Oh, I don't think I've ever done one :/
Also, don't you love when you get hit with Bleed and Fire at the same time :') (bye bye health)
A few repulsion armor plates make those debuffs non threatening
5 less damage may sound weak but with debuffs like burn and bleed that do little ticks of damage over a period of time, that damage negation becomes very potent
Not when that damage scales up to 20% of your max health at once ;-; (Late Runs)
Get more repulsions or dodge
I usually dodge, but I don't collect movement items to help half the time ;-;
You really want to aim at being able to make as few mistakes as possible and to recover from those few mistakes
I still haven't beaten the normal ending (escaping the Moon)
I got really close this run, but I was too slow to figure out how to get out of the boss arena barrier (I didn't know the orbs teleported you)
Oh also
Do not rush through stages
Ever
People have spent ages debating and testing the different methods you could and should loot
Since I have Sacrifice, I usually stay and grind enemies for a while anyway
Oh yeah sacrifice throws the whole difficulty scaling system out the window
Even though it is a very risky gamble to collect the items most times
Not early in runs ofc
I used to just find as many chests and shrines as possible before finally leaving (then proceeding to die to Elite Brass Contraptions ganging up on me with Elit Lesser/Greater Wisps)
Overall you dont wanna rush though
Items scale you faster than time scales the enemies
True, I just suck at dodging :p
Also, the Null Portal is a must-do each run, right? (Like, that's free items and levels)
Eh you dont really need it but its always an option
I have almost every Survivor now :) (only missing 2)
I have no clue how I got half of them ngl
(I was literally just playing normally)
Sacrifice + Command very much throws the game's balance off the cliff
Like individually they already do that. Together they just make the game too easy
Not if you get brass contraptions with crowbars
Or Lemurians with Shurikens!
It's just fun for me :p (I like the risk of greediness)
I did not need to be reminded of that ;-;
At least ya cant get parents with tesla coil anymore
Anything with Tesla coil was fatal
Casual run (removed Sacrifice)
(This run is somehow more broken than any Bandit run I've done)
tbh next time you get a boss item you should get a little disciple or something
a second shatter spleen really doesn't do much iirc
It does help with how many enemies crowd up tho :p
Yo so like, haven’t touched ROR2 in a minute since before seekers of the storm dropped and I was wondering should I get the ps5 upgrade or nah, since I’ve been kinda getting the urge to play ROR2 again? Does it even transfer progress
Console chat
You need cloud storage (ps+) to transfer progress
i didnt need it when i got the upgrade
You should combine ukeleles and ancient meat hooks on top of all that next time if you want really cool chains of effects
Question I had ror2 on ps4 and I’ve unlocked almost everything and even purchased the void pack but when i downloaded the ps5 version (free upgrade) will the dlc and progress really not transfer? Or is there a fix for this???
I think breaching fin needs a little tweaking
I WANTED MY EMPATHY CORES AND THE DAMN MAGMA WORM SAID "GET DOWN MR PRESIDENT!"
Merf is still goated
I’m 3 achievements away from the platinum
I’ve never done a prismatic trial before I should probably do that…
nvm I forgot the plat counts as one
I was about to say
Well that was easy
Prismaticly aligned and glorious battle are done
Just need to launch crabs
YEAHHHHG
unrelated i dont think ive ever seen a game with only one gold trophy
I’ve seen some with none
Roblox only has one
And is one of the very few games with no platinum
Some games have a million bronzes And nothing else iirc it's because games have a limit on trophy value
Little nightmares and needy streamer also come to mind
Anybody else been experiencing this camera bug?
Yup, you can fix It by going into the logbook through the pause menu
Ah ok thx
theres xbox playstation crossplatform capability, right?
Nope, sorry
why is this fricking game so anti friend
there's never been crossplay, they've never promised crossplay
Can't blame em really. Crossplay is so much more work then I can probably even imagine.
Hope in the future crossplay becomes an easier feature to incorporate into games but I think that's wishful thinking.
At this point I rather gearbox add servers and make multiplayer more stable than crossplay.
I honestly pray they dont even start thinking about implementing crossplay because with how bad the pc to pc crossplay is, you couldnt even imagine how bad console crossplay would be
Might just break a little bit too much of the game to be worth it in the slightest
I finally have all the items unlocked
Fun fact:
more people have the risk of rain 2 platinum trophy then people have false son unlocked
I mean, dlc items are not needed for platinum in games
Proof or it didn’t happen
Did I just phase skip a gup???
I've started to notice the PS5 version crashing a bit more frequently. However, like wertus mentioned earlier for the switch, it doesn't seem to be caused by too much stuff happening at once for the ps5 version either
I've literally had it happen on the first cell of vields on stage 2
Oh yeah that just sometimes happens for non hosts
Sometimes you can even stand on them, confusing the hell out of the host.
Sooo i killed false son with the halcyon seed in my inventory but i checked the log book and it dosent say i unlocked him
if you kill false son before auri actually spawns, iirc you dont get false son
Dlc came out later than the base game some people just platnium and move on. Also wasn't the dlc just not very fun prior to the item reworks?
Platinum in a game usually only requires the trophies from the base game
What the- what kinda spawn is this???
Console
Indeed
I mean thats just the top of the high plateau
Yeah, but I've never spawned there
Also, I AM SPEED
Yeah it is quite a rare spawn
Unsure if I ever spawned up there myself actually
I wonder if there's some more rare spawn points there
I once spawned inside some structures of scorched acres
I bet theres a couple other spots where you could spawn in a way that lets you clip into the map
I've never clipped into the map, but it's always funny watching the beetles do it (casually hopping through rocks)
Also, my Attack Speed is so high
These poor fellas get bombarded by missiles
i am not
:(
:(
After 2 hours i now have 70 irraited pearls
I ate them, sorry :(
please dont eat my dlcs. 
But they're tasty :(
seekers of the storm will probably taste like ass, sorry.
Haven't gotten it, I play base game :) (I forgot that there was DLC tbh)
u shud get survivors of the void. 
I still haven't even fully beat the normal ending 💀 (I am the skill issue)
I killed the final boss, but I didn't escape in time (literally 4% off too smh)
skill issue goes crazy.
Survivors of the void is very good
Sots had a very rough start
It's in a good position now with updates and the item reworks
How to unlock other characters
The challenges section in the logbook should list the requirements to unlock each survivor. Some might be confusing so if you have someone in particular you'd like clarification on, you can ask
Those are DLC survivors
Do yall think we will get another dlc pack or nah
Being as we have a shitton of characters in rorr I imagine they could do some kind of either free dlc or a whole new dlc pack to integrate some of those survivors into ror2 and if so that will be cool ash
Prob not...if they do add them it will most likely be a big update where you would have to go to a secret place to unlock them
We would still get those characters and the game would be 100× even better
So what if it's hard to unlock em look at false son and void fiend
My game randomly opens without seekers of the storm and it's starting to get incredibly annoying
Uhm actually I have no idea how to fix it now
For some reason the store says I haven't bought SotV, which I most definitely have. But it's SotS that doesn't appear ingame???
Fixed it, apparently I just had to update my Playstation.
So is this channel like the little brother of #ror2-discussion no one talks about
No this channel is the science lab/asylum for us console folk to rant and experiment about console exclusive bugs and similar stuff
Its nowhere near as brainrotten as ror2 discussion
I’m pretty sure the only reason this channel exist was because several console player was begging the manage or who’s in charge for this way back in the anniversary update for console
This channel existed thanks to the 1.0 update, where console exclusive bugs started to exist, before the 1.0 update there were bugs but they were not console exclusive, it was the same bugs as PC but the hot fix that fixed it didn't got applied to the console version at release of each update before the 1.0 update, so once the console exclusive bugs started to exist on the 1.0 update every console player when to #ror2-bug-reports-console to chat because for the first time we were in another game in comparison to PC and if we discussed about console on the general discussion we got the classic answers of "just get a PC" and things like that, so to make the console bug report channel only for bugs and the console players can discuss about the console version they create this channel.
That makes sense, I only started playing around early 2020 when sotv was getting hyped up. I sure bought the bought version.
Idk why but I feel like Bandit is my hardest to use character. I've had numerous runs with him on Eclipse and have yet to beat E1 with him. I got SO CLOSE yesterday even defeating Mithrix but I somehow died when charging the ship and I feel like I'm literally the only person to ever die charging the rescue ship in the history of RoR2
I just tend to have a lot of uphill battles in my Bandit runs for some reason.
Even Rex I have an easier time with, and I don't like Rex at all
Bandit has one of the easiest early games, as long as you take advantage of his backstab passive, the main thing that he struggles with is proc chains, his shotgun each pellet has 0.5 proc coefficient, both of his secondaries has 1.0 proc coefficient with a 4 seconds cooldown ( if I remember correctly the cooldown) and you have the melee option which has AoE but it's melee and the range one is better for not taking that much risk but really small projectile, 1.0 proc coefficient on his utility but you have to be close range and his specials both of them have 1.0 proc coefficient but 6 seconds cooldown, lights out can help you to proc more items but the longer the run the harder is to do the final blow with it and desperado is pure raw damage but you don't have the versatility/utility of lights out.
So you have to play really carefully as bandit, take your time and try your best to take advantage of the backstab
I mean, dying on the ship especially on bandit is quite the skill issue and overall bandit is the most scuffed character to fight Mithrix on.
Bandit learning/difficulty curve is on the larger sides compared to the other, so just keep playing and build up your own experience.
Anyone on PlayStation tryna game?
How to play with mnk
You cant
Now that’s a lot of damage
Wtf did you do for your music to music
Music cutting of for me is a more lot rare somehow, like every 10 min it wil cut out for a couple of seconds, doesn't really matter since I don't play with audio tho.
So it might reduce in frequency with more playtime after all
Like how it was back when it was a lot tamer in the sotv update
My account had so much bugs already so the other ones barely fits in.
Sigma
"Finish teleporter with less than 10% health"
Would it be able to artifact if glass and just take a little fall damage with this or would I need to actually do it the normal way
Artifact of glass wouldn’t really help so much
Doable, but makes you a little more fragile than you’d expect and more frustrating than this other method, IMO.
Try getting the teleporter up to about 97-98%, then stepping outside it and taking damage until you’re very low, then stepping back in
Alright, tyvm ^^
you're welcome! you've got this!
Erm so after finally buying seekers of the storm finally, I have come to discover that false son, seeker, and pretty much all the new items are pretty busted
And chef just exists idk
Chef is perfection
He’s a funny little guy
Maybe don't update when GB drops phase 3 then lol
old chef is going to be lost media when phase 3 drops, how unfortunate
No fucking way
PlayStation network being under maintenence means I can't use SotS ugghhh 😫
Can use SotV for some reason so like ??? Idfk anymore man
@short iris try going to your consoles settings, go to the internet settings and turn off your consoles ability to connect to the internet
last time there was a maintainace i did that and ror2 worked fine
Wait, I thought the license thing was only xbox?
If there is a license issue, I'm pretty sure it can be fixed to not be dumb next time
I've been having a lot of issues with Sots licenses recently tbh
Aight I'll give this a try at some point, thanks
This gotta have been the best engi run I’ve had so far.
Wtf kind of luck luck is 4 clovers and icbm
Stage 5 printer luck went crazy
When psn servers gonna be fixed
Someone help
I need to play risk of rain
I require assistance
Pretty new to the game and looking for any tips/homies to play with. Any help is welcome! ❤️
Sigma
Indeed
Is there an issue playing ror2 offline or were you just looking for mp?
Im sharing my ps acc
And i dont play mp
Dang
PlayStation servers have been down I believe is what it is. People have been whining all day, since it's the Helldivers Anniversary.
I think the PSN is back up
W
On Xbox there is one, if you don't have an internet connection you can't play with the dlcs.🫠
That's only xbox, no other system though
Which is why I was confused since they were on ps
Hiiii guys what weee talking abot
it happens on both ps and xbox
wow thats ass
its been a known issue for i think since sotv dropped on console
Isn’t it like that because Microsoft and Sony was being annoying with the licensing stuff
not entirely sure, i found just going into the system settings and turning off the internet makes the game work fine
I've never had a licensing issue like that. Weird
I don’t really remember the details but I do not think it was gearbox choice for the dlc require a internet connection
I enjoy that my first time beating the game (I only got it 2 days ago)
Is on an invincible merc
5 alien heads with base moveset
Do lunar wells still spawn? I've been trying to get pearls for a bit now
Only on certain stages, the wiki says which ones
Idt they’re guaranteed on those stages tho
Np
It’s back
A little good news to go with it everyone who had ps plus got 5 free extra days
K
Crazy speed run and world record sub 5 minute false son completion!
Tynkers and blxs :)
Sub five minute false son speed run
Oh boy 5 days of PlayStation plus that’s like
60 cents aud
I say better then nothing but i think i be fine with nothing lol
I feel like it was just them pro rating the days lost
LOL
I got the dlc with 2 blood vials😂✌🏽
@fossil mortar So that's what you're talking about
Was that boss supposed to be hard or somethin'?
tbf command run
Is that rainstorm?
it’s really hard when not in command
I still die with Command tbh (I am the skill issue)
Usually due to Elite Elder Lemurians suddenly sniping me
I did it
(I had no idea what reincarnate did and reincarnated with a Grey item)
I hope one day they add mod support for console bc I saw some dude on yt playing with a modded survivor Belmont from castlevania and it looked cool af
That's never happening
Yep mod support is purely fictitious
Nope. Andd also it's been patched out since SotS for PC.
I’ve never seen Mithrix do that before
Can a gold altar spawn in stage 1
Yes I believe so, I have only had it happen on monsoon difficulty though(possibly just an rng thing but i know that how i have had it happen)
I don't remember when if it was 1.0 or anniversary update but I remember that there was a bug on switch that when Mythrix jumps he didn't jump back to the center of the arena, he jumped back in the same place where he jump initially.
He jumped back to the center after this tho
Welp, modern Risk of rain 2 shenanigans, you laugh at the moment,then you report it and hopefully it get fixed in the next update if it's really bad, until then you just enjoy.
-omegacalvin.
iirc mithrix already cant be stunned
unless you count tentabauble ig but he can easily get out of it
I finally found a pool and now I'm too fast for my own good lol I have 30 irradiant pearls
do not get 5 tentas and then not have a phase 4 skip, worst mistake of my life
Most stuns stop him, even cap's secondary
I never tested caps secondary but stun grenade doesn't stun him
I think cap's tazer is a different effect
Hello
I wanna play ror2
But i don’t wanna play single player cuz it’s getting boring
Are u PlayStation
Yes
What’s ur psn
unless gearbox recently changed how captains secondary works it doesn't have any effect on mithrix
I don't think it works on bosses.. I may be wrong tho
Coming from a (used to be) captain main, No it doesn't.
Ik this is a pretty late response tho 😅
The only difference between stun and shock is the duration (a changeable value vs 5 seconds that gets cut short by taking too much damage). Their effect and also the things they apply to seem to be identical
:3
:3
There are 3000000 rockets homing onto your exact position :)
I play on Nintendo switch, sometimes when there's a lot of noise, the music in a level just stops. Does anyone have a way to fix or avoid this?
I hate these fellas
nope besides praying it doesn't go off lol
funni
How to reduce lag from effects
No.
You can't.
Mute the game itself and put the music through your phone, done, you can now hear the games music on switch.
This is the only solution that comes to my mind because the music cutting out is because of lag and each console limitations, on Xbox series x doesn't happen unless you are in REALLY late game runs (stage 30-40 and above) but because switch is the weakest console where you can play RoR2 this means that at early stages you create enough stress to the switch hardware that the music cuts out.
that is in fact not the problem
the music work the same in early game as it does in late game
as in it doesn't work no matter what part of the game youre in kekw
boy i hope somebody got fired for that blunder
If Calvin theory is correct the music should cut completely when you play enough but it doesn’t, it’s just bugged.
That is odd
I've only seen something like that happen for Umbral Mithrix
Like I wrote, "on Xbox series x it doesn't happen unless you are in REALLY late game runs", from my testing when the music cuts outs with my Xbox series and the switch of my little brother I noticed that once you create a lag spike (accumulating effects, calculations and all those things) that is where the music cuts out, for switch between less powerful performance and maybe less optimization it makes it really common the cut outs of music but on my Xbox they don't happen unless I have 2-3- clovers in a really late run where only scavengers and bosses starts to spawn with their effects and all the shenanigans and I having all the proc items, at this point my Xbox starts to have lag spikes and the musical starts to cut out.
This is from my testing, it may just be just bad optimization but I just wanted to bring it to the table.
Music would cut out on the switch 5 minutes into a run with basic items often. It never felt tied to things going on in the background
So it's optimization then.
Yeah, I don’t remember lagspikes having any relevance to the music cutting out unless the sounds was getting in they way for the music. And speaking from experience generally it really did cut out random with no pattern,
Welp....
i don't know what else to say, I just enjoy the game and I prefer to not to think about the problems too much. 
:4
It gets annoying at some point when basically every other switch player keeps complaining about the music even in multiplayer.
tbf it a pretty big issue that should've been fixed a long time ago
thank god i dont play the switch version anymore lol
Yeah, It's a little annoying but you can say the tip I gave, mute the in-game music and put the game music on your phone.
Yeah, I’ve been playing without audio for years. But it’s still annoying
Actually I did notice that a decent portion of music cutouts got accompanied by a lag spike
Not the first time a bug was worked differently for me
:5
yo are there any plans to make ror2 crossplatform?
why not?
Way too much work and effort for far too little reward
that actually makes sense
It would also most likely be buggy as hell as the steam to epic games crossplay (both pc) itself is already a buggy mess
oh, that is probably true
The game should at least be in a good state before attempting adding in crossplay, praying for terraria to be successful in adding crossplay.
oh yeah i forgot theyre adding that, sounds cool
im waiting for the character buff then i will continue to play ror2 🗿
Its the void dlc good
It adds more depth to the game, the characters are fun, the items are fun. Enemies are harder but the items are better so it pretty much evens out. Having new stages on the main path is also very refreshing
Ok
Both DLC are fun and worth it imo.
Both the new bosses suck tho
The items / stages alone are cool enough
Hello console enthusiasts
Just realized how ridiculous good war bond stack making it more it do more than double it damage on the second stack.
Anyone tryna go some rounds on ps,?
I have decided to remind everyone of the fateful time known as the SOTS release day
The bosses are alright. I personally think False Son is slightly better than Voidling, but all the other content you get from both DLC's are completely worth it.
Dear god no
Happy Valentines Day
No happy you reminded me of hell
Happy day after Valentines Day
:3
happy day after valentines
Wheres pregacrid
In ror2 discussion
Console discussion had its own troubles
oh
any one on playstation wanna do multiplayer eclipse
can a playstation play with an xbox?
No
ok
In the mithrix boss fight, one of the lunar chimeras fell through the map so we can’t kill it. Is there any easy way to get out of the arena so we can go kill it or are we screwed?
We’re a railgunner, engineer, and a seeker
I’ve had that happen before and didn’t find any solutions
How is ror2 compare between ps5 and switch?
Switch naturally has worse performance (although its not unplayably bad) and has worse bugs
Ty
Hello, I need help, I want to complete the "her concepts" achievement but I've got the bug where the skeleton just won't spawn. I need someone to host a multiplayer game and help reach the skeleton
I play on Switch
can you play between consoles? can i play on xbox with a playstation friend?
No
No
that's too bad
hey, im a newer player of the game, recently bought void and was wondering if anyone wanted to play the game with me? I play on xboxc
you'll have somewhat better luck asking in #lfg-xbox-ror2!
WHERES WHAT?
Nah I think I'm good
Any switch players around here?
Anyone want to play?
Hey guys I need some help. I redownload the game on my switch (my PC is broken) and for some reason nkuhntas opinion isn't unlocked but I went to the cave and the skeleton isn't there. Any ideas on how to fix this?
Yes please, I need a favour
I’m not very good I may not be able to help you, but I’ll try
I am decent and can help too
Anyone on switch rn ☺️?
Any idea why I can't play the dlc I payed for offline on xbox? Genuinely, I hate playing connected to internet but now survivors of the void doesn't load at all
It's specifically how the xbox handles the dlc license. It checks online on startup for the license instead of storing it locally. If you aren't connected then, you can't use it. For some reason, Microsoft decided to do this
I miss the days of old, I guess I'll just connect
Same
No cross play with pc
no, there's no crossplay across any systems
Kinda sad cuz all my friends play on pc
time to get one!
Yes
But wats the reason of no cross play between console and pc
Im still confused
pc version was built using steam's networking back end, so it's all peer to peer. crossplay would require dedicated servers
Can you type in the console commands on Xbox?
assuming your xbox actually recognises your keyboard, yeah
it just might be a problem on like the older xbox consoles, i doubt they all register keyboards
these being all of the keybinds to open
although most commands are disabled without a mod (debugtoolkit) that enables them again
it's like a level of access thing that is normally not granted
No, there’s no such thing as a console command on any console.
Such a misleading name
Acrid gaming
Does it work on ps too?
i think they disabled kb/m functionality in the update last year actually :(
:(
Anyone wanna play on Nintendo switch around 4:00pm EST
Hello. I’m considering getting this game on PS4 as part of a Buy Two Get One Free Deal at GameStop. I have a few questions.
-
Does the physical PS4 disc version come with PS5 upgrade?
-
The physical PS4 disc version is supposed to come with Risk of Rain 1. Is that from a code that might not be present in a used version, or is it on the disc?
-
How does save data and trophy data transfer from the ps4 to ps5 version? I heard it was rough when the ps5 version came out. Did it improve?
first question idk
second question yea its on the disk itself
third question i transferred my save when the ps5 version first released and from my experience everything transferred smoothly and all trophies i got automatically unlocked when i opened the game
From what I remember hearing, if you own the ps4 version and have a ps5 you should be able to get the ps5 version. So the physical version should probably work.
Are they even still making physical versions of RoR for consoles or is that just an old one?
I remember seeing a physical switch version in store not so long ago
I believe this is right though some games make you pay a reduced price to upgrade? like I remember i owned call of duty cold war on ps4, and i could play it on ps5 but to upgrade it to the ps5 version it was like 10 dollars. but it might be different for this
#ror2-console-discussion message
It does say “all existing and new player will be upgraded for free” so it shouldn’t be a problem
Is there any split-screen local multiplayer for the ones on Switch?
First question yes the PS4 is ps5 compatible but it doesn't have a disk with PS5 on it
No
Ah crap, thanks
No, it's only for x box bc gearbox is stupid
Yes
Make sure you have the ps5 versiom
Yes
Nope
Ps+ only needed for online play, doesn't affect splitscreen multiplayer either
Anyone down for switch multiplayer? Let me know within the hour from now ❤️
Depends on the time, ps players aren’t on late except a few
Also artifact of command is a common occurrence
Not when I play
I never use command
I don’t either
Top reason why i stopped playing multiplayer
joining pubs is such a bore
like wow i loooove seeing drizzle and command every single time
<@&559786374228738069>
valiant_raccoon_25777 was banned.
Thanks suncles
Imma be real I'd be somewhat fine with joining random pubs even with command if sacrifice wasn't common
I've tried sacrifice once barring pubs getting nemmercs alt special and like
Man it is the most boring thing ever
I do think sacrifice is worse than command but I do still hate command
Anyone plays on switch?
Me
Can you play with me tmrw?
Gonna be honest I’d forget
then dont forget
I am destroying everyone, i literally one tap the 2 stone giants that spawns
There was an image, byt there was a reflexion of my face on it so removed it
Is it good?
Second artefact on the same run
It had 160k hp at the begining of the fight, and at the end 430k, had to use 7 keys, and with all the elites enemies it was so hard almost died if it wasn't for camping under the map
Lenses?
the red glasses
that's the way to go, honestly
?
the first white item you have lol
Oh crit
Need to find one lol
I am speedrunning to obliterate myself soi don't buy too much, but i missed the portal on the 8th so i am looping a second time by goign artefact to get it on my 10th
Of what?!
What are void ennemies!?
Wait so it isn't as simple as hoping in a portal and activating a totem?
Yes it is
But the more you loop, the higher the change of them spawning
I think — or maybe only if you have the SotV DLC, but can’t confirm that
Yes i think only if you have the void dlc
I didn’t, thanks for the advice
@sullen tendon remember how you wanted to play
Wdym?
You asked me if I wanted to play today
Scroll up
I don’t mean to sound passive aggressive if I do
hello

So uhh I'm bad at the game,
Not the worst but relatively bad and I have ZERO idea of how I could possibly beat the game on monsoon difficulty, any tips for the best method..?
Do not stress over it, keep practicing is my first piece of advice. Make sure to always be moving and remember that items scale you faster than time scales enemies but even with that in mind don't frivolously waste time
Oh ok I've just been scared cause I've only tried it a few times and failed miserably but that was a bit ago so I may try again
Mostly I meant what is (in ur opinion) the best "way to play" as in survivor I know now that lens maker glasses are a necessity
personally i prioritize speed first, damage next, damage reduction next, and healing last
i didn't do this but probs looking up survivors guides on youtube will help
also unlocking items will help too if youre new to the game because some of the unlockables are pretty helpful
It's old school advice at this point, but the 1 item per minute rule is the best baseline to get a feel for how to play efficiently enough to not get outscaled by time while also looting enough to not get outscaled by the stage-to-stage difficulty jumps (and note that it doesn't mean literally getting a new item every moment-to-moment minute of gameplay, just to try to keep the number of minutes in your run and the number of items you pick up relatively similar)
Oh I'm only playing monsoon bc the only unlocks left are the monsoon ones
Eventully you'll naturally develop a sense for when you can bend the rules (like spending excess time dicking around potrolling in aqueduct because bands are really good)
I spent like an hour getting death do us part...(I absolutely DESPISE those jugs of oil)
In terms of more specific item prioritization, it depends on the character, but everyone likes mobility items and most of the damage items, short of instances like bleed on Loader (because all of your damage is coming from giant singular hits that are not very good at continuously building stacks)
For monsoon my general priority is Healing (literally any) > Mobility > Damage > Damage Reduction > Healing (actual investment)
Healing is both somewhat important to have so you can hit blood shrines and void cradles without limping around for the rest of the stage, and relatively unimportant to stack because most of the good healing sources are pretty low investment to reach a point where you probably won't die unless you're taking enough sequential hits that healing isn't really going to help anyway
What would you say is the best healing item? Usually I get bungus
a few cautious slugs is probs the best type of healing you get
at least imo its better than most healing items
For healing specifically, I usually just stack a few slugs and leave it at that, getting most of your bar back on the move for the low low price of not taking damage for a few seconds is a pretty good bargain
real
If you have the 1st dlc, Wungus is good for basically the same reasons, since the activation condition is just running around (which you're obviously going to be doing anyway)
Slug wouldn't happen to be a dlc item would it..?
For items that aren't direct healing, happening across a few brooches can be nice, since once your build is fully revved up you'll basically have a full second healthbar in any aoe situation
Oh nvm I'm dumb
Slug is basegame, and I think not even an unlock
For basic mobility, goat hooves are the GOAT, being sufficiently fast makes your life astronomically easier 100% of the time, and a few hopoos pretty much entirely trivialize everything in the Mithrix fight aside from the pizza attack and are nice to have besides
Damage is all good for the most part, just use your better judgement on if a given character makes the best use of a particular item since it's pretty intuitive what is good on who (and, for that matter, what is equally good on everyone)
Come to think of it, which char are you trying for the clear with, anyway?
Anyone honestly but mostly engineer, mercenary or Captain
Engineer can have a pretty easy time as long as you have enough mobility to play keep away with Mithrix, since turrets getting your items is super strong for a variety of reasons (having three entities worth of on hit effects blowing up a boss is, surprisingly, pretty good)
Turrets also distract him a bit, which can be nice
She already is?
Hi everyone.
Just wanted to know if the console version is playable now ? Heard the DLC launch was pretty harsh
@hot hill no differences between ps4 and ps5 version, right ?
Ps5 version handles post loop effects better and has splitscreen coop but otherwise about the same
Thanks a lot
How do you guys feel about lysate cell slicing winds builds
Fun to play
Didn’t even know you could redirect shots from the brass construction with hes mines 😭
Pretty sure that’s just multiplayer lag
It may be multiplayer lag but Damm, the timing was nuts, doing it at the same time as his mines detonate really looks funky.
just dont get lag 
Console
I hate console

Hello
What framerate does the current switch version run at?
I've had the game on switch since 2019 and I swear it used to be smoother but can't find numbers for the post dlc version
There are usually framedrops after a couple stages but its manageable
But, is it 60 still?
I thought it was 30
It's what I'm trying to figure out. Pre DLC version I'm pretty sure the game ran better. Some threads on reddit and gamefaqs also mention it running at 60fps, however I can't find a hard graph/source for the data.
I don't think it was ever 60
It never was
Guys how do I transfer ps4 ror2 save to ps5
You have to do it through your ps5 settings, go there and scroll down to "saved data and game/app settings" here you can select your saved data in ay game and transfer it to your ps5. To do thatgo to saved data(ps4) download or delete from cloud (you will have to have at least a ps plus essential sub to do this). This gives a list of every game with saved data you played on your ps4 so now look for risk of rain 2 and once you do you can download and transfer all your progress. IMPORTANT: once you do this any progress you make on the ps4 version after the transfer will not carry over. Meaning if you unlock anything important after the transfer it wont carry over even after another transfer from my experience. This might of been fixed.
For me the game would drop frames heavily after stage 5 and on the moon. On the ps5 verion that never happened from.my memory
Artificer on console is abysmal
Have to turn off aim assist to lead wisps and pests
I wish I looked at the wiki before playing with purity
Lower cooldowns is awesome, and if you are simply lucky enough it has no downside so 👍
So I have to play using the ps4 version on the ps5?
there’s a ps5 version of the game on the playstation store
Yea but when I start it it doesn’t give me a option to transfer save from the ps4 version
have you gone all the way like and played the game cause that’s what i did and it worked for me, there wasn’t an option it just automatically carried over
chat does ANYBODY play console
You gotta specify playstation 😭
Aint much a switch or xbox user could do to help you unlock fs except some words of encouragement
LMFAO
Is it normal that on ps5 the Game always frezzes for the non host player
My friend always gets kicked out after a few stagges
this is a pretty dominant pc game with all of the mods and with the bad history of how the devs treated the console port for a long time
wait how did i end up in console discussion

hi
Hi, I'm thinking about getting this game since its only $6 right now but I just wanted to know, how is the performance? I heard apparently it was buggy but it got fixed?
Why is it so hard to get a multiplayer crew
Every system but the switch runs fine under most circumstances without lag and most of the bugs have fixed, especially the bigs ones
Can you get the pride meridian skin playing on drizzle cause if i gotta play one more game of artificer i might just crash tf out
There is no difficulty requirement for prime meridian skins
You can do it on drizzle, you can do it on monsoon, whatever floats your boat
Damn this place dead asf
Switch runs fine to be honest
Yeah, it runs well, just not the best fps
At least I can play on the plane 
Does anyone here not have Titanic plains log?
The only thing I'm missing in game is disturbed impact log 😭
giga chad pre sotv dlc on switch handling literally any run and it not crashing vs virgin post sotv dlc on switch music bugging out a few seconds after spawning in
Take me back
At least back in sotv, the music eventually just kinda fixed itself after a bit of playtime for some reason
Now its just there no matter what you do and is not only triggered even more frequently but sticks around for far far longer
And we didnt have the random crashing
Imagine costplay
Imagine crossdressing
Imagine cross-contaminating
Peak
I got summon.
Update jumpscare
Oh damn void field rework sure didn’t expect that
Is crossplay on the roadmap?
Why is the switch music still broken
No music bug fix 🛏
Fr
Yeah, the void fields changes look really interesting, enemies getting more items the longer would be brutal but a nice touch so you don't stay farming in the first cell.
Lovely, thanks gearbox

This is deeply hilarious to me
We love void fields.🫠
Unstable transmitter truly has just become a regen elixir now
Yep but I believe it will come back in the next stage, I believe.

Yes
All the items are still really good engie items so I can't complain
I can continue eating crayon shavings at maximum efficiency
No, and it will likely never happen either
Are we going to get a better split screen UI at some point?
Why does music not play on Switch?
Music is an important factor in this game for me (and pretty sure it also is for many others!)
I'd love to see it fixed
It defintely is. Sorry it's not working for you
Why was that even touched?
Idk but I hate vields so maybe this redeems em for me
Many people have been complaining about the out of nowhere devotion changes they have made.
Okay, I feel they went a little too hard with the nerf bat
Nah I think this is fine
But I'll play a few rounds to see if my opinion changew
Also
You guys need to check out what the new fs laser looks like
I havent seen it myself but I know what it is and BOI I dont want to spoil it
Oh shit, they fixed the burn bug?
Yes
Nice
Yeah, after taking another look, the nerfs do seem alright
The nectar one I actually like because I would lose control of movement after a couple and other movement items
Unstable transmitter nerf hurts but it really needed it
It was a must grab
The patch notes didn't mention it but I guess they took off the warped echo cd reduction per stack
lul
Pretty sure war bond still scales with damage items
Notes didn't say the damage scaling was reduced
Does switch have music now
Just that it couldn't proc stuff
Give it back
That makes it Probably the most disappointing nerf for me, I was begging them to get rid of the percentage damage since day 1.
Yeah, it really should be a flat amount
It having proc chance wasn't the main thing that made it a problem but it helped
% damage was the real killer
antler shield being nerfed probably is my most disappointed nerf, it losing that speed benefit in my eyes makes it kinda useless to me as id rather have consistent speed from hoof or the energy drink
Did they fix switch music cutting out 💔
apparently not
that sucks, motion controls but no music or music but no motion controls
thats what hoof and drinks are for though
Yeah, antler shield is supposed to probably be moreso a traversal mobility item, since it's much harder to grab orbs when you're being bombarded
i think it couldve been a great green
Yeah, it has the complexities of a green honestly
if it was a green id personally never voluntarily pick it up lol
it would be a pretty good green, since most greens are scrap
did they increase the speed per orb though from 12 to like 17
Nope
oh damn
Honestly it's just balanced now
then its just worse than a hoof if thats the case
You're still able to get 36% speed from one antler
Yeah actually it definitely is
should probably be hotfixed or something
So if you have an antler and drop another one just hope you can scrap it
it should be like +2 orb cap per stack now since that would be +24% but still work with the item's mecahnic
the way i see it id much rather have the hoof for its consistent speed than anter with its inconsistent speed
Well sometimes you just don't get the hoof
i mean ill take whatever speed i can get most times
Antler is like a white red whip which is appreciate a lot since it makes looting faster on slower characters
Yep
Ok I fought fs
How it was?
It was peak... well I cant quite give a real verdict because I was on drizzle command
But the fight definitely felt a LOT cleaner
I can do a rainstorm not command
Only issue Im having is that the thunder has too much knockback
Got thrown around like a pinball
I was about do to it vanilla monsoon but I accidentally pressed the normal teleporter on stage 3
What’s the update on console for?
Yeah, every platform has the update.
I got spare drone parts nvm have to scrap or reset for a good fight
Oh... I misunderstood the question.
I haven’t been on my pc today so I didn’t see it was all platforms
What’s the update include may I ask
Bruh
I’ll spare you
False Son fight adjustments and item balance
Read the update notes
I like that War bonds are not having a proc coefficient now.
NOO the switch audio still cuts out
Yep
OH RIGH BUT
during the fs fight at least the music lasted much longer and came back much quicker
Eh, I prefer if it did have a proc coefficient but instead just got rid of the percentage base damage
So the bug might be a little bit less severe now
Don’t bruh me I just got home from working all day you non bender
This just means they tried to fix it but couldn’t do it entirely😭
Honestly I'll take anything
That could be an excellent alternative.
It was too much having % damage plus proc coefficient.
I thought I was in the ror2 discord not helldivers

Yeah, but as it stand it seems war bond still benefits from damage items since even and is not black listed from turrets
Has anyone else experienced the domain of pc
did this update have any QOL stuff for console
Not necessarily
mainly multiplayer has been cooked for my group
I am looking into some console specific... THE TREES
Anyways so yeah nothing confirmed
lol
yeah
hopefully at some point
nothings too game breaking, but it is annoying playing on multiplayer and someone cant get out of the drop pod.. or after a few stages someones just black screened or they spawn into the stage dead
they did fix merc on console tho recently so thats good
Anyone know if they finally fixed the environment logs for Viscous falls and Disturbed impact?
Viscous was never bugged, disturbed we dont know yet
Awesome. Guess I gotta do some grinding for Viscous - it wouldn't spawn for me 😦
And youre sure you lost all your save data
Like no other accounts you might have switched to?
It was on my acc so yea..
Rip
There's no way to recover everything? 😭
How would I see those on xbox
Idk I dont own an xbox
Is switch audio still Fucking Stupid y’all
Yes
Was abt to ask this, why it still broken oyscohwcpscoyscoshpjwpuscohecye
honestly after not playing the switch version for a few months it honestly isnt as bad as i remembered, the performance is almost comparable to pre rebuild
its just the audio bugging out that really brings the whole experience down
And the audio might be slightly better again
I still gotta get a better feel for the average but in the few runs I did, it did feel like the music cut out a bit less frequently and sometimes recovered after just a couple seconds
It might just be placebo but it also might actually have been toned down
I do genuinely also just love having motion controls compared to only sticks like xbox, and the fact you can turn the sensitivity so high is really nice
At least there’s gup :D
||I DIDN'T EXPECT THE LASER COMING OUT OF THE GIANT STATUTE IN THE BACKGROUND, HOLY MOLY, I LOVED THE JUMPSCARE.||
Wait....
There, spoilers.
Not even the drones are safe with the new halcyonites.
The enemies got a white item as a third item instead of a green one.
5 white items on the enemies in the final cell.
Gearbox try to actually make switch an enjoyable experience (third try: failed)
Actually it’s more like the 7th thinking about every patch that’s crazy
If i download the new update in the middle of a run will it reset my run?
Probably if it closes the game
ok, good thing i didnt
i loops and was quite far in a stage and decided to not risk it
They need to add crossplay in NOOOOW💔💔💔
Never happening❤️
Yeah idk might be a bug, might be for balancing since the enemies now get extra items if you take too long
I should build the man a statue
Ok @short iris I managed to find a way to freely go out of bounds without multiplayer
Issue is it only works on prime meridian
But Ill take it
DMS. NOW
You wanna know the method?
I hope they polish up the motion controls a bit eventually, they could use some work
I noticed that the bolstering lantern now its effect lingers after you kill enemies.
no one tell gearbox
I'll miss csgo rainbow road halcyonites
ye and i got the bundle for $30ish out of love for the game and i was surprised by it 
couldn't upload the whole thing because of the upload limit but just know i was stuck like this for the rest of the stage lol
Yep, they do that now, it's intended.
Oh shit this is back?
Also the upload limit for this server is 100mb
Scammed 😭
What items are good for chef?

Attack speed really helps for his primary, passive movement speed is also really good and then the classic things that you need to deal damage, proc items and/or damage increase items.
Thanks
I’m like an old school veteran and not really touched the dlcs as haven’t played in years. I have a new world to conquer
Yep, good luck.
I'm really confused as to why the ps4 version of this game runs better than the ps5 version
Does it?
Certain parts
Sulfur pools lags a bit on ps5
Too many antler orbs also causes it but not on playstation 4
I got to play the game last night with the 2 friends who introduced me to RoR2 for the first time in 5 years
And it took me back
Damn, 5 year is pretty long
oh it is? i assumed it would also be 10mbs because i showed this at my friends server first and assumed everywhere else was the same lol
personally i haven't experienced any lag on ps5 recently
might be due to optimization
Why would the ps5 version be less optimized?
tech is weird, you might think a beefier setup will make running games easier but can actually make it harder, that’s especially with older games
ror2 isn’t a old game tho necessarily, could just be poor optimization for next gen
there’s probably a whole world of potential reasons i’m not a expert so 😭
Is captain lowkey a bit weak against false son or am I ass? Seems hella hard to beat without great movement when gunning straight for him. But im not sure how to properly loop or flip my run into the storm. I feel like it'd be better to go the long route and gain a formidable item count to fight him but then i can basically get one shot cuz the lvl and difficulty scaling at that point. (Suffering for the alt skin mb)
could be both, although id imagine with captain speed is pretty much a requirement to even have a chance to dodge the false son's attacks since he got no mobility skill
From experience what character can get me my first monsoon win?
Arti is probably easiest, she's the one who got me my first monsoon win way back
Feel like I’m only getting consistent runs with huntress
Haven’t tried her. Been playing only like a week
The sheer anti-Mithrix potential of ion surge, ice wall, and ice spear trivializes the fight pretty easily, and ion surge is also a free itemless pillar skip so you don't even have to do most of commencement
Only limiting factor is just that ion surge and ice spear are unlocks, so you gotta get them yourself if you don't already have them
You only really need to get ion surge, realistically
Ice spear makes it even easier, but ice wall plus being able to hover out of the range of everything besides pizza aoes with ion surge is already a pretty big advantage
And luckily, ion surge is a fairly easy unlock to get
My first was mercenary but that's only because I had 30 irradiant pearls so just touching anything made them disintegrate
How did you end up getting 30 irradiant pearls on your FIRST monsoon clear? 💀
Egocentrism
Ah, that would check out
Lol
Sheesh
At least they fixed the drop rates for the pearls or it would've been 120 regular pearls
Yeah it probably wouldnt be a hot take to say cap is probably the worst fs survivor
Not undoable by any means and you cant still beat fs consistently with cap if youre good enough
caps always just had the downside of “youre old with no mobility move”
I've been intentionally taking Mobile Turrets on Engi into Eclipse 3 because I want to beat at least 1 Eclipse run with mobile turret engi and it has NOT been goin well
viend just be careful of what healing you pick up
How bad is switch audio right now? Is it like slight glitches or full breaks
I feel like I just played an Eclipse 3 command run
Still breaks regularly
Did gearbox do anything with the random switch crashes. I haven’t played so much of the update.
Havent tested it yet and also havent heard about it
Ig next time you me and toast play we should loop because I dont think any of us ever survived a full looped run without crashing
switch players suffering
played a bit last night, sky meadow specifically lagspiked like crazy i thought it was gonna crash and my build wasnt even that bad, it ended up crashing when trying to skip the end cutscene lol
"Remember brother, speed is war"
My false son with 20 SF pauldrons:
Phalse son really rocking the patience build
me getting the absolute peak of the peak items on a character that can barely utilize them
I love going from Aurelionite to False Son to Mithrix to Voidling. Makes me feel like such a badass.
Don't do it much tho since I've been playing a lot of Eclipse recently, but me and a friend did it last night while I was helping him unlock False Son & Void Fiend
Boss rush ahh
Absolute psycho mode
Gebura.
I just upgraded to a ps5, but the ps5 version of ror2 doesn't have the progress on the ps4 version
Can I transfer data at all or do I just unlock everything again
i have no idea cause everything transferred for me
Nvm I'm actually mentally ill ignore that
I have literally never used Light Flux
Probably for good reason
Anyone else, when you load the game, there's a weird audio bug where it just sounds like an earthquake the entire time?
Happens to me usually after I go to commencement, didn't know it can happen on opening the game
never experienced anything like that
Possible hot take: Rising Thunder > Whirlwind
that's a hot take indeed, but not the worst
I just feel like it's a better alternative in almost every situation
i disagree, whirlwind is simply more versatile
rising thunder better cause i like airborne merc lol
also you can do some tricks with whirlwind
1211
at slopes
use his utils and special if thats ure playstyle
also
I believe that mercenary is the only survivor where all his abilities are viable, non of them feels much stronger than the other alt ability.
constant hits on enemies can keep you airborne either way
true actually
so its better to have more hits than one hit
mando is so close to that status also
if you wanna keep yourself in the air
oh loader actually nvm
mando is just shit

Yeah but slide against roll is a big difference.
yea thats why hes close
Yep
roll has to be the worst ability for mobility i’ve seen in recent times
i frame roll please
I feel like the only thing Whirlwind does better is being able to move forward across the ground a few feet.
Woop de doo
oh
They need to add Crossplay to this game in my opinion
Have they finally crossplay between PC and Xbox?
that was never a plan they made
likely will never happen
So dumb tbh
it's for the best, the team is already swapmed as is, adding in crossplay would likely destroy the game and their sanity
I love sanity
Someone hop in quickplay
No shot cross play ever happens
Not with how unstable the games separate versions can be
Crazy how many people will gaslight others into thinking gearbox will never ever add crossplay even if they didn’t ask whether or if it was relevant to the question.
it's not gaslighting to use sense lol
Ok, let me ask you one question. When did Gearbox announce they are never ever gonna add multiplayer no matter what.
When they gave console numerous severe bugs
Like you just CANNOT expect crossplay from a game thats this broken across versions
So even if they fixed all bugs they wouldn't add it
Yes probably
Generally you just cant expect a game without crossplay to get crossplay
Its just a really hard and time consuming thing to implement
yes because the pc version relies on steam's networking back end, which consoles don't/won't support
multiplayer also isnt using their own servers either, its peer to peer
and they're not gonna do dedicated servers for this game
weirdly enough its the players saying this and not the devs or any other gearbox member.
I ask for a gearbox respond and its hoopoo several years back😭
i doubt gearbox is gonna move it all over to something else
which makes it kinda even more unlikely, doesn't it?
gbx owning the game doesn't mean the game isn't still using steam's networking back end haha
yeah, I know its hard but not impossible. Unless gearbox says it to me im not budging
okay 
I'm not going to believe in Christianity unless God himself walks down the stairway to Heaven and shows himself.
well...
Take a minute and just think how that comparison compare to what I said
It was a dumb comparison yeah.
But still. Use your noggin for half a minute and read the signs, yknow?
I mean, spelunky uses steams networking backend and we have crossplay spelunky
I’m just been getting irritated for people having to explain the whole crossplay situation just to crush someone question every time
I mean, I'm not ruling out that as a possibility but I'm definitely not holding my breath for it
Not allowed to have any hope for a future with crossplay huh
It ain’t happening man
Would you rather someone explain why or just say no nuh uh without explaining
Yeah, I much rather people just to give the short. “Gearbox currently doesn’t have any plans for cross play” because guess what that’s the actual respond they gave.
I mean. half of the times I've seen stuff about crossplay it's usually "crossplay should/needs to be added and it's ridiculous that it isn't" (very much a generalization)
(and my personal perspective which is malleable by bias)
Is that gbx official word?
Combination of realism and gb having no plans
So no
Ok, digging out some old message was worth it
Imo, Preston is the best mod (in my experiences with him at least )
And that's basically what I was saying. Not an impossibility but I wouldn't bet on it
The work to implement it would be so utterly time and resource consuming for not an incredible gain on their behalf
But not impossible
Same way a 1 in a billion chance isn't impossible
"it's admittedly unlikely" same vibe
Hello! Me and my son want to play split screen on the Series X but it doesn't bring up the 2nd player. We've tried everything, signing in/out at various screens with the 2nd controller and nothing works. YouTube offers no help either. Thanks!
Forgive me for asking but you are selecting split screen in the menu right
As oppose to trying to connect a second controller to single player lobby
Press any button with the second player controller when you are in the survivor select menu, if it doesn't appear the split screen, exit to the main menu and go back to split screen multiplayer mode and repeat, press button with the second player controller and if it doesn't work go out and in.
I'll try that. I assume it's just buggy?
Yeah
Risk of rain 2 seriously needs better sensitivity options
Im literally so done man I cant aim for shit even though I have my sensitivity at max
I was able to aim before but now I can't
I don't do aim assist since it slows the stick down
I'm so done
I actually can't because
Minecraft. Minecraft has higher sensitivity options
me thinks skill issue
Overhated Void item
It probably is but Istg I was able to aim before man 😭😭😭
Maybe instead of turning your sensitivity up to the max, turn it down. Like, make it slower, so it's easier to control.
Maybe
Ill try that but I do genuinely think RoR2 should get higher sensitivity
For consoles
I personally feel like the sensitivity is perfectly fine. I never liked playing on super high sensitivities. Makes it feel too snappy for me and hard to judge and control.
real
Recently got a ps5 and the dlc isn’t showing up for the ps5 version, do I need to rebuy them?
I can’t think why that would happen
You migrated your save data (if it wasn’t done automatically already) right
Assuming you were using the ps4 version
I've noticed that if you're using swarms and spawn the gilded halcyonites from the shrine, one will incorrectly have the full original health value, while the other has 50% of the max health like it should.
That's how you get the ps5 dlcs. Go to the them in the store and you should just have a download option. It won't cost money
Yeah I still have my unlocks and stuff
Gotcha I’ll do that. I just looked at the manage game data page and nothing showed up, idk why I didn’t check the store
Ok I turned on the projectile trajectory thing and it made the problem better
Now I feel like I can aim
Also it just feels better than aim assist moving the camera
Just set the scale to 10 I feel alot better
It isn't cheating if it's in the game I will state to myself
Its a pve game so theres no shame in using aim assist
I know
I always just feel like I'm cheating for some reason ;W;
Any switch players wanna hop on
How does ror2 work on switch?
What’s the word
