]

Yea hopefully

[lavish jacinth]

at the very least, I think it still tracks achievements outside of the game, so I think it's theoretically possible to restore most of the progress you had before the bug happened, if not all of it

[glacial timber]

I think I might wait till they fix that. Like I don’t mind unlocking all those achievements again but I don’t want to gamble with my progress 😭

[lavish jacinth]

I've heard it has something to do with the quick reset feature on xbox

dunno about other consoles though, there are probably multiple things that cause it

[glacial timber]

Ah ok, I’ll probs step back from the game till the new dlc comes out. I really do hope they fix it. It’s definitely one of my favourite games I have ever played.

[lavish jacinth]

the cruel irony is that it even happens on pc, but it's far less common than other platforms

[glacial timber]

Tragic really. Welp I guess I’ll see this game another time. Thanks for the help

[lavish jacinth]

np

[jaunty furnace]

luminous shot :3

[lavish jacinth]

that too

[carmine sable]

haio

is there a way to escape void locus? i am having a good run, picked it on newt bazaar thinking i could exit it later

[lavish jacinth]

Nope, locus is a dead end

Only place to go is voidling

[carmine sable]

damn, thanks for the info

now i gotta punch the big eye thingy

[lavish jacinth]

Good luck

[fiery rose]

hey there, how do i fix this? my friend is trying to increase the max player amount

[wispy hinge]

What are the best skills for commando

[mellow crystal]

Alt m2 alt util

Special is a debatable topic

Default m2 is serviceable but you should never swap back to default util after unlocking slide

[prime frigate]

Any tips for chef?

[lone compass]

pretty sure the game is locked to 4 players

[glacial matrix]

cook

[prime frigate]

Well, I got what I asked for

[willow iris]

Is there any reason to not get as many stacks of each of heretic's items as possible?

[glacial quail]

are the environment logs in hidden environments picked up by the radar scanner? It didn't look like it was in void purgatory

[lone compass]

hidden realms (and the moon) have their logbook entries unlocked by finding an actual book hidden somewhere

you can look at their locations in the wiki

also they disappear 5 minutes after entering the stage

[glacial quail]

I'm trying to find them without looking at the wiki. I only have 1 left. Are they picked up by the radar scanner

I even mention that i found one in my post and it didn't look like it was getting pinged by the scanner. This is the second time you've responded to one of my posts where it doesn't look like you actually read my post.

[dusky raven]

No, radar scanner will do nothing with the physical logbooks

Doesn’t help that radar scanner and radio scanner have names that are way to similar

And a similar VFX

[lone compass]

what? what i read was
"are the enviroment logs in hidden enviroments (hidden realms) picked up by the radar scanner? (are the radio scanners pinged when i use radar scanner?) it didnt look like it was in void purgatory(void locus)"
which i responded with
"no! hidden realms have books you gotta find"

i only left out the part where books do not get pinged by radar scanner because i honestly didnt even think of that

[glacial quail]

Ahh. Not the radio scanners

I wanted to know if the books were picked up. I'm only missing one and having trouble finding it.

[lone compass]

no, radar scanner does not ping books

i can give you a hint on it if you like

[glacial quail]

Oof. Guess I need to stack tons of goat hooves and feathers and look the old fashioned way

[glacial quail]

Hint might be nice. Last log apart from sundered groves is the planetarium. I've noticed that the latter 2 phases can change/alternate stages, so I assumed that the log needs to be in either the opening stage that remains the same, or in the scars/transition areas. Am I super far off?

[lone compass]

you are not far off on the planetarium one

void locus is up

[glacial quail]

I have locus, ty. This jailer monster log is proving stubborn, even with a half dozen clovers!

[lone compass]

good luck, gang

[glacial quail]

GOT EM BOTH

sweet

[stone lagoon]

How did i die here?

[lavish jacinth]

well, you took a magma worm to the face...

[stone lagoon]

i know, im wondering how I died of fall damage

[lavish jacinth]

oh, that's a bug with warped echo atm I think

if you die while echo's tick damage is active it don't attribute the death correctly

"died to the planet" isn't specifically fall damage, it's just a generic death message for things that don't have an actual name

[stone lagoon]

;-;

[neon hound]

Yo guys is Chris Christodoulou going to be working on the ost for alloyed collective?

[lavish jacinth]

doesn't seem like it, according to the dev blog. Although it sounds like Chris still had some input on it

[sage cape]

will this be the last dlc released for risk of rain 2

or does no one know

[gaunt aurora]

No he's not

[gaunt aurora]

Yes if you're talking about the alloyed collective

[sage cape]

yep I am

has there been a statement to that effect somewhere

[sharp sundial]

i dont believe they've said that, just that it will be the 'best' expansion for the game

[gaunt aurora]

It should be released on November 18th and I haven't really seen any other update about it

[sage cape]

no yeah I know that part I just wanna know if it's gonna be the last one they're ever gonna do

[gaunt aurora]

I don't know

[sage cape]

gotcha

[gaunt aurora]

Sorry if I wasn't much help

[lavish jacinth]

afaik they haven't confirmed a fourth dlc, but they also haven't said that this will be the last one

so we don't know at this point

[sage cape]

nah ur good I appreciate replies in general

[sage cape]

yeah that's what I assumed just wanted to be sure

[glad agate]

hey chat, im new to this game and pretty interested to this game, and i thought that me buying a dlc would be worth it. which dlc should i buy chat? (content wise)

[lavish jacinth]

both are worth it, but if you can only get one, I'd recommend Survivors of the Void first

SotV's content is a lot more focused on expanding on the base game, the SotS stuff is great but it's mostly focused on the alternate path that it adds, so it doesn't have a lot of presence in normal runs

[jaunty furnace]

DeltaRune⁉️

[ionic token]

hello im asking help to get the 12 minion for enggie cuz i have know idea what counts for the thing

[crisp timber]

anything that shows up under the player in the left

turrets, drones, summons

[ionic token]

do i have to do it solo or can i bring a friend?

[jaunty furnace]

players have their own lists of allies so idk how that affects it

[tender temple]

Personally I like to see this as quantity over quality vs quality over quantity

Sotv has a lot more content but it's worse on average while sots has way less but it's better on average

Whenever someone I know asks me which dlc to buy first I really just tell them "do you want more content or better content?"

[mellow crystal]

Yeah sotv has a lot of content that gives you more options for what to do in the run and what happens in the run (from items and enemies) but for half the content I end up thinking "nah I'd rather not, vields and voidling suck ass and viend is boring"
Meanwhile with sots I just have fun with the boss and survivors

[tender temple]

Sotv creates the illusion of choice

Void items? Always picks

Void "alt path"? nobody wants to fight voidling

Void seeds? Always clear

There's a bunch of shit but it doesn't offer any decisionmaking

And decisionmaking is like the core of the game

False son alone offers more of that than anything in sotv

I always asked for more mid-run things to do like hidden realms and whatnot

Then they added fs and wow I was right it did add a lot of replayability value to my runs

[jaunty furnace]

vields is fun

risky bonus stage

[tender temple]

Personally I liked vields more when it had no extra loot and paused timer

Cause the enemies on their own could be a problem and I don't like getting more loot from the stage that already gives me 9 void potentials

And paused timer is more of a me thing cause I personally don't like it working in vields

[jaunty furnace]

for some of them sure but some of them definitely require some decision making
stuff like is good but they may take away scrap/synergy potential

[tender temple]

Lysate/lost seers/vand are the only ones I can think of being any form of decision making

Which is not too much hence why I said that it's quantity over quality

And well I guess benthic but that comes with the fact it's basically an entirely different item effect as well

[weary gale]

hey guys is there a way to change colorblindness settings or allow for some sort of highlight for important landmarks? i just got the game but im colorblind and it makes finding things like the teleporter and chests difficult on some maps

[glad agate]

is guragura the lucky even posible? ive been hitting this dude for 40 mins and it just keeps on healing for 100k 😭

[grizzled oyster]

is there a way to. remove hooks of heresy or nah?

[jaunty furnace]

what

is that a mod or like

some sort of

[glad agate]

no like abselutely no mod no nothing

[mellow crystal]

It's a twisted scav

[jaunty furnace]

i see

[mellow crystal]

The healing one

[mellow crystal]

Which survivor

Wait no the healing one is twiptwip isn't it

[gaunt bay]

kipkip

[mellow crystal]

Fuck wait lemme check the wiki

[gaunt bay]

kipkip is the one that you can softlock on because Lol

[mellow crystal]

Literally nobody I know does twisted scavs so I have to check the wiki for this 😭

[glad agate]

the bird dude when u pick every lunar item thing

[jaunty furnace]

theres a couple settings to slightly help with finding the tp, but other than that you could use mods

i guess you could also lower texture quality to help with chests but thats obviously at the cost of making your game look like shit lol

[weary gale]

oh, what are the settings?

[mellow crystal]

Guragura does not have any healing items, apparently

[jaunty furnace]

theyre all in the first page

[mellow crystal]

Can twisted scavs get new items like regular scavs?

[jaunty furnace]

theres not alot of gameplay settings

[weary gale]

bet thanks

[jaunty furnace]

but some stuff in there is pretty dang useful

[mellow crystal]

Does guragura heal shortly after you damage it?

If so then it probably has medkit which means you just have to keep damaging it constantly

[glad agate]

aight nvm guys i just lost cause he took my 4 death marks and just deleted me

[glad agate]

its like a cd and idk how long

[gaunt bay]

guragura does have spinel tonic tho so maybe it's just using that?
i dont remember if twisted scavs can pick up new items so for now i'm just assuming it's the spinel tonic

[glad agate]

it have 390k ish hp and the time its health drops to 90-130k health it just regened its health to 200k

[gaunt bay]

okay no yeah it's using spinel tonic

[mellow crystal]

Yeah spinel grants 50% max HP for its duration

[glad agate]

is that normal or?

[gaunt bay]

yes

[full apex]

Yea, so as long as theres downtime it 'heals' from that because its filled health up lol

Works for players too technically and you can abuse it with rejuv rack, but dropping tonic is probably not worth it on avg lol

[gaunt bay]

twisted scavengers have preset items and are chosen at random between 4 different scavengers when you go to a moment whole

some of them are real bitches

[glad agate]

also it took 5 of my tougher times so yeah

[mellow crystal]

Twisted scavs don't steal items
That was probably just them getting new items like a regular scav

[glad agate]

idk but the chat said it stole my items

and the item he stole is gone from my inv

[tender temple]

I don't think that's possible

[full apex]

The chat says when they pick up new stuff

5 is how many copies of a white item they get so

Normally the only thing that yoinks items afaik is mith, without mods or smth ofc

[mellow crystal]

It could also be comically timed egocentrism but I'm pretty sure ego only takes one stack at a time

[full apex]

It does yea

It pops up the thingy on the screen too so you should know if its ego

[gaunt bay]

isn't it something like -> too so it's blatantly obvious

[glad agate]

i have no idea what yall are talking about cause im new and only have 20 hours ish on the game but thanks for the help!

[full apex]

Np! Best of luck on your journeys haha

Lots to see

[tender temple]

Because kipkip killed my grandma okay?!

[gaunt bay]

oh kipkip.. what would we do without you..

[mellow crystal]

Kip named kidkid:

[celest flax]

do you get invulnerability the moment you use meridians will?

[brittle shuttle]

yes

[hollow widget]

Noob question, for huntresses special alt unlock, I have to clear a stage without taking damage, can I cheese with transcendence?

[sage cape]

cannot

[hollow widget]

[sage cape]

u can use barriers though

[mellow crystal]

No but barrier from does work since it sets HP to above 100%

And I guess but you're usually not gonna get any use out of it

[sage cape]

if u wanna cheese it use artifact of command then use a bunch of topaz brooches and forgive me please

[hollow widget]

Fair enough

[south egret]

If you want to cheese the game in general, on kill builds are fucking nuts

Especially with swarms on/late game scaling where it spawns five times the enemies

[silent shoal]

Gas and tank, wisp, dagger especially

Dagger itself can just sweep a stage with swarms

[primal plinth]

Guys, which items are good to start with the sniper?

[lavish jacinth]

are the big ones, but anything that multiplies damage in some way is gonna be good, including total damage procs (except crit chance, it's really weak on her)

AoE items like are also really nice to get since she doesn't do the best against crowds

and ofc speed, healing and defense items as usual

[primal plinth]

https://tenor.com/view/gato-joia-gif-27503164

Thanks

[kindred crater]

are Treeborn Colony radio scanner spawns bugged still or have my 21+ attempts with command and sacrifice on just hilariously unlucky. playing on Drizzle fwiw

[lavish jacinth]

yeah, they're still bugged

[kindred crater]

dies

guess that insanity is on pause then lmao. through backreading I assume this applies to Disturbed Impact as well

[lavish jacinth]

disturbed impact is fixed now iirc

[kindred crater]

oh neat

[lavish jacinth]

the whole system for environment logs is just fucked, they can't seem to fix one without breaking another, lol

[magic harbor]

hi does anyone know how to find crossplay

[lavish jacinth]

the only crossplay that exists is between steam and epic games, and it's notoriously glitchy and shouldn't ever be used unless you actually need it

[patent talon]

Is there crossplay between pc and playstation?

?

[steady stone]

No

There's crossplay between Steam and Epic

[patent talon]

Shit actually?

not even if you add them through epic?

[livid wedge]

Correct

[lament pumice]

Guys, does anyone are having problems playing since one random patch its been applied ?

[rare fulcrum]

For one shotting Mithrax, would the boss damage item be better for stacking or the crowbar?

[lavish jacinth]

stack both, plus any other multipliers

[amber swan]

Both. And 5

[lavish jacinth]

mixing different items is always better than just stacking one thing

[rare fulcrum]

Any order I should get them in? I have 20 crowbars along with 2 of those 100% mult crit damage items and 3 ammunitions

[mellow crystal]

Pick-up order doesn't matter for damage calculations

[rare fulcrum]

Still only doing 13k at most with lights out

[amber swan]

6 shaped glass

[mellow crystal]

It's just swapping numbers in multiplication
The result doesn't change

[lavish jacinth]

that's why you mix multipliers
a single delicate watch would instantly make your damage 1.2x better

most multipliers will stack additively with themselves but multiplicatively with each other

(except shaped glass, it actually stacks exponentially)

[rare fulcrum]

Gotcha

What green items should I be picking up? I’m mainly just getting stuff for AOE items like uke and wisp

[lavish jacinth]

well, if you're specifically trying to oneshot mithrix then would be best

other than that, ig just generally good stuff like feather, rose buckler, sale star etc.

5 stacks of regen scrap will get you a free red from the soups at the bazaar/commencement

[rare fulcrum]

Does sale star still do anything if I have enemies drop items?

[lavish jacinth]

oh

[livid wedge]

Lockbox

[lavish jacinth]

^ and the stage 4 legendary chest

but if you've got sacrifice, then you don't really need the extra items anyway

[rare fulcrum]

I’m already getting a lot

[lavish jacinth]

yeah, no need for it then

[rare fulcrum]

Beat the alloys and got conch + natural 51 leaf clover so I’m kinda stacked rn

I try this stupid achievement every other month this might be the one

[lavish jacinth]

for killing mithrix with lights out?

should be pretty easy, all you really need to do is avoid proc items and other stuff that might steal the kill ( are both fine though). If you wanna play it safe, only use the revolver in phase 4 and don't hit him with any other abilities

[forest kettle]

can i crossplay with a nintendo switch?

[lavish jacinth]

no

[rare fulcrum]

Yeah. Just been generally unlucky I think

Yall think this is enough or do I loop again (not an entirely serious question)

Sometimes I only do 165k with lights out but sometimes I do around 4m which slightly worries me

[lavish jacinth]

idk if you're gonna be strong enough with only four bison steaks, maybe go for at least 5

[rare fulcrum]

Okay. I will. You haven’t steered me wrong yet discord user AFaxMachine

[young loom]

Bro where is the teleporter on sky meadow 😭

[jaunty furnace]

look for blue particles

also check underground (not the artifact portal)

[marble magnet]

What category does catalyst fall into?

[distant pasture]

utility

[marble magnet]

Only utility?

[distant pasture]

there are no items which belong to more than 1 category chest lootpool

[marble magnet]

Mocha

Topaz which I swear is found in both healing and utility

[glacial knoll]

absolutely untrue

[young loom]

Blinding Assault or focused assault for Mercenary?

[distant pasture]

oh, ooops, sorry

[young loom]

Also for the stay in air for 30 secs challenge can that be in any game mode?

[distant pasture]

but yeah, catalyst is only utility, because I checked

[lone compass]

yes

[lone compass]

preference

[willow iris]

Is captain the best character to transform into the heretic, since (I think) you keep the microbots

[fickle crescent]

whats the way to get modded ror2 on linux?

[lone compass]

r2modman has a linux version

what distro do you have

[fickle crescent]

pop os

[lone compass]

go into the github and install the .appimage, allow it to run as a program in properties and you're good to go

https://github.com/ebkr/r2modmanPlus/releases/tag/v3.2.9

you have to setup the steam folder manually, too

should be under home/.steam
look for steam.sh in there

.steam is a hidden folder

[marble magnet]

What's uh better for this situation

FMP with 13 willo wisps, 13 gas and 7 ignition tanks

Or fire aspect with 7 ignition tanks

??

[fickle crescent]

i manually selected the ror2 exe for it but what do i do with steam.sh? it was in home/.local/share/Steam btw

[lavish jacinth]

I don't think it's gonna matter at this point

I'd go with fire aspect just for the novelty ig

[marble magnet]

Truesies

[marble magnet]

Additional question

Is fighting false son a 1 time per run thing or

[lavish jacinth]

It's supposed to be a one time thing but I think it's possible to get back to prime meridian through lunar seers

[marble magnet]

Noted thank youu

You can really win any run if you just don't greed during the first loop back huh

[lone compass]

select the .sh in steam directory in settings

[fickle crescent]

the "change steam folder" setting?

[lone compass]

yuh

[fickle crescent]

works, thank you!

[primal plinth]

guys, does the captain diablo achievement works on easy mode?

[willow iris]

Yes

[lone compass]

yes

[lone compass]

no problem

[dim sky]

are scrappers guaranteed on stage 5?

[lone compass]

nope

but stage 5s have so many credits there's a good chance you'll find one

[jaunty furnace]

1. youre missing which is a big part of fmp build
2. youre looping so nothing matters at that point
3. as was said already, you dont get aspects often (let alone good ones) so might as well fuck around with it

[willow iris]

what's the best equipment for heretic?

[amber swan]

if shadow fade spam

anything works on her tho, she has big base damage and hp

[lavish jacinth]

don't take though

[amber swan]

yeah do not

[lavish jacinth]

it multiplies her negative health regen

[amber swan]

negative health regen atomic bomb

[willow iris]

What if you're in multiplayer?

[lavish jacinth]

same thing

[willow iris]

I meant with

[lavish jacinth]

just stay away from teammates

[amber swan]

wait does tincture stop heretics neg regen

[lavish jacinth]

tincture also deals significantly less damage to teammates

it's only half the damage it deals to yourself

[amber swan]

and scales off of max health

[willow iris]

Doesnt it scale off of your own max health?

[lavish jacinth]

yeah

[lavish jacinth]

maybe? iirc the regular burn debuff stops regen, but idk about tincture burn

oh yeah, and maybe don't take tincture if you have since it also increase the self-damage

[willow iris]

I appreciate the advice

Is the gold=exp lunar really bad for multiplayer? (I forgot what it's called)

[lone compass]

Yes

never take it

and its called Longstanding Solitude

[dim sky]

i see

[willow iris]

What if everyone in the lobby had a Longstanding Solitude

[lone compass]

its less terrible

still not really worth it

[willow iris]

Is there any way to increase the chance of seeing an aspect other than

[lone compass]

because of halcyon shrines specifically, they drop multiple blessings

[lone compass]

nope

[lavish jacinth]

artifact of honor, kinda

[lone compass]

this works too?

[lavish jacinth]

yeah, honor elites can drop aspects

[lone compass]

they can also unlock brainstalks when you kill the stage 1 boss lmao

[lavish jacinth]

swarms would also help

[lone compass]

and medkit i guess, but you'll get that on the way to buwarks ambry

[lavish jacinth]

I think honor only converts enemies to t1 elites though, so it wouldn't help with the t2 aspects

but the t2 aspects are useless except for twisted, so no huge loss there ig

[willow iris]

Does 's regeneration buff scale with level

[lavish jacinth]

yeah

although it's only +0.32hp/s per level

[marble magnet]

Ok just wanna make sure right

The DLC price will be the exact same 12 pounds it was for the last two, yea?

Or how ever much it was in other currencies

[primal vector]

The same price the other DLCs are

[marble magnet]

Alr

Just wanna check before I accidentally spend too much one 1 game and not able to afford the dlc too eheh

Thanks ♥️♥️♥️

[amber swan]

Its really funny in multiplayer as it doubles the cost of all interactables for no reason

[cyan niche]

Are there hidden Equipments? I got 1 at the beginning of the run and got 2 more in the artifact room but I haven’t heard people mention them

[brittle shuttle]

all elites have a comically low chance to drop their aspect

which just gives you their effects minus the damage and hp multipliers

generally theres only like two maybe three good elite aspects though the rest are just better off as majority of normal equipments

[cyan niche]

Ig I just have bad luck😭

[brittle shuttle]

the very opposite idk how you got bad luck from that statement but theyre rare as shit

so getting one let alone fucking three in the same run is nutty

[timid matrix]

No you are v e r y lucky
They are a 1/4000 drop and are equipment that gives you the elite's powers
I only see one once every 30 runs yet you got 3 in 1 run

[cyan niche]

I miss interrupted it, I thought you meant they had comically easy chance😭

[mellow crystal]

1/4000 is lower than the chance to get an item from a small chest!

[timid matrix]

True!

[cyan niche]

Is there an overall best or a most wanted elite aspect?

[brittle shuttle]

ifrits destruction and silence between two strikes

blazing elite and overloading elite respectively

one gives you a guarenteed burn debuff to all of your attacks that can be enhanced a fuckton by ignition tanks

and the other one gives you the little overloading shitballs on all of your attacks and converts 50% of your health into shield which is just better health

all the other ones range from underwhelming to just useless

[cyan niche]

Wait since every elite has the chance to drop one does that include the ones on the moon?

[brittle shuttle]

i guess gilded is solid though that has a really high chance of just crashing your game

[brittle shuttle]

yeah but good luck getting them to shit out their aspect

its not even that good those elites are just scary because of how much they bloat their stats (stats that you dont inherit upon getting their aspect)

[hoary sedge]

tbf perfected is one of the better aspects

the bombs are decent passive damage and cripple on hit is very solid

its just borderline impossible to get without specifically grinding for it and you can only use it for like 1 stage

[brittle shuttle]

nothing that warrants taking over an equip assuming your equip isnt dogshit

[hoary sedge]

sure but isnt that just basically every aspect

[brittle shuttle]

its in the same tier as gilded imo which is not as abysmal as everything else but if you want le optimized run just take an equip

[brittle shuttle]

would not say for blazing and overloading

[hoary sedge]

blazing is character dependent and kinda needs tank to be better than a good equip imo

overloading is the main exception

[mellow crystal]

Doesn't the burn from blazing do 50% total damage

[cyan niche]

So besides the 1 shot 1 use gun, what equipment should I look out for. I tend to go for the giant zap equip but what’s your guys go to equip

[mellow crystal]

It's basically a behemoth

[hoary sedge]

wait i totally forgot it was total damage lmao

[mellow crystal]

for pillar skipping
Uhhhhhhhhh

[hoary sedge]

nvm then

[mellow crystal]

and

[brittle shuttle]

behemoth being a fucking nutty item blazing also applying for death mark and everyones favorite item

[cyan niche]

What does that equip do, I haven’t seen it in my runs before

[hoary sedge]

and are really really good just bc of the sheer quality and quantity of items they get you (respectively)

[mellow crystal]

Creates a temporary "portal" between where you are and where you're looking
Long enough range to allow you to head straight to the mithrix arena

[hoary sedge]

is insane if you have the items to make it work

and i wouldnt call a go-to necessarily but definitely dont discount it

[cyan niche]

What does the doll do😭 I don’t know much of any items

[hoary sedge]

repeatedly triggers on-kill items

[mellow crystal]

Tosses a doll that spams your on-kill effects

The doll can also stick to enemies if it lands on them which is funny and useful

[cyan niche]

So like the explosion from wisps?

[hoary sedge]

yeah

[mellow crystal]

Yea
Gasoline, willowisp, hunter's harpoon, cagger

Chronic

[hoary sedge]

it also works with really well

basically just removes the cooldown

[mellow crystal]

Satalyst yeah

[brittle shuttle]

topaz frost relic bandolier ghors tome

[hoary sedge]

resonance disk

[mellow crystal]

Disc

[cyan niche]

Is there an app for the items🥀 I don’t know what that one does either

[brittle shuttle]

fmp how i love you

[brittle shuttle]

just check your in game log

[mellow crystal]

ror2 wiki.gg

[hoary sedge]

although having res disk with it is very liable to get you kicked out of the bazaar lmao

[mellow crystal]

Kid named you

[timid matrix]

You can access the logbook in the pause menu

[amber swan]

also 30% increased movement speed

[reef night]

I had this game recommended to me for relaxing mindless gameplay, now I am playing monsoon, beat the game 3 times total even though it has been like 20 hrs and that felt like pure luck getting good printers or the drone red item. Am I missing smthing?
I need a relaxing game now to play to calm myself from raging in this game

[lavish jacinth]

I dunno if I'd call ror2 "relaxing" but you can definitely get to a point where you can win runs consistently without having to try too hard.
A lot of it is just practice and generally understanding how items interact, but the biggest thing gameplay-wise is to full-clear every stage and not rush the teleporter, and learning enemy attack patterns and target priority and stuff

protip btw, item variety is always better than stacking a small number of good items, because items tend to multiply each other's effects, especially damage items. "getting good printers" isn't nearly as important as it seems, because generally you don't want to go for huge stacks of things

[jaunty furnace]

i feel like you should just. discover the items yourself

i dont really see the point in spoiling all the items for yourself

[left trellis]

"is there an app for the items" yes. it's called Logbook. you can download it on the main menu

[jaunty furnace]

that too yea

[mellow crystal]

Yeah like fax said, ror2 is relaxing because it's a roguelike that becomes easy after some practice, not because it's an easy game in general

Aside from that and what fax said, one important piece of info is that a vaaaaast majority of attacks are easily avoided by either just moving around the enemy in a circle, or sprinting perpendicular to or away from the attack

The enemies that aren't easily dodged like that are the ones you wanna prioritize and learn

[jaunty furnace]

ror2 by default is a cool and challenging strategical game, but if you want to strip it of all difficulty and just turn it into a mindless afk power fantasy, then it lets you do that too

theres these things called "artifacts" that change the game, and thats what the person that recommended it to you was probably using to make it super easy

stage 5 has a hidden portal that lets you input a code to unlock a certain artifact. the artifact codes are scattered throughout the game, but if you dont want to hunt for them then you can just use the wiki

the artifacts people use to make the game easy are command, sacrifice, and swarms

i personally wouldnt recommend removing all the challenge of the game, but its your choice if you just want an easy experience

[livid wedge]

The correct way to play the game is what is most fun

[hoary coral]

Is anyone having a problem playing RoR2 with friends? Cause for some reason, my side hosting the room seem fine but ppl joining in seem to be rly laggy and vice versa

[celest flax]

does beating eclipse 1 count as beating the game on monsoon?

[lavish jacinth]

Yeah

Although eclipse wins don't give survivor logs for some reason, but you'll get mastery skins

[lavish jacinth]

Ror2's multiplayer is peer2peer, so that'll happen if you live far away from your friends or have bad internet

[south python]

i just heard that captain has the single strongest attack in the game, is that true? and if it is how do i unlock it

[lone compass]

called the diablo strike, 40000% damage

kill the final boss with a supply beacon

[lavish jacinth]

*with the caveat that it takes 20 seconds to land

it's the strongest in terms of raw damage, but it's not like some busted instawin ability

[mellow crystal]

If anything the strongest strongest individual ability probably goes to seeker's sojourn or meditate

[lavish jacinth]

yeah

[south python]

are there any rules on which items the 3d printer picks or is it just random

[lavish jacinth]

it'll always take scrap first, otherwise it's totally random

[south python]

thanks

[south python]

me see big number me happy

ngl 20 seconds is still kinda long

[lavish jacinth]

yeah, the idea is to pair it with taser and shock beacons to keep enemies in place

it's a gimmick ability, but it's a gimmick that works, if you know how to use it

[mental sierra]

Is damage from gas and ignitions affected by ap rounds, crowbars, watches etc?

[lavish jacinth]

yep

damage multipliers affect ALL damage you deal, as long as it meets the condition for that item

[mental sierra]

it says “base damage”

[lavish jacinth]

yeah

[lone compass]

plus boosts

[mental sierra]

alr nice i didn’t know that

[lavish jacinth]

damage multipliers are applied after that

[lone compass]

next ror2 update makes all damage boosts additive

[willow iris]

Does Diablo strike come down sooner with more attack speed?

[lavish jacinth]

nope

there's no way to make it drop faster

[willow iris]

Is it VERY bad for multiplayer, or is the only issue the people I'm playing with being stupid

[lavish jacinth]

probably an issue with other players lol

there's a giant red circle on the ground for 20 seconds, all they have to do is not stand in it

...actually iirc there is a visual bug that makes it disappear shortly before landing, but you can still see where it is for most of the animation

[south python]

with recycler u can only get the same rarity items right?

[lavish jacinth]

yeah

[south python]

how to change between the 2 M1 captain has?

[lavish jacinth]

he doesn't have two primaries?

you can change how accurate it is by charging it, if that's what you mean

[south python]

i mean

swap to the healing one

[lavish jacinth]

oh you mean beacons

you change which one is equipped in the loadout menu, then when placing it you hit either m1 or m2 to choose which one to place

[south python]

no like

during a bossfight i kinda panicked

and i somehow switched the shotgun thing to a one with a green cross icon

[lavish jacinth]

wut

[hoary sedge]

huh?

do you have a screenshot

[sharp sundial]

I think he's saying he hit the special button, since you use primary and secondary to drop the beacons

so his primary got 'replaced' by healing beacon

[hoary sedge]

oh maybe

if that's what happened you can just sprint to cancel it

[south python]

yea thats what happened probably

cuz i thought like

yeah i thought he had 2 primaries because of this

can u repair drones after they die

nvm i found out myself

[graceful flare]

what items am i missing for yellows/lunar

[last field]

pearl and irradiant pearl for yellows
brittle crown, purity, visions of heresy, hooks of heresy, strides of heresy, defiant gouge, and hellfire tincture for lunars

[graceful flare]

thanks!

does mul-t power mode double the visions of heresy primary?

[celest flax]

i got 3 scavengers on the same stage but only one dropped the bag, is that a bug or what

[pastel epoch]

Only the first one killed a stage drops a bag

[marsh gust]

i dont believe it does
but it does replace both primaries with retool

instead hooks will replace the second one with power mode

[wintry crag]

How many gesture of the drowned do I need for my BFG equipment to be an automatic with no cooldowns

[jaunty furnace]

idk but grab some and to help with it further

[wintry crag]

What does do again

[jaunty furnace]

lower equip cooldown on kill

by a flat amount of seconds

[graceful flare]

does fuel cell actually help with gestures?

doesnt it just auto activate the eqpt anyway?

[jaunty furnace]

fuel cell lowers the cooldown aswell

[graceful flare]

oh i didnt know that i see

[hoary sedge]

23 for a 2 second cooldown, and the charge up takes 2 seconds (iirc you can't charge multiple at once)

[wintry crag]

Ah so the lowest I could do is 2 seconds

[fossil ice]

does your run end after getting an artifact or am I able to go back afterwards

[lavish jacinth]

no, you'll just loop

[fossil ice]

k thanks

[gusty coral]

how do i get to the void fields

[lavish jacinth]

go to the bazaar and jump backwards off the starting platform, somewhere down below there'll be a cave that leads there

[gusty coral]

thank you comrade

[vivid talon]

anyone else having issues with input delay or lag with private multiplayer?

[modern totem]

I don't know if this counts as a question, but I just unlocked False Son in ro2 and I wanted to know if he is strong or not (and maybe know some builds for him too)

[mellow crystal]

He is the 2nd strongest in the entire game yes

He works best with hp items and burst items like
And obviously damage, movespeed, and healing (from most to least important)

Though his base kit already has an innate way to increase damage movespeed and regen

[lavish jacinth]

he also does really well with proc items, with lunar ruin being broken the way it is (figuratively and literally), plus his charged slam gets a 1.5 proc coeff if you slam from high enough in the air

basically false son works with anything

[fossil ice]

why didnt I start modding before? ts is so peak 🥹

[pallid mirage]

What is your guy's favorite song in ror2

[mellow crystal]

False son theme is the first thing that comes to mind

I have a lot of favorites but that's always the one that stands out to me

[pallid mirage]

This will probably be theost relatable response I could get for this question

[gusty oyster]

hi

[pallid mirage]

Hilo

[gusty oyster]

who want play today in risk of rain ?

[mellow crystal]

#lfg-pc-ror2

[gusty oyster]

ok

[pallid mirage]

Nope, bed time

[wintry crag]

What is the benefit of taking a detour to the void fields ?

[wintry crag]

Who’s the first

[brittle shuttle]

items galore the stage counter doesnt increase and the timer barely increases

[wintry crag]

It’s best to collect the items after you finish all 8 of the things right

[hoary sedge]

if you think you can clear them yeah, but you don't need many healing items to be able to full loot the stage from just the first 3 or 4 cells

it's more reliant on speed than anything

[mellow crystal]

She has everything that makes a character OP and more

[fiery tree]

I Should Build the Man a Statue, hands down

[jaunty furnace]

no

[wintry crag]

how come

[jaunty furnace]

you may get fucked by the items they get

so you may want to immediately leave if they get something nasty

just grab stuff during the first couple breaks

[rough tide]

Would I get the alloyed collective dlc for free because I bought the bundle with the other dlcs?

[pallid mirage]

I really have found my people

That's my 2nd favorite

[jaunty furnace]

i dont think so

[rough tide]

Damn, I’m still getting it first day

[fiery tree]

Good bass line and god tier riff

[livid gull]

if i take a gold portal in the false son path do i go back to the normal path or stay on false son path

[jaunty furnace]

if you are still in stages where green portals are available then a green portal will spawn when you kill auri

[indigo socket]

How do Fire rate upgrades interact with Chefs’ cleavers?

[half dune]

stone flux pauldrons, bison steaks, infusions and movement speed items benefit false son the most imo. Add 4 penny rolls and a few repulsion armour plates early game if you find a longstanding solitude, and it will turn you into a tank and out level enemies early on.

[fierce bluff]

Does anyone know if AC will feature any balance changes?

[queen ether]

What's this thing? I can interact with it but it does that rejected sound

[fierce bluff]

Cleansing pool

https://riskofrain2.wiki.gg/wiki/Cleansing_Pool

[queen ether]

Ty

[primal vector]

Like items and skills buffs and debuffs?

[lone compass]

not sure but most probable it wont change any existing content, at most bug fixes

[fierce bluff]

Yeah buffs and nerfs

[primal vector]

I dont expect changes to existing content beyond bug fixing and drone AI update

[olive sapphire]

do y'all have any tips on getting chef's secondary skills?

[hybrid wind]

20 stacks of burn to final boss: get backup mags and it’s not really a problem

hit 5 airborns: use the artefact of swarms and kin and restart until you get wisps

10 oiled bisons: restart until you get Shattered Abodes stage 1, bisons spawn there

that’s how i’ve done all of them

[olive sapphire]

alr ty

[marsh gust]

risk of rain 2

[hybrid wind]

alt secondary and special are really cool, so gl getting them

[olive sapphire]

i alr got the secondary but these bisons are not spawning anytime

[vivid talon]

anyone else having issues with input delay or lag with private multiplayer?

[lavish jacinth]

ror2's multiplayer is peer2peer, so this is pretty common if you're playing with people far away from you or if you have bad internet

obligatory for any multiplayer issue, turn off crossplay if you're on steam

[vivid talon]

It's just started the last two times I've played. Never had an issue before

[lone compass]

were you hosting

[lavish jacinth]

I've heard of that happening for some people but I don't know if there's any specific fix, it may just go away after a while

[vivid talon]

No

[indigo socket]

[lavish jacinth]

faster recharge and throwing animation iirc

[indigo socket]

Do it return faster?

Or is that what faster recharge means

[lavish jacinth]

yeah

[indigo socket]

Oh damn

Also didn’t know the game had a command table

[lone compass]

doesnt, modded

[lavish jacinth]

I'm using a mod

[indigo socket]

Ty

[lone compass]

what mod do you use for hitboxes btw

[indigo socket]

Right
Thanks again

[lavish jacinth]

there's a command console in the game but you can't do much with it

[lavish jacinth]

hitboxviewer

[lone compass]

thank you thank you

[valid kiln]

is there a counter measure for the game spawning the teleporter boss inside of a wall on a very good run?

[scarlet dagger]

Aoe like will o wisp, gas, ect

Don't quote me tho

[valid kiln]

i had like no aoe, i had to use bandit's shift ability because it does a very small amount of aoe damage when you exit the invisibility
i had really good items tho so it was over quick

[lone compass]

did this happen

[valid kiln]

yes

mountain shrined on 2nd stage and 4 beetle queens spawned, 2 of them inside of the wall

not slightly, fully in the wall

[lone compass]

that might be a softlock

[fossil ice]

is there a setting to turn off the void corruption popup?

like the one that shows you which item got turned into the void item

its getting kind of annoying

[lament steppe]

is anyone having problems trying to play multiplayer?

some friend and i trying to play but the game kick everyone out the party before character selection

[fossil ice]

create the game lobby first then invite them all to your lobby

[lavish jacinth]

if you're on steam, make sure everyone has crossplay turned off, and disable any VPNs or anything like that. Also if you have any mods that aren't clientside, either disable them or share them so everyone in the group is running the same ones

[lavish jacinth]

no

[lament steppe]

didn't work

idk why but when i invite my friends either inside character selection or before they got kick out

[lament steppe]

crossplay is turn off by defaut and no one of us have mods or vpn

any idea what could be happening?

[signal valve]

I'm having this same issue right now lol

[lament steppe]

really? maybe its the server then

[signal valve]

Possibly? neither of us could host the other in game, it would hang on the pre character lobby then boot us out

[sand sparrow]

how to activate cheats through the dev console?? i wanna do a run where time increases 10x as fast

[lament steppe]

literally same

[lavish jacinth]

you need the debugtoolkit mod, I don't think it has a command to increase difficulty scaling though. But you could ask #ror2-modding if there's a mod that'll do that

[fading cypress]

whats the inputs for merc's exposed tech?

two m1, focused assault, 3rd m1?

[lavish jacinth]

the third m1 has to happen slightly before the dash

[fading cypress]

ah i see

[lavish jacinth]

they should be almost simultaneous but the m1 has to happen first

[fading cypress]

ok ty

i thought that was the case but i saw a video and got confused

[lavish jacinth]

it also helps if you do it close to an enemy, there'll be a bit of hitpause as soon as the sword hitbox comes out and that'll give you more time to input the dash or m2

[zinc holly]

How do I get out of simulacrum? I kmow it's infinite but I also know you can escape it

[lone compass]

you can't

void fiend did it in lore but that's not a thing in game

[zinc holly]

I see

[coral scarab]

Grants 4% increase to ALL stats for each buff, up to a maximum of 4 (+4 per stack).

I read this for the nectar and i dont understa the part after all stat wtf is each buff?

And another question for rejuvenisation Jack they tell 100%heal but what is heal fungous is heal?medkit is heal too or only passive heal u hot without item?

[jaunty furnace]

each (well, most) buff you have above your healthbar

[coral scarab]

Ok ty

It s a good red one so

[fresh tartan]

Can you give the lemurian eggs lunar items?

[glacial knoll]

No.

[fresh tartan]

Thank god i didnt pick up egocentrism then

[south python]

what does having 2 benefit me more than having one

and how if it does

[glacial knoll]

Less cooldown to activate it again

Not worth having more than 1 and many would scrap

[lavish jacinth]

Having even one stealthkit barely benefits you

[primal vector]

I really hope they fix its order of activation

[lavish jacinth]

I just want them to revert it to the old functionality

Chance to cloak when hit for 3s per stack

It was actually useful and had synergy with out-of-danger items

[glacial knoll]

50% health threshold one day

[lavish jacinth]

I like the old version better but I'd settle for that

[glacial knoll]

Idk about chance on hit scaling but it honestly just sounds like way better

Gloop falling from mediocrity to complete worthlessness over the years

[lavish jacinth]

At the very least they could make stacks increase the cloak duration again, reducing the cooldown is completely worthless

[glacial knoll]

it had no cooldown huh

[lavish jacinth]

I mean on the current version

[primal vector]

Yeah, Glopp as well has taken huge hits

[lavish jacinth]

I doubt they'll change it, but maybe with Ghor back on the team they'll feel a little more confident about tweaking base game stuff

[primal vector]

I am fine with them just not activating after consuming elixir and transmitter, and that is a GB change

[lavish jacinth]

Well, transmitter is a GB thing
