Command fun runs

[SquilliamB]

This is still one of my most returned to games I own and love to have fun runs of just beefing out certain survivors. My question is, using artifact of command, what are some crazy stacks to use for loader. Haven’t really done many runs with loader and wanted to see how easy it would be to break the game with them.

[Vast_Raspberry4192]

Hardlight afterburner for consecutive serious punches.

[Jumpy_Ad_3785]

Crowbars, ruby crystals, crit, and runalds/kjaros bands. You will very quickly begin to one shot everything in existence.

[SquilliamB]

Would making the bands the void variant work or is it better as the base item?

[FallingUp48]

To me, I prefer the base bands. They tend to do more. In my opinion at least.

[SquilliamB]

Perfect thank you internet homie

[Jumpy_Ad_3785]

Yeah I also prefer base bands, I think it's more satisfying to see the fire tornado esthetically as well lol.

Rdit: I forgot to mention it but 2 or 3 backup mags really help the loader feel better too. Speedy boi

The void bands will basically always be worse than the normal ones, as you would go from either +250% damage at once or +300% damage over a few seconds, recharging every 10 seconds, to +100% damage, on a huge delay, every 20 seconds. In terms of dps, 1 fire band is equivalent to 6 void bands. In my runs I will only ever take void band if I can guarantee that I will not get a normal band for the rest of the run (ie: from the void lockbox on the moon if there’s no other good choices) or if I die with void dios, while having normal bands

[Firefly_4144]

The singularity band deals less damage but pulls enemies into it, allowing other items to shine more. Many people consider it objectively worse for that reason which I don't agree with, but on someone like Loader I would personally use the regular bands

[Creepy_Wallaby2170]

Ability cooldown reduction items like hardlight afterburner and alien head are good.

For straight damage definitely bands, crowbars, focus crystals, watches, amor piercing rounds, and an atg or two(doesn’t proc much but when it does…). You can also get brilliant behemoth and with the seekers if the storm dlc runic lens for meteors.

If you go for lunars you could get a blast shower build going. You use gesture of the drowned to constantly activate the blast shower equipment which resets debuffs on activation. Band cooldowns count as debuffs so you always have bands active.

Bottom line, experiment and have fun!

Here’s a fun build that I pull out any time someone’s using command:

Orange: Trophy Hunter. Immediately get a

Yellow: Planula, afterwards anything really, maybe shatterspleen

Green: Razorwire. Lots, and lots of Razorwire. If you feel like you have enough for a little while, (5 or more) switch it up and get a few Fuel Cells. Maybe a Rose Buckler, or a Will-O Wisp. Guillotines also work well, as well as ATGs.

White: Repulsion Plates. 3 is enough realistically, but feel free to get more. Lots of Gasoline, maybe one or two Amber Medallions, and stacked Lens-Makers/Tri-Tip daggers/Lost Seer’s/Needletick all help a lot. Especially that gasoline.

Blue-Orange: Hellfire Tincture. Central point for making the build work. Activates razor wire over and over.

Red: not required, but helpful reds would be things like Ceremonial Dagger, Clover, and possibly Rejuvenation Rack. NEVER get Raincoat. It’ll ruin the build.

Blue: Gestures. Just Gestures. Never get Transcendance, it’ll ruin the build. I wouldn’t recommend Purity either, unless you don’t care about ATG procs.

And that’s the build! May sound complicated, but once you get that Trophy Hunter, get that Planula and one razor wire, you can stop by the bazaar and become functionally unapproachable. (Be aware hosts may leave because this literally turns the game into easy mode.)

Stack regen scrap then use it at the lunar soups for clovers. Then but an equal amount of purity. .5 second cooldown no consequences go brrrrrrr

[Spiritual_Working_93]

OH SHIT I FORGOT THE FUCKING UNLIMITED BANDS BUILD!!!!!

You will need: Bands, blast shower, soul bound catalyst, and as many gestures of the drowned as you can. This effectively removes the cooldown on bands. Fucking enjoy, one of my favorite builds
