Mounts

A Mount Merchant selling a Monster mount.

The Robotics Facility in Workshop

Mounts are rideable mech suits and monsters that support or boost the player when used during a run.

They are found during gameplay and the mechs can be forged beforehand in the Robotics Facility in the Workshop. When found during a run, they can be hired from the Mount Merchant or Armor Merchant for Gold (with Armor mounts minimum 30 Gold, with regular mounts minimum 15 Gold), with the cost increasing as the player goes to higher levels and can be reduced with the Sale Buff.

Usage

Mounts can be equipped/mounted by interacting with them. The skill button is used to dismount. Hence, the player cannot use the character's skill while using a mount. Certain skills with persisting effects, however, can be used before mounting and will keep functioning even when on the mount.

• It is possible to find another mount even if one is already equipped. In this case, trying to interact with the new mount will change to the new one, while leaving the old mount on the ground.

The player can re-mount at any time except when in a battle. The mount does not take damage while it's unequipped.

All mounts have a separate health bar and will be destroyed when it reaches 0. Upon entering a new level, any mount equipped will restore half of its maximum health rounded down.

• One exception is when the Engineer uses an Armor mount. In this case the mount will always restore to full health. This does not happen with monster mounts, however.
• Having the Pet Buff will cause every mount to have 50% more health.
• When the mount is destroyed, extra damage from the hit that destroyed it will be capped and not passed onto the player. Status Effects are an exception, however.

Types

Monster Mounts

• Monster mounts are rideable monsters and look like the Champion version of that monster, but resized.
• Monster mounts can only be found in a run and cannot be forged.
  • They may be found by breaking a cage or by fishing.
• Monster mounts can be healed by any source of healing the player would usually be able to benefit from while mounted. Players on monster mounts can use their own weapons, though some of them can provide a special attack activated through the extra button.
  • If the player is holding a weapon that can switch modes through the Extra Button such as the Varkolyn Assault Rifle, they will not be able to switch modes, as the Extra Button activates the Mount's attack.
• In Badass Mode, Monster Mounts have 2 extra Health.
  • This extra health is amplified by the Pet Buff.

Armor Mounts

• Armor mounts are rideable mech suits. Most of them come with built-in weapons and players cannot use their own while wielding.
  • However, if the player is carrying assist weapons (like Floating Gun), they will function normally.
  • The only exception is the WiFi Booster - It does not have its own built-in weapons, allowing players to use their own.
  • Some weapons are activated with an extra button.
  • Some of them need to be upgraded by Armor Merchant to unlock a hidden weapon. Upgrading the mount also increases its maximum health by 2.
    • If Engineer uses his skill to summon an Armor mount it will not be able to have any upgrades.
• Armor mounts cannot be repaired other than passing through a portal. However, they tend to have some defense such that they take less damage.
  • Armor mounts will have a green durability bar shown with a chip icon.
  • All Armor mounts have 1 extra defense in Badass Mode.
• Armor mounts can be forged and found in a run. If found during a run, the Armor Merchant will sell the armor for Gold.
  • The only exception is the Dragon Dance Armor, which can also be found in a Special Room ( icon on the minimap) alone during Chinese New Year, and it can be taken freely.
    • It can still be forged or bought during a run if it is developed.
• Armor mounts will add a honeycomb-like overlay on the GUI and its color depends on what armor was equipped. Prototype Armor is green, Iron Fist is orange, Apocalypse is purple, Dragon Dance is pink, WiFi Booster is blue, C5H6O5 is red, Floating 51 and Swift Shuttle Jet are light blue.
  • When the user takes damage, the overlay sometimes flashes red. This always happens if the durability is reduced below half.
• Two of these are already unlocked while the rest have to be developed in the Design Table before forging like the developed weapons. Developing these Armor mounts requires their respective blueprints and gems (aside from Apocalypse, which only requires gems), while forging them requires a variety of materials and gems.
  • Like developed weapons, the player can instantly gain a copy of that Armor mount when it is developed. Afterwards, the player can go to the Robotics Facility to forge it or find it during a run randomly.
