ror2-game-questions

[stuck venture]

o have a recycler and a yellow printer

[mellow crystal]

shatterspleen or cherf

guaranteed bleed on backstab is really really good single-target while cherf is just stupid good overall

[livid wedge]

I'd go with shatterspleen

[stuck venture]

i also got

[livid wedge]

Since bandit has guaranteed crits

[stuck venture]

so i can go for procs

i rolled a charged perforator

and i already have a tri-tip

[mossy ledge]

something’s been bothering me since yesterday, I read about the gup enemy on the wiki and it says that it has been added to the game in Survivors of the Void DLC, however I am fairly certain that I have encountered it before (very very rarely though) in my game with no DLC purchased

I have noticed that the game can still apply DLC content though, like in the prismatic trials, I just can’t use the stuff in singleplayer obviously

[livid wedge]

Yes, prismatic trials do not care about which dlc you own

[mossy ledge]

okay uh I need to reword my question I think

[livid wedge]

If you are in a nonprismatic trials mode, gups will not spawn if sotv is not enabled

[mossy ledge]

oh… huh. that’s very odd. I have a vivid memory of seeing them in the first loop in sundered grove

thinking what a funny looking enemy

[livid wedge]

If you are playing coop with someone who has it then they will show up

But unless someone in the run has the dlc, they won't spawn

[mossy ledge]

I see. perhaps I misremember then and it was in a video I saw or something

thank you… uh, sentient pile of rats

very fitting profile picture

[stuck venture]

which drifter secondary is better? Cleanup or junk cube?

[mellow crystal]

cleanup is better with good junk management but junk cube is a lot easier to use

cleanup allows you to instantly burst down any enemy of your choice but only if you're always at a high amount of junk

junk cube is just reliable consistent aoe + single target damage

[stuck venture]

i played with both but i think cleanup has higher burst damage

you can even amination cancel

[mellow crystal]

cleanup also has a lot more item synergies
the projectiles it throws can trigger stuff like fireworks and on-kills

and in general cleanup is significantly better with proc items

[stuck venture]

yeah true

i heard more about junk cube but cleanup felt more powerful

[viral minnow]

cleanup can do good dmg (even better than junk cube), junk cube just deals good dmg right from the get go, it basicaly doesnt matter which one you prefer, both are good, i prefer junk cube

[solid glade]

Hook of Heresy for bandit yay or nay?

[viral minnow]

its kinda hard to aim this thing, will do more dmg, but hemorrhage is a nice debuff

[lavish jacinth]

I definitely would, hooks is crazy strong and bandit's m2 isn't that great

(the ingame description for hooks is wrong btw, it says 175% per second but it's actually 175% per tick. If you aim it right it'll do more damage in a few seconds than hemorrhage will over its entire duration, with a proc coeff)

[ebon fern]

ror2 crossplatform play when

i can't play with like any friends cause they're on different consoles and i'm on pc 😭

[lavish jacinth]

don't hold your breath for it

[jovial ivy]

What is a crab and why shall I push them off cliffs?

[boreal crown]

why am i not getting the acheivement

[pastel epoch]

Struggling to get a few enviroment scanners. I'm using artifact of sacrafice. Just want to be sure I'm not going crazy, but sacrafice doesn't cause enviroment scanners to not show up, right?

like ive probably visited night time disturbed alter like 4-5 times and still no scanner

[lavish jacinth]

no idea, as far as I can tell that should've counted

[lavish jacinth]

sacrifice makes them spawn slightly more, if anything

[lavish jacinth]

these things, you gotta loop for stage 6 titanic plains and chase them off the cliff

as for why, the devs enjoy trolling us I guess

it's a reference to a similar achievement in ror1, which was equally annoying and pointless

[trim lynx]

at least hermits try to run off the map

[pastel epoch]

no idea if it's a mod issue, i only use proper save, stage recap, and looking glass

what's the probability of radio scanners spawning?

[obtuse lava]

hey guys, I've been playing ror2 for a few years and getting all the achievements and filling out the logbook after each dlc drop but one of the logs I haven't been able to do it environment log, disturbed impact. I am aware that the log is bugged if you have titanic plains already and that it is POSSIBLE to get the radio tower to spawn if you play multilayer with someone who's on a fresh account but I want to know if anyone else has figured out a work around for this cause it's doing my head in

[marble osprey]

Modding the game makes it fairly easy, the mod RealerCheatUnlocks allows you to just go into the logbook and right click the entry to unlock it, or alternatively DebugToolkit can be used to manually spawn in the radio tower on disturbed impact, which you can then purchase as normal
I'm not aware of any vanilla way to do it besides the one you mentioned or simply waiting and hope they patch it when the next dlc comes out

[obtuse lava]

thank you so much! I will try it out when I play and hopefully I can get the logbook im missing

[untold tinsel]

Wait dies drifter bot get infinite scrap anymore

[ebon sierra]

Dissonance is crying bro

[outer skiff]

What's the ost that plays during the ending cutscene

[young geyser]

https://open.spotify.com/track/3tEnANZ8EeFj3FDBEYXQxG?si=d1b2af1ac2d14356

[north nexus]

Why is there no archievement for defeating Voidling? It feels like we did something wrong....

[cinder pasture]

my enemy is bugged? wont move or attack me. how do i fix this?

[jaunty furnace]

accept the miracle

[cinder pasture]

anyone else having problems with rex just getting out scaled quickly?

[viral minnow]

theres a reason that people think that he is one of the weakest survivors i guess

[lavish jacinth]

They don't spawn with dissonance

[drifting swan]

(the reason is blight)

[jaunty furnace]

?

[drifting swan]

blight is pretty good early but completely falls off late game unless you have a crazy damage multiplier

[jaunty furnace]

blight is an acrid skill

[drifting swan]

it's a passive

wait

i misread

for some reason i thought rex was acrid my bad

😭

[jaunty furnace]

also just because blight exists doesnt mean acrid is bad

[drifting swan]

i'm not saying that

[jaunty furnace]

default acrid is consistently strong and has crazy movement

[drifting swan]

to get back on the topic of rex

he's doesn't do much damage but has insane survivability

[mellow crystal]

idk about "not much damage" he has aoe infinite range captain m1 (dps-wise) and multiple tools to group enemies up for it

[dreamy pumice]

i just got the game is there any tips you that could benefit me?

[jaunty furnace]

loot the whole stage

use what you find to make your build as powerful as possible

[lavish jacinth]

In settings under the umbrella options thing, turn on 'enable inspect', it'll let you check what stuff does before you use it. Super helpful when you're new (and there's some other nice QoL stuff there too)

[rapid current]

whats the chance u get 4 mountain shirines on 4 player multiplayer on stage 1

bc i got it

also i got 4 on a 3 player multiplayer ont he first stage ( withouth prestige )

[lavish jacinth]

having more players does increase loot spawns, but 4 shrines is still pretty rare

[ancient current]

what dlc should i buy, should i wait until the next dlc comes out? (btw i just bought the game)

[jaunty furnace]

dlcs are not required

if you want one, get sotv

[static citrus]

Hello
I went back to playing ror2 in Steam Deck. We have a solution for the buggy texts?

I remember testing lsfg-vk and it solving the problem for a time. But now it's back and i have absolutely no idea how to fix it again.

I can use mods to fix it?

[strange isle]

So we would say it’s better to increase the difficulty by looting the whole stage than it is to speedrun and miss things?

[jaunty furnace]

by speedrunning youre gonna be speeding up the difficulty scaling faster anyway

full loot is pretty much just better

[jaunty furnace]

every stage passed increases the difficulty by a chunk and increases the scaling speed

[strange isle]

Thank u this helps a ton. Didnt know that

[lavish jacinth]

Items are how you get stronger, and you can never outrun the timer no matter how fast you go

so get everything you can, just try to be efficient and don't waste time

[shy halo]

15% more difficulty per stage stacking multiplicatively

[ebon sierra]

That's why I said that dumb dumb. Next time you should actually understand what I mean unless you were 2% drunk

[lavish jacinth]

thought you were implying I'd forgotten it was an option

[livid wedge]

Yeah, that was not obvious with your statement

[ebon sierra]

GET FLATLINED

[lavish jacinth]

maybe next time you should say things that are understandable

[livid wedge]

I was referring to yours, @ebon sierra

[ebon sierra]

that's a you problem. go back to speech

[livid wedge]

Not faxs

No, that's a you problem now

Anyway

[ebon sierra]

stop targetting me like a damn child

[livid wedge]

I'm not???

Anyway, moving on

[bitter steeple]

What’s the best way to deal with Mithrix second stage if you only have like 30 items

[livid wedge]

How are fighting him second stage?

[viral thistle]

Is it normal in eclipse for the only thing to spawn on sky medows being gups? (without artifacts)

[livid wedge]

Could be a family event

Is there a message in the chat log about strawberries?

[lavish jacinth]

Are you clearing stages thoroughly? 30 items sounds pretty low

but either way the strats don't really change, abuse the ramps whenever possible, punish him when he's vulnerable after attacking, and be ready to get close when he's about to do big spinny

[bitter steeple]

Kind of, it’s like I’ll pick up what I see and then I’ll see if I get a spot stuff during the run and run around after to find it

[lavish jacinth]

you always wanna full-clear

don't worry too much about the timer, just try to be efficient. Items are how you get stronger

[bitter steeple]

I’m somewhat visually impaired so sometimes it’s hard for me to spot boxes

[lavish jacinth]

fair enough, but still, it's worth spending the extra time to check

I've also got some more detailed tips for mithrix in the pins that might help

[livid wedge]

@lavish jacinth hey, you got a minute to test something?

[lavish jacinth]

sure, what's up

[livid wedge]

So, lookattree says that surviving 128 shaped glasses is possible with enough health

Despite the integer limit

[lavish jacinth]

gonna say no on that

[livid wedge]

Thankies

[paper isle]

Wonder what lookatthetree's source was

[livid wedge]

Probably that enough health would end up with not a zero

But the thing is is that integer is also the upper limit

Health can never be high enough to escape the shaped glass death because math

[lavish jacinth]

yep, and my health there was also at the integer limit so you literally cannot have more than that lol

[livid wedge]

hmmm

[lavish jacinth]

(and I did test with it slightly below the limit too just in case there was some fuckery going on there, still died)

[livid wedge]

Maybe growth nectar because it maths at a weird spot

[lavish jacinth]

could try that, gimme a sec

[livid wedge]

Like how it gives you 2 health with transcendance

[lavish jacinth]

already closed the game lol

[livid wedge]

sorry

[lavish jacinth]

nope

I had an aspect for a permanent buff

[livid wedge]

Thank you

[torpid fiber]

so theres gonna be a boardgame?

[livid wedge]

Soon™

[torpid fiber]

yippie, like a real physical boardgame or boardgame pc game?

[lavish jacinth]

a physical one

[torpid fiber]

ooooh even better

[lavish jacinth]

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/nerdvanagames/risk-of-rain-the-board-game

[torpid fiber]

i cant waittttt

THAT LOOKS SO FUN WHATTTT

[timber rapids]

is the alloy hunter known to bug out? was playing loader and once she fell below half she just stood in one spot spamming her laser/orbital attack and I couldn't actually get near her anymore

[lavish jacinth]

I've never seen that happen but it wouldn't surprise me

[ancient trout]

I once had a bug on that map that even after I activated all the pillars with the yellow items, I couldn't start the teleporter event. I used save mod, I recalled and same happened again and I had to end the run.

[boreal crown]

got it now, forgot you needed to interact with the shrine first

[shy halo]

and now you have a skill you'll never use because "GIT IN THE BAG" is just that good

[boreal crown]

i might try it once but honestly you're probably right

[nimble goblet]

hey guys, do the bands contribue to railgunners annihalate achievement? (do 1 mil dmg in one shot)

and when getting common items (command on) are glasses or crowbars better for it? since railgunner converts crit chance to crit dmg

[rapid current]

how do you rejoin the computational exchange once u leave it for the first time

[marble osprey]

bands do not, and crowbars are much better, they're a 75% damage increase while glasses are only a 5% damage increase

[nimble goblet]

Oh, damn, alright. Thanks!

[marble osprey]

delicate watches are also pretty good, they're a 20% damage increase, picking up some of those will be better than just stacking crowbars

[shy halo]

siren's call, kill the alloy worship unit before teleporter event
literally it, no more access nodes spawn after wing is dead

[peak holly]

You can kill false son to spawn a portal as well

[trim lynx]

they do

[marble osprey]

oh yeah been a while since i had to do that one, forgot it didnt have to be a direct hit from railgunner

but it does have to all come from the same hit, you can't have the original shot do 250,000 damage and the bands do 750,000 damage

the band proc itself would have to do all 1 million damage

so ice band does help, fire band not really

[livid wedge]

It can be split amongst multiple enemies as well

[shy halo]

shoot a horde of beetles to death

[livid wedge]

Honestly, yeah

[strong carbon]

Did they ever improve on engineers mobile turrets?

[tidal helm]

genuinely what are the items I should get if I’m playing Artificer, like all of them

[quick flicker]

Hey i have question if you have someone join a game or play multiplayer does having that person change the difficulty of the game? As opposed to solo play?

[marble osprey]

Yes, the enemies are harder to compensate for you having a teammate, and more items will spawn as well

[quick flicker]

@marble osprey ok cool thankyou im trying to unlock void fiend on simulacrum and was gonna play multiplayer but might just stick to solo lol

[marble osprey]

I will say the game is usually a bit easier with multiplayer, the advantages of having a teammate outweigh the negatives
People in #lfg-pc-ror2 would probably be happy to help you out with unlocking them

[quick flicker]

Ok does ROR2 do cross-platform? As im on console

[marble osprey]

Ah no it doesn't so you'd want the lfg channel for whatever console you're on instead, idk how active those ones are personally bc im not a console player tho

[quick flicker]

Ok cool thankyou for your help muchly appreciated!!

[marble osprey]

Pretty much, she can use most items pretty well
She especially likes any kind of cooldown reduction or extra ability charges because she likes to use all her abilities as frequently as possible
She also really likes ignition tank and noxious thorn for their synergy with her primary
Crit-focused items are a little worse on her than most other survivors since a lot of her damage comes from burn which can't crit, same thing with bleed-focused items, she doesn't have a super fast fire rate so she can't apply bleed very well
Items centered around her being close to an opponent or that spawn things on the ground aren't great assuming you're running her alt special to fly everywhere, and hopoo feather is also not great for similar reasons

[agile crystal]

Hiking boots are especially great for her

Though that depends if youre running her surge

[winter flint]

Do you guys think the solus boss or a clay dunestrider would be easier for my mercenary: ethereal run?

[agile crystal]

Dunestrider but you gotta be ready to dip the second you pass his threshold

OHHH

[jaunty furnace]

do you know how hikers boots works

[winter flint]

okay bet just stay in his like mid-area right?

[agile crystal]

Actually nah nvm, the solus unit little guys would just ruin it if youre going for witless

[agile crystal]

Doesn't it increase her damage when youre above an enemy?

Technically (crit chance not damage)

And damage too I forgot

[jaunty furnace]

when you hit an enemy that is even slightly below you, you get the buff
you will keep the buff until you leave combat

no need to even stay midair

[agile crystal]

True true

But without feathers and for bigger enemies itll be useful regardless

[jaunty furnace]

yes

[marble osprey]

disagree, she can get the buffs super easily, but anyone can, hikers boots are super generous with what they consider "above", jumping and shooting a beetle or something is enough to get the max stacks, and crit just inherently isn't quite as good on her bc it doesn't synergize well with burn

[pastel elbow]

guys risk of rain enthusiasts and DLC owners I need your guys advice.

me and a friend of mine are interested in getting all of the DLC, however it seems like only one person needs to own the DLC for the content to be accessible by both in coop. Here is my question:

• Let's say I own Seekeers of the Storm and Survivors of the Void and he owns Alloyed Collective and we both play together, will we have access to all of the DLC content or only the DLC content of whoever is the host at the time?

-If we have access to both, which DLC('s) should I buy? I play the game much more than he does, he never plays solo but I do

if this is not the right place to ask then please let me know where to go!

[tidal helm]

oh dang thank you

[peak holly]

In multiplayer, it’s possible for all players to access content from all DLC’s that any player owns, except the survivors

And the logbook entries

But if the scenario you describe came to fruition you and your friend would be able to access all the in-run content from all three DLC’s

As long as you are playing together

Sotv and AC are my recommendations if you could only buy two for your single player runs

[fathom jewel]

I have a question

If you have a clover and a purity

Will the roll be positive or negative

[livid wedge]

They cancel out

[mellow crystal]

they cancel out like rats said
more specifically clover increases the luck stat by 1 and purity decreases it by 1

so if you have 2 clovers and 1 purity it's like having 1 clover

[fathom jewel]

Hmm

I have a build idea

[stoic river]

I have a quick question, if you disable dlc, like for example I disable SOTV dlc, what exactly is disabled, and what isn't? (Like items, enemy spawns, etc)

[jaunty furnace]

everything except survivors

but even some of them get slightly bugged when their dlc is disabled

[wind kernel]

Is there a way to cheese with drifter

Like put engiturrets on weird stage geometry

[nimble goblet]

guys. how the hell do i get annihilator for railgunner?? i cant seem to get it for the life of me

[wind kernel]

Shaped glass, bands/crowbar, delicate watch

Easiest way just stack shaped glass

[nimble goblet]

i see. i have a huge skill issue though, as the moment i spawned in when i stacked glass, i got one shot by a wisp.

[rapid current]

you mean putting normal turrets on top of the buttons in abandoned aquadukt

[wind kernel]

Go on command stack 5 shaped glass, hit newt with bonus damage (perfect reload) + supercharge

[nimble goblet]

omg

newt is hittable

tysm

[slender drum]

Guys . How do u unlock engineer?

[wind kernel]

That but like, i wanna see how far i can push it

[slender drum]

Im new to the game so i dont have him yet but i heard his op

[nimble goblet]

you literally just play the game

[jaunty furnace]

not really

[nimble goblet]

once you complete 30 stages worth of stuff over a bunch of runs, you get engi

[jaunty furnace]

you should play whoever you find most fun instead of most powerful anyway

[nimble goblet]

engi is super fun imo

[slender drum]

Oh okay thanks

[wind kernel]

I feel like any survivor is fun to play

[slender drum]

But i tried every charcter i have and only have fun with bandit so i thought maybe engii's gonna be fun besides bandit

And i main engi in tf2 so i thought im gonna main him here too

Dont get me wrong i rlt like the game but i feel other characters i have are jst underpowered

[wind kernel]

Rez

Rex main be like

[crude creek]

https://klipy.com/gifs/true-truth-nuke-1

[slender drum]

Bro who tf is that?😭

Sry i dont have all the characters

[wind kernel]

I would say its hard to get it

[crude creek]

thats the one that looks like a plant

[wind kernel]

As in unlocking the survivor

[slender drum]

I saw some guy on yt playing him but i dunt know anything else abt him

[crude creek]

He is the self-harm character

[slender drum]

He does dmg to himself??

[crude creek]

yes

[slender drum]

That doesnt sound too good

[crude creek]

he is

he can do a ton of damage

[shy halo]

i mean repossess can be used to yeet enemies into the death barrier even if they fly

bosses are immune to the sack though

[shy halo]

his s1 does 1 trillion heals per heal

[slender drum]

Dayum

Seems balanced

[crude creek]

https://klipy.com/gifs/skeptical-futurama

[crude creek]

hmmmm

[shy halo]

spend HP to make the damage, do damage to get the hp
in the end you're still getting 2 shot by any somewhat stronger than a lemurian enemy

[crude creek]

lol

[frosty reef]

That's what the primary attack debuff is for

[crude creek]

Hello Cap_

[slender drum]

Oh okay so he is good but hard

[shy halo]

his utility only works to move you when you're airborne

[slender drum]

Cool

Who do u main?

[shy halo]

and if you spam your good skills you might lose track of your HP

[keen thistle]

Is there a way to increase the amount of shield HP you get with transcendence besides getting more?

[jaunty furnace]

health increasing items

[lavish jacinth]

it scales off of how much HP you would've had without transc, so health upgrades will still work

[keen thistle]

Oh so getting smth like a stone flux pauldron would increase your shield hp?

[lavish jacinth]

yeah

[jaunty furnace]

...but you probably shouldnt

[pastel elbow]

alright so i think im gonna buy sotv and ac and tell him to buy sots

[boreal crown]

can someone explain why i didn't get the achievement here?

[livid wedge]

Which one?

[boreal crown]

That all you got? operator achievement (the one that unlocks his alt secondary)

[livid wedge]

Was it 5 unique enemy types?

[lavish jacinth]

you have to kill four different types of enemies

[livid wedge]

Right 4

[lavish jacinth]

it looks like the ricochet only hit the wisps and an imp, the rest of the kills were from procs

[boreal crown]

oh so procs don't count?

[lavish jacinth]

nope, has to be the skill itself

[boreal crown]

does lost seer's lenses + deus ex machina cheese work though?

[lavish jacinth]

that does work, yeah

[boreal crown]

alr i got it on accident instead lmao

[keen thistle]

How'd ya get that little stat thing on the side? Is it a mod?

[boreal crown]

yeah it's called "LookingGlass"

[keen thistle]

thanks

[boreal crown]

no problem

[hazy willow]

I maxed out the halycon shrine but it hasn't spawned the boss thingy

nvm

bad spawn point

[mint folio]

was playing False Son with 10 stacks of Stone Flux Pauldron (for the protein heavy diet achievement). Had to use the alt special to propel myself forwards.

Is it normal for that to happen while going that slowly?

[livid wedge]

With 10? Absolutely

[mint folio]

it was happening with 5 as well

[lavish jacinth]

...you know what stone flux pauldron does, right?

[mint folio]

yeah

I just was unsure why I could use the alt special to propel myself

[mellow crystal]

it does self knockback
just more noticeable when you let it build up with a bunch of stacks

[mint folio]

ohhhhhhhhhh

that makes a lot of sense

thx

[marble osprey]

try using it on the moon, with the gravity there it can be a pillar skip if you have enough stacks lol

[mint folio]

damn, didn't know the knockback was that crazy

[marble osprey]

its mostly just to do with how knockback stacks in this game, using multiple things that give knockback simultaneously/close to the same time adds them all together and gives crazy results

loader has some tech based around that, railgunner can do something similar with stacking momentum from jumping + a mine detonating + her special firing all at the same time to get insane height, etc

but yeah try just like looking down, jumping, and spam firing all the specials

[lavish jacinth]

movement speed also affects acceleration/deceleration which can do weird things with physics

[trim lynx]

@strong lance stagevariety mod is cool, i recommend giving it a shot if not already done

[strong lance]

ill check it out 🫡

[trim lynx]

most of the variants dont change pathing much tho

[hazy willow]

haven't seen any multishops in a very good many runs

[lavish jacinth]

are you using command?

[hazy willow]

yeah

I guess it removes multishops?

btw, does anyone know if there is an equipment you can use to do the abandoned aqueduct pressure plates

[lavish jacinth]

[lavish jacinth]

and yeah, it does

[hazy willow]

do those come in regular equipment barrels

[marble osprey]

technically also i think but not very reliably

[marble osprey]

no, its a lunar

[hazy willow]

ugh

I'm trying to do it with loaders pylon right now

[marble osprey]

oh yeah thats a pain

[lavish jacinth]

you could use to drag pots around, if there are any left and don't feel like rolling them

[hazy willow]

you can roll the pots?

[marble osprey]

yeah but its extremely annoying to do

[lavish jacinth]

if you sprint at them you can kinda shove them around

[hazy willow]

I did it

thanks guys

[marble osprey]

gj lol

[hexed jewel]

if i kill alloy hunter, solus wing, then solus heart and loop can i go back to them

[livid wedge]

You can only go back to the computational exchange stage with the chef

[hexed jewel]

💔

i assume alloy hunter drops a logbook and there isnt one hidden on the stage right

cuz im js tryna get alloy hunter logbook but i wanna make sure i have like 100 clovers before i go js so i can get the logbook

[marble osprey]

alloy hunter does, yeah. solus wing doesn't tho, it has one hidden on the stage

[hexed jewel]

yeah ik i already have every logbook besides hunter

[marble osprey]

i think its the only enemy like that

[hexed jewel]

im looping hella getting a lot of clovers so i can get alloy hunters book first try but ran into a slight issue

[marble osprey]

yeah i would advise not taking proc items when farming clovers

[hexed jewel]

its js i dont wanna get one shot by a celestine or something

[mellow crystal]

I'd also recommend taking Regen scrap for 90% of your greens so you can turn them into clovers at bazaar soups

• on drifter it's infinite regen

[marble osprey]

yeah but theres plenty of ways to deal tons of damage without needing it

like stacking a ton of gasoline and ignition tanks is what i go to for that kind of thing

[mellow crystal]

Wonderful

[hexed jewel]

imma js reload the game with proper save and hope i find a scrapper instantly

so scrap like every proc item

[mellow crystal]

Scrappers don't spawn with command

[hexed jewel]

💔

[marble osprey]

id also recommend getting a sonorous whispers, with so many clovers itll be basically guaranteed free items every time you kill an elite

[hexed jewel]

i was thinking this but i have like 5 junk drones itll be kinda hard to find which item isnt temp

[mellow crystal]

Junk drones pretty much always spawn groups of items past stage 3 or so so that should help

[marble osprey]

why are you grabbing junk drones that sounds incredibly annoying on command

[mellow crystal]

That too

[hexed jewel]

cuz i got like 4 energy cores

gotta make sure they as strong as possible ✌️

[marble osprey]

i mean you do you ig

[hexed jewel]

i rarely ever use command im not good at ts 💔

[marble osprey]

yeah same, i just like overthinking about how to optimize everything lmao

[hexed jewel]

fair

[marble osprey]

also i did a similar thing recently

[hexed jewel]

im ngl i might just cheat for environment logs

[marble osprey]

yeah theyre annoying to get and one is still bugged

[hexed jewel]

which one

distrubed impact?

[marble osprey]

disturbed impact

[hexed jewel]

i thought they fixed it

[marble osprey]

not to my knowledge but maybe

debugtoolkit and/or realercheatunlocks give easy ways to get environment logs if you do decide to go that rout

[hexed jewel]

yeah i use realercheatunlocks

disturbed impact is the only one ive used it on though

looping is just so boring imo

[marble osprey]

yeah agreed

im still annoyed i did a giga loop, got 100 clovers, and voidling still didnt drop his log

[hexed jewel]

😭

i dont even remember getting it

most likely this run where i was getting every artifact and logbook

voidlings is probably the hardest cuz it can js fall into the void though

[marble osprey]

im only missing voidling and the environment logs for the new stage 3 and its loop variant

[hexed jewel]

ah

i need loop variant for new stage 3 and the new stage 4

[marble osprey]

fair

if you wanna go for those lmk, i still need to get them and more credits from multiplayer should make them more likely to spawn

[wind ridge]

Which is a better dlc to get? The survivors or the seekers?

[peak holly]

Survivors of the void

Or sotv

[wind ridge]

Ohh

[elfin ember]

Can anyone tell me how Engineer is so good and how do I use him? Because I've heard of how overpowered he can be, but I don't really know how to play him

[peak holly]

You put the turrets down

If you have bungus they are way better, put them next to each other so they can benefit from both instances

Try to put them on points of elevation when you can but anywhere is usually fine

I personally think engineer is comparatively weaker than most survivors but some people will tell you he’s top five🤷

Items like razorwire are also good

Power elixir (dlc) and dios best friend are also good because they get new instances every time you replace them

[granite thorn]

any tips for beating on monsoon? I haven’t played in a long time and I didn’t get that far with dicovering a bunch of items

[cinder pasture]

can i ask about lore here or is there a better place?

[peak holly]

#theorycrafting

Loreheads in there could answer any questions

[native siren]

im getting server full when trying to play multiplayer on steam but its still 3/4 players

is it because i used mods previously or what

[young geyser]

watch a good player do a run on YouTube and see how they clear and spend time and mimic and u will kind of just intuit the good habits

don't watch one that's just a god run ofc

[jaunty furnace]

dont rush

items are more important than time

so loot everything and optimize your build with whatever tools you can find (scrappers, printers etc)

[viral minnow]

also acording to your role that you like drifter-drifter has basically the best tools to create builds (tinker) so make advantage of that, but yea, scrappers and printers are key to have good build

[raven depot]

does the void collapse scale with thr damage of the attack or no?

im playing railgunner and I wanna know if its worth investing the items into a printer

[jaunty furnace]

no

[raven depot]

:((

lame

[mellow crystal]

300% base damage, so no

[lavish jacinth]

*400%

[mellow crystal]

knew it was off

must be thinking of the fucking operator m2s 😭

[trim lynx]

may i interest you in

[wind kernel]

*300% when using supercharge

[rapid current]

how do yo go to the komputational exhange after defeating solus wing and leaving

kan you use the little orb thing at the new stage 4 or going to prime merdian

and going to the virtual portal from there

[shy halo]

kill alloy worship unit or use the prime merdian portal

[stuck venture]

if i have 5 goat hoofs and a lensmaker printer stage 2 do i print crit or not?

no scrap or scrapper on the stage

[lavish jacinth]

might be worth getting a couple, unless you have other good white items you don't want to lose

[stuck venture]

i have 6 goat hoofs 2 opals 1 mocha 1 repulsion armor plate 1syringe and a watch nad a sticky bomb

i printed 5 glasses

[lavish jacinth]

well I was gonna say that your damage is probably okay without the crit, but up to you lol

dps-wise, crit is worse than watch and maybe syringe, and about equal to sticky, but you get way more damage from having a variety of items instead of just stacking one

[rapid current]

should i print something with 24 red scrap or do i keep it on drifter

i still havent found a red printer on stage 15

[lavish jacinth]

red printers are rare as hell

[rapid current]

im gonna stay in the run until my pw5 crashes

[lavish jacinth]

but if you find a decent place to spend it then yeah, might as well

[rapid current]

is there a point in the game where yellow and green printers and scrappers stop spawning

i havent seen those in a while

[shy halo]

no, stage credits are unaffected by time or difficulty

[jaunty furnace]

you can just grab a #roles to get image perms

[stuck venture]

oh i forgot you can do that

[shy halo]

you readn't the rules

[stuck venture]

little desciple

[rapid current]

should i invest my 26 red scrap into pocket icbms i have 10 atgs

[shy halo]

yes, triple missiles + 1250% damage

[rapid current]

i am alredy one shotting everithing

[shy halo]

now the missiles can 1 shot things for you

[rapid current]

and i have 6 pocket icbms at the moment

[jaunty furnace]

sounds like youre looping so nothing matters

do what you want

youre not gonna get good red printers very often

might aswell print some

[remote current]

does alter aboudes stage have its own radar scan log?

[shy halo]

ye

[rapid current]

i think you are wrong

cuz i havent found a single green printer

[trim lynx]

they are correct

[rapid current]

or a scrapper

i dont think im that unlucky to not find a green printer or a scrapper in 20 stages

[hazy willow]

Should I try doing Mithrix at this point

I lost the last stage before with way worse items

[hazy willow]

Does a halycon shrine always spawn on reformed altar?

haven't been able to find it the last couple of runs

[marble osprey]

wait i was thinking of the wrong stage, but still no

i dont believe theres any guaranteed halcyon shrines, theyre just much more likely on stage 1 and slightly more likely on stages from the sots dlc

[sacred bridge]

Can i use trophy hunter’s tricorn on alloy worship dlc last boss?

[jaunty furnace]

you cannot use it on final bosses

[vernal oasis]

Is drifter still useable for big damage or are they too outclassed for it to be worth?

I really love her gameplay but man she feels weak lol

[lavish jacinth]

of course she's usable lol

all of the survivors are

[fiery island]

What does the gold statue do

[lavish jacinth]

Drifter doesn't have the best dps but she makes up with it with really good item macro, and cleanup has some strong synergies with its random projectiles

[lavish jacinth]

spawns a portal to gilded coast once you charge the teleporter

[fiery island]

Oh ok

[vernal oasis]

For big damage specifically, though

[livid wedge]

She's not a burst character

[vernal oasis]

I know, she’s mostly utility

[livid wedge]

No?

[vernal oasis]

If not utility, then what?

[livid wedge]

She can deal a lot of damage, what are you on

[vernal oasis]

I mean sure, but not Comparatively

[lavish jacinth]

I mean... she IS very utility-focused

[vernal oasis]

She repositions enemy units rerolls shops and printers that’s utility to me

[lavish jacinth]

but yeah, she is also good at doing damage

[vernal oasis]

How? M2?

[lavish jacinth]

yea

[livid wedge]

Yes

[vernal oasis]

Even with that, I find it to be underwhelming, but it’s possible I’m underutilizing her kit

[livid wedge]

Grab a chest with the bag, alternative between beating your sac for junk and throwing cleanup

Absolutely needed to say it that way, too

[vernal oasis]

I’ve been doing that, it’s been helpful. Just wondering if there’s anything else I should be doing

[livid wedge]

That's kind of her damage

[vernal oasis]

The easy solution would be to run back to bandit or false son lmao but I’d rather make her work as well as I can

[lavish jacinth]

her dps definitely isn't as consistent as other survivors, cleanup literally does random damage with its different projectiles

but those projectiles can also do things like proc on-kill or on-interact items

[livid wedge]

I like playing her

[vernal oasis]

Do yall prefer tinker or scavenge (or whatever it’s called, the item spawn)

I imagine junk cube is obsolete atp

[livid wedge]

Tinker feels too stronk

[lavish jacinth]

I think cleanup, reposess and tinker is her strongest loadout

but cube IS fun to use

I really wish they'd given it some extra effects so it could actually compete with all of cleanup's synergies

[vernal oasis]

Yeah, I get the nerf’s purpose, I just wish cube had a little more utility

[livid wedge]

Infinite junk was waaaaaaaay too strong

[vernal oasis]

Agreed

Personally though, I think it being reduced could’ve been a fine solution

But then again, I get not wanting to generate junk from the characters own move economy

[lavish jacinth]

Not sure how they could've reduced it, it's either infinite or it isn't

[vernal oasis]

Limit it to four pieces per cube

[lavish jacinth]

That's still infinite junk

You'd just have to wait for the natural cooldown on cube

[vernal oasis]

Well I don’t consider a cooldown barrier making it infinite

That’s like saying void fiend has infinite heals like you’re technically right but also it’s way too inefficient

[jaunty furnace]

would you rather have massive control over trishops, printers, cauldrons, halcyon fragments, void potentials and a portable scrapper, or 4 disappearing items

[vernal oasis]

Lmao I know people who prefer the four items

I did not know it affected cauldrons though wtf

Wait, can it reroll in the bazaar?

[jaunty furnace]

yes

[vernal oasis]

🗿

Are we deadass

[lavish jacinth]

I think that was part of why the infinite junk got nerfed lol

[vernal oasis]

How would I get the junk for that though, does it carry over from last location?

[jaunty furnace]

yes, but if you want to reroll twice youll have to hit newt a bit

if you are too powerful you may just get kicked out though

[vernal oasis]

Lmao

If only you could carry objects between levels

That would be hilarious

[lavish jacinth]

You could probably do some isaac-level run rigging with that

Which would be kinda cool but I can understand why they wouldn't do it lol

It would also probably completely destroy the game because ror2's code is held together with duct tape and glitter glue

[tribal belfry]

What's generally a better strategy, full looting every stage or running through as fast as possible to keep the difficulty low?

[mellow crystal]

full looting

difficulty is based on time and stage count so you can't really outrun the scaling, you can only outdo it with items

[tribal belfry]

epic ok

[marble osprey]

the issue was that they could use it in the bazaar to repeatedly spawn temp items with her special, meaning you can just sit there where time doesnt pass and get infinite items since the timer on temp items doesnt go down until you pick them up

so just decreasing it doesnt stop that, just makes it slower

[vernal oasis]

imagine taking a legendary chest with you

[vernal oasis]

solid point

[vernal oasis]

imo, it also varies depending on if youre running solo or not

overaccommodating for others taking their time can bite you in the ass if youre not careful

(i speak from experience, lol)

[marble osprey]

i mean the same goes for solo, you can waste time just as much as your teammates can lol

speed isn't the most important thing, but its not entirely irrelevant either

[vernal oasis]

true, but in my experience, you then have the added issue of trying to make sure everyones getting enough items, which throttles your efficiency

but i agree with what youre saying

[vernal oasis]

is it better to stack lots of scrap as drifter, or to use it on printers?

[lavish jacinth]

better to spend it if you get a good printer imo

[vapid quarry]

It's really up to the printer

[lavish jacinth]

although keeping some green scrap can be nice

especially since drifter occasionally needs to facetank a few hits while getting junk with her primary

[marble osprey]

Just treat them as you would any other item if you had a scrapper on the same stage
Like a white scrap is a bit less move speed than a mocha, so you ask if you're willing to trade that much speed for the item, same way you'd consider if you'd scrap another item to be able to print it
Same for a green scrap, it has the same health regen as a slug, so you ask if you want to trade that for the new item
In many circumstances, it may be worth losing one or two, but using all of them would be too much, since then you wouldn't have any health regen, which is a problem

[vernal oasis]

right, that makes sense. but then what about higher rarities, like yellow and red scrap?

I'm not sure if the cost is worth it

Unless i get a terrible red, i suppose, haha.

[marble osprey]

Are you asking if its worth it to scrap red and yellow items, or to use red and yellow scrap to print new ones?

[vernal oasis]

scrapping red and yellows in general

[marble osprey]

Red scrap is only worth 2 syringes, so it's pretty easy ro decide: if the item is absolutely dogshit, scrap it; if you see a good red printer or white soup, use it

[vernal oasis]

right, that makes sense too

[marble osprey]

Yellow items are kinda either really good or really not, but yellow scrap is 15% cooldown reduction which is really nice imo

[vernal oasis]

yeah its like a discount alien head

lmao

[marble osprey]

So like genesis loop, knurl, beetle guard, etc, scrap that shit instantly

[vernal oasis]

what about the cuffs that remove fall damage

ive seen people rank it high, but i always have found it very underwhelming for a legendary

[marble osprey]

? I'm not the biggest fan of it either, and drifter is already perfectly capable of negating fall damage on her own. Red scrap really isn't that good though and red printers are pretty rare, so i would probably take it

They can deal some decent damage too tho

[lavish jacinth]

10,000% damage slam with a 100m radius

[marble osprey]

They're not just fall damage reduction

[lavish jacinth]

technically they're a top-tier red, they just kinda suck to use

[marble osprey]

Sure, but that's only if you have a consistent way to get 150m up in the air

[lavish jacinth]

there's also that, yeah. But even if you can't get max height, they can still do really respectable damage

[marble osprey]

With the caveat that to use it, you're heading in a straight line towards the enemy. I've been one-shot by a blast of elder lemurian fireballs because I tried to use them

I'm just not the biggest fan

[lavish jacinth]

the issue I usually have is that the auto-target sucks ass

I love wasting my 10k band proc on a random wisp 20 meters away instead of the boss that was directly below me

[marble osprey]

And sometimes hitting an enemy is wonky and you just bounce off
Like in theory they're good but in practice? I'm just not that happy to see them

Also they make it harder to self-proc deus ex machina so f tier /j

Anyway, despite all that, i still wouldn't scrap them as drifter, it's just 2 syringes. Red scrap is easily the worst scrap for her imo

And in general tbh

[lavish jacinth]

drifter does get decent value out of attack speed tbf, but yeah

[storm junco]

Will you add risk of rain to vr

[weak marsh]

Hi, does anyone have item build tips like what items to get early game then after that what to stack on on loader or mercenary with the choosing item artifact cus my friend puts it on, I just got the game like a day ago and lowk just pick whtever or is there

[cedar ocean]

If you have bands unlocked stack bands for loader, maybe watches, for merc I’m not sure because I don’t play him much

Also crowbars for loader

For merc is think possibly proc items like atg, pretty fast attack speed, merc has horrible survivabilty at the start of the run so maybe repulsion armor

That’s all I got

[lethal wasp]

There’s a mod for this I think

[cedar ocean]

Does anyone know how to like actually get slicing winds

Because this is genuinely the 7th circle

I’m not good enough for no hit

[cedar ocean]

Guessing I just have to get a good seed and get brooch and such

Because slicing winds seems so good to me but it’s so miserable to get

[shy halo]

#prismatic-trials go watch the videos of the guy whos main thing is doing ethereal on every prismatic trial

[cedar ocean]

Name?

[shy halo]

the guy literally posts the videos to the channel, its the only youtube link

[young geyser]

It's just objectively better than default R in every way and worth getting.

If u don't wanna deal w prismatics there are other ways. All I'll say is achievements are stored locally as a true/false text doc

[cedar ocean]

The console effect

[young geyser]

😔

getting it hitless on console is actually hard mode

good luck my goat it's a stupid achievement

[cedar ocean]

Thank you 🥹

[young geyser]

I pray for baby seed tommorow 🙏

[cedar ocean]

Just had about a 4 hour nap so I’m not gonna be falling asleep anytime soon.

The grind

[young geyser]

U stack what everyone else also likes.

If you're not confident in your ability to stay healthy don't overcommit on watches, get a good spread of %dmg increase as multiple sources of dmg boost is better than a fuck ton of one normally

psg + the green item that gives your shield armor is very comfy as well as opals and maybe 1-2 repulsion plates to keep chip damage to a minimum

learning how to cancel the startup animation of your 3rd M1 hit with M2 or Shift or R will lead to noticeably more/quicker dmg with less commitment

[cedar ocean]

Transcendence

That is all I will say

[young geyser]

yeah u choose to use blue items u can trivialise survivability and dmg

[cedar ocean]

Lunar items are indeed busted but some of them are just

Long standing solitude plus stone flux on false son

Very balanced

[young geyser]

They're either game warping busted or meme items

[cedar ocean]

Or it’s something like

[young geyser]

I lwk just see them as accessibility option to be able to get to a spot u need to get op which is fine.

Heretic is cool af tho

[cedar ocean]

That one that’s like opposite clovers but reduces cooldowns

[young geyser]

I wish blue items were disabled in eclipse

[cedar ocean]

I hate that one so much

It’s horrible

[young geyser]

Yeah that one is insane

[cedar ocean]

No proc items for me

[young geyser]

it's awful on some chars and insane on others

[cedar ocean]

I still wish lights out was on a character with longer cooldowns

That would be so nice

I wish the different ability kits were more balanced around each other and there wasn’t one on most characters that is just clearly better in every way

[young geyser]

dlc issue :( loader biggest exception

her kit inherently broken even if they reduced her dmg by 50%

[cedar ocean]

Also false son needs a bit of a nerf

The growth mechanic is just

Unfair

[young geyser]

I wish false son was less bonkers, he is a lot of fun to play but going godmode the second u get an infusion or beads and 1 dmg item and then game becomes boring

[cedar ocean]

Also alternate kit is actually stupid

Who thought growth increasing laser burst charges was a good idea

[young geyser]

I think alt kit is fine outside of laser burst being better almost always

alt right click feels pretty not as good until u come fully online

[shy halo]

laser burst makes m2 op

[cedar ocean]

And the laser of the father is so bad too

It’s kind of ridiculous

[shy halo]

charge, slow while use, and sprint ends it

[cedar ocean]

What’s the proc co on each laser tick though?

It feels so low

[young geyser]

very low hehe

[shy halo]

.45

[cedar ocean]

If they increased it I think it would be a passable ability

[young geyser]

high key laser of the father is fine

[shy halo]

according to wiki

[young geyser]

laser burst is so stupid it just makes it look really bad in comparison

[cedar ocean]

Also lunar stakes are just

Ridiculous

[shy halo]

only think holding lunar stakes back is single shot

[cedar ocean]

The right angle and 30
Percent more damage with every button press

[young geyser]

I think needs adjust but not as bad as burst

I genuinely prefer default m2 unless I'm looping

[shy halo]

just being able to easily stay unloaded at high stock makes default s2 better

[young geyser]

ye for sure, alt m2 ability to stack 100000 lunar ruin in aoe scenarios is absurd tbh

[cedar ocean]

The health regen buff on spikes though

Balanced indeed

[young geyser]

op char frfr

[cedar ocean]

Still funnest to play in my opinion followed by merc and operator

[young geyser]

my gf played him and I was like yeah he was way better on release as well

[shy halo]

piercing with a lightning strike for every enemy hit

[cedar ocean]

And possibly drifter and loader

[young geyser]

commando fun too :D

he just ground operator

[cedar ocean]

I despise commando with every single cell in my body

[shy halo]

he had a bug that let him infinite fall with charge slam by just jumping and releasing at the same time

[cedar ocean]

I would not play commando to save the planet from collapse

[young geyser]

do u have all his alt abilities unlocked

[cedar ocean]

No because I’m not looping to stage 20 on a character I don’t enjoy

[shy halo]

and then mortar the whole stage by jumping or using util upwards

[young geyser]

That's rlly fair another dumb achievement why do u have to do it on mando

the alt special is good though

[shy halo]

i did it for the completionisming

[young geyser]

just flat out better than default R unless Ur looping or get rlly lucky

[cedar ocean]

I’m 88 percent at the moment I think

But most of the stuff I have left is bs

[shy halo]

i need to get sheart on him and acrid

and then prime meridian on railgunner and then i got 100% achievements

[cedar ocean]

Prime meridian railgunner skin is actually beautiful

One of my favorites

Seeker mastery can’t really
Be competed with though

[shy halo]

i prefer the blank faceplate on default seeker

[cedar ocean]

Just the gold accents

Also collective captain is perfect in every way

Also collective engi

[shy halo]

decompile is boring skin series

[cedar ocean]

All the reject ones are absolutely beautiful though

Except for huntress that one sucks

Genuinely my dog after seeing the engi skin

[shy halo]

birdface but its beetle guard

[cedar ocean]

Tears of joy

Or he’s just high asf I can’t tell

[shy halo]

salvaged engie is good

[cedar ocean]

Exactly

Wish I could play on pc and get factorio engi

But

[shy halo]

but seriously, why huntress got the bird skull vertically instead of horizontally like a plague doctor

[cedar ocean]

Yeah I hate it

I do think that collective had the best skins out of all the dlcs

I still stand on the fact that dead cells merc skin is the best one

I will DIE on this hill

[shy halo]

"the best skin is the non-ror one"

[cedar ocean]

But it’s just so cool

Also the other merc skins in my opinion just lack something

Idk they just feel kinda bland

[storm junco]

Talus two things one I killed newt and two will you add ror2 to vr

[lavish jacinth]

Why would you want ror2 in vr

There used to be a mod for it but it doesn't work anymore, and I can confirm that ror2 plays like ass in vr

[jaunty furnace]

is it really that bad

[lavish jacinth]

It's a fast-paced game that requires constant movement and situational awareness, things that really don't work in vr

[sly bison]

Hello super new player, I went through the encrypted portal, and midway throgh the area i realized all my stuff was being converted?

is there something in there converting all my items without me realizing?

i ended up with 24 oddly shaped opal and dont know how lmao

[lavish jacinth]

Did you use this thing

[blissful hedge]

Im in the middle of a run right now, what does each alignment for the primordial teleporter do?

[high forum]

when the 'wings' of it are all lined up = loop back to the first set of levels
when the 'wings' are spread out = go to final level

[viral minnow]

i have a problem with game crashing beacause theres to much going on in this void seed, void monsters fight normal and if i try to destroy them the game just freeze it self

any ideas how to prevent lag?

(i tried restarting the game with save mod but it always freezes after 5-10 seconds)

[stuck venture]

what is better? a single or a

[lavish jacinth]

Lowering graphical settings usually helps, but if you're that deep into a run then it's probably just down to your PC being good enough

[lavish jacinth]

Cherf

Unless you have pocket icbm

But cherf is basically just an atg with higher damage

[livid wedge]

It's faster but can't retarget

[viral minnow]

i think i might be cooked, GTX 1650, 32gb RAM ( ok this ram is kinda good but i dont think it will help that much) intel core i5, its also 4 years old, but ok i might try lowering settings

[hearty lagoon]

how do I progress? I'm getting back into this game and finshed my first run (on eays mode)

[viral minnow]

this is rougelike, so theres no ''normal'' progression, you can unlock more characters, items, artifacts, etc

[hearty lagoon]

ok

[viral minnow]

also try rainstorm and then monsoon

[hearty lagoon]

playing commando in a medium run

[hearty lagoon]

on second thought I should do a multiplayer run

[hearty lagoon]

ughhh i keep loosing

[lavish jacinth]

Just gotta keep trying and learning from your mistakes each time

[shy halo]

the magic of rougelites/likes

[whole copper]

It's fine tbh
I suck at the game too

[jaunty furnace]

with randoms? hell nah

you aint learnin nothing there

[shy halo]

play singleplayer so you learn how to loot the map(s)

[whole copper]

I keep dying to the squid boss
Do yall have like a tutorial on how to avoid the AOE the squid makes

[shy halo]

requires line of sight, same with grandparent's unmatched power of the sun(stay in the shadows)

[jaunty furnace]

the what

dunestrider?

[shy halo]

vagrant

[jaunty furnace]

ohhh

[whole copper]

Jellyfish thingy
I keep forgetting its name mb

[jaunty furnace]

line of sight

[shy halo]

hide behind a rock or some other terrain feature

[whole copper]

OHHHHH
Ok i got it thx again

[dreamy glacier]

Hey I'm also new here, is the RoR2 wiki a good place to get info? And I'm thinking about trying multiplayer but... it feels like there's a lot I need to prepare. How good do I need to be before jumping in?

[shy halo]

the wiki.gg one is good, fandom has been mostly abandoned

also wouldn't recommend multiplayer until you have gotten used to the game

it is a rougelite so its die, die, die again until you get it right

[dreamy glacier]

thanks! oh I didn't recognized there is two kind of ror2 wiki. Thanks!!!

[marble osprey]

Multiplayer is good, but the way it works is that anything one player has unlocked is unlocked for everyone else in the run as well, so it'll usually have all items and enemies from all three dlcs included, which may be a bit overwhelming if you're just starting out and trying to learn what the items and enemies do. You don't need to be super good at the game though, there are plenty of people in the lfg channels who will be happy to help you out

[dreamy glacier]

Omg thanks so much, this kind of information is also exactly what I needed! Now I know what to focus on — gonna work on collecting items and maybe grab the DLCs too

[jaunty furnace]

theres a browser extension that tells you when a non-fandom wiki exists

indie wiki buddy

[dreamy glacier]

Thanks!

[solid glade]

How am I even supposed to counter grandparent? I was in a near perfect run with artificer and fought one, even after managing to run away the dot killed me in an instant and the run wasn't even that long, it killed every single one of my drones

[frosty reef]

Break line of sight between you and the sun it spawns. Turn your shadow setting on and run to em

[lavish jacinth]

drones will focus on the enemy you're attacking, so you can kinda lead them out of the radius by attacking another enemy, but it's still kinda tough to keep them alive

[shy halo]

only operator has the drone recall button

[silent steeple]

is the simulacrum multiplayer or no

if so can i help my friend get void fiend

[jaunty furnace]

if they have the dlc yes

[silent steeple]

what difficulty do you have to do to get void fiend

[jaunty furnace]

if difficulty mattered it wouldve told you

[vernal oasis]

you can also do the dlc boss instead

which, imo, is a more fun experience to get it

[eager tartan]

yo how many void caches can spawn on a stage?
i found one and i had three keys
so i still have two of those and cant find more

[shy halo]

1

having more rusted keys/encrusted keys just lets you use them on the next stage

[eager tartan]

ohh fair enough
thanks

[jaunty furnace]

only way to spawn more is to share them in multiplayer

[shy halo]

i thought that only worked with shipping forms

[jaunty furnace]

i doubt it

[eager tartan]

makes sense
also do they spawn in before the ||solus wing arena||

[jaunty furnace]

no

[eager tartan]

unfortunate

[short axle]

Has anyone gotten the solus heart log? And if so how/where?

[viral minnow]

logs drop after killing something, its 1% chance if i remember correctly, its affected by luck

[storm ravine]

best orange item for void fiend?

[marble osprey]

Solus wing is the only one that doesn't just drop from the enemy, everything else you just have to kill them

[marble osprey]

Any of the usually good ones are still good, only one that's uniquely good on him is ocular hud, the 100% crit chance lets you stay in corrupted form to deal huge damage, usually to just delete a teleporter boss
Equipment items usually don't really care what character you're on

[rapid current]

how do you get solus wing log btw

[chilly ore]

any way to bind the chat opening key from ENTER to something else?

[marble osprey]

||it's hidden in the room where you get the prison matrix after beating the boss, underneath the path you walk into the room on||

It used to just drop from the boss like any other log, but they realized the boss also drops down to that same spot so it'd crush anyone trying to get the log

[hazy willow]

Easiest way to reach gilded coast?

Most reliable, I mean

[livid wedge]

Seers portals in the bazaar between time

[round edge]

When is a good time to enter the void?

[hasty tinsel]

you mean void fields for the items, right? Varies really, if you feel confident you can enter it pretty early and get a significant boost from it.

[round edge]

I just want the character associated with completing it.

[lavish jacinth]

at a bare minimum you want enough mobility to make it between cells and a reliable way to heal

it's hard to say exactly what you'll need because vields is so rng-heavy

[round edge]

I love that. Thanks, I will try again until I win.

[lavish jacinth]

but if you want a good character for doing it I'd recommend engineer with bungus and some goat hooves

(or any speed item)

he's good at holdouts and turrets can take aggro for you

[round edge]

Engineer and Captain are great, but it's not the enemies that get me.

[lavish jacinth]

and if you get you can cheese it by sticking turrets out in the fog so they constantly take damage and proc it

[hasty tinsel]

If it's the void, avoid going there if you don't have some method of regen, be it innately as part of the character or from items.

[lavish jacinth]

void fiend is also good at it

[hasty tinsel]

Yeah void fiend gets free heals from it.

[round edge]

Who do I get for completing all nine cells?

[lavish jacinth]

Acrid

[round edge]

It's a creature, right?

[shy halo]

a playable survivor who specializes in DoT, has a unique run start animation that DOES NOT include i-frames which has resulted in some rather quick deaths for some players

[round edge]

I'll check it out. I'll run all 9 cells eventually

[hasty tinsel]

His DoT is especially powerful because it deals damage based on the enemy's max health, so instead of flat numbers it scales naturally because it always wants to deal damage equivalent to a certain percentage.

[storm ravine]

Is stone flux pauldron really worth it on False Son? Ik they are op for him, but it's just so annoying to be that slow and have to use the tp ability or having to spam space for wax quail

[lavish jacinth]

he gets a speed buff by spending lunar spikes, so that can partially make up for the speed loss

[tawdry creek]

oi lad!!

[jovial valley]

How do you chain Ascent Protocol? I can't seem to get him to grab drones past the first one. Whenever I try to use it again, he just grabs empty air and falls. What am I missing??

[marble osprey]

you have to be looking at the drone you want to jump to, and can't be too far away from it

[jovial valley]

Another issue with this is that I'm hearing drones are supposed to follow you, but in my experience, they engage with enemies and don't seem to disengage from them even when I'm on the other corner of the map. Is there any way around this or do I just have to follow my drones everywhere?

[lavish jacinth]

they should prioritize whatever enemy you're currently attacking

[jovial valley]

Wait so if i attack an enemy right in front of me it will recall them?

[marble osprey]

not instantaneously, they still have to move there

but yeah

using operators m2 should also get them back faster

[lavish jacinth]

and they should follow you if they're not busy with an enemy, unless they're stuck somewhere

[jovial valley]

Oh thank goodness. Anything is better than waiting for (what seems like) them to dispatch the whole crowd they've engaged with

[lavish jacinth]

and they do have limited speed, so they can get left behind if you're really fast, but they should still try to catch up

most survivors won't have issues with that until lategame though, except for loader

[jovial valley]

Omg I finally managed to chain this thing. Thank you guys so much 🙏

[spice swan]

which secondary is best on operator? It seems like u gotta be more careful in picking drones with base secondary but istg alt secondary does no dmg

[lavish jacinth]

default, easily

[spice swan]

are there certain drones i shouldnt be picking up?

the grabber one seems kinda mid

n med would just lower dps

[lavish jacinth]

don't take transport drones, they're currently bugged and can crash the game if you order one to grab a stationary enemy

[spice swan]

oh i c

[lavish jacinth]

but other than that, just take whatever you find tbh

[spice swan]

turrets dont count right? Should i just avoid them so i don't reach the cap as quickly?

[lavish jacinth]

most of them at least deal some kind of damage, and healing drones give you an attack speed buff so they're not a complete dps down

[lavish jacinth]

drones and turrets don't actually have a cap

[spice swan]

wait they dont have a cap?

is that new? Istg before once the bar was full it just replaced em

[lavish jacinth]

they do count towards it, but they'll only prevent passive minions from spawning

[spice swan]

oh so anything bought with money can be added

does it mess with something like beetle guard?

[lavish jacinth]

yeah

[spice swan]

ah i c

[lavish jacinth]

if you plan to build around other minions then you'll wanna be careful, but if not, just buy every drone you see

[spice swan]

wait what about item drones?

Like spare drone parts

[lavish jacinth]

I think those get blocked? but they don't really do anything anyway, they're just a filler drone so the item still does something even if you have no drones

[spice swan]

ahhh gotcha

perfect

[marble osprey]

the main ones you wanna worry about are empathy cores , since those are super strong and will get blocked from spawning if you're ally capped. If you don't have them, you don't really need to worry

[hollow cloak]

im trying to unlock artifacts, but for some reason i cant interact with the 9 code panels or the laptop. the wiki doesnt state that i have to do anything beforehand to interact with them, so im confused. why can't i interact with anything?

[lavish jacinth]

are you on eclipse?

[hollow cloak]

yes oh my god

thank you

[daring violet]

Does artifact of honor effect elite aspect drop chance?

[left trellis]

it doesn't affect the drop chance, but since you're killing more elites it does mean you're more likely to get one

[cedar ocean]

Wondering if spare drone parts is still bugged on console

I haven’t done mithrix with it in forever

I usually loop when I get it

With mithrix I mean

There used to be a bug that made mithrix unkillable if he got spare drone parts

[lavish jacinth]

Was that ever a thing? Or do you just mean that he'd instantly kill you with droneman because it wasn't blacklisted

Because that got fixed ages ago

[worthy osprey]

this is a really stupid question

but if you have 200 lost seer glasses then its a 100% chance to kill a non boss enemy ja?

[livid wedge]

As long as your proc coef is 1 or greater, yeah

[worthy osprey]

thx!

I have roughly 100ish hours and dont completely understand the proc coef--
is it just proc coef*proc chance for an item like tri tip?

[cedar ocean]

Call it proc co not proc coef

[livid wedge]

Basically

[cedar ocean]

Proc coef sounds so weird

[livid wedge]

I mean, if I say it, I say coefficient

[cedar ocean]

But yeah I’m not sure how it works either

[livid wedge]

Your attack or items proc coefficient is multiplied by the proc chance of an item

Key exception being crits

[cedar ocean]

Okay so a 0.5 coefficient on a 10 percent chance would be 5 percent

[livid wedge]

Correct

[cedar ocean]

Oh

Okay that’s very simple

I remember when false son was in his glory days and could nuke the entire map with a 3.0

[livid wedge]

A couple items will instead multiple the coefficient by duration in the event the proc is guaranteed

[cedar ocean]

Like plimp?

[livid wedge]

Like predatory instincts attack speed buff length or leech seeds heal

[cedar ocean]

Oh.

[livid wedge]

It's the same idea. Plimp doesn't have a duration or anything so instead it's proc coefficient is 0.2 instead of 1 like it is for atg

[cedar ocean]

Golly leeching seed makes me genuinely cry every time I see it because it’s so bad

Who decided leeching seed was a good idea

[livid wedge]

I think the idea was it gets stronger as your proc chain gets bigger

But it could use a buff

[cedar ocean]

I have a buff idea for it

So instead of healing 1 health

It increases all other means of healing for like half a second

And had a 1 health buff

So like 2 health per hit and 25 percent increased healing got 0.5 seconds

But the effects stack like base game leeching seed

Do the only stacking thing is the health per hit

I think that would be fair

[spice swan]

can i tricorn solus wing?

[elfin sierra]

Nope

[grizzled finch]

Hello I'm new to this game uhh how do I unlock more characters

[trim lynx]

you can see unlocks by hovering the mouse over them in the character select screen

assuming m&k

[feral kestrel]

How does one get better

What items should I scrap and is there a way to not scrap all items in a stack

[peak holly]

You scrap 10 at a time

Pretty sure it isn’t 5

Why did I even speak if I’m not sure

Uhh

[feral kestrel]

mhmm

[peak holly]

Yes 10

As per the wiki

[feral kestrel]

Wait so if I have 11

Then it will keep 1

[peak holly]

Yep

[feral kestrel]

Ok

So what if I were to go all in

On a soda printer

Would I become god

[peak holly]

You want to scrap

[feral kestrel]

Wait why the Pennie’s

[peak holly]

They aren’t very good past stage 3 max

[feral kestrel]

Ok

So keep early scrap late

[peak holly]

But they are decent at getting money on stage 1 and 2

Yep

[feral kestrel]

Ok

Also how do I just not explode and die instantly past like stage 7

[peak holly]

A chronobauble can be nice against the final boss too

[elfin sierra]

Tbf some items are kinda dependant on how the run is going what survivor you are playing and what type of build you wanna go for

[peak holly]

Never need more than 1 though

[feral kestrel]

Why are the bands so important

[elfin sierra]

Its usually better to scrap items that you feel like had no impact on your build

[feral kestrel]

People treat them like holy objects I swear

[peak holly]

They deal a shit ton of damage

And are consistent

Except on commando

[feral kestrel]

So like if I have a high attack speed I should get more bleed or something that does that

[feral kestrel]

All I needed to hear

[elfin sierra]

Ye smthn like that

[feral kestrel]

Ok

[peak holly]

I keep typically but I’ll scrap it on a loader or articifer run

[feral kestrel]

But also is there a easier way than just nudging the pots to the things to unlock bands

Cause I’ve been trying for like 4 runs now

[peak holly]

Engineer turrets

[feral kestrel]

Ok

[elfin sierra]

Loader pylon

[feral kestrel]

I officially hate wisps now tho so that’s nice😁

[elfin sierra]

Wisps are angels compaerd to blind pests

[feral kestrel]

Wut are those

I probs know but don’t know name

[elfin sierra]

Green flying things that spit at you and deal way too much damage

[feral kestrel]

Oh

The things that are like manta rays

[elfin sierra]

Ye

[feral kestrel]

It’s fine I don’t play on monsoon cause I’m bad

[peak holly]

They flap their ears which is kind of cute

[feral kestrel]

And haven’t gotten all characters yet

[elfin sierra]

You will get better bro

[feral kestrel]

Ok I believe

[elfin sierra]

Jus keep having fun

[feral kestrel]

The problem is

I get a decent run on merc

Then get exploded stage 6 and die before Mithras

Mithrix

[elfin sierra]

Merc is pretty difficult

[peak holly]

Try to pillar skip if possible

[elfin sierra]

Ye

[feral kestrel]

WHAT IS THIS SORCERY

[elfin sierra]

Like the vase

[peak holly]

With

[feral kestrel]

Uhh I know what the egg and silk thing does

[peak holly]

Merc with enough move speed and some backup mags is also fine, or some cd reduction

[feral kestrel]

Is it just like fly up into it

[peak holly]

Yep

[elfin sierra]

Or you can get 53562648 hopoo feathers

[feral kestrel]

No invis barriers?

[elfin sierra]

Nope

[feral kestrel]

Nice

[elfin sierra]

You can just fly up to his arena

[peak holly]

There are divets in the tower where you can stand to refresh abilities

[feral kestrel]

Yes but funny combo go brrr
