Unlock the secrets of tanks in Risk of Rain Returns! This guide answers ten essential questions about tank capacity, SP, chassis, modification, and more.
Q: How Many Tanks Are There?
A: You can own a total of eight tanks and rent fourteen. Access to all tanks requires searching and fulfilling certain conditions for rented ones.
Q: How Do I Drive Tanks?
A: When selecting to drive, your group members enter the tank they are standing on. To reposition characters, use the "Party" command, then "Tank."
Q: How Do I Tow Another Tank?
A: Select "Check" while on top of the tank you want to tow. At least one person must be driving a tank to tow another. To stop towing, select the driving tank and choose "Detach." The "Info Pane" option allows you to view the towed tank's menu and equipped parts.
Q: What is SP?
A: SP stands for SHIELD POINTS. All tanks are defended by armor tiles that determine their SP. Higher SP means better defense but can also increase weight and slow down attacks.
Q: What is the Chassis?
A: The chassis is the core of the tank, identifying the vehicle. While engines, C-Units, and guns can be equipped, the chassis remains constant and has a set number of gun slots.
Q: What Are Slots?
A: Slots are where different guns are mounted on your chassis. Each chassis has pre-existing slots, some of which can be altered or added at a garage for a cost. View available slots via the tank menu: select the tank's name, then STATUS/CHASSIS INFO.
Q: What is Ammo?
A: The Ammo listed on chassis information refers to additional shells the tank can carry. Some tanks start with zero ammo capacity and require chassis modification at a garage to enable shell storage. The Buggy, for example, lacks a Main Gun slot and thus has no ammo capacity until modified.
Q: What is Modification?
A: Modification allows customization of your tanks, affecting ammo capacity, gun ammo, part defense, and C-Unit Hit/Evade percentages. Engine boosts can increase overall load capacity. These modifications are often expensive and not available early in the game. Changes in stats affect the tank's weight.
Q: What is Load?
A: Load refers to the weight a tank can carry, determined by its engine. More expensive engines support greater load capacity, allowing for heavier weapons and armor. Current load is visible in the tank menus.
Q: Where Are the Tank Menus?
A: Two tank menus exist: one accessible from the BSCon (showing all owned tanks) and one from the Main Menu screen (accessible only when driving a tank or when a party member is).
