Help! Robot tips? [SOLVED]

[Leurfe]

Hello guys!

I'm trying to beat the robot past and I managed to get to floor 5 at max, I was wondering if anyone of you has any useful tip :)

So far my 2 best runs have been:
1. A run with ♥♥♥♥♥♥ weapon drops but Ser Junkan, he gave up his life only to watch me die to the High Priest
2. A run in which I bought the mega-douser, electrocuted my way to floor 5 and died to an enemy attack I had never seen before (THANK YOU SUPPLY DROP!!!)

Try again

The one thing why I really don't like the Robot is that not only is armor is so hard to come by, but there was wasted item drops (hearts) and makes a handful of items that can benefit health practically useless.

Purchase armor whenever you see it, even if you think you have enough. Look out for Gunknight Armor, Ammo Synthesizer and Nanomachines.

Make extra effort to find secrets, since they're another location you can reliably find armor. Shoot chest rooms and the next stage's elevator room for cracks since they're the most likely places.

Its effect on water-based weapons is the one real advantage the robot has. The Siren, which in another scenario a mediocre weapon, could be your best friend here.

Hardly a spoiler these days especially when they're both featured on the Steam store page banner.

yeah, robot is really hard, i'm trying to get to his past (or even just to kill the dragun once with the robot) myself.
Only thing you can do is try to not get hit that often and pray to the gungeon gods to get some really good chests/drops.
But it'll take time.

Well, for starters if you think you can take on the first alt floor without taking damage you should always do it, it's essentially free money and armor.

Obviously you should always be buying armor if you have the spare cash, but it might be worthwhile to prioritize defensive buffs instead, such as the Armor Synthesizer or a Guon Stone.

Finally just don't give in, but make sure you take breaks if it's frustrating you too much.

I'm no expert though (only just managed it myself) so you can take my advice with a grain of salt if you want.

I hate using the robot so i used the elevator directly to the Fifth chamber with hopes of getting good weapons and it actually worked! so i guess take the elevator and pray that you get 3 decent weapons

[godfather101]

yeah but you only have 1 try, and if you got bad weapons on your first attempt your stuck with them until you beat the dragun with them.
You can try, but if the weapons are bad, you can again try it from the beginning in chamber one.

It doesn't say who is playable, and there was just a major update fairly recently so lot of people including myself just bought the game

[godfather101]

HA, finally a good run and i finished off the robots past in my first try (was not easy only survived with 1 armor left ^^).

Good, now i just have to wait for the Dlc. :D

Both The Bullet and Robot are showed in the picture of the supply drop (which now is the main image of EtG), Robot has always been an achievement (which description says, literally, "Unlock Robot"), and in the main entry of the supply drop one of the features is "Pasts and alternate costumes for both secret characters". I can understand that there are new people coming, but I find it difficult to consider this a spoiler.

Back to the topic, the only thing that can be done with Robot has been said: try to flawless all bosses, look for secret rooms and always buy armor. I would add that I find recommendable to avoid the Oubliette with Robot, as it can be hard if you're not prepared and can be a gamble if you don't get good items. With other characters I use to explore the entire floor; with Robot I think it's better to focus on the chests and go for the boss. Don't waste your energy exploring the entire floor, as every room can be a step closer to death. This is specially recommended on 5th floor: I wouldn't even look for the chests, go for the bullet and straight to the boss.

Because of this, orientation items as maps and compass are really useful.

[godfather101]

Yeah, i had the Gungeon Blueprint in my succesfull Robot run.
Really helped to get the Items from the secret rooms.

Use the shortcut to the fifth floor

Also, compressed air tank is a beast for robot
