As far as im aware all of these are still working!

How did you unlock a hidden memory in my brain with that Souvlaki Hut ad? Was this a thing outside Aus????

[@moomoocowmaster8427]

Can confirm that the captain instant reload still works. I haven't tried the others though.

[@natewardle]

Can you look into the multi-player interaction of grapple-chaining multiple loaders together? If that doesn't make sense- if you get a friend or more than one together, you can make a chain of loaders grappling loaders, with the last grappling the first. Then, if you jump and punch about, you go alllllll over the fucking place.

[@deathrotor]

is this video part of an ARG or something? lmao those transmissions were weird but funny still

[@theegg8621]

The acrid cancel doesn't work anymore i think

[@Vepzzzzz]

the captain speed shooting can be done without the inputs but captain just really likes the look of himself chambering another shell into his shotgun, so we have the animation of him doing so. deep lore.

[@subrcket2134]

for even more captain tech if you use diablo and spam shift and m1 you can get 2 of them pretty easily but it might be easier with a certain fps im not sure

[@insertsth93]

If you are looking for the timings on the Captains Diablo strike for the Mithrix fight you need to enter the arena when the cooldown reaches 34 seconds for the first faze and finish off the last enemy of phase two while the cooldown is on 27.

[@DisputedOrigin]

Good catch, I should've included that, thank you

[@9yearold471]

uhh can you elaborate more on this? like do i enter the arena after shooting diablo strike and 34 seconds have passed or 6 seconds have passed? as far as i know diablo strike has 20-second duration. just asking for clarification bc i do not understand, thank you.

MUL-T has another hidden tech that not a lot of people know because nobody uses Scrap Launcher. If you have Scrap Launcher as a second primary with Power Mode, stacking backup mags does actually increase the amount of rockets that it can stock. Interestingly, it refills 4 rockets per cooldown.

[@subrcket2134]

btw captains diabloe if you spam shift while shooting it and m1 you can get 2 down at once

[@crangejo]

Scrap Launcher is simply more reliable than the Nailgun, as a hardcore MUL-T enthusiast

[@anusaukko6792]

@@crangejo I'm pretty sure this is like, objectively false lol. Scrap is a weird variation of the rebar, but the splash radius isn't significant enough to warrant it being better than rebar, and nailgun is better than rebar overall, so it's probably still nailgun > rebar > scrap > saw

[@firstfl0wer]

here's other techs i use all the time on huntress - your m2 gives you reduced gravity when throwing. by pressing m2 and then jumping just a little bit after, you jump higher than usual (you can do this midair w hopoos as well). its nice for earlygame vertical movement, esp if you use the triple blink. it becomes more and more useless with the more attack speed you have though, since the time you're spent throwing the glaive (and also having the less gravity) is reduced. i am also quite sure if you quail jump, you'll retain the movement speed through the whole jump with this, but i dont remember exactly. combined with a trimp using quails it lets you jump waaay higher. m2 can be cancelled into r. just press m2 on a target then r, youll throw the glaive without wasting time on the throw animation.

[@Rock6Sixes]

Glad to see someone mentioned this, was confused why it wasn't in the video since I don't hear it often. It gives a lot of options to routing early game and it's not that hard to do consistently.

@@Rock6Sixes isnt the special just a better version of that tho?

[@Rock6Sixes]

@@reapertemptations If I remember correctly, this gives you more height, but yes, you're right, the special is more useful for consistently going up. The issue is that you may not have the special during the moment you need some height and being able to get more vertical height consistently is good for dodging. You can also use this and then use the special for more height, so it's a useful thing to keep in mind.

finally someone else that understands the sheer power of shock beacons, the best part of the stunlock is that it denies credits to the director since the enemy is still alive, every locked enemy is one that won't respawn. nuclear in swarm artifact or multiplayer if you don't have something like mercenary being mercenary or the WALL-E calling in an orbital strike on them

if you do a follow up video I would love it if you covered pot strats on abandoned aqueduct. moving those is a pain but I've seen races do it pretty reliably in the videos you edit.

[@GenericUsername226]

The survivors dlc changes the acrid animation cancel a little bit. Instead of always canceling into the first strike, it actually cancels into the next one now, allowing you to get acrid's third attack off with the cancel. However the speed at which you can do it at has been lowered because of this, some attack speed reverts it though and acrid becomes even stronger

[@junba1810]

The small clips for every character had me cracking up every time

[@HyperionSultan]

Also something I discovered with MUL-T, is that you can use Red Whip while in combat. (kind of) Once you shoot, the Red Whip will deactivate, but if you hold your M1 and don’t take any damage for a few seconds, the Red Whip will give you its movement speed bonus while you’re shooting.

[@alexcat6685]

20:04 what the hell is this? "Strong flowing... Deep Currents... OF DESIRE." what, what that got to do with bandit? the flip he do?

[@playdoob]

excellent vid. i’ve been looking for a ror2 vid that goes over tech like this. i didn’t know 80% of what u mentioned and I have 116 hours in the game. ur transitions are kinda spooky. yes I want another vid going over the tech u left out.

[@abra_escaped]

Ooh, I'd love to see that follow up video, this kind of stuff is really interesting to me

[@notnotandrew]

That Souvlaki Hut transition is the best transition I've ever seen and it's a crime that nobody that has commented on it yet that I've seen. Update: Upon watching the remainder of the video, I now understand why nobody has mentioned that specific transition. They're all bangers.

[@chrissu988]

really startled at the The Crow animation just randomply popping up for the bandit based taste tho I love that video

[@night_san03]

The dash is a velocity transfer bug. It has to do with how the game handles entity collisions & limited tolerances. Basically, moving towards an enemy and dashing into them just right causes the system to try to run an "unstuck" command over and over until the playercollider is no longer overlapping the entity. With grounded entities, it's easy to give them a plane shift along the floor, but flying enemies are a bit more janky and thus become projectiles. With fall damage being applied based on velocity and not distance, we can start to see a unique interaction that is: everything takes fall damage. So, when you combined the unstuck script being applied to the flying entity rather than the player character, which creates velocity vectors away from the player for the flying entity to follow, you end up getting an enemy orbital cannon, and when aimed at a wall, the fall damage based on the entity's velocity can kill it.

[@alfreddrewes9362]

For Huntress, if you use her special, then immediately blink, it cancels the animation for her special and allows you to get some extra height.

[@TrainerRobo]

i know this is 2 years old, but an acrid tech i learned on accident: you can utilize headstompers trimping without a wax quail or slope by timing a regular old jump and his utility. I've known about this since acrid was released in EA and have never heard anyone talk about it before, but it's the reason i was a VERY early adopter for headstompers

huntress' blink tech actually works on the tc-280 drone allowing you to kill it very quickly :)

[@yaboicdog]

Now I'm not sure if this is a commonly known thing but I think captain's beacons can press down the pressure plate on abandoned aqueduct too. This is arguably the best way to unlock the bands be cause the beacons don't disappear like loader's pylon and it can't be killed like engineer's turret.

[@Psycho-Babble]

Bandit main: you forgot the most simple part of a Bandit's kit "True Flight"

[@jhawley031]

Small reverse tech. Using bens raincoat, helfire tincture, and power mulT can cause his power mode slowness debuff to become permanent even outside of powermode, but using bens raincoat with power mode (no tincture) causes his powermode slowness debuff to not proc meaning power mode keeps you at the same speed as walking

[@jekeliot3838]

One more for MUL-T! If you are using power mode and you choose his secondary to be the Scrap Launcher (Rockets), and you take a backup mag, the amount of "shots" you have will go from 4, to 5. This goes on infinately. So, if you have Nailgun primary, Scrap Launcher secondary, and then fiend on backup mags, it can be an *insane* tech. And then this comboes well with the Blast Canister strat you mentioned! amazin vid, learned a lot, have a great day

[@williamwhite5183]

I found this out just very recently but you can use captions beacons to push one of the buttons on abandoned aqueduct

[@qwp1884]

[@Kajnake]

Bandit has enough mobility to get to most newts with a jump, smoke bomb, shoot (effectively 2 hopoo feathers) and then throw a dagger (very minor increase, can be used to kill all of his downwards momentum to avoid fall dmg as well as the new velocity death loops)

[@OcarinaOfVali]

20:05 bro i was half asleep watching and this scared me so hard waking up

[@cat3rdcaraccident726]

This was an amazing watch for MANY.. many... reasons.

[@benkleman-z8t]

when your in bandits smoke bomb you can use his secondary slash to to gain a boost of vertical mobility, it can work with his primary as well

[@AppleFudge]

a small tech (if you can call it that) with bandit is before the first loop you can usually kill fodder enemies with just lights out, and if there are enough of them around you can use this along with the vertical boost from smoke bomb to reach high up places by constantly re-uping it with lights out

[@Zarzar22]

Was gonna skip around but you said you have 2k hours so I figured, probably worth a watchthrough lmao. Shrimp bit got my sub

[@Batmagoo]

Top quality video mate, I learned a lot!

[@HrtR8]

Something you didn’t talk about is that bandit can fly if you have enough squishy enemies around you like lesser wisps because if you use the smoke bomb in the air it sends you up a bit and then if you hit someone with lights out the cool down gets reset and you can use the smoke bomb to go even higher rinse and repeat for as long as you have enemies nearby and soon you’ll reach the skybox :)

[@mrhat1073]

as commando, you can use his R to stun wisps then follow up with his M2 to slam them against a wall. it's great to instakill malachite/celestine wisps and get a massive cash infusion

[@Buglin_Burger7878]

HeadStompers are an amazing item. Artificer is the best HeadStomper user flat out due to being able to deal AoE damage when launching up and then slamming down. ...but the drawback is they don't exactly synergize with much unlike other reds. Hence why they are "bad" relatively speaking. FMP + Wisp does the same thing but at a generally higher DPS. This is ignoring the many whites, greens, and reds which synergize with this to make you immortal. Even then Headstompers are still good because everyone forgets about some of the worst white and green items that do literally nothing most of the time. They are perfectly in the middle imo. And the lack of fall damage is enough to save your life even if the damage itself only reduces you to 1 health.

[@breezeless_7665]

Captain’s speed shot has a back up variation that is harder, but yield the same result as the regular one. If you still have the second beacon, you can speed shot the same way, but you have to alternate between M2 and M1, which will occasionally make you shoot your taser, but once it’s on cooldown you can do it more effectively. It’s much harder to do as you need to mash your M1 and M2 at the same right timing, but I think it’s worth it enough as a backup to when you end up wasting your beacon on accident

[@gianlucianobonisolo7879]

Didn't expect Adriano Celentano as a segway

[@leviathan4457]

It's fairly minor tech with Loader but you can start sprinting again both after charging up your punch and after grappling onto something. Especially with the latter by spamming sprint I believe you can actually build up momentum while swinging.

[@CCleanerShot]

ANOTHER MERCENARY MECHANIC but probably an extension on an existing mechanic. If you 3rd hit anyways in M1, and hit a new target with M2, it will apply the exposed debuff anyways, despite the 3rd hit having already be casted. Really useful earlygame to proc exposed on extra mobs will still maintaining dps.

[@Lalaoz]

Instakilling flying enemies is caused by launching them into terrain. the game actually has a system that converts momentum into damage but nothing in the vanilla game really has the ability to launch enemies around at high speeds. so this system rarely procs. i'm pretty sure its actually just the fall damage system for enemies, but it checks ALL directional movement, not just vertical. it explains why you can instakill enemies 10s of thousands of health at least. i figured it out while playing some modded rar2 using a custom character simply named "Rocket" no, not the rat. or the racoon. its just a dude with a m202 4 barreled rocket launcher. he also gets a throwable C4 and both the main attack and the C4 do pretty solid knockback. stacking both explosions on an enemy will send it flying into the wall and deal a bunch of damage as a result.
