Stick with dota.

It's simple. Stop leaving items that you want to keep behind. No more rat problems.

There is no way to safely leave an item behind without the rat stealing it. The rat triggers shortly after leaving the room and will not steal the item if you come back right away. Since you can only hold one active at a time, unless you have a backpack or are playing as the Pilot, I find juggling the items by repeatedly picking them up to be helpful. Ammo, you must pick up or he will steal it. However, he will not steal hearts, armor, or keys; nor will he steal from unopened chests. Not sure about blanks, though.

Shut up you dirty fink rat, nobody disrespects that Resourceful Rat.

If you wait 1 or 2 secs and go back to the room you can suprise him and scare him away, do it like 2 or 3 times and he won't take that item.
This only works with 1 item so if you drop something else he's gonna try to steal that too hence you'll have to scare him away again.

[Space Pope]

Yes

First: Leave the room, go to the next room. This will make the rat spawn after a few seconds. Go back to the room and rush up to him to scare him away.

Second: Now leave the room again, but travel 2 rooms away. This is easy if the room has a teleporter. The rat should spawn again. TP back and scare him away. After the 2nd time he runs away, he will no longer spawn to steal that item.

I'm kind of surprised there isn't an item that keeps him from showing up, even if its just a consumable that only works on one floor or something.

Honestly Dodgeroll should make an active item like poisoned cheese where if you drop it and the rat comes it eats it and dies, even if it's only for one floor.

Actually, I'm fairly certain you CAN'T kill the rat.
Had a run when I was pretty close to an item it tried to steal, when I shot it, it pulled a bubble shield(like the one Not-Link has) and teleported away.

I know this is very old discussion, but to make things clear he does steal armor and he doesn't steal blanks

Craft Ricin. Sarin would be more effective but its not that easy to get to.

[Folded_Phoenix]

actually you technically CAN kill the rat, you just have to go into his lair and then kill the boss resourceful rat.

[easymoneysniper]

If you didn't pick up the item initally i dont see what the fuss is about the rat stealing it, you obviously must have just not needed it
