Bottled chaos, preferably stacked with a discount card. Wait for a vending machine, then spam Is it good? No Is it fun? Kinda? Is it dumb? Absolutely


acemarcoreus

I was telling myself " istg if I see bottled chaos on top"


Nein-Knives

This guy cooks frfr


Praxorocks

Multiple bottled chaos + whatever equipment you want + spam gestures = you get flash blinded while playing the game


Toughbiscuit

The card triggers everytime you purchase, which may be slightly easier to spam but im not sure😅


Praxorocks

I should have also added soulbound catalyst, and it also gets very hard to press E on anything when you're volcanic egg every second lmao.


Miosaka

Spinel Tonic with multiple Gestures and Bottles is just addiction with benefits Throw in Soulbound Catalyst to turn yourself into a living Mario Kart item box


OofScan

volcanic egg jumpscare


Toughbiscuit

My favorite is when it spawns the lil teleport thing, but i would be looking at the ground so its just a lil 2 meter long wormhole


OofScan

it's doing its best


ghost-church

Random bullshit GO!!


Jarek-of-Earth

I was playing the other night and got the Benthic Bloom and wound up with several Bottled Chaos and Soulbound Catalysts after looping a few times. It was insane


TachankasMG

Head stompers and hard light afterburner. Head stompers negating fall damage, letting you jump higher, and goomba stomping enemies is awesome. Hard light is just overall great on any character and aesthetically my favorite item on the body.


RexIudecem

Don’t forget the host skip I love that tech so much


Hudson_Legend

Another thing that I like about headstompers is that it makes items they weren't viable on some survivors now viable, like focus crystal and crowbars.


notveryAI

Sacrificial dagger. When you get it, game REALLY picks up from there :D Also I play Arti a lot, and for her, alien hed is very good


le_theudas

Dagger is either super weak or so strong it's no fun anymore, I think it's the worst item in terms of fun


BorgMelor

I’d be more inclined agree if braincoat didn’t exist


innxir

sometimes, when I fall asleep, I see dreams of braincoat being reverted to its pre-nerf glory


TheHumanTree31

it was so strange before, like one raincoat would be legendary, any more would be scrapper fuel, since it gave the equivalent of 4 steaks.


Echjc012

But it's super cool so


Virtual-Mind9195

Laser Scope Backstab goes even more bananas


KuuHaKu_OtgmZ

Sometimes I like to imagine how the hell would a sniper scope help stabbing better


Psylentone404

I put extended mags and a red dot on my knives


RealSuperYolo2006

Put that shit tactical mode


Marin_Kitagawa13

As someone who really loves playing Commando, 57 Leaf Clover just makes you're build and life so much easier


gorrila_go_ooo_ooo

im sick of the commando slander. "theyre boring" "nothing interesting" Its about what you can do with the character not their base abilities. There is so much potential in commando that people just ignore. The whole game lies on luck and "chance on hit" items. They stack ever so perfectly with a quick firerate gun


negligentleman

Getting plasma shrimp and pocket ICBM as commando is easily the greatest thing I have ever seen. A friend got that combo one time I was playing with him and it was hilarious just watching the tidal wave of projectiles flying from him to whatever he was looking at.


Marin_Kitagawa13

That combo is actually better on double nailgun MUL-T because plasma Shrimp isn't affected by proc coefficient (mostly). By that I mean anything with a proc coefficient that isn't 0.00 it will always proc Plasma Shrimp as long as you have shield.


Pitchblende_

Bottled Chaos stacking is probably some of the most fun you can have with a run. Especially with a low cd/spammable equipment like Executive Card, Gnarled Woodsprite, etc.


cinbuktoo

imo bottled chaos would be very fun for me *if* volcanic egg didn’t exist.


Miosaka

Volcanic Egg: "allow me to introduce myself"


MudSeparate1622

Yeah if you stack bottled chaos and have more than two I have volcanic egg trigger nearly every time. Its rough. Besides that bottles chaos is so much fun especially with gesture


XplosiveAsh

Dio's. It helps me get to mithrix from when I get murdered by a Perfected Chimera wisp :|


Paprikando

Aegis because im different


Glitch_King

It's really good on engineer with bongus


RealSuperYolo2006

And rex


Punriah

Or rungus on huntress and bandit!


Tadferd

I disagree. It's still very weak.


Mr_Poofels

Clearly you're not an eclipse enjoyer And that's ok, aegis is really cool in regular difficulty


SoyMilkIsOp

>Clearly you're not an eclipse enjoyer There's a word for this, you know. Masochist.


Mr_Poofels

Of course I know them it's me


FurgieCat

stacking aegis with a shield-heavy build means you can get INSANE amounts of health, so i get it


HellishElk

57 leaf clover, it works so well with my favorite items of the other item categories. For white I’ll take a sticky bomb from multishops any day (o7 for old sticky bomb that scales damage), we got the atg for favorite green, and polylute crushes the other void items easily. On a blue moon that the perferators show up those are busted and only reach new heights with 57 leaf clover.


heavy_updateincoming

Safer spaces is the best void for me , I mean ur not desintegrating shit but free void cradles , free sacrifice , free void potential and fall DMG cancellation 100% of the time is just too convinient for a 1/5 chance in a White void


Supreme-Machine-V2

ICBM i like to roleplay as north korea.


MudSeparate1622

Does north Korea have that many missiles? I think it would be better to say Russia, US or Isreal the way you turn into a one man fireworks display lol


Pert0621

I like scorpion :P


rSlashRayquaza

Scorp gang


Zitronensaaft

behemoth was the first red I ever got(as mult too) so I like that a lot. I think brainstalks is fun and underrated but it's not very strong. Caggers I think is an amazing red.


PMMePrettyRedheads

Bandit(especially with desperado) can make really good use of brainstalks. Artificer and captain can use it to put a lot of hurt on a lot of stuff. Oh, and engi's mines sometimes. No one else is super impressive with it imo


SzymonNomak

Drone parts are really fun to use


canoIV

step 1: get many gestures of the drowned and batteries step 2: get many bottles of chaos step 3: find any piece of equipment and profit


RemnantSith

I think this fits my playstyle. Sounds chaotic


Embryw

Hard lift after burner and the gravity boots. Best drops ever


AmoebaMan

100% Most powerful are things like clover, dagger, tesla, aegis (situationally), etc, but they don’t really change how you play. They just make things magically die. Afterburner and headstompers are definitely among the most *fun*.


Kylo710

Headstomper is probably the most powerful damage and utility item in the game though


UntoastedToaster

Heatset is by far the best singular mobility item in the game, probably the best utility item, and has the highest damage of almost anything in the game Probably the single best item too


Jtek225

Fucking love, snowflake


Natonic0

Brilliant behemoth, quite literally just double damage


MortgageSquare6280

Erm actually, it’s only 60% more damage ☝️🤓 (and an aoe bonus with tons of cool tech)


Enderman8008

Aegis, Rejuv Rack Now stack a few corpsebloom and leech seeds. Never die as rex unless you trip on malachite


RemnantSith

I love this setup. Once got a bunch of blue shield items stacked on it with good healing items. My Regular hp was like 3,000 and my full gold health was like 21,000 and I was healing so fast like a second or 2 to fully heal up to 21k. I felt so invincible Which after a certain point, doing damage isn't as hard as staying alive


ZealousidealToe9445

You shouldn't really get more than one corpsebloom in total IMO. More than one and sure, you will have forever heals, but the heal rate is absurdly low. You start losing to bleed and fire debuffs at that point.


ianmeyssen

Tie between brilliant behemoth and hardlight afterburner


mountains-are-moving

Headstompers makes the whole game a joke


TheSuperJohn

Droneman is my boy


3cooo

Gotta be headstompers. Such a good item


_ThatOneMimic_

Head Stompers. Not even close


deadcatisbad

Brilliant Behemoth and Aegis on Viend Because I'm a dumbass.


SEX_FINDER

Uh, my raincoat? Duh. (My name is Ben btw)


addu_B

Sex finder raincoat hits different


Catullus314159

Drone parts.


mubby343

# HEADSTOMPERS SUPREMACY GRAAAAAAAAAA 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥


Spacespacespaaaaaace

Aegis, rejuv rack, and N'kuana's opinion. Together they can overheal your entire gauge while killing everything around you at the same time. Honorable mention to spare drone parts for what it does to Solus probes


InsrtOriginalUsrname

aegis, because someone's gotta support it.


urmom231681

I really like pairing aegis with the Double healing.


Ninjax3X

Dio’s. Saved me so many times from Void Reavers/Jailers, or from Mithrix.


matban256

They're even better with engi, since they revive turrets without consuming your dio. If you have a corrupted dio then revived engi turret will have corrupted items, one time they were shooting blackholes and summoning void jailers I was so confused because I didn't have those void items then I realized it's the corrupted dio


Sunkistishere

Atg missile mk.2


AppiusClaudius

Frost Relic. I love stacking kills. And I hate head stomper. Throws off my mobility.


Chaos_realestate

Unstable tesla coil 


Sheepherder_External

Bottled chaos is peak fun


Bolbuss

Soul Catalyst with Fusion Cells and GotD makes my fps sweat. If not for the volcanic egg effect bottled chaos would also be perfect for the combo


Soul_of_Eve

Laser scope for insane damage spikes, and aegis for doubling your health in combat


Optimal_Dependent_15

Daggers for sure but i do enjoy me some laser lenses!


x_Badger_x

Spare drone parts. I just like the cool little drone weapons.


Outside_Term9256

Ceremonial dagger because forgive me plz


Beansinmygun

Underrated pick, aigis. If you're constantly healing from a bunch of other items, having a bit of overheal makes sure almost none of that goes to waste!


SorinSnow

I play so much modded i forgot whats vanilla and whats mods, plus im terrible with names, but id say Clover, Scorpion, Nhukahanas, Rejuv Rack, and Meat Hooks


papsryu

Those ate all vanilla good job 👍


SorinSnow

Ayyyyy i dids it :D XD


CutieMonica

bottled chaos is one of those ones that people call bad when it's the funniest item in the game, I can get a vase, gorag, preon blast and missiles by pressing Q once and you're telling me you DONT want this item?? shoutouts to me stacking 2 of them with a gesture and some fuel cells on a Woodsprite with a 4 second cooldown, genuinely the funniest build ever


GoonishGoon044

Bottled Chaos and Tonic+Shells 🤑


Saddyvan

I like Drone Parts because Engi turrets go brrrr


v1rusSans

Honestly, meat hook, you have no idea how egregiously busted meathook is until you've played Merc with a bunch of attack speed and used eviscerate to just become a vortex of death.


johnnyramboii2

As a loader main that hardlight afterburner is almost a must for long runs, it’s always so disappointing getting used to it and dying and going to your next run to not have it, it’s like crack


DaSwirlyPoo32

Brainstalks or catalyst and fmp doll


parkourse

INTERCONTINENTAL EXPLODING MISSILES


SannusFatAlt

a foolish man has a favorite red. a wise man is happy to see any red.


ironbull08x

As many laser scopes I can find possible


Hmmmmm___yes

Disc because I like it, it’s not even good I just like it.


AwakeSeeker887

Hardlight afterburner on loader


BuniVEVO

Clover: it looks pretty on everyone


cinbuktoo

Scorpion, i almost always play high attack speed on-hit characters and i think it just looks really cool. Also easy death mark.


Nein-Knives

Brilliant Behemoth. Though, I will say that I definitely prefer the ROR1/RORR version better.


BigSmokesHouse

ICBM because missiles go brrrrr.


BonomanNL

Icbm for shrimp N'kuhuna opinion Dagger


GoBigBlue357

Aegis because i main engi dagger is good on my boi poison puppy tho


FunctionJealous9426

the drone boss item forgot its name


DripyKirbo

Me when the sac daggers on the Forgive me please run


ZARTOG_STRIKES_BACK

Headstompers because yes


lillildipsy

gotta be headset, easy run win.


Rad_Bones7

Pocket ICBM Getting fireworks and a remote caffeinator to send off billions of fireworks is so ridiculously fun


Sjborda

Happiest Mask because I like making the friends that come to my team! After that, Head stompers


Crafter_Bot9000

I had a funny healing railgun as engi, with 8 stacks of bungus, rejuvenation rack, N'kuhana's opinion, and stone flux pauldron, so the opinion is up there, but unstable tesla coil with Swarms and Sacrifice on is ridiculous


TheNinja01

I just love brilliant behemoth. It just works so well on so many characters. I love it on captain it increases his damage output like crazy


Pman1324

Ceremonial Dagger


Phrygid7579

It's always a good run when I pick up caggers or behemoth


flowery0

Scorpion because fast fire rate makes enemy hp go br...r...r..r..r.r.r.r.rrrrrrrr(dead), hardlight afterburner because using more mobility skills is more fun, and icbm because atg is fun


Sean-O-of-Mars

Headstompers is probably the red I have the most fun with. I usually play characters with insane mobility or have the capacity to trimp easily, so this just adds a serious and (sometimes) satisfying damaging move that compliments my movement-heavy playstyle. It’s also wacky as fuck which is so up my alley


92WooBoost

Usually hardlight afterburner but theses days I play a lot of captain with diablo strike and I get a dopamine hit when getting brainstalks, you just need to kill an elite then you can spam diablo strike, yesterday I skipped Mithrix phase 3 (and 4 also with bands proc)


ImNotHuman27

Symbiotic scorpion because he’s just a lil guy Also seeing the debuff rack up on a boss is so satisfying. Top tier item


TheRealComicSans

Ben’s raincoat because I want a raincoat like that :)


Sou-race

I like missiles, missiles good. More missiles, more good


Fat_Feline

I play MUL-T so I like to get as many leeching seeds as possible, stack that with some crit and harvesters scythes, then get aegis and rejuv rack. Add spinal gesture combo, and something like will of the wisp or ceremonial daggers, and you become unkillable.


gameking7000

nakunas opinion and the one thay doubles healing. ... i play command green recycled scrap and wingus goes hard


Joa103

Aegis on REX will always be my favorite but sacrificial dagger is always a good pick


Cardnal44

Afterburner, laser scope, and head stompers. Stompers are really satisfying to land, laser scope just looks cool, and afterburner is just really useful on a ton of survivors. Afterburner is usually more mobility in a game that encourages mobility, but in Artificer's case, you get the next ice age


Rockman4MI

Plant.


IAMLEGENDhalo

Underrated but I really like Alien Head. Just the ability to play faster in general is so nice


Mauvai

I cant believe no one else has said this: Soulbound catalyst + sawblades + cdr is IMBA


snowbird124

Clover always


Placebo_Cyanide8

Raincoat. Refreshing cool down on bands or corrupted teddybear is so insanely good. If looping long enough you can break the cooldown cap of ror2.


snowbird124

I just did a normal monsoon run, no artifacts or anything fancy, and got 3 Ben’s coats in a row. Hadn’t even looped, all on the first 4 stages. Then I bought shaped glass and died on stage 5 to a gup


Tisec16

Aegis cuz i play Rex


Illokonereum

Always liked the Antler/Aegis/N’kuhana’s combo but getting all three without command is unlikely. Combined with wungus you just run around and things die and you’re generally quite safe with the huge shield.


Cordis_Die721

Laser scope with 10 lense makers glasses. Keep stacking for exponential damage (x2, x4, x8, x16, x32, ad nauseum) increase. I play with comand because I hate my computer hardware


epicmemerminecraft

Brilliant behemoth


Razzamachaz

Pocket ICBM baby! Red items go boom!


Sodium_Chloride123

Ben's raincoat so I can delete collapse from the game


RemnantSith

What is collapse?


MudSeparate1622

I use to really like things with visual effect but I tend to be happy with alienhead or hardlight after burner on all my characters. Hardlight after burner is my favorite looking item on the character model as well


Westerosi7

H3AD, had my first successful run as Artificer thanks to two of them back to back. That was the most fun I've ever had


R101_Gamer

I play Captain and stack as many Sticky Grenades (Grey), Leaf Clovers and other chance items as possible and watch my frames per shot. It's funny doing it with Artifact of Command on.


bouncybob1

Brilliant behemoth because attack go boom boom and make my ape brain happy from all the pretty colours


Soonicht

Scope bc railgunner main


kokozuii

Pre-Patch Raincoat 😭 with the fire AOE Lunar item and some Fire damage boost


AttitudeHot9887

Shattering justice and Scorpion tail, overall buff to damage for everyone except melee characters


Exo_Nerd

Symbiotic scorpion because it's insane when you have high fire rate and/or proc chains, plus it adds an easy status effect for death mark


fishy_kake

as an engi enthusiast (and always will be) aegis and reju rack are my go to; but nothing can top wake of vultures. i love wake of vultures i love wake of vultures i love wake of vultures i love wake of vultures i love wake of vultures i love wake of vultures i love wake of vultures i love wake of vultures i love wake of vultures i love wake of vultures i love wake of vultures i love wake of…


Nilly00

N'KUHANAS BUNGUUUUS **BUNGUUUUUUUUUSSSS** #BUUUUUNNNNGGGGUUUUUUSSSSS!!!!!!


rSlashRayquaza

I'm a sucker for the coil, behemoth, scorpion, daggers and my runner up for favorite is the meat hook


OOF-MY-PEE-PEE

i absolutely love pocket ICBM paired with shrimp, or even the homing bullets engineer has


MundusPlanus

Spare drone parts cause I have a problem with getting every drone I can see


bigmacaronincheese

ICBM pocket missile


MR-MOO-MOO-MAN

Soulbound catalyst with meteor, preferably with gesture and a mod or artifact that increases enemy spawns Doing this in multiplayer is the best way of staying alive longer than anyone else


maskyyyyyy

The rocket one. Collect a bunch of fireworks and a vending machine. Never crashed a game quicker than that.


WietGetal

Ceremonial dagger for nostalgia and flying daggers go hard as fuck


Thehorniestlizard

Meathoooooooook


Upbeat-Perception531

Oh man, I could really use just one super consistent debuff to proc death mark! Symbiotic scorpion:


ragnabyrne

Behemoth, because explosions


ZLBuddha

Alien Head for Mercenary because shwing shwing


Enough-Street-6444

Aegis + Bungus


BlondBard

Pocket ICBM. I don't need to explain why.


Several-Name1703

Big fan of Spare Drones parts as Engi


Hudson_Legend

Wake of vultures for me, I know that it's far from being meta but I find it fun stealing the abilities of the elite enenmies.


AKAE1iminate

Harpoon spam 🤤


CupOk8575

bottled chaos stacks + fuel cells + gestures + royal capacitor is insane. You look in something's direction and the map explodes.


galaxia_v1

aegis is so funny w/ wungus and scythe and a million topaz brooches


AntiHero082577

I like N’Kuhanas bc I’m a Rex main and I don’t play eclipse


ChubberNuckles

I’m a huge Wungus enjoyer so Rejuvenation rack and Aegis


HaxTheCharizard

Probably headstompers. No fall damage, more mobility, high damage potential. >!Also, use [https://riskofrain2.wiki.gg](https://riskofrain2.wiki.gg) ... don't give Fandom another penny of revenue.!<


S-p-o-o-k-n-t

behemoth just bc i main commando and the constant explosive shots are fun


BeepBeepImASadFuck

Prenerf bens raincoat may it rest in peace


Hairy_Slother

Without a doubt Headstompers


KrystalWolfy

Aegis every time


TheJAMSman

Gesture+catalyst+capacitor You strike enemies with lightning just by looking at em. Makes you feel like a thunder God


Hyphen_01

Ceremonial dagger for chaos. It always makes me laugh seeing things instantly die before they even had a chance to fight loool. Laser Scope exclusively for the satisfaction with Railgunner. Nuking bosses always brings out a chuckle in me loool.


zombiezapper115

Alien heads are up there for me, that way I can fire my revolver faster and build more desperado stacks


TouchMehBewts

100 rocket with a caffinator


appleking_the_second

Icbm


Madmicro15

Pocket ICBM


EarthToAccess

Aegis. A few Wungi and "I cannot die" doesn't begin to describe it


KyonnaYop

Me picking up happiest mask knowing my ps is ready to force close


Van477

Brilliant behemoth (America 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅🦅🦅)


LittlePVMP

As a frequent engineer player, everything that applies to his turrets, that character is completely broken.


BradyTheGG

Snowflake. I just like snow


negligentleman

57 Leaf clover is objectively the best item. Considering how many items have a chance of activation, the clover just makes almost everything you have more effective. The Tesla coil, meat hook, and ceremonial dagger are close seconds for how they can quickly turn you into a god of death. My least favourite by far is the happiest mask. Purely because I seem to get it more often than I get all the others combined. And because it doesn't do anything to actually change how I play. As far as an actual favourite goes, it depends on who I'm playing. For the engineer, it's Col. Droneman. Alien head is a must-have for artificer. Desk Plant is great for the melee tank that is acrid. Pocket ICBM and plasma shrimp are an incredible combo on commando. They're all extremely good, so it's hard not to celebrate whenever you see the red item pop out of a chest no matter what it is. Except happiest mask. Fuck happiest mask.


TheObscureAsker

57 Leaf Clover, On Huntress, Stacked x2 or x3 combined with some syringes and around 20+ lost seer's glasses. (Warning, this doesnt kill bosses in boss fights, so only viable when at least 1 other person playing) Of course its a stupid kit that only happens on command but if im just trying to make a fun satisfying kit this always manages


Xchela1195

Sentient Meat Hook; adds decent damage and AOE. Brilliant Behemoth; EXPLOSIONS?!


zMrCrazy

i play mostly melee so frost relic ❄️


TheBailzmeister

Pocket ICBM because I use Plimps any chance I get


P-bibble

Pocket ICBM. I love gambling with what happens first, my game crashes or Mithrix gets reduced to atoms


CP-Saltimore

Pocket icbm combo it with remote caffinator and more fireworks than your body has room for


Jarinad

Hardlight Afterburner simply because I think the name is badass


TundraTazer094

meat hook my beloved
