you're either the unluckiest person or you might need to verify the game files

just a guess

Enemy spawn rate scales with the difficulty level, which increases over time and jumps a bit when you complete the teleporter event. If your enemy spawns are too slow to farm money on a stage, you should complete the teleporter quickly and wait until a later stage to farm.

You might be seeing some people play with the Artifact activated that doubles enemy spawn.

They could be on a higher starter difficulty, have the artifact active or even be using mods to increase spawn rate. What difficultly level are you on?

Early game just run to the teleporter, grab a couple items on the way if you get the money and it's nearby. Beat the teleporter, grab a couple items if they aren't too far away. Don't bother farming until stage 4 because it has all the good chests. Just run straight to the teleporter and don't complete it until you have the amount of cash you want. Enemies don't spawn fast enough before the teleporter to farm efficiently and they mostly stop spawning after it. Later on when you have fast movement you can just run around the level and farm all the chests but it doesn't really work first loop, you fall too far behind.

That happens a lot, especially on lower difficulties on your first cycle through the levels. you're better off getting a coupel items and then doing the teleporter. grab items near the teleporter and then go to the next level. leveling up quickly and staying ahead of the difficulty curve is better than waiting 5 minutes to get 2 chests.

What difficulty are you playing on? On the earlier stages, there usually aren't too many enemies that spawn to keep you from dying right away. Especially if you're on the easiest difficulty.

Don't wait for enemies to spawn on the 1st or 2nd stage. Get what you can and leave.

It happens. I've had that nonsense happen on all difficulties and with a variety of different artifacts selected. RNGesus can sometimes be merciless.

You should see the stages around 40+. While money is no longer a concern at that point, very few enemies spawn in those stages outside of activating the teleporter, mainly because everything is scavengers. It's strangely bizarre seeing so much chaos to greet you upon enetering a new stage followed by sudden, long periods of relative silence with the odd scavenger here and there.

Artifact of Swarms starts to break as well that far into a run, and doesn't seem to work properly, at least in my experience. I only noticed because of the Artifact of Vengeance, which spawns two dopplegangers while Swarms is actiive, was only spawning one doppleganger. Alongside this, the Challenge of the Mountain wasn't spawning very many enemies either. Actually, I wonder if Artifact of Swarms has something to do with the lack of enemies that deep into the run.
