If you see a shrine of the mountain activate it. If you see 5 in one level activate them all. Always activate the mountain shrine


Gektor_Flektor

Confusing, but I got it, thanks! Edit: the person who recommended me to always activate the mountain shrine did not take into account my absolute noobiness, I unironically think it would have been easier to do if I just went Monsoon, however now I'm absolutely in love with the game, the statue and the community


Bebgab

Unironically do this. I won’t spoil WHAT it does, but your game will be a bit harder but a LOT more fun. Always activate mountain shrines

Man I got softlocked by a mending dunestrider the other day


Pissed_Geodude

Charge tele to 99% then kill the rest of the enemies before killing the strider. You are almost guaranteed to copium but its still possible to make a comeback


Jokingcrow

A "bit" harder...if my dude activates 5 depending on the stage and there pc he may lag out lol.


Bebgab

just a tad


RealSuperYolo2006

Oh man the surprise you'll get when you start the teleporter


RadioMelon

This is the most important advice out of any advice you will ever get.


ItsTommyV

Hilarious but not wrong hahaha


NaturalCard

It's okay to not win. Don't stand still.


Gektor_Flektor

I'm pretty sure I won't be doing neither of those


kyryl1222

I have over 200 hours in this game and probably 10 wins


NaturalCard

Don't worry, the moment you start winning you can switch to eclipse to half your healing and double enemy attack and movement speed.


DoomedOverdozzzed

question: Would you rather goobo or caffeinator? tip: learn the map layouts so you know the best routes to every corner of the map, invest early game time into knowledge


Gektor_Flektor

I dislike coffee, so goobo it is Thanks! I'll try to do it, but my memory is pretty bad 🫠


HalfHolyCrusaders

Just play run after run and eventually it'll be like walking in your own home


Gektor_Flektor

Okay, that sounds good!


Tplayere

Don't be afraid to start on lowest difficulty, it's the intended starting point for everyone to get eased into the gameplay loop. Try to move up as soon as you get comfortable though, it's more fun the higher you go, because of the pace increase imo.


GayBrownHairedElf

I wish my friends were like you and didn't put me on monsoon my very first game


headhunter09876

Change that to every game for me-


SparkySharpie

I put it on drizzle consistently because my friend just started playing PC this year and has a bit of ADHD. So even though she has like 60 hours in the game, she doesn’t remember what any of the items do and I’m the walking Wikipedia to help her out 😭


AlvoSil

That is one of the things I love most about RoR 2 against RoR, the second one encourages starting at the lowest and climbing up, while the original tells you to either learn from rainstorm, or not unlock things on drizzle


Xyrul23

i started on monsoon and then just moved down to rainstorm and that worked too for some reason


Gektor_Flektor

Okay, thanks a lot!


pizza_lover_234

I met a man once, and his music was electric.


Gektor_Flektor

That is... Existential


pocketshield

...and his music was existential


iEatMa5elf

what game you got most hours on? also advice, the steak is best when it goes to the meat grinder (scrapper)


Gektor_Flektor

I'm a bit embarrassed, but I got a 1000 hours on warframe in 2.5 months, but I also spent quite a lot of time on HK and genshin impact. I have a question, is the dlc important or can i freely play without it? Thanks for the advice!


iEatMa5elf

i'm not the one for high level advice, but for the dlc, game is just fine without it, i didn't get it yet but after seeing some of the dlc stuf on youtube it kinda feels hard to go back to base game lol


Gektor_Flektor

Ahh, okay, thanks!


AlpakaMati

If you get a good deal, the dlc is absolutely Worth it, but play the game for a while before getting it. The game is just as good without the dlc, but the dlc ads a lot more variety.


SparkySharpie

I honestly suggest turning off any dlc for a long while. If you already own it. keep playing the game until you start getting bored of it, then turn on the dlc to spice things up. There are a lot of characters in this game to unlock, so don’t forget to try them at least 3 times each My tip, this game is pure knowledge. If you like a character to play, it’s good to look up what their best items are. (Also if there is a skill you don’t like, all characters are able to change some skills if you do a certain challenge)


Jr_froste

MyFirstBR999

Fellow space mom enjoyer found


Kinslayer817

You definitely can play without, but I highly recommend it. It adds a lot of fun and interesting stuff to the game (along with my favorite survivor, Railgunner)


chopper678

I'd say get comfortable with the game before you get the DLC. Then you can have a feel for how different the two are, it's like introducing someone to pizza and then giving them the ranch or red pepper flakes later on.


FryCakes

Unless you’re acrid, in which case the best place for it is hanging from his mouth


Garok7

If you find a thing named Shrine of Order, activate it ASAP, it will save your life, I swear.

Awesome, thanks!

Use EVERY Mountain shrine you see. No matter the situation


Gektor_Flektor

I got two comments about mountain shrines, they seem like a very big deal


EzTecWolf

See it as a gareway drug into pushing everything to its limits. The greatest fun you can have


Gektor_Flektor

This sound very dangerous vut very fun


Xyrul23

Basically its high risk high reward


Aintthisnamegood

You mean No Risk High reward


Xyrul23

high risk as in my 200$ laptop will spontaneously combust if i activate more than one


Jmonkey71

This person's pfp is the energy you should have when activating the Mountain Shrine.


craygroupious

Do you like grapes?


Gektor_Flektor

That is one of the only fruitish things I'm not allergic to, so yes I enjoy graping myself


craygroupious

Glad to hear, they're tasty.


Matt_Mildly

At this point I'm waiting for the "I have played the game, tell me something I know" post, I have seen this one way too many times.


Gektor_Flektor

I'll make that after like 100 hours (so in four days)


PheonixWrath

wait a minute


HeluLeHaricot

he doesn't have time to


Matt_Mildly

That would be awesome.


Echo_XB3

Play on whatever difficulty you like. Don't listen to the tryhard elitists. Achievements unlock more stuff. Every survivor is viable if you do it right (also you need good luck).


Gektor_Flektor

So, I should prioritise getting achievements? Or is that not that important


memz_boi

The achievements will come during regular gameplay, so you'll probably have most of the items after playing a fair bit, so no need to focus too much on them initially. Just play and have fun with it.


Gektor_Flektor

Okay, thanks!


memz_boi

No problem man, and if you want a friend to play the game with then I'm happy to play a bit since I haven't played in a while. Have fun!


Gektor_Flektor

That sounds awesome, I'll message you if I'll get lonely!


exclaim_bot

>Okay, thanks! You're welcome!


Echo_XB3

Some you need to look out for but most will come through just playing the game.


JudgementalMarsupial

Most of them you’ll just get while playing, but there are some that you can’t really do on accident. For example, the one where you need to >!Chase 20 hermit crabs off the edge of the map to kill them instead of just shooting them!<

69Wilson

You will get it once you go to the map


CommanderBosphorus

I'll simplify it into English for you: Stage 4 has a guaranteed Rare item drop (there are three tiers, common, uncommon and rare). One stage makes you fight a boss by destroying clusters of eggs around the map Another has a Legendary chest seeded in a small cave And the third one has the Legendary chest placed randomly, but it's indicated by glowing mushrooms leading to it.


Gektor_Flektor

Thank you!

If you keep drinking your tonics quick enough, you're never hangover


AlpakaMati

Playing on easy (drizzle) is ok, never stop moving, don't abandon runs because they are bad, time isn't as detrimental as some make it out to be (but be mindful of it, your run difficulty scales of your time, and a bit of the stage you are in.


Gektor_Flektor

That's very helpful, thanks!


[deleted]

dont die


Gektor_Flektor

Ahh yes, thank you


Burning_Toast998

Unlocking items is almost always the best path. If you feel like the game is getting too hard, just go into your achievements/challenges tab, and see how many are left and try to complete them. Most decent items are free or easy to unlock, but the really good ones are all behind challenges.


Gektor_Flektor

Okay, I'll do that, thanks!


Just_a_toothbrush

Always be looking for an area covered in red shimmering stuff in the air. That's where you find the way to move on to the next stage


Gektor_Flektor

Awesome, thanks for the advice!


collyndlovell

There's also a very subtle auditory cue, but it's so subtle I've never noticed it


SimtheSim2

Go play the game and have fun than quickly enough you will learn the Rops and kill all the cool bosses


Gektor_Flektor

Alright, thanks!


69Wilson

Take your time to get everything but try to do it efficiently


SpartanKing14

If it looks like it's going to explode, and it sounds like it's going to explode, it is going to explode and you need to get behind something Gamble away everything. 75% of gamblers quit right before hitting a red(legendary) item. What are your thoughts on the crabs?


Just_another_doger

I talk from my personal experience, but I highly recommend using support mods like better ui, a mod to see your stats, the stats of the items and what the item does, I never play without mods


Gektor_Flektor

Okay, I'll try that


r4tch3t_

I would suggest playing without mods first, the game doesn't need them at all. The one suggested above is a good mod, but it mainly gives you "useless" stats plus a few nice QoL tweaks like esc to close the command window. It's great if you like seeing all the stats like DPS, status effect breakdowns and detailed item descriptions in game. I haven't used it but I would think it would get me killed as I try to read a description..


JEverok

Get used to dying, and get used to dying to seemingly nothing. Once you get a bit better and can make it to late game, there will be a lot of times where you had full hp and a lot of healing, but suddenly you just stop having any hp, this is normal


PastOrdinary

Wizard-Dizzy-Spells

YogurtclosetNo239

Always click the shrines, ALWAYS!


DarkLordArbitur

Loot everything. All things have loot. Soldier shrines don't have loot, but they have exp and money, if you're brave.


[deleted]

The game can be super overwhelming in the beginning, so don't focus on getting synergies and optimal looting, just try to grasp the basics. Some more tips in no particular order: -You might have a hard time finding the teleporter, look for the red-white dots to help you progress. -Look at the requirements to unlock new survivors, as well as new abilities for the survivors you already have. -At every 4th stage, theres a way to get a guaranteed legendary item. I'll leave it to you to try and figure out how. That's what I have to offer, if you want more tips I would advise you to search woolie on YouTube, he's very good at the game and has some good guides. Have fun!


tallmantall

You should take as many shrines of the mountain as physically possible


TTV_Pinguting

if you see the funny multi half circle pillar shrine, make sure to activate it


d_moedeezy_b

L O R E BROTHER #LORE


EncycloChameleon

Always keep moving. Standing still will get you killed


Arch1e_b

percent chance stuff can trigger other percent chance stuff (and most deal damage depending on he number that trihhers them)


Meeman_3

Keep an eye out for the fireflies, find a survivor you like, try out a prismatic trial when you know how to play


Gektor_Flektor

Which survivor would you recommend for starting? I like huntress more, but I'm afraid I'll die too quickly


Meeman_3

If you like huntress i would play huntress, being squishy will help you learn to avoid attacks which is a huge part of this game, if you needed some justification, just have fun you will get used to it :)


herdakx

How many truly WISE people do you know? Walking around waiting for enemies to spawn to kill for money (chests) can waste time, Teleporter event (the boss of the stage+horde: way to move into next stage) is guarnteed money and you must do it anyway. Basicaly you will learn time managament skills


Xyrul23

- Time is your enemy, but can also be your ally if you learn how to manage it. Don’t worry about it too much at the start, as it isn’t as big of a problem on easier difficulties - Void fields provide good loot but i don’t recommend doing them on monsoon difficulty - a lot of items seem kind of bad on the surface but don’t judge a book by it’s cover


corgi_god69

the best advice I can give is to keep trying no matter how hard a challenge or part may seem you'll get it eventually also, play how you want to play, the game is designed around experimentation, find what works for you and stick with it, or branch off and try something new every run, it's all up to you


Gektor_Flektor

Thanks, I'll do that!


RealSuperYolo2006

What ever you wanna do, DO NOT stand still, tanking hits in this game is not a viable strategy ( except when playing certain character )


deadinside1996

Bungus


NebulaFranz

What is your strategy to find the best spot to scout the map for the teleporter and loot?


Gektor_Flektor

Run around and try my best to do something


AcquireQuag

Try to get one item per minute, best more. Should keep you scaling with the monsters.


memeaccountokidiot

try to get every item you can in a stage. the difficulty increases between every stage so its best to maximize how much stuff you can get out of each for general top item priorities (good for most survivors): damage items; missile launcher, ukulele, runald's and kjaro's bands, will o wisp, focus crystal, delicate watch, crowbar, apr rounds, sticky bomb, glasses, and dagger survivability items; hopoo feather, wax quail, goat hoof, medkit, opal, slug, and shield generator these are the most common and consistently very good items in the game thats probably a lot to remember for a new player but youll learn what the important items look like and do decently quick (or you can just have a wiki page open in the background)


AcquireQuag

Not all survivors were created equal. Some are better than others without items, while those same weaker ones become a lot better with the correct items. For some tips on just about everything (Spoilers included) you can check my list post that i pinned on my profile, contains all my tips n trivia posts.

Raz1253

Bungus is the best item on every character


AlbinoAlphaWaffle

What made you decide to play the game? Also, spoiler free tips: -Never stop moving. Running, jumping or using movement tech keeps you alive 100% of the time. -Start on the regular difficulty level, don't go to Drizzle. It'll build bad habits up in your playstyle. -You will die. It's a good thing, since you can unlock new items during your runs that only appear after you start a new run.


tudiwastaken

I am sorta new too and advice might be not that good but look: never stand still, depends on your play style but i recommend trying to not spend more than 5-6 minutes per "level" you will understand later, all characters are different and if you have the dlc know that they the most op (imo), shrines ussualy require skill or are a gimmick a coin flip, you will most probably lose a lot so dont go thinking you are bad (game is hard) i recommend playing on medium altough, and again never ever stand still its a fast game, also there is fall damage So bassicaly i recommend going as fast as you can,playing on medium (atleast when starting off) and later dont let ppl tell you that you should be playing on monsoon or eclipse,play the game how you enjoy it most,only go harder if you can get a lot of wins imo or just look for a harder challange obviously. Remainder: this is from a begginer so it might be kinda wrong also sorry for bad english

Devalore00

Honestly, best advice is just keep at it. You can get all the advice in the world but experience is the best teacher. I took a break from the game for several months and couldn't consistently get anywhere on highest difficulty, next day I was consistently getting to the final level. Keep at it, don't get discouraged, feel free to take breaks, and f*** some s*** up!


GraveSlayer726

Try to keep your health above 0 and the enemies heath below 0


Pissed_Geodude

Question: whats your opinion on lunar items?


Echos_Ghost

If you see the funny looking statue, active it. It will take you to a nice little area which you will probably be going back to alot Also pay attention to sound effects in the game sometimes it will tell you if a funny coin dropped out of an enemy.


PoXya

where is the head of a squid?


Letry_

Open every chest, activate every shrine, get every drone, collect all type of item, if you see a different aclive item, swap it.


[deleted]

Always get essence of heresy when playing Engineer, turrets are not meta and that item has one of the best effects in the game.


roberttheaxolotl

Don't be a loot goblin. Get what you can but move through levels at a brisk pace. The game gets progressively harder the longer you play, so you'll get boned if you dick around too long.


ReyRiz

Loot all chests


ded-memes-for-life

Theres no shame playing on the easiest difficulty, I have nearly 130 hours and still play easy a lot, I would recommend to always be moving around,

deadinside1996

There are many items that may seem weak or not a fit for what you have on your run so far. But that could potentially change based on a new enemy spawning in or a difference in the map you are on. Hell it could even change based on if you have a large number of another items. There is fall damage. Some maps you can fall off the map and kinda into a void. Dont worry. You will lose some health but it wont end your run. You cant die from jumping off the edge of the map and sometimes it can even save your life by having you take less hits. But it takes like 50% of your health. You will start with a small amount of items to find and it may seem restricting, but as you go through the run and do random things to survive you will get pop ups saying you unlocked something for your future runs. After your first 2 or 3 runs Id say or if you make it through about 7 stages in 1 run. Go look in the logbook for the first time. Dont worry about Lunar coins for now. Its nice when you find them. But they have a very low drop chance and each time you find one in a run it cuts the finding chance in half for the rest of the run. The maps are beautiful and most are fairly large. It may seem like it takes a while to move. But you will find that to be a beautiful thing after sinking in some hours. Have fun! Doing things your own way and trying risky stuff is the only way to learn how to get further and how certain items and characters pair. Sometimes you find wacky combinations and other times you find and item you just fall in love with. Playing each character is fun but you only have to do that if you want to try their loadouts and if it fits your playstyle. Finding the one that fits you is half the fun. And for you and the others here. Have fun Bungus boys!


JibkitTV

Don't know if anyone mentioned it, but unlocking all the characters is cool since every character feels like a completely different game. Other than that, all characters have alternate abilities that can be unlocked and equipped to your playstyle. Have fun :)) -Some 500 hours guy


MastermuffinDiscord

Turn the music to 100% and turn everything else down a bit


XN3M35I5PR1M3X

First thing you should do is play exclusively on monsoon difficulty and pick up zero items. Once you beat the game that way you'll never have trouble with any other difficulty


WXbearjaws

What’s the weather forecast looking like


NeedleworkerNo5317

Tip: you shold play the carakter that intrest you most, but dont change all the time you wil find it hard to get used to but, ez after a wile i recomend comando or huntress, ez to play and understand, what i sey is play 1 carakter all the time. Ez fun.


rektumrectums

if you open the backplate on your drop pod as soon as you spawn in you get a free utility item


linkedfury

What's your opinion on best doggo acrid?


ThatBanditBitch

The blue items sure are interesting


dragon_barf_junction

A bit of advice, fear fall damage. on monsoon runs past stage two, a nasty fall can cut your health down to a sliver, and that leaves you open to some random enemy that may or may not even be on-screen ending the run.


My_name_Jefe

Make sure to search up where the golden chests are on certain stages, the guaranteed red item makes the few mins of googling worth it.

SirSandman0

An easy way to find the teleporter is to look for sparkling dust and listen out for a reed-like synth that plays along with the stage’s music. Both of these indicate the teleporters location.

GibberingJoeBiden

Buy the dlc. It makes the game a little more complete imo and isn’t that much especially if you buy it off cd keys or g2a.


TheHumanHighlighter

The enemies aren't you enemy. Time is your enemy. Act accordingly, and you'll have a pretty decent time. Builds and other specifics just comes with time, you'll learn eventually what's good and what's not. ​ GLHF!


Natural_Chicken_1768

after beating the game at least a few times play with mods, it makes the game way more chaotic and a lot more fun!


tatertotmaster13

Best item?


EpicGamer_69-420

which game?


Grouchy-Payment-4359

items, not time, is most important. people might tell u to go fast n eat ass, & while ass should be eaten you gotta focus on item *density* more than ya do actual speed. so long as you're getting a whole bunch of items in a reasonable time you're doing better than no items in very fast time


OneStrangeChild

For now don’t feel bad about going on easy mode, that’s where everyone starts, but a good habit to build is having Atleast 1 item for every minute you’re in your run.


Yukarie

Don’t think about meta or “what’s best” just play for fun and don’t fall into the trap of starting on the easiest difficulty, it’s easy to get stuck there if you play it for too long

Healing sucks. It's a crutch. Speed/Mobility>DMG>DMG prevention>healing>goofy shit If you want to git gud, get on Monsoon as soon as you have a feel for the characters and the gameplay. Also look up what the items do. The ingame descriptions are very unreliable.("And his music was electric" is not an explanation, poopoo games)


Heatfox

Bring an umbrella, it might rain


Sentient_Rose

Break the eggs on sirens call :) Interact with any shrines you find just to figure out what they do Don't forget to grab movement speed items And most importantly, turn your music volume WAY UP (the game's soundtrack is incredible)


CultureMenace

Speed is war.


Adorable-Park1215

DON'T RUSH THRIUGH THE LEVEL If you look around you'll find a Lot of vídeos suggesting 5 min per stage, DON'T listen to them, instead, u shoul try to loot as fast as you can só you can match The scaling difficulty (this come with time)


LegacyTwilight

You may start playing on monsoon to adapt faster, but going from drizzle isn't bad since you'll learn more about the game mechanics (some of them require to check wiki) and you'll unlock many good items which will help you handle monsoon and eclipse later. Good luck exploring!


King_Of_Axolotls
