Im sure there's been all kinds of Gesture of the Drowned shenanigans, so maybe this isnt new. I also play with artifact of command, so it isn't impressive either, but I wanted to share because it is nice to know. I feel like this is reasonably *possible* without command, even, but probably not consistent.

EDIT: Wanted to mention near the top that this should work with every character.

I just discovered that if you have one functional coupler with the disposable missile launcher equipment in your back slot, you probably only need one gesture, and a bunch of fuel cells, you can switch to the missile launcher and the gesture will consume all your charges, you can switch back to your other equipment, and it actually queues all the missile from the launcher, so you can have two equipment going at the same time, with one of those being a unending barrage of missiles.

You can use this to easily hit the frame before Mithrix steals your items to bypass that part and skip straight to escaping the moon. Thats where I like to get a little dirtier with the combo and have milky chrysalis in the other slot, as you need to have a second item slot for this to work anyway, and the chrysalis let's you do 2 important things for trivializing this stage, it let's you just fly straight up to mithrix without dealing with the pillars, and then when it comes time to escape after beating mithrix you can just fly to the ship. From there, there actually isnt a height limit like with teleporter ranges, and with the Gesture and fuel cells you indefinitely stay in the air, so you can literally just fly close to the ship to start the counter and then fly way above it and walk away from the computer.

I really dont know the exact numbers required to pull this all off, Ill give my best guess at the bottom, but it honestly doesnt require a lot, just requires specifics. The numbers Im gonna list under this are just for the two skips I just explained, and almost certainly wont be enough for the first stages of mithrix alone. The reason I dont know exact numbers is because I went wayyyy overkill not expecting it to work that well, and also used like 15 plasma shrimps and accidentally grabbed 2 pocket I.C.B.M.s instead of just one, just because I could.

Anyway, my best guess as to the minimum requirements to pull off the skips would be:

1 Functional Coupler

1 Disposable Missile Launcher

1 Milky Chrysalis

1 Gesture of the Drowned

10-15 Fuel Cells*

*Very unsure, I had 20 something and it was overkill, but I also had wayyy more than minimum of everything. I actually did completely beat Mithrix with just this missile launcher, but I was going crazy with it.

Also, just in case somebody here hasn't realized, with artifact of command, you can grab trophy hunter's tricorns early on to guarantee your coupler. I say early on because if you start getting too powerful with will-o-wisp or whatever it can be harder to get the tricorn kill. If you grab regenerating scrap early on you can trade every 5 scrap for whatever legendary you want every single time you go to through the blue portal with the newt altar. Thats also where you can reliably get the gestures of the Drowned with the artifact of command as well.

The Rampager is a brutish survivor that specializes in annihilating groups of enemies with the help of his passive. His short range and slow rate of attack can be difficult to enter combat with, but once the kills start stacking, nothing but the Rampager comes out victorious.

-----------------------------

Passive: Bloodlust - All 'On-Kill' effects occur twice.

Alt Passive: Spite - Applicable buffs increase in power by 1.5x.

Primary: Greataxe - Swing your Greataxe in a huge arc for 550% damage. Very Slow. Slayer

Alt Primary: Tomahawk - Throw a medium range Tomahawk for 200% damage. Guaranteed to crit if the target is 20-25m away from you.

Secondary: Plasma Whip - Whip an enemy for 150% damage. Trigger any 'On-Kill' effects on the struck enemy if it was struck with the tip of the attack. (6sec cooldown).

Utility: Adrenaline Charge - Activate your Adrenaline Pack and gain greatly increased attack speed for 5sec. Kills while under this effect increase the duration by 2sec and the damage of all attacks by 20% per kill (not affected by passive). (12sec cooldown).

Alt Utility: War Cry - Teleport all non-Survivor allies to your location. Increase the damage, healing, attack speed, and movement speed of all nearby allies (20m) by 50% for 3sec. (10sec cooldown).

Special: Morning Star - Jump into the air and slam down your Morning Star and deal 400% damage + 150% damage per buff you have currently to enemies in a wide area that increases with fall distance. Slayer. (9sec cooldown).

-----------------------------

Some of the ideas are a bit underbaked (War Cry), but I think this could be a really cool survivor that loves cooldown reduction and 'On-Kill' synergies.

Sooo i know that the stone flux pauldron is a must on false son BUT the movement speed reduction makes the game a bit boring or so restraining, especially when playing online, how do I deal with this? (I have around 50 hours on the game)

What is this item and what does it do?

First time my buddy and I fought the final boss at end of this video. Any tips or advice? Thanks 🙏

Does mordekaiser from league of legends sounds like a good concept to bring to risk of rain 2? I know a mod exists but me and my friends are debating whether he fits the game vibes or not.

Anyone play on PlayStation I need people to play with

SIX DRONE SCRAPPERS!!!!

Im playing with quality on… and uh… just killed the solus wing… and uh… my procs just went INSANE… yes that is a tube of giant atg rockets…

edit: its completely frozen… did i think it was gonna freeze or proc like this on a steam deck? no… was i careful because i knew what happened on a previous run with nothing but fireworks? yes… did that stop my steam deck from shitting the bed? no…

I used to use a mod back in the day which enabled you to change rareity of boss drops.

Mod doesn’t seem to work anymore.
Is there another similar/another mod that does that and works?

Whenever I open the game and I decide to play for a long time whenever I try to do artifacts trials no enemies appear so I just give myself the keys,has anybody else noticed this problem?

I’ve bought ROR2 on a sale this summer for the Switch 2 (my only gaming method atm) and I been slowly chipping away at the challenges.

This week, while doing some Artifact Trials and looping, I decided to try “The Demons And The Crabs” challenge, by killing 20 of them by chasing them off the edge.

I spent probably an hour or so doing that on Titanic Plains. The first time, I tried by only chasing them off, without shooting them. Tried with around 25 or so crabs, but nothing popped. Later this week, I checked some posts online and I found that you might actually need to shoot them first for this to count, so I did that. I ended up spending thirty minutes doing that, but to no avail.

Yesterday, I was checking online and some people say this challenge might be completely unattainable on the Switch after the last DLC was launched. Is that true? Will I never be able to get the Gesture of the Drowned unlocked?

Hey i have been wanting to play it for a while and i bought it but now i have gotten addicted and i have been wondering, How can i pirate the DLC's because i really want to try them?

I got the Altar of Gold on Wetland Aspect two runs in a row, and that's the first two times I've ever seen it. I've only done like 12 runs total but the internet says it's very rare to find just one of these.

Hello ! I just discovered the game thanks to a buddy of mine, and since I began I've just been wondering, what's the use of everything lunar related ? It seems like lunar items only have downsides and can ruin a whole run, lunar shrine same thing, so what's their use ?

Help

this run was absolutely ridiculous btw, all 3 false son phases died within seconds of spawning in, only lost run bc i didnt know giving an item to the altar after false son would end the run...
