Brotato: Beginner Tips And Tricks

Save Any Fruit

Occasionally, an unappealing green fruit will drop from enemies or trees. These are called Life Fruits and are one of the few methods of self-healing in Brotato aside from the Life Steal and Health Regen stats. It can be tempting to pick these up at full health, but players should avoid them as it will be a waste of resources.

If the player is injured, these Life Fruits will magnetize towards the player's position to heal them. It is best to gather and save these Fruits for emergencies, as they don't provide much healing.

Pay Attention To Characters And Starting Weapons

There are an array of characters to play as in Brotato, with a small handful that players can choose from at the start. New characters can be unlocked by progressing through waves and beating runs but players still have a few options to sift through when just starting out. It's important to study each character (or at the least give each of them a try) to see which one fits the best. What works for one player might not work as well for the next, so it's important to experiment with playstyles. The same goes for weapons, and players should be sure to check out each weapon, looking at its strengths and weaknesses before undergoing a run.

Look For Synergy In Items

There are a lot of random items to be found throughout each run of Brotato but some of them synergize much better than others. New players should be sure to check each item available meticulously and seek out items in the shop that will synergize well with what they already have. While it make not seem like it on the surface, there are quite a few useful combos that can be created by pairing certain items together. Although Brotato seems like a deceptively simple wave survival game from the fringe, it's actually got quite a bit of depth to it and it will reward players who are reading and focusing on each item, stat, and weapon.

Don't Underestimate Turrets or Landmines

If players get turrets or landmines as one of their potential item choices, they should make sure to buy them. Both Turrets and Landmines will randomly spawn at the blue crosses at the start of a wave. Turrets are a bonus weapon in the players' arsenal that can help clear the battlefield. Landmines are also an excellent zoning tool. If players are being chased by a massive group of enemies, they can easily kite them into a landmine.

Aside from the default, which is a useful weapon, there are other variations of the turret available to purchase. For example, a Medical Turret is extremely useful for keeping the player topped up with health if they get into serious trouble.

Pay Attention To Stats

Like most games of this ilk, stats are extremely important in Brotato. Players must pay attention to their stats and what they are building towards with each item upgrade. Some stats are self-explanatory, while others are harder to understand. For example, players may not realize that the Dodge stat gives them a chance to avoid taking some damage, even if they walk through a crowd of enemies. All weapons and items are one of four rarities: black (common), blue (rare), purple (epic), and red (legendary).

Players can increase their stats by looking at the weapons and item keywords in the shop. Each item will have specific positive stats for the player and sometimes a negative modifier to balance it out. Depending on the Brotato they have chosen, the player must consider their combat build carefully. Some characters are built for melee, while others are better with ranged weaponry. Certain stats will either hinder or help them in future waves. Regardless, Speed is always a good stat to maintain distance from rampaging enemies.

Changeable Difficulty

Difficulty elitism is a problem many rogue-like games face. Some gamers that can tackle harder games display degrees of snobbery towards other players who may struggle with difficult games. Luckily, that is not an issue in Brotato. This title features adaptive difficulty adjustments that can be altered to suit players of all calibers.
