Risk of Rain 2 – How to Get Defensive Microbots Filled Out in Logbook

Even if you unlock Captain, the item won’t show up in your logbook until you’ve collected it. But how?

Guide to Getting Defensive Microbots

What is it? And how do you get it? And what makes it different from other items in the logbook?

The character Captain receives a passive item called Defensive Microbots.

To access Captain, complete the game on any difficulty setting. Upon starting a new game with Captain, the item is automatically present.

The item is not a collectible, but rather an inherent trait of the character. Therefore, it does not appear in the logbook as a collected item.

So how do I fill it out then?

The only way you can legitimately get it, is to kill your doppleganger (using the Artifact of Vengeance) and hope the item drops. When you kill your doppleganger, it guarantees a drop from the list of items that you have when it spawned in.

If you kill your doppleganger while you are playing as Captain with no other item collected, it guarantees that the Defensive Microbots drop.

Note: Make sure you kill it properly, and not push it off of a cliff. The item doesn’t spawn if that happens.
