On Foot

Learn how to fight on foot in Risk of Rain Returns, including combat options like attacking, using items, changing weapons, fleeing, guarding, and returning to your tank.

Alright, so sometimes you gotta ditch the tank and get your hands dirty! This happens naturally in places like buildings or anywhere with stairs. You might even *choose* to have one character hop out while the others stay in their tanks. Just remember, fighting on foot means you’re way more exposed, so be careful!

When you're not in a tank, you'll see a few options pop up. Here’s the rundown:

Fight: This is your basic attack. Pick this to swing your equipped weapon at an enemy.

Use: This lets you use an item from your inventory. Need to heal up some HP or fix a status problem? This is your go-to. You can also use items to chuck at enemies. Just remember, using an item takes up the character's whole turn.

Arms: This is super handy! If you need to switch weapons mid-battle, select 'Arms'. The best part? It doesn't cost you a turn! You can also swap out a broken 'Protector' (like armor or a shield) without losing your turn either. Definitely keep this in mind if things get dicey.

Flee: Sometimes, discretion is the better part of valor. If you run into a tough 'Wanted' enemy and you're not feeling confident, just select 'Flee'. You can run away from most battles, and it *always* works, so you can live to fight another day. No weird game mechanics where running fails here!

Guard: This is your defensive move. If you select 'Guard', you'll take less damage from enemy attacks. Good for when you need to weather a storm or wait for an opening.

Drive: If you started the battle inside a tank, you can use 'Drive' to hop back in. Super useful if you need that tank protection again.

Quick Reference:

Fight	Flee
Use	Guard
Arms	Drive

Heads up: While the source text mentions specific tank categories like 'Tanks You Can Own' and 'Tanks You Can Rent', those details aren't directly related to the on-foot combat mechanics themselves. Focus on these action options when you're out of the vehicle!
