I find smiling friends compilations to be a simple fix for this issue

Overlay over your screen

Easy win

[primal prism]

ok i agree with this, viend is the most boring character

[mystic sequoia]

aight, didnt know if virtual orb wouldnt spawn again

[trim shell]

i think seekers is way too easy and alloyed is way too hard unless you loop

which is crazy because they FOUND the balance in the first dlc and then forgot it somehow

[stark shoal]

[gentle moss]

ive had virtual orbs spawn, ||killing awu opens a portal, also allegedly theres a portal at the end of Prime Meridian||

commando is the GOAT

'guy of all time'

[stark shoal]

Gilded Elites exist

[visual anchor]

Disagree I love how challenging the dlc3 is, I hope they don't nerf the bosses

[trim shell]

he has a linear gameplay loop, and on top of that you cant take certain item types or else youll throw yourself off their incredibly terrible balance

[lavish jacinth]

just checked this btw and it seems totally normal

which enemy was it? some enemies just have really high base damage stats for some reason

[trim shell]

i hope they dont either the boss is amazing

[stark shoal]

Could be a console issue as this was a thing exclusive to the old console version in the past

[mystic sequoia]

felt that exact way on launch day of seekers

[gentle moss]

im gonna go for a run whos skin should i unlock

[lavish jacinth]

maybe? but they also rebuilt the console versions so that it wouldn't happen anymore

[gentle moss]

i have bandits and mercs

[mystic sequoia]

take some time to learn the maps/secrets along with using the updated game mechanics and you can win extremely easily

[visual anchor]

Mult-t

[primal prism]

alloyed too hard? HUH

[trim shell]

me and my buddy kept getting a disconnect bug tho so its impossible to train to get gud

[stark shoal]

I still sense funkiness especially with multiplayer

[trim shell]

i dont wanna run solo's and we kept getting usernotconnected in multiplayer

[stark shoal]

Multiplayer really sucks right now on Console at least

[gentle moss]

if youre having trouble with alloyed you should consider looping

[visual anchor]

It's harder to not loop which in return feeds my ego, don't you get it

[trim shell]

we dont have enough time, we have a solid 40~ minutes until whoever isnt host gets booted from this disconnect bug that kept happening

[stark shoal]

W multiplayer❤️‍🩹

[arctic sequoia]

is there an updated character tier list? trying to decide which unlocks to get first, they all seem pretty hard lol

[gentle moss]

drifter s++

[arctic sequoia]

i think false son is really cool but getting the summon to kill the boss seems super rough

[primal prism]

use artifacts if u just want the unlock makes things alot easier

[stark shoal]

I can put my friends in a sack tier

[gentle moss]

can beat childeren to death tier (no further context needed)

[stark shoal]

hate those children they all deserve to die

[visual anchor]

Drag your sack across mithrix no context needed

[stark shoal]

Can we have the artifact of Erasure to completely remove an enemy

PLEASE

Those children deserve nothing

[gusty jasper]

operator is in the "fix the recoil and they will be S tier" tier, at least for me that recoil is brutal

[visual anchor]

I never even noticed the recoil

[primal prism]

me neither tbh

[visual anchor]

Id give operator A tier personally, at least for base alts

[gusty jasper]

its a pretty noticable bounce for me, I would love a reduction, besides that they are probably one of my new favorite survivors

[primal prism]

Id give both new characters A tier but i havent played a bunch of drifter so he might change

[visual anchor]

Definitely one of my favorites so far

Haven't even played drifter yet

But I've played rorr so I have an idea

[gentle moss]

can we talk about ||how operator is literally just pilot, like cannonically||

[visual anchor]

If pilot was not garbage yeah

I hated pilot in rorr

[teal fern]

is that implied? i couldnt tell based on the logs

[primal prism]

ok operator alt utility is poop ass

[gentle moss]

going back to this bro

[primal prism]

hey also question, so is there 3 ways, i know if i click the thing on stage 3 and go through virtual portal it takes me there eventually and then also if i kill AWU before tp i get virtual portal, any other way, is there another way to go straight from a stage 4 to vault without sirens calls or the one with the sentry keys

[teal fern]

i believe you can find the node on repurposed crator

dont know about other stage 4s tho

[primal prism]

havent even been on that map so sick, i always just click it stage 3 but lowkey i hate conduit canyon

[gentle moss]

||you can get there through the prime meridian ive heard||

[primal prism]

oh damn

[teal fern]

REALLY?

[gentle moss]

i have not tested this personally

another recommendation for beating AC: pick up every AP round you can get your hands on, goated item

[jaunty furnace]

diversify your damage

[gentle moss]

is true but also, the bosses are what people struggle with

[visual anchor]

Underrated tip: get movement speed bc that floor attack is bonkers

[primal prism]

if u have 20x AP round u will get less dmg against a boss rather than 5x AP round 5x watches 5x focus crystal

dmg is multiplicative in this game

but yeah generally AP rounds are goated

[gentle moss]

genie advice : play loader because she's generally unkillable

[jaunty furnace]

not underrated

movement is a core part of any build

[visual anchor]

Nobody gives my goat hoof any love it seems

[primal prism]

hey is going to kill the final boss of DLC possible for eclipse runs? as in a replacement for mithrix

[visual anchor]

[primal prism]

no goat hoof is literally one of the best whites in the game

movement speed is a necessity in most builds

[jaunty furnace]

literally who doesnt

[gentle moss]

im a mocha enjoyer now, actually. if i have a choice between the two

[jaunty furnace]

i think youre making up people

[gentle moss]

this guy is literally been baiting the entire time

[visual anchor]

Ok

[visual anchor]

Who is angry sir

[gusty jasper]

ur mum

gottem

[visual anchor]

You got me

[gentle moss]

roasted

[lavish jacinth]

I love goat hoof but the game has decided that the only speed items I'm allowed to have are elusive antlers and faraday spur

I think I've seen one single goat hoof in my last 3 or 4 runs lmao

[visual anchor]

I never see them

I actually saw a temp goat hoof printer recently and realized I never see hoof

Actually insane

[jaunty furnace]

i had a hoof printer on my first or second ac run

and temp hoof dispenser on my third

[sand tendon]

best items for drifter?

[visual anchor]

Can't vouch yet sadly, but that reminds me, does corrupted fuel cell give you 2 specials for temp items?

[gentle moss]

collectors compulsion from the dlc

and scrapping anything you dont want

[jaunty furnace]

dont see why not

youd still have to refill your junk though

[visual anchor]

Yea but that's not bad, although I always prefer fuel cells

Unless I'm engi lol

[primal prism]

whats the drone between strike drone and equipment drone in logbook

[lavish jacinth]

Emergency drone

[primal prism]

ah got it

[visual anchor]

Does the ball buddy item get drone parts? Assuming not, but it is mechanical so?

Forgot the name I think it's a red or yellow item

[lavish jacinth]

if it doesn't, then it should

[loud lynx]

WHAT THE HECK ||AM I SUPOSTED TO DO WHEN THE SOLUS WING GOES ALL RED AND THE ROOM STARTS RADIATING||

[gentle moss]

first of all, calm down

[lavish jacinth]

break the heat vents around the room, they create cold zones where it's safe to stand

[visual anchor]

Dude that's what I'm saying beo

[primal prism]

they should have kept the naming convention of SOT_

[loud lynx]

this is literaly the best boss fight ever

[gentle moss]

dont break the heat vents! break the hydrants keeping her cool, let her overheat

[graceful dust]

Does it just persist even after you break it

[visual anchor]

Yeah I like it better than false son, like a lot more

[lavish jacinth]

yeah, breaking it is what creates the safe zone

[graceful dust]

The heat death of the universe I mean

[lavish jacinth]

oh

I don't think so

[graceful dust]

Like I heard there's two methods one is to destroy the thingo that causes the overheat itself or destroy something else to create the safe zone

Maybe I am wrong though

[lavish jacinth]

I swear I had one run where the heat thing stopped but I have no idea what I did for that to happen lol

but solus wing also takes damage from the fire so the last phase goes pretty fast

[gusty jasper]

so how does one reject the offering, do I have to kill the robot before it boots me out

[graceful dust]

Yeah

[gusty jasper]

I want the acrid skin

bummer, so loop a few times then do it from the sounds of it

[gentle moss]

are you talking about ||spex, or solus heart?||

[gusty jasper]

the one you give the sphere to

idk its name

[lavish jacinth]

you don't kill that one, you give it the brain thing and then go through the portal

[loud lynx]

so what would i do from here

[lavish jacinth]

break these things

[loud lynx]

k

[gentle moss]

im gonna say it again, dont break those, break the ones shooting her with water

she'll overheat and die really fast

[visual anchor]

Is that a cheese or literally the objective?

[lavish jacinth]

wait yeah you're right, there are certain ones that shoot a beam at the boss or something right?
man, I like that fight but that attack is communicated horribly lol

[gusty jasper]

I just tanked it by spamming m1 with acrid

and a side of tonic

[gentle moss]

it seems pretty obvious to me idk. the things shooting her with water are cooling her down, breaking them gives you a bubble to be safe in anywya

[gusty jasper]

I LOVE ALCHOLISM

[gentle moss]

crackrid

[lavish jacinth]

idk, nothing else in the game really works like that, and there's a lot of shit going on so it's kinda hard to tell what's doing what

[gentle moss]

you're telling me youve never died to a grandparent hitting you with the unmatched power of the sun

[lavish jacinth]

well yeah, but in that case you just get to cover lol

[gentle moss]

i'll give you that theres alot going on

[lavish jacinth]

there isn't another thing that you have to break to protect yourself from the grandparent

[gentle moss]

i play melee characters usually so i'm just on the ground floor where the hydrants are

[lavish jacinth]

I lost my first couple of attempts because I thought you were just supposed to break all of the heat vents, I did notice the towers shooting the boss but didn't realize what they were actually doing when I broke them

[gentle moss]

mul't skin unlocked btw

can you guys believe that rex's skin is the rarest achievement

[lavish jacinth]

unfathomable

I got it for commando, time to grind the rest lol

[gentle moss]

this is because no one wants to play rex

[gusty jasper]

justice for my precious plant boy

[gentle moss]

i played nothing but rex when he came out i thought he was so cool

[gusty jasper]

hes pretty fun ngl

[gentle moss]

do ppl want to see rex rn

[gusty jasper]

once you get past his health reqiurement stuff it gets a lot better

shore why not

[gentle moss]

weed eater

[primal prism]

alt REX M2 is a lot better than his health sacrificing one

[gusty jasper]

they dun did stole his rendering wtf give it back

[primal prism]

holy shit thatskin is atrocious

[gentle moss]

uhm be nice?

[primal prism]

sorry rex

[gentle moss]

its -the- hardest skin to get rn

[gusty jasper]

who stole his textures thats whats really mean

[primal prism]

are all the skins like that?

[gentle moss]

nah he smoked the weed that makes you data

[graceful dust]

Woah that's a really fucking cool skin

I should get that

[gentle moss]

no*

about half

[gusty jasper]

he smoked that derealization cyberpunk pack

[primal prism]

thats half too many

[gentle moss]

the other one i have is bandit

[primal prism]

they massacred my boy

my first main

[gentle moss]

if their skin says accept and decompile, it probably looks similar to this. if it says purge: its probably alloy vulture related

[primal prism]

ahhhh i see

[gentle moss]

i have merc and mul-t for that

[lavish jacinth]

the skins being so similar is kinda disappointing ngl

[primal prism]

i have only played operator and drifter since dlc

[gentle moss]

nah its awesome everyone got a skin

[quasi light]

What do all the unlockable abilitys do for operator

[primal prism]

alt utility is a shield that he can send forward for dmg and send him back a little bit, alt right click is kinda like engineer harpoons but sends the drones at the enemies

idk alt special

[gentle moss]

ive been told alt special is 'poop ass'

[primal prism]

thats dissapointing i think the other two alternate are also pretty shit

[quasi light]

Poop ass 🙏😭

[primal prism]

well the alt m2 is decent early game

[quasi light]

Bro drifters alternative ability instead of temp items is so overpowered

[primal prism]

i just unlocked that one i havent used it

what does it do

ima probably use it anyways cuz i dont care for temp items

[gentle moss]

tinker is pretty powerful yeah

[quasi light]

He can re role shops printers ect... He can put ANY debuf in the game on a group of enemies and can scrap items on the floor and gets scrap of that rarity and gets that item as a temp afther

[gentle moss]

SHE*

[primal prism]

WHAT THE FUCK that shit is OP

[quasi light]

It includes debufs only enemies can inflict

[primal prism]

my goodness drifter is nuts, i already thought he was really good

[quasi light]

Tiny person with orange jacket and big sack*

[quasi light]

And the boxes are soooo guuuud

[primal prism]

i also just unlocked junk cube i dont have alt utility yet, i havent used the cube yet

[sharp jewel]

so I fought the final boss for alloy collective and accidentally continued my run, am I able to fight it again?

[primal prism]

i unlocked cube and tinker in the same run

[sharp jewel]

im like an hour and a half deep on this run

welp gg nvm

I literally died as soon as I sent that

[primal prism]

tragic

[gentle moss]

drifter is trans canonically respect my girl

[quasi light]

Cubes can be used like tennis balls you hit them back and forth and can be used for a lot of scrap if smashed on a enemie or on the ground it gives more back then you spent

[quasi light]

Bro what?

[quasi light]

Cubes bounce back if you hit a enemie

[primal prism]

yeah drifter sounds op

[quasi light]

It is bro trust

[gusty jasper]

holy shit drifter is a transformer? thats epic

[gentle moss]

drifter is so fun

yeah good for her good for her

[lavish jacinth]

I think they mistyped, drifter is actually canonically trains

[gusty jasper]

I wonder if she knows optimus

[gentle moss]

drifter train real

[gusty jasper]

man that picture is so cool i wish cars were real

[gusty jasper]

erm its right behind me isn't it

[gentle moss]

is anyone here old enough to remember the car in the game files of early access

[gusty jasper]

me

[lavish jacinth]

which one? there were like 3

[gentle moss]

thank god

i thought i fever dreamed it

[lavish jacinth]

long live potmobile

[gentle moss]

also can we talk about drifters m2 being awesome risk of rain references

[steady stone]

Are they gone now??

[gentle moss]

like thqwib

[lavish jacinth]

I still haven't played drifter at all lol

[steady stone]

The 3 pot mobiles were still here as of sots, along with a plethora of other things

[gentle moss]

drifter's m2 is basically peach from super smash brothers

you get random stuff

thqwib from ror and rorr is the funniest thing ever

[lavish jacinth]

so what you're telling me is that both characters have an m2 that's just this

[gentle moss]

yeah

[lavish jacinth]

99% of operator gameplay be like

[gentle moss]

i said 'random bullshit go' atleast like 3 times when brainstalks proc

its 130 am

[lavish jacinth]

I feel like operator has potential to be a really technical survivor with a high skill ceiling, but in practice his gameplay really does boil down to mashing m2 and hoping for the best lol

[gusty jasper]

thats the case for a lot of the survivors ngl, they have one ability that spamming is tthe best play

[lavish jacinth]

actually I guess that's not true, he mashes all the buttons and hopes for the best

[gentle moss]

i'll play operator for the first time tomorrow

for now i sleep

[coarse solstice]

What does the Debuff applied to ||Solus Wing|| when you kill one of its tumor things do?; is it just a flat damage increase?

[cinder pasture]

can someone help me play operator. i dont understand how his drone switching works

[primal prism]

its like a queue

once u use ur M2 it swaps to the next one

[cinder pasture]

how do i get a third?

[primal prism]

just buy drones

[coarse solstice]

Bottom one is current equiped, one above it is next in line. Your secondary, util, and special all switch between the next drone

[jaunty furnace]

you dont change that

its just showing you which drone is next

for his non-primary abilities

[cinder pasture]

is having a mix of drones better than just one type?

or is that play style?

[primal prism]

lowkey as operator i just buy every drone

cuz u get more charges of ur M2 per drone u buy

[jaunty furnace]

just buy all of them

no reason to skip one

unless you mean in the loadout

in which case i think thats preference

[solemn wind]

Is it UES or UE5?

[cinder pasture]

honestly. i didnt think i would like this character when i heard about it. they did this kit well.

are any alt moves worth going for?

[jaunty furnace]

ah yes, the Unreal Engine 5 "Safe Travels"

[solemn wind]

I mean in my experience it crashes and burns enough

[cinder pasture]

wait are all drones out like normal or how does that work do they still act like normal drones

[lavish jacinth]

yeah, they behave like normal when operator isn't holding them

[cinder pasture]

so this is just a image so i know what drone is next but is not actually there

[lavish jacinth]

I think so, they don't seem to do anything while held until you use an ability

[jaunty furnace]

...what?

that healing drone is the one that will be used by your m2/shift/special, if thats what you are asking

[cinder pasture]

is it an image that hologram my next drone or is it actually there and not just floating around me and still doing something

[lavish jacinth]

the drone is physically there yes

[jaunty furnace]

its there

[cinder pasture]

is your next drone in que just not doing anything?

[jaunty furnace]

its doing normal drone things

when its its turn, itll immediately come to you

and stop attacking

[lavish jacinth]

the one you're currently holding will not do anything until you use a skill
but all of the others will function normally

[sharp jewel]

the queue is purely a visual thing to show what drone your m2 / r will use next, the drones will act as normal drones no matter what

[left forge]

Sauteed worms?

[lavish jacinth]

sauteed worms.

[oak roost]

Can drifter pick up mithrix

[cinder pasture]

if i am in multiplayer and someone bags a enemy with drifter then the player disconnects what happens to the enemy?

[haughty gate]

Anyone know what the ||"Of One Mind" Aspect of the collective|| fully does?

[lavish jacinth]

...that's a really good question actually

[cinder pasture]

world record mithrix kill? (%speed)

[primal prism]

u cant bag mithrix i dont think

unless u can

and im mistaken

[cinder pasture]

what is this and how did i screw my self over in the future?

[lavish jacinth]

nah it's fine, it ||opens a portal leading to the new boss||

(after charging the teleporter)

[cinder pasture]

does it relate to getting drifter?

[lavish jacinth]

yes

[haughty gate]

Update, Seemingly nothing? Even the item description after pickup is just "???"
If can confirm it does anything please let me know

[lavish jacinth]

I assume it at least gives you a bubble shield like the elites have

I'm honestly not totally sure how they work other than that lol

[cinder pasture]

ive gotten a focus crystal does each drone get one? if so does intersection matter?

[lavish jacinth]

drones don't get items

although if you use your m2, then the specific drone you're holding can proc your items and benefit from their effects

[fallow harbor]

Is the drone AI update still present if someone with doesnt have the dlc or chooses to play with it disabled, or will the drones revert to their pre-patch state?

[lavish jacinth]

the AI update is a basegame thing, you don't need the dlc

[fallow harbor]

Makes sense. Good change 🙂

[haughty gate]

Seemingly not, unless it can only be seen from the outside.
No buffs/debuffs, no bullet effects I can notice. Not usable like the gilded one.
No effect on health like shields or anything
Not even anything affecting my drones as far as I can tell.
Visual change to character, but nothing mechanically I can find.

[fallow harbor]

Another question: Does anyone know if if Ego can take temp items? If it can and does take a temp item, the resulting Ego would still be permanent yes?

I played a game with ego earlier and never noticed it take a temp item, and I am wondering if that was just a coincidence or if it can actually just not take temp items.

[lavish jacinth]

good question, I'd assume not but it'd be a good thing to test

[fallow harbor]

I play with ego a lot, so I'm sure I'll know the answer at some point 🙂

[haughty gate]

I found what it is!
||It's reduced cooldowns! (Not very much though. 5s to 4s on my secondary||

[cinder pasture]

how do i kill alloy hunter. it just disables all my items and kills me. is this a dps check?

[lavish jacinth]

...it disables items?

ngl I've fought it a few times and never had that happen, the fight was always pretty easy when I did it lol

[cinder pasture]

it shoots 6 beams that close in on you and your item bar gets locked and in the bottom left there is the circle with a line through it with something that i think represents an item

idk just go spawn it in and wait long enough

admin over ride or cmd swarm?

[jaunty furnace]

dont get hit

[lavish jacinth]

I guess just get behind cover when the beam is charging up

[lavish jacinth]

the operator secondaries?
To me they both seemed decent, default felt a little stronger but alt was a lot more consistent and straightforward

[haughty gate]

Hey can someone do a quick check in the character select and let me know if MUL-T's new skin says to accept or deny?

[lavish jacinth]

I don't think anybody has figured out meta loadouts for the new characters lol

[cinder pasture]

im using operator and i was flying using the ultil i was pretty fast i thuoght it was just hitscan

[lavish jacinth]

you can check in-game, it's in the logbook under the challenges section

[cinder pasture]

100x drone parts

[haughty gate]

Oh dang you're absolutely right!
Thank you so much

[jaunty furnace]

a lot more consistent
the targetting jank seems to disagree

[lavish jacinth]

okay well apart from that lol

but the drones all do the same thing

[cerulean bear]

can you go to conduit canyon multiple times in a run? i need to get operator's challenge done

[haughty gate]

I have not been able to in my attempts.

[loud lynx]

ive given up and folded to easy how do i

||reject the aloy offering||

[lavish jacinth]

just finish off ||solus heart|| after beating it

[loud lynx]

im looking at ||SPEX|| rn can i just go back through the portal

also did i miss drifter from this

[lavish jacinth]

||what you need to do is find the chef in a room to the far left of spex, and combine the encrypted cerebellum with a sentry key, prison matrix, or rusted/encrusted key. Then give it to spex to spawn a portal to the final boss||

[cinder pasture]

how does the corrupted yellow item interact with operator?

[lavish jacinth]

||she's in the same area as solus wing, so yeah, probably. I don't think you can get back to that area||

[lavish jacinth]

zoea? it doesn't do anything special

void allies aren't drones

[loud lynx]

THERES ANOTHET ONEEEE

[lavish jacinth]

although they could potentially kill your drones with the black hole

[summer stone]

Yeah you’re not done

[cinder pasture]

yeah that makes sense

[loud lynx]

should i restart because ive been trying on monsoon and i just went to easy with command

i think i will

[lavish jacinth]

up to you

[loud lynx]

was drifter in the first phases room?

[wintry crag]

can you get the red colored node on the sots stage 3 ?

[summer stone]

You could try your hand at the final boss

[lavish jacinth]

yea, after you kill ||solus wing|| there are a few more rooms that open up in that area

just explore a bit

[daring cloak]

From what ive heard no

[loud lynx]

dang it i went to fast

[polar kestrel]

What do collective elites even do

[lavish jacinth]

they have a bubble shield that blocks projectiles, and apparently they have slightly shorter cooldowns

[polar kestrel]

I see

[lavish jacinth]

they might have an on-death effect too? There's a weird explosion that happens when they die but I feel like I've been hit and nothing ever happens, so maybe it's just visual

or I'm just completely blind, that's also possible

[daring cloak]

Apparently it ||disables items for a bit???||

But Im the least credible source for ac stuff there is since I cant even play it myself yet

[clear prism]

can you refight the boss after looping?

[cinder pasture]

anyone know what ||of one mind|| does

[lavish jacinth]

is that the aspect for the new elites?
#ror2-game-questions message

[cinder pasture]

i just got it (on my second run of dlc) and i dont have a bubble

[lavish jacinth]

it might be invisible while you're inside of it, see if ranged enemies are able to hit you from a distance

it's pretty big so they'll still hit if they're too close

...or maybe it just doesn't work on survivors, I haven't gotten it so idk lol

[cinder pasture]

yeah i think i see a sligthly blue line that (of a sphere) on the ground

its probably around twice the radius of focus crystal

[lavish jacinth]

that's probably it then

it basically works like engineer's shield afaik

[cinder pasture]

pretty op as a elite equipment even if it is 1/4K

[hollow field]

for the operator not so different achievement do you have to be airborne from ||the moment the solus control unit shows up or only from when the alloy hunter is up||

[slow lance]

||Im pretty sure it’s alloy hunter considering you start off grounded activating the teleporter but just to be safe just leave the ground ASAP and go from there||

[cinder pasture]

what do i do here? im stuck?

[lavish jacinth]

unfortunately there isn't much you can do to progress in your case
||Normally what you need to do is find the chef in a room to the far left of spex, and combine the encrypted cerebellum with a sentry key, prison matrix, or rusted/encrusted key. Then give it to spex to spawn a portal to the next area||

But there is some other useful stuff to find if you look around a bit

[cinder pasture]

i ended up going back through the main portal

ill deal with it another time i got drifter this run that is all i wanted

@lavish jacinth considering the healing from drones and shield gain does that make operator the third survivor bad transcendence

[robust trail]

Does the node always appear on stage 3? Can it not appear?

[cinder pasture]

ive only done a few runs and everything from youtube has told me that it is always on the third stage

[fossil mountain]

From my experience, it always spawn on stage 3

[robust trail]

alr thx!

[hollow field]

well uhhh whatever i did it worked so

this is my first proper god run since the dlc dropped lmao

gonna see if i can get the mastery too

[frosty blaze]

anybody know if you can activate nodes after looping?

[slim radish]

pretty sure you can go get back to the hidden realm

[frosty blaze]

I had a run last night where I was kicked out of the hidden realm and we looped four times and found nothing

[slim radish]

i’d assume it was like newt portals but ig not

[frosty blaze]

I'm wondering if destroying the AC might have locked me out of it, tbh I'm struggling with the boss on monsoon pretty hard and running it as engi solo rn and would ideally like to loop before taking it on

[slim radish]

apparently not

[glad locust]

So question why is my damage dealt with engineer at 100%, and the total damage is 10 quintillion but my most damage dealt is 15 quintillion. Where is the extra 5 quintillion damage coming from

[slim radish]

turrets don’t count towards damage

[frosty blaze]

can you loop and access it if you skip the first encounter?

[slim radish]

yes i did it loop 3

[frosty blaze]

okay

thats good to hear. I know engi is considered broken but I struggle so much with him

[glad locust]

I know the 10 quintillion is from the engineer alone without turrets. If it was including turrets it would be closer to 19 quintillion

[slim radish]

maybe it’s not including damage over health? like over killing enemies by doing 1000 damage but them only having 500 health

so you’ve only dealt 10q damage technically but you did more over that

[glad locust]

Thats not it either because when the stats refer to most damage dealt it means in a single hit so I am just confused on how its higher than total damage

Then again I dont know how much damage pushes the game into overflow so that might also be it

[lavish jacinth]

logbook stats have always been a little janky, but I think it gets extra weird when you start getting really huge numbers like that

[slim radish]

i’m more concerned how the hell you did 15 quintillion damage

on engi at that

[lavish jacinth]

anything's possible with shaped glass and proc chains

[slim radish]

with enough egocentricism

[lavish jacinth]

I'm actually not sure ego could get really high numbers like that

[slim radish]

watch me i got you

[lavish jacinth]

since it'll end up eating all of your multipliers

[half urchin]

Are there any broken item/survivor combos that could be fun. Im getting burnt out of ror2 recently and wanna find the nuclear combos.

[left forge]

is tc drone still trash or nah?

[lavish jacinth]

it can get really high dps, but only when there are actually living enemies for it to hit

[lavish jacinth]

yeah, it's actually pretty good now

[left forge]

nice

[slim radish]

with enough temporary items and red scrap i think drifter could go crazy

[lavish jacinth]

just a few off the top of my head

classic one would be infinite tonic, + 4x
there are probably lots of shenanigans you can do with now, especially with
remote caffienator/squid polyp builds aren't the strongest but they're really goofy
infinite bands with is pretty fun
for quad bleed is neat

There might be some combos with the new dlc items that haven't been found yet

[grave hull]

what is the item you need to get the new skin offering thing

[half urchin]

thank you

[lavish jacinth]

||the encrypted cerebrum that solus wing drops, combined with a sentry key, prison matrix, or rusted/encrusted key||

[grave hull]

||and am i meant to reject or accept i forgot for engineer||

[lavish jacinth]

||Iirc he rejects it, but you can check the in-game logbook under the challenges section||

[cinder pasture]

how does junk work on drifter?

[grave hull]

||the item is popping out after i try giving it and nothing happens||

[lavish jacinth]

Have you actually combined it? You need to give it to the chef in the room to the left

I assume you're at ||SPEX|| right now

[grave hull]

yes

this?

[cinder pasture]

wow drifter is OP. they do nerfs in this game?

[lavish jacinth]

Yeah

[clear whale]

Can anyone confirms ||the Wandering Chef is in Commencement||

[grave hull]

||do i go in the portal for rejecting?||

[lavish jacinth]

You go in the portal for both

[grave hull]

ok

[hollow ivy]

is there a red chest on repurposed crater?

[grave hull]

||do i destroy it or is there an actual reject button||

[lavish jacinth]

Nah, just kill it

[lavish jacinth]

Yeah

[grave hull]

ah thanks

[slim radish]

unfortunately they have but i don’t think they’ll nerf anything anytime soon

[grave hull]

didnt wanna risk losing the entire runs point

[slim radish]

risk the rain

[ancient hollow]

bump

[grave hull]

2 hours and i gotta go sleep i dont wanna risk this rain right now

[cinder pasture]

i would be fine with most nerfs i can think of around item rarity for temp items but still he is fun. i dont think they can ruin him

[hollow ivy]

ah cool, where?

[lavish jacinth]

It's not too hard to find, it's on the ground level up against one of the support strut things

[slim radish]

the edges of the map ones in like a dip in the wall the other is underneath some table looking things that’s the only 2 i know

[hollow ivy]

ty

[ancient hollow]

ty

[primal vector]

It has 3 spawn locations. One is under a m structure up in one of the ledges on the sides

[lavish jacinth]

Huh, I've been there like 4 times and it's been in the same spot every time lol

This is the first I've heard of there being other spots

[cinder pasture]

how does damaging enemies in the sack work? is it % damage or does it deal a total? does it chance for elite enemies? (sorry if i am asking hard questions or too many)

[tropic adder]

Pretty sure the damage you deal to other enemies while something is in the sack is based on their weight

[cinder pasture]

stone is heavy.

[slim radish]

pretty sure it’s flat damage but you only get 3 hits in and items do proc off it

[tropic adder]

When it comes to just the enemy inside the sack idk ive seen that heavy enemies take less damage but deal more damage in the sack

[cinder pasture]

if i have an item and i get a temp copy does it become a perm copy?

[tropic adder]

No

You get 1 perm copy and q temp copy in that case

[slim radish]

it just adds to the stack for an easier ui

[ashen sigil]

does anyone know yet what you cook with irradiant pearls?
yesterday i had literally i think all items in the game and it just wasnt telling me

[slim radish]

pretty sure you can mix with yellow scrap

[ashen sigil]

i dont think so, i had both and werent craftable

[cinder pasture]

if you sack a a parrent does it become a child? i sacked one and i threw it and it didnt a spawn back in? it did not die

[ashen sigil]

theres 3 crafting recipes that despite having all items and it being highlighted it didnt seem to have a craft: pearl, bandollier and irradiant pearl

[tropic adder]

No

[cinder pasture]

that could be a cool mod

[tropic adder]

I agree

[slim radish]

also it would be the other way around bc children are the oldest in the life cycle of the parent group

[cinder pasture]

what?

[tropic adder]

They have a reverse life cycle

[slim radish]

in lore the cycle goes egg - parent - grandparent - child

[cinder pasture]

ok

im just going to take it as is

[slim radish]

but no a parent doesn’t turn into a child in the sac

that’s what she said

[shy compass]

What's the recipe for cherf from the chef guy?

[cinder pasture]

for getting the drifter move for challenge of the mountain. do i hit the boss with the item or throw it?

[marble magnet]

Are there any references to the raindrop that fell to the sky in AC?

[slim radish]

molten or charged?

[icy jetty]

i assume you gotta throw it

[shy compass]

charged c:

[slim radish]

atg+unstable coil/charged capacitor

[shy compass]

thank you, I haven't been able to make that worm soup yet, needed that for it c:

[slim radish]

well if you need molten next time it’s atg+fire band

[shy compass]

Would there happen to be a list this early? Just curious, wanna see what diabolical builds can be made

[slim radish]

what all you need

[shy compass]

pardon?

[slim radish]

i have my own list but i don’t have everything

[shy compass]

Would it be okay if I could see what you've got so far?

[slim radish]

https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1kckQq5_yznr9NzUdvpx097fbe-JeNsD_lTiefRWtKzY/mobilepresent?slide=id.g3a66d63255f_0_1607

there’s the powerpoint

[shy compass]

Thank you c:

[slim radish]

i’ll probably have to send that like 5 more times

[cinder pasture]

how the hell are you meant to kill solus wing as drifter?

[slim radish]

jump on top of it and just start smacking it

destroy the cooling units once it goes critical and repeat

[cinder pasture]

i did. i had to run away since it hits you with sun light

[remote orchid]

Do you mean the overheat

[cinder pasture]

the sunlight symbol

[remote orchid]

Yes

[cinder pasture]

whatever that is. grandparrents do it too

[slim radish]

no that’s cooling units that do that

[cinder pasture]

what?

[remote orchid]

What's causing it is the heaters around the arena, you can the see aura slowly expand and they affect you with that debuff

[slim radish]

^^^

[remote orchid]

There's the heating and cooling units, if you destroy a heating unit it stops the debuff but the cooling units actually have an aura that cures the burn debuff but also shield the boss from burn damage, if you destroy all the cooling units which have like a white beam pointed at the boss it'll start taking more and more burn damage while you can sit in the cooling zones

When I did the boss on drifter though I just destroyed the heaters every time and went back to attacking the boss

[cinder pasture]

does it need to be final blow?

[remote orchid]

Yes

Use the new artifact

[cinder pasture]

whats it called?

[remote orchid]

Prestige, it's in ||new stage 3||

[slim radish]

what they said

[cinder pasture]

can it only be done in stage 3 or can you do it in the normal stage 5s?

[slim radish]

the normal stage 5

there’s the code

[remote orchid]

No the code's in that stage

[meager warren]

Whats the best loadout for operator? are any of his alts actually good

[rare ginkgo]

Does anyone know who “her” is referring to in the aspect of ice when it says “her biting embrace” I played returns just to see if it’s referring to an old boss from there but I don’t have a clue

[nocturne sierra]

Her from the logs, like the one providence and mithrix were talking about, we don’t know much about them

[last field]

theres a character that mithrix occasionally refers to as "Her" or "She" we dunno much

[rare ginkgo]

Thank you I hope they expand on the lore more in the future

[gleaming plinth]

can someone tell me what I need to do to progress after ||getting into the digital area after defeating the boss below the tube||

[icy jetty]

does anyone know where the newt altar spawns are in the new stage 3? i feel like im losing my mind

[gleaming plinth]

with the crypted thing

[icy jetty]

||go to the chef and give him the encrypted cerebrum and either a sentry key or prison matrix and then give that item to spex (the big floating orb) and he'll open a portal for you||

[gleaming plinth]

what do you mean ||the chef||

[icy jetty]

||theres chef with at a counter in the digital place, hes behind and to the left of spex||

[gleaming plinth]

they couldn't have hidden it better

[slim radish]

anyone know if ego interacts with temp items

[fleet thicket]

Hi quick question, ror2 does not recognize my controller after turning itself off from inactivity, any fix that someone knows so i don't lose my game progression?

[winter panther]

if i have 2 elixirs 1 real and 1 temp, which one will trigger first ?

[slim radish]

temp

[scarlet pebble]

for operators alt special challenge does it need to be 10 consecutive seconds or just 10 total seconds in the air?

[slim radish]

consecutive

[polar blaze]

Enable command artifact and pick up a black hole equipment find a elder lemurian and aim straight up that should do it

[scarlet pebble]

oooo thanks for the advice :3

[feral zinc]

Whats the best loadout for operator or is it to early to tell?

[subtle flame]

how do you summon alloy worship unit on the new stage 4

[whole spindle]

does pocket icbm affect drone parts?

cuz of the missiles part

[jaunty furnace]

nah

[whole spindle]

isee

[potent fractal]

Can I go back to ||SPEX|| in a next loop if I don't have what I need to proceed?

[tender lily]

yeah, just gotta kill a alloy worship unit to be granted access again

[little hollow]

what are the "electric items" that faulty conductor is referring to?

i assume its just uke and charged perf?

[grim prism]

are there recipe guides for the new meal cateogry items?

[meager nest]

Guys what are the best items in general for huntress I’m doing a commander artifact run with her rn

[amber raft]

Is the ||Node|| guaranteed to spawn on stage three or is it a chance? I didnt manage to find it

[glacial knoll]

Guaranteed, not on Treeborn

[vale ridge]

I wish miner was in this game

His concept was very cool with the heat system

But just curious have people made a.new survivor tier list yet curious as to how the new survivors change up the meta

[weary talon]

What’s the best load out for drifter

[agile crystal]

Devs said its possible there'll be 10 years of content for this game so maybe

[vale ridge]

I've had the most fun with 1112

But then again I've only played drifter a few times

[weary talon]

What does the alternate for the final ability do

[vale ridge]

It lets you reroll what items shops and printers have and items that are on the ground you can turn Into scrap

[knotty geyser]

Tinker turns a targeted item into a piece of that rarity scrap and a temp item, and you can change the item in printers and cauldrons up to two times each. also a projectile that debuffs

[vale ridge]

Oh it applys a debuff

I did not know that

What does the debuff do

[knotty geyser]

Havent tested it as much as other stuff, it seems to apply a preexisting debuff. I’ve gotten Slow, Ignite, and uhh i dont remember the other one

[vale ridge]

Also I don't know if I was just doing something wrong

But what does drifter do against single bosses

Cus like I struggled to do DMG on mythrix

[knotty geyser]

Junk Box, hit twice, repossess box, slam box into boss, explodes into 4-5 scrap, repeat immediately with the zero cooldown

[vale ridge]

People were telling me the junk box sucked

So I was using the projectiles

[knotty geyser]

You have a choice to make; do better with aerial enemies (whatever not junk box is called), or do better damage in general

[vale ridge]

How do you use the junk box

Just like Chuck it pick it up Chuck it and repeat till it blows up

[still crystal]

me and my friend are playing multiplayer and mid run he keeps getting disconnected its happened 3 times so far. what is happening?

its not internet problems

[knotty geyser]

Hit it with primary, it hits an enemy, does damage, flies back to drifter. Hit again, does the same thing. Then you can hit it again to send it forward to explode, or repossess it and slam it to make it explode AND get junk

no cooldown on junk box if you have 4 junk, and final slam gives like 5, so you can just loop this infinitely

[vale ridge]

Oh so you play ping pong with the enemy

[knotty geyser]

thats what i tend to do

also attack speed i believe makes it go faster and farther, so you just vaguely face a direction and the box will hit whatever opposes you there

also it feels like it homes a little, at least on flying enemies

[scenic tide]

What about multi shop, is it infinite?

[knotty geyser]

Unsure but almost certainly no

Probably two rerolls like the cauldrons and printers, or maybe none? 9 item rolls is kinda whacky tbh

[scenic tide]

Fr

[hardy trellis]

Saw a Steam Review mention a change to Multiplayer dying
What exactly changed?

[jaunty furnace]

you get to control a drone

so that you can pick up items and not get left behind

[hardy trellis]

Thats nice
Did they add a way to reconnect to a lobby after a disconnect yet?

[hazy musk]

hey guys, is there any way to leave the void locus without doing the deep void? i was trying to loop to prepare for AC boss and accidentally bought the lunar seer for void locus since i didnt recognise it and thought it was a new area

[knotty geyser]

validate files, it will likely say “2 missing, redownloading” or something along those lines. it will say this after every time you open the game.

uninstall and reinstall ror2 and the issue doesnt happen anymore

[livid wedge]

Nope

[waxen saddle]

can elder lemurian spawn stage 1?

[azure wedge]

no

thank the brothers they cant

[waxen saddle]

even with artefacts?

[azure wedge]

now im not sure

[knotty geyser]

dissonance maybe

[hazy musk]

voidling it is so DAMN

[azure wedge]

i just beat E7 with merc, what should i do now ?

[crisp timber]

e8 with merc

[azure wedge]

am i a pro yet ?
E8 perma dmg is kinda harsh, wisp makes it hard in the early game

[crisp timber]

yeah merc definitely feels e8 more than the average survivor

but it's good practice for target prioritization and movement

[azure wedge]

no, thats objectively and subjectively wrong

REX is crying in a corner because you forgot about them

[crisp timber]

hence why i said the average survivor

[gentle moss]

hello chat

[silent mauve]

is there a new lunar item??

[gentle moss]

yes

[azure wedge]

apparently i have lost my reading capability, im sorry

[crisp timber]

lol

[azure wedge]

lmao

[knotty geyser]

yes it is the evil dumbbell

[crisp timber]

rex is definitely biggest jump on e8. I think merc is second, and then the rest of the survivors honestly don't feel it too bad

[azure wedge]

merc is fine in E1 to 7 because you can just heal back up after ech fights with topaz and monster tooth necklage

[azure wedge]

you 1 shot people from afar with a proc chain or they hit you once, you instantly die, there is no 3rd scenario

im still on SoTV

is the 2 new DLC any fun ?

[crisp timber]

both are quite fun

[zealous shell]

do most of you play with crossplay on when you're on steam or off?

[azure wedge]

i though its seeker of the shitstorm ? did they patch it out ? i was living under a rock

[crisp timber]

it's been fixed for like half a year

[azure wedge]

also, i think they reworked momentum or something,
merc special have less reach to initiate the attack now
you can trimp and die because you bump on a pebble the wrong way

[azure wedge]

nice

wait

does taking dmg with topaz brooch give you the E8 debuff ?

[crisp timber]

yup

[azure wedge]

bruh, so all defence are useless in E8 except for void bear ?

[crisp timber]

i was under the impression this had always been the case

i lost like three runs to it when i was doing my merc climb

[azure wedge]

lol

[gentle moss]

god do i try to e8 again

i havent done it since before sots

[crisp timber]

always a good time to do an eclipse climb

[gentle moss]

nah i wanna unlock everything first

[torn horizon]

How are you supposed to beat the operator: not so different? Killed the second boss with the one shot gun while airborne and it didn't count

[livid wedge]

Did you touch the ground at all during the TP event?

[torn horizon]

Yes, I was waiting for the first one to transform into the second form
I am supposed to one shot the first one?

Because otherwise I can't see any way to be in the air for this long enough for it to transform and then kill it

[livid wedge]

As far as I can tell, you gotta stay airborne the whole time

[rare flame]

anyone have a nice list of which track plays where? for AC

[rare flame]

get more drones

[uneven lintel]

Anyone have a recipe for ukulele?

[zealous shell]

why is the performance so bad when a lot of enemies spawn? I can run graphically more intense game with no issues at all. meanwhile RoR2 only uses like 25% of my gpu and cpu?

[livid wedge]

There's a complete recipe list pinned in #ror2-discussion

[torn inlet]

been hunting down enviormetn logs and was wondering about Conduit Canyon, does it have a scanner spawn like normal stages or is the log hidden on the map?

[livid wedge]

I'm betting it's a fixed location like prime meridian or void locus but I have not tried to search for it

The only one I've found was solutional haunts and that was pure accident

[primal vector]

It is a random scanner

[teal fern]

Can someone send a screenshot for drifter's ||tinker|| ability?

like the description

[uneven lintel]

Thank you! Bummer there is no way to make one

[fervent swan]

is drifter ass or am i bad

[teal fern]

from what ive seen, the alt special is extremely powerful

[fervent swan]

oh thats the one i havent been using lol

[icy forum]

Get the milky chrysalis equipment and a few fuel cells. Activate the teleporter and get in the air before the first boss spawns and don’t touch the ground until both bosses are dead.

[tribal pagoda]

Are there any hidden playable characters besides heretic?

[radiant frigate]

is there a consistent way to catch onto additional drones when using ascent protocol as operator, when you have a bunch of movement speed items? i'm trying to pillar skip using ||faraday spur||, so i have a lot of movement speed and jump height, but when i hit shift again i hear the drone chirp yet they don't catch me. super frustrating, if i hear an audio cue i feel like i'm supposed to have successfully caught the drone

[quasi crystal]

I cant figure out the final meal item, white scrap + what

[lament steppe]

someone know how to unlock the new artifact?

[teal fern]

ty, it looks insame btw

[lament steppe]

it is

also better than the original imo

[teal fern]

how do i spoiler tag the link

there

[lament steppe]

ty

[primal vector]

Yes, and someone has skipped pilars by doing that already. May require some learning

[radiant frigate]

i got it!

move backwards while using secondary and they will always be in front of you

so ascent, jump, m2 while moving backwards, ascent, repeat

[teal fern]

yeah id say so, ||being able to basically have 2 clovers for printers AND the ability to scrap is insane, just maybe the cd is a bit rough||

[lament steppe]

he also gains stats ||while having scrap|| which makes for me|| the tinkers ability|| a must have

you can make fun strategies with that

[teal fern]

trueee, btw drifter is she lol

[lament steppe]

didn't know, sorry xd

[teal fern]

fair, characters are barely referred to at all in this game xd

[ripe bone]

is there a newt altar on reporpused crater?

[dry sage]

I'm wondering if I should get risk of rain 2, but I wanna know if it has moments to where I'm going "wtf is THAT?" does it do that?

[slim radish]

depends sometimes you’ll see a boss and say that other times you’ll nuke the whole stage

but it’s totally worth it

[dry sage]

As long as I have moments to where I just randomly explode or something stupid happens to me and I die

[slim radish]

oh boy do i have something to tell you

[radiant frigate]

part of the game is finding new items and seeing what they do. discovery and learning what items are good and what aren't is part of the fun imo. but it's also not for everyone

[slim radish]

you’ll love the void enemies

[dry sage]

What are those?

[radiant frigate]

an enemy type (mostly) introduced in the first dlc

[slim radish]

they’re part of one of the dlcs and they have a death effect that does exactly that

[radiant frigate]

that effect is extremely obvious though

[dry sage]

I may have cops the whole bundle frfr

[radiant frigate]

you can disable individual dlcs when starting a run, so getting all dlcs and playing different combos is something you can do

[teal fern]

Anyone know where the log is for solutional haunt?

[steady swallow]

how do u kill the ||big eye ball as drifter when you cant really even get close||

[teal fern]

||stand on top of it and whack away at its eyes||

that's what I did

[steady swallow]

👍

[livid viper]

How does crossplay work?

[sand mauve]

||so the node you find on stage 3, does it spawn on loop stage 3 if you do not activate it?|| (alloyed collective question)

[slim radish]

definitely should

[rough ledge]

FINALLY BEAT SOLUS WING!!! ||how do i get to the secret boss from here??||

[teal fern]

||before going into the solus wing portal, explore around the solutional haunt||

[tender kayak]

I’ve unlocked most of the characters which artifacts should I go for? I only have rebirth atm

[rough ledge]

||I found something to open the prison matrix… should i do that?||

[teal fern]

sure, just do everything before going into the portal

[rough ledge]

i know your supposed to combine ||the solus wing item and a key somewhere||

[teal fern]

that's after the portal

[rough ledge]

Oh okay

Is there anything else i need from the solutional haunt?

Oh no i didnt see ||drifter!!|| please tell me theres more than one prison matrix key

Oh thank god there is

[hidden siren]

Playing artififact of command with a friend, but I'm also trying to get the secondary for operator (4 different monsters in one shot). Any tips for items to take? And whether I should be grabbing drones?

[livid viper]

Crobar

[hidden siren]

Does operator suck or do I suck? (default abilities)

[rough ledge]

U suck it seems

All the default abilities are really good adn fit well, hes just a difficult character

Imo his alt abilities are BAD at least the ones ive gotten so far

[hidden siren]

I feel like I'm just picking up all the wrong items/ drones. Do you focus on items/ drones over the other? Any specific kidns

[lavish jacinth]

It doesn't

It's only between steam and epic games, but it's extremely glitchy and ideally shouldn't ever be used if you can help it

[granite hatch]

i feel like operator is a little weak either that or i just suck now for some reason

[arctic sequoia]

What’s the best way to get 40 lunar spikes on false son

[hidden siren]

that lunar item which doubles health and halves speed

[fossil summit]

Rolls of pennies and the lunar item that converts coins to xp with the previously mentioned item is pretty easy to get max levels on.

Or more spikes on mb. Brain not brain good.

[loud lynx]

Does the wiki or someone have the code for the new thing?

it lets you stack moution shrines

[vernal shadow]

Anyone have any tips for keeping the elder lemurian up in the air for 10 seconds

[visual anchor]

Only way I got close so far was I managed to get 2 alien heads and I had a bunch of transport drones

[vague junco]

anyone know what the bottom left item is

[visual anchor]

And just spam it

[vague junco]

cant find it anywhere

[vivid quail]

I know this game has been out forever but are there any plans to port this game (or RORR) to Mac?

[visual anchor]

No clue, but don't count on it lol

[idle perch]

Does anyone know what the two new lunar items are i wanna grab them but I don't wanna grab something shit

[vague junco]

there is only one new one

[jaunty furnace]

there was one in sots and one in ac

[vague junco]

newtonian weight

[idle perch]

What's it do??

[vague junco]

its funny

[jaunty furnace]

the sots one is busted and the ac one i havent tried but it doesnt sound too terrible

[idle perch]

Great answer

[jaunty furnace]

(longstanding soltitude and newtonian weight respectively)

[visual anchor]

Decreases ur stats but has a chance to transfer to enemies I think

[jaunty furnace]

isnt it guaranteed?

[visual anchor]

That's why I said I think I can't remember

[vague junco]

but does anyone know about this

[visual anchor]

If it's guaranteed I feel like it's just a stat buff if ur always hitting things

[jaunty furnace]

another meal probably

[lavish jacinth]

Sautéed worms, crafted with both perforators

[vernal shadow]

Food item

Combine charged and molten perforator

[quartz mango]

okay im saying this without any shred of doubt drifter might just be the most fun character in rick of rain second installment holyshit im having so much joy playing la creatura

im a dedicated drifterhead a profound driftercel a true drifterchad driftermaxxing

[visual anchor]

She's definitely one of my favs but I still think seeker or railgunner is my favorite dlc character

Also operator is really unique and fun to play

[quartz mango]

i like both seeker and rg but drifter highly strokes my primal urge to minmax everything i touch

operator is also a slamdunk i agree 100% both chars in this dlc are awesome

[visual anchor]

Much better than dlc2 already

[half canyon]

what is meant with denying and accepting the offering?

[visual anchor]

In terms of dlc quality I mean

[idle perch]

Are you able to do the new boss again because I accidentally killed him 😔

[quartz mango]

i think dlc2 ended up in a really really really solid spot but i have to agree
dlc2 is for me personally good but not spectacular all things considered
ac on the other hand blew me away on every front

[visual anchor]

Well for me it's the maps I can't stand

[quartz mango]

ac or sots?

[visual anchor]

I think it's stage 1 that I actually love but stage 5 is terrible

Nah sots

AC maps are great

[quartz mango]

yea fair
i like shattered abodes but the rest im mostly indifferent about
ac maps are lovely

[visual anchor]

Also what would be so cool is if gearbox added more variety to each map like how they made the dlc one a night variant

Prob a lot of work but it would be cool

[livid wedge]

They did add a night variant to one

Whichever is the third stage map got a night version

[pulsar horizon]

can i even loop from this place or is it just game end

[loud cedar]

what are the items after the void items? I havent found any of those yet lmao

[pulsar horizon]

items u get from combining other items together

[idle perch]

You can loop

[open marten]

Hi, for the new item combine recipes, is there a chart or cheat sheet for it?

[loud cedar]

Ooooooh with chef in that one place?

[pulsar horizon]

yerp

[pulsar horizon]

so just going back through the portal?

[loud cedar]

also you can loop you just have to go back through the portal behind you

[idle perch]

I did the boss and killed him by accident

And I still looped

[loud cedar]

yeeee

[pulsar horizon]

wonderful

ima just do the secret boss later

[kindred herald]

can you encounter spex multiple times a run? can you kill wing, loop, then come back to do heart and wing later

[elder relic]

if you get empathy cores you can combine it with the encrypted cerebellum to gift to that final thing

[weary talon]

What’s the new artifact do

[kindred herald]

mountain shrine every stage, mountain stages carry across stages

[visual anchor]

Woah that's cool

I haven't even got it yet, is the code on final stage?

[kindred herald]

i found the code in the ||loop version of the new stage 3||
idk if its elsewhere

[trim mural]

Where do I find the legendary chest in Conduit Canyon

[elder relic]

below a little bit ahead of the beginning

it takes one of those yellow keys

[trim mural]

Found it

Using artifact of command and forgot to get sale star first 😔

[dusky kayak]

So I tried to get the operator unlock to not touch the ground during the boss at the Conduit canyon using gesture and chysilis, but I didnt get it despite never touching the ground. Why did it not unlock

[rustic moon]

is there a way to get to the digital portal stage 4 multiple times per run?

[wooden topaz]

hey, is there a way to get rid of operator shaking the gold rings out of my screen every time he shoots? screen shake to 0 didnt help

[sterile swan]

Hey guys what are the new items between void items and lunar items in the log books

[rustic moon]

food item

[sterile swan]

Ah okay ty

I was worried it was gonna be elite equipment

And was sorta fingers crossed it was new void items tbh

[fallow harbor]

Anyone know when the damage pool for Networked Suffering empties? Is it every 3 seconds when the damage is dished out? Is it only emptied at the end of the stage? Something else? Never?

[granite kettle]

How unlock new skins?

[granite hatch]

finally beat monsoon with operator this was way harder than it had any right to be wtf

[dark apex]

Can i get back to the alloyed place if i pissed off Spex earlier in the run?

[granite hatch]

i dunno if its because im rusty or hes underpowered

[ornate yew]

is it normal that "DOC" drone can get Neutronium weight item?

[hidden siren]

Everytime I fight the new stage 5 boss, he does that move where everything goes red, then my health just drains and I die. Any help??

[dusky kayak]

Heat sinks around the map, gotta blow em up

[jaunty furnace]

destroy the heat vents or get into a cooling zone

[visual anchor]

I think it has something to do with the vents

Yeah apparently shooting the ones that emit water onto the boss should be shot

Someone was treating it as a taboo if you just shoot all of them

Lmao

[ornate yew]

yeah thats okay, it got to him cuz "CROSSHAIRS" killed the guy who held it

[sudden tundra]

What do you need to combine for the ||secret fight||

[feral zinc]

What’s the best loadout for operator?

[errant patio]

When picking up a rusty key, will the crate appear in the current stage, or only next stage ?

[sudden tundra]

I started shredding with attack speed and crit glasses

[kindred herald]

next stage

[feral zinc]

I meant abilities sorry

[sudden tundra]

Oh thats mb for misreading that as items lol, I just run the normal stuff (haven't gotted the other stuff yet)

[marble magnet]

Hey so I "defeated the conduit canyon boss without touching the ground". But it didn't count??

Am I not supposed to use a Tri corn?

[shy granite]

What do you give the exposed cerebellum to?

[lavish jacinth]

||encrypted cerebellum with sentry key, prison matrix, or rusted/encrusted key||

[lavish jacinth]

||SPEX||

[sudden tundra]

||Rusted key?||

[lavish jacinth]

yep

[sudden tundra]

Oohhhh okay ty

[shy granite]

||So that heart or whatever fight after u offer the cerebullum, I just smacked the guy when they offered immortality or whatever, what happens if you accept?||

is it just obliteration

[hidden siren]

Just killed the dlc final boss, but I'm a drone. Am I still able to unlock the new character>

[arctic sequoia]

Would it be viable to get the final boss kill with lunar spikes + summon in the same run?

[south egret]

do medical drones deal damage?

[lavish jacinth]

they can with drone parts and box of dynamite, but otherwise no

[south egret]

then how does my healing drone keep stealing my neutronium weight 😭

[lavish jacinth]

uhh dunno lol

[south egret]

does its command deal damage?

for operator?

[lavish jacinth]

nope

[shell dock]

can you go to the ac dlc path only once

like can you beat sw more than once

[lavish jacinth]

pretty sure you can't

[shell dock]

can you go into the dlc path after looping

[lavish jacinth]

yeah

[south egret]

oh wait, I just realized DOC is a unique drone

[south egret]

does DOC deal damage?

[lavish jacinth]

afaik no

I think his drones are identical to the normal versions apart from being immortal

although maybe using his special counts as the drone dealing damage? since you're throwing the drone at an enemy

I would think that it still counts as operators damage but idk

it's also entirely possible that the item is just buggy lol

[hasty kelp]

What is an encrypted portal

[last reef]

does the virtual portal appear after false son, if so then where?

nevermind i found it

[slim ocean]

what items are good for drifter?

[glacial knoll]

you give it to enemy, enemy hits drone, item given to the drone

drone is meant to give it back to you on healing idk how consistent that is

[south egret]

ohhh

[south egret]

it's not consistent at al

[solid schooner]

Could someone tell me how to ||accept the collectives offering?|| while trying to keep it as spoiler free as possible? Cause both times i went there it only let me use the orb in front of it that said "leave offering" or hit it

Wait

I just got it, it meant leave offering as in an item, not like leave the offering grounds

Im so stupid

[lavish jacinth]

there's another step to the process

||spex isn't the one that gives you the offering, you have to offer it the right thing and go from there||

[lavish jacinth]

leads to the new ||final boss||

[hasty kelp]

Ok

I entered it

[solid schooner]

Im going to mark this message, but ill try to figure it out on my own now that I understood what it really meant

[prisma sonnet]

Is there a list of the new items? I found like 3 max

[lavish jacinth]

The wiki has them, although the descriptions are still being worked on https://riskofrain2.wiki.gg/wiki/Alloyed_Collective (screenshot bc the actual page has some spoilers)

[left forge]

Do people reroll stage 1s for siphoned forest for the best interactable points or is it just me

[lavish jacinth]

nah, too lazy

[left forge]

Fair enough

[lavish jacinth]

would be nice if they evened them out though, kinda dumb that roost and plains are just worse for no reason

[left forge]

Ye I can just tough out the rerolling so I just do it

[lavish jacinth]

fwiw, verdant falls and shattered abodes are nearly as good

[worldly olive]

If it was pre sots then maybe but nowadays I don't care too much about the stage 1 I get due to halcyon shrines giving a good amount of items

There are still times where Plains ocassionally screws me but that area sucks in general sooooooo oh well

[cinder pasture]

has anyone used tinker and liked it? the alt moves on drifter doesnt seem too good

[brisk crypt]

Is Tricorning the Alloy Hunter how you get the Faulty Conductor, or is it some other boss?

[lavish jacinth]

yes

[worldly olive]

I've heard its very good but it seems a lot more Macro heavy than Salvage it seems

[brisk crypt]

Peak.

[lavish jacinth]

(it can also drop as a reward from the teleporter)

[cinder pasture]

how do i hold a elder lemurian in the air for 10 second?

[agile crystal]

Elite elder lemu and a bunch of back up mags and use the ability that boosts them in the air and just spam it

[worldly olive]

Primordial Cube and Breaching Fin can help

It also might be better to go to Reformed Altar since its the earliest stage they can spawn
Though if you accidentally kill one of the pre spawned ones it can take a bit for another to spawn

[junior glade]

is the node for drifter on every stage 3 or just alluvium

[lavish jacinth]

pretty sure it's every stage 3

[wheat sorrel]

if i didnt hit the digital portal when i activated it at stage 3 can i still get it after I loop?

[lavish jacinth]

yeah

you can also potentially get it on stage 4 but it'll skip conduit canyon

[wheat sorrel]

phew i thought i wasted 30 mins

[signal apex]

is there a guaranteed legendary item on repurposed crater?

[lavish jacinth]

yep

I think there are a few spots for it, I know one of them is on the ground level next to one of the supports for the platform above, but I'm not sure about the rest

[knotty geyser]

can also spawn in the tiny little “canyon” thing on one side of the map

[lavish jacinth]

I've been there 3 or 4 times and it's been in the same spot every time lol

[signal apex]

are there any clues like the glowing mushrooms? i cannot find it

[knotty geyser]

dont think so

[signal apex]

FOUND IT

it was in the canyon thanks

[lunar shale]

where is the solus wing env log and computational exchange env log help meeee 🙁

[visual anchor]

I only got the solutional haunt one so far

[pulsar halo]

Hi guys!
||How do I decrypt the key to give it to SPEX?||

[lavish jacinth]

||go to the wandering chef in the room on the left side, you need to combine the cerebellum with a sentry key, prison matrix or rusted/encrusted key||

[pulsar halo]

ty so much, I didn't even see the little guy ^^

[dawn portal]

Does anyone know the new legendary chest locations?

[frigid folio]

can someone remind me what does boss scrap do for drifter?

[brisk crypt]

Are any of the new zoned available in Eclipse?

[twin cedar]

I'm curious does the drone thing when you die in multiplayer work with the artifact of Devotion?

[rich jetty]

umm what am i suppose to do if sentry keys dont spawn?

all the altar mobs dropped their key into the void =/ and there doesn't seem to be anymore elite mobs that spawn them naturally

[nocturne sierra]

Is there a way to scrap a red item with command on?

[crisp moth]

How does the drone after death thing actaully work? I had friends who died who could not control drones after death. The button was there to do it but every drone was blacked out.

[high forum]

there are no printers with command

i think the only way to get rid of it would be to soup it

[sharp storm]

whats max level?

[nocturne sierra]

Right but is there like a soup not on the moon to take reds

[high forum]

don't think so

i don't think there's one in the False Son boss level

[nocturne sierra]

Wait there might be

I need to get rid of a unstable Tesla coil so I can use the bazaar and other shop

[hushed hornet]

what is the best loadout on operator so far

[outer sierra]

how do i get risk of rain to see my controller inputs

My controller turned off but now its not recodnzijng my inputs, I cant reset the run becuase I put a. Rebirth item

[livid wedge]

There are still cauldrons even with command

[celest field]

Are there new artifacts added In this dlc

[livid wedge]

Just one, prestige

|| Mountain shrines persist between stages and every stage has at least one mountain shrine||

[celest field]

Holy

[livid wedge]

Like this

[slim radish]

i had 17 stacked up earlier

[celest field]

Aww does op have a drone limit?

[livid wedge]

Once you have enough allies, the game seems to just not spawn anymore

[celest field]

So he doesn’t have a limit of three drones and one simply disappeared on me?

[livid wedge]

No, I think it only shows 3 at a time but it should cycle through all of them

[celest field]

Ahh

[weary talon]

What’s the best drifter load out in your guys opinion

[proven coyote]

purple screen of doom fixed yet?

in multiplayer lobbies where you can't load into character select

[dense quiver]

can anyone please help me get false son?

[foggy vessel]

heard that ||chef item crafter|| appears in other stages besides the ||virtual exchange||, is that true? / what stages does he appear on?

[frigid folio]

to get the achievments on survivors for rejecting, do you have to also win the run?

or does it count when you reject?

[lavish jacinth]

no, you get it as soon as you reject

[frigid folio]

alright ty

[brittle shuttle]

Everyone does so look out for a drone combiner

[lavish jacinth]

do you just need to know how to do it or are you looking for someone to play with? if so try #lfg-pc-ror2

[lavish jacinth]

actually drones are the only minion that ISN'T limited

[dense quiver]

someone to help me do it

[celest field]

A what now? Send what it looks like it sound sick

[lavish jacinth]

yea, you'll want the lfg channel then

[worldly knoll]

im going to lose my marbles, is anyone else just not getting repurposed crater

I've gone through like 60 stages and havent gotten it once

[lavish jacinth]

unlucky ig

can always try using lunar seers, if you've got coins to spend

[worldly knoll]

true

[frigid folio]

drone combiners combine drones of same type to create one stronger drone

idk how exactly it works but it does work with the operator's drones too

[celest field]

Where does the phrase “and his music was electric” come from? Ik it refers to a song but why that phrase?

[outer sierra]

Is there a list of the ||prentenders precipice|| newt altars yet

[cunning brook]

Y’all are you able to go back to the new bazaar after you leave or no?

I wanna craft and then come back after to fight the new boss

[austere dawn]

Is the red chest in ||repurposed crater|| always in the same spot or is it like sundered grove?

[knotty geyser]

like sundered grove
