Roboquest: Ultimate Items Guide

With 115 items implemented in Roboquest, the average player can easily be overwhelmed by the sheer amount of information and decisions that get thrown at them. Yet the thoughtful use of items is a vital part of progressing as well as finally beating the game.

Therefore, this guide has 4 main purposes:

1. Explain general gameplay features around items to grant new players an easier start into the game.
2. Provide a quick at hand overview to compare your progress in the Museum.
3. Provide a quick at hand reference during a run for an easy read up on terms, desireable items and their prices (e.g., how many Powercells you have to save for the next shop).
4. Aid planners and theorycrafters by providing every relevant group of items with a similar effect. This enables players to compare items immediatly and figure out builds better.

As Roboquest likes to hit you the hardest when you just started out, this guide aims to prevent unnecessary frustration by serving these 4 purposes. The biggest contribution of this work are the 41 groups, both figuratively and literally speaking. This stems from the fact that you cannot display at items from different qualities at the same time in the game, nor view more than one description at a time in the Museum. I’m confident that the high number of groups is still more enjoyable to use than a compacted, pale table or Excel sheet for the same purpose. But ideally, this guide should provide you with any content on items you could ask for.

As this is my first guide, constructive criticism as well as rating this guide is highly appreciated. Given the extent, it is safe to assume that there are still plenty of typos left. Contributing with hints for those or pointing out other errors will not only be cherished, but also mentioned at the end in the chapter “8. Conclusion & Acknowledgements”. After all, my scientific background led me to value the peer review process very high.

This guide is structered as follows:

• Chapter 2 provides a manual for navigating this guide, please read it after this introduction.
• Chapters 3 to 5.1 explain the most important gameplay features involving items as well as every relevant thing to know about them.
• Chapter 5.2 shows the brief overview of the Bazaar (item pages) in the Museum. Use this section to compare your progress.
• Chapter 6 depicts every item with its description, sorted by quality.
• Chapter 7 provides 41 groups of items. Each group consists of three sub-groups showing every item that has either a positive effect on, a negative effect on, or is triggered by the term in the description, respectively.
• Chapter 8 concludes this guide with final thoughts and acknowledgements.
• Chapter 9 states my sources and legal disclaimers.

I highly recommend that you follow up this introduction with the manual in chapter 2 to maneuver through this document effectively. Steam guides are not optimized for such extensive content, but if you follow my recommendations, you can still browse fast through this content.

It is important to not confuse items mentioned in this guide with the distinct “Quest Items” or “Gadgets” in Roboquest. Quest items don’t provide any buff, can only be gathered once and stay in your inventory across runs until you give them to the right NPC. Doing so removes the quest item from your inventory. “Gadgets” are permanent items that are received from completing quests for NPCs and that can be en- or disabled in the Basecamp. This guide neither discusses quest items nor gadgets for the sake of not spoiling the fun gameplay and content behind them. Let me know if you think these topics (or any other) should be part of this work.

No one likes spoilers, so to ensure a spoiler free guide, every information on late game content (e.g., gadgets, discoverable features) will be blacked out like so. If you mouse over the black bar, you can read the text. Additionally, late game content will only be discussed where it is absolutely necessary, to complete the view on the topic of items.

There are a couple of different options for consulting and navigating this guide. Therefore, let me provide brief instructions.

The contents of chapter 3 and 5.1 are self-explanatory, you consult these sections to read up on general information about items.

If you have questions about a gameplay term or are looking for clarification on a confusing item description, chapter 4 will provide you with answers.

If you want to quickly compare your item progress in the Museum, head to chapter 5.2. If you are only interested in a single quality of items, you can go directly to the respective chapter 6. Each overview from chapter 5.2 is depicted there as well.

If you want to read up on a missing item, identifying it so to speak, use the corresponding number in chapter 6. For example, you lack the 5th superior item. You head to “6.2 Superior Items in Detail”. The overview lets you identify the missing item as the Rubber Duck. You then scroll through attached list of superior items till you see the Rubber Duck on the left. Here you find the description of said duck on the right.

Now for the highlight of this guide: Lets assume you ask yourself “Which items increase the firerate of my weapon?”. A reasonable thing to ask when fighting for survival. What you are asking for is the group “XYZ Weapon – Firerate”, to be precise, the sub-group “Positve/Increase”. As you can see on the right, chapter 7 consists of 41 main groups sorted alphabetically (further details on their structure are in the chapter “7. Groups – How to Read Groups”). You could simply scroll through every entry till you find “XYZ Weapon – Firerate”. But that process can be sped up, see below.

When it comes to quickly manoeuvering this guide, you can click on the chapters in the list of contents on the right to jump there, which works great until you reach the 41 groups. The same can be said for using the “Control Find” function, which I highly recommend for chapters 3 to 5.2:
You can search for any specific text by pressing CTRL+F on your keyboard with this function. Doing so opens up a small input window on the top right of the Steam window. Use the attached arrows to jump to every result of your search.

Fig. 1: The input window highlighted by the red arrow.

Those arrows are very handy up to chapter 7, where they won’t bring you far when looking for common phrases. The number of results is just too high to click through every result via the input window.
Instead, after entering a desired word or term, scroll through the list of contents (hold the “Page Down” key or press down on your middle mouse button followed by a down movement) to quickly look for every highlighted example of your word in the chapter title. This will bring you quickly to the right group.

After using this guide a couple times, you will remember the intuitive labes of the groups on your own, which will lead you even faster to your desired entry. Let me know if there are possible improvements for this process!

In case you didn’t know, Valve overhauled the Steam Overlay during a game. To open the overlay, press SHIFT+TAB (by default).

Fig. 2: The opened overlay during the main menu of Roboquest. The guide tab is highlighted by the red arrow.

You can open any guide you wish by using the guide tab at the bottom. The best feature: If you let the guide window open and just close the overlay, Steam will save that window and the exact spot you were viewing. This enables you to quickly consult relevant parts of this guide during a run by simply pressing SHIFT + TAB.
Fig. 3: An example of how you could use this guide in the background. Any time you encounter one of the 5 ambiguous items during a run, you just open the overlay and have the respective section quick at hand.

To have any desired group of items ready at your hand offers a lot of applications: You can easily look up prices to decide how many Powercells to save for the next shop, balance positive and negative effects of items (e.g., deciding which perks to take to counteract a possible 12% armor reduction from an item you hope to collect), figure out which weapons would complement a critical build best and many more. Experiment with this feature to create the overviews you need and enjoy the potential of it.

Equipped with this knowledge, it is time to move on to the real content of this guide.

Items are obtainable, constant buffs or alterations of gameplay aspects. For example, they can increase the firerate of your weapon, lower the cooldown of your abilities or improve the healing you receive. Of course, there are stronger and weaker items, indicated by 4 categories of quality: common, superior, fantastic, and corrupted . Other roguelites (e.g., Slay the Spire, Darkest Dungeon) often use the terms “relics” or “trinkets” to describe their version of what items are in Roboquest. Accordingly, every item in Roboquest lasts only for the duration of your current run – if you get knocked out (or win) you will start your next run with 0 items again. Additionally, there are no duplicates of an item, you can have any item only once in your inventory. This holds true in multiplayer, as everything other than weapons dropped by enemies isn’t shared between players. Because of that, each player can own any item exactly once independent from one another. However, contrary to other games, items in Roboquest cannot be sold, traded or otherwise be removed from your inventory (the only exception “Spare Head” will be discussed in chapter 4). This is especially important with corrupted items that have negative effects attached to them. So please be aware that you can’t get rid of items once you have them. Consequently, there is no limit on how many distinct items you can carry during a run.

Items have four key attributes: The symbol, the name with description, the quality (as mentioned above), and if you purchase one from a vendor, a price. The quality determines the general power of an item and hence the price. To visualize:
Fig. 4: Legend of an item for sale.

Check the prices in the section “How much does an item cost?” below.

You obtain items through two different interactions:
1) Choosing an item as a free reward from a chest.
2) Buying or collecting an item from a friendly NPC. There are 4 cases for this:

• 2A): Buying an item from Bazaar Bob in exchange for the currency Powercells. This requires you to already have the Tier 1 upgrade “Bazaar Bob” in the Workshop purchased.
• 2B) Choosing one of the two fantastic items from Johnny W. on the map “Oasis” without costs.
• 2C) Buying a corrupted item from Heisenbot using Powercells. See below for details.
• 2D) Receiving an item from Lottery Luke in exchange for wrenches. This requires you to already have the highest Tier upgrade “Lottery Luke” in the Workshop purchased.

Option 1 is straight forward. You can only choose one reward from a chest. If you choose an item, it will be added to your inventory for free. Items can spawn in Max’s Chests as well as in corrupted chests.
Fig. 5: Left: Max’s Chest before opening. Right: A corrupted item next to other rewards from a corrupted chest.

Option 2A will only be available once you invest wrenches at the Workshop in the “Bazaar Bob” upgrade. Note that Bazaar Bob is, like every vendor, not guaranteed to show up when you enter a rest site. You can increase the chance of him being there by purchasing the higher Tier “Friendly Circle” upgrades in the Workshop.

Option 2B requires you to find and help Johnny W. on the map “Oasis”. Once you have done that, he will offer you the choice between two fantastic items for free every time you visit the same spot you met him. He doesn’t change locations or maps.

Option 2C requires you to either unlock a door in the map “Energy Center” to be able to trade only at that spot with Heisenbot. Or, if you want to encounter this NPC on other locations, you have to find and beat the map “The Pit” to obtain the red crystal . Doing so will unlock the permanent upgrade in the Workshop on the right side. Again, Heisenbot is, like every vendor, not guaranteed to show up on other locations except behind the mentioned door in the Energy Center.

Option 2D will only be available once you invest wrenches at the Workshop in the “Lottery Luke” upgrade. From then on, you are going to encounter Luke at the rest site at the very start of each map. Rolling his one-armed bandit by paying wrenches has a chance to win you a random item (among a lot of other possible rewards). Every roll increases the cost of the next try by 2 wrenches. The more wrenches you spend during a run, the more it increases the chance for higher quality prizes. Rolling also reduces Lottery Lukes power. If his power is depleted, he will stop his service for the rest of the run.

Bazaar Bob and Heisenbot are fair vendors that always demand the same amount of Powercells for an item. As mentioned above, the quality of an item determines its price:

Common (Green) = 6 Powercells
Superior (Blue) = 8 Powercells
Fantastic (Yellow/Brown) = 12 Powercells
Corrupted (Purple) = 6 Powercells
These colors appear in the background of every item symbol throughout this guide to display quality and price without text.

Lottery Luke starts at 6 wrenches for a roll, although there is no confirmation if it is possible to win an item on the first try. Remember, there is no fixed item reward, so you might spend a lot of wrenches without even winning an item.

Quick info on the currencies:
Fig. 6: Left: A dropped Powercell near a healing-cell. Right: A dropped wrench near a healing-cell.

Powercells (blue) are dropped by enemies and are rewarded for clearing levels with a high rank. They are your currency for buying items and weapons, upgrading weapons as well as re-rolling the affixes on your weapons once you have the respective upgrades at the Workshop. Powercells only last for your current run.
Wrenches (yellow) are dropped by enemies and are permanent across runs to buy upgrades at the Workshop. They are also rewarded for finding hidden data logs scattered across the world. Later on, you gain them also for beating levels on higher difficulties than “Standard”.

Important: Wrenches and Powercells on the ground despawn (just like healing orbs) if you don’t collect them fast enough! Find a balance between fighting enemies from a distance and going in to collect your drops.

That is an entire guide on its own, as it is highly build and playstyle dependent. My recommendation for beginners is to invest in improved healing, reduction of negative status effects and the ability to mark an enemy. All of this can mostly be done without items via abilities, perks and weapons, so try to find a good balance between using these options. Also, with the provided groups below, you can figure out synergies and strong builds on your own, which is part of the fun.
The only two items you should buy/take every time are the Ugly Tie for 10% more boss damage and the Flower Pot to reduce the duration of negative status effects by 50%. Both will pay off heavily in the later maps.

To better understand the stated item descriptions in chapter 6 and onward, it makes sense to explain a couple of confusing gameplay terms. Since Roboquest lacks a glossary in the Museum (some terms are only discussed in the loading screen tips!), I will try my best to clarify potential misconceptions here. Accordingly, the item descriptions in this guide have been cleared from any misspellings I could find. Additionally, missing percentages have been added where necessary to ensure crisp definitions. No other changes were made. Since only 5 of 115 items have a ambiguous definition, I included comments on these at the end of this chapter.
This should get you well underway to grasp all remaining descriptions on your own. Please let me know if you need more detailed or other explanaitions. Every contribution is highly appreciated!

Let’s stary by explaining terms as this lowers the amount of ambiguous items drastically:

Alt-fire is short for alternative firemode. Weapons can spawn with an attachement, e.g., a grenade launcher, which is used by pressing the right mouse button (by default). Scroll to “Rocket Jump” in this section for full example with visual help.

To understand what auto-critical chance is, you need to know how the game handles critical hits: As you probably figured out by now, almost all of the enemies in Roboquest have a red weak spot, either in plain sight or more hidden or shielded. Multiple weak spots on the same enemy are also possible.

Fig. 7: This annoyed Laser Pawn has 3 weak spots, the eye and the tip of every rocket.

Hitting a weak spot causes a critical hit, which deals critical (increased) damage. Different weapons have different critical multipliers. Lets assume the standard critical multiplier of 1.25: This multiplier tells you, that a critical hit with this weapon will deal the regular damage times 1.25. Or, to put it simple, it will deal 25% increased damage. Note that not every weapon can deal critical damage.
Hitting everything else on an enemy is a regular hit, unless you have an automatic critical chance. The auto-crit deals critical damage even if you did not hit a weak spot. A 100% auto-crit chance would translate into every hit being critical, 50% would be a critical hit about every second time you deal damage and so on.

This group consists of every enemy on the first page of the Robo-Zoo in the Museum. In other words, every bot except elites, goliaths and bosses.

Elemental refers to burn (fire), cryo (ice) and shock damage. Everything else, including explosions, is considered non-elemental.

A headbonk refers to jumping on top of an enemy. This will deal damage and inflict high impact. If an enemy receives enough impact, it will be staggered for a couple of seconds.

A marked enemy receives 50% more damage from all sources for 6 seconds. Marks can be caused by weapons, items, skills and perks. You can tell that an enemy is marked by a red cross over its head:

Fig. 8: This Scout Pawn is marked and will meet its end sooner than later.

A pickup is every helpful thing that an enemy drops on death, excluding weapons: Healing-Cells, Powercells, and wrenches. Consult chapter 3 for a more detailed discussion of currencies. A later class can even use a skill to create another pickup, but you should experience that on your own.
Pickup range describes how far away you can be to collect pickups. The bigger the range, the further you can be from the drops to automatically collect them, you attract them.

As long as you have two weapons, the currently not equipped one (the one in your “pocket”) will be reloaded after a short delay. Some firearms have affixes that can reload unequipped weapons earlier by killing an enemy.

This term used to really bother me, as I was reading it frequently when I started out but couldn’t find a definition within the game until later. To spare you the same fate: Weapons can have alternative firemodes (e.g., “Fires an explosive grenade”) after a certain upgrade at the Workshop. One of those alt-fire modes is the Rocket Jump, an explosion around you that propels you into the air. It does count as 1 regular jump:

Fig. 9: A Thumper with the alt-fire mode “Rocket Jump” on it.

Comments in italic:

Pickle Jar – Fully restores your health.
Only once and at the moment of collecting this item.

Candle – Increases burn or and explosion damage by 10%.
It increases both, there is no choice or draw which damage type receives the buff.

Strawberries – Increases critical damage by 20% after dealing critical damage.
As there is no time window, it only works for the next hit. You could read it as “If you inflict two critical hits in a row, the second hit deals 20% increased damage”

Spare Head – Dropping to 0 health restores 30% of your maximum health and destroys this item.
The only item that can be removed from your inventory. This is basically a second life, avoiding the first time you would die during a run. After using the spare head, you are back to one life.

Stone Block – Increases heavy weapon fire rate by 20% and their damage by 20% but increases their speed penalty by 60%.
Heavy weapons reduce your movement speed by 25% while shooting. This item increases the speed penalty by 60% which calculates to 15% (25*0,6). That adds up to a massive total of 40% decreased movement speed while shooting!

Let’s talk briefly about your means to keep track of your items.

Roboquest isn’t upfront with a couple of things, the same goes for finding the description of your items during a run. As you probably noticed, the symbol of each item you own is displayed on the right side of your screen under the minimap at all times:

Fig. 10: Top right of the screen. The red arrow highlights the always visible symbols of your items.

Additionally, you can hold Tab (by default) to bring up the info screen of your run:

Fig. 11: Top right of the screen when holding Tab (by default). Here you find the item tab.

While your skills and upgrades are displayed on the left (not visible in the above picture), the right displays, top to bottom, details about your weapons, class, items, gadgets and data logs. The key here is to use your mouse wheel to scroll through the different categories. The item category (duck symbol) shows the picture as well as the description of all your items. If you pass a certain number of items, a second tab will be created for your new items.

The Museum in your Basecamp (the area you are in before starting a run) keeps track of every item you owned previously under the section “Bazaar”. You can see those overviews completed in chapter 5.2 and 6. But during a run, how can you tell if you owned an item at any point in the past or if one is “undiscovered” and hasn’t been used? The solution is simple: Every undiscovered item you encounter will have a blue “NEW” label on the bottom of the description when looked at:

Fig. 12: The NEW label visible under the Tin Can at Bazaar Bob’s shop.

With that said, it is time to move on to the actual items.

Here is every item page of the Museum completed without descriptions, so you can compare your progress easily and identify whether you lack a singleplayer or multiplayer item.

Now that we looked at every item of a given quality, it makes sense to create groups of items that affect the same gameplay feature. This was my biggest motivation for writing this guide, the need for a short overview of every item that affects armor, another one for reload speed and so on. Here is a brief help to ensure you don’t get lost.

As you can see on the right, the 41 groups are titled as the relevant key word of an item description and are sorted alphabetically. Every group consists of three sub-groups. These groups are determined by their impact on the key word:

1. Positive, increasing effects, written in bold (e.g., “Increases firerate by x %”).
2. Negative, reducing effects, underlined (e.g., Decreases movement speed by x %).
3. Effects that trigger from the key word (e.g., After dealing critical damage, increase firerate by x%) in italic.

This creates a better distinction as Steam guides lack the option for colored text. The items in each sub-group are arranged by their quality, starting with the lowest and ending with the highest (Common – Superior – Fantastic – Corrupted). If multiple items have the same quality, they are sorted by their place in the Museum (first left to right, top to bottom) as in chapters 6.1 to 6.4.

Keep in mind that the background color of an item symbol tells you the quality and hence the price:
Green = Common = 6 Powercells
Blue = Superior = 8 Powercells
Brown = Fantastic = 12 Powercells
Purple = Corrupted = 6 Powercells

Explanation for the general gameplay without Phone Charger: If only one of the two players reaches 0 health, the game continues instead of ending the run. The remaining player can either survive for long enough (around 1 minute) so the downed player can reboot (= revive) themself without aid after the timer reached 0. Or the remaining player presses “Interact” at the downed body long enough to reboot their Brobot earlier than the end of the timer. Both options take half of the remaining players health and transfer it on the revived Brobot.
