that monsoon skin is easily one of the best and I'm pretty sure is a reference to one of Hopoo's other games that I'm fond of (also I'm pretty sure it's their ONLY other game that isn't ror1 lolol) deadbolt

Can't believe my man Bandito just straight up becomes Reaper from Deadbolt

[valeon]

The classic man is also easy if you get a single crowbar on stage 1 because you can one hit Beatles and lemurians.

Also for sadist, bandit has a passive ability where any hits done to the back of an enemy are guaranteed to crit, so if you can get behind a slow turning enemy you can get it with no crit items at all

[isaacfox]

Sadist: if you have lunar coins to spend just get like 3 or 3 puritys and max crit you can get it by like stage 3 or 4

I got classic man really quick with artifact of soul and artifact of swarm on drizzle. Half health makes them all one shot and with so many on screen you can’t miss. You don’t need to stack crit glasses for the secondary unlock if you use the ocular hud equipment.

DO note that the Desperado buff is only for each stage, meaning that you can finish a stage with 100 Stacks on your R and be on 0 again the next stage.

If you unlocked Desperado on drizzle and want the mastery skin, you can just stack crowbars and ap rounds using command and one shot all three phases of mithrix even on monsoon.

Hitting lights out shots back to back is so satisfying

[borax]

for classic man, all i really did was target wisps wit hit and nothing else for a guaranteed kill until i got the achievement

[probag]

I found a reliable and easy way to do this is:
- Command + Sacrifice
- Go to Void as early as possible to get your 9+ items (spend a coin at the first altar you see to spawn the blue orb)
- Item order: 6 Crit glasses, 6 Goat hooves, 3 Teddies, then stack Will-o-wisps and toss a few Hopoos in there. All other whites go to armor piercing rounds. Grab 2 legendary hammers (one from Void and other from legendary chest/boss stage 5). I took the missile ATG equipment.
This way you can just lazily kill the weakest mob which will set off an explosion chain reaction for the first 5 stages. The bosses will melt because of the rounds.
Come Mithrix time you can kill take each phase down pretty quick. Last phase can get a little dicey if you aren't careful, but 5 hopoo feathers carried me.
Once he's weak and steals you items, he does not do much in the way of damage and very little defense. You can just hack away till the last quarter or less of health and then just spam Light's out.
Also works on captain

easiest way to get skins (imo) is and get beetles on the first stage (just make sure to pick up a topaz brooch)

[ciaranpatrick]

You can also just use the honor artifact to make bosses elites for sadist (extra hp). And purity plus backup mags.

[turbotegs]

Got desperado on accident when first trying out bandit wasn't focusing on any of the upgrades.

[SlammedOnGasoline]

Love how his alt looks like the reaper from deadbolt!

Another strategy for sadist could be to turn on artifact of command and honor (all enemies are elites), find brainstalks (elite kills give you 0 second cooldowns for a while), ocular HUD (100% crit) and a bunch of gestures of the drowned (less cd for the HUD) and just spam the knife at a boss. Did it yesterday and unlocked sadist by stage 5 of the first loop

[Skeletor_]

This will be very helpful whenever the update comes out on console.

[EbonyGerm]

You can easily, and quickly, get Classic Man by using Lights Out on the wisps in the first stage. I got it with in a few minutes. The only criteria for it is getting 15x Lights Out kills in a row, so as long as the mob dies to it, it counts even if you whittle down the mob's health beforehand with your other skills.

[MrLamorso]

Tip for the Sadist achievement: Run drizzle with command artifact, first stack backup magazines until you have 19 and then stack syringes to speed up the dagger attack animation

[conethegamer]

i think monsoon difficulty might be better for the sadist achievement because the enemies are tankier and won't die as fast to the slashes, i got it on stage 4 with a few backup mags, teddy bears (for survivability so i dont get killed while doing this), and a few purities.
