no items to boost your base damage = no level ups will save you
#gd2-nullified
devout crown
I feel like that's another possible way to save commando, boost his base stats or make them scale better with levels
because otherwise even if you're saving as much time as possible everything just ends you
I can consistently reach stage 3 in 10 minutes or less
but the enemies also consistently outscale me without god items
if I spend any more time on the stages and do it in 15 minutes, the enemies outscale me anyway
so the enemies always outscale me on monsoon unless I get god items early
mellow mango
yeah commando is certainly item reliant
you need some AoE early or you're gonna have a bad time
and some damage and healing of course
devout crown
feel like I'm just gonna give up and cheat with command artifact just to get his alt M2 to maybe boost my enjoyment of his kit
mellow mango
if you are getting consistently outscaled you could try the void fields
free items and xp
I like to do it after stage 2
mellow mango
yeah, I would recommend that tbh
winged briar
stage 1-2 void fields on monsoon is a very good choice
mellow mango
command is fine to use if it makes the game more fun
devout crown
yee
I just feel like I absolutely love RoR2 in a lot of ways but their treatment of commando just hurts me
also tri-tip dagger saves commando every time lol
at least until the first loop is done
winged briar
oh yeah tri-tip with commando is bonkers
mellow mango
nice thing about doing it after stage 2 is it doesnt really matter what stage 3 you get
but I often like to not do it after stage 1 because I usually want aqueduct
mild grotto
Tbf Tri Tip breaks everyone not Loader or Arti
devout crown
why aqueduct specifically?
mellow mango
aqueduct is just better
mild grotto
Because Wetland Aspect sucks
mellow mango
easy newt, easy tp
mellow mango
and your lunar seer choices are negated if you go through the void
so that leaves you with a 50% chance of wetland f you do void after stage 1
winged briar
aqueduct has
-guaranteed newt
-easy-to-find chests and tp
wetland has
-pain
-suffering
it’s the same thing with rallypoint vs acres except acres has the easier newt
very hard to find stuff on scorched acres while rallypoint is the best map in the game for that
mellow mango
nah, rallypoint has an easier newt for sure
idle copper
^
mellow mango
the "guaranteed" newt on rallypoint is tricky to get, but one of the 2 on the ground will always spawn
so getting newt on rallypoint is super easy as any survivor
mellow mango
yeah haha
which is kinda of sad tbh
devout crown
I like the idea of stages that cause hard choices to be made tbh
mellow mango
stage 4 is a very hard choice
mellow mango
in all seriousness I think stage 1 is the hardest choice
but you only get to choose loop 2 haha
devout crown
by hard choices I mean wetland aspects, scorched acres, etc.
when you get those stages from the coinflip you have to make a lot of hard decisions due to their nature
mellow mango
oh I thought you meant like lunar seer choices
mellow mango
because most lunar seers have an obvious choice I think

Abyssal Depths
winged briar
it’s my favourite stage 4 for singleplayer monsoon
paper zenith
Sometimes I forget the cave system in depths exists
shut rock
i personally like Sirens call
winged briar
loot is nice and visible, i have trouble with finding siren’s call’s loot sometimes
shut rock
yeah loot can be hard to find sometimes, but a lot of times i find a large group of chests and end up killing the demon orb to get the red item
shut rock
and i don't really spend 15 minutes looking for tp on that stage, rather than abyssal depths
yeah it can be, but a tonic loader shreds through it with the right items
winged briar
abyssal depths i usually find the tp while i’m farming
i always farm stage 4 and 5 if i’m doing 6mm
shut rock
i always tend to try to get a crap load of loot on stage 4, and then any additional i can get my hands on at stage 5 before mithrix
if i do mithrix that is
winged briar
i might stop doing mithrix tbh
i’ve done it 4 times on monsoon already, i can’t bring myself to do it any more times
and some people have done it 80+ times
shut rock
im trying to get "the calm". after that ill be looping way more
winged briar
good luck
shut rock
also gonna try to do the long run monsoon sometime
i removed it from my achievements from my files because i did it on drizzle. i probably still have clover but i want to get it on monsoon
winged briar
after i get all masteries vanilla, i’ll try to go stage 20 vanilla monsoon as well
shut rock
which speaking of which, im suprised that you can do that with the steam achievements existing.
winged briar
you can straight just give yourself all the achievements
shut rock
yeah, i dont do that, but if i wanna do something again ill go back and remove it
because theres a satisfaction to seeing the achievement unlock at the top to me
winged briar
i only did that for the gesture unlock because i didn’t want to waste my time scaring crabs
shut rock
i dont have gesture yet, i might end up doing that.
winged briar
it’s an easy unlock but it’s not a fun one
winged briar
yep lmao
winged briar
if it was a lower amount of crabs i wouldn’t have a problem
shut rock
but 20 of them could take so much time it screws over your run
winged briar
exactly
i’m making an effort to scare all the crabs i see for my friend when we loop
just to make his life easier
winged briar
i also gave up a sweet sweet irradiant pearl for him just so i could say he has the irradiant pearl with 4 hours in the game
oh yeah it’s a long one
winged briar
yep that’s my long term goal for this game after getting all masteries
long run monsoon no artifacts

i dont think im ever gonna get rolling thunder on commando

yeah wake removing actual health for shields sucks
but shield gens don't really detriment you
since it doesn't actually turn health into shields, it just adds the shields

since gd1 is talking about weird stuff I'll say it here
imo this game should have special spots like ror1 for discounted chests
like up here would be cool
I know newts exist but having the chests like ror1 in special spots where a newt wouldn't really fit would be cool
waxen girder
they might add them
they added utility chests, so they obviously arent afraid to change things up
mellow mango
cloaked chests having designated spawn locations would be cool
but idk if I want to have to remember even more stuff tbh
waxen girder
well, free chest will be a bit too much
hazy wraith
dedicated spawn points doesn't mean that it will spawn
just that, if one were to spawn, it would be in one of those locations
waxen girder
still would be too much
hazy wraith
besides, are you really going to go check all of those spots for what is just a free small chest?
thats a lot of wasted time
winged briar
loader 😎
hazy wraith
not that i think they should, its cool to just bump into one
a dedicated spawn point would be REALLY annoying to check, to the point of almost never checking
waxen girder
youd be surprised
mellow mango
I mean it would be the same as newt
but yeah would not really make the game more fun
hazy wraith
the difference is that Newt serves a purpose other than one white item
waxen girder
cloaked chests have a higher chance of spawning good loot
mellow mango
well it is not always white to fair
waxen girder
I think its like 75% to 25%
mellow mango
if it were there people would use it, but I don't think it should
hazy wraith
i try not to hold out any hope when i find one
i just expect to get a white item
if not, cool, if so, cool, it was free
waxen girder
but you do have a higher chance to get non white compared to a normal chest
hazy wraith
that doesn't mean you should expect one, though
waxen girder
its like when you open a large chest, you know its more likely to be a green, but you are fully expecting a red out of it every time
anyone else?

I guess I just have a gambler's mind

also i dont think you should get the same amount of coins as you get for Obliterating just for killing Newt
like, yeah, he's tanky, but uh, no
hexed socket
He’s the highest damage check in the game and killing him is definitely harder than obliterating
But I think being able to hurt him is just a meme

obliterating, unless you get lucky, requires at least 3 lunar coins (not including the lunar pods)

you only get a net gain of 2, assuming you get no coins during the run (unlikely but hey, you never know)

Hey y’all! Quick question! One of the last lines on the 57 Leaf Clover Mentions that rougher times is affected by luck on PS4. With 1.0’s release, is that still the case?
mellow mango
hmm
that is actually a good question
hexed socket
yes. if im not wrong that still is effective on them. i know i saw somewhere that this was intented, but i am not absolute
short veldt
I’m gonna see if I can somehow confirm this really quick!
hexed socket
I seem to block a lot with just 1 or 2 of them, so it may be hard to test. i am not sure if its based on the amount of damage dealt either
short veldt
I’ll just snag one bear and see how I block against an enemy with a reliable firing pattern such as a lesser wisp, and then grab the clover from Abyssal and see how my block rate is then
short veldt
Yeah. That doesn’t make sense.
That’s why I’m testing it
This is at the bottom of 57 Leaf Clover’s wiki page
I figured that if this ever was the case, it was removed with 1.0
Ah, I should clarify! I edited it, changed the spelling of “effected” to “affected” because it bothered me to no end. It was there long before. I believe you can check the revision history
Although.... considering it was even “effected” in the first place, and the tip doesn’t have a source.... I don’t see it as super reliable
Fair point, but the entire wiki only has info on 1.0, so I figured some side comment that mentions stuff pre-1.0 wouldn’t be super far-fetched.

In general he feels weak against swarms, but his air strikes at least deal with ground enemies
And it's super hard to aim properly to snipe wisps-- it's very easy to leave them alive with just a little health or miss them entirely when you're jumping around the map. The Aim-Assist doesn't seem to do anything

@north sequoia @short veldt i cant give a 100% sure answer to if tougher times are effected by luck on ps4 but i just wanna add that they are effected by luck on switch for some reason so its definetly possible
short veldt
God, thank you. I didn’t end up going through with my tests, as I was pretty discouraged, and it was suggested that it was completely irrational. Thank you for this. I’ll make sure to test it once I get a chance
novel sorrel
The easiest way would be if a console player is up for testing it. Turn on command, get 10 teddy bears and then start stacking as many clovers as you can. With say 10 teddy bears and 5 clovers, you should block a bit over half the hits if clovers dont work but you should block almost every hit(98.9%) if clovers do work
The difference should be drastic enough that you could probably tell really easily
short veldt
Hah... I was debating going for just one bear and seeing the rates before and after the clover, but this seems like it’d be much easier to tell the difference, thanks!

So quick question, does anyone know why Brass Contraptions do so much damage?
The wiki entry indicates that they shouldn't scale much faster than anything else, and yet I find myself getting hit once and being dropped or 1-shot protected
vast umbra
There's a function past their base damage which determines their end damage. usually just a multiplying factor
So if its base damage is 15 but their attack actually does 1000% base damage... it will do 1500
merry karma
damage coefficient iirc
novel sorrel
Their base damage isnt that crazy but each ball deals 5 times their base damage
vast umbra
Realistically, I can tell you their attack does 400% (minimally) since they proc bands in void field
And will pretty much one shot you every single time
novel sorrel
Its 500%

Jumping down like I usually do
I had nothing that would change that
I'm gonna go test it out again

yeah thats why im confused
rare fossil
Might be a bug
mossy garden
huh
yeah that is bugged 100%
why did he shatter though?
he didn't obliterate, and he also didn't have glass

i still dont get why people think having shaped glasss enables you to die by fall damage
actually with OSP being removed by it i see why but it doesnt

Hey do you guys have any tips on beating Mithrix? I’ve died 5 times to him in 3rd phase.
Is it as simple as getting good and learning his patterns?
rare fossil
First time I fought him I just ended up winning with Artificers Ion surge
Basically nullifies all his melee attacks
However it kinda counts as a cheap victory
vague lintel
I did all the mithrix achievements before he got changed, I would kill him before he even took my items

I finally got the captain monsoon achievement

Coop Challenge
A Man and His Machines
One player is the Engineer, while the rest of the party uses Mul-T. Objective is to keep the Engineer alive at any cost, on Monsoon difficulty.
Engineer Restrictions:
- You have to use the micro missiles, as the shield bubble would make things too easy.
- You have walking turrets, because all of your "units" need to be mobile for maximum combat effectiveness.
- Mines can be used but are not recommended.
Mul-T Restrictions:
- Your primary and alt primary must be the same, and each Mul-T has a different one.
- Gnarled Woodsprite is allowed but only one can be given to Engineer at a time.
- You are not allowed to pick up Dio's, only your master can.
Mul-T Restrictions:
*For if the first restriction set was a bit too hard.
- Both primaries have to be the same, but there are enough weapons to go around.
- All 3 Mul-Ts are allowed to send Woodsprites to Engineer.
- Still no Dio's. Engineer doesn't have the time or materials to build a new Mul-T mid-stage.
Artifacts:
- Command is only allowed via big teleporter
- Sacrifice is not allowed period. No free items for you.
- Glass is allowed at your own discretion.
- Everything else is fair game.

sounds like you would just be playing the game normally tbh
twilit dawn
Are you telling me 3 Mul-T and Engineer is an actual strat?
mellow mango
not a strat
just a random team composition
twilit dawn
Ah, well keep in mind that if the Engineer dies without a second life, the run is over.
quaint crystal
sounds fun, if i had friends who played this game i would 100% do this
winged briar
why is arti my most consistent character yet one of my least favourites
sharp radish
Has anyone here played as Mithrix with Cheat Engine? He’s super fun to play. Only problem is that he and most if not all other bosses are too big to activate the teleporter.
He also can’t buy chests, but he can use tall shrines.
plain plinth
I honestly don't like the addition of scrappers. They slow down multiplayer gameplay so much. "Wait hold on, I gotta scrap." "Is there a scrapper in this level?" - they ask 5 seconds after we finish boss or at every other inopportune moment. So much time spent waiting around.
mild grotto
Honestly I feel that
visual oar
its bait for new players, its kind of funny to see someone jsut stand there and get hit by mushrums or brass contraptions while seeing what scrappers do
restive shore
do u think that the swarm artifact is bad or good?
mild grotto
Makes the early game and Mithrix a lot more brutal, but the stuff that's not that gets cut through like wet paper and it gives you extra items with Sacrifice
rancid remnant
Swarm is incredibly fun because you get to feel like a dps massacre god. Also double the on-kill effects is really strong
favorite artifact
zinc kernel
My favorite is Metamorphosis

I know it's only been a few days, but does anyone have an idea on how quickly Hopoo responds with hotfixes?
tepid wolf
It is not hoppo responsile for console
static lotus
Oh. That's... Not good
tepid wolf
It is a different company that develops the console version
static lotus
Well that explains the bugs.
New question: How well does the game run on lower-end PC's?
tepid wolf
I really don't know on this one, it could run if you went down to lower settings
static lotus
Says 4 GB of RAM... That's not a whole lot... But I wonder if that's "game will launch but lag like a toaster" or "game will actually run"
Genuinely like this game enough to buy it twice, tbh.
And I feel like a cursor would be a lot better in most circumstances.
tepid wolf
A mouse makes aiming a lot easier indeed
Movement is slightly better on console because of the analog stick movement
static lotus
Yeah, I agree. But hitting things far away can be a huge pain. And I feel like Rex is just way worse on console cause it's super hard to whip around real quick to use his utility. Plus scrappers are super slow to use.
All in all it ain't too bad, though.
tepid wolf
Well his utility is not the problem aiming the seed barrage every 0.5 seconds must be annoying

Getting yoinked by Elders seems to be a common thing for me D:

Usually it's not the elders that kill me
They do NEARLY kill me, then a brass contraption or wisp finishes the job in most cases

It's either Elders or Greater Wisps for me
Wisps earlier on, the former 2 if I get the ball rolling

I used to suck against greater wisps

The traumatic run
Let me tell you fellas the story of how a Risk of Rain 2 run almost drove me insane. Start off with 3 commandos and one engie.Artifact of command+ Sacrifice on monsoon.Start run, pretty normal until we beat the hell out of wandering vagrant, everyone gets mired urn as a joke. This is the start of the downwards spiral. Group enters blue portal, and of course everyone (except the engie) gets shaped glass. Enter void, everyone gets an ungodly amount of syringes and goats hoofs. Engie dies, engie quits. Now it is just a group of 3 probably brain damaged commandos left. I obtain wake of vultures and hardlight thrusters. There is just a group of gatling guns with bleed and one of them is malachite. Mired urn almsot gets everyone killed multiple times. Too much adrenline to fight mithrix. We all die due to a celestial elder lemurian at stage 20.
outer idol
i did my first run without cheesing it without artifacts nor on drizzle
foggy pilot
But did the run make you question your own sanity
outer idol
doesnt the entire game makes you do that?
foggy pilot
i mean to a severe degree
foggy pilot
The three dumbass commandos and the engie that left while he had the chance
outer idol
and it shortened the lifetime of my mouse for atleast 6 months
oof
atleast you did it with friends
foggy pilot
My friends don't want to speak about it
They don't want to rememeber it
Nobody even mention mired urn anymore except the engie and the other lucky souls who did not experience that run
outer idol
oof
foggy pilot
so yeah, a very truamatic run
slate beacon
Anyone want to do monsoon PS4 run
We have had many attempts
But failed
Also we have 2
brisk gale
if mithix suck your item and you got the shaped glass,does mithrix got halved health or nah?

fucking hate elder lemurians

p sure clay dunestrider succ counts as planet too

ohhh i actually didn’t know that

true
winged briar
man once i get the rest of the masteries i need i’m gonna start goin for long runs
covert badge
i would do long runs if my cardboard box called a switch could handle it
winged briar
oh how are you liking captain 😎😎😎
covert badge
pc captain or console captain lol
covert badge
i waited 2 months and he has like 4 bugs off the top of my head
covert badge
as well as the taser and spread
winged briar
and the ui flip thing is probably because of how keyboard+mouse is configured
not saying it’s good, but it makes sense why that mistake was made
covert badge
for captains pylon UI is there the pylon symbols on the skill menu and the grey circles on the screen?
winged briar
oh wait what?
covert badge
wait let me get it up
winged briar
i just thought you were talking about how they were in the wrong spots i definitely haven’t heard of this one
covert badge
no the wrong spots are fine, the configuration is why it's wrong but
winged briar
yeah i think right beacon counts as a secondary attack in that context because there was a weird bug with backup mag and bandolier iirc
covert badge
is this supposed to be different on pc?
winged briar
uhh
covert badge
my friend found another bug with captain where the beacons would default to shock instead of the one he wanted
covert badge
wdym
winged briar
what’s wrong with the image?
covert badge
i would imagine that the healing, shock, etc would be in the circles where the triggers are
because it doesn't look like it indicates anything else other than the triggers themselves
mellow mango
no, I believe the way you tell apart the beacons is by looking at the skill icons on the bottom
even on PC I dont think there is any indication on the UI
winged briar
yeah i don’t see any bug here
covert badge
no, those do match up on the skill icons
mellow mango
I can check though
winged briar
there’s no indication in the middle iirc
there should be imo, i remember that being an issue
but it’s not actually a bug, just an odd choice
dull ingot
can someone explain to me why exactly classic items refuses to work
upper briar
wdym
cause like
a good way to test if its working is to use command
if it isn't, update the mod

actually a better way of testing it is looking at the logbook

Out of curiosity, which survivor feels like you have bad luck when you play them?
In the sense that, whenever you play with that specific survivor you keep getting trash items and what not

REX for me. I dont know how i get 3 rusty keys with a bungus at stage 1 with him mostly
and no crit related items to boot

every survivor I guess
strange hedge
Today I beat Eclipse 8 with your least favorite character
brisk gale
how am i...
tired axle
yeah, the family event was basically a death sentence
brisk gale
how the hell
brisk gale
what flurry?
tired axle
a second primary
deals less damage normally but deals 4x damage when it crits instead of just 2 times
i think you need 20% crit chance for it to have better dps
brisk gale
obelisk?
tired axle
it's on the 8th stage
after you go through a celestial portal
it's basically another way to end your run, if you don't want to fight the final boss
going there for the first time will also unlock a new character
the item you have makes it so that you have to fight a secret boss when you get there
or rather one out of four secret bosses
all of them being pretty difficult
tired axle
the affliction from it do, yes
tired axle
the tempory buff increases it tho
you can get infinite uptime with just 4 gestures
actually, your new to the game, you probably don't have gesture yet
tired axle
that's not how it works
would be a really good idea tho
gesture just makes it so that you have 50% less cd on your equip, but it activates as soon as it goes of cooldown
it basically doesn't have a downside most of the time
it's a lunar item btw
brisk gale
dont know if this addiction good or not
tired axle
you can also get permanent uptime if you get 7 fuel cells
you'll just need to press the button as soon as it's of cooldown
normally gesture would do that for you
brisk gale
straife or flurry?
tired axle
wdym?
livid belfry
does nothing
brisk gale
oh
livid belfry
its used only for special skill
his playstyle is to hoard enemies and then use his special
to explode all of them at once and deal massive damage
u do next to no damage for the entire stage
tired axle
might want to change the name for it, i actually thought you were talking about the deathmakr debuff at first
brisk gale
eh??
livid belfry
na
just an idea i had while bored
if you are making your own ror3 you can put it in it
idk just wanted to show and get some ideas
brisk gale
whats hoopo species,i would like to know really
livid belfry
it is in no way finished or heck, even balanced lol
blissful quiver
TIL Scavengers can be teleporter bosses
tired axle
during second loop i think
brisk gale
ooo
blissful quiver
Yeah I'd say usually around the end of the second loop
tired axle
or stage 1
brisk gale
oh dear
blissful quiver
you wot
brisk gale
good luck pal
blissful quiver
how did this happen
blissful quiver
oh
brisk gale
how
blissful quiver
That one just kinda happens tbh
You dont have to be under 10% the whole time you just have to be under 10% when it ends
tired axle
you can also jump of the map
blissful quiver
Yeah but I feel like this one might just happen randomly when you play
tired axle
yeah
blissful quiver
You can go out of your way for it if you want tho
spare valve
Being under 10% is pretty uncommon, yeah it will eventually happen during just playing but itll take awhile
some characters youd never get it
like huntress is so brittle, if shes ever under 10% she's dead
you can either hit a 93% blood shrine inside the tp last moment, or tbh the easiest way is just to play rex
brisk gale
geez,thank god
spare valve
double knurl stage 1 is some good shit
brisk gale
how to play as merc,please help xd
spare valve
always stay moving, space out the dashes and special so that you basically always have one ready to use
theyre not only good attacks, but amazing for dodging and movement as well
every 3rd hit of your primary attack "exposes" enemies and makes the next hit to them do extra damage
so expose them then use the secondary or a dash on them
and just get used to the flow and pattern of spacing out dashes, exposing and then using something powerful. It's like a rhythm
brisk gale
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
brisk gale
dead
novel sorrel
I really wouldnt recommend stacking glass on merc when you’re still new on him
brisk gale
yeah,biggest mistake xd
plain viper
Gotta stack purity as well so you can just be invincible fulltime
spare valve
eh thats not a good way to learn him tho
alpine current
i always hated it when you'd unlock a boss as a character and they'd be so much weaker. good thing Aurelionite fixes this by being useless trash in both forms
alpine current
actually tanky survivor
mellow mango
alpine current
you mean
vague lintel
Fr tho as a survivor could be pretty interesting
alpine current
newt survivor
mellow mango
would probably make for a fun mod

His eye blast could be similar to artificers flamethrower
His m1 could be just a swing of the sword
What would his mobility skill be
alpine current
jump
vague lintel
this is just me wanting Han-d back
lucid frigate
@brisk gale also, when you hit an enemy that is “exposed”, you reduce cool downs by one second. Good for melting flying bosses with eviscerate. I’ve never had an easier time killing wandering vagrants.

I found artificer with ion surge to be really good for cheesing Mithrix. The infinite flight and buffed nanobomb made him look stupid with his close range attacks.
Just thought I’d throw that out there in the old ‘for what it’s worth’ category.
