For me, it’s Commando. The best survivor in the game.
>>727499120hey, you'll give me your bustling fungus right?t. Early game engineer
>>727499289how is engineer fun?
>>727499120Risky died when it got "remade" worse.
>>727499342I love setting up a base that absolutely shreds bosses, providing a safety net for my entire team no matter how greedy I get.
Commando hate is reddit. Mercenary is the genuine worst one in the game. No fucking damage.
>>727499642let me guess, you use slicing winds and stay at max range like a pussy faggot?
>>727499526besides bustling fungus, what are some other big ticket items i want to get a lot of on engi? haven't played much past the first year ror2 was out and since a lot of new items were added, not quite sure what i should be recycling and what i should be 3d printing to make my turrets not shit.
>>727499642Bro your focus crystals?
Eclipselite is the bungus for Falseson
>>727499827there's the items everyone wants of course, like soldier syringe and crit glasses. Whites are super contested, especially early. I find that no one brings team values for bustling fungus nearly as much as engineer does. Besides a few green items like the bands that proc on spider mines, you want to buff your turrets with as much as you can to stay relevant. Power scaling happens fast, so stay greedy.
>>727499642Mercenary is invincible so the lack of damage is offset by having an infinite amount of time to kill something.
New player and Bandit enjoyer here, what skills are worth unlocking for my space cowboy?
>>727499728I never unlocked those cause I don't like Mercenary enough to get em lol.
For me it's braindead Acrid
>>727500178Blast is really good and I'd consider it better than Burst. Bandit is just another crowbar whore in the end.
>>727499120there's no character more fun than loader. swinging around the map into a 1 shot punch is too satisfying
>>727499642no, that would be artificer
for me it's nemforcermy monster-hunting blood boils for meaty golf swings
>>727499367the remake is pretty good actually
>>727501156No, it's abhorrent dogshit for one and one reason only: No TCP/IP, therefore no more Risky with piratebros.
>>727499120In multiplayer there is just too much randomness for it to be playable. I dont want to use artifact of command either because then its just too easy. There is no middle ground
>>727501225>There is no middle groundhttps://thunderstore.io/package/Moffein/BetterCommandArtifact/
>>727500178I use the shotgun since it scales better with on hit effects and getting the revolver alt skill that stacks damage for each kill you get on stage. the cooldown refresh on the base skill is nice but eventually you'll find enough cooldown reduction items like bandolier or some red. The dagger skills are perfectly balanced, at one point you'll be wishing you had the other
>>727499367>>727501213Most retarded shit I read all day. Returns is a much better game for one reason alone - no more having to waste time running all over the map killing random critters before you can actually move on in a game where you SHOULDN'T waste time.
For me its my waifu acrid
>>727502278But you still do that?
>>727502439anon... that's a male...
>>727502439for me it's femacridbut without the tits
>>727502559No. You can just move on to the next level once the teleporter charges up like in RoR2. Original ROR1 wanted you to kill every single enemy on the map before you could continue.
how do I revive the commando in my main menu screen?bastard has been dead for a long while lol>>727499120I like the Railgunnerand getting a ton of crowbars
Artificer is fat
>>727503715Ah, I thought you meant before the teleporter. Yeah, that's among a couple of good changes. I forget, but does the remake even put an indicator as to where the teleporter is after you find it?
Lobby doko?
>>727500345>>727501450Thanks, I unlocked the rifle which seems better at medium to long range later in the game. I'll probably try to unlock the alt Lights Out too even if I like the quick evasion of the default one.
>>727499120i really hate unlocking skills in this game. still have a shitload of them to unlock. also might install a mod that tells me what items do. only knowing what they do and having to remember it for future runs is a hassle. cant believe they haven't added an option to have item descs on hover or something
>>727507097>cant believe they haven't added an option to have item descs on hover or somethingthere's an option in the "accessibility" settings that gives you that, i thinkthough i might be thinking of returns, actually
>>727507286>there's an option in the "accessibility" settings that gives you that, i thinkNo, there is and it's fairly easy to see it too once you open the settings for the first time.
>>727507097You can literally add lines on a document to unlock everything
>>727499367Returns is great, the worst part about it is that they never actually finished patching it>Still no mod support even though they talked about it around release>No extra alternative ways to unlock skills>No extra skill additions>No dedicated server supportBesides that they made a good remake, which is really fucking rare today.
>>727499120for me , it's chadcenary
For me, this game is fucking dogshit
for me it's captain with the nuke
>>727508786Truth nuke.
>>727500178Shotgun as primary is good.Secondary you're fine with what you have now but you can go for alt if you want. Both negate fall damage so it's fineFor special you want to unlock the alt as it's much much better. Go drizzle if you have to
>>727501213>im too dumb to set up coop with people who have pirated versions and therefore all the monumental upgrades of the remake are badThe only crime of the remake is adding the stupid overpowered (as in mechanically stronger because you can turn more easily) mouse aiming control method that almost nobody ive been with uses but otherwise its a better game in almost every parameter>>727507910true... but honestly i think its already at a good stopping point, id rather have it stay like this than end up watered down>>727508305>used to think his damage sucked>one day i found out you can cancel his dash with his secondary so you can deal high damage without displacing yourself>started animation cancelling everything into everythinghes awesome
>>727501450>I use the shotgun since it scales better with on hit effectsthe shotgun actually scales worse with things that multiply the damage of your shots (atg, sticky bomb etc), its only better with 'flat' things cause the chance for each individual shot to trigger the procs is halvedof course theres exceptions, its much more reliable with ukelele when facing multiple small enemies even if the damage output is technically smaller
>>727499827Basically every item works well with engi besides movement-enhancing ones. The obvious ones are crit glasses and soldier syringe, but anything that adds to fire rate like berserkers mask, on-hit effects like stickies or ukulele, armor-piercing items, hell even Tesla Coils are a must for your turrets.There really isn't much that can fuck with an engi once he's online unless you somehow fall off the scaling cliff. Which should be pretty difficult to do since once it's online it is an unstoppable healing and crit dealing machine.
>>727499120Playing this game is sort of like being in a nightmare. It's not that scary but you have to go somewhere and its not fun and you're running out of time. It's constantly frustrating.I don't understand why anyone would want to play this game.
>>727509897thats what makes it fun anon
why a general for roguelite/like games doesnt exist? would love to discuss about ror2 and other games of the same genre with all of the anons
>>727510650nvm there's one, please ignore my retardness everyone haha...
>>727510650there's a general for classic roguelikes already, but i think the one for roguelites got merged into /indie/.if you wanna talk about risky specifically, there's a /vm/ general too, though it's pretty slow.
>>727510748>/vm/well that explains it, i never bothered to check that board because of how slow it is, thanks for the info though
best dlc survivors incoming
>>727508305merc is easily the most fun and coolest ror2 survivor
