ror2-game-questions

[austere dawn]

Tysm

[knotty geyser]

afaik there are two spots, under one of those weird metal support things on the outskirts of the center, and at the end of the little "canyon" thing

i believe it always spawns in the destroyed drop ship in one of the cliffs

like so

[outer sierra]

ahh ty

[knotty geyser]

yes you can craft and leave and then return

[foggy vessel]

how do u return

[knotty geyser]

compliment to chris christodoulou the composer for ror2 vanilla, sotv, sots (except one track)

[knotty geyser]

all encrypted portals after getting to the computational exchange will lead back to the exchange

[proven venture]

Thoughts on networked suffering?

[knotty geyser]

uhh which one is that again

[proven venture]

Red item, inflicts a virus that duplicates damage to all that are infected

[foggy vessel]

my favorite red item

[proven venture]

Seems pretty cracked to me ngl

[knotty geyser]

oh does it do nanobugged?

[foggy vessel]

no

[knotty geyser]

operators nonalt special debuff?

oh. weird i legit dont remember it

[foggy vessel]

ohhh the access node can spawn even after you kill super ego?

[knotty geyser]

oh mb i misunderstood, no if you kill solus heart you can't return to the exchange

but you can go to exchange, do your stuff, go back to regular run, and then return later again if you dont fight heart

[livid gull]

does the secret boss give anything outside of skin

[knotty geyser]

satisfaction of a job well done

but no you can end your run with it or go to void locus or loop

[livid gull]

ive only done it once and i went to the normal portal

[foggy vessel]

i wonder why it sends you to void locus

[livid gull]

void takes to locus?

[karmic swallow]

is it better to alter m1s for damage in mult power mode?

[proven prairie]

whats the best starting drones for operator?
or are they all equally good

[knotty geyser]

personal preference, i usually use gunner and healer, because healer buffs attack speed, and gunner scales on attack speed

[livid gull]

are tier 2/3 drones worth getting

and do they count as 2/3 drones for empathy cores dmg buff

[proven prairie]

alr thx

[knotty geyser]

i believe they count as 1 for empathy cores unfortunately

[karmic swallow]

if you're playing as operator with alt m2, no, if not, yeah

[karmic swallow]

no they dont

[knotty geyser]

but combining them if you're at the ally limit lets you get more allies so

[livid gull]

ah i thought itd be the opposite cause default operator m2 still shows the original number of drones

[lavish jacinth]

depends
powermode has a quirk where the accuracy of the primary affects the secondary so having something like saw + nail will give you a perfectly accurate nailgun and good dps up close

[karmic swallow]

once you spend the charges they dont come back

[karmic swallow]

oh i meant with double nailgun, like hold m1, release, and then hold m2 and release

[lavish jacinth]

oh

with nailgun it's better to always hold

[karmic swallow]

though that completely accurate nailgun thing sounds amazing

[livid gull]

eats ur dmg tho

sure ur accurate but its not as awesome as it seems

[lavish jacinth]

it's really good if you actually use the saw

scrap + nail also works if you refuse to get close to things though
rebar + nail isn't great though, rebar has low dps by itself, and it has hidden recoil that'll affect nailgun every time it fires

[ocean wigeon]

feels stupid to ask this as a lover of risk but.... does alloyed deserve my wallet?

[karmic swallow]

i never see people use the scrap launcher

[lavish jacinth]

definitely

[karmic swallow]

it has a very annoying bossfight but everything else is fun

[knotty geyser]

which one do you find annoying? heart or wing?

[coarse sandal]

If I've already killed the solus heart once can I kill it again in the same run?

[karmic swallow]

wing, heart is amazing

[lavish jacinth]

yeah, people really dislike it for some reason, I think because of the cooldown
but it's actually decent

[ocean wigeon]

steam reviews alone are phenomenal, i just havent pulled the trigger.

[lavish jacinth]

wing is tanky but it's a fun fight imo

[knotty geyser]

i enjoy watching wing burn itself to death

[karmic swallow]

i dont, im also burning to death

[knotty geyser]

also it is very susceptible to head stomp

[knotty geyser]

the coolant... you must break the coolant..

[lavish jacinth]

just stand near the coolant thingy

[ocean wigeon]

are you vanilla? how are our beloved mods holdin gup with the update

[livid gull]

Wing is soooo tanky lol

[karmic swallow]

broken

[coarse sandal]

Does anyone know?

[knotty geyser]

popping wings pimples lowers armor

[lavish jacinth]

nope

as in no you can't

[karmic swallow]

microwave laser

[livid gull]

There's two coolant tanks on the left and right
Destroy one and go into it's zone

The laser is fucked up tbh

[knotty geyser]

you can also break the heat vents to not deal with it at all

[lavish jacinth]

just hop on a conduit

[livid gull]

70% of the time it just, doesn't hit me

[karmic swallow]

and then burn?

[lavish jacinth]

the overheat builds up pretty slowly

[karmic swallow]

[lavish jacinth]

you have plenty of time to avoid the laser

[ocean wigeon]

sadge, but its time to get risky n run it raw as intended

[lavish jacinth]

also touching the coolant zone instantly cleanses the burn iirc

[livid gull]

If you break both you can go from one to the other

[knotty geyser]

its grandparent's but i believe nerfed a bit

[livid gull]

Avoiding the laser and the heat buildup

[knotty geyser]

grandparents hits like immediately but wing's builds

[lavish jacinth]

yeah, you get a pretty generous amount of time

[lavish jacinth]

yeah the laser is silly lol
the visual is massive but the actual damage seems to be a pinpoint laser like a titan beam

[lofty scroll]

if im playing with friends can we all get the achievement for ||solus heart|| even if some of have to accept the offer while others have to reject?

just wanna know before we all start a run lol

[karmic swallow]

probably not

[gusty jasper]

ok how do i reject the offering cause I just killed them and nothing unlocked and it still booted me out

[tawny bramble]

can I find the code for ||artefact of prestige|| in-game or is it like the ones from sots? Don't want to spend ages combing the new stages if it's not even going to be there at all

[drifting swan]

Will dlc characters get alloyed collective skins like with sots?

[willow iris]

is the only way to decrypt the encrypted data from the boss ||by giving the wandering chef it and a key to craft it||?

[lavish jacinth]

||yep, although there are multiple items you can use as a key. specifically:|| ||sentry keys, prison matrix, and rusted/encrusted key||

[livid gull]

You're supposed to give it an item that isn't the item you give it to accept the offering

Forgot what it was called

[willow iris]

Can I ask you in dms to not fill this channel with spoiler tags

[livid gull]

Literally give it any random item

[pallid mirage]

How do you get drifters special skill

[gusty jasper]

alright ill try that next

[livid gull]

Same room you unlock drifter

Should be a sack to the left of her unlock

[pallid mirage]

Ahh okay, and it would seem that I've been one shot by the boss

[livid gull]

New bosses are actually pretty damn difficult

The easiest final boss imo is mithrix

[pallid mirage]

I wasn't strong enough

[pallid mirage]

[livid gull]

I think it's worth looping if you're doing Solus route just to not get destroyed by the unreal health bar of Solus wing lol

[slow hill]

what are all the ways to get to the dlc route? I know theres the interactable on stage 3 but is there other ways

[pallid mirage]

Yeah I kinda have to treat it like how I do false son

[lavish jacinth]

dw about it lol, this chat has been nothing but spoiler tags lately

[steel condor]

why did the DLC character's not get skins?

[lavish jacinth]

iirc there's a node on repurposed crater, and you get a portal if you kill AWU on siren's call, but I think that's it. Unless the lunar seers can get you there

idk if the other stage 4's have nodes, I didn't get one on abyssal depths

[willow iris]

Is the ||umbra Mul-t|| in the new boss area a scripted encounter? I was playing with friends and one of them had used up all of their lives while playing ||Mul-t|| and I'm not sure whether it spawned because we were trying to unlock drifter for the one person in our lobby that had the dlc or if it was because they had died? There weren't even any artifacts on

[livid gull]

They shouldn't considering the stage you're supposed to go to is a stage 4 in itself

Ive yet to see any either

[lavish jacinth]

if you go there from stage 4 it skips conduit canyon

[livid gull]

Yeah but how can you other than awu

[lavish jacinth]

you can get a node on repurposed crater

[wintry fjord]

How do you unlock artifact of prestige?

[livid gull]

Ah I read wrong mb

[lavish jacinth]

they decided that they want to avoid cross-dlc content in the future, and because it'd increase the workload a lot

[livid gull]

Triangle circle circle
Square circle triangle
Circle circle square

[lavish jacinth]

yeah, that always happens

if you're fast enough you don't even have to fight him, the door closes behind you as he spawns and locks him in, lol

although it does reopen eventually

[amber vine]

||Can you go back to the alloyed collective after you got kicked out? My buddy accidentally attacked the guy||

[lavish jacinth]

nope

[willow iris]

Do the ||sentry keys|| drop from somewhere during the boss fight, or do they have to be gotten from a chest or something like how ||the prison matrixes are dropped from the inactive units with blue boxes||? I'm pretty sure I did the fight very wrong by standing directly on top of the boss and hitting it with seeker's projectiles + symbiotic scorpion + tonic

[runic jungle]

If you have Longstanding Solitude can you still get on path of the colossus after youve looped? 😅

[lavish jacinth]

||they drop from the collective elites on conduit canyon, but if you skipped it there's no other way to get them afaik||

[lavish jacinth]

you can use the geodes in the bazaar for a guaranteed green portal, if you're on a valid stage for one

[runic jungle]

arent those not there after a loop? I havent found any when we go there

[worthy cliff]

is this a bug or mechanic? i had a ghost dunestrider bc of happy mask and it did its low hp suck thing but it was sucking me and killed me?

[lavish jacinth]

pretty sure they're always there, you'll get a message in chat if they spawned. They're just hard to find sometimes

[runic jungle]

"Storm beckons you..." or somethin?

[willow iris]

Intended, it takes hp from both enemies and allies when doing the attack

[lavish jacinth]

yeah, that's normal
the dunestrider succ has friendly fire enabled, even as a ghost

[lavish jacinth]

yep

[worthy cliff]

ah damn didnt know

[willow iris]

Same way the worked before it was changed

[dawn portal]

How many gestures are you supposed to have before picking up spinel tonic

[lavish jacinth]

one of very few cases where a non-lunar item can directly hurt you

[lavish jacinth]

either 4 gestures or 1 gesture and 3 fuel cells
or any combination that adds up to 4, as long as you have at least 1 gesture

(assuming you're going for infinite tonic, you don't NEED gesture to use it normally)

[spring storm]

My game is unmodded. So I unlocked bandit's new skin but the problem is that it looks exactly the same as the default skin for me. Is anyone else having this issue?

[dry glen]

does anyone know if solutional haunt has a logbook? or does a radar tower randomly spawn?

[fringe isle]

It has a logbook go to the opposite door from where the 2 keys are and beneath the spawn platform there should be a book

[dry glen]

wdym? the room with the prison matrix's?

[mighty mist]

how do you get drifters alt fourth

[dry glen]

you go to where u unlocked drifter as drifter and open drifters sack

[gusty jasper]

you're doing what to drifters sack

[mighty mist]

it doesn’t let me interact with it

[gusty jasper]

at least ask for consent first damn

[dry glen]

have u already interacted with it?

[mighty mist]

no

bruh i think my friend opened it does that mean im screwed out of it

[rare flame]

any tips for when solus wing has the room HOT and then goes for a laser? how can i dodge it when i have to stay in the safezone

[dry glen]

destroy the things that generate the heat

[rich jetty]

safe zone? break the things thats generatin the heat

[dry glen]

ok so i found the logbook
but im 100% sure i've checked there before

does it despawn when you grab the prison matrix's maybe? or when u kill mul-t?

[lavish jacinth]

you can use the conduits to ride around the room and avoid the laser

[rich jetty]

conduits let you avoid everything

[lavish jacinth]

the fire damage actually builds up pretty slowly and gets cleansed as soon as you touch a safe zone, so it's pretty safe to leave and dodge the laser

[brittle shuttle]

And cooling zones last a chunk of time even after u leave

signaled by the buff they give

[lavish jacinth]

yeah, it's pretty forgiving

[dry glen]

is there any way to prevent the ''items disabled'' debuff?

[lavish jacinth]

in what context? pretty sure it's always caused by certain enemy attacks, so just don't get hit

[coarse sandal]

Does spare drone parts affect engineer turrets in any way?

[kindred herald]

don’t get hit

[dry glen]

as in like prevent it if you do get hit

[lavish jacinth]

yes

[coarse sandal]

Ok great ty

[lavish jacinth]

blast shower or anything else that cleanses debuffs, but otherwise no

so just like... don't get hit

[gusty jasper]

ben's raincoat my beloved

[coarse sandal]

Also do they get their own col. Droneman or is it just the machine gun and rockets?

[dry glen]

ben's raincoat actualy doesnt prevent it

[gusty jasper]

wut

[dawn portal]

Is it a bug or intentional that you can't interact with things as drones

[gusty jasper]

that seems like a bug

[lavish jacinth]

just the chaingun and stuff, they don't get the item itself

[lavish jacinth]

braincoat being dogshit as usual

[lavish jacinth]

I think it's probably intentional

[coarse sandal]

If the items are already on the ground or it's command essence you can interact with it

[lavish jacinth]

I think the idea is that you aren't supposed to be able to do much as a drone, but you can still play the game somewhat instead of being stuck in spectator mode

[gentle moss]

Eclipse Lite + 2 Visions of Heresy on engineer

[dawn portal]

I thought the point was to be able to pick up items still and not get left behind, but you can't even get items unless your friends are being generous

[arctic sequoia]

is it viable to kill final boss with aurelionite for the false son achivement while aslo getting the 40 lunar spikes achivement? or will i be too slow? also which final boss

[lavish jacinth]

1. I don't see why not, how fast you go shouldn't really matter since aurelionite scales over time like enemies do. Only tricky thing is avoiding proc items and not doing too much damage to mithrix so Auri can get the kill, which might be harder to do on a long run
2. Has to be mithrix

although you can get 40 spikes relatively quickly with stone flux pauldron and some other %health buffs

[hybrid coral]

anyone know what this locked monster log is? i'm guessing it's ||solus heart|| but i've already beaten the boss a couple times now so i'm not sure why it's locked

[waxen gale]

what does faulty conducter do

[kindred herald]

they gotta drop the log iirc

[hybrid coral]

weird that it works like that, but ty 🙏

[lavish jacinth]

might be another mithrix situation where the "boss" is actually multiple distinct enemies, which does weird things to the logbook

[winter turret]

bro does anyone know what happened or is this just a bug

[lavish jacinth]

my best guess is that it might be the double dipping bug with lunar ruin

[glossy hearth]

just curious, does the credit card have a limit now or did i just somehow drop it

[hybrid coral]

if it's on cooldown (for example if you switch to another equip, use it, then back to card) it won't work

[glossy hearth]

no like i had a credit card, but now its gone

[amber swan]

false son aura too strong

[lavish jacinth]

actually no, it wouldn't be a true double dip because you don't have any items that could proc each other

but it looks like you do have a ton of ruin stacks on both the eye and the main boss, (it's hard to tell how many with the low quality), so I guess the capacitor procced bands and sticky bomb, and the ruin stacks made it do a shitload of damage

[glossy hearth]

like i have no equipment item now

[lavish jacinth]

there's an enemy that makes you drop your equipment item

I forget the name, it's one of the 800 solus thingies lol

[glossy hearth]

tragic

[lavish jacinth]

you can pick it back up

[glossy hearth]

welp

[lavish jacinth]

unless you left the stage or it fell off a cliff or something

[glossy hearth]

i dont know when i lost it

guess i gotta call the bank

[flat isle]

what is the best drifter loadout ?

[pallid mirage]

Is plasma skrimp and ICBM is a good thing right

[lavish jacinth]

yeah

[pallid mirage]

Would Atgs be better or no

[lavish jacinth]

if you have a clover then atg is better, but if it's just shrimp by itself then it doesn't really matter (in the context of ICBM)

[winter turret]

fax

[winter turret]

it was 52 stacks but yeah probably a lucky proc

[versed grail]

hey i is there like list somewhere of everything the chef can give

[pallid mirage]

I see

Oh yeah with benthic bloom will the out come will always just be legendary items in the end

[lavish jacinth]

yeah, pretty much

it only changes white and green items, so other tiers won't be affected

but since most items you get will be white or green, you'll end up with mostly red items

benthic also tends to make more of itself which converts more items per stage

[pallid mirage]

Is the conversion of items different are they always the same

[lavish jacinth]

they'll convert to a random item of the same category

[pallid mirage]

Ahh

Idk whether to call the Bloom op or not

Because 22 Dios is kinda insane

[lavish jacinth]

I'd say it's a gimmicky item that's a hail mary at best lol

sometimes it can salvage an awful run, but other times it just makes things worse

[pallid mirage]

It has messed up my build before so your right

But the out come in the end game is so silly to the point it makes you a walking Chernobyl

WE HAVE FOOD ITEMS

Can you only do this on the new boss

[brisk crypt]

What's the crafting recipe for ATG? Looking to craft up to Murf and Churf combo.

[glass minnow]

how do i get these 5 items

[lavish jacinth]

find the ||wandering chef in the area after solus wing and craft them||

[glass minnow]

what di i need to craft them

[lavish jacinth]

I think I've heard that he exists on some of the other boss stages but I haven't found him

[ember sinew]

how do I decrypt the encrypted thing in the new dlc

[lavish jacinth]

I don't know all of the crafting recipes, the easiest one is bison steak + a bunch of other stuff (I ended up using bungus but there were quite a few items that worked)

there's also one that you get from combining both perforators

I'd recommend just getting there with a lot of different items and experimenting

[lavish jacinth]

||go to the wandering chef in the area with SPEX, and combine it with either a sentry key, prison matrix, or rusted/encrusted key||

[crude flame]

^ what afaxmachine said || n then you go to spex [the button that says offer item] and give them the cerebellum||

[ember sinew]

oh I went there twice but didn't notice any wandering chef so I just attack SPEX then go finish the run thank you

[ember sinew]

alr thanks!

[lavish jacinth]

yeah, he's in a little room over to the left

[valid scroll]

can you go to the area with ||spex|| more than once in a run?

[placid quarry]

guys is it fair to say that ||solus wing|| is by far the hardest boss they have put in this game ever not even close?

[marble isle]

do you get anything out of going to solus wing through conduit canyon vs. through repurposed crater

[marble isle]

probably, but "hardest boss" isn't a particularly hard bar to clear

[vernal shadow]

Has anyone found the environment log for solutional haunt

[edgy night]

Hey, which drones are reccomended on solo runs with Operator? i wanna maximize my chances of beating monsoon

[lavish jacinth]

mostly sentry keys I think, conduit canyon also has pretty good loot in general but idk how exactly it compares to the other stage 4s

it's also technically easier to get to since the nodes are guaranteed on stage 3

[lavish jacinth]

with default m2 I think it's a bit better to prioritize combat drones, but with the alt just get as many as you can

[still torrent]

Hey what does that 4th boss item do? @glass minnow

[glass minnow]

||gives an extra equipment slot||

[still torrent]

Thank ya kindly!

[nocturne sierra]

How much more rare is the freeze drone than the bombardment drone

[bleak dew]

for that one drifter mission where u have to kill a boss with an activated shrine of the mountain do you have to throw it at them or can you just hit them with it while its in your bag

[uncut knot]

Alloyed Collective Spoilers!!!
How do I exit the ||solus haunt|| after defeating the boss? From videos I saw, there's supposed to be a portal that spawns on the corpse, but no corpse spawned for me, and I don't know how to progress. I had swarm active, which might have affected the corpse? But I've had swarm active for previous runs and the corpse spawned no problem

[nocturne sierra]

I think it says throw

[lavish jacinth]

rip
yeah, that's a softlock, it seems to be caused by cleaner drones destroying the corpse

[mighty mist]

what does tinker do exactly to everything

[mighty mist]

throw it

[tender lily]

so for printers or any vendor that has a shown item it’ll reroll that, but if you have an item on that ground that’s you don’t want ig use tinker n it’ll give you a temp copy of that item n then a item scrap matching that rarity to buff ur char

hope that’s understandable

[mighty mist]

yeah that makes sense

[tender lily]

i personally just like her normal 4 temp items cuz you can do some game breaking stuff with it

[mighty mist]

like what

[foggy vessel]

so umm

is luminous shot worth looking for on operator at all
i mean i know its good for the damage since when you get a lot of drones youll be practically using m2 every half second but does the 20% cooldown reduction on m2 even do anything noticeable

[tender lily]

yes it does

really great item for op

[foggy vessel]

i dont know what operator's m2 cooldown is since i never have 0 charges of it so idk if it reduces it by 1 second or like 0.5 or

[tender lily]

i can’t really give you numbers since i don’t dive that deep but it does make it noticeable faster

[visual anchor]

I picked up a mocha as a test and it was decrease by like .10 seconds I think

Or around there, so maybe for 7.5% attack speed aroumd .10

[foggy vessel]

wait attack speed also increases the recharge speed of his m2?

[tender lily]

their ability doesn’t scale with attack speed

[foggy vessel]

like artificer?

oh

[visual anchor]

I'm fairly positive because I tested it on this run for operator

[tender lily]

ur probably thinking of his charged shoots

[glossy pagoda]

What does spex do?

[visual anchor]

I am lol.

Oops my bad

[tender lily]

yeah that’s not what we’re talking about

yeahhh 😭 it’s all good tho

[foggy vessel]

take you to the true boss fight, ||solus heart|| when you give him the ||decrypted cerebellum||

[visual anchor]

I was thinking m1 cuz of the charged shots that do 600% damage

[glossy pagoda]

how do i get that last item

[tender lily]

.

[glossy pagoda]

thanks for the help yall

[foggy vessel]

||craft the decrypted version by putting the encrypted one dropped from solus wing and combining it with 1 of any 3 keys, void key, rusted key or the sentry key||

[vernal shadow]

Asking quick again if anyone’s found logbook for solutional haunt

[frank mason]

Does Anyone Know What Increasing The Tiers Of The Drones Does Exactly Or Is It Just A Stat Boost Because I Feel Like It’s More

[foggy vessel]

I have it but I forgot how
if i remember I got it in one of the rooms that open up after ||solus wing is dead, the rooms where the matrices and the tc280 are found||

hope that helps

[vernal shadow]

I swear I’ve fully looked through both of those what

[tender lily]

i feel like it’s an overall stat boost, i’ve gotten a drone to tier 4 idk if that’s considered high but it ups the dps by a lot

[bleak dew]

does anyone know where the lost backpack is for drifter in solutional haunt?

[foggy vessel]

its in the same room you unlock her

[bleak dew]

i dont see it anywhere

[signal apex]

i did find the 'clue' for the legendary chest, its the golden trees

[bleak dew]

nvm found it

[tender lily]

that would make so much sense like the mushrooms on that one map

[glass minnow]

does anybody know what the other three are?
||steak is steak plus can/mushrooms, the 5th is both worm drops||

[tender lily]

leeching seed n lepton daisy

[tender lily]

both worm drops meaning the fire n electric boss item?

[glass minnow]

yes

[tender lily]

okay thanks

[acoustic burrow]

Hey guys

with the new dlc boss when it turns red how do you avoid it

[tender lily]

try clover n bottle of chaos if possible i think thats one too

[tender lily]

so around the map these heat emitters n cold emitters spawn

[glass minnow]

is the chef in any other areas?

[tender lily]

you can either break the heat ones n stop the map from cruel sunning you or you can break the cold n sit next to it to be immune to the cruel sun

you can make the boss cruel sun himself if you break all the cold and leave the heat but yeah

hope that’s understandable

[tender lily]

nah but you can go back by killing a alloy worship unit

[acoustic burrow]

thank youu!

[tender lily]

and being granted access again

[tender lily]

np

[visual anchor]

Hi does rejecting the offering mean beating the secret boss/enemy after beating ac boss

[tender lily]

yes

[visual anchor]

Or vice versa

So what does accepting mean

[tender lily]

so after beating the secret boss

he goes into this weakened state, hit him again to reject, talk to him to accept which ends the run

[visual anchor]

I think I tried killing it before but I wasn't strong enough

[tender lily]

but beware ur drones can sometimes hit him n will auto reject

[visual anchor]

Also that's where chef is right

[tender lily]

yes

[visual anchor]

Cool thank you sir

[tender lily]

but the area where chef is isn’t the boss you have to beat, don’t beat up spex or you won’t be able to go to the boss

np

[visual anchor]

Is that the name of the secret boss?

[pliant anvil]

I'm about to fight the secret boss, is acrid accept or reject?
for the skin

[visual anchor]

It tells you

[tender lily]

Commando - Reject
Huntress - Reject
Bandit - Accept
MUL-T - Reject
Engineer - Reject
Artificer - Accept
Mercenary - Reject
REX - Accept
Loader - Accept
Acrid - Reject
Captain - Accept

[wise wing]

if I have shaped glass and open a void cradle will it just kill me?

[visual anchor]

Nah

[tender lily]

nah 50% of current

[wise wing]

okie

[visual anchor]

That would suck lol

[tender lily]

nah that’s the guy who tps you there

[visual anchor]

Oh I see

What do you guys think of Operators alt m2? I think it's not great longterm

I do not like it personally

[hoary cobalt]

is there anyway to go to the final boss ||solus heart|| after beating the ||solus wing|| and leaving through the portal instead of progressing to the final, or did i completely ruin my run

[red nest]

after solus wing room, what do i do

[thorny scarab]

hi guys was i not supposed to enter the artifact portal because the run started looping

[visual anchor]

Yeah it auto loop when you do artifacts

[thorny scarab]

so how do i actually beat the game? was there a different teleporter i had to find?

[visual anchor]

You can obliterate if you're going for mastery

Or just go do final boss

[thorny scarab]

im on the 7th or 8th stage rn

[thorny scarab]

what does that mean?

[visual anchor]

Yeah so you can either go through celestial if it spawns a celestial portal or do mithrix

[lavish jacinth]

jsyk, you can check in-game with the logbook, under the challenges section

[visual anchor]

The celestial portal is the obliterate thing, you go through it and kill urself quite literally

[thorny scarab]

ohhhh where do i find that portal? is it on the next 5th stage? like the 10th stage?

[visual anchor]

I think it spawns 7 or 8 I honestly can't remember

[red nest]

nvm.

[lavish jacinth]

the celestial portal appears on every 3rd stage while looping, so it'll be 8, 13, 18, etc.

[visual anchor]

I never personally obliterate but I think it's stage 7 or 8

[thorny scarab]

wasnt on the 7th so it must be the 8th. I'll get to the portal thingy and check back here 😭 This is the first time ive gotten this far

[visual anchor]

Yeah listen to fax @thorny scarab

[lavish jacinth]

but if you want to fight the actual final boss, you go to stage 5 (or a multiple of it) and specifically take the primordial teleporter without realigning it first

[visual anchor]

You on monsoon?

[thorny scarab]

no no on the easiest one this is my 4th run ever I recently got the game

[visual anchor]

Ohh I see, then I wouldn't obliterate tbh lol unless you want 10 lunar coins

[lavish jacinth]

you do unlock a character for obliterating

[visual anchor]

Oh yeah merc

[lavish jacinth]

but you also get one for beating the boss, so either way works. Worth doing both eventually

[visual anchor]

True story

[thorny scarab]

ill try the boss then. i think i have a pretty okay build rn

[visual anchor]

What character are you playing? I'm assuming commando or huntress

[thorny scarab]

no bandit actually idk how i got him but i did

[lavish jacinth]

you get him for beating stage 3

[tender lily]

i wish to be in ur state of freshness, peak game 🥲

hope you enjoy it

[visual anchor]

Real

[thorny scarab]

i am very much enjoying it im actually excited to beat the game the first time

[visual anchor]

I'm just doing the dlc achievements now

Wish I could play the game for the first time again would be peak

But it's cool knowing how items work and what item synergy's for each character, etc.

[lavish jacinth]

simply hit yourself in the head with a brick until you forget the entire game

[visual anchor]

Well yesterday when I was trying to beat solus wing 1st loop, I wanted to 😭

[tender lily]

great idea

[visual anchor]

Mf is hard 1st loop

[tender lily]

oh? i didn’t have a problem, what char you playing?

[visual anchor]

2nd loop he's easy tho

I was doing operator

Even had drone parts

I think it was purely that I'm kind of shit at the game

[tender lily]

that’s who i melt them on 😭

nah don’t say that

getting to him proves other wise

[lavish jacinth]

to me it felt similarly tanky both with and without looping
I think it just has a shitload of adaptive armor

[tender lily]

i remember i got shit on by that bird boss, moves around too much for me

[visual anchor]

Dude that thing has a certain ground attack that one shot me the other day

Shit was wild

[tender lily]

yeah she kinda just precision airstrikes you

[visual anchor]

I can dodge the laser it's pretty easy to dodge ngl

[graceful mural]

Ok, so I'm doing a run but I accidentally got kicked out of the hidden realm stage right after ||solus wing|| because my ||faraday spurs|| hurt the lil robot guy. Can I get back there if I loop, or am I going to have to completely restart my run?

[tender lily]

kill a alloy worship unit n be granted access again

[graceful mural]

k thanks

[thorny scarab]

i found the light blue ghost portal

[visual anchor]

blue is for the Bazaar

If you have gone there yet

[thorny scarab]

no that one was different

this one was called celestial portal

[visual anchor]

Oh yeah that's where u kill urself

[thorny scarab]

interesting sentence 😭

[tender lily]

obliterate

[visual anchor]

Yeah I was tryna be funny guy

[lavish jacinth]

that'll take you to the obliteration ending
there's no boss fight there though, so if you wanna fight the final boss you can keep going

[thorny scarab]

ill just end it all

[tender lily]

there is 😈

[lavish jacinth]

*||actually there can be a boss there but it's absolutely awful and you need a specific item to access it||

[tender lily]

yeahhh

[visual anchor]

You'll get mercenary unlocked

Melee samurai character

[thorny scarab]

the beads of fealty one? I read about that somewhere

[tender lily]

really fun character, just locked to melee n this game hates melee

[tender lily]

yes that exactly

[lavish jacinth]

not really lol

[visual anchor]

Yeah I love mercs alt special too

[lavish jacinth]

it only hates melee without mobility, which merc has plenty of

[tender lily]

just referring to some of that mobs that can kinda one tap you if ur kissing them

yeah love merc mobility tho that he does have

[visual anchor]

His AOE makes up for it imo

[lavish jacinth]

yea, but merc has iframes for days

[tender lily]

see now i wanna play merc, sighs i still have yet to do the flawless challenge

probably gonna be my only one im missing

[visual anchor]

What's the flawless challenge

[lavish jacinth]

ethereal

[tender lily]

for one of his abilities

[swift oracle]

Is it possible to loop back to the chef combinations/control unit guy... I accidentally shot the orb and havent fought the new special boss and I would like to know if I've just wasted 2hrs tryna loop back....

[tender lily]

flawless a prismatic trial i believe

[visual anchor]

Oh yes his special right

I did that one on a lucky seed

[tender lily]

yes just kill a alloy worship unit be granted access n repeat the process

[tender lily]

🥲

[lavish jacinth]

when I did it I just waited for a command/glass seed and cheesed it with squid turrets, lol

[tender lily]

🥲

[swift oracle]

Huh...? I havent been able to find the red warsat thing since my accidental mess up ^^"''

[lavish jacinth]

alloy worship unit is the secret boss on siren's call

[visual anchor]

Tell you what, I think if you get glass, and maybe command you could probably do it

[hollow nymph]

do yall think drifter will get some buffs 🥹

[brittle shuttle]

drifter is so far away from needing buffs

[marble magnet]

What does drifters alt special do?

[swift oracle]

ah I see. Yeah somehow in all my looping I aint been there

[brittle shuttle]

Only like. Tornado slam needs buffed

[visual anchor]

Also probably topaz would help

[tender lily]

maybe

[hollow nymph]

the alt special needss to be fixed

[old pumice]

Why does raingunner and void fiend have 3rd skins for dlc 2, but no other dlc survivor has an extra skin other than mastery, dlc 1 and 2 survivors could’ve also had the ||accept and decompile/refuse|| challenge and skin but they don’t?

[tender lily]

nah it’s not bad

[lavish jacinth]

devs decided that they didn't wanna have more cross-dlc content

[tender lily]

you need the item scrap to power her passive anyways

[brittle shuttle]

Apply a random debuff to enemies if it hits an enemy
If it hits an interactable displaying an item (not a chest, but a printer, multishop, etc) it rerolls it
If an item is on the ground, it turns it into scrap and makes a temporary copy

[brittle shuttle]

What about it needs to be fixed

[lavish jacinth]

plus it increases the workload a lot if they have to add skins for every dlc for every character

[old pumice]

Makes sense

Weird that they’d only do that after giving rg and vf prime meridian skins tho

[visual anchor]

dlc mastery skin for operator looks clean

Not dlc but mastery

[tender lily]

pirate!

[lavish jacinth]

yeah, I guess they were considering it initially and changed their minds

[swift oracle]

Okay that brought me back to here but I still need the special item... since I used it alrdy...

[sharp jewel]

is the challenge for operators alt R bugged?

I didnt touch the ground at all and it didnt unlock

[lavish jacinth]

which item?

[jaunty furnace]

you mean alt shift?

[sharp jewel]

whatever the drone punch up is

[jaunty furnace]

elder lemurian one or conduit canyon one

[sharp jewel]

conduit canyon

[swift oracle]

The Exposed Cerebellum, I dont have the ball item from the new control unit boss since I already had made the Exposed Cerebellum and needed to get back to him to get the drop to make it again...

[jaunty furnace]

grind rails dont count, for some reason

[sharp jewel]

I had 15 hopoo feathers

[jaunty furnace]

get or something

[lavish jacinth]

...oh
if you already used the exposed cerebellum then you're just stuck, rip

you can only get the encrypted cerebellum once

[sharp jewel]

and this was my fourth loop so I insta shredded the boss

[tender lily]

get the first item, then get gesture of the drowned

[swift oracle]

BRUH

[sharp jewel]

and still nothing

[marble magnet]

Wow

[jaunty furnace]

same result but with less control

[hollow nymph]

were you on the ground for the solus thing too

[marble magnet]

I swear sale star is blacklisted from salvage because all run it's never came from it

[tender lily]

indeed

[sharp jewel]

no I even jumped for that

[lavish jacinth]

wouldn't surprise me if it actually is

[tender lily]

what’s more control worth in a run full of chaos 😡

[sharp jewel]

maybe I was on the ground for a split second or something?

[lavish jacinth]

it's possible you briefly touched an enemy or something, which counts as being "on the ground"

or stood on a drone

[tender lily]

yes it is

it would be to op, it’s blacklisted from being a temp item

[jaunty furnace]

[sharp jewel]

rip my 2 hour run

Guess I will just have to do it again

[tender lily]

yeah was a pain but you got this trust

[visual anchor]

Do all interactibles that you bag up with drifter not traverse stages?

I don't think lunar pools do

Otherwise infinite pearls in bazaar lol

[hollow nymph]

is sonorous whispers blacklisted too

[marble magnet]

No for some reason

Is there any way to angle junk cube up?

All im getting us straight forward

[hollow field]

does voidling not award mastery skins?? i just watched someone not get the drifter mastery after ending their run at voidling

[lavish jacinth]

it should

basically any win on monsoon counts for mastery

[wheat sandal]

hey so does anyone know if the sentry keys are a limited spawn? fell off the stage in coop with 4 of them, respawn plane bugged out and now i'm falling and none have dropped for my teammate in 10 minutes

[lavish jacinth]

yeah, they stop dropping after a while, idk what the limit is though

[wintry crag]

Can you capture all teleporter bosses in Drifter’s sack ?

[lavish jacinth]

the most I've gotten is 9

[tender lily]

can’t put any tp bosses in there

[tender lily]

have you been killing the collective enemies?

big forcefield guys hard to miss

[flat narwhal]

How do I get the rest of the items when I okay with artifact of command it shows I don’t have all of the items like ignition tank

[lavish jacinth]

ignition tank is DLC, if you don't own it or have it disabled then you can't spawn it with command

you also can't pick items that you don't have unlocked

[flat narwhal]

How do I unlock those items? Play without command and hope they drop?

[tender lily]

most r locked behind achievements

[lavish jacinth]

if you look at the ingame logbook and hover over a locked thing, it'll tell you what you need to do to unlock it

and using command won't prevent unlocks, if you're wondering

[hollow field]

i need to ask before i go insane is it physically possible to get elder lemurians to spawn on stage 1 using artifact of dissoance and kin

or is there something in the code that makes them unable to show up that early under ANY circumstances

[sharp parcel]

Weird question but is there a way to remove a character I unlocked so I can redo it 😭

[hollow field]

cause i'm in the hundreds of resets and it really fuckin feels like it

[lavish jacinth]

the realercheatunlocks mod lets you re-lock achievements, but idk if it's been updated yet

[lavish jacinth]

they cannot afaik

[sharp parcel]

Okay thanks!

[lavish jacinth]

kin only picks monsters that the director can afford to spawn, and elder lems are too expensive for stage 1 I think

or if it can then it's just really rare, idk how exactly kin selects monsters

[hollow field]

does swarms change anything in the equation

[lavish jacinth]

nope

if you're trying to do the operator achievement it probably is easier to just do a run and wait for one to spawn naturally

[hollow field]

yea i tried to do that twice and i was too strong both times lmao elder lems straight up died before the 10 seconds were up

so i was getting really annoyed

[lavish jacinth]

could use artifact of honor to give them more health, lol

[hollow field]

and unlike somehow every other run i got 0 elite elder lemurian spawns

[jovial coral]

hello !! does anyone know the monster log that comes after greater wisp, and the two after scavenger 🥹 one of them is locked for me so im very curious

[hollow field]

getting them up in the air is actually really easy surprisingly so i was so mad that they just died before the time was up lol

[lavish jacinth]

can you post a screenshot? you'll need a role to post it, #roles

[hollow field]

it seems like the way operator's special works if you keep shooting them they just won't fall

[lavish jacinth]

I would just throw at them

[jovial coral]

sure thing boss 🫡 i was confused why i couldnt post pics lol ill try that now

[hollow field]

but i shot them too hard so they died

guess i could try again

[lavish jacinth]

hence why I suggest cube

it lasts 10 seconds and does no damage by itself

[hollow field]

oh that would make sense

[jovial coral]

will spoiler just in case

[hollow field]

oh first is solus transporter

the other two are the two final bosses of the dlc

[jovial coral]

o word!! but i fought both of them so i was confused why its locked o.O but ty!

[lavish jacinth]

yeah, one of the bosses seems to have a bug where it appears locked until you actually get the log

[hollow field]

it just shows up as locked for some reason lol

[jovial coral]

ahh okok!! tysm 😇

[hollow field]

i've already beaten the ||solus heart|| like 4 times and it's still like that

[jovial coral]

IM SAYING LIKE

[lavish jacinth]

mithrix had (or has? I forget if they ever fixed it lol) a similar bug, something to do with the fact that the boss is technically multiple different enemies

[hollow field]

strange since neither of the two new final bosses have more than 1 phase

[jovial coral]

im getting war flashbacks to grinding voidling logbook 😔 lord have mercy

[hollow field]

||solus wing technically has multiple due to the way it's structured but it doesn't actually have multiple healthbars the same way mithrix or voidling do||

[hollow field]

i still haven't done that lol

it's the only one pre ac im missing

[lavish jacinth]

could be that the "offering" version is a different enemy tho, idk

[jovial coral]

you chose life and happiness and i respect that

[real wave]

I just unlocked Chef, andhe seems fun, but what do I want to build with him? Any items I should focus on?

[lavish jacinth]

I got the voidling log first try

[lavish jacinth]

I think he's pretty flexible but leans towards procs, especially with the alt special boosting his primary

is also worth keeping an eye out for since he's got debuffs for days

[hollow field]

yea bands are good too though both cleavers and roll can proc it

[real wave]

Hmmm okay. And just so I'm not stupid. Pros are items like tri-tip right? Something that can proc an effect

[lavish jacinth]

basically any random on-hit effect, yeah

[tepid hull]

am i having a hard time remembering REX always feeling this way or was REX like nerfed really really hard at some point, i played them once in a while every so often but I remember REX being my favorite survivor when released, but playing them again to get the new expansion's dlc skin just felt absolutely terrible

[lavish jacinth]

he wasn't nerfed at any point, at least not intentionally

but I don't think he's changed much

[tepid hull]

odd, maybe its just getting used to how insanely mobile and kitted these newer characters ended up becoming that just going back to less mobile and damage stacked characters feels a bit worse

[flat narwhal]

I know there’s a way to get lunar coins by going thru the in game file can I do the same with items?

[lavish jacinth]

technically you can, although it's much easier to do with mods (specifically realercheatunlocks, but it's broken right now)

[autumn moon]

is it possible to unlock the dlc characters by playing in mult with someone having the dlc?

[lavish jacinth]

no

[valid mirage]

Did they update Engineers walking turrets with the new DLC to give em a bit better ai or are they still kind of lacking when it comes to being able to sprint constantly and use sprinting items

[fallen notch]

How do people have like impossible seeming amounts of lunar coins?

[lavish jacinth]

save-editing

[fallen notch]

Would it be cheating if I did it you think🤔

[lavish jacinth]

up to you lol

lots of people do it

[fallen notch]

Is it just editing files or is it more complicated than that?

[lavish jacinth]

just editing a notepad file

[fallen notch]

Oh wow

[lavish jacinth]

C:\Program Files(x86)\Steam\userdata[Number]\632360\remote\UserProfiles, open your file and ctrl+f for coins iirc

I think there are two coin values, one for total coins and one for current amount, make sure to change the current one

oh, and it's best to make a backup copy before you mess with it, just in case

[fallen notch]

I’m newer to this kind of stuff would where would I fjnd this

Im sorry if im being a bother

[lavish jacinth]

it's fine

[lavish jacinth]

saves should be at the folder I posted

[fallen notch]

So I open my game files and find this

[lavish jacinth]

yeah, if you're in the right folder then you should just see a text file

[fallen notch]

Ok thank you so much

[lavish jacinth]

np

[hallow willow]

okay this might be a very uncommon problem to have but I'm struggling to be excited for this dlc
like survivors of the void had items and survivors that I was excited about
and seekers of the storm added stuff about lore and the false son which I liked

this time it feels to me like it's more about drones than anything else and as someone who never really liked drones to begin with it's tough to find much enjoyment out of it
am I just completely alone in this or does anyone else feel the same?

[lavish jacinth]

I think you might be alone it ngl, so far I haven't seen anyone complaining about it

[hallow willow]

no it's not a complaint at all

[lavish jacinth]

and it's got the best final boss in the game so there's still that

[hallow willow]

like objectively I think the dlc is great and has a lot of thought put into it

[lavish jacinth]

if anything I think most people are liking the fact that drones are so much better now, and the new mechanics for them are cool

[hallow willow]

I just feel like I'm not the target audience and it makes me kinda sad

[lavish jacinth]

idk, I feel like there's still plenty to like even if you don't care about the drone stuff

[hallow willow]

I think you're misunderstanding what I'm saying but it's alright

[finite crown]

Is there a list of all the new items and their respective effects

[lavish jacinth]

the wiki has most of them, but it's still being worked on https://riskofrain2.wiki.gg/wiki/Alloyed_Collective

[storm yarrow]

How many item recipes have been found so far and is there a list?

[steady swallow]

are the new fights supposed to be this difficult? feels borderline unfair to do all this during stage 3

[lavish jacinth]

probably

although you can also do it while looping

[steady swallow]

looping feels too easy and stage 3 feels too hard lmao i wish we could do it stage 5 or smth

[lavish jacinth]

well, technically it's stage 4-ish since conduit canyon is also a stage

[steady swallow]

true true

[clear whale]

How do I toss something super far as Drifter

[wintry crag]

which special for operator is better ?

[coarse sandal]

How do I get the new artifact about the trial of mountain thing?

Is there a code for it

[trim lynx]

default id say

nano bugged is super strong

[wintry crag]

what other ability does that effect

[trim lynx]

all damage

[wintry crag]

what does droneboy and droneman both do for their special skill using operator ?

[jaunty furnace]

tbh i thought that was an easy pick but alt can fuckin obliterate groups of enemies

[candid shadow]

spex blocked me off, why did this happen?

[flat narwhal]

is there a way to change my profile name?

[tender lily]

don’t hit him…

[candid shadow]

yeah somebody told me it was capacitator + gesture, i didnt notice

[tender lily]

yeah unfortunate

you can get access back there if you kill a alloy worship unit

[primal vector]

Finally a gesture nerf

[obsidian tinsel]

are there any alternative items you can offer spex, or is it just the one?

seems kinda funny to develop a whole system for handing him whatever item you want unless there's more than one thing you can give him

unless maybe it's to let you exchange a few items in multiplayer? idk

[jaunty furnace]

thats a smart use for that.......

[obsidian tinsel]

even then you can only use him 3 times

idk if that's per player or not tho

[jaunty furnace]

huh

i dont remember that

[teal fern]

Final boss spoilers:
||I rejected the offer of solus heart and killed it, but the logbook still has it locked like I never killed it, is this bugged?
The other locked logs are all enemies I know: (voidling, alloy hunter, scavenger, solus wing)||

[jaunty furnace]

bug afaik

[teal fern]

Has others reported this yet?

[jaunty furnace]

yes

[teal fern]

could you link it? I cant find it

[wintry crag]

If my friend plays with me and doesn’t have the new DLC but I do, they buy the new drones, will they be able to respawn as the new drones ?

[teal fern]

no, they need the dlc to play as new drones

[jaunty furnace]

idk, i just remember seeing people talk about it

[tender temple]

Drone respawn is a bit jank in coop anyway

[wintry crag]

How so

[tender temple]

For some reason it only saves the drones in the logbook for the host for me

So my teammates don't get to spawn as drones they bought in the run I was the host in

[obsidian tinsel]

is there an artifact portal on the alternate stage 5? im 99% sure there isnt but i really want my trial of prestige lol

[tender temple]

Bought barrier drone and just didn't register it in the logbook and can't spawn as it afterwards

[jaunty furnace]

wdym by alternate

[obsidian tinsel]

i forget the name, the red one

[jaunty furnace]

go high up

[obsidian tinsel]

oh really????

im so happy it exists, i had no idea

[teal fern]

btw, have you seen anyone get the log for ||solus heart|| yet? Is it even possible to obtain right now?

[proven prairie]

what items should i look for on drifter?

[obsidian tinsel]

all the normal ones, plus melee oriented items like focus crystal, bolstering lantern, and maybe even monster tooth are better than normal

you also get hit a lot, so defensive items that dont rely on you not getting hit are useful

also, scrap more stuff than usual, because scrap gives you bonuses]

movement speed for white scrap, regen for green, attack speed for red, cooldown speed for yellow

they arent as strong as normal items, but a lot better than a mostly useless item like bungus

@proven prairie

[proven prairie]

what items should i scrap?

[obsidian tinsel]

really depends on your situation, but bustling fungus is a good place to start

cautious slug if you have other healing

bison steak generally

unless you want to cook it

[proven prairie]

alr ty

[obsidian tinsel]

tri tip can probably go, you dont have the attack speed to really stack up bleed

warbanner and maybe warped echo

stun grenade

probably more, and that's only white items

[proven prairie]

damn gotta make a spreadsheet for this lol

ty

[obsidian tinsel]

lol my buffs are all messed up

[jaunty furnace]

decisions like this are not just a tier list you learn

you decide based on what your build needs at that moment

[obsidian tinsel]

hard agree

but also

bungus can go

[jaunty furnace]

and you may shift your build entirely if an opportunity presents itself

[proven prairie]

i was kinda joking with the lol
might have not have seemed like it sorry

[jaunty furnace]

= possible stacking = vields potential

[obsidian tinsel]

fair

[jaunty furnace]

and probably some cooking recipe but i havent checked

[obsidian tinsel]

and engi exists

yeah i think so, maybe bungus + steak = cooked steak? gonna check

[lavish jacinth]

That does work yeah

Bison steak can combine with a bunch of stuff iirc

[obsidian tinsel]

oh and it works with scrap for quick fix

tho neither of those items are particularly stunning imo

but they are a whole lot better than their components

[lavish jacinth]

Does this count as a bison steak buff?

[obsidian tinsel]

absolutely

like, a pretty sizable one

[lavish jacinth]

Steak finally upgraded to "technically useful"

Now we just need a leeching seed buff

[obsidian tinsel]

holy, this would have been so useful to know 5 minutes ago

i had a beautiful crit build on flurry huntress, without a single white crit item

[wintry crag]

Does the node to get to the AU stages appear every stage 3, 8, and so so

[tender temple]

creepypasta

[lavish jacinth]

Yes, but only if you haven't been there on that run yet

[obsidian tinsel]

oh, you can only cook once?

[tender temple]

only the one time you get there yea

[wintry crag]

So after I go there then I won’t be able to return

[obsidian tinsel]

kinda weird that there's only one lunar item recipe

[lavish jacinth]

Apparently you can kill AWU for another portal, but that's the only way to get back

[tender temple]

awu spawns a portal even after it was done already?

i thought it was just an alt way of getting there

[lavish jacinth]

I guess? I haven't tested it but that's what I've heard

[pseudo gorge]

its the only way to get back to the computational exchange so far

[graceful dust]

There is also another one

[tender temple]

does it tp you straight to computational exchange then or do you have to do solus wing again

[pseudo gorge]

to computational exchange

[tender temple]

dude holy sirens call stocks skyrocketing

[graceful dust]

+

[obsidian tinsel]

oh yeah, beads of fealty

is there one of those for every elite type?

[graceful dust]

Only some elite aspects can be crafted

Which kinda sucks

but it is what it is

[tender temple]

hey at least you can still consistently get them now

unfortunately most of them are still ass but its cool

[obsidian tinsel]

just got my first new skin of the dlc, dang huntress looks cool

[tender temple]

all the skins look cool i suppose

the only purge ones im iffy about are mult and merc

the decompile ones are fine? i guess?

i wouldnt use most of them over their respective best skins but its a cool option

[obsidian tinsel]

nooo i was hoping merc's would be good

[tender temple]

merc one just feels a bit awkward

[obsidian tinsel]

i'm a sucker for oni, but the colors dont match properly, frail has too much going on, and the prisoner just feels very wrong

maybe i should just go back to default

[tender temple]

well youll looooove that the pink merc STILL has blue vfx

wolfoqol please save us

[obsidian tinsel]

nooooooooo

it's less the vfx, it's sword and booster on the back that bug me

[tender temple]

the purge merc has the exact same sword as the normal 2 skins just pink iirc

the booster no clue i didnt actually play merc after getting the skin yet

dude i dont want to do solus wing on loader 💔

[glacial knoll]

He means just the 2 lights he has

[graceful dust]

Hell exists in risk of rain and it's called fighting solus wing as a melee survivor

[obsidian tinsel]

is it that difficult? you can just let him burn to death while sitting behind a cooler, no?

[graceful dust]

Do y'all destroy the heating or the cooling vents when the overheat phase happens

[graceful dust]

It's just annoying to get the weak points

[lavish jacinth]

Oh hey wolfo, since you're here, how hard actually is it to change vfx on a skin? Just out of curiosity

[obsidian tinsel]

i havent done it on merc, but it was not difficult on drifter

[graceful dust]

Merc shouldn't be that bad he got iframes

[tender temple]

most of the time heaters

[lavish jacinth]

I remember it took hopoo like an extra 6 months to add an engineer skin because he had to have recolored projectiles

[tender temple]

most of the time i dont have enough movespeed to rely on coolers to not die to the heat

[tender temple]

its not about difficulty its just god damn obnoxious

on any character really cause of how unreasonably tanky he is but melee characters suffer the most cause hitting weakpoints on his face is not exactly easy

i had a run with my friend yesterday where we mogged voidling in 3 seconds and it still took like 6 minutes to kill solus wing

[lavish jacinth]

It also seems like a really awkward space to try to build up speed on loader

Maybe she could slampunch from above though

[tender temple]

solus wing would be such a great boss if it JUST didnt take 5 business days to kill one weakpoint

[graceful dust]

Not to mention solus wing using it's lasers

[tender temple]

the first 2 phases have genuinely nothing going on and it takes like 10 minutes to get through

its crazy that by the time it takes me to beat the first 2 stages i could MAYBE get solus wing to last phase

i consistently get to this boss with a good build and it always feels like im tickling him to death

[graceful dust]

You would need aoe, I mean a lot of it

Networked suffering goated

[tender temple]

finally. a reason to not corrupt polylute!

[graceful dust]

another reason can be you wanna get unstable tesla coil from wandering chef

and turn it into a charged Pref
then sauteed worms

[tender temple]

just bring a royal capacitor bro

[graceful dust]

No man think about my equipment slot!

[tender temple]

the game added a second equipment slot so use it

[graceful dust]

okay yeah fair enough

[tender temple]

you get a guaranteed amalgamator any time you want to go to this boss just get a tricorn

[graceful dust]

what's your opinion on deus ex machina

[tender temple]

its crazy that going here guarantees multiple boss item types as long as you just bring a tricorn

[tender temple]

i like it i guess?

[graceful dust]

It works on anything that damages you

[tender temple]

not the biggest fan of parry mechanics but its easy to do here just that the reward is kind of a nothingburger if i dont have any good procs

yea thanks for guaranteeing a sticky bomb and 1 bleed

[graceful dust]

REX's self damaging abilities, Blood Shrines, Void cradles

[tender temple]

its the potential item like fmp except at least it has a use of blocking damage on top of it

its kind of a direct upgrade of jade elephant i suppose

[graceful dust]

It's true, if you don't got proc items the payoff is just okay

Who uses jade elephant

🥹

[lavish jacinth]

Jade elephant but cool

[graceful dust]

There is one thing about deus ex machina which is annoying

[tender temple]

deus ex machina is a cool equipment if you have either good procs or the second equip slot

wish backup was better tho

[graceful dust]

When you have or , using deus ex machina's cooldown would be wasted because those gets priortized first

when you get hit

[graceful dust]

Backup is like r ally good now wdym

[tender temple]

like yea thanks for fixing strike drones but id really appreciate either longer strike drone duration or lower cooldown

[graceful dust]

Sure the cooldown is long but it shreds

Get like 2 fuel cells

[tender temple]

not a big fan of 100 seconds of an okay equipment

[lavish jacinth]

That's why you give it to an equipment drone

[tender temple]

i dont like the sentiment of a fuel cell being required for an equipment to be good

[graceful dust]

I don't know why back up drones sometimes doesn't spawn anymore

It's operator specifically too

[tender temple]

i just wish we got the drone repair equip from ror1

[lavish jacinth]

Ally limit?

[graceful dust]

How much is the ally limit

[graceful dust]

True....

[lavish jacinth]

20

Technically 19 because it includes the player lmao

[graceful dust]

Maybe?

Does it also count other players

[tender temple]

this is why you mod it out

[lavish jacinth]

Yep

[graceful dust]

Oh no wonder backup just gets voided

That sucks

[lavish jacinth]

For some reason drones are allowed to break the cap, but they'll prevent minions from items from spawning

Engie turrets can also break it but at least that makes sense

[graceful dust]

I mean if it does it would be odd

[trail agate]

why is the cleansing pool infinite use even though i have no lunar items

[glacial knoll]

Bug with Neutronium Weight supposedly, no idea what triggers it

[marble magnet]

What does upgrading drones do specifically?

[fathom bolt]

Hey is the game really unstable for all of yall

Like I’m playing the new dlc with a friend and like the new final boss we keep trying to beat but like

The boss hasn’t been an issue it’s more we crash like every other stage

Is this an internet thing or game thing

[keen wave]

yo if you attack spex once and he locks you out, can you not return to it?

is there any other way to get to the dlc boss? we cannot find the access node anymore

[fathom bolt]

I found one other way

A portal spawned when I did sirens call I can’t tell if that was luck and it’s a random thing or if sirens call actually does just have a portal now

[glacial knoll]

2^ health
2^ damage
-20% cooldown
+50% Drone Specific bonus

[keen wave]

ok thanks

[marble magnet]

That's very good right?

[glacial knoll]

Well yeah

[marble magnet]

I think multiplayer is kinda buggy rn idk

I constantly hear reports about it

[fathom bolt]

Okay that’s like really disappointing what sucks is like we almost beat it but they crashed and I died so we have to restart

[jade pier]

Can someone explain to me the in the bag challenge ?

Like do I need to kill a boss with || the altar ||

[silk nova]

Does captains moves work in the void now ?

[fair robin]

I beat the alloyed "secret" boss but didn't get the second trophy y'all know why

[jade pier]

||what boss ? Because there is a secret boss fight ||

[jade pier]

??

[fair robin]

The heart I mean

[fair robin]

Yes you do

[jade pier]

So I need to do what I said ?

[fair robin]

Yep kill a boss with the altar

[clear whale]

how do i toss things far as drifter

[fair robin]

You cant

Unless you bug the game somehow

[fair robin]

Unfortunately

[patent oasis]

Is getting sunburnt by a ghost grandparent normal?

[brisk wing]

What if the orb boss that you kill disappears, how do you advance to the next level? 😭

[clear whale]

Intended Game Mechanic

[patent oasis]

Cleaner drone moment

[brisk wing]

I got no clue how it happened LMAO

[patent oasis]

ah shucks, thought it wouldnt hurt me!

[brisk wing]

Are we just basically stuck now?

[patent oasis]

Cleaner drone made it disappear

[patent oasis]

Sadly yeah

[brisk wing]

Ah hell na what

Damn

[patent oasis]

Cuz it executes enemies below certain percent of health

INCLUDING bosses

[brisk wing]

So like, can I reverse engineer the cleaner drone so it spits our enemies instead of eating them

I'll just do another run without it 😭

[patent oasis]

Gearbox probably made Solus wing's defeated state and the boss fight state to a single object

They should have made both of those separate and then call defeated state when the boss is defeated

I really want to look at the games code and fix it

[patent oasis]

and make the defeated state INDEPENDENT of the damageable entity types

so that the cleaner drone won't consider the defeated boss as an enemy

i've also seen that the drones shoot at corpses

[ornate river]

Can you ||parry|| the ||negative regeneration from heretics passive|| using ||deus ex machina||?

[patent oasis]

Shouldn't be IF its how i think the code for deus ex machina works

someone has to try it tho

[ornate river]

I would think it wouldn’t work but was curious if anyone tried

[clear whale]

i dont think negative health regen counts as damage

[patent oasis]

They probably check for collisions from outside sources and make them parry-able

so prolly not from within (i.e. bleed, -ve regen, etc)

[ornate river]

Would Rex abilities do it? I think they proc razorwire iirc

[patent oasis]

I am gonna try it in half an hour

[ornate river]

Trying to come up with an “exodia build” where you self proc deus and guarantee lost seers lens proc on everything

I was originally thinking of using hellfire tincture and the new item that ||gives you can extra equipment slot|| but I’m pretty sure it would turn off if you swapped

[primal vector]

Rex can do it naturally

[final lotus]

question, in order to get the stage before the boss in alloyed, with the sentry keys, is that only if you do the data node thing first? and can it spawn multiple times?

[opaque talon]

this may not be a thing but i got a question with the new dlc were the survivors movent abilits changed? i cant seem to use mults shift key unless i stop moving same with railgunner? is it a bug or new thing?

[glass minnow]

does someone know all the recipes for chef yet

asking cuz i got 3 entries left in the logbook

[serene juniper]

guys is tornado slam buns

[patent oasis]

YO

[tender temple]

dude why do solus amalgamator tricorn drops just randomly change their drop trajectory sometimes

this is the second time their item just flings itself into the void while being above ground

[patent oasis]

PARRYING REX'S OWN ABILITIES ACTUALLY WORK

[patent oasis]

Same issues in Treeborn colony too

[tender temple]

what happened to items dropping directly underneath im fairly certain it wasnt just amalgamator too

[amber swan]

rex op?! what?!

[patent oasis]

Can someone try Gesture of the drowned on Deus ex machina?

[patent oasis]

Soulbound catalyst + Deus ex machina + fuel cells on REX would stomp eclipse if used correctly

[amber swan]

dues ex machina and royal capacitator for those royal capacitator procs would go ABSOLUTELY INSANE on rex

[patent oasis]

Finally I can beat eclipse with Rex

[marble magnet]

Is mobile turret ai changed?

[patent oasis]

Seems like it

[marble magnet]

For the better?

[patent oasis]

I'm not sure about that

I only use stationary turrets

Cuz bungus

[marble magnet]

Ah

I used mobile turrets and won once and loved em

[patent oasis]

Yeah they are good too and can actually try not to take damage from enemies

But I prefer stationary for stacking bungus

While my friend uses drifter

[gusty minnow]

What is the new red and how do you get it?

[marble magnet]

3 reds

Luck

[gusty minnow]

My b I forgot i have 2 of them but im missing one that looks like a wifi router as its sillhoutte

[gusty minnow]

Can i not use artifact of command

[primal vector]

Yes, you can if you want to

[lament steppe]

ye

[primal vector]

it is just a normal red like the others

[gusty minnow]

Awesome

Also aren’t there a bunch of new blues or am i tripping

[lament steppe]

the wifi router deals dmg to nearby enemys 👍

[lament steppe]

only 1

[primal vector]

Just one blue but there may be some other new special items

[gusty minnow]

Oh wow i guess i just have alot of blues not discovered

[lament steppe]

the new blue is like a weight

[gusty minnow]

Oh wait

They cant be blues

Is there a new color????

[lament steppe]

no xd

[gusty minnow]

Between purple and blue

[primal vector]

You will come across them if you keep playing

i wouldnt like to spoil those unless you ask for it

[gusty minnow]

I see im missing a blue item which is a kettle but before my blues and after purple there are 5 items

[gusty minnow]

R u sure ill find them

Idk i could be dumb

[primal vector]

If you just keep playing normally, eventually you are going to find them. Its not like you are in a hurry to find them

[gusty minnow]

Ok

Thanks for the help guys

[lament steppe]

is there a way to proc Genesis Loop explosion all the time?

[simple furnace]

What yellow item works the best on stock acrid

[neat vault]

Does warped echoes and repulsive armor plate work the way it seems to?

[outer sierra]

||how do I decrypt the encrypted item||

[primal vector]

|| Tere are several ways, you may combine it with one the yellow pyramid item from canyon, one of the yellow cube items from the souls wing stage or one rusted or encrusted key. Maybe there are more valid combinations ||

[outer sierra]

Ok ty

[untold sparrow]

this dlc is so good

[misty drum]

what does the faulty conductor do? it's not even listed on the wiki

[primal vector]

But you can look the logbook midrun now. It has several effects

[sharp sundial]

how tf does scrap cube work in this game? I swear it sometimes homes in perfectly on what I'm trying to smack it towards (like wisps) and sometimes just rolls over a meter pathetically

[weary obsidian]

As Railgunner, do the Hiker Boots basically just give +20% crit damage due to her passive?

[ancient igloo]

Hello, I never found this in patch notes but before the update, if we played multiplayer with friends and someone died before we completed monsoon run, they would still get the achievement for the character skin, but after finishing our latest run today, only the surviving member of party got the skin achievement. Does anyone know if this changed recently or is it just bugged?

[livid wedge]

Functionally 10% since her crits start at 200%. The boots add a total of 20% per stack so it ends up being 10%

[weary obsidian]

Huh, noted! That would still be higher than crit glasses, right?

[mighty ocean]

yeah, crit glasses only give a 5% dmg increase, boots would give 10%

[gusty minnow]

They changed how the 5th stage works how do i get ti the broken rock stage with the trial code machine?

[livid wedge]

Both stage 5s have an artifact portal

[cinder pasture]

how are people liking the alt kit for drifter?

[neat vault]

The spin feels.. weak and weird. junk cube is fun but "random bullshit go" is amazing for melting early bosses

[fiery knot]

kinda..not fun..

[neat vault]

i havent gotten alt special. whats it do?

[cinder pasture]

im deciding if i like it or not

[fiery knot]

dude i genuinely dont know

its so confusing. and i have the thing

[cinder pasture]

so far it shoots out a wave that turns an item into a temp one AND a scrap of the same color. (scraps give passive boosts) and it stuns the eneies i think

[mighty ocean]

i feel like the base kit is just better
the scrap from the utility is great, secondary is some needed range, and temporary items are temporary items

[fiery knot]

oh so its a scrapper

[cinder pasture]

yeah.yes

with an attack kinda

[neat vault]

So, Its scrapper and a substandard duplicator in the same attack with a stun attatched

It fits the theme but like, meh?

[cinder pasture]

idk i think it could be really good if you are smart with it

[fiery knot]

i prefer gambling

[cinder pasture]

each scrap gives a passive so if you get a useless item it now has a use

other two alt skills i think suck

[mighty ocean]

yeah but you could, yknow, use a scrapper and keep the base special skill

[cinder pasture]

it still stuns and applies a random debuff to an enemy

[mighty ocean]

pretty good
but i still dont think its better than the base, 4 temp items is just insane

[cinder pasture]

idk i just did ALOT of damage with the move

i think it is going to be a playstyle move

kinda mercs special

[uneven bobcat]
