ror2-game-questions

[jaunty furnace]

even if they were good, taking away ALL of your boss items is pretty insane

[glacial knoll]

bad void and bad item

[primal vector]

and bad boys

[cosmic forum]

risk of rain returns doesnt work either idk whats going on ☹️

[high forum]

Probably Steam server issues

[cosmic forum]

weird how its just rorr and ror2 though i dont have any problems with any other games rn

nvm every games that uses p2p aint working

isaac and elden ring nightreign arnt working either

[jagged coral]

what is the enemy before beetle queen in the logbook?

[primal vector]

Voidling

Survivors of the void dlc final boss

[gritty vortex]

guys iam have trouble in enter a multiplayer game, someone more having that issue?

[primal vector]

It is a steam server/cloudflare problem. Read above

[jagged coral]

thanks!

[jaunty furnace]

steam outage probably

its been a while though which is weird

[gritty vortex]

iam trying for about 10 minutes

its alredy happend before?

I thought it might be a DLC conflict; my friend bought the Seekers DLC and I have the Void DLC

[cosmic forum]

peer to peer connections are tweaking on steam rn

[primal vector]

This is not a problem. You can play with other people with any combination of dlcs, no dlcs and even some mods

[gritty vortex]

thanks guys

[rain creek]

which enemy is this?

[jaunty furnace]

solus heart

[rain creek]

thats weird, ive killed it a few times

[lavish jacinth]

it's bugged, it always appears locked until you get the log

[rain creek]

oh alright alright

is the log a drop or is it hidden?

[lavish jacinth]

it's a drop

[rain creek]

tyty

[vapid grail]

has anyone got good use out of benthic bloom?

[brisk mantle]

quick question is getting a specific stage u want luck based? im trying to unlock rex and did like 3-4 loops and still didnt get abysal depths. Yes i did go to newt and didnt get it there aswell

[high forum]

yup, entirely luck based, as are the bazaar selections. best you can do is just hit the bazaar between stage 3-4 and cross your fingers

[brisk mantle]

alright thank you, guess i'll keep hitting my head against a brick wall

[south egret]

are you using mods?

[zinc turtle]

as it always depends on rng

[south egret]

if there was a movement speed void item, I would use it every run ngl

[scenic quartz]

For the Thunderdome challenge for Loader do i have to kill 3 other loaders in the bulwark's ambry in one run or can i kill 1 end the run kill another etc

[lavish jacinth]

pretty sure it has to be the same run

but if you look at the challenges in the ingame logbook and it shows a progress bar for the unlock, then you could use that to check

[hoary sedge]

if you just do the vengeance trial you don't have to bother with multiple runs btw

the umbras count and it spawns one after every key you use

[heavy gorge]

and it still works like that if you already have the artifact enabled, interestingly enough

[wary gulch]

is there a website or something which breaks down scene director credits in more detail than the wiki? eg. talking about the chance of spawning different types of chests, shrines, or even chance of spawning temporary item dispensers etc. because some stages seem to have more of those than others

[lavish jacinth]

it's pretty much impossible to determine exact chances for stuff due to how the credit system works. The only way to do it would be to do hundreds of runs and record the average amount of spawns for each interactable on every stage

it would be a pretty big task and the information just isn't important enough to be worth the effort

[wary gulch]

im sure people have done that

[lavish jacinth]

if people had done it then the info would probably be on the wiki

[wary gulch]

the wiki doesnt even have info for newer stages

[lavish jacinth]

it has the interactable credits and stuff for each stage

you can ask #ror-wiki-discussion I guess but they'll probably give you the same answer, it'd be really tedious to do and ultimately not very useful

[strange venture]

What happens iof you use Transendence and Then Shaped Glass? lose half shield or just lose 1 hp?

[lavish jacinth]

half shield

[zinc ibex]

What character do I use to try to get Rex

[devout basin]

I forgot unlock req

[zinc ibex]

It’s take fuel array to abyssal depths and find robot

Mines keeps exploding for some reason

And killing Me

[devout basin]

You know where he is, if so use loader or huntress

They have decent mobility and survivability

What plat u play?

I'm an Xbox player I could help.

But hope tht helps

[lavish jacinth]

fuel array explodes if you fall below 50% health

[devout basin]

Forgot that it's been a minute

[sullen basin]

is backup magazine useful at all for railgunner

[devout basin]

More shots after reload

+1 per magazine

So personally yea

[sullen basin]

what about soldier syringe?

[devout basin]

Faster m1 speed the faster it is you could potentially turn yourself into a jetpack, Yes

The m1s propel railgunner

[sullen basin]

wait what

[devout basin]

The RT or M1s propel railgunner the more atk spd you have

You can save yourself from fall damage or with enough propel yourself like a jetpack

[sullen basin]

like, non-aimed?

[devout basin]

Non aimed

[lavish jacinth]

not really
the extra shots don't get the perfect reload bonus and are still pretty slow, so you're better off just reloading

[hollow falcon]

Do simulacrum waves count towards the “Uncorruptable” achievement for Commando or not? Like if I did 20 waves of the simulacrum with zero lunar items as commando, would I get Uncorruptable

[lavish jacinth]

and it does literally nothing for alt m2

[devout basin]

I would like to know this too

[hollow falcon]

Well, only one way to find out

[lavish jacinth]

I'm like 99% sure it doesn't

[hollow falcon]

damn

[lavish jacinth]

or if it does then it would take a ton of waves, since simulacrum "stages" only change every 10 waves

[devout basin]

Damn cause I've attempted solo twice and keep getting smacked

On drizzle 😭

[kind wedge]

Anyone know of a guide to consistently place pots on the weight caps or something using Railgunner's concussion mines?

Wanna get bands in Abandoned Aquedact, my mines send them in like Mach 5 speed even when placed fairly far. 😭

[jaunty furnace]

Seekers of The Storm Update

Have Fun

[sullen basin]

if i use hud before placing turrets, do they get the crit buff

[glacial knoll]

Nothing about buffs is shared or inherited so no

[simple coyote]

it’s pot”rolling” not potpushing. get a head start to knock it over and then guide its roll, and tip it over to stay on the button

also be careful to not destroy viable pots

[kind wedge]

Can't even "roll" it on slopes

[simple coyote]

well yes that’s why you’re careful around viable pots in case you lose one. can’t bring another over

[kind wedge]

Ngl it's more like pushing than rolling with how hard it is to push but very easy to send it at Mach 5 with the concussion mines lol

[simple coyote]

granted you have railgunner impulse mines so can send any of them over

[primal vector]

Just forget about them unless you are playing engi and you will be much happier

[simple coyote]

yeah I don’t want to miss them but also it isn’t worth the time if you don’t already have a plate-holder in your kit

not necessarily engi only

engineer (stationary turrets), loader, captain, operator, drifter, and if you have FMP, primordial cube or effigy

and NOT caffienator

never EVER would they let caffienator hold a plate

because why would it

also I think not that bad to roll with huntress (blink push), and maybe commando/rex (similar non-damaging utility)

[primal vector]

I think rex obliterates them just like railgunner's mines. Better to forget about the bands

[kind wedge]

Tried Loader's, apparently the Pylon doesn't float downwards anymore? (Saw it was floating down from an old RoR2 vid)

[simple coyote]

ah maybe

[kind wedge]

Rolling pots may be far easier than tryna line up the pylon lmao

[simple coyote]

what the heck

[trim lynx]

effigy works too iirc

[simple coyote]

AND effigy this is true

I forgot to look at lunars when i tabbed the equipments

[simple coyote]

wait antlers doesn’t, does it?

[hoary sedge]

i doubt it

and even if it did there wouldn't really be a consistent way to get it to actually spawn on top of the plate

[sullen basin]

does fuel cell affect seed of life

[hoary sedge]

only the consumed version, you only get 1 revive use no matter what

[sullen basin]

what's a good boss item for seeker?

[devout basin]

Personally little disciple or or mired urn

Probably Mired urn if you are using a flying seeker build

[lavish jacinth]

are always good

[jaunty furnace]

the good boss items kinda work on everyone

can be insane with (but drone parts is naturally insane)

[sullen basin]

i'm inputting a code into the artifact laptop thing and the portal isn't opening?

it plays a little animation then it doesn't open

do i have to clear the teleporter first?

[lavish jacinth]

are you sure you put it in right?

[sullen basin]

oh nevermind i didn't

my bad

[simple coyote]

actually

I heard reprieve’s tornado has 1.0 per tick

which is absurd

[tardy wagon]

Are they gonna make Alloyed Collective Skins for other DLC survivors?

[lavish jacinth]

probably not, they said they weren't gonna do cross-dlc skins anymore

[tardy wagon]

https://tenor.com/view/spider-man-spider-man-web-of-shadows-depressed-sad-gif-16524395

[zinc ibex]

Aye shloud I try to get heretic is it any good ?

[lavish jacinth]

they're pretty good, but you can't unlock them permanently

[zinc ibex]

Oh nvm then

[devout basin]

That fucking stinks a accept the offering would be clean asf for seeker or false son

[hidden mist]

why does my friend pixelated text?

[jaunty furnace]

?

[heavy gorge]

What happens if you use drifter’s base special when the DLC is disabled? Are temporary items allowed to exist solely for her or does the ability break?

[devout basin]

I think they exist solely for her ability I'll check if you haven't gotten an answer rq

Solely for her ability based off a quick start check

[south egret]

I find it funny they keep adding survivors. Their work load would be easier and would leave room for higher quality if they stopped.

[heavy gorge]

But new survivors are awesome and the most readily accessible parts of a DLC

well, one of the new survivors is anyway

[primal vector]

You want them to stop making playable characters so they can make more skins?

[stone brook]

Any update on when the switch port for alloyed collective drops?

[south egret]

I'd rather have more skills and skins for preexisting characters than new characters that aren't even going to get a unique skin for the dlc they came in

[primal vector]

Q1 2026 is the last thing they said on 09/December

[grand drift]

whats a good character for me to play if I like a high damage aggressive and consistent playstyle (decent even if u get mid items)?
ive tried mercenary and loader but i feel like they heavily depend on what items u get later on so is there any characters similar to those that might have more consistency?

[lavish jacinth]

false son is pretty decent if you like aggressive melee characters

[grand drift]

i dont have dlc

[lavish jacinth]

although loader and merc aren't overly item-dependent if you know what you're doing

[heavy gorge]

The most consistent survivor imo is Acrid but his damage is a bit slower

[lavish jacinth]

I think they're actually two of the preferred survivors for itemless runs

[grand drift]

yeah im new amd those are kinda high skill ceiling characters so im still learning

but is there anything easier or more consistent i can use in the meantime

[lavish jacinth]

Acrid is definitely easier and more consistent then

But also not as interesting to play imo

[grand drift]

thx ill try it

how do u get it

[lavish jacinth]

complete all 9 waves in void fields

[grand drift]

should i gear up before i start or can i go in without items

[lavish jacinth]

definitely get at least a few items, at minimum you want a decent amount of mobility and a consistent way to heal

[grand drift]

what character do u reccommend? is mercenary fine

[lavish jacinth]

I'd suggest a ranged survivor, Engineer is good at holdouts but his mobility isn't great so you'll need some speed items

[heavy gorge]

He’s not really too good there since he’s melee and you have to stay in a small zone

[lavish jacinth]

^ you definitely want range

[cobalt herald]

would anyone consider this build good enought to phase skip mythrix?

[heavy gorge]

His one ranged skill requires an obnoxious achievement too because fuck you

[lavish jacinth]

considering all you really need for phase 4 skip is kjaro's band and half-decent damage, you'll be fine

[heavy gorge]

So is the J pronounced like a G or a Y

[cobalt herald]

ok cool, is there a specfic setup i need or do i just do as much damage as i can

[lavish jacinth]

you gotta have him roughly in the center of the arena and have kjaro's proc when he's almost dead, so that the fire tornado is still going when phase 4 starts

(even if you miss the skip you'll probably still be fine, phase 4 aint that hard lol)

[cobalt herald]

im mostly worried about it because i have so many damage items as well as like 17 safer spaces

[lavish jacinth]

he can't use safer spaces anymore

[cobalt herald]

ok cool

[lavish jacinth]

and you can always just use the safe strat, hide behind a pillar and poke him to death while his attacks are on cooldown

[cobalt herald]

ok thanks!

[brazen mesa]

can you clone operator with gooby and have him(?) get the chaingun from drone parts like chef

[lavish jacinth]

operator isn't a robot, so no
(although his unique drones should get the chainguns if the gummy clone can spawn with them, I actually don't know if it does lol)

[brazen mesa]

how does brittle crown work with longstanding do i lose exp on hit or do i just negate the downside

[lavish jacinth]

it just removes the downside of crown, yeah

[brazen mesa]

goated

[river ledge]

I will always say kgyros

Cuh-gy-rose

gy like gyro(and i dont mean yeero)

[river ledge]

Ok so i got someone telling me to get sots and someone telling me to get sotv so react with a if i should get sotv and a if i should get sots, i just kinda want an overall opinion from everyone who has them

[primal vector]

It would help to k ow what you enjoy the most. Do you like any of the characters, or you would like a nice final boss or more items, etc

[brazen mesa]

what's the best drone combo to start with as operator?

[primal vector]

Well, dont use chirp at the moment. There is currently a bug where using his default m2 with chrip on a rooted enemy (alpha construct, barnacle) cause a ton of particle that crash some people's runs

[bright rain]

where do i find all the environment logbooks?

[brazen mesa]

does stone flux affect engi turrets

[mossy acorn]

Hey, I joined because I was wondering if cross platform play is ever going to be a thing for RoR2, most of my friends play on PC and I can't afford a PC and only have an Xbox Series X. Figured the best place to ask a question like this would be here.

[lavish jacinth]

for normal stages you just have to get lucky and have a radio scanner spawn, but for hidden realms the logbook locations are all on the wiki https://riskofrain2.wiki.gg/wiki/Environments

[lavish jacinth]

very unlikely, at least not any time soon

[lavish jacinth]

yes, pretty much every item works on them
generally the only things that don't are items that passively summon minions, or items that wouldn't work correctly on them anyway like rusted key

not sure I'd recommend taking stone flux on a character that already has zero mobility though, unless you have a lot of movement speed already

[bright rain]

Wdym?

[lavish jacinth]

https://riskofrain2.wiki.gg/wiki/Radio_Scanner these are how you get environment logs for normal stages

for hidden realms there's an actual book hidden somewhere in the map that you have to find

[willow iris]

I'm trying to get the achievement for killing mithrix with Aurelionite while he has stacks of ruin, what items should i get to make sure that i get it?

[lavish jacinth]

treat it like the other "kill mithrix with X" challenges, focus on direct damage multipliers and try to avoid procs and auto-damage items that can steal the kill

can also be useful to give aurelionite some extra dps

[prisma swift]

Quick question, just bought the game, wth do I do? DM if u could pls

[lavish jacinth]

tl;dr kill monsters, get loot, find teleporter and leave once all loot is acquired, repeat

probably also die a lot at first, that's normal

[prisma swift]

k thats kinda what i was doin lol thought there was like a deeper meaning or sum but yea tysm

[brazen mesa]

where's the legendary chest on siren's call

[bright rain]

why doesnt my glaive bounce off enemies when they die from huntress?

im tryna get the alternative ability but they just wont bounce

[lavish jacinth]

there isn't one, you get the legendary by killing alloy worship unit

[plucky trout]

why doesnt bandit's primary crit apply hemorrage? i thought all crits apply it?

dont hemorrhage last 15s? im pretty sure i hit crit from the back 20 times

[mild cloud]

your m2 applies hemorrhage on crit

[zinc turtle]

what items does acrid want?

i know he doesn't need attack speed for example

[brazen mesa]

yo why cant i find the button for runic bands

[heavy gorge]

backup mags, mobility, afterburner, lysate cell

[lavish jacinth]

he's one of the least item-dependent survivors, but stuff that increases poison damage is nice, like etc

along with the usual mobility and stuff

[jaunty furnace]

not just chirp, its transport drones in general

[jaunty furnace]

its obviously deeper than that lol

thats like shortening every fps game to "you shoot guys"

[brazen mesa]

is rachis any good on engi turrets

[pallid helm]

does anyone know why it says i have played huntress this many times when I definitly have not?

[brazen mesa]

how do i get better at consistently finding runic band pressure plates

[signal path]

There's 8 possible positions for them just memorise them

https://youtu.be/aIIpdr2le78?si=1oty4NCOXl_JeePC

This guy shows an easy way to memorise them in order

[primal vector]

The logbook is just wacky since always

[river ledge]

What character should i play today

[zinc ibex]

Is operator the base charter u unlock from the dlc or I gottta obtain it

[jaunty furnace]

from dlc3 yes

[copper depot]

When a challenge refers to "the final boss", does it count any mithrix phase or just the final one

[jaunty furnace]

final

[mellow crystal]

ones related to killing him are final phase but stuff like applying 20 burn stacks applies to any phase

[copper depot]

Ok

Got it

[gray epoch]

On void fiend, will the deus ex machina effect apply for every tick of his corrupted beam, or only the first one?

[kindred wadi]

will having the fuel array guarantee abyssal depths stage 4 or do i just gotta keep trying

ive been swapping my equipments out so i can do the tp but idk if its like messing with the achievement

[frigid rock]

If a player in a Multiplayer lobby has DLC, but none of the other players have it, Can that player still use DLC content?

[glacial knoll]

yes

[blissful dragon]

does plasma shrimp count as a buff/missile when you have the red missile item that buffs it?

[twin thistle]

ICBM? yes

[blissful dragon]

yeah

so it does buff plasma shrimp?

[twin thistle]

yes

[agile wedge]

I just fought the Umbra Mul-T at solutional haunt and he didn't drop shaped glass, did they patch that out or is it just one of my mods?

[jaunty furnace]

use the bazaar to hopefully be able to select abyssal

disabling dlc3 will also help

[low plank]

What items does Chef benefit most from

Or ig types of items

[primal vector]

Chef is good with proc items. Chef is also quite fragile so you have to pay attention to that since it is middle range. However getting too much speed may become an issue if using the default utility

[sullen basin]

are there any items that can speed up shield regen

[primal vector]

nope

[sullen basin]

what does AWU drop if u use tricorn

[hoary sedge]

empathy cores

[worthy monolith]

I'm sorry, can anyone clear my mind about how prime meridian (the green portal) works? i was just chilling trying to unlock the secondaries of false son, in a ~1+ hour run and i kinda random entered the green portal and i'm not sure if I can continue to loop, if i can get out before the false son and how

[hybrid frost]

does safer spaces pillar skip still work?

[hybrid frost]

oh nvm, im on railgunner so i can just skip with her mines

[jaunty furnace]

you can use it for the new skip but i dont think you can do it with that alone

you need some other thing to gain height

[hybrid frost]

ok wait how do you use railgunner mine mid air?

[zinc turtle]

Commando: Incorruptible - is that for just the player unlocking it or if the other player who doesn't need the achievement have lunar it's fine?

[sullen basin]

does armor help with rex's self damage?

[jaunty furnace]

throwing both mines instantly detonates the first one

[glacial knoll]

for 2/3 yes, not for the special tho

[sullen basin]

does safer spaces save you from eclipse's lethal fall damage

[zinc turtle]

yes

[livid wedge]

Safer spaces blocks any single instance of damage you would receive aside from void fog

[heavy gorge]

Can safer spaces let you tank the Death Star laser?

[jaunty furnace]

?

there are many lasers in this game lol

[hoary sedge]

and almost all of them are rapid multi-hits which safer spaces doesn't really do much against

[heavy gorge]

It was a crappy joke

[dark pawn]

what if instead of false son it was true daughter and nothing changed

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1236517350061113447/1458331953941057657/giphy-downsized.gif

[bright rain]

why wont my glaive bounce off enemies when i hit them with it?

[south egret]

enemies need to be nearby to have them be a bounce target

[bright rain]

there are enemies nearby

[south egret]

hm

[bright rain]

i tried it with a horde of wisps yet none of my glaive bounced

they did with 1 hit but they didnt bounce

[south egret]

does it just not bounce at all, or what?

[south egret]

interesting

[bright rain]

just doesnt bounce

[south egret]

get one of the #roles and, if you are able, send a video to show off what you’re doing

[bright rain]

do i deal too much dmg for it to bounce?

[south egret]

that should be irrelevant. Even if you kill the enemy, it should still bounce

[bright rain]

i se

oh now it bounces

bruh

[south egret]

lmao

[blissful dragon]

does the foreihn fruit equipment heal you or the equipment drone if put into it (reply please)

[lavish jacinth]

it heals the drone

[south egret]

foreign fruit always heals the holder of the equipment.

[lavish jacinth]

equipments in general only affect the thing holding it, unless it's explicitly a team buff like

[south egret]

if you give an equip drone wood sprite, that has the potential to heal you

I actually really like wood sprite 😅

[snow spire]

can i get access node on loop

[lavish jacinth]

yes but only if you haven't used one previously on that run. If you have, the nodes won't spawn and the only way to get back to computational exchange is to kill alloy worship unit or false son for a guaranteed portal

[snow spire]

i cant find it and im here

on stage 8

[lavish jacinth]

are you on treeborn colony/golden dieback?

bc nodes won't spawn on those stages
but otherwise, if you haven't used a node yet then it should be there somewhere, just keep looking

[snow spire]

im on the one with acid and eggs

[lavish jacinth]

sulfur pools

then yeah, it should've spawned

[snow spire]

whats the method to getting all of rex's unlockable skills

they are so hard to get\

[lavish jacinth]

Dunked is pure rng, just reset until you get dunestriders on aqueduct and then spam utility at them until they fall into a pit

for Full of Life, get a bunch of HP and then use a big %health heal like foreign fruit or elixir. Rejuv rack also helps

for Bushwhacked, just keep spamming m2 to stay under 50% health. Having some can actually help since shields count as max hp but can't he healed by his skills, but other than that there isn't really a trick to it, you kinda just have to do it

(btw, the wiki also has tips for unlocks) https://riskofrain2.wiki.gg/wiki/REX

[snow spire]

tysm

[drifting elm]

Can you fight False Son once per loop or once per run?

[snow spire]

do soldiers syringes work on rex

[jaunty furnace]

itd be insane if they didnt

[hoary sedge]

its supposed to be once per run but iirc there's some jank you can do to get back to prime meridian

[drifting elm]

I'm just calling it then, loop 5 and I'm only still going hoping to find a way back. Thank you 🙂

[sullen basin]

does finishing an eclipse 1 run also grant you the monsoon skin for a character

[solid plover]

good build for rex with command?

[south egret]

according to another person’s testimony, it does not

[trim lynx]

pretty sure it does , just not logbooks

better safe than sorry tho

i could very well be wrong

[south egret]

you should be focusing on damage boosts and HEALTH increase (NOT shield).
Razorwire is a goated synergy for you, including planula if you get a boss drop (if you want one, I recommend using a tricorn to kill a boss instead of hoping it falls from a tele event)
nkuhana’s opinion is really good, too

[solid plover]

ty kind survivor

[solid plover]

so on that note, stuff like the steak and green health increase on kill item are good on rex? i know most builds dont call for those

[south egret]

yeah, just a few

don’t get only steak or only infusion, since your skills take a percentage of your max health

so you’re not beating the hurting in any way, just making yourself a bit safer

oh also, I forgot to add: avoid cautious slug and opal like the plague. They will never activate if you’re playing REX correctly

[solid plover]

appeciate teh feedback. thanks a lot

[worldly olive]

That's not quite how rexs skills work actually, as most of them are actually based on your current hp and not your total

As you can see here: as my health gets lower so does the health drain of seed barrage

With that being said Rex doesn't really benefit from hp increases any better than the average survivor (in other words they're really only noteworthy if you can get an insane amount without that much of a downside)

[young bane]

idk if theres a channel more fitting for this discussion, direct me there if there is BUT

i can only buy two of the three DLC for RoR2, which should i get?

[frosty reef]

just pass on seekers of the storm and get the other two

[young bane]

okayuh

[heavy gorge]

Pass on Void instead

[north granite]

As much as I like Seekers and that I haven't played AC (switch player), I'd recommend AC over sheerly because FUCK SCORCH WORMS AND THOSE FUCKASS CHILDREN 💢

Two worst enemies that I keep dying to

[mellow crystal]

I wouldn't say n'kuhana's is really good, just a kinda solid damage up

It's worth like 1-2 watches probably

Much more than n'kuhana's on any other character tho

[worldly olive]

Also just in general I'd say that you shouldn't really ever invest in healing as Rex

You shouldn't really do that as any survivor, let alone the one who already has insane healing from the getgo

[gray epoch]

On void fiend, will the deus ex machina effect apply for every tick of his corrupted beam, or only the first one?

(The blessing buff if I wasn't specific)

[neon trout]

Yo if I'm doing a multiplayer run and we beat the solus heart but I died and my friend rejected the offer, does only he get the skin? I didn't get any skin (Playing commando)

[frosty reef]

Only the first tick

[south egret]

oh, wicked

[wintry fjord]

If I got a temp infusion and got it to max stats then it ran out what would happen

[south egret]

I feel like as long as you’re utilizing plant util and special well, you’ll be getting a lot of healing

[worldly olive]

In order to get the stats from the infusion again you'd have to get another one

[wintry fjord]

So substandard duplicator is good with infusions?

[heavy gorge]

how much damage reduction do you get per point of armor?

[livid wedge]

Each point of armor increases effective health by 1%

So, 10 armor would be as if you had 10% more health, so damage taken is the inverse of that, 100/110

100 armor would be as if you had an extra 100% health, so damage is effectively halved

[wintry fjord]

Would you be able to get over 100

[livid wedge]

You can get more than 100 armor. For example, if you had stuff giving you a total of 500 armor, like , you'd have an effective health of 500%, so you are now only taking 100 / ( 100 + 500 )

So, 1/6

[lavish jacinth]

you can't get 100% damage resistance if that's what you mean

[mellow crystal]

You will but also it's n'kuhana's

does icbm work when you play as a missle drone in multiplayer?

[void rune]

I haven't really played the game since the 2nd DLC came, what should I unlock first and did the meta change?

[jaunty furnace]

sotv is a must, then its kinda your choice
id recommend going in order of release, despite sots having particularly dogshit enemies

[jaunty furnace]

whatever ya want

and you should probably elaborate on what you mean by meta

has item macro changed? yes, if youre strong enough to beat the boss..

[void rune]

items, yeah

Sale star for example seems very strong and some other items synergize well with some survivors

[jaunty furnace]

theres no new macro items but there is a cool big mechanic you can access after beating solus wing

actually i guess there is technically new macro items

because you can pull off shenanigans with temporary items

like leaving temporary keys and shipping requests on the ground until you beat the stage

so that they spawn a real item next stage

[pallid crow]

i just noticed a detail that is very new to me after a while of not playing there is much i dont know and remember,

ive heard bells at the beginning of 2 stages after tp and im on the 3rd stage. do the bells mean anything?

its not apart of the music either becasue the music was at 0% when i noticed

[jaunty furnace]

you turned on "increased difficulty effects"

[pallid crow]

aaaahh interesting i did indeed do that

[jaunty furnace]

it just adds the rorr sound

for some fuckin reason

that's not really a thing in this game

[proven fossil]

I have a question with the new boss. I killed him and forgot to pick up sentry key/matrix. Went to chef and I cannot make the offering. Looped through again and still don't have the required items to combine. Is there any way I can get to the end to reject/accept the offering?

[jaunty furnace]

you can use rusted key, encrusted key, empathy cores and orphaned core

[proven fossil]

I have rusted key, but no cores 🙁

[jaunty furnace]

..you do not need all of those

those can all be combined with the brain thing

to decrypt it

[proven fossil]

The thing is I never picked up the brain thing. I clicked portal too quick

[jaunty furnace]

rusted key + encrypted cerebellum = decrypted cerebellum

[floral ridge]

Yes

It's gonna take a lot of time probably but retool rebar does damage and double atg will do more

[jaunty furnace]

shouldve full looted

https://tenor.com/view/bleak-it's-bleak-shaking-head-its-bleak-black-and-white-gif-9592734580409210082

but also yes thats winnable

[sullen dragon]

I did

[jaunty furnace]

charge tp and spam rebar after from a distance

[sullen dragon]

Lost

To the last one

[jaunty furnace]

charging tp to 99% stops enemy spawns

[floral ridge]

Yeah

[sullen dragon]

Ik, hard when you got 5 of these mfs

[sullen dragon]

Look at the cinematography tho

[floral ridge]

Do you know about to coping?

[sullen dragon]

Like I'm being judged

[floral ridge]

Tp coping

[sullen dragon]

Nah, trying to deny the inevitable loss?

[floral ridge]

It's a strategy to use there

Basically you leave the tp zone to pull the enemies all over to the other end of the map, then go straight back to tp and charge it, you alternate between pulling enemies away, and charging tp until you get to 99% charge, and then you start killing enemies cause more won't spawn

[sullen dragon]

That seems like it takes alot of time

[floral ridge]

It's an unituitiive way of playing the game but is really effective if your damage is low, cause you hit double mountain shrine while not full looting on stage 2

[sullen dragon]

Well I ended up killing four but the last one did the explosion

And there was no cover

[floral ridge]

Why were you playing away from cover then

[sullen dragon]

THERE WAS NONE

[floral ridge]

There is a lot of cover on that map

[sullen dragon]

I wanted to be close to the healing shrine

[floral ridge]

Gg

[lavish jacinth]

being a little bit slow is a lot better than dying

but going too slowly really isn't as much of a problem as you'd think, as long as you're full-looting stages

(the 5 minute rule is a dead meta that was never good to begin with, don't listen to it)

[random panther]

How many stage credits are on titanic plains

I want to know how fucked I was by the game just now because I got 2 equipment barrels, 2 small chests, 1 trishop, 1 large chest, and nothing else in terms of loot aside from the halc, the tp, and a bunch of drones + turrets. No printers, no scrappers, no mountain shrines, and 1 combat shrine

Genuinely this stage is fucking dogshit, holy shit bro it's not even giving me scraps, it's giving me god damn crumbs

[jaunty furnace]

that doesnt sound that bad tbh

could be much worse

if you didnt do the halc shrine then thats on you, 3 items is super good

[lavish jacinth]

220

but 8 items total (assuming you didn't get a card before opening the trishop) plus 2 equips and a bunch of drones is pretty decent

[random panther]

8 items being considered good, meanwhile every time you load into siphoned you usually end up with a bare minimum of 15 items

[lavish jacinth]

it's worse than siphoned but not nearly as bad as it could be

you kids today just don't know how good you have it, back in my day we only had roost and plains and we were happy with it

[random panther]

Both roost and plains suck mega dick and are probably the reason woolie came up with the 5 minute rule, seeing as you full cleared those 2 maps within 2 minutes

[signal path]

Does everyone pretty much always pick up transcendence? That item is like genuinely so goated and easy to get

[lavish jacinth]

I don't, but I don't usually use lunars in general

but yeah, transc is really good

[signal path]

Or does it have a hidden downside that i don't know and is secretly ruining my runs and life and it's over for me now

[random panther]

Like bro I ain't out here trying to do an itemless false son attempt

[lavish jacinth]

the only "downside" is that you can't recover health right away after being hit

and it's slightly harder to protect delicate watches since elixir doesn't work

[signal path]

I was avoiding them for a long time but recently focused convergence and transcendence / corpssebloom has been amazing

My only issue with transc is that you can't really do void fields properly with it? Or is that a skill issue

[random panther]

I don't pick up transcendence because I don't pick up lunars in general 99% of the time

[signal path]

Does transmitter and stealkkit still activate with it

Gearbox is an amazing corporation

[lavish jacinth]

he's not very item-dependent so anything works, but multipliers to boost poison damage are particularly nice to get ( etc). Plus the usual mobility and healing and stuff

[hybrid frost]

does the poison proc?

[lavish jacinth]

the poison itself doesn't

but his actual attacks do ofc, including poisonous projectiles

[left forge]

Is hoping for the 40 min scav spawn in sundered grove worth or is abyssal depths just better

[lavish jacinth]

scavs are generally a better payout in terms of item quantity, but depths is more consistent

I'd lean towards depths personally, I think it's a 50% chance for the cave to be open compared to the (in my experience) very low chance of a scav spawning

the cave being open on depths gives the stage an extra 160 credits which is just over 10 small chests' worth, but the director may spend them on other interactables instead

Oh ok, Thanks for answering

[mellow crystal]

I never pick it up because I find it boring but if I intend to win every run with the help of lunars then yeah trans is must

[worldly olive]

It depends on how many drones/turrets you got

If you got like, 8 of them or something like that then yeah you probably aint gonna get that many items in general

Turrets are around 2 thirds of a small chest whilst gunner/healing drones are the same price as a small chest

[random panther]

Bro I got like, 1 drone and 2 or 3 gunner turrets

[worldly olive]

Ok yeah there might be something else going on

Can't be the equipment barrels since those cost like, 1 credit to spawn

[worldly olive]

Its basically ridiculously strong on anyone who isn't Rex/False Son

I typically don't take it from the Bazzar but in general I don't take lunars from the bazzar just because of how broken it is

A solid amount of the reason why a lotta people call Lunars Broken is due to the Bazzar just acting like a diet command for Lunars

Do you think they will fix neutronium weight? So it doesnt randomly dissapear completely?

[glacial knoll]

lol

[primal vector]

There is no information nor comments at all about that. But my personal believe is that if they are going to patch something about DLC3 in the future it is going to be 1) transport drone x Op breaking peoples devices, 2) MulT eating equipments and 3) Neutronium weight

Transport drone and op breaks devices? Wuh

Do people count rebirth as winning?

false son is harder than mithrix because of how stupidly designed he is

[high forum]

i don't think there's any importance to what 'people' view. if your game ends and it's not because you died, you won.

'fate unknown' is more for lore/flavor than any kind of judgement on how you ended the game

Is there a pattern to where he alternates the spins?

[steady stone]

the further you are from him the faster they spin, relative to you

since theyre moving the same degrees, but different distance

[dire tangle]

Okay noted

[steady stone]

generally try to move with them, unless you think you need to quickly move past one to the next gap

[dire tangle]

Okay

Thank you

[lavish jacinth]

bonus tip, he won't start doing big spinny until he's under 75% hp, and once he does, he'll always alternate between spinny and the big ground shockwave on a 30s cooldown. So with practice you can get a feel for when it's about to happen and be ready for it

[dire tangle]

Alright

Does Multiplayer also let you unlock survivor skins/skills?

[void rune]

What's the most efficient way to go for all achievements?
I have all the characters unlocked, half the artifacts, most the abilities, all the other items and basically none of the skins

[dire tangle]

looping on drizzle to get artifacts, loop with characters that you haven't gotten all their abilities, and just don't be scared to play monsoon

that's what helped with me

[void rune]

What about the extra skins from SotS and AC?

[dire tangle]

You can still fight false son if you loop, dunno about AC, I don't own it.

[lavish jacinth]

yeah ofc

[dire tangle]

oohhh

iirc if you kill false son and then wait around for a bit, an encrypted portal will spawn that takes you to conduit canyon, so you can get both skins in one run

[hoary sedge]

what the fuck lmao

do you happen to have any mods on

[hoary sedge]

i think the crit check only cares about the hit that activates the item

so a conductor boomerang should cause the rest of that proc chain to crit

strafe for non looped run, flurry if you want to loop

[brittle junco]

Gotcha, appreciate it

[jaunty furnace]

flurry requires crit to be better

[worldly olive]

If you want to get into more nerdy details:
Flurry needs around 26% crit in order to deal around the same damage as strafe
On the other hand in order for flurry to have a better proc rate it needs around above 60% Crit

sacrifice not swarm

so it will be harder

oh right

[signal path]

easiest way imo is put it on monsoon (enemies have more health)
have command on
get ~3 purities (they make your cooldown near 0)
around 4-5 backup mags work but you can get more if you want
find a boss whos back is easy to tell (stone titan works best imo)
go to town on his back

if you do this you'd probably be able to do it like stage 2-3

[livid wedge]

Uhhhh, yeah, I'm not sure

I got lucky when something similar happened

[rustic saffron]

how many goat hoofs would it take to cancel out the lunar item that doubles health but halves speed?

[lavish jacinth]

I think it'd normally be 7, but atm it's bugged and reduces your speed more than it's supposed to, so probably like 10+

and keep in mind, it's a speed multiplier, so even after getting back to normal move speed, any future speed increases will still be reduced

[rustic saffron]

thanks. would it work better with the soda can thing that increase sprint speed by 25%, or would end up being 25% of your reduced speed?

[lavish jacinth]

yep, sprinting just multiplies your base speed, so it'd still be lowered

(energy drink is functionally just a stronger goat hoof that only activates while sprinting, the sprint multiplier is always 1.5x iirc)

[rustic saffron]

ok thanks

Haven't played drifter in a bit but I can't recall a time where Junk Cube procced an on kill effect

[tepid ravine]

serrated dagger or shiv for bandit?

[lavish jacinth]

I'd go shiv, being able to apply hemorrhage from more than like 2 feet away is just convenient. But his secondary honestly doesn't matter too much so it's whatever

[tepid ravine]

alrighty

[lavish jacinth]

tbh seeker is so overpowered that you can just take anything on her and it'll probably work

you don't really need to worry about "builds" in general though, they aren't really a thing in ror2. Best policy is to prioritize damage and just get as many different items as possible so they can multiply each other

when in doubt, total damage procs and damage multipliers are always good

How do you use diablo strike for literally anything except like 4 bosses

I felt genuine pain just exclusively being able to deal damage with my shotgun other than when i was doing the teleporter boss bro i thought i was gonna fall asleep

[lavish jacinth]

use taser and shock beacon to make enemies hold still

[signal path]

I was trying that man but taser doesn't hold them for long and it has such a small radius meanwhile shock beacon can only be used once per stage

[trim lynx]

you can have permanent uptime with taser iirc

if you keep using it off cooldown

Yeah taser is a permastun if you don't shoot them yourself

[signal path]

Ah fair

[mellow crystal]

What I also recommend is circling inside the radius yourself then leaving it when the cooldown reaches 22s

How exactly do engineer turrets inherit infusion? Do they get the bonus health you accrued or do they get nothing except 1 health per kill they get?

[high forum]

the latter, as you said

[heavy gorge]

reeeeeeeeeeeee

[high forum]

and every time you put it down, it's like a brand new turret. it doesn't remember how many kills it had before

[heavy gorge]

reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[lavish jacinth]

fun fact, I'm pretty sure that gives it synergy with plasma shrimp and kinetic dampener

unless this got changed, gaining health from infusion also updates how much shield you have, which gives you a very tiny amount of shield even if your shield was broken before, so you can effectively reactivate shrimp and dampener by getting a kill.
Normally it's useless because it stops working once the infusion is full, but engie can make use of it since the infusion on his turrets resets when he builds a new one

a mocha is exactly half of a hoof and a syringe. it comes to the same stats. just a matter of whether you want to have them separate for scrapper purposes

[lavish jacinth]

if you can use it, it's very strong

[fickle wadi]

what happens if i put Silence Between Two Strikes on an equipment drone

[thorn mural]

Oh its a melee? Interesting. Been a while since I saw it.

[thorn mural]

Do you happen to know this also?

[lavish jacinth]

if you have spare drone parts, then the chaingun will create the exploding orbs on hit that overloading elites get. But otherwise it doesn't do anything aside from convert half its health to shield

[fickle wadi]

so i lose the passive

for my character

[lavish jacinth]

yeah

[fickle wadi]

alr ty

[lavish jacinth]

Captain

unless you count phase blast (commando's alt secondary)

Bandit probably isn't far behind either though, it's hard to say which is better because it sorta depends on how fast you can mash, and the chargeup on captain's shotgun also plays a big part

[thorn mural]

Oh thats interessant. If you had to choose which would you take?

Ok 3 more questions if thats ok.

Who has the best beam attack?

who has the best ranged explosive attack?

And who has the best burst ranged attack?

[sullen basin]

what does yellow scrap do for drifter

[lavish jacinth]

15% cooldown reduction

[lavish jacinth]

as a primary, probably bandit, even if it's not "better" I just like the feel of it more than cap's shotgun. But it's kind of a weird comparison since they're skills for different characters lol

[thorn mural]

Alrigjt cool! Reason im asking is because im getting a custom ability on character that lets you switch between diffrent weapons

So im trying to figure out which would be best

[lavish jacinth]

1. void fiend (corrupted primary)
2. artificer (nanobomb)*
3. railgunner (supercharge)

*captain's diablo strike is technically much stronger in terms of pure damage, but the blast radius is fairly small and it's pretty hard to use without taser and shock beacons

[thorn mural]

Ahh ok sick, thank you!! Is commandos granade good?

[lavish jacinth]

it's uh
better than suppressive fire

but "good" is a strong word

[thorn mural]

Oh haha

[lavish jacinth]

it just has really weird physics, aiming it takes some practice and the damage is just kinda eh

but it's an aoe and a bit of burst damage, which is technically better than supp being nearly identical to his primary but with a guaranteed stun

is his real special

[thorn mural]

Thats pretty interessant, thank you for great answers. Btw what if you could use shoot out those granades constantly for 10 seconds or something. So it becomes like a granade launcher, would it be way better? Also do they explode on impact?

[thorn mural]

Hahah👍🏻

[lavish jacinth]

they have a 1-second timer that starts after they bounce off of a surface or enemy, which is partly why they're so awkward to use. You kinda have to roll them along the ground and wedge them under an enemy's hitbox to aim them accurately

being able to to spam them would be okay, I guess? if you throw enough of them they're bound to hit something eventually lol

[thorn mural]

Ahh they are like that? Its been so long since I tested them. Now I get why they would be alittle weird. Haha yeah you are right. So I take it if they were impact it would be way better?

[lavish jacinth]

definitely

I think hopoo wanted them to be more unique than just another impact explosive since the game has a few of those already, but they kinda picked a terrible way to set them apart lol

[thorn mural]

That makes sense yeah. What are tje other impact explosives?

[lavish jacinth]

engie m1, mul-t scrap launcher and m2, arti plasma bolt and nanobomb, to name a few. and those are just the ones that would've existed when nades were first added

[thorn mural]

Ah ok. are these good?

Can any of them be shot like a gransde launcher?

[primal vector]

mul-t scrap launcher

[thorn mural]

Interesting! Will have a look at these. Thanks for all the info🫡

[thorn mural]

Sorry one more thing. Is capteins power tazer good?

Also mulT's power mode

[steady stone]

it can stun one single enemy very well which makes it have some usage incredible early and if you see a very strong enemy on like stage four, but it falls off

[primal vector]

No very good, no. That doesnt mean you cannot get some good value from it when stunning an Elder lemurian, clay templar, halcyionite or Greater wisp. Also useful to keep enemies on place for the m2

[steady stone]

power mode is very good though, since it makes builds like double nailgun a thing

it's just double the bullets and more armor while you're using it

[glacial knoll]

double damage double health 33% less speed awesome

[void rune]

What's the Item macro like since SotV? Apparently all SotS items are strong and I have no idea about AC

[jaunty furnace]

both dlcs add a bunch of new macro strategies

sots adds sale star, chance doll, and prime meridian can give you great rewards if you can beat false son

also halcyonite shrine that gives you 3 items from a selection of 5

ac doesnt really add any macro items but there is a cool mechanic after beating solus wing that changes how you think about what items to keep until you get there

also drifter's alt special is the fuckin Macro: Final Boss

[void rune]

SotS seems like a must get DLC for new players will all the mechanics that give even more items?

[jaunty furnace]

sotv is still the goat

and sots adds the worst enemies

[void rune]

True, void items my beloved

[high sedge]

SotV is probably always going to be the best DLC if you're only buying one since it was designed with filling gaps in the base game in mind

[jaunty furnace]

also ac ||cooking|| benefits from having all dlcs

going in release order is the way to go

[thorn mural]

Thank you very much🙏🏻😃

Is flamethrower good at proc?

[trim lynx]

fairly so

[hoary sedge]

kinda, it does get more procs than the rest of her kit but they're a lot lower damage and it's kind of her only skill thats geared towards a lot of small procs instead of a few high damage ones

[trim lynx]

it scales with attack speed and has 1.0 proc coeff

[hoary sedge]

so it can let you make use of some items she normally wouldn't but that won't combo into the rest of her stuff

[trim lynx]

her aoe is also good at proccing, but flamethrower does scale fairly well,

works well with bleed and attack speed

[thorn mural]

I see! What if you had 2 flamethrowers? Would that be insane at proc?

[high sedge]

it's better for bleed than the rest of her kit, but it's not getting as much out of the items the rest of her kit wants since the damage of each hit of flamethrower is so low
you can probably pair it with a crowdfunder if you want to do rapidfire stuff

[trim lynx]

if you wanna make a proc build around it just because, go for it

but theres more effective ways to build

[thorn mural]

Interessant, thanks! Would having 2 flamethrowers at once change anything?

[trim lynx]

im not sure i know what you mean, sorry

are you talking about ?

[thorn mural]

If it was possible with a custom ability where she shoots both at once

Should have mentioned that, sorry

[trim lynx]

oh like theoretically lol

nah dw

[thorn mural]

Yeah haha

[high sedge]

i mean that's basically what crowdfunder is but worse and with a chance to ignite

[trim lynx]

^ except with no windup, lower firerate than crunder at no attack speed, but scales with attack speed

i mean itd just be like a flamethrower but twice as much idk

[thorn mural]

I see. So you both dont think it would be anything special in terms of proc potensial?

[high sedge]

it's outclassed by commando existing so no

also double nailgun mult

[trim lynx]

it would have ~2.4x the procs per second of commando, not including the pierce potential

which would be really damn good

ofc flamethrower is limited in range

[high sedge]

yeah but commando isn't restricted as much when it comes to using double tap if you compare it to flamethrower

[trim lynx]

the damage difference between flamethrower tick and a commando bullet is negligible, so total damage would be aight

[high sedge]

being able to cancel and restart it at will is the differencemaker

[trim lynx]

2 flamethrowers would start off at only 6 damage instances per second below the double tap firerate cap

it would be more comparable to suppressive fire

since that doesnt have a firerate cap and is also on a cooldown

it would be like a shorter cooldown suppressive fire that has 2.4x firerate and pierces, but with a lower range

[thorn mural]

I see, so it would be good?

Sounds interessant

[trim lynx]

it would be the best in the game as long as yer in range, which isnt too surprising as its 2 specials with high proc rates as a baseline lol

ofc, range is the big limiting factor still in this hypothetical

[thorn mural]

Oh wow thats cool

Thanks👍🏻

[trim lynx]

np!

[inner sphinx]

Can someone please explain to me how void fiend work?

[high sedge]

as time progresses your corruption meter fills this is a value from 0 to 100 and starts at 0
once you reach 100% you transform from regular form to corrupted form, and you gain 100 armour, a buff, and your skills change. this is to incentivize aggression
as you pick up void items, your minimum corruption increases by 2% for each, and this affects how quickly you transform into your corrupted for, but not how long corrupted form lasts.
you transform back into regular form once your corruption meter reaches the minimum value
healing forcibly lowers your corruption
taking damage, dealing damage, landing crits and time passing all raise the meter
Suppress either spends 25% of the meter to heal you for 25%, or hurts your for 25% to increase the meter for 25%. Uncorrupted suppress can be used any number of times so long as you have 25 corruption, and corrupted suppress has 2 charges per transformation (affected by lysate cells)

[inner sphinx]

Wait what happens if I get my minimum to 100?

[high sedge]

you're permanently corrupted

[inner sphinx]

So what builds are good for him?

[high sedge]

anything

he's stupid strong

he's probably the most versatile survivor

[inner sphinx]

Also a random question but is the lunar items that change your attacks count as a secret character?

[high sedge]

heretic?
most people consider her a secret character yeah

[primal vector]

She has a log for beating the game as her so i would say 100%

[mellow crystal]

i'd say operator takes that spot tbh but yeah viend is up there

[sullen basin]

does ego eat scrap

[void rune]

I think so

[jaunty furnace]

have you tried collecting all of them at once

think your question will be answered when you do that

[inner sphinx]

How does chance doll work? Like what happens when you have more then 7?

[jaunty furnace]

40% (+10% per stack) chance to replace items in chance shrines with a higher rarity one

ight fuck me then

effectively same thing though

[grim leaf]

Hey everyone. I'm trying to get Captain's alloyed collective skin. I interacted and accepted the collective and it said I was decompiled but it didn't unlock the skin for me. Did I do something wrong?

[jaunty furnace]

new bugs every day man

to confirm, you pressed e on solus heart after beating him, right?

[grim leaf]

yes I did

I might just have to unlock the skin with a mod or try again I guess

[inner sphinx]

Yes but what if i have more then 7 (100%)? Does it make it more common to get boss/legendary items?

[jaunty furnace]

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

[high sedge]

Chance doll just caps out at 100%

[jaunty furnace]

nothing

same as etc

[high sedge]

There's no effect past that since all the item does is check if a different distribution is used

[inner sphinx]

Oh

[grim leaf]

Thank you! I was proud of my win and everything. Sucks that it didn't unlock but hey I don't feel bad for using the mod in this situation!

[high sedge]

Nothing in ror2 has a bonus effect for going over 100% chance as a rule
Some situations change the number needed to reach 100% but surpassing this has no effect unless items stack in both chance and power like sentient meat hooks (although i think they specifically are hyperbolic in chance scaling and wont reach 100%)

[south egret]

yes

[south egret]

that is absolutely how it should work

[void rune]

Is there a bug with MUL-T where the equipment just disappears when picked up?

[trim lynx]

worth noting equips are excluded

[lavish jacinth]

yep

someone did make a mod to fix it though https://thunderstore.io/package/woodyscales/RetoolFixesForMulT/

[void rune]

What causes this? Just picking up a 3rd equipment?

[lavish jacinth]

apparently it's caused by functional coupler existing

there's like a hidden 3rd slot that the "deleted" equipment gets stored in, if you obtain a functional coupler then it'll show up there

[jaunty furnace]

does it also fix the display,,

[soft glen]

Quick question, I just beat the solus wing, (without going through the conduit canyon) first went in its eye, but I didn't have the item to decode the little ball, so I went back and looped around in hopes of going back. Is there a way to return back to the digital world?

[frozen cliff]

I don't believe so. But another question, how did you not have one of the items? There's like 4 that work

[soft glen]

I didn't have either of the 4 items. There was nothing I could merge it with at the chef and it wouldn't allow me to submit it without decoding it.

I was a bit unlucky

[frozen cliff]

I mean prison matricies and sentry keys aren't really rng

[lavish jacinth]

The only way to get back to computational exchange is to kill alloy worship unit or false son, they both spawn a guaranteed portal

[lavish jacinth]

and there's no luck required, it's always possible to get one. You can use a prison matrix or sentry key to decode it, both of which are guaranteed to be obtainable

[soft glen]

I didn't get the original conduit on stage 3 as I was on one of the seekers of the storm maps, but I got a portal on stage 4 that took me straight to the solutional haunt

[lavish jacinth]

you can always get a prison matrix after killing solus wing

[frozen cliff]

that makes more sense but yeah what fax said

[soft glen]

You do? I'll definitely keep that in mind the next run I do against the wing

[frozen cliff]

explore the map more after you kill the wing. Specifically the tunnels leading out of the central room

[lavish jacinth]

yeah, they always spawn in one of the side rooms

[soft glen]

Alright, thank you! I finally have a good run that I have hopes I can get the drifter with, so it's good I can still attempt it🙏

[lavish jacinth]

oh

[soft glen]

Ohhh okay, I get what you mean, I just didn't explore enough.

[lavish jacinth]

well, you won't be able to get drifter on that run, there's no way back to solutional haunt once solus wing is dead

[frozen cliff]

if you're gonna use both matricies for drifter, then try to get a rusted/encrusted key, sentry key, or empathy cores to decode the cerebellum

[soft glen]

Oh darn. Next time I beat the solus wing I'll try to look for the drifter then. At least I can try to beat the solus heart on this run!

But thank you for your help!

[frozen cliff]

[left sky]

Any mod recommended for multiplayer?

[frozen cliff]

what kind of pack?

Like just qol or more mods

toomanyfriends, lookingglass, sharesuite, and badassemotes are some of my go-to's for multiplayer

[sullen basin]

how does armor exactly work/scale?

[lavish jacinth]

X armor = +X% effective health

the wiki has the specifics if you're interested, but armor = health is all you really need to know, at least for positive armor https://riskofrain2.wiki.gg/wiki/Armor

negative armor is a bit weirder but is basically just damage vulnerability

[sullen basin]

i see

[sullen basin]

so can it help with fall damage

[lavish jacinth]

yeah

it affects all damage except void fog and interactables that cost HP

and rex's special for some reason

[sullen basin]

idk if this is a valid question, but what are your favorite songs in the game?

[south egret]

oh, there's so many

[south egret]

• Having Fallen, It Was Blood is probably my favorite because of the Hailstorm callback
• Con Lentitud Poderosa is probably a lot of peoples' favorite, and it's no secret why
• The Face of the Deep's sax solo is phenomenal and a banger. I hope there's more jazzy songs in the future

[north granite]

I Should Build That Man A Statue

[wintry fjord]

https://open.spotify.com/track/2exAEeNtedWYG4xqBStrFl?si=zcLNoEGDSYmhdPziFmelWg

Or https://open.spotify.com/track/5KEoPtv1mCNpF9Ne75kozY?si=ltX29BexQA6F6PiZhnkWlg but that's everyone's

[forest elbow]

if i give a revival seed to a drone will it revive me

[rare flame]

hey uhhh for operator conduit canyon challenge... when do i need to be in the air? like, when tp starts charging? or when alloy hunter spawns?

[sharp whale]

Blast shower seems to not cleanse any amount of heat from solus wing 💀

[south egret]

it should cleanse and then as long as you’re still in range, you should immediately regain some again. Are you sure it’s not just restacking beat quickly?

[simple coyote]

pretty sure it’s when alloy hunter’s bar appears, but if that doesn’t work, just be safe and do the solus aswell

[winter dust]

it will. But itll also revive itself if its destroyed

So whatever happens first. It can also happen that it doesnt revive you since equipment drones only use their item if an enemy is in their proximity as far as i know so its a bit of a gamble

[simple coyote]

this is the main problem. the drone has to revive you in that brief window before the run menu comes up, which means it has to be under threat, and still have the original seed of life.
it’s very very unreliable, but it could revive you

[winter dust]

Yeah i think it could revive you if yade yade is the better answer

[glacial knoll]

it was fixed and it will revive you the frame you die

[simple coyote]

when was this cause I tried like a month ago

or, well, it must’ve used it on itself already I guess

[glacial knoll]

like idk a year ago yeah

[simple coyote]

are void seeds weighted differently between maps? and do they appear on every map or do they never spawn on some of them

[jaunty furnace]

the stupid 2 dlc limit is probably making them a lot rarer

i modded it out of my game the moment i heard about it

[glacial knoll]

Void stuff is the same weight on every map but other things have warying weights so it'll still be less or more common on some

[regal hound]

im trying to unlock the false son i already killed false son but i didnt have the aurelionite drop then i looped killed aurelionite and now when i do the shrine to open the green portal it just opens the gold portal is there any way to open the green one?

[south egret]

since you already defeated false son, you can’t defeat him again

[regal hound]

ah ok thx

[south egret]

this run*

[void rune]

At which point is a bad run too hard to recover from?

[south egret]

completely skill dependent. Also heavily depends what character you’re playing.
Generally, I’d say if your run is bad up to stage 3 and the legendary isn’t good on stage 4, that’s irrecoverable if you’re going to the moon

[jaunty furnace]

it can always turn around

but if the run is so abysmal that you stop having fun then theres no point in playing

[grand ore]

Hello, my game isn't showing stains/pools from attacks that leave some kind of texture on the ground (Beetle queen acid pools, CHEF's oil, Solus Incinerators black tar, etc.) anyone knows if there is a solution to this?
Im on PC, I set all graphic options to max but still nothing

[south egret]

got any mods?

[grand ore]

Yes, but it also happens when playing vanilla.

[south egret]

ok, good to know

[keen basin]

i just beat the game as void fiend trying to get some achievements but also the skin, but i dont have it after winning against mythrix. anyone know why?

[grand ore]

I think it is related to some kind of problem with the textures not showing or loading because artifact codes are also missing on all the stone tablets of the game lol

[high forum]

What difficulty were you on?

[keen basin]

rainstorm, dont tell me i need to beat it on monsoon or something

[south egret]

you need to beat it on monsoon or something

[keen basin]

fack 😔

[south egret]

lol

it’s called void fiend: mastery for a reason!

[heavy gorge]

How many functional couplers does Retool need in order to be able to have one of every equipment?

[keen basin]

im so stupid i didnt se the mastery bit lol

[heavy gorge]

Including the used tricorn

[keen basin]

but monsoon cant be that hard right?

[south egret]

there are 30 equipment in the game, so presumably 29

28 with retool*

[south egret]

it’s a bit harder than rainstorm i’d say

[keen basin]

trying now as atrificer so we'll se how it goes

[south egret]

time matters 50% more, and you regenerate less

[keen basin]

yikes, guess ill be moving quick

[grand ore]

Dont rush, looting everything is generally a better idea

[keen basin]

trying to get as much as i can without the difficulty going up to fast

[gritty vale]

which dlc is best for a new-ish player, I've completed most things pretty quick and I want a new character

[keen basin]

id say seekers of the storm of alloyed collective, their survivors are really fun

especially seeker and operator, both are great for getting to know some new items and what drones you should get first in runs. or atleast thats how i use em'. seeker was good for trying out items i dont normaly use because they were more focused on healing, but for seeker they were perfect

[grand ore]

Going in order is a good idea
Survivors>Seekers>Alloyed

[gritty vale]

any lore significance to each?

[gritty vale]

hmm word

[grand ore]

Void Crabs>Daddy issues>Skynet

[keen basin]

i think their all different storys, dont really know how much they connect though. really gotta look in to the lore more

[keen basin]

real

[gritty vale]

okay this makes sense thank you

so sotv first?

[keen basin]

think any of em are good picks but yeah, sotv is a good start

all the dlc's are great though, should get em all if you can

[lavish jacinth]

You should always full-clear even on monsoon, just try to be efficient about it

[gritty vale]

yeah I'm gonna be buying all over the next few weeks before I go for holiday I js don't wanna overbear myself with new things immediately it took me long enough to understand how ror2 base game works 😂

[keen basin]

fair, i can agree on all the new content being a bit much. i did the misstake of getting all at the same time and needing to learn a bunch of new things a little too fast. still a great experiance though, no matter what you do, if you like the base game then you'll love the dlc

[south egret]

lol
