loader is so op the loadout doesnt even matter
though it does have worse band procs, worse movement and worse aoe
oh right, that happens for some reason
listen it feels infinitely easier to use than default shift
i guess it's only one variable that's wrong, but weird that they missed that
wdym debatable
movement wise some people will prefer merely being able to charge faster
and also not go through the enemy they're are attacking and fly 9900km away
i mean, the momentum from the punch doesn't carry over as much, and you only move for half a second at 70m/s rather than 90m/s for a full second
also, i'd rather phrase it as easier aoe, since charged's aoe actually scales with the speed you build up
Cooldown management is also a hell of a lot easier with alt shift
I just run spiked/charged/pylon. It's what I learned and it's what I have "fun" with if I'm playing lodr
Fair and like it’s been said I don’t think you can call any lodr kit bad
o
It’s time
To farm FMP lunar coins
1 soul cat, 1 gesture, 2 cells, 1 FMP…. 5 clovers
FMP can drop lunars?
yeah
coin drop is an on kill effect that has a chance to occur on any death
so simulating death can drop them
Clover doesn't affect coin chance
Also the chance halves every time you get a coin
gd1 rn
So like, the first is gonna take 100 fmps, the second 200, then 400, etc
Basically, you're not gonna get a lot of coins like this, doing drizzle obliteration runs is faster
lodr go swingy swing
Or cheat them in like any normal person and don't waste your time
unless copesole
But the integrity... I wanna show off my wealth when I earn it not when I cheat it.
it's not as much wealth as much as ez tonic gesture brrrr brainded gameplay
i think its better to do showoffs by your monsoon only winrate
ephemeral > vanilla gaming = cheating if you don't abuse it > cheating
Honestly, default settings ephemeral is basically the same as cheating of you don't abuse it, you get like way too many coins
what is ephemeral
default drop rate for ephemeral coins is definitely too high especially for cost changes
it's a mod that makes lunar coins reset every run
wouldnt it be easier to mod in a crap ton then forget about it?
nah not having an infinite amount is kind of the point
Am sad

@limpid briar My friend @worldly olive is curious as to how you have almost 7 thousand hours in risk of rain 2 
You were misinformed. I don't have 7 thousand hours in Risk of Rain 2.
My apologies.
I got into playing loader so much that idk what ranged survivor to play now
merc
I don't like his kit
just get slicing winds
I forget to use my abilities too much to play him efficiently
ujhgghhjkjv
You good?
nah died
he's really easy to get on loader, esp on drizzle
I might give commando a second try
I couldn't even beat the first boss on my first run trying him lol I suck
to actually play and enjoy commando you gotta get alt skills

fun fact: acrids r skill is agile
so is his m2 and shift
so is regular hunterness blink
h u n t e r n e s s
oh god the pinned messages here are so old
A lot of skills need to have the agile tag added to them.
@summer terrace can you pin 
Wyrm
beeg
I agree
omg he big
What mod is that lol
no it doesnt exist there
ya should play it, it's pretty fun
i was just uh experimenting 
the worm is real tho
collider scaling is broken so they would appear clipped in the ground
I can’t even tell what enemy that is lol
is nebby gonna fix it any time soon?
idk
also, i still love this image so much

Well by killing mithrix you let the void reavers void the moon so if they are like space police you did them a solid
eh maybe
Hey has anyone else seen soup bowls that offer a white item in in exchange for a red item? I can't find anything on the wiki about this but i took this screenshot a couple days ago
I wasn't able to make the trade because i didn't have any red items on me, does it give you a lot of the white item or is it just a funny?
it gives you either 3 or 5 of the white
wildin
like 3 goat hooves or 3 crit glasses for some brainstalks/aegis
sometimes it's just godly
Honestly 3 warbanners is amazing in the mathrix fight
made this mistake last week and traded a behemoth for 3 gasoline
thought it was gonna take my white scrap and i was like "oh i could use some more gas"
why the fuck would you do that
why would you even try to get gas during mithrix
read the next message i sent 👍
The first time I saw one I pinged it and saw the funny [1 red] text. It was monster teeth 
aegis can low key make you invincible lol
I just tried to do the huntress no hit challenge and I got hit by a random off screen lesser wisp right after one shotting the teleporter boss 
idk man sounds like a skill issue
Maybe
I don't even play huntress much, I just wanna get the ballista for when I do play her more
I'm kidding lol
it's a /s moment my guy
that really sucks, but I bet you'll get it next time :D
Oh well thanks man
stack topaz brooch for that btw since barrier damage doesnt count as health loss
aegis also works ig
it can also not 90% of the time
What happened to game questions
Alright, good to know
Are the teddy bears also good to stack?
It could be useful, but since its a chance to block, its not great to rely on it
probably best to just stack barrier related things
also tougher times scales hyperbolically im pretty sure, so it doesnt stack well
You just need a few items:
Rejuv rack + coprsebloom + 70%+ crit + scythes
Instantly invincible with almost no problem 😎
just a few

Hey there, I've been trying to complete my first MAAO run and it has been brutal. I've learned a lot over the last 50 attempts or so, most recently that I should stay in a stage until the Umbras spawn and then I should teleport away. Today I made it to stage 4 but got bonked by my umbras during the teleporter event.
Anyway, is it viable to try to kill mithrix or is obliteration the only real way to finish?
Also, is becoming the heretic worth it in the first shop in order to maintain consistency with who you are playing as?
glass
obliteration is usually easier if youre better at endurance but mithrix is better if you have something to skip the pillars and to land a quick kill
There is usually enough orange command essence to guarantee an eccentric vase. You just need some way to get proc'ing during the fight while you spam Strides
I guess
I am hopeful that I will be able to finally knock it out tomorrow, but it's frustrating that you need a lucky first stage in order to get going. I'm not the kind to ever kill myself to restart, but dodging alley alloy vulture shots for 10 minutes is rough...
MAAO is the most rng dependent run you can have. In my experience it's best to hold off until you get an enemy you can farm easily. Your first red should be a ceremonial. Beetles are nice, and I'll stay for a good 10 minutes on that stage usually.
yeah ceremonial is extremely powerful with glass
Yeah all of my most successful runs started with beetles or artificer (with the jump). She makes a lot of enemy loadouts easier.
if you can get a ceremonial then 5ish crowbars you're set for a while
Yeah my plan is always to farm a couple greens and then cash in at the bazaar
watch out for anything that could accidentally kill you, best to have all alts unlocked then switch around your build to be maao specific. that means using blight if you aren't already, in addition to a few other things.
Yeah I have all the achievements on steam. I'm grinding through all the eclipse runs and have switched to maao to shake it up a little
I guess good rng is all there really is to it.
I'll shoot for mithrix, maybe the chaos/swarms artifacts will make him take care of himself for the most part.
But I'll be sure to get Visions just in case I roll acrid, mercenary, engineer, or loader.
yea for sure
and a few raps will help early game, plus a single medkit will be all the healing you need for stages 1-3. topaz brooch, if you aren't already grabbing one or two, is really, really helpful.
I've just been going for the Never Get Hit strategy. One topaz brooch and then Strides.
Yeah, that'll work. Late game it's hard to survive a hit anyways.
A rap is nice to solve the soul wisps though
But for building yourself up to the point where you have enough mobility to manage that, yknow the above helps.
and for mithrix, just know his move set. you can't have them fight each other forever so you have to manage for when that happens.
don't touch kjaros bands but runalds is very helpful for the fight
Right. I've played a lot of eclipse so I'm not too worried about mithrix.
I think I'm just wasting too much time trying to complete the first stage how I want to when I've got a bad enemy or no newt altars or a bad survivor for it.
True, a lot of it is just dying and restarting because most of the time your starting conditions just won't work.
Yeah, I dont want to do it. Thankfully, if the spawn is too awful I dont have to suffer for long, even while trying my best.
honestly, and no one that's done a MAAO run wants to hear this, maao isn't that hard. or at least, it doesn't demand much skill. just luck, and lots of it.
Hopefully I'll be back tomorrow with a victory
👍 good luck
Thx
Maybe I've been treating it too much like Mercenary's Ethereal challenge. I just sat down one day and played and played and improved until I got it through skill and a little luck, instead of waiting out a time where I could brute force it with luck
And maao seems to require the luck bruteforce approach.
Stun Grenade
I'd like to challenge that theory.
What is absolutely needed or is too difficult for it to be RNG?
The only thing that I would say is completely RNG based is the enemies having Unstable Tesla Coil as a legendary item or a Ukulele as a green item. ATG Missile MK. 1, if don't have Captain roll.
knock yourself out
You have to tell me what makes MAAO RNG based, I'll challenge it.
why
You stated that MAAO was just luck based and I want to know why or how it's luck based besides the mentioned I stated.
whats MAAO
monsoon all artifacts on
Though I tried to tell myself otherwise, which monster you face on the starting stage has more impact on your run than your own skill. Skill matters and is important, but facing beetles takes very little skill while facing alloy vultures or wisps (especially as mercenary) means skill cannot compensate for the luck.
When luck is so important that skill becomes of little consequence, the run is based on luck, not skill.
Also, the fact that items drop at all is luck based. Unlike a normal run, where there are guaranteed chests, there are no guaranteed items on the stage- just the boss item.
Though it would be very unlikely, you could get no items after 10 minutes of farming. I've had stretches where no items drop at all.
And then of course you have a random survivor. Newt altar spawns are mostly random, and maao runs depend on the bazaar a lot
i mean, you could also get a stage with no chests at all if you're that unlucky
I could be wrong, but doesn't the director have inhibitions about spitting out only printers?
nope, entirely random
Fair point then
well, semi random, it uses weights, and each interactable costs a different amount of credits
Pink Ghor 🤨

this one isn’t as good as the original
do people do fuel array % runs after getting the achievement? for fun or whatever?
I cheesed it with difficulty, artifact, AND survivor all at once and I'm going to feel ideologically impure until I go through it in a less cheese way
MulT with retool? I have carried a friend of mine through most unlocks but he managed to die even in the best possible situation.
While going for that one
let's see, if I remember correctly it was Huntress, Drizzle, Command, Soul
why soul
uhh let me know if I should spoiler any of that
topaz brooch and infusion baby
ah thats understandable
in my experience, soul isnt hard or useful, just fucking obnoxious
"lucky" insofar as I got a legendary essence
Soul is incredible for stacking on kill effects and I guess to a lesser extent stacking on hit effects
it's an extra kill per kill for huntress because of glaive
well because of glaive and to a lesser extent arrow rain
see also: bandolier
huntress is far less viable in many situations compared to the rest of the cast

Does anyone here watch woolie?
He seems like one of the bigger ror2 creators but I’m not sure
Hes part of the holy trinity

Ah I see
I’ll be back in 100 hours with a new religion
he has a lot of false informatiom
no one is active besides him right now (tho he extensively plays dungeon last few weeks)

Hey, I don't know anything about game design but I'm curious. How difficult would it be to implement a cross-play save feature to ror2?
cross play sounds like it would be super hard to implement.
Not cross play as in playing together, but say moving your save from pc to switch and stiff like that
Cross play would be fun though
then that's just called cross save
id say fix console first
i would like cross save, ngl i would probably get a console version after the update if it had that feature
im not even sure if the coding is the same, theyd have to be able to streamline the movement of save files from one platform to another which is gonna be a pain if the implementation itself is different
now thinking about it, the switch would probably be a huge issue in that reguard
as in the switching between platforms or the Nintendo Switch?
i was referring to how it would probably be hard to link things outside of Nintendo.
yeah, because Nintendo
Any tips for finding a teleporter on sundered grove?
I feel like I looked all around and I haven't even seen particles
finally found it
I've been on this level for like 10 minutes
everyones fav map
fr I bricked so many power plant runs this way
couldn't even find a newt altar on stage 3 for any of them
Sundered good
After having had some pretty decent runs with Mando, I've come to realize he's a pretty good character after all. I first thought he was good when I started, then thought he wasn't good after I unlocked other characters who did more damage at the start... But yeah, after putting some more hours, Mando is a pretty solid survivor, I'm growing to actually like him. Also his Phase Blast is pretty neat
this has probably been brought up before but are there any potential problems with having the warbanners effects stack if you have 2 or more over lapping warbanners in one spot? it would be a huge incentive to stack them early and keep track of levelling so you can strategically place them to your advantage
i tried using vr mod but i cant do anything in the menu with my controllers Valve knuckles any fixes?
Multiplayer warbanners would be cracked
solution could be warbanners effects only stack per person so they can't be abused or that they stack like teddy bears in a non linear way
Attack speed and movement speed already stack hyperbolically
wait wut
do you mean different items stack, or the same items
because if syringes stacked hyperbolically, i wouldve broken the game multiple times over already
I was just thinking of the war banner increasing stuff like attack and movement speed within the overlap of 2 warbanner areas
Hyperbolic means it gets less valuable each stack, exponential is what you’re thinks of
oh wait
im too tired for math, my bad
although youd think it stacks exponentially since its an increase stacked on an increase
I'm thinking of hyperbolic, like the curve goes up and then levels out so you'll see noticeable improvements from 3-4 warbanners in the first few levels and then more would be negligible kinda thing
All your attack speeds sum up, so +15%, +15%, and +100% makes +130%, not ~+170%
oh is it +15% to attack speed and +15% to movement speed?
I thought it was just +30% to both
anyway I'm bad at math 
it is for warbanner, but i think jumpabar is talking about item stacking
okey
I just think it would be cool to strategically level up with warbanner so I can get extra stats by placing them both at the same place and increasing its effects

I do hope when the expansion comes out they fix the Bandit Item Displays that doesn't properly show up. 
tbh better than abyssal depths, hate that place
implying any map in any game ever could be worse than gr*ve
i am going to beat you to death
Sundered Grove is actually one of my favorite maps
it just has such a nice atmosphere
Has some shrooms and nice flora
also no brass contraptions so already better than like, every level
no bcs makes it good
has dunestriders
dunestriders easy what you mean
they are the worst boss in the game
Which can be less of an issue due to the enhanced verticality of the level allowing you to deal with them more safely
????????
just, nuke you into non-existance
you can outdps a vagrant nova in like two seconds
the verticality is one of the worst parts because if you dont have a mobility that lets you go up or a few hopoos the level totally sucks to navigate
also which boss is worst is a question that heavily comes down to play style and character choice
ive seen many different people agree that dunestrider is the worst
who are you playing that means you have literally zero moveability
I personally don't find it to be that bad even on Engi or Cap though that may be just me
even if it had terrible level design, abyssal depths is just, why
i main mult and the level just sucks with transport mode
it's sundered with less move-ability and less nice atmosphere
are you using the air pumps and your spacebar.
sundered with less movability
you can actually navigate the level without a shitload of hopoos
doubt
what
neither of you are right. Both are extremely easy bosses to defeat, and both "final move"s or whatever you'd like to call it are really simple to dodge
I actually really like Grove on Engi because it allow me to be really creative with my turret placements and more easily set up mine traps
didn't say vagrants are the hardest, just saying they are worse.
whos the worst in your opinion
also my definition of worst is different from hardest; dunestriders are pretty easy but extremely obnoxious
none
well, maybe imp overlord since they don't have a skill ceiling, they just kinda require the ability to run away well
every other boss is cheesable and definitely easier to kill if you know how
there are areas you can't reach without hopoos, and the chains are hard to navigate, since you can just fall through.
since when can you fall through the chains
there are holes
always
theyre pretty easy to fall off, sure, but not through
milky moment

i have never fallen through a chain on abyssal
also which areas can you not reach without hopoo
skill success 😳
guaranteed newt portals on most maps are an easy one
there is at least one platform you can't reach as well
unless you're playing loader or have some other great mobility item
Loader is best character
i genuinely dont know what youre talking about
bruh, have you never looked up on sundered.
loader is small brain character in 90% of cases
the only areas i can think of are the hanging crystals but nothing spawns there
were talking about abyssal
The guaranteed newt spawns on one.
i am small brain I meant abyssal
like seriously what platforms can you not reach
newt altar
they don't have names
why would you get a newt on stage 4
why not?
free red, basically
circle them on a screencap or tell me where they are
Time to play some more ror2 and get mad
See you in 8 hours
no i will probably rage quit sooner :)
ok so for the first time i ever i decided to give a merc run a go with ALL the alt things (i did not like his alt skills before) and i have to say, its pretty god damn fun but like
how the fuck do you deal with wisps
slicing winds seems to NEVER heard them
Yea that’s one of their weakpoints imo
maybe atgs?
Or maybe primordial cube
But that’s not great
I feel like AtGs are an interesting case of great, but also slightly bad
like- they're really fkin good if they one shot an enemy at full/half health... but given that it's 3x damage, there's a good chance that you're wasting damage on an enemy that would die sooner
Oh yeah that makes sense
Like if they hit something they don’t crit on or kill then it’s worse?
yeah, just a bit
it's still really good if you one shot an enemy, but if they're at 5 health, it's not worth it
Yea there’s a bit of rng involved
I remember the first time I saw a missile crit, it wiped out a Buffalo on rallypoint and I didn’t know how it died at first bc it got one shotted
should i pick ocular HUD or sawmerang
i have 2 fuel cells and am playing huntress :o
i cant seem to get any soldiers syringe on Loader, am i just super unlucky? I havent played since very early access, so i dont know if theres something im missing
If you wanna use the cells I’d go with sawmarang maybe
I have no idea, maybe it’s a bug?
alrighty ty!
Np, I’m not too experienced tho so idk if that was a great choice
yeah same lol no worries
hmmm, it's really annoying, i feel like i see non-stop syringes on like commando and whatnot, but i just havent seen a single one as Loader after 5 hours of play.
Weirdddd
This isn’t like just printers tho like it’s just there are no syringes at all?
it's a common item, it's driving me crazy, i keep getting super late game with just base attack speed and i cant take it
yeah theres none. Not in chests or printers or multi-item stands or anything
ive seen all the other common items pop up, like they should, because they're common. But the damn syringes man, i thought maybe melee characters were nerfed to not get them or something, i havent played this game in a long time
but i guess im just unlucky, all these runs going to waste
i get other good items, but the build is really incomplete without syringes
Idk I’ve gotten bunches of syringes on merc before so I’m not sure
just unlucky, I think
alright ok so first stage i get a sand aspect, then i hit a shrine of disorder and get an ice aspect, then DROP an ice aspect, then i hit another shrine of disorder and get a malachite aspect you cant make this up
shrine of disorder op
guys u will never guess what happened !! i beat the game finally!!!
kind of felt like cheating using artifact of command and getting heretic but um. it was nice to finally win
a win is a win my dude congrats !

LETS GOOOOOOOOO REX DUNKED
Help im playing multi-player and died like a fool bc of something stupid irl, is there any way I can revive myself
Like a cheat command or something
It's on commencement too 😔
Damn. I'm not sure then
You'll get a cool "missing" message tho
At the end when your buddy(s) beat the game
Wow, that must've been tricky haha
We did artifact of command and he did Heretic so that helped
Dying early on a stage, especially commencement, is one of the big problems with multiplayer right now
imo, dying in a multiplayer stage just means you need to get better
in the case of freezebobs, they said they died because of something irl, which means it wasn't actually something in the game that is the reason they died.
Most of the time I've seen people die in multiplayer games, including myself, it's because of a mistake we made because we weren't used to being in multiplayer.
in other words, skill issue
TRUEEEE
You see,

Which is better, poison or blight for acrid?
depends
@raven lichen ya should rewrite your copy pasta btw
„Ah yes the classic. I prefer blight because it synergizes better with items, and has better dps on the vast majority of targets. Poison you really only use as fire and forget or on mega targets like mith or overloading worm
Basically blight adds 320% damage to your attacks which is really good, and since poison has a minimum thats really easy to hit blight tends to outperform.
Especially on short runs I really like blight. Lets you focus fire targets really efficiently, and especially early nothing has enough health to use the poison %hp thing. If i remember right even your base kit with no items has blight adding like 275% dps or something, with poison typically only offering the base 100% since you'll just be resetting it nonstop
But yea poison is better at 1 stack always so for fire and forget acrid its preferable. I don't prefer it since 100%/s is pretty slow, so I'd rather focus down my targets one by one and let the 60% do as it do.“
– Charlie
😔 When there's no clear winner with sidegrades
when you have no time to decide which playstyle fits you better 😔
I have the faq now kinda
So basically that copypasta can be boiled down to :
Fire and forget = poison
Focus a fucker = blight
also poison absolutely fricks over mithrix
funny big hp moment
would be cool if blight ignored armor altogether tho
Do they work when on a drone?
yes
I was just thinking about that lol

how good is REX's alt secondary?
just got it and I wanna know how useful it is compared to the default seed bomb
it's quite good imo
it can proc bands, which is always useful
what
REX's alt secondary is directive: drill
and it's pretty meh compared to the powerhouse that is seed barrage
it also cannot proc bands
oh, then I'm thinking of the default
I forgot the second skills for REX aren't always the unlockables
he starts with the "alt" m2 and special. You have to unlock the robot m2 and special, and the plant utility
True!
I just unlocked mercenary and artificer on the same run and then when I was testing out artificer I unlocked the artifact of metamorphosis which then changed me to merc
lol
Such a fun run :D I'm so pumped for the update tmrw morn
it's not very good but it's alright
It's kind of held back by the fact it has a 0.5 proc coefficient
it can't really compete with default secondary, specially not when razorwire, but it pairs up nicely with root
one neat thing i found out about it while doing e8 is that if there are monster in an area above you (like you are inside a container on RD) you can hit them if you aim for the roof
With who? Or it doesn't matter because what you're really hitting is the bottom of their feet clipping through the ceiling?
rex alt m2
you I wasn't scrolled up enough
Aw that's sad, I'll give it a few runs though anyways to see how it feels to use
Overloading Worm on stage 5 Acrid, ouch my run :c
I did a stupid and tried to leap into it to deal some more damage, instead of... Y'know, spitting and R'ing and
his ass like I should've
when the game hates you.
Just don't get hit, easy
it's fine
it isnt 2x ATG
but the others? yes
watch it get unstable tesla coil
What items are good for Purity Acrid ? (With spit since I didn't unlock bite)
Also I suppose
,
,
and
are all scrappable when you have Purity ?
unless if you find a printer to get 100% chance yes
Is
still worth it or not really ?
Gotcha, thanks for the answers. Didn't find any printers to get 100% so I got rid of them, didn't have many anyway
Welp, died in Bulwark's Ambry anyway, I really can't get Acrid past stage 5, or stage 6 at most
whoooo, finally found my second one by accident!
been using the codes from online, but only didn't want to spoil their locations for myself
Nice
there are some really well hidden ones will be tough to find them all
if chasing crabs wasn't an unlock it'd be more fun to do
It was pretty fun
the crabs was the worst challenge ive ever done
it takes forever
first you have to get titanic plains after looping
then you have to kick them off the edge, which is very hard to do if you have damage items and drones
also there are a bunch of other enemies you have to deal with at the same time
primordial cube
I got lucky enough to spawn on titanic plains with artifact of kin
and i got crabs
so that wasn't to bad
loader alt grapple, personal fave.
It would be cool if Artificer's jetpack boost when you first start holding space gave you a tiny boost forward
this seems useless, but it would be cool for sort of a makeshift bunny hopping
also spamming space in the sky lol
Never had that much trouble with the crabs
i didnt struggle with the crab challenge either
i think my recommendation is to play engineer and set up nigh indestructible turrets and then just chase the crabs off of the cliffs while everything else is occupied with the undying turrets
Is it normal when you exit the building area in Commencement and then get instantly destroyed by lunar chimeras or smth
wisps are the most overpowered enemies in the game
if its any of the other chimeras its just skill issue tho
As soon as I exited it just killed me within 3 seconds with a Gatling attack
yeah wisps are completely broken
extreme rapid fire, high mobility, high damage per projectile, applies cripple if perfected, can spawn as overloading on consoles, AND knockback because fuck you
fuck the chimera wisp
it is one of the worst examples of the devs just putting in numbers and going "yeah looks good"
also i really wish hopoo went back and remodeled some of the older models
like what
commando
They also really need an optimization update for both consoles and pc
i like mandos models but his animations are kinda weird
not saying redo the concept itself, just remaster some of the stuff, add battle detail for example
and for the love of god fix the hands
give base mando model more cake
yes
first ror2 game in months: go to cell vents, enemies get kjaros, enemies get atgs, get hit by a single vulture, spawns atgs, dies to nado
:C
Bruh moment
I littirally want to torture the entire heckin species of lesser wisp
Lost monsoon run cause of stupid floating ball
is there a new hero released?
the last survivor came out in march for PC, at the end of june for xbox/ps4 and 2 days ago for switch
was that bandit
unless you count heretic
Heretic was from the same update lmao

incredible

true!
After unlocking the bands, can you drop them again from the Elder Lemurians in the Aqueduct in subsequent runs ?

Loader mains may be carried but can you blame us for picking the mean punch woman
yes
Fair
the last 4-5 times I've done Void Fields, it's been
on the first item cell. What do I need to do to break the curse?
Why do you want to
Cause monsters with 50% crit chance are scary?
Don't get hit
Has there ever been direct confirmation that bandit’s alt skin is a reference to deadbolt?
gd2
yes
Where?
I don't know but its common knowledge
I guess it looks accurate enough to practically be stated in itself
Don’t like the slight ambiguity though
this is what the wiki has to say
oh, that's why the knives looked like kitched knives lol
um... i think i just had the magma worm fall off the map on rallypoint: delta. im trying to get the bandit alt special and i went invis and the worm instantly died
i think it just decided to go straight down and died off the map
ive managed to get 3 clovers and i feel unstoppable, very happy with my first run after a couple week break
nice
on huntress of all characters too, someone i rarely play
Easy, you get void fields where monsters get sticky bombs instead. That'll break your lucky streak.
i feel like there are a lot of items that would break your lucky streak in void fields
Items I fear the most would be focus crystal, goat hoof, sticky bomb, armor plating if I'm commando or acrid, atg, bands, tesla, or nukuhana's if they have mushroom monsters or some medkits.
oh, and chronobauble if there are enemy drones.
you ever seen jellyfish on red whip?
those fuckers are both hilarious and terrifying
imagine sticky bombs with overloading elites
not only do they get to put a lightning orb thing on you they can also put a bomb too
can those overloading orbs proc?
I don't think so. When an elite aspect drops or if you get wake of vultures you can also play as an overloading, and it basically works the same as a delayed brilliant behemoth explosion.
Overloading jellyfish with stickies so it can explode on you 3 times just to add insult to injury
not sure if theres a GD modded so here is the alt primary of chef from chef mod
nice
158 hours
omg its azazel
azazel from Isaac from helltaker from gd1 from the bible
isaac > bible
isaac = bible honestly

Acrid:
Complete void.
For me nowadays this one isnt hard but i could see early on it being tough. You are forced to fight in a confined arena back to back. That being said, if you spam it eventually youll get great rng and then its nearly free.
Arti:
Purchased
Not hard.
Bandit:
Reach the third stage
Also not hard imo. Probably could be brute forced
MulT:
Win stage 1 5 times
Absolutely not a problem. You can brute force spam the s1 tele pretty fast
Engi:
Complete 30 stages
Same as above but slower. Rewards your long runs better tho
Merc:
Obliterate
Requires looping. For a newer player this could be tough.
Lodr:
Beat the sirens boss
Most of the time you can attrition him down. If you really just want the unlock, clear the stage and you have infinite time to whittle away his hp. Not hard.
Rex:
Take the fuel array to abyssal
50% hp limit, no equipment. No blood shrines. No osp. Not even guaranteed to see the stage, even with lunar seers. This one has tough aspects, and annoying aspects. New and old players may need more than one try here, and thats saying something.
Captain:
Beat mith
This is basically merc but the other ending. Mithrix can be harder in many cased esp for newer players.
I think thats everything
So yea i guess in my opinion rex might be the hardest unlock haha
Then maybe cap then merc? I think obliterating is probably easier than mith despite the extra time taken
i wonder how much more difficult some of these are for blind players, since for example they probably won't find void fields by themselves
same could be said for merc i guess, since like, nobody knows how to loop until they ask here apparently
was pretty easy for me, so i guess it's just a skill issue

epic same time zone
i also love how you can faintly make out the eclipse 8 symbol in the top right
I guess thats true, finding these things blind is def different from knowing what to do and performing it
Rex still has an edge there because like wtf hahaha
Open your drop pod, not on a few chars, and then carry an equipment that will kill you without you knowing how you died multiple times, to a single possible stage, amd then find the hidden rex bot to restore.
All blind.
Wew.
so like, you can figure it out, but like
Still leaves ? For when it wont show if you like mult a lot haha, you could deduce but a bit odd
Something i hadn't considered... You have to find rex
just gonna brag yet again that my friend beat ror2 (mithrix) on his first run ever (on rainstorm) because I gave him tips 😎
You arent told its in abysall
i agree with the wiki btw

Superior engineering
What does stacking empathy cores do?
Gives em a bigger damage multiplier per ally
wait what
so they count themselves
but I forgor what do they not count
they count everything on your team
They deal 100% per thing on your team
So normally, you got yourself plus 2 of them, so 300% of their base damage
With 2 stacks, you double the amount per ally, so they deal 600% base
If you play engineer, your turrets count
So youd have 5 on your team
Thats 500% with stack, and 1000% with 2
So
Long story short....
Stacks increase their damage by 100% per haha
2 stacks? 2x damage
3? 3x
Etc
temporary stuff like squid polyps or backup drones count as well btw, cause a lot of people think they don't for some reason
wait, the wiki still says it doesn't, wtf
short story long when
i think youve said you tested this?
i remember striker testing it right after launch and they wouldnt, but i think wacky subscaling was going on and ive never like seen it myself if that makes sense
so i always forget if you did it, or we jsut talked about it
i think ive had this exact convo like uh
5 times
or something
lmao
is someone changing it back?
uh, i never actually changed it to begin with, since i didn't have an account when first testing it
yea GreatFernicus said this
so probably just was discussion and got updated and no one knew better to change it back
want me to cut it? im logged in.
if you know they do work then its worth updating, i havent tested so
yeah, they definitely work
well
hopefully i dont get harassed
the editor changed and doesnt just offer you to add a description of the change
i could undo and redo to find it but that sounds a pain
maybe they're in this discord? could always ping them
or they might have their discord # on their profile
lol
i just did a second edit and added a single space to the end of a paragraph 😎
hopefully thats uh not frowned upon. i just wanted to give a reason since my name is red owo
why is it red

i was wondering that too
maybe because im not verified?.. or dont have a personal page setup
no idea how this works. we had some borderline vandalism going on and asked them to lock out non logged in IPs, and they did
so i made an account haha
your name is red if you don't have a user page. it's just a red link cause that page doesn't exist
gotcha, i actually clicked on yours to see and thats why i thought it might have been that hahaha
i think you had done an edit jsut beforehand so were still fresh on the list
every time i edit the wiki im like oh god i hope this looks ok, i dont want people to think im just negating these thigns randomly haha
ya, you definitely should considering you know quite a bit about the inner workings of the game
the reason/descriptions are also just a courtesy thing, it isn't a big deal to leave it blank
I figured it was courtesy, but ive tracked some very questionable changes down to untagged edits. If it had said how they got that info to correct the old stuff (which was actually right) it would look a lot more credible i guess
Like if i cut or change a big portion of a page without a reason it could be kinda sus is what i feel aha
You can list classnames from ror2 source code as citations :p
Clay dunestrider feels like a troll
A extremly painful troll
Like four of them just group up and full heal

How do i beat 4 clay dunstriders on monsoon
by doing it
Don't they only heal as much damage as they deal? Surely they wouldn't heal up to full only from eachother. Were there other monsters nearby?
ive done this basically whenever i can
definitely makes me feel safer people wont assume i dont know what im talking about haha
DoTs and patience
just got serrated shiv for bandit
the achievement was slightly harder to get than I thought
either way I like this way more than serrated blade since it's ranged
There's this crazy thing called shooting
i love having to do an hour and a half run to get commandos alternate secondary. very fun.
Designed for maximum fun factor
Wait so engineer bombs doesnt count as shooting
ok, so
If someone were to get 5 rejuv racks, they'd be able to get rid of the affects of one corsepbloom, but also on top of that, they'd be getting 200x the healing they would normally get, so I think it's a good investment lol
also, since corpsebloom is hyperbolic, it's a (1+)1:1 with rejuv, so if you have 2 corpse bloom and 1 rejuv, you have 12x the healing with the downside of a single corpsebloom
Love doing this too, except I haven't done it yet, because my game froze and I'm praying to god that it won't crash and I'll have to restart it
That confused the shit out of me but i think i got it
so corpsebloom reduces the amount of health you can heal per second down to 10% of your max health.
Rejuvination rack adds +100%(+100%) healing, which means with one stack, your reduction goes from 10% to 20%, because now it's healing double
if you get 2 corpseblooms, it goes from 10% to 5%, however having that one rejuv rack brings that 5% back up to 10%, effectively nullifying the downside of one of the corpseblooms while increasing its upside by 4x because of some wonky math the game has
im following now
great :D
the math in this game looks scary, but I think the medium of the game allows it to be grasped more easily
ror2 internal math sounds like its held together by duct tape and prayer
Little toothpaste for added measure
lmao
Are happiest masks worth it?
usually not
i just pick it up if i have no other choices, eg. filled with overpowered shit
Only with clover and if you stack it
Or if you have the empathy core
consider this: happiest mask gives you beetle friends and they are really cute so
always worth it over any other item
But they are destined to die no matter what 😦
Queens glad should have a random chance to summon 3 normal/elite worker beetles. Wouldn't be useful, but people would probably love it.
stack enough masks to make their lifespan match your own
Is the item useful otherwise anyway?
It's a great distraction in the Mithrix fight
And sometimes you can sit back and enjoy it 1v1 a golem or something
Yeah, definatly not the best yellow. That role is either Urn or Knurl, depending on your character.
Unpopular opinion blight and ravenous bite are great
popular opinion by good players lol
anyways knurl is worst yellow 😎
2.133 white items lookin ass

genesis loop
electric nukes going off every 3 seconds
Only char better than engie with loop is rex, I'd assume
Not acrid, rex
The names do sound like they should be opposite, but whatever




Wouldn't the fuel thing negate the genesis loop?
maybe wait
@tired axle can you check if fuel array activation time is affected by attack speed
Acrid means corrosive rex ain't corrosive no matter one is a dog
It kills you at 50% right
one sex
wait, what's fuel array called in the files?
I'm pretty sure it kills you at half health, although I'm not positive
found
it deals 300% of your max health (health + shield) in damage, but it's actually halved since it's considered friendly fire
it deals the full 300% to enemies though
I knew it dealt high damage, but when dose it activate?
when you fall below 50% max health it enters the countdown state, and then it explodes
it's not
let's gooo
And genesis loop activates at 20% hp, right?






Or was it 25%
25%, no?
But that still makes that build somewhat useless then, right?
oh wait I could make the countdown affected by attack speed while I'm at HIT
transcedeee
true
the fuel array explosion also deals damage to enemies, and 300% max health is really beeg
But that still negates the genesis loop
Tf would the syringe do?
yeah, if you fall below 25% health before the countdown finishes you proc loop
make loop explode faster
Oh, well, it's still a full 25% health gap, and if you're collecting bungus to support your team, that's gonna be kinda hard to get to
Yes, I picked up on that hard way on ||stage 4 Mitchell||
besides, since they have dio's they don't get the fual array back for their second life
also, fuck stationary turrets
It’s purely for loop
.>
Well, I guess I can't really blame this strat, since, y'know, DIRECTIVE rex exists and all
it's the best strat though
genesis loop and syringe not really needed but still
unless you play on console, then it doesn't work


i dont find genesis loop that useful, personally. its a very very situational item
for me, its scrap. same with several boss items, namely titanic and gland
the boss items i see as useful are spleen, molten, charged, disciple, and halcyon. maybe titanic for its regen and maybe urn after it's rework, but its healing is eh. higher stacks wont be too bad, but still.
Wdym the urn is getting reworked?
it was "reworked" in anniversary, it doesn't damage allies anymore
also, urn is like literally one of the best healing items in the game, 100% base damage per second as healing is amazing
Genesis loop is practically an extra life. It kills everything that almost killed you.
It becomes useless by the time you’re able to be one shot by everything but by then you should’ve found a boss printer.
Get a role
You can do it in #gd1-nullified / #gd2-nullified if you wanna be BASED
@arctic kayak thanks
No problem
critical health got increases from 20% to 25%
related, but mostly said it just for you to know

acrid
hot
I got two pearls an one of my friends got 3 an one got 2 all in the same run an all out of the same cleaning pool what is the chances of that happening
a pearl is 20% chance out of a cleansing pool
so the chances of getting 5 red items out of large chests
not too rare but pretty lucky
if you used it a bunch of times then not rare at all
5 reds?
I never said I got 5 reds
Me an my friends got 7 irradiant pearls
My bad didn't type that right
i said its the same chance of getting 5 reds, but i guess i misread i meant 7 reds
@last meadow
Im having a small issue understanding how
unlucky stat works
it rolls +1 for an unfavorable outcome
but does it mean that it well never proc because it HAS to roll +1?
like how tf does that work
Atleast with
if something doesnt proc it rolls it +1 so it has another chance to
no, it only roles once. say theres a 10% chance to proc an item, and it does. purity rerolls it one more time, which makes the chance of proccing the item much lower. with clover, if it doesnt proc, it rerolls so you have a much higher chance of something proccing
its the same thing but purity rerolls when you procced, clover rerolls when you didnt proc
this is the equation for luck if you're curious y = 1 - (1 - p)^(x + 1)
the p is the initial chance for the item to happen and the x is your luck stat
Ok@dull ingot
ok
to add onto this, imagine the game roles your outcome and there's a dude in there that either hates you, or likes you (the hate/like is based on luck stat).
If you proc and he hates you, he'll go "I don't like [player] getting good rolls. Roll again whenever they're successful!" but if you miss and he likes you, he'll be nice and say "I like [player]! I'll allow them to reroll if they miss"
Missing with negative luck does nothing, because that's what the guy wants.
Similarly, proccing with positive luck does nothing because that's what the guy wants.
hope this helps. If it doesn't, don't worry lol
you missed the negative part of luck y = p^-(x-1) if x is negative
the p is the initial chance and x is the luck stat
the modified proc chance formula is a piecewise function, otherwise if you had negative luck, then the modified proc chance would be negative
is there a way he can hate me so much he likes me?
ror2 players calculating y = px(12x0.9^x) to find the chances of bungus dropping from their chest
what have I done
ror2 moment
nah, you just gotta get really lucky
0.7764705882% chance of happening
now calculate the chances of scavenger spawning on the first stage
impossible
like, literally impossible without waiting over an hour
can they even spawn before the first loop?
I've had it happen before with artifact of greed on, but not normally, no
wait how long does it take for them to spawn?
a while
their credit cost is really high, and they pretty much can't spawn before stage 5
i recently did a 20 stage run for 57 leaf and they only started spawning after an hour or so i think
i think ill do another run like that as well but with acrid so i can get that achievement
smart
go with sacrifice for extra power
i use artifact of command so i can be insanely op
its fun running artifact of command sometimes just so i can powertrip
btw, the skill you unlock isn't terrible, but it's for a melee play style just to let you know
i know that's why im getting it so i can pure melee acrid
naice
synergy:35

as loader
i just got the acrid thing, the Scavenger spawned around 40 minute mark in the second loop
I stuck around and got a few other achievements too cause why not
over all good run
yeah my favorite synergy is getting a bunch of generally great items /s
👏 nice
Getting to a Scav is surprisingly hard as Acrid, at least I think so, so great job on that, the Bite is very fun to use, hope you'll enjoy it as well
my combo with acrid
how fitting lol
go to #role-assignment and type t!selfrole get Acrid to get a role so you can post stuff
oh, I've unlocked everything already
Oh nice
both through cheats and legit
I got mine legit but jeez i thought about using artifacts
I unlocked everything with RoRCheats and then I realized that i basically skipped half the fun and went back and unlocked everything correct
artifacts aren't cheating, it's mostly just using mods
Oh ok ive been told differently
but I get why you'd not want to use artifacts
What do you play on
I'll say this: specifically unlocking things with artifacts is fine, and honestly encouraged if you have over 10+ hours in the game and/or at least one mastery
however, if you're doing
runs constantly, you might need to get away from that habit, because it ruins the actual challenge of the game, which is where half the fun comes from
mostly rainstorm, but I'm working my way up to monsoon slowly
I meant like plat form but yea rainstorm is good practice
ah, I'm on pc
Oh heck
I couldn't play anyways. It's late for me, and I don't even have my computer to play with rn
Oh yea its 1 am for me and im on xbox anyway
lol
there's #ror2-console-discussion if you'd like to talk about problems with console, or generally just hang out with console people
Oh brother\sister you are successful
most people are really nice, but there's a handful of people who are very shitpost-y
not bad, just.. not inviting 😆
ay, glad to hear it 😎
one word of advice
Yee 
do not use #gd1-nullified
I belive you but why
there used to be a meme channel, but it got shut down because people were a bit too dark n edgy and whatnot
everyone who hung out in that channel moved to #gd1
even before that, gd1 was just, like, kinda weird? 😆
sometimes it's a nice channel; it's mostly just whoever's talking in it
Ah ok
if you want actual game talk, though, hang out in #gd2-nullified or #ror2-game-questions. Those will be better for new players who actually want to learn
If you cant tell im not new to the game but i am to the discord
ah, got it
Yea im happy discord exists
in that case, it doesn't really matter what channel you hang out in then
just don't expect actual game discussion in gd1
Because i was falling out of risk of rain because none of my friends play so i was by myself
ah, yeah, I have a similar situation
I have a small group chat of pc players now, though, so I can get some players when I get online
there's also #lfg-xbox-ror2 for you, if you're looking for it, but just to let you know, everyone is basically doing monsoon only, and it's rare to find people actually willing to play lower
actually, I should rephrase that:
PC LFG is all monsoon, and I'm assuming the other platforms are similar. I have no idea how the console or stadia LFG channels are and what the common things are
very
VERY
yes 😆
lol
I had a really cool teacher in middle school that taught us how to type really fast. From there, it was just practice
huh, weird
Yea its dumb i was enjoying it to
