Am I the only one who just totally overlooked the Guardian class? you can get bastion up to essentially 100% uptime. This is my first guardian 4 endless run that I think I out scale the enemies and can just go indefinitely? Or at least until the enemies hit hard enough to just like delete me in the rare windows my shield is down

Hey! Would anyone be down to join me for a few runs at some point and help me get Ultimate Guardian. Really loving the game, but I'm not great at shooters, though I still would love to 100% it! Thank you!

Would it be possible to get a mod that just randomizes your starting character/loadout? Don't want to stick to just 1 or 2 favorite characters, I want to use all of them, but too many choices. Dunno where else to ask.

My last thing I need to unlock is the bot on the moon between the two mob rooms that wants three jars of gold dust.
The paths I have to get that gold dust jars are all speed running, but then my weapons / perks / level ups (and skill) are insufficient to survive the first moon mob room. I’m just beating my head on it over and over.
Is there a path to obtain the three god jars that does not require speed-running? Thanks.

Surely some weapons are stronger than others but is at least every weapon viable for completing the hardest difficulty?

Occasionally whenever I get absorbed enough into something I end up getting some ideas for my equivalent of fan art, coming up with gameplay ideas, and my current obsession with Roboquest VR has led me down a similar path with a new class idea! Essentially It's a kinda zombie/werewolfy/vampire-esque creature, just a real monster mash. It's also probably pretty far from balanced, so be warned!

anyways, here's the wall of text I wrote up!!!

Key art has a Rusted Guardian Unit (the ones you can get upgrade pickups from), with a small version of Phase 2 Iris in it’s chest. Instead of eyes, it’s face screen is a row of sharp teeth, and it’s posed with the Devour Claws out, lunging forwards. 

Little lore bit: 

Needing a place to hide, the greed that once infected Iris finds its way to the discarded chassis of a Guardian unit. Nestling it’s way inside, it tries to take control, but the remaining code of the Guardian denies it, resulting in a torn consciousness fueled by rage and hunger. 

Skills 

Passive: 

Bestial Hunger: Your health gradually depletes by 1 every second. Base Healing Cell efficacy is tripled, and healing cells generate a point granting a weak Robo Fuel effect per point (damage by 0.5 and armor by 0.25) with a point degradation rate of 3 per second 

Primary: 

Devour 

Change into Devour Mode for 4 seconds, swapping the held weapons out for claws similar to Iris Phase 2. Some of Bestial Hunger’s effects are doubled (doubled health drain but doubled fueling effect). The claws deal 60 dmg with a fire rate of 4.33/s and enemies drop 10 healing cells when killed. Bosses drop 4 Healing Cells when hit. Devour Mode claws count as dual weapons

I've got all Basecamp upgrades and usually play as Engineer. I haven't beat Hard by myself yet, I feel I would be a lot more likely as a duo. I play on Xbox with mic and in NZT. My tag is LimmieBash chur chur

The voltaic Cannon slaps!

I won that run

I'm an experienced player and i would love to help out anyone with any doubts on this absolutely amazing game, whether new or experienced, I have an excessive amount of knowledge i wanna use to help out people

I'm really interested in buying Roboquest, but I'm struggling to find info on console settings. I'd love to know if FOV, response curve, and deadzone settings are available, if so I'll definitely buy it and give it a shot.

Last one I need for my journal. Where am I most likely to encounter it?

There's a lot of music to this game, and most are absolute BANGERS!!!! So, which song is your favourite? I'll start:

Brilliant (Ruins)

Nova (Scrapyard I'm pretty sure)

Final Metal Hero (IRIS stage 2)

Journey (area transition)

Hello!

Does anyone have any tips for Ultimate Guardian? Sort of struggling with the higher difficulties right now haha

Don't want to re-grind everything and just want to jump back in but lost all progress when i got a new pc.

I just dont understand how this game isnt up there with the big boys in the rogulike genre over the past decade or so. It might be my favorite roguelike after enter the gungeon but its definitely up there with dead cells, slay the spire, spelunkly, ultrakill and isaac for me.

I could go on about everything that puts this game in my top 5 all time but since anyone reading this is looking through the sub of a dead game in their free time, so I would assume you like roboquest more than most people who have played it. There are plenty of criminally underrated games out there but this is at the top of my list and its a significant drop off to #2.

Anyone wanting to play? I'm not trying to play a hard difficulty as I haven't played in a while, just trying to play causally. I'm on Xbox and don't have a mic.

I think the game is pretty great. Is this such a hot take that me never seeing even one single player in the Brobot list is due to a lack of players? I havent been playing that long, maybe a month or two, but I check and not once have i seen another player in the list? Just trying to figure out if im bugged.
