[lavish jacinth]

With enough practice you kinda just get in the habit of constantly moving and avoiding stuff

And being aware of what's around you

[abstract sky]

i guess

[molten pebble]

can scrappers/ printers spawn with artifiact of command?

[abstract sky]

how deos this ring head work? i dont get it. everytime i see his burning range its small meanwhile it burns me across 3/4 of the map

he kills me everytime, i had such a great run in survivability items

[left forge]

Sprint and jump. Enemies have projectiles that need time to travel = easier dodging. Cover is also a thing if you have a wisp but can't hit it for the stun.

[left forge]

Grandparent's massive AoE attack needs line of sight for damage.

[abstract sky]

fjdfjSDOJFJDFlSDJLÄfj

well that explains alot

[left forge]

Same with wandering vagrant low health explosion

[abstract sky]

the boss was 1 hp :( i could have finaly beaten the final boss. handycaping myself whit monsume and artificer because i cheesed the boss whit engineer before

[patent surge]

So what does growth nectar do? I dont understand

[lavish jacinth]

What it says on the tin, you get +4% to all stats for every other buff that you have

[left forge]

multiplicative to your current buffs iirc

[patent surge]

Yeah but what does that mean? Like a needle is 14%?

Or like you just get a 4% dmg buff

Sorry, im not fully understanding it

[lavish jacinth]

"Buffs" meaning positive status effects

[left forge]

increases max health, movement speed, damage, attack speed, crit, regen, and armor

[lavish jacinth]

This also includes cooldown buffs like bands

[left forge]

it does NOT increase proc chance. only does that by technicality (rerolls X stack times for a favorable effect)

[patent surge]

Ohhh okay!! Thank you both alot!! That makes more sense now!!

[vital cobalt]

does the solus wing logbook drop different to any other?
i have 568 and still not seeing a logbook drop

[lavish jacinth]

It does, you find it in the stage like an environment log

It used to get stuck underneath its body when it dies so they changed it, it's in one of the rooms that opens up after it dies

[vital cobalt]

is it guaranteed or is it still by chance like any other monster logbook?

[lavish jacinth]

It's guaranteed

I forget which room it's in though

[vital cobalt]

time to scour the entire map for longer than my run has been going

[lavish jacinth]

It's not THAT hard to find

[vital cobalt]

you would be surprised

it took me forever to find the environment log for the map

[lavish jacinth]

Wiki says it's near the exit of the left room

[vital cobalt]

yeah i would have never found that

now onto my last log book... iron aurous

[vital cobalt]

thanks for guiding me to the log book

[simple coyote]

do elite aspects work when in the not-actively-selected equipment slot if you have multiple equips?

surely not considering card doesn’t work passively

[narrow pine]

sadly not

need to be in the active slot

[simple coyote]

it doesn’t change that I’m gonna do it but it’s annoying to have to swap to use my actual equipment though

ty

[hollow rune]

Why the hell did i just find 6 temporary micro bots on the floor?

[simple coyote]

I don’t believe that should be possible, only way to get a temporary microbot afaik is duplicator and using tinker on a dropped microbots (dropped by spex, which you cannot do 6 times), so I believe it’s mods or some bug. take that screenshot and report the bug wherever you go for that.

or its mods

[narrow pine]

yeah its happened to me its a bug

[simple coyote]

wonder also how coupler works with retool, does coupler add 1 to both tool inventories (4 total)? or add 1 on top of retool, accessed separately (3 total)

[simple coyote]

oh yes that too actually my apologies

can you use the wandering chef to get items from dlcs you have disabled/ do not own? ie, 2 gas -> ignition tank

[simple coyote]

what? what the fuck?

[narrow pine]

thats crazy

i wonder if you boss skipped it

[simple coyote]

the side rooms are closed and the boss music is still playing. can’t even get my matrixes for the chests and loot and stuff

actually pissing me off

[simple coyote]

probably with the shuriken. there’s no way just getting behind the door early instakills him

looking at it frame by frame no he exploded before the shuriken even got close to him

it’s the latter, he must die if you get behind the door 💀

[narrow pine]

i've gotten behind it before and he didnt die, dont remember if it was pre or post patch

weird

im gonna do some testing

could also be a console glitch maybe

[simple coyote]

maybe. video’s too bad to show it but it says version in the corner;
ver. 1.4.1#891

if there’s any bug reporting happening

[quartz panther]

Hmmm. Im pretty sure Ceremonial Dagger is doing nothing with Operator. Drones dont proc them, nor does killing enemies myself. Anyone else experienced this? Is this a operator bug, intended?

[lavish jacinth]

Drones not proccing them is intended, they never inherit your items (unless you mean with his secondary, then it should work).
I know operator did have some jank with certain items not working but I forget if dagger was one of them

[quartz panther]

Ohh.. I see. For some reason I assumed turrets for Operator inherited all his items

[lavish jacinth]

Could try to get to rule out drones stealing your kills

[merry juniper]

I'm just bored and unhappy anyone feel like writing

[ornate gazelle]

Hi, Ive been playing ror2 for quite a while, and I was wondering if anybody can tell me what this missing drone is. Is it one of the new combinations?

[cobalt quiver]

operator's transport drone

[grand ore]

So anyone has this problem? lol
Apparently one of the AC bosses|| Solus Wing|| has 2 logbook entries?

[ornate gazelle]

tysm

[livid wedge]

The other logbook next to it is for ||Solus Heart||

[grand ore]

Yeah is what I forgot lol (4AM here)
However I dont understand why is locked
I have killed it many times

[livid wedge]

It's like with mithrix. They never actually count as "killed" for some weird reason

They will drop a logbook eventually

[grand ore]

I see i see thx

[cobalt quiver]

its broken. it doesnt matter how many times you kill it, it will show as 0 in the logbook (when you unlock it)

[proper plinth]

Alt or base punch which better for loader

[jaunty furnace]

you mean the charged punch?

alt feels pretty awkward because of the knockback

instead of safely piercing through the enemies

charge rate does not matter because you can just do other things while its charging (like gaining speed with m2 for extra damage)

[proper plinth]

Yes the shift one

[mighty jetty]

why my games "versions differs between your local game and the remote game"

[jaunty furnace]

were gonna need more context than that

because i have no idea what that means

are you using a streaming service or something

[mighty jetty]

steam, I never seen this before yesterday

[lavish jacinth]

Are you using steam remote play or something?

[mighty jetty]

no，just local games

[jaunty furnace]

is this a multiplayer thing

[mighty jetty]

yes,I can't join others server beacaus of this

I tried to uninstall ror2 and download it again, but it didn't work

[jaunty furnace]

are you on the same platform

[mighty jetty]

yes

[sharp crown]

whats loaders best loadout ? (people say its charge, some say its the other, rather get ur guys opinions)

[jaunty furnace]

are one of your friends on epic

[mighty jetty]

no,i have tried all public server

[mighty jetty]

i think only charge gauntlet is Irreplaceable

[sharp crown]

ok thx

[mighty jetty]

Maybe I should try to reinstall the system

if it's doesn't work,I can only play alone in the future

[simple coyote]

suppressive fire is the same fire rate as double tap right?

so its just the primary with stun?

[jaunty furnace]

...the system???

[simple coyote]

or is there something else going on there making it any kind of worthwhile

[trim lynx]

no its considerably faster

[mighty jetty]

@jaunty furnace computer's

[jaunty furnace]

it is not worth resetting your whole computer just to play ror2 with randoms 😭

[mighty jetty]

😭

[jaunty furnace]

thats probably the worst way to play

unless youre doing it to grief others

[pure hawk]

iirc it’s a dps down because of the end lag too so pretty much yeah

[simple coyote]

that explains things okay

cause I can’t use grenades past stage 2 for the life of me and I was wondering why suppressive fire was so bad

[trim lynx]

its not a dps down

suppressive fire has a faster firerate

and you can cancel the endlag with m2

6 shots per second with double tap at base attack speed, vs 10 shots per second with suppressive fire

plus suppressive fire scales with attack speed better due to a bug with commando m1

[mighty jetty]

in fact suppressive fire is commando's best control skill,and use m2 to cancel it is useful

When you faced with high pressure environment，you will miss it

[echo rapids]

I dont know if its a collision issue but gups seem to be extra slippery for the drifter because he can grab them but sometimes just bounces off of them.

[lavish jacinth]

Suppressive fire is also 6 shots per second

[trim lynx]

wait am i misinformed

mb

[lavish jacinth]

And the attack speed scaling is basically the same iirc, it just has a higher cap

[mighty jetty]

really?I never test it

[lavish jacinth]

Technically it's the only skill in the game with no AS cap, if you hit the 60 shots/sec limit it just extends the duration. But it takes a ton of syringes to reach that point

[lavish jacinth]

I've tested this lol
I would send a clip of it but I'm not at my pc

[mighty jetty]

i looked the wiki

you're right

[simple coyote]

should clarify phase round also has an endlag (slightly shorter than S.P) (and yeah the buckshot has almost no endlag also)

[livid wedge]

It also scales much better with AS than primary does

[lavish jacinth]

it's slightly less prone to rounding jank (I think) but the shots per second is basically the same as primary until you hit the primary's cap

I remember people testing this pretty extensively back in the day, it's possible something changed due to gearbox spaghetti™ but I doubt it

[quartz lava]

I've been trying out all the survivors I have right now and I think railgunner is my favorite

Also do you have any specific survivor that you think I should unlock and try?

[lavish jacinth]

idk what kind of characters you're into but loader and merc are pretty fun

drifter is cool if you've got AC

[simple coyote]

oh wait, does quick fix buff PSG?

and other max hp up

[gentle ruin]

Anyone have tips for playing drifter? I find her kit a bit clunky to use, more so against flying enemies

Getting stages like Siphoned Forest or Aphelian Sanctuary for the first couple stages feel especially rough for drifter

[lavish jacinth]

I don't think it affects psg directly, although it buffs other items that increase your regular hp, which carries over to shields since they're a % of max health

[lavish jacinth]

flying enemies are definitely her weakness, but you can use her utility to get closer to them and secondary to deal damage, and with reposess you can also use other enemies (or anything really) as projectiles. Getting some early gunner drones also helps a ton

[coarse sinew]

How do soups roll what items to take

Is is just 1/whatever to grab an item and it does it 3 or 5 times depending on the soup

[livid wedge]

First scrap, then random

Green is always 3 white and red is always 5 green

[dusky raven]

And White soup takes one red item and give 3 whites

[simple coyote]

which is why if you don’t have scrap you count your items, see if the odds are with you, how much you could stand to lose.
or. “is this worth it if it takes my best item”

[delicate folio]

Hello, i have a small question just out of curiosity, i was playing the game with my friend (me as drone guy, friend as demoman) and some time during a loop we broke the game and got this: both of our games were running at 3 fps, i want to know what happened. He sent me this screenshot. Maybe you all could figure what this monstrosity is
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1020823725324644422/1452415839142809764/image.png?ex=6949bb28&is=694869a8&hm=11711f5375a444e07446ce427f1d5c20595061e208284de26b0f56c13d87bcbe&

[lavish jacinth]

that's a bug with transport drones on operator

[delicate folio]

Oh

[lavish jacinth]

it happens you use his secondary and have a transport drone try to grab any stationary enemy

[delicate folio]

Thanks!

[quasi crystal]

hello, I haven't played since SOTV, and notice that I'm getting bleed procs in some runs despite not having tritip or shatterspleen.
I assume one of the two new DLCs added something new to procs bleed, and I'm curious as to what it might be, since I'm still learning about all of the new items

[lavish jacinth]

probably noxious thorn, the first stack gives 10% bleed chance

[quasi crystal]

oh, I've definitely come across that, thank you for the answer

I guess it would make sense, so the green isn't useless if you don't have a debuff

[lavish jacinth]

np

[simple coyote]

how does proc priority work on deus ex machina? like does it guaranteeing polylute cause the polylute ticks to get a sticky bomb each, or does sticky apply on the first hit instead or also?

[lavish jacinth]

it just guarantees both the polylute and sticky on the same attack

"proc priority" isn't a thing

[hushed dagger]

is chef better with tri tip or needle tick?

[lavish jacinth]

He can work with either but I think he leans towards tritip

[unborn nacelle]

does clover apply to item proc chances

[lavish jacinth]

that's like, the main thing it applies to

[stable stone]

it procs every item you can possibly proc, and they will have their seperate proc chains i think

[unborn nacelle]

Ok

[lavish jacinth]

only item it doesn't work with is tougher times

[unborn nacelle]

how much does it increase by especially for Tri tip

[lavish jacinth]

each stack is +1 proc roll in your favor

so if something has a 10% chance, with clover it'll have two 10% chances
essentially most proc chances will be slightly less than doubled

[unborn nacelle]

okie dokie arttichoke

[blissful anvil]

Hey y'all, I just got this game for Christmas. Anyone have beginner tips?

[high forum]

the teleporter gives off orangey/red particles as a hint to its location! if you're having trouble finding it, just keep an eye out for those

[lone compass]

Kill everyone

[lavish jacinth]

^ there's also a setting to make them easier to spot, under the umbrella settings thing on the first page

and while you're there I highly recommend the "enable inspect" setting, super helpful when you're new and learning what stuff does

as far as gameplay tips go, the game is pretty easy to figure out for the most part, but one big tip is to full-loot stages and don't rush or stress over the timer too much. Items are how you get stronger and you can't outrun the timer, so the goal is to be efficient rather than just fast

[still dune]

Do yall think I should obliterate or keep going until I die

[halcyon timber]

How do I open the secret door in abyssal depths?

[still dune]

I don’t think you can

[lavish jacinth]

you can't, they're randomly open or closed like the doors on distant roost

[lavish jacinth]

up to you tbh, obliterating does unlock a character if you've never done it before

could always do another loop and obliterate then, or fight a boss or whatever

[stable stone]

it's open or close depends on map variant

[wary vortex]

How do i make it so my brain gets updated from risk of rain 1 info and stars to risk of rain 2 i am still not useet to how manny dimentions risk of rain 2 haves only useet to 2 dimentions not 3 in risk of rain and how do i also survive glass in risk of rain 2?

[abstract sky]

is there a way i can see details about a item during a run whitout having to find a scraper? also how can i exit out of a scraper whitout having to press close, that is gonna end a run one day

[lavish jacinth]

using a mod like lookingglass or the inspect setting ingame would help with item descriptions, and for surviving glass, literally just never get hit tbh. Just try to always be moving and aware of what's around you, learning enemy sound cues helps a lot

as for the 3D thing, you kinda just have to play until you get used to it ig

[lavish jacinth]

under the umbrella settings thing on the first page, turn on "enable inspect"

you can also check from the tab menu iirc (I forget if that's also a setting)

[abstract sky]

ah looks like i overlooked these settings, thats cool

[subtle widget]

Hey was is it so easy to brake the game?

[wary vortex]

Delate a few of the game files probobly wud do that i think

[subtle widget]

I am on xbox

[lavish jacinth]

if you just keep looping and full-clearing stages you're basically guaranteed a god run eventually

depends on how you define "breaking the game" ig

[wary vortex]

I know on risk of rain 1 its get the clock use item then make use item less cooldown and longer use then you can permanently frezze the map but risk of rain 2 i dont know

[subtle widget]

It won't let me show you what I mean

[lavish jacinth]

you need a role to post images and stuff, #roles

[subtle widget]

K

[wary vortex]

I think i have an bad addiction in risk of rain tho if i see glass i take:/ its so hard for me to survive anyway to fix that addiction?

[lavish jacinth]

just uh
stop picking it up

or practice not getting hit, either works

[wary vortex]

Thats why dios frend is my favrite item:/

[lavish jacinth]

well if you want an item that works really well with glass, go for

unless you don't have SotV

[subtle widget]

This what i was saying

It was like that for 2 minutes

[lavish jacinth]

in which case just go all in on speed and damage, kill stuff before it gets a chance to hit you

[lavish jacinth]

oh you meant LITERALLY break it
yeah I have no idea how that happens lol

[wary vortex]

Oh yea thats just an stronger dios frend right?

[subtle widget]

Yeah

Maybe

[lavish jacinth]

no, it's basically a guaranteed with a cooldown instead of a random chance

[wary vortex]

Oh so it isant damage reduction its just doge hit?

[lavish jacinth]

if you're good at avoiding damage then it's pretty much the best defensive item in the game, since any hits you do take are guaranteed to get blocked, assuming it's off cooldown

[lavish jacinth]

yeah, blocking a hit completely prevents it from damaging you

won't apply debuffs or knockback either, the game basically treats it like the hit didn't happen

[subtle widget]

BTW if you see this happening that what broke the game

[lavish jacinth]

Ohh that

Yeah, that's a known bug, it happens if operator uses his secondary with a transport drone and it tries to pick up an immovable enemy

[wary vortex]

How do i find pepole to play some risk of rain 1 with or is this not anywere for it here i only say risk or rain 2 and returned?

[lavish jacinth]

Yeah, you can try the lfg channels but I don't think many people play ror1 anymore

[wary vortex]

If multiplayer wudent have been pain i wud have playd it alot and what chanale shud i ask in then risk of rain return?

[lavish jacinth]

I guess returns, yeah. Or the returns discussion channel maybe, I'm not totally sure tbh

[simple coyote]

does vields class as a full stage still? ie stage 6 sky meadows, rusty lockbox, shipping request drops

[lavish jacinth]

it doesn't count as an extra stage anymore, it does spawn lockboxes and req form pods tho

[simple coyote]

and the new h0st skip also, seems like some survivors can’t do it? I tried on mul-t and it didn’t work, unless i misremember how to do it (hold jump key, right?)

[lavish jacinth]

h0st skip was fixed a while ago

(I think)

unless it's back, I'm way behind on current pillar skip tech lol

[simple coyote]

yea a new one was discovered since sots physics

[lavish jacinth]

yeah idk then, there are probably guides on youtube for it tho

although I do vaguely recall mul-t and artificer having a harder time with it, something to do with their acceleration being lower. But that was the old version

[lone compass]

new one needs headset

only a few characters can do it without it

[simple coyote]

oh okay

mult acrid loader and FS can’t do this one either cause they’re too fat

I swear I’ve used this without headsets but I’ll have to try again. maybe it was the nonlethal fall damage that let me chain it

and you do hold jump I have found out again

[quartz lava]

sorry but whats AC

[lavish jacinth]

Alloyed collective

[pure comet]

air conditioning

[quartz lava]

This is the correct answer

[heavy gorge]

What damage sources are not affected by crit chance?

[lavish jacinth]

generally anything with a proc coeff of 0 can't crit, except captain's beacons and maybe some other minor exceptions i'm forgetting

total damage procs (except charged perf) are unaffected by crit chance but can still inherit crit from the attack that procced them

also iirc frost relic can't crit for some reason despite having a proc of 0.2

wouldn't surprise me if there are more weird exceptions with the sots/ac items but I don't know any off the top of my head

[quick marsh]

Picking up voidscent flame makes it so enemies don't take damage, is this a new bug with alloyed or could it be a mod I have that deprecated?

[lavish jacinth]

Probably a mod

[quick marsh]

Okay thank you

[zinc turtle]

this is like my 5th attempt at taking the offer but he keeps dying. is there a list of items that can accidentally kill him? really need to a way to avoid this https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1434731986957635584/1452526372709990440/Risk_of_Rain_2_-_2025-12-21_9-00-08_PM.mp4?ex=694a2219&is=6948d099&hm=d1e147351cace0e7570e9136f3813e1cea748ccccbb1788d3bc02d53a753f902&

[lavish jacinth]

get a role to embed stuff #roles
but first, are you playing eclipse? Because you can't accept at all in eclipse, he just dies instantly

[zinc turtle]

ohhhhh

why is that a thing lmao

[lavish jacinth]

Accepting ends the run, and eclipse runs require killing mithrix so any other ending is off-limits

[zinc turtle]

bruh

thank you. are there items besides gestures that might inadvertently kill?

[lavish jacinth]

Off the top of my head I know Faraday spur can be risky, but just don't jump near him

Idk if stuff like tesla coil targets him

I've also heard that he's immune to item damage entirely but I haven't confirmed that

[mental slate]

has this one always been the loading guy? idk why but it seems off

[umbral oasis]

do damage incrase itemse like ruby crystal increase damage from debuffs

[analog brook]

Yes :)

[simple coyote]

armor class

[simple coyote]

step of the bros

deus ex also doesn’t guarantee crits if that’s relevant, rolls separately

[simple coyote]

the loading screen has pixel art walking animations of a few enemies, lemurian, child, stone golem, at least, I’m sure there’s more
(gunner turret, commando(?), loader)

[outer skiff]

what's the purpose of highlighting

dlcs and artifacts

[jaunty furnace]

do not listen to 5 minute rule
full loot ftw

[jaunty furnace]

sots replaced the special black and white sprites with random animated ror1 sprites

[jaunty furnace]

multiplayer voting

default = enabled
🔶 = vote to enable
❌ = vote to disable

[outer skiff]

do you guys usually fight mithrix on your monsoon runs or do you just obliterate?

because usually im not confident enough in my build to beat mithrix

[errant ibex]

Well mithrix is the final boss

[outer skiff]

tru

usually i go for the other final bosses if i need the achievement

[errant ibex]

You should probably be fighting mithrix tho

You don't need a god build to beat him

@outer skiff

[outer skiff]

i mean yeah, i just don't really wanna do the pillars, and then suffer for a few minutes despite me knowing it's gonna be easy as hell

[errant ibex]

Learn pillar skips

Every character has one

[outer skiff]

i do skip pillars, usually on command runs

i never really get enough movement to get up

unless i have like 2 faraday spurs

then im definitely gonna try and pillar skip

[errant ibex]

Theres other ways

Look it up on yt

[jaunty furnace]

stacking does nothing to its movement

[errant ibex]

That too

[outer skiff]

doesn't it increase acceleration?

[errant ibex]

No

[outer skiff]

i swear i get to 100% faster with one more faraday

[errant ibex]

Radius and damage of the explosion

[outer skiff]

damn

i don't get head stompers often so i don't usually try that skip

[errant ibex]

https://youtu.be/7yP5hfeTbBg

Nothing but a spur and it can be done

[outer skiff]

i am in a middle of a rex run, i'll try that skip if i get spur

[errant ibex]

You also don't need headstompers

[outer skiff]

[simple coyote]

so what’s up with like boomerang triggering a million merfs if it would’ve already been procced on the first hit

[lavish jacinth]

Because boomerang hits multiple times

Each hit is a separate proc

[simple coyote]

but procchains only roll items that have not yet been rolled in that chain. and if merf was used on the first hit. boomerang shouldn’t be able to use it, right?

[lavish jacinth]

Ohhh, you're thinking of proc masking

[simple coyote]

unless it starts a new chain entirely in which case why does it inherit deus ex

[lavish jacinth]

It doesn't work like that though, proc masking just prevents procs from triggering in a chain that ready included themselves

So like in the case of boomerang proccing merf, the merfs couldn't then proc more boomerangs because the chain started with a boomerang

But each hit from the rang is essentially a new branch of the proc chain, so there's nothing stopping it from proccing whatever it wants (except itself)

[lavish jacinth]

As for deus ex I have no idea lol

I've been meaning to test it but I've been really busy with irl shit

[simple coyote]

fair. enough

[oak rune]

What’s the code for artifact of command?

[lavish jacinth]

artifact codes are all on the wiki btw

[oak rune]

Help the key did not spawn?

I had to reset my best run ever

[lavish jacinth]

the artifact key?

[oak rune]

yeah

[lavish jacinth]

it should just be there

[oak rune]

Only the sphere was there

And nothing else

[lavish jacinth]

are you sure you didn't just miss it?
It doesn't look like the normal key in the command trial, it spawns as a command essence

[wintry fjord]

That's rex for you

[outer skiff]

i heavily dislike rex, gah, have to get through him to get to the fun guys im looking forward to

[alpine ridge]

does this map have a guaranteed legendary chest?

[hoary sedge]

yes, look for the golden trees

you can actually see them in the bottom right of the screenshot

the chest is always near those

[simple coyote]

where can I find out where all the environment logbooks are? I’m trying to fill out my logbook finally but like.
where is vicious’ falls logbook or is it a scanner type thing. wiki.gg has nothing

teach a man to fish n all

[hoary sedge]

only hidden realms/special stages have fixed logbook locations

normal stages all need radio scanners

[simple coyote]

aw man

I don’t wanna have to farm the same stage loop variant until it decides to spawn

[hoary sedge]

yeah it's kinda a pain, command and sacrifice slightly boost your chances by removing the chance of expensive chests and printers eating up credits but it's still rough

[astral blade]

Any idea at all when switch players might get the update?

I've heard "early 2026" since alloyed launched, uhh, checks notes everywhere else... & also got a bugfix update?

[lavish jacinth]

pretty sure "early 2026" is all anyone knows at this point

if they give an official release date it'll most likely be in #announcements

[primal vector]

Q1 2026 to be more precise

[livid wedge]

I don't think we were given something that precise

[primal vector]

It is on the patch notes

[tender temple]

yeah

[astral blade]

It is indeed on the patch notes, but as it covers a span of 3-4 months, it's also effectively meaningless in terms of time expectation

I saw the patch notes before I posted, but q1 2026 is what they've been saying since alloyed released

Hence no reason to mention that it's there in the notes

It seems Nintendo truly gives their employees a holiday break, I suspect the reason it couldn't be released alongside the other versions is not due to gearbox tardiness (as they said the 1.4.1 patch will be included day one switch release) but rather due to Nintendos draconian stability standards & similar red tape

[lavish jacinth]

one of the dev diaries said that the switch version needed some "additional improvements" that weren't ready in time for release, I don't think they ever clarified what exactly that means though

a lot of people have been saying that the switch port needed extra optimization, which is pretty believable lol

[simple coyote]

what exhaustive ways are there to remove lunars/voids

chosen ones, if possible

like cleansing pool, ego (technically), what else?

[heavy gorge]

The Switch is a pretty crappy console as far as hardware goes.

[lavish jacinth]

which is why it's believable that it needed more optimization

[lavish jacinth]

I think that's pretty much it, solus extractors can steal them and you'll lose the item permanently if you leave the stage without killing them, but afaik it's completely random which item they steal

[astral blade]

Sounds like social niceties to keep notoriously litigious Nintendo happy

[high forum]

doesn't really have anything to do with...the law, like...at all lol

i got the impression that it just didn't pass cert, and they're not gonna make the devs work overtime during the holidays, so better to just release it after everyone's back to work like normal

[glacial knoll]

Eh that'd be interesting if they failed Nintendos quality check not their own

Junk Cube had a console optimized clone creature in the files on launch maybe somehow junk cube is at fault

[short heath]

Can i get Alloyed skins without buying the dlc?

[high forum]

nope

[short heath]

B ummer.

[jaunty furnace]

"can i unlock dlc content without the dlc" :^)

[simple coyote]

benthic wouldn’t happen to prioritise scrap would it

[simple coyote]

actually. can you craft dlc items using base game items if you don’t have said dlc. ie, crafting ignition tank with 2 gas

[glacial knoll]

of course not

[hoary vapor]

Kinda new to ROR2. Is there a LFG or a group in Asian territories? Heard the online is kind of finicky

[high forum]

you'll want to check #lfg-pc-ror2 or whatever channel works for the console you're on

[marble magnet]

So when they said "this will be the last update to Alloyed Collective"

Did they actually mean that or will there be more patches

Probably a dumb question

[high forum]

well they haven't put any patches out since then so...

[jaunty furnace]

fuckin hope so

itd be a shame to leave bugs like transport drone crashes in the game for a year

[marble magnet]

Transport drone can crash the game?

[jaunty furnace]

if it picks up a stationary enemy (like void barnacles or scorch worms) it creates a ridiculous amount of particles

[lavish jacinth]

it specifically only happens if you do it with operator's secondary I think

[marble magnet]

Ah

[north night]

Can someone guide items for operator?

[lucid pelican]

does using bead of fealty remove mercenary gaming unlock? my friend is new so we're unlocking him a bunch of characters and we're unsure if that would give him it or not

[noble urchin]

How can i tell that halcyon shrine will have a golden portal?

[lavish jacinth]

I'm pretty sure it will but not 100%
although I wouldn't ever recommend using beads of fealty unless you're trying to get the environment log or artifact code there, or you're on an extremely broken run. Otherwise you risk getting softlocked by kipkip with no real reward

[twin cedar]

I think after a certain stage it always has one

[lavish jacinth]

1. you're already on path of colossus
2. you've been to path of the colossus already on that run
3. you're on a stage where green portals can't spawn (ie. 4 or 5)

but if you're trying to get to gilded coast for the false son unlock, then the best way is to go through the bazaar and use lunar seers

[lucid pelican]

as a man with an engineer who has 19 bungus and we all (3) have nkhuanas i think we win

[lavish jacinth]

you underestimate how bullshit kipkip is

bro can spawn a single monster tooth orb with his secondary, pick it up, and heal his entire healthbar like four times over

legitimately broken boss that the devs have been forgetting to fix for like 5 years lol

granted you only have a 25% chance of getting kipkip but it's a pretty shitty way to lose a run

[lucid pelican]

i havent fought him sicne i played on xbox

[noble urchin]

Alr thx

[dry bridge]

I have never seen verdant falls as a stage 1 ever since alloyed collective released, has this been a problem for anyone else?

[lavish jacinth]

I don't think so, no

[heavy gorge]

You’re just unlucky. I’ve gotten it a lot

[serene flare]

what items do i use to one shot bosses with a bunch of missiles?

[lavish jacinth]

with and other multipliers for good measure

adding more proc items would make it even stronger, but if you only wanna use missiles for whatever reason then that would work

[serene flare]

alright thanks!

[worldly olive]

Now just how much is your n'kuhana bungus gonna do against someone that can heal 80% of his health by picking up a lime skittle

[simple coyote]

does the simulacrum have an environment log?

[worldly olive]

Simu stages do not from what I remember

[simple coyote]

or do you get it in your logbook by beating the simulacrum

[worldly olive]

Do you mean the Planetarium?

That one is just on the stage though I can't remember where

[simple coyote]

I’m missing 10 environment logs in my book, don’t have simu in there, 90% sure it’s one I’m missing cause otherwise I have NO idea what else it could be

unfortunately the wiki doesn’t have the logbook in order so you just have to guess

[worldly olive]

I mean, which ones do you have

Do you have every single hidden realm, every special area (Stuff like Commencement or Solutional Haunt), every single loop alt

[lucid pelican]

i also had like 200 syringes or a crazy number

we didnt end up grabbing beads

[worldly olive]

Oh right I think each Ambry variant also has a unique log

[mental slate]

do i die if claim this? and if i do is there a way to get it without losing the fuel cell? im trying to get rex

[worldly olive]

You probably will

[simple coyote]

afaik, I’m missing:
verdant falls’ loop alt
shattered abodes’ loop alt
treeborn colony’s loop alt
sundered grove (somehow)
repurposed crater
void locus
planetarium
simulacrum
a moment whole
tar pit bulwark ambry

[simple coyote]

you can get a damage reduction item like warped echo to claim it at least

[mental slate]

i see. might just skip it.

[worldly olive]

Aren't you missing Pretenders Precipice?

[simple coyote]

you have command it’s not like you can’t pick wecho

[lavish jacinth]

if there's another equipment on the stage somewhere, you can just drop the fuel array, open the cradle and then go back for it before you leave the stage

[simple coyote]

oh
yeah apparently. thought I got that one
then simulacrum doesn’t have a log

swear I saw a simu diorama

[mental slate]

that would still have fuel cell break right? or am i missing something

[worldly olive]

If you heal fast enough it wont

[mental slate]

oh yea.

[lavish jacinth]

wecho does reduce damage slightly, and you can heal during the tick damage

[simple coyote]

it reduces the damage taken by 10%, which applies to cradles weirdly

[mental slate]

i see. ive never used echos before. its my only unlogged white item

[simple coyote]

never picked it up by chance?

[lavish jacinth]

for a while it was super jank and generally really bad

but it's fixed-ish now and a lot better (but still pretty jank)

[mental slate]

i always run command so just never look at it since theres alot white items i need

[simple coyote]

-# what’s the POINT in command if you DON’T know what items DO

[mental slate]

good question

it just occurred to me that the map i need has a lower chance of spawning since i have all 3 dlcs turned on

guess i can try newt realm at stage 3

[unborn nacelle]

how do you play rex

and what items good for rexy poo

[lavish jacinth]

group up enemies with R, spam m1/m2 for damage and use m1 for healing, utility is good for CC and mobility, and extra damage and healing if you're using the alt

proc items are good on him, healing items are free scrap, as well as anything that loses its effect when you take damage like shields, opal, safer spaces etc.

are also pretty good synergies since he constantly hurts himself and has two built-in debuffs

[unborn nacelle]

ok

[halcyon bane]

is topaz brooch a bad white item

for loader

[lavish jacinth]

it's kinda redundant with her passive

[severe condor]

Someone does know what are the 2 secret badges of ror2 on Xbox?

[scarlet dagger]

Drifter and prestige unlocks

[whole moth]

Asked this once before but know one knew so I’ll try my luck again. Why is Aurelionite on an island with a bunch of children and rich?

[halcyon bane]

what abt with other characters

[lavish jacinth]

it's okay, it helps out here and there but it doesn't scale super well unless you keep stacking it, and there are better things to stack

although it is slightly better after the barrier change ig

[halcyon bane]

do u play a lot

[lavish jacinth]

been busy irl so haven't played a ton of AC, but I have over 1k hours total

[halcyon bane]

wowzers

[abstract sky]

i just somehow charged a artificer electro ball whitout having to hold the button, was that a bug? else it would be usefull to know how it did that

[heavy gorge]

I believe she got banished to there because Mithrix was worried she would rebel due to having soul

[visual anchor]

What is the worst item in risk of rain 2

Do not say Squid. That doesn't count

[lavish jacinth]

squid isn't even close to the worst item

the actual worst is stealthkit though imo

barely ever activates due to being prioritized after elixir and transmitter, and even when it manages to work, the effect is dogshit

I'm more upset about the slander against my beloved squid polyp though, how dare you

[crude flame]

squolyp is so good wdym

consistent activation that’s your choice goes a long way. that’s why items like lepton daisy or old war stealth kit are so terrible because they either activate at a specific time (uncontrollable) or by losing health (very minimally controllable)

[lavish jacinth]

obligatory "bring back old stealthkit"

even when it activated randomly, at least it activated

fr though, polyp is massively underrated

[brave python]

anyone know where I can see the spawn locations for the Access Node in Rallypoint Delta? The wiki says that its guaranteed on stage 3 besides on Treeborn Colony but I have ran around now for like 15 minutes trying to find it

[lavish jacinth]

have you already been to solus wing on that run?

[brave python]

yeah but I didnt know I had to have a key to progress so I went back

Im pressuming thats why I cant find it...

[lavish jacinth]

yep, you only get it once per run. The only way to get another portal is to kill either alloy worship unit or false son

[brave python]

why false son? does he reverse the limitations or?

[lavish jacinth]

also protip, you can also use prison matrixes and a few other things to decrypt the cerebellum, and you can always get a prison matrix after fighting solus wing

[lavish jacinth]

nah, a portal spawns after killing him if you wait around a bit

[brave python]

the green one that just loops?

[lavish jacinth]

no, the encrypted portal that takes you to the AC areas

[brave python]

ohhhh didnt know he gave that

ill give that a try thanks

[lavish jacinth]

yea, for whatever reason it doesn't spawn right away, you have to wait a little while iirc

[whole moth]

Does not answer my question

[brave python]

is there anyway to reset green portals after killing false son once?

[stable stone]

you can do green portal path as many times as you want as long as you didnt go to prime meridian

[brave python]

thats what I did but then did the trial of metamorphis and figured I could get back in to prime meridian with another survivor

[simple coyote]

eclipse just ruins these items too sadly.
half the squolyp time and moving the goalpost of that 25% max hp

that’s why watches are so good e8

low-health triggers just don’t really happen

[simple coyote]

always a fan of double prison matrix for vault and decrypting. only time I have to think about it is melee survivors (with their armor that actually works with it) and then I put a sentry key in

[slender patio]

Ok I wanna ask smth

I’ve been trying to do the Rex dunked achievement to get all his alt unlocks completed

The thing is I can never get a clay dunestrider to spawn on aqueduct.

Is it cause I’m going too fast and the scaling (around 5 mins, so easy to medium difficulty) doesn’t allow dunestriders to spawn as a boss yet

Or am I just that unlucky GRAHH

[hoary sedge]

yeah thats really fast, id aim for more around the 10-15 minute mark so the tp actually has enough credits to spawn one

[slender patio]

Ohhhh

Oh ok

[hoary sedge]

since they are fairly more expensive than titan and beetle queen

[slender patio]

I thought I was going crazy or sum HAHA

Ok that explains why TvT

But generally, what difficulty scaling would work out for that exactly?

I’m gonna go monsoon now cause of that

But w/ monsoon, I’d have to wait for hard difficulty?

Also theoretically, would artifact of prestige also help w/ the credits?

[hoary sedge]

i dont remember the exact thresholds but like i said ~10 minutes should be fine. prestige is probably overkill

[slender patio]

Aight

Also, another thing I want to ask, as a supplement

Is speed, like damage, multiplicative with different speed items?

Or is it additive instead

And does this apply to other stats too?

[hoary sedge]

speed is basically always additive yeah

[simple coyote]

get tp spawn dunstriders and lure them next to the hole

[hoary sedge]

damage is basically the only thing that has consistent multipliers for it iirc

[simple coyote]

if fail reload (or a careful command loop)

[simple coyote]

-# only benchmark for scaling I got is ~16 minutes monsoon/eclipse is double boss o’ clock

[slender patio]

Ik how to do it dw TvT

But thx anyways

[simple coyote]

then why you struggin

it’d take like 3-4 tries tops with rng

[slender patio]

U should read, maybe

I alr explained and solved my problem here lol

[slender patio]

I KEEP GETTING FREAKING BEETLE QUEENS

ARGHHHMWOF

I’m gonna cry bro 😭

[lavish jacinth]

Clay dunestrider costs the same amount of credits as a beetle queen or stone titan, so scaling shouldn't make a difference here

So yeah you're just unlucky

[slender patio]

aw man TvT

[simple coyote]

is it better to run 2 of the same drone on operator just so you can upgrade one?

does drone tier even affect admin override at all?

also what’s the critical ignite damage on cmd swarm?

[jaunty furnace]

you cant combine operator drones with operator drones

but you can upgrade them with regular drones

[lavish jacinth]

50% total damage I think, that's how ignite on hit normally works

that seemed to be the case when I used it but I'm never 100% confident with the new content because gearbox likes to do weird stuff sometimes lol

[lavish quail]

currently going to loop, should I keep the gabbo Jr I have or switch to the radar I found

[scarlet dagger]

If ur looping you should be pretty powerful, so I would say that you should take the radar

[lavish quail]

noted,thanks

[lavish jacinth]

if you have then you could give goobo to an equipment drone if there's one around, if not you can give radar to a drone
either way, goobo generally sucks and radar is kinda eh so I'd look for something better

[lavish quail]

I see,thanks aswell

[slender patio]

Ok I did it

And it didn’t count???

Hello??

In fact, I did it twice

I just didn’t mention the first time, but I did it a second time and it didn’t count it also

[lavish jacinth]

did something else hit the boss last second and steal the kill?

[slender patio]

Nope

[lavish jacinth]

well that sucks

[slender patio]

It was a clean drop in the pit

Yeah.

Bruh, what do I even do atp

[lavish jacinth]

uhhh

[slender patio]

There’s a bug report thingy, right?

[lavish jacinth]

https://thunderstore.io/package/prodzpod/RealerCheatUnlocks/

[slender patio]

Mmmm

Yknow what, sure why not TvT

[lavish jacinth]

might as well, you did the achievement

[slender patio]

Mhm

[lavish jacinth]

and it's not like there's anything to prove with that one, it's one of the dumbest unlocks in the game lol

[slender patio]

I also need the portrait of the steam achievement for a video I’m making that includes that exact bug the first time lol

Yeah

[lavish jacinth]

you'll need a role to post images jsyk, #roles

[slender patio]

It’s a yt link

[lavish jacinth]

still won't embed without a role

[slender patio]

Yeah, I wasn’t planning to post it here anyways

If ud like to see it, I can share it in dms lol

[lavish jacinth]

I mean, we do have bug report channels #1440408911604879511 #ror2-bug-reports-pc
Could also post it here first if you wanna make sure it's actually a bug and not some other weird thing

[slender patio]

Wait, I actually don’t know how to download mods on ror2 lol

Ok there’s a mods folder in here

[lavish jacinth]

you'll need the mod manager https://thunderstore.io/package/ebkr/r2modman/ install that and then just it "install with mod manager" on the mods you want, r2modman will do the rest

[slender patio]

But I just have an enable mods thingy

[lavish jacinth]

don't bother with manual installs

[slender patio]

Aight, lemme try

[slender patio]

Manual download on this one?

[lavish jacinth]

yea

[slender patio]

Ok it’s downloading rn

Do I have to plug the thingy into the mods folder once it’s downloaded?

[verbal chasm]

why do some enemies have antlers

[jaunty furnace]

its an app
you just open the app

[lavish jacinth]

antlers the item? also in what context

[slender patio]

Ohh

[jaunty furnace]

no file explorer needed

[slender patio]

Icic

[verbal chasm]

like beetles and the fire lizard guys gain antlers and become greener

[jaunty furnace]

unless you need to change game locations

[lavish jacinth]

oh, they're mending elites

[verbal chasm]

oh

[slender patio]

Ok it worked 👍

Accidentally relooked and unlocked tougher times tho lol

Thx for all the help man.

[lavish jacinth]

np

[slender patio]

Ok I wanna ask smth extra

I was just reading through the wiki, but I had to make sure

Disperse and bramble volley have the same amount of knockback?

[lavish jacinth]

yep

[slender patio]

Icic

I think I watched a video on Rex and thought bramble volley had a stronger knockback

Also imma be honest, I kinda do like Rex

I think he’s cool ngl lol

[lavish jacinth]

he's a very "love it or hate it" type character, although most people do hate him lol

[slender patio]

I get that

But honestly, I find the balance of using his skills to be pretty intuitive for me

Basically, using ur m1 to fuel ur m2 spam

And it works from long ranges, which I find really cool

And when u get a good root trap fueling u consistent healing, u can just absolutely unleash carnage

Esp with smth like gasoline or wisp

Also I find his movement ability intuitive too

But maybe that’s just cause of my origins as a Phighting Scythe main with her similar shotgun knockback tech lol

But that’s just that lol

[lavish jacinth]

the sound of his primary makes my brain itch, lol

I wish there were more items that actually synergized with the playstyle of constantly taking damage

there are a ton of "don't get hit" items that don't really work with rex at all

[verbal chasm]

i picked up an item that made me a turtle (high hp low speed) and i died cuz of it

[lavish jacinth]

yeah, taking stone flux is rarely a good idea

[serene flare]

what goes well with

[tribal ermine]

basically jsut started the game, made it to final boss with bandit and died to the mobs in phase 2, what survivors are good and should i stick by myself for now or play with others

[serene flare]

all are good, it depends on items

[verbal chasm]

I DIDNT KNOW WHAT IT WAS OK

i never saw it before :(

[lavish jacinth]

anything, behemoth is basically a straight damage increase

[lavish jacinth]

bandit is a strong pick when you're just starting out (assuming you don't have any dlc), but try out survivors and find which one you like or feel most confident with

and I'd recommend getting some experience with the game before you hop into multiplayer, especially if you plan on playing with randos

[tribal ermine]

okay ty

if i buy a dlc do i unlock the characters automatically?

[lavish jacinth]

they all have one character unlocked by default, and one or two that you unlock

[tribal ermine]

if i were to get one which one should i get and what character would it give me

[lavish jacinth]

I recommend Survivors of the Void first, it mostly focuses on expanding base-game content rather than adding side stuff, and a lot of the new mechanics and items it adds are pretty useful.
The survivors are Railgunner and Void Fiend

[tribal ermine]

okay ty

[jaunty furnace]

• just try out all the survivors
• i wouldnt recommend playing with random players, but grabbing a friend could be fun. solo is perfectly fine though
• i, too, recommend getting survivors of the void first

[tribal ermine]

thanks

[verbal chasm]

why does the magma worm become a normal enemy after it was a boss

[safe phoenix]

whats the new dlc secret realm about?

[grizzled grove]

what are the best tiems for seeker? i still dont really understand what i should be getting

[jaunty furnace]

that aint unique to magma worm

[verbal chasm]

oh oki

also technacly a game question:
am i the only one who likes the models (in the diary thing cuz i cant see them ingame or i die :( )

[livid wedge]

They're neat

The logbook in general is cool

[unborn nacelle]

can power elixir prevent me from losing my watch at 25% hp

[livid wedge]

Yes

[unborn nacelle]

ok

[lavish jacinth]

seeker is so broken that pretty much anything works on her tbh

when in doubt, go for total damage procs and damage multipliers

are also really good for abusing sojourn

[serene flare]

what items are good for

[lavish jacinth]

speed and mobility items are really important if you're running flamethrower, less so with ion surge but still useful

She's got a solid band proc with her m2 so crowbars and bands are nice to get, and ignition tank is obviously great with her fire skills. Cooldown reduction is also pretty nice since she's very cooldown-heavy, but you may not wanna go straight for purity since she does fairly well with procs too

[lavish jacinth]

and as always

[grizzled grove]

What are total damage procs

And what are the specific items I need to make the r skill stronger

[lavish jacinth]

anything that says "X% total damage" in its description, the vast majority of proc items do. Total damage means it scales off of the damage of the hit that procced it

[lavish jacinth]

the only thing that really benefits her special specifically would be but almost anything that works with her other skills will also help her special

[grizzled grove]

But is there something that increases the radius or?

[lavish jacinth]

it increases its own radius with tranquility stacks but there isn't an item that does it

but like, if you want a huge explosion then just use sojourn

[grizzled grove]

alright

[untold sparrow]

hey guys, how use drifter cube

ping pong or no ping pong

[wicked fiber]

why do people say loader is super good even though i have to kill flying enemies 1 at a time and have to get super close to anything to actually deall damage to it

[jaunty furnace]

default special takes care of that

and loader's damage mainly comes from the shift, swinging around to gain speed then oneshotting an enemy and flying through back to safety

[idle surge]

why doesnt 7 tougher times just make you invincible if its a 15% chance with each stack?

[jaunty furnace]

its hyperbolic

you gain less and less from each stack

[idle surge]

ah

[untold sparrow]

how use cube effectrialvy

[lavish jacinth]

smack it at enemies

[wicked fiber]

bandit does more dps though if you stand behind the bosses

[lavish jacinth]

loader's charged punch does more damage the faster she's moving

[jaunty furnace]

completely different playstyle + irrelevant

[lavish jacinth]

dps also only matters as much as the enemy's ability to survive it

and generally, enemies don't survive a charged punch if you're moving fast enough

[wicked fiber]

how much damage can a fully charged punch deal at around stage 4 with good items?

[lavish jacinth]

there's no upper limit, it just depends on how fast you're able to go

but assuming you're at least decent with her movement and have good burst damage items, approximately a lot

[wicked fiber]

roughly how much

[wicked fiber]

is that a dlc boss?

[jaunty furnace]

yes

[wicked fiber]

do you get more damage in dlcs from item??

[lavish jacinth]

really hard to give an exact number but for someone with average skill you could pretty easily hit 4-5,000% damage from the punch itself, and then that gets multiplied by stuff like bands, crowbar, focus crystal etc. If you're really good then the punch can get over 10,000%

[jaunty furnace]

still strong without

but yes dlcs inevitably make you more powerful

[lavish jacinth]

having dlcs doesn't magically make your items do more damage though, if that's what you're implying lol

[lavish jacinth]

and all of the relevant damage items here are basegame anyway

[idle surge]

runic lens shrimp

and lute

[lavish jacinth]

what about them

[idle surge]

thats the power of dlcs

[lavish jacinth]

I mean yeah, the dlcs have good damage items in them

but they don't have any of those in that clip

and aren't doing anything there

[idle surge]

I got sotv and sots like 3 days ago theyre awesome

[candid lagoon]

sorry if this sounds stupid, but how do i reject the offering of the collective?

[tribal ermine]

is that damage just with base punch speed?

or what did you do to propel faster

[lavish jacinth]

just shoot him

[candid lagoon]

the secret boss?

[lavish jacinth]

yeah, solus heart

[candid lagoon]

ohh ok

ty

[quartz lava]

Hey, I have SOTV and SOTS and was wondering if I should turn them on or leave them off so I don't get overwhelmed.

[woven goblet]

https://medal.tv/games/ror-2/clips/lLERd3Vjb2nRvdKGR?invite=cr-MSwzYnYsMjU4NjkzNzM3&v=12 why does the clay dunestrider do this is it a modded thing idfk why would it do that it fucked me over a second time

[primal vector]

It is not a bad idea for your first runs. the base game can offer hundreds of times

[glacial knoll]

unstable transmitter

[lavish jacinth]

your friend had unstable transmitter and teleported it over to you

[woven goblet]

wdym teleported it over to me, since when unstable transmitter does that

OOHHH

😭

blaming this guy forever

[jaunty furnace]

quail ig?

not sure how much speed even helps

[tribal ermine]

does speed not increase damage on loader?

[jaunty furnace]

it does

[tribal ermine]

well thats why i asked

because that damage seemed huge

im pretty new though so there might be smth obvious im missing

[jaunty furnace]

speed was probably like 5% of that damage lol

the items were the reason the damage was insane

[lavish jacinth]

It's based on your actual velocity, not just your speed stat

So quail can help quite a bit if you time the punch right

[tribal ermine]

what is quail

[lavish jacinth]

jumping while sprinting boosts you forward

[tribal ermine]

ah ok ty

[tribal ermine]

how do i unlock it? or is it unlocked automatically

like unlock the ability to get it in a run

[lavish jacinth]

https://riskofrain2.wiki.gg/wiki/Going_Fast_Recommended

[tribal ermine]

okay ty

[quartz lava]

Sorry to ask this but what is the optimal way to deal the most damage with loaders utility?

[lavish jacinth]

build as much speed as possible using grapple, and then multiply it with stuff like crowbar, bands, focus crystal etc.

you constantly accelerate in the direction you're holding while grappling, but the direction you're moving does matter, so ideally you wanna go for a big swing that aims you towards the target

[simple coyote]

does going bazaar take you off of sots path

[lavish jacinth]

I think you can still use the geodes for a green portal though

[lavish jacinth]

also protip, you don't need to let go of grapple even after a punch, so if you're lined up right you can stay grappled and swing back around for another punch

[simple coyote]

where can I find like. the detailed numbers on the admin overrides. for example the gunner drone says “fire repeatedly for 85%” but like. how many. proc coe?
(and not just gunner drone, it’s example. teach a man to fish)

or is it too early in the dlc but like it’s really gotta be somewhere

[quartz lava]

I am really liking artificer

[tacit saffron]

What kind of playstyle is Railgunner? (just wanted to know because when i get the dlcs i want to know if she's worth trying out)

[serene flare]

one shot everything

[tacit saffron]

sounds like my kinda character 😈

[simple coyote]

if you have any experience with FPS games instead you’ll be fine. she is mainly burst damage on one enemy though

[tacit saffron]

does she do any piercing?

[serene flare]

yeah

[tacit saffron]

oh that's perfect then

[simple coyote]

default primary has piercing (not too bad to line up either but doesn’t happen all the time) and the special (giga shot even BIGGER than the primary) has a really fat hitbox so it just removes a tight cone of enemy in front of you

that’s about it though. she doesn’t have too much unless you’re comfortable with the special

(that said, I know this applies to cryocharge, but I’m actually not 100% sure about supercharge)

[tacit saffron]

👍

[jaunty furnace]

bullet count scales with atk speed, as the description states

[jaunty furnace]

why wouldnt you try a survivor out atleast once 🐱

especially if you paid for it

[tacit saffron]

i don't have the dlc yet -_-

saving up currently

for the all 3 dlc bundle since it's on sale

[simple coyote]

but how many is the base fire rate

[jaunty furnace]

i know but i mean generally, why not give everyone a chance to see if you like them

[simple coyote]

it’s a deciding factor on whether he buys the dlc at all vro

[tacit saffron]

i just wanted to know the playstyle man -_-

[simple coyote]

it shouldn’t be but it is

[tacit saffron]

actually no i still want it regardless

[jaunty furnace]

counting the sounds in my head it feels like 8

lol

[simple coyote]

we’ve been lied to by sounds with suppressive fire I can’t trust it unfortunately

[lavish jacinth]

easy to test if you've got debugtoolkit

[simple coyote]

and I do not

[jaunty furnace]

could also just. look at how many damage numbers appear

[simple coyote]

ok fair enough

[jaunty furnace]

quickscopin'

[simple coyote]

but I also want the numbers on every admin override. and coe’s which I can’t really test by eye

[tacit saffron]

i figured that out already

[jaunty furnace]

and hittin weakpoints

[tacit saffron]

other guys told me 5 minutes ago

[jaunty furnace]

https://gif.fxtwitter.com/tweet_video/GyhpWkBW8AAP99u.gif

[lavish jacinth]

6 shots

and every drone attack seems to be a 1.0 proc coeff

[left forge]

Also note that the crit chance to crit damage conversion is DOG SHIT. Immediately scrap any or any other crit chance items in favor of other items

[tacit saffron]

good to know

[simple coyote]

6x85 at 1.0 sounds very good

[left forge]

Speaking of crit, laser scope is not double crit dmg, it's just 50% extra crit dmg

It adds 100% to the base 200% crit damage

So it's pretty much not worth it most of the time

[lavish jacinth]

no they're right, scope is pretty mid unless you already have decently high crit

[left forge]

Or are railgunner

[lavish jacinth]

or bandit

[left forge]

Insert character/build that has good crit chance

[lavish jacinth]

but most of the time it's just a shittier behemoth, the only case where scope is really good is with crowbar/bands, since behemoth doesn't really work with them but crit does

[left forge]

Huntress flurry needs crit chance but has no innate crit chance buffs

[simple coyote]

the rest of the admin override mostly has the numbers there (unless it’s just overtly wrong, which happens sometimes)
gunner: 6x85 (assuming strike drone is the same)
missile drone with an unknown amount of missiles
tc-280 again unspecified
droneboy with an unknown amount of bombs too

[cobalt quiver]

can you use prison matrix in printers?

[simple coyote]

then like nothing has a higher crit chance right?

[simple coyote]

yes all the miscellaneous yellow items can be printed (haven’t seen for prison matrix but I don’t see why it shouldn’t)

[left forge]

Guaranteed crit from rg, bandit backstab

If god blesses you with crit chance items

[simple coyote]

hoots brrr

[cobalt quiver]

thats kinda fucked balance wise

[simple coyote]

I know you can print pearls and auri into boss items

[mellow crystal]

pretty sure sentry keys can't be printed

[wintry fjord]

In my logbook it says my most killed enemy is ????

Any clue what that'd be

[lapis abyss]

Hows the dlc? Is the dlc good?

[lavish jacinth]

very good

[lapis abyss]

Alright, will be buying it ig. Thank youu for answering my inquiry

[lavish jacinth]

missile drone is 6 missiles
droneboy drops 8 bombs
no clue with tc-280, enough that it's really annoying to count

[simple coyote]

fair enough

thank you

[lavish jacinth]

testing operator is really annoying in general lol

also while I'm at it I'm trying to figure out how deus ex works

and this item confuses the hell out of me lmao

update

(It was stuck on this frame for like 5 minutes)

I thought deus ex would basically just give infinite luck for the next attack or whatever, but instead it's like the entire proc chain inherits the guaranteed proc effect, which gets really out of hand when you combine it with AoE procs

[kindred wadi]

is there a way to get starstorm 2 characters seperately from the modpack? I know i can turn off the expansion but i keep getting a bug on stage 5 where enemies stop taking dmg, and my attacks are duplicaed forever lagging my pc

[lavish jacinth]

probably not, but #ror2-modding might know

[ionic river]

nvm my friend had bottled chaos and it activated seed of life

[lavish jacinth]

was just about to ask about that lol

[simple coyote]

this mainly only happens with boomerang

[simple coyote]

it’s neat that it can do that

actually

[echo rapids]

is the drifter firewall + the primary special to fling enemies into the air a good build because honestly it feels good for single target and thats it

[worldly olive]

... The Drifter firewall?

Do you mean Operator default special and alt utility

[echo rapids]

yes, my bad

[inland shore]

im in bulwarks ambry rn and they keys will not spawn and the reliquary keeps regenning.. am i bugged or just super unlucky?

[limpid zenith]

where is the dumbest place a teleporter spawn in ur run?

[simple coyote]

does spare drone parts buff admin override? like adding chaingun to my m2, or do only loose drones benefit from the chaingun

[simple coyote]

once had it inside a rallypoint crate

honorable mention to siphoned forest having a teleporter spawn that’s got bad enough geometry it can’t spawn bosses, forcing horde of many

[livid wedge]

It does not

[languid badger]

why did the developers make it so you cant change the value for cheats in the developer console from 0 to 1 without mods

[lavish jacinth]

It doesn't really matter, the game doesn't have any built-in cheats anyway

[languid badger]

??? half the commands are locked behind "cheats"

give item, spawn creature, even remotely activating the teleporter

[lavish jacinth]

Oh I'm dumb

[languid badger]

it would make the game a lot more enjoyable and open up a lot more opportunities if you could actually, y'know, use the built-in cheats system

for example.. experimenting with builds, fighting creatures, trolling your friends

the main fun of the game is to do things like that, so why not make it easier

[lavish jacinth]

probably too much potential for abuse in multiplayer or something

just go into someone's game and spawn a million enemies to crash the game or whatever

[languid badger]

Ban it in multi-player, easy fix

[languid badger]

there are commands that can only be sent by the host

make it, and the other "cheat" commands, one of those

[lavish jacinth]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

I doubt the devs have ever given a specific reason why

[languid badger]

thats why im here, for answers, and maybe a fix for this, in my opinion, very stupid game design

why bother including a command panel if you cant use it for like anything

since im p sure it raises a null reference when you try to execute "cheats 1" i think it might be a bug? hopefully it is

[lavish jacinth]

ngl I didn't know the dev console was accessible at all on console

[languid badger]

yeah that's actually partially why im here. me and a friend found out about it, tried to play around with it, realized the bug, and we both thought it was pretty dumb, so i figured it'd be a good idea to ask why and maybe get it fixed here

[lavish jacinth]

also ngl I'm not even sure how many useful cheat commands actually exist in the game, I think debugtoolkit itself adds quite a few

[languid badger]

many are vanilla, but yeah, the notable few are spawning things and giving items

[lavish jacinth]

I mean, the page for debugtoolkit specifically says that it adds a bunch of commands, and then has a separate section for unlocked vanilla commands

https://thunderstore.io/package/IHarbHD/DebugToolkit/

would have to get a modder to confirm or deny that though

[languid badger]

as someone who tried to use the console on console
a lot of the things they "added" are vanilla

for example, the give item stuff

[indigo spoke]

does diablo strike work on solus wing? is there a way to consistently do it?

[languid badger]

also why are you even talking about debugtoolkit im saying that they should fix this so you dont have to use a external thing to access vanilla content

this is like saying "oh you cant get that item without downloading that mod" like whyd you bother to include a broken feature and then tell me to fix it myself??

[lavish jacinth]

my point was more that the devs might've never even implemented the cheats themselves, so there was nothing to "enable" on consoles because they didn't exist.
But that's something I wasn't sure about lol

[languid badger]

yeah i get it
still, even if it was on computer and not console, why would they make you download a mod instead of just. Fixing the issue

[lavish jacinth]

for whatever reason they decided not to make that a feature in the game, idk what else to tell you

we have feedback channels if you wanna ask for it there

#ror2-feedback-and-ideas

[languid badger]

ok

[lavish jacinth]

pretty sure it does work yeah

[manic vessel]

Is the bandit guy good?

[lavish jacinth]

yeah, all the survivors are good

[languid badger]

there i sent the message

[winter rain]

how does prayer beads interact with longstanding solitude?

[daring violet]

Does clover impact the chances of getting a stage log or just a monster log?

[patent plinth]

from what i've seen and how their effects are described, yes they interact.

[lavish jacinth]

Just monster logs

[fresh hamlet]

I'm on a merc run stage 3, got 1 gas, have uke, and there's a plute on the ground. I also have recycler so I could reroll

[winter rain]

Where is the conduit canyon environment log?

[high forum]

isn't it a random spawn?

[livid wedge]

It is

[wanton cairn]

Are the devs gonna add new skins to the seekers of the storm survivors?

[signal path]

total beginner here. Ive been trying to full loot stages efficiently as thats what I read online (and roughly following the 1 item per minute thing as a guideline) however on stage 4-5 (especially 5) it feels like it takes extremely long to loot but ive read those 2 stages have the best loot? Is it worth it to full loot those stages

[worldly olive]

Always full loot

Its better to inefficiently full loot and or at least try to full loot than care about time

[signal path]

alright thank you :)
and if you play it, any tips for mithrix when you're using bandit or when using artificer?

those are the 2 ive been running

[worldly olive]

No matter which loadout bandit has 2 ways to stay in the air

Which is nice since Mithrix kinda just, can't really hit you if you're in the air barring Big Spinny

A similar thing goes for arti and it requires either more or significantly less thinking than bandit depending on which special you use

(The alt special is typically better than flamethrower as a rule of thumb but if you like flamethrower that's fine.)

Arti can also freeze Mithrix since despite normal bosses being able to be frozen Mithrix is an exception

Why he can be frozen but the lunar chimera wisps can't, don't ask why

[signal path]

the feathers and the utility?

[signal path]

got it

[signal path]

i mean i aint complanin

[worldly olive]

He doesn't start with a hopoo feather no, but his secondary can let him stay in the air for a bit

[signal path]

oh i thought you were talking overall

got it

thanks a lot :)

[naive compass]

do you guys think operator stacks better with DOT like mul-t dual nailgun or burst damage with the suicide drone

[jaunty furnace]

he is pretty versatile

he can be a fast proc character and he can be a band character

[west monolith]

Is there a Website where i can make builds for characters

[lavish jacinth]

No

Ror2 builds aren't really complex or character-specific enough for it to be necessary

[west monolith]

Someone should create one

[west monolith]

I just want to see the stats tbh

[jaunty furnace]

stats of what

[lavish jacinth]

The optimal way to make builds in ror2 is literally just "add more stuff"

Items are usually multiplicative of each other, so the more variety you have, the better

Having the exact stats just isn't important enough to make a whole website for it

[lavish jacinth]

If it helps though, you can get the lookingglass mod to have more precise stats in-game at least, if you're on pc

[molten pebble]

is it even necessary to make a build when every item is practically good on everyone except for some items like bungus only usable on 1 guy

[lavish jacinth]

No, not really lol

Most items will range from good to great depending on your character

[tribal ermine]

does more than one band stack?

[signal path]

can you use the dlc characters without enabling the expansion?

[lavish jacinth]

Yeah, everything stacks

Except quest items

[lavish jacinth]

Oh just fyi, there's currently a bug where if you use railgunner or drifter without their dlcs enabled, their passives won't work (which is arguably a good thing for railgunner lol)

[signal path]

How has this not been fixed 😭

Didnt even know updates still come out for this game

[lavish jacinth]

Yeah, there was an entire dlc like a month ago lol

[lyric silo]

is it a good thing for rg?

[lavish jacinth]

Her passive sucks

[lyric silo]

i value slightly more dmg on crits than chance to crit on normal hits

[lavish jacinth]

The crit damage conversion has a 2:1 ratio, you only get a 5% damage bonus from a stack of lensmakers

[lyric silo]

yeah ik

still better than not having it game design wise

and damage wise on decent rg players

[polar hemlock]

This is untrue

I beated voildling with my friend

I didn't get voidfiend lol

[lavish jacinth]

They were asking if you can use the characters, not if you can unlock them

You need to own the dlc, but you can disable the dlc content and still play as dlc characters

[polar hemlock]

Eh I see (I didn't understand the context)

[signal path]

are the servers laggy rn or smth
my friends and I are lagging a lot and our internets are working fine

[livid wedge]

The game doesn't use servers. It's peer to peer

[signal path]

Ah okay

[blissful night]

do operators drones inherit all his items?

[livid wedge]

No

When using admin override, their attack will trigger items but they do not inherit anything

[jaunty furnace]

passively no, but the right click abilities can

[spark cloak]

I need some tips on getting new characters I have the first 6 and have no friends to play with to help me

[jaunty furnace]

hover over locked ones to see what you need to do

[spark cloak]

And nobody plays multiplayer with randoms in this gamwe

[jaunty furnace]

because its not really a good idea

unless you met up intentionally on discord or something

[spark cloak]

Exactly

[jaunty furnace]

playing with absolute randoms in random lobbies may just lead to griefing or a bad experience where you learn nothing

you dont really need multiplayer though

most people play solo

[spark cloak]

Im just going to try acrid since I have engineer

[sullen basin]

helloooo new player here, what's the diff between blight and poison for acrid?

[lavish jacinth]

poison can't stack, but it always does a minimum 1% of the enemy's max hp per second.
Blight only does base damage but is stackable

Generally poison is a lot better

[simple coyote]

does the tar research bulwark’s ambry exist? it’s not showing up for the life of me I’m on like my 10th try

[livid wedge]

It does

[simple coyote]

does it need a special condition to appear or what

[livid wedge]

No

Just unlucky

[signal path]

how do I use seekers revive with the alternate special?

[livid wedge]

There isn't one

@lavish jacinth burn isn't dependent on proc coef, right?

[sullen basin]

what are some good cursed items for acrid?

[lavish jacinth]

I think so, but I can check rq

[livid wedge]

Please and thank you

[lavish jacinth]

You mean lunars?

[sullen basin]

oh yeah those

[lavish jacinth]

seems like it actually doesn't, I'm getting the same damage and burn ticks on bandit shotgun and commando m1

[livid wedge]

That's what I thought

Someone in general is absolutely convinced it does

Also convinced chronobauble slow time is affected by proc coef

Wolfo posted the literal code for how chrono works and they said it was wrong

[lavish jacinth]

lmao

I was gonna say I can post a clip if you want, but if they're not convinced by the code then I dunno if that would convince them lol

[lavish jacinth]

is good if you're not using his primary much, are great as usual and can be decent, actually don't benefit him as much since they interact with poison differently than most multipliers do (they can still be great late-game when you're less reliant on poison though).
is also good if you're not using his primary, since most of his skills aren't affected by attack speed much at all

oh and can be decent, but taking away procs is always a pretty big downside

[signal path]

pain

[manic vessel]

Can you mod the game on console?

[lavish jacinth]

nope

[manic vessel]

Man

[signal path]

Man my friends and i have done like 5 runs where we reach stage 6 but them we just get absolutely demolished on stage 6

[manic vessel]

What item should i get for huntress

[quartz lava]

I do solo but same

[signal path]

like stage 5 is still doable by being a lil careful but stage 6 the pillars are literally impossible

we like 80 percented the loot on most stages and we were at around 55 mins

[signal path]

mannnnn

[quartz lava]

Same man

[signal path]

getting tired of dying there repeatedly smh

[signal path]

someone needs to get in here with some tips 😭

[quartz lava]

Stage 6 just feels almost impossible

[signal path]

literally

[quartz lava]

Feels like I can't even make the minibosses health move on anyone who isn't railgunner.

[signal path]

i bought the game like 2 days ago and have been playing non stop and the only time i was able to reach the boss and beat him was when i literally went fast on each stage and had like barely 10 attachments when i got to boss

think i just got lucky honestly

and then on the boss i pretty much had to cheese by staying on the pillar and the fight took a whole 15 mins
