dragoon moment
I mean, my laptop could barely run the first Risk of Rain, but that's probably because I'm using an actual piece of stone-age tech. lmao
You can get a nice gaming computer for dirt cheap on some places
Dirt cheap couldn't be cheap enough for my lifestyle. lmao
I can only get my hands on like $70 total a year.
well I mean, cheap compared to other computers lmao
It's still pricey but, still...
If you saved up for like a year you could probably afford two
I might start saving up then.
PC has a better variety of games than PS4 as it is. lmao
@dense thunder how do I check my puter
go into settings
True
Also steam is cheaper ngl
It'd be cheaper in the long run
I still prefer ps4 because it’s easier for my brain plus I don’t have space for a pc
well, PC has more controls
Pc has too much for my brain I can’t handle it
Also I’m in settings
Then give me the three numbers on the back of your credit card.
Your mother's maiden name, your social security number, and favorite color.
I sent you an image in dms
JOON days is coming back, oooh God
JOON mean June+ soon, back when the anniversary update for console was release, in April-may first thing that gearbox say was: the update is coming soon. Then they say that the update will come out on June, all the console player was waiting all June for the update and everyone was starting to create JOON and the update was a Omegabugmess .
That is why I have trauma of JOON days coming back..
OH GOD
That is the story of JOON
JOON lore.
Yep
So probably dumb question but when’s the update coming to console?
Like PlayStation
Q2 (april, may, joon)
Ahh
jooly
Joon
skill issue tbh I should just be better at this game
but seriously why I was one stage away from getting wanderlust I hate this character so much
rip
Sad
the exact same thing happened on the exact same stage and I died to the exact same elite enemy on stage 9
I am accursed
Anyone know when the dlc is coming to console?
somewhere between June and May, roughly
Do you guys get that glitch where sometimes the game removes your ability to deal damage
And you have to quit
Know bug, happen at random, we don't how or what causes the bug.
Cool, hope it changes when we get the dlc
it's the fire trail, fire trails do insane damage currently, keep your distance from fire elites
they said the patch was coming around the same time as the dlc so hopefully sooner than that
It still kills me that they couldn't roll back the update so console is dated but at least playable
Console truly gets the short end of the stick
Guys, does your game lag for a second the moment you get killed? (ps4)
yeah
thanks, i hope that gets fixed
We aren’t even on the stick
Bruh i got wanderlust by casually plying
Please do
my teleporter bugged, is there any command to start it or to revive friends?
Console pain
Correct
no console news 
beat the game as engineer for the first time, picked up a mired urn halfway through and had to stop using turrets
that is a lot of stuff you unlocked
are titans supposed to still have the absolute perfect tracking aim shot thingy or
not really
They’re pretty easy to dodge
Just run sideways and most characters can dodge them with base speed
Like, the stone boss or the regular golems
Is the dlc out for Xbox?
Bruh
Yeah they’re remaking the game on consoles which hopefully mean less bugs
Wow, i love it when kipkip the gentle ends a 50 minute monsoon run as loader while im trying to get the skin and coins because it would heal more than the amount of damage i did to it every hit
I even had a 0 cooldown capacitor setup
and it just healed through everything i did
Yeah that’s kipkip late game lmao
There was literally nothing i could do but watch it go through my 2 dios
I assumed a 100% crit and 0 cooldown capacitor would be enough
Thought 2 dios were overkill as well
guess not
God i hate monsoon
Anyways, there goes my will to play this game today
I haven’t played it since the anniversary update
The bugs killed the fun after I got the new stuff
when is sotv going to be on switch?
Q2 so april, may, or joon
thx
Ok, so. Theoretically. Hypothetically.
if SOTV on consoles got delayed, how would you feel
lets say by a month or so
I'd be fine if it was in order to release an actually stable version
I’d be fine with it
I’ve already been waiting for a long time
I can wait another month when I’ll need to
well like i said i will sleep a month if i have to wait
1 mistake on huntress can literally end everything
Hey do we know when dlc might be on console
they're aiming for q2 of this year so april-june
Game crashed, I just wanna do the long road and the Incorruptible challenges man
Oof
When is the update supposed to come to console?
q2 2022
Ok but what q2
Quarter 2
So April-May-June
Somewhere in there
Someday we’ll get updates on time
Someday
never
JOON
28th of joon let’s go
Thats in 3 months and a half 😔
ngl we take what we can get
Does anyone know when survivers of the void will drop to consule
Played a little bit of it on PC and I got void fiend but I have a lot of people who are playing with on Xbox so
We don't have a specific time yet, we console players have to deal with this bs every update
I noticed lol figured I'd kind of check about so thx
Already been detained a couple of times while trying to get void fiend alternate outfit
Honestly I would get pretty pissed at a PC player but i just woke up so I'm not feeling it
Sorry I don't mean to be that kinda guy I enjoy all platforms as a whole
must be nice 
Tbh no avoiding being detained is a pain in the *** but it's doable
Spoilers sorry I'm gonna shut up now my apologies
bro
Would the update work the same if the game was crossplay? Like if a pc player owned the update and played with a console player? Ik it's not cross, but like what if
Cross will basically never happen
It could happen between consoles tho
Maybe
Just lower your standards so much you physically cannot be disappointed
no i just know that it most likely wont happen
Rip
My monsoon commando run died on stage 14 I didn’t know stone titans had perfect aim when you’re far away from them
I'm gonna like, stop playing this game for now
until shit like this gets patched out, I'm pretty done
Is the new expansion on ps?
no because we are hopoo's last priority
Well I wouldn't say that
They're currently rebuilding the entire game on console, so it's easier to remove bugs or any that appear in the future
...after how long since console releases?
a billion years
its fine tho, 2-3 more months and no more suffering
thats assuming the rebuild doesnt completely fuck up like the current build
Gearbox and PEW kinda fucked up everything
PEW not really
They just couldnt patch any bugs after the 1.0 release because of the wacky contract
Anyone else have a problem with lunar coins not saving? I'll spend 2 hours grinding out mythrix for coins but when I open the game again they're all gone, so I'm stuck with 0 coins
Yeah that happens
Try switching up your survirors kit around
Since the game auto saves when you do it, so it should save your coins
I'll try that, thanks
How exactly are even supposed to do ethereal?
Fire elites,
Titans,
the knock back in your own moves...
Wait one prismatic trial with glass artifact
There worked, thank you, I've been haunted with no coins for months
Least eventful place on the server
We lost our souls 8 months ago ....
So can Void items appear during the Artifact of Sacrifice?
Don't know, and this is console lands we don't have the dlc
No problem
rubbing salt in the wound I see 

😭
Just remembered Perfected elites are a thing cause they don't spawn on console
If they are perfected elites, why they don't spawn perfectly?
Beetle blocked the bullet at the worst possible moment
Skill issue.

That is why I always jump so that doesn't happen to me
BTW, alguien en español ya no me siento solo 

I think the big glowing guy with a halo for head is called grandparent in english right? In spanish it is called the ancestor
me trying to communicate to the new player that they must stand on the pressure plate in aqueduct
can’t wait for JOON when it’s announced that the update is coming to switch in october
and yeah that dude is called grandparent in english
Y'know I just realized a lot of the new stages are bigger and have more vertically ever since sundered grove


Die to mithrix
look at the other player's stats
the numbers on their items are slowly floating away to the upper right side
they went out of sight
mithrix somehow dies himself while we are dead
THE MOON FUCKING BLOWS UP AND THE SCREEN TURNS WHITE
Pure skill
Lmao that's pretty wacky
How do i get the dlc on xbox? It won't come up when I search for it
console release wont be for another several months. Any Ror dlc always drops on console MUCH later than the pc release.
Cheers mate
I'm losing my mind
I've been spoiled on like 6 things just by looking at general or YouTube
anyone know if there is a way to use mnk on xbox one?
That's rough buddy
where do i give my suggestions for any pc / console game update?
Does anybody want to play on xbox?
ty
Based
shaped glass is ridiculous, I can't believe I got that high
Switch had some weird bug that occurred randomly after I beat the game a second time. The skybox, as you can see, was messed up both in game and in cutscenes. It persisted for around for 2-3 weeks until disappeared as suddenly as it had shown up. Did this happen to anyone else?
You broke the matrix, congrats
Oddly enough, little patches like this would disappear and reappear, always all black with the same little symbol.
I don't remember hearing about it lasting for that long
Was the console release confirmed to be June or are we just assuming it's going to be the latest?
I don’t think June because this time they had it set to come out alongside the pc version unlike before. If it was delayed right before the release of pc then it can’t be too far behind
The coping is immense
Is it just me or does it looks like there's a face in this image
Is the game worth to buy on console? Cause my friend keeps telling me not to
But I heard that the bugs are getting fixed but I idk if it was true or not
I guess so? A lot of the bugs on console are pretty bad but you can kinda play past some of em
doesn't matter anyways, the entire thing is basically getting rewritten
Imma just get the game then since they’re getting fixed later anyway
for some reason i cant find any scavengers in my runs anymore on ps4 im on stage 52 monsoon i haven't run into one yet
When is the dlc coming out for xbox
Q2, may or June
@ruby timber would it be possible to pin a message stating when the dlc is slated to come out on console?
That would be pretty heckin cool suncles
Is there any new information on when DLC will be coming to console?
No clue
Don’t think suncles knows yet, but I guess you could ask for when he learns
No harm in asking, might be a little annoying but I'm eagerly awaiting to give them my money
Hi! you were probably directed to the pins for the answer to the question "console release when??"
Currently slated for a early Q4 release this year - so approximately October/November
I'll let you know when we have a more concrete release date for you!
You are amazing thank you
Thx so much
todays prismatic is WILD
i beat ethereal
its a command run with two lunar buds at spawn, i just grabbed two shaped glass and a few brooches, a ukulele, and tougher times
genuinely if you want ethereal do todays trial asap
i got question pls
when dlc out for consoles??
oh i scrolled up
so excited for release bruh
Also does anyone know how much it is
It'll be like 10 dollars on release, 15 dollars later
Wouldny it be the other way around?
why would it cost more if I bought it later
also apparently overloading can still hit you when you're fucking invisible
Why does this challenge exist
where'd you see the lunar buds? I didn't see any or I'm blind as hell
pretty sure its only the console one
Damn
but for me i spawned on burning plains or whatever its called and the two lunar buds are at the bottom of the hill
I am kind of curious how much was actualy done Q3 last year when it was first exspected?
Because enemies lose agro when you go invisible, you don’t turn invincible
Mercenary
You said invisible not invulnerable
Thanks man, damn, I just got ethereal after a year of having the game lmao
no problem dude today is just an EXTREMELY good seed
I wouldn't have even thought of doing it if someone didn't say something
Overloading is super ultra stinky
But u said it will be 10 dollars at first and 15 later....
I'm gonna waste all lunar coins on this but its so good, 7 lens and a guillotine before the boss and 3 lunar bulbs on the map
Getting cheap shotted by vultures but the boss get melted
Finally unlocked vergil last skill
Bravo
Are those supposed to be there?
Yup
Yes
i'm so happy to see that i informed at least 2 people today of the seed and helped them unlock the hardest thing in the game :")
its so fun to use too
Is it any good?
Well I went and died on the void so I couldnt tried it too much but the skill is fun along side the uppercut slash, I'm not skilled enough but I think you can get some good combos going and get a lot of resets going with it
it exposes on the last hit and you can swing while casting it
so you can get rediculous expose chains going for constant ability spam
id say whirlwind and expose dash go well with it
but it pretty much makes mercenary a ground unit
Fire elites c:
fire elites, meet ranged special
I love not playing melee because of one feature that completely remove my ability to get near them
hey man just like
use his alt special
acrid is mostly range gameplay with spit and pandemic, loader is tanky and strong enough to just slaughter an elite, and mercenary has enough maneuverability to just slash straight through an elite with the dashes and such
and mercs alt special makes taking care of elites much less dangerous
ngl i play mercenary a lot like commando
I main meleecrid
meleecrid is very strange but i love him
I think I'll stick to default blink and use the uppercut slash and the regular multislash cuz of the i frames, reminds me of dmc gameplay the most
bite is wacky
literally just based
i use mine for effectiveness, you use yours because its like dmc gameplay
you are a different breed
love merc though, i forgot how much i loved to play him
You can also yeet small mobs with the uppercut and its always fun to see
yea true
i stopped using uppercut because stacking backup mags with it is just not very fun
i like the beyblade speen
I dont wanna use it anymore cuz fire elites and I find it to be a more useful extra jump than the speen
agreed
I like the extra mobility from the speen and yoinking yourself into the air by using it on slopes is a little fun
Make that 3 people 😉
I don’t use Merc’s upper cut slash move because he already has enough mobility
Unless you’re using slicing winds
Merc’s upper cut slash with slicing winds is so fun to use
I think i actually prefer slashing winds over the other attack because its so useful and fun to use
I allways used the Upper cut untill Purity was added
his uppercut is extremely good for getting a good oneshot build
but for activating exposed procs, whirlwind takes the cake
no problem
What use does uppercut have really I don’t really see it’s potential
oneshotting and also a high jump
looks cool
I guess but the other ability gives you mobility and damage
Upper cut is slow
upper cut flings you higher
and can also sent contraptions out of the fight for a little bit
Does anyone play bandit
My nd2 time finishing the game with engi
Now do it on e8
With no items or drones
I miss the frog
I went to go see him only to remember that he isn’t there

Why the frog gearbox
Why
yo i have a question
is it just me or is it that when fightjng mithrix does he randomly turn into a black square sometimes? idk if my xbox is on the fritz or something but when fighting mithrix he randomly blinks into a black square and its only for like a split second
My ps had to be factory reset and it's really weird not having almost all the items
Think it’s just u
I have a similar bug
Idk if its a bug or not but sometimes when im fighting any monster they randomly go invisible
Thats like....
Compared to the statement they gave a few months ago
"Console and pc will be on par with updates
Better than nothing
They said that that couldn’t happen in a later dev thoughts after that statement
i mean they are trying their best
have to give them credit there
I can't wait to have void fiend on ps
Yes you can, and you will
Because we all have to
Because we didn't spend our rent on an 8 bit laptop
I assumed it'd be at least a month n a half for it to release to Xbox, most game dlc's do after releasing onto PC
Is it only command?
Does anyone else use the rebartool (retool rebar spam thing)?
yes
YO
Well I can’t cause it’s almost 1:00am for me
ive gotten 4 people in this server (me included) and 2 of my friends to get it from this seed
Ok
Hsiwhe
I hope it’s still there that’s the one merc ability I need
i do too, good luck 
if you spawn near the top of the hill on burning acres thats the one
Ight thx
@shell orchid keep in mind they are also rebuilding THE WHOLE GAME for console; which should fix ALL the problems console is having. Will there be new bugs? Yes most likely, however, because the rebuild is gonna match pc, it will be taken care of easier and sooner
the pc build rn is basically just the anniversary update on console
that is a major over exaggeration lol
ik
I’m only okay with this because this would apparently make dlcs way easier to port
@abstract jackal true… but they are only doing one more dlc after sotv…. I think they are moving on to a new project after that.
Where have you acquired this information?
One of the mods on this server when I asked if they were doing any more dlcs @long ivy
That’s just what I’ve heard tho; hasn’t been confirmed.
Interesting, ty ty
Ask and you shall receive lol
I'll take it with a grain of salt
Good plan 👍
I hope they do a dlc based on Nkuhana….. that would be cool; especially with all the logbook entries and mystery surrounding her
I honestly do too, I'd love to see a n'kuhana boss or something. Plus it would give them every more right to use more greater wisps due to the green
Truth! And maybe a secret of some sort when you have her red item
I play on Switch and I want to go to PC to play with my friends and use mods, but they always play on Monsoon any tips on getting better? And can you ping me, I'm going to get lunch.
just playing with that mode will help u. becaus u need to learn how to dodge attacks while still shooting
thats a big thing u need to learn
What? Excuse me how
going throughout void fields with kin. there isn't any enemies lmao
free items ig
@abstract jackal one of mods told me on the server. I’m taking it with a grain of salt but honestly, it makes sense to me. Not yet confirmed by devs tho
It doesn’t make sense to me at all though
Why not? @abstract jackal the devs be making bank with this dlc, they will most likely do 1 or 2 other things before doing a new project. But like I said, it’s not confirmed and I’m taking it with a grain of salt. Ask a mod in game questions to see if they told you what they told me
They will make more money with risk of rain
?
The original one?
Hate to say it, but they will not make more money by doing dlc for that game, as good as it was
@abstract jackal
No risk of rain 2
Well, yeah but the more peeps who own ror2, the more will prob buy dlc. Lol I think you are missing the point. @abstract jackal
No what I’m saying is this there’s no reason to move on from risk of rain 2
They are gonna spend as long as possible on current project as long as they are able to net revenue for it through the game itself AND other dlcs
Oh, you are agreeing with me then. 😂
Oof welp, moving on 😂😂😂
OOOOH
Well it might not always be about the money, they can move on whenever they feel like it. I will still buy their future projects
@white quarry truth i agree
They do some good work. You ever play the original risk of rain?
Ro1 is pretty fun as well but I myself prefer ro2
Console life 😓. Game crashed when I was on stage 78
Bruh fr thats lucky af
Hello fellow Xbox brothers
Hello everyone
E8?
eclipse 8
So, my mans just been standing for 5 min now lol
Did I miss something or am I the only one who doesn’t have logs for lemurians or elder lemurians anymore? I used to have everything unlocked before the big update and I was going to sculpt an elder lemurian but now they’re gone along with the Solus control unit
It’s bugged
So, still no confirmed day for console update?
I don’t believe so 😔
No, we just know that it’s Q2 of this year
Check pins
I thought I was Q1 did they change it, sad 😔
I can’t even watch any ror2 videos that includes the new update because it gets me too excited
Then I remember it won’t come in like 3 months
Heard the face of the deep because people where complaining that the saxophone won’t appear in game and made me want to get the game on pc
Is the saxophone copyright🧐
Are lunar chimeras broken??? Why do they instantly one shot me
@hot sigil earliest we could get it is April, and I don’t think we are gonna wait the full 3 months this time
Optimism 101 👌
I wanna be optimistic but I genuinely don’t really trust the risk of rain devs when it comes to release dates
I feel ya. I will say, the devs said they were on schedule when they released the most recent notes. @abstract jackal
anything can happen
The last big release date happened on the absolute last day of the month planned
Most interesting engineer run
Very
Very
Does anyone know what the best movement item for loader/huntress items are
Nope they’re just very strong
Mithrix forgot to turn off auto lock when putting it down
Sooo....dlc release date for consoles.
....when? :o
When fromsoft makes a new armored core
cri
Anyone have any tips for getting lunar coins
im a PC player but I assume farming is the same?
Drizzle + (command) + sacrifice + (swarms) +
+obliterate
Thanks
The lunar drop rate is super fucked on console, it seems like every 75th or so enemy will drop a coin
Yeah it’s horrible
I forget what are the actual useful lunar items besides the glass so I never buy them for fear of nuking the run 
Basically none of them if I'm being 100% honest
Strides is pretty good if your char has shit mobility
Tonic and gesture are always broken and transcendence and hellfire are extremely good if you don’t get hit often
Same thing with brittle crown
^
Hellfire and brittle crown is an s tier combo
So true
Oh also corpsebloom is really good if you’re going for short runs and dont have enough healing
Most of them have annoying or gimmicky mechanics so I usually dont bother
Gesture of the drowned is with the rockets is s tier combo
Any tips for a new Loader main?
when you infinite proc atgs with rockets because the game is held together with duct tape, it is indeed s tier
Punch things
Oh. Melee..
Also, pretend to be spider man
And being unable to use alt special is a big blow
Just mute the game ig
Which character stays fun no matter what?
Yes
None really, but lodr is more repetitive than most
I see
Merc, hes definitely not a pain in the ass to play because of the low sensitivity
I cant stand the sensitivity on console
Same
Let me give myself seizures by daring to hold a direction fully
For context i typically max sensitivity in any shooter. Ror2 at max is slow as hell
I haven't played much
Only unlocked the characters then stopped
I 100% the game at every update and I still play regularly
I'm looking for my new favorite game
As you can tell I play the game a little
Something I can play everyday and not get bored
A little lol
For me im bouncing between ror2 and heroes of hammerwatch
I mainly play hw2, ror2, and halo infinite
Hw2? Hyrule warriors?
Halo wars 2
Is ror2 worth the time investment?
Great rts
Without being biased
Depends on what you want from the game
Without bias, yes. Lots of stuff to do and tons of builds you would never think of
RoR2 doesnt have as much metaprogression as other rouge-like/lites
I see
But theres a lot of room for experimenting
It goes on replay ability
Time played
1d 5h 21m
Also you don’t want to stop playing when you die (at least I don’t unlike Isaac)
The appeal for me is finding ways to improve as a player
I wanna find a game and get very good at it
I plan to switch over to pc before next year
Merc smashing took me 3 days of gameplay to master
Whether thats completing eclipse at higher levels, completing runs faster/with less items (the two kind of overlap), or with gimmicky or sub par builds
Then you can mod and lots of things open up to you
Or maybe I just need to find people to play with
I prefer ror2 solo personally
Same
I'm not a social person and I'm trying to change that
Pfff, fuck people
Right?

But seriously, i dont have a problem with multiplayer, i just feel most roguelike/lites work better solo
If RoR2s classes felt more like they fell into tank, dps and support roles then i would play multi more often
I also lowkey needs friends
Pay me $5 a month and I will be your friend
Damn.
Not that desperate for friends
Nah lol
What do you play other than RoR2?
Control
PubG
Apex
What i can remember off the top of my head
Well... I cant stand battle royales and im pretty sure contol is only 1 player
It is, yes
But if you wanna play ror2 i can screw around
Okay
I still have alot to collect in ror2 anyway
My GT is the same as my discord tag
ThatisNifty#4298
Is mine
I'm not home now, but if you are around in 3ish hours and wanna play just let me know
Okay
Might be tomorrow
Any tips for getting better at consistent runs?
Get as many items from the stage as possible, always get your legendary from stage 4, scrap anything you may not need so you can put it into a printer you will need or cauldron
That's some basic tips
So don’t worry as much about the difficulty increasing based on time? And just try and full farm each stage?
You should still worry about the difficulty but getting the most out of each stage is crucial. You can always start the teleporter event early and then loot what's left of the stage or loot everything and then start the teleporter
Also Alloy Worship Unit us easier to fight after the teleporter as other enemies will stop spawning
What are some of the more consistent survivors in your opinion?
Or not at all
Cus I'm not enjoying myself anymore.
I can't do consistent runs anymore.
Are you looking at what your doing and habits you may have picked up?
Who do you use/difficulty
I'm trying to find my main
And usually Monsoon
Drop back down to normal refind your game flow etc. Do 5 or so runs with each character in a row. 5 runs as huntress etc then try another. I’m still new but I have lots of rougelike experience and typically the hardest part is getting back that flow with a characters style
Also check out changes idk how long it’s been since you played but odds are something has changed
It's been a year
Definitely had to have been some changes
I wouldn’t say go to drizzle. I used drizzle to grab some unlocks and I’ve been doing normal mode since. But check to see item changes double check recent mul t guides there may have been changes that you are not use to and your memory of how something should go might not be. I can’t speak more on Mul T as I don’t enjoy him as a character in general.
I didn't play much when I bought this
Like a few days maybe. Beat the game then done
iirc
At that point just try out some other characters and work on it. The hardest part I’ve seen and noticed in my own runs is just getting to a critical mass of items to where you are either invincible or you are bursting things down way too fast to care. If your dying to fast look at some defensive stuff early (life steal, armor, shield) are you not killing stuff and it’s becoming a matter of too much time in a stage that leads to you falling off faster then look at damage items and try and find value areas like a bunch of chests next to each other or 2 or more chests near the teleporter.
Same but except the part pf beating the game because i got wayyyy to mad about dying too much and because it wasn’t added to the game yet
But now I’m back and I’m much better at the game
The stage 4 legendary isn’t consistent
The only one that’s consistent is the egg legendary in that one stage
Loader will literally destroy the entire game but all the survivors are consistent
Except arti
Isn't the chest on Abyssal Depths always there tho?
Arti was badly designed so eh
NOT REALLY
Or maybe it changes spots a lot I have no idea
(It’s always there)
afaik the chest in Abyssal is always in the same spot whereas the one in the mushroom and root level changes position
Really? Sometimes they don’t appear for me
mmm
Guess I'll just run through stage 4 xD
It’s the same general place in abyssal
Center area look for some pink mushrooms maybe red
Also I got my first Twisted Scavenger kill today
Soon I may be able to try Rainstorm
Ironically I can’t seem to get a loader run to work for me but I can get mercenary almost every time when it’s kinda widely known loader is better as a melee survivor
I always die as loader xD
Mercenary is good but sometimes he’s just too much effort to play
Never managed to beat Mithrix as her, I basically only use her for speedrunning obliterations for coins
I’m ok with the work I’m using a melee character I would assume more effort vs a ranged character
I recommend you start unlocking most of the alternate abilities I guess
Power mode for mult is BUSTED
I just find it funny bc I KNOW loader is better then merc all the numbers and everything points to it. But in my hands it just fumbles
What items do you grab on him? Shard of course
I haven't unlocked any of the alt abilities
The conditions sound
insane to achieve
Currently there’s like no bad items for merc but if you have to make a choice aim for attack speed and stuff for your special
That’s why artifacts exist
I only have command as far as beneficial ones go
Still, most of them are i n s a n e
Most of them are beneficial
For achievements atleast
I know the devs had no idea what they were doing
I also have kin, only used it once and never again
Getting destroyed on stage one ain't fun xD
I meant loader my bad
The only "big" thing I have left to do is kill Aurelionite
Got to gilded coast once, immediately deleted by fire elite elder lemurians
You literally can’t go wrong with loader but I guess attack speed isn’t as beneficial
I heavily recommend getting ALL her alternates they are OVERPOWERED
Loader gets more damage out of movement speed iirc
Fire on console is broken sadly
It’s kind of minimal or I haven’t really noticed it
I remember reading that her speed at the time of "casting" affects the damage of her super punch
I definitely noticed it, as after a couple goat hooves I started twoshotting teleporter bosses
also
why would anyone ever turn off Command? I personally always had it on ever since I unlocked it xD
@neat quarry I beat the game as Huntress
That was a great boss fight
That felt good
As huntress
Don't judge I'm on Drizzle
I am judging
I have only played on Drizzle and I can barely clear a run so no judging from me xD
I haven't played in a year and when I did play it was only for a few days then I stopped
You have been judged
Okay
As a e8 veteran, I judge
I'm just happy I beat Mithrix.
Moon man pizza move annoying
After testing I have determined Acrid is
hard to use
Oh my
Yes
Also
I tried eclipse 1
did not end well xD
The leap maybe
It’s best on huntress and lodr
Ouch
He takes like
a full second to kill a beetle lmao
Who? Mul-T?
I did use Loader for my attempt, got to Stage 3 and got vibechecked by Imp Overlord
Ha
Lol
Gotta love Imp
If i had found any goat hooves I might've beaten him but I had none
Got to stage 5 with Cap and get yeeted by giant lizard
Imp overlord are easy because the projectiles that land on the ground don’t have a hit box
Huntress and Cap are my mains for sure
Based
My issue is the insane damage the bleed does
Cap because orbital strike thing
Just for collapse in sotv
My mains are Bandit for regular runs and Rex for command runs
Command runs?
Artifact of Command
lets you pick your items basically
Ah
Artefact of command
I think I got one of those
Turns all enemies into elites I think
Lets you do this
Command is the only way I manage to play as anyone but Bandit xD
Woah
I might bump my difficulty to Rainstorm or Monsoon
tries Acrid
alive for 1:20
killed by lesser wisp
maybe I should've left the poison dog in the void lmao
No one does
Acrid can be fun tho
Arti is the curd of spoiled milk
Only survivors I have cleared runs with are Bandit, Engineer and Loader
Acrid consistently dies in stage one ;w;
I've only cleared with Huntress lol
Don't remember a year ago
So how much do you know the stages and ways to exploit them?
You will learn
Killed Mithrix with Bandit, simply obliterated with Loader and fought the Twisted Scavenger with Engineer
Rainstorm or Monsoon next for me?
Huntress was a lot of fun fr fr
Like this for example, rainstorms
I never got past stage 1 with huntress oof
Huntress is who I main usually
Any tips for a new Huntress main?
I haven't unlocked any of them for any character, and likely never will unless someone carries me lol
I'm struggling with all expect 12 crowbars
Honestly same
the requirements for a lot of them are like
what
Land killing blow with all glaive hits and don't fall below 100% at Rallypoint or scorched lol
Oof
The only thing harder than those are probably some item unlocks
I still need to kill 20 hermit crabs
Wherever those are
Honestly probably gonna ask for help tomorrow to get all her alts
I don't think I've even seen a hermit crab yet
Balanced game guys
Its those things that looks like volcanoes and launch balls
Not all of them
Oh
Those annoying fuckers
I have unlocked every alt mercs abilities and it’s worth it
Yep
You have to make them suicide off the map
If your trying to get the gesture of the drowned
Its a good item
damn, congrats.
I can't even reach the teleporter on stage 1 as merc xD
lol
You have to get use to moving fast and keep an eye on his health
It’s usually more hard at the beginning for me with merc
Specifically stage 1
Use loader for this (with the alt secondary)
Commandos harder since he’s more squishy
Wdym
With loader you can just fly to a hermit crab or pull them off a cliff
wait
how do you make the crabs fall off
afaik they only spawn in Abyssal Depths
Ok xD
Plus she’s immune to fall damage and she’s tanky
I wish i knew this before
Go to stage 6 cuz they usually spawn when you loop
It would be so much easier
No joke I went to do this first try with the alternate secondary I did it in 3 minutes
Probably cuz I got lucky with the spawns
ah
I often die before stage 5 so that's why I haven't seen them outside of Abyssal
it took me like 10-15 minutes I think
If you wait long enough they will spawn
It just takes a while
tbh I think the only alt I will unlock will be Loader's grapple because it's a straight upgrade
I'm probably gonna focus Huntress and Mul-T for now
Yeah engi isn’t too hard at all. As long as you have back up equipment unlocked it’s just a matter of getting it and two batteries. Easy with command. Honestly hardest thing will be killing the bosses in 5 seconds bc it has to be after they’ve spawned. You get a strong run going and you almost nuke them before they fully phase in
Trueee
Engineer is by far my most consistent survivor
Engi is actually so fun when you learn how to dodge and attack
Wdym
If you get a proc chain build going with attack speed you will nuke for a long time
Proc chain? I never heard that
That’s why I say with it you haven’t snowballed. I haven’t unlocked it the last equipment yet (spider drones) bc of that. I kill them as they spawn and they have to spawn fully to actually count
I tried Huntress again because why not
ended up killing Mithrix
Atg, ukulele, bleed, burn, slow, death mark etc
2/3 Engis alternates are a straight upgrade while the other one just loses out on bungus (but is better)
Don’t you have to buy drones and turrets to unlock the moving turrets?
That reminds me
My engi run had Bungus and the skull one
Just use back up equipment with the batter uncommon
No I’m talking about the viability also the drone call equipment works just fine for that
I had a engi run that had line 70 or something bungus
Btw
Drone call + fuel cells = easy achievement
The moving turrets suck in Long runs
You want the healing and over healing shield otherwise the get nuked
Moving turrets deal more damage and slow and get effected by move speed stuff
And they also don’t have bungus
I’m SICK OF AUTOCORRECT
They die way too fast
bungus is love, bungus is life
Turn it off
That hasn’t been my experience
True
They solo’d mythrix it was funny
What loop?
No loop
That’s why
Mithrix could do nothing against my 10 tougher times and 3 transcendence
Once you get into 2/3rd loops they get nuked way too easily without bungus
I hate looping anyways
I have never gone past the first loop, didn't know it was possible
Btw I’m not saying they are bad
What difficulty do you play on?
They are good imo just not worth what you lose
when I tried going past stage 8 I died and the message said I was killed by myself somehow
So is it even worth using the moving turrets?
I play exclusively on Drizzle for the time being
Do you play with any artifacts?
Imo no. The advantage you get is not worth the reliability of bungus later rounds with over healing for shield and defensive items those stationary turrets are outright tanks
Command
Aight
Oh trust me I tried
Without I rarely get past stage 1
Plus you can outright cheese some bosses based on terrains by placing them out of reach and they will just rain hell on them
Its more fun and more challenging
Have you gotten use to what items do etc?
Wait what
Keep trying
Its worth it
I have a vague idea of what some items do and I know proc chains are important
What are proc chains
Some bosses can’t hit certain elevations so you can place your turrets too high in a area they can’t reach and your turrets just can’t be touched
Teach me
Which bosses
I can just grab the video that taught me that lol
Yeah
But I disagree with him in shield vs mortar
It's when you hit one enemy in a group and the whole group gets hurt
Ukelele shenanigans for the most part
A character guide for the Engineer in Risk of Rain 2 aimed at making you better at the best solo survivor in Risk of Rain 2, the Engineer.
This guide will go over everything you need to know about the Engineer. Gameplay tips, mechanics, boss fights, item synergies, everything.
I hope you learn something and enjoy.
@hot sigil deaths mark plays a huge part into that btw
Thanks
I’ve never used engineer’s shield
Why its so good
Bonus damage on each hit bc you spread ailments
Enemies can walk into it and just bone you. Early game engineer is so bad also that you want the burst damage to get you going with items and you it turrets can get online
I like shields
It’s preference but I will say I noticed with mortar my early game was way better
I've never gotten death mark
since I basically never have enough stuff for it to proc
Console moment
I usually just use shields for my turrets
To protect them more
Eventually they just become invincible with bungus
So why have it and it be dead
If you place your turrets well and manage your cooldowns it’ll do better then a shield
True
Btw the mortar also makes it so you don’t have to waste a turret placement to handle the wisps early on
Since his primary is not the best way to kill them lol
Ye
Honestly your whole game plan should be try and survive your early game and anything that helps that should be used. Once you hit a certain point engineer will just pop off
When is it for you usually?
Depends on command or not. If im doing a regular run it’s when I get my my attack speed and proc chain set up. Until then it’s survival and taking stuff to help me survive while building that up.
And btw
On command I go double syringe, bungus, crit glasses till like 4
Green I get atg into ukulele and go from there.
Am I supposed to look time myself on how long I should be in a stage?
Fun fact: it takes 5 debuffs instead of 4 to proc it
I never do it
I just focus on looting
Same really
That’s dependent honestly. If I don’t see many chest clusters I try and rush honestly and get bare minimal. If I see chest clusters and such I’ll take the time to grab them just for the power buff
Hmm
I'm lucky if I get one debuff item per run xD
I have around 2000 hours and I can say that full looting a stage is more fun and more consistent
In my experience
I like looting stages
makes everything harder tho
How about first 2 stages? IMO the chest ratio just isn’t worth it but you have more hours then me
I prefer looting the stage and taking more time then not getting the items i need
Not rlly, you just need to know the stage
How do you do it?
How do you check your hours?
On an unrelated note
I don't think I've ever seen the normal version of the Alloy Worship Unit
Is that not really as in it’s still worth it. Or not really as in it’s not worth full farming those if you don’t see a bunch of chests clustered in a area
Go to your achievements, select ror2, go down to statistics
To give reference though I spend on average like 5 minutes a stage quicker or maybe a small bit over on the early stages
I will usually look for barrels before I get items, that way I have money and know where the items are
uh
weird
so according to the wiki a bunch of stuff can spawn in Stage 5 as the boss, but it seems I've literally only seen Grandparents
Ok
Not Xi construct tho obviously
I got 133 hours in the game
Pog
Rather him then the parents lmao those guys jump you
Low compared to yours
I prefer parents to elder lems because pain
Pain and suffering
I gotta check my hours
probably under 50
You are braver then I those guys jump you and it’s all chaos
I play huntress so triple blink takes care of that
Cries in engineer*
Mercenary *coughs
Triple blink huntress*
I take it back
Triple blink huntress on one hand is super engaging and an amazing skill and on the other it makes the experience ultra sweaty
I gotta sit down and unlock triple blink
Do I want to.
No
Will I.
Yes for that style of play
Constantly teleport out of the way of bullets
Y’all should try playing merc with his up slash and his second special
Same
See I have mercs stuff unlocked. But oddly enough I prefer default merc
I use default secondary for trimping to set up a smash
The iframes are too tasty
Alt special vs default is a million year old argument but I personally like both for different reasons
Agreed
Agreed
Getting pc just to get the anime arti skin
lol
A survivor that I really wanna get good with that is so risky is Rex
I dislike Rex just because it’s primary has mad travel time
Idk but i just hate rec
He’s a character that you are almost forced into early syringes
Hence why arti is a flaming diaper dumpster
Rex
I like his kit just bc when he’s going
Rex is probably the only survivor i play least with arti
HES GONE AND NO ONE WILL KILL HIM
But.. getting him there hurts my soul
I have asked hopoo again and again to add 15% damage reduction while sprinting by default for Rex and they won’t listen
Ask seventeenUncles or something
At least shrink the hit box
I’d be ok if his root procced hits on the root and not just the projectile
He’s already so weird to stabilize imo
The thing i like about rex is his running animation
Well at least it’s better than harvest
That shit is trash
Heheha
Like if his roots he spread after the projectile hit at least had a chance to proc chain off of I would be ok
Grrr
I played arti earlier today got Corpsebloom
and purity
What do you all think about commando
“Meh”
Like his whole thing is he wants that proc chain combo so bad but but you need to stabilize him with items early just so you don’t die
A good first unit but not really someone I’d enjoy to play
I like playing him at least once a day
He is so basic
He’s way too vanilla
I like him
Which is a good thing ig
Artificer needs a rework or buff
But most people play huntress first since she is “not the default character”
I play commando religiously
I want to ping ottermando
Who is he
Get a pc just to play with goku in mods
Pain
Ottermando is truely built different
Rex on Command runs is
a beast
Teddy bears can negate the self damage
Just stack razor wire instead
With rap

I’m too lazy to go get a job and save up for 3 years to then buy a pc and monitors, keyboard and a mouse to then find out that its not worth it
A new more expensive one would have come out
Exactly
And now yours is outdated
Pov: you spend all your life savings on a new pc to just find put there was a better one
Pc players be like
Well I need to go unlock artifact of kin. So I can easily unlock all of artificers stuff and actually use a good set up and not her bad default
