1. Tanks Area

Master the Tanks Area in Risk of Rain Returns! Learn about essential upgrades like the Ventilation System and Extinguisher System, and find key items.

Alright, so you've made it to the Tanks Area in Risk of Rain Returns. This spot is super important for gearing up your tanks and finding some handy items. Let's break it down so you don't miss anything.

Ground Floor: When you first enter the garage, you'll find the Memory Center and Hunters Office right on this floor, along with the Tools Store and Parts Store. You'll need to leave your tanks parked for a bit and head upstairs. Talk to the two folks up there; they'll clue you in about some soldiers who've decided to take over a building in town. After that chat, it's time for some scavenging. Check all the cupboards for items. Head back down the ladder and make sure to grab the Neutralising Cream from the fridge. You'll also find Para-Non in one wooden box and a Fire Extinguisher in the other. Keep exploring this floor: walk into the room on the right to find Leather Overalls in a cupboard. Then, pop into the room on the left. Grab the Alkali Wax from the left-hand cupboard and a Repair Kit from the one on the right.

Now, for some crucial tank upgrades. You'll absolutely want to buy the Ventilation System for at least one of your tanks. This is a lifesaver because it stops your driver from nodding off when you run into gas attacks. Once you've got it, head over to the Tools screen for your tank and make sure to switch it ON. An Extinguisher System is also a really good idea. You can use this during battles to put out any flames that might pop up, which can be a real game-changer when you need it most.

Basement 1: If you drive your tank down the ramp to the right as you enter the main tanks area, you'll find the Repair Shop and the Ammo Dealer. Keep an eye out for a Vending Machine too. The guy standing in front of it can give you the lowdown on the mod place if you say 'Yes' when he asks you a question. It's worth checking out!
