Orbs

---

Orbs are an important mechanic in Survive The Disasters 2. They work as special enhancements that can be applied to gears and boost their abilities, helping players survive disasters more efficiently.

Information

Orbs can be spun at the Orb Gachapon – a section in the Gear Shop building – for 1,000 for 1 random orb, or 5,000 for 5 random orbs. Another way to earn orbs directly is by defeating bosses with major amounts of health. Upon death, they have a chance to drop orbs - of random tiers and abilities - on the ground, allowing players to freely collect them. The higher health a boss enemy has, the better chance it has to drop more orbs of higher tiers.

After spinning in the Orb Gachapon, or collecting loot from bosses, players may receive random orbs of random tiers (can be seen below), which can be applied to gear in the Menu interface. Players can only add a maximum of three orbs onto a gear item, and there can only be one orb of the same type on gear. There are also certain orbs that only work on specific gear. For example, an Anti-Gravity orb can only be applied to a Gravity or Fusion Coil. Some orbs also do not have all tiers.

There are 5 different orb tiers (or rarities). The better the orb tier, the bigger the impact the orb will have on gear, and the harder it is to obtain it. This means lower percentages in the Orb Gachapon, and harder chances to appear as loot from a boss enemy.

Upgrading Gear

In order to upgrade gear, players must have it equipped. This means it is not possible to apply upgrades while being on Pacifist Mode.

Clicking the Menu button from the left of screen, then clicking on Upgrade Gear allows players to apply their orbs onto their gear, by selecting the item icon from the list on the bottom, then selecting the wanted orb from the list on the right.

Players can also remove an orb from gear by clicking "Delete" next to the orbs applied. This action does not cost any Coins.

Note: Players can't get their orbs back after they have been removed from gear. They must spin again or exchange to get a new one. As a result, they must think and strategize very carefully before upgrading gear.

Combining and Selling Orbs

Clicking the arrow in the Orb Gachapon will take players to another screen where they can combine 3 orbs together to get a better tier of the same orb, or, sell unused and unwanted ones. It is also possible to trade 3 of the same legendary orbs to get a random legendary orb.

If they have enough orbs for two or more trades at once, they earn a Badge, called Two for the Price of One.

Exchanging orbs costs 1,000. Selling orbs gives back to the player different coin payouts based on its tier, described in the table below.

Tier	Sell Value
Common	140
Uncommon	600
Rare	2,500
Epic	5,800
Legendary	20,000

Trivia

• Excluding seasonal gear (such as Pumpkin Bucket), Game Master's Sword, Umbrella and Test Ray Gun are currently the only gear that cannot be upgraded with any type of orbs
  • Game Master's Coil and Game Master's Stars also could not be upgraded before their removal in Version 1.24 and Version 1.30, respectively.
• If an enemy is bloxxed via the Karma orb effect while using a Darkheart, its life-stealing ability will not be applied.
• The Ego Expander orb was previously named as Ego Expander 2400.
• The Faster Bullet orb was previously named Sharp Eyes.
• Prior to Version 1.28, the Critical Aim orb was underpowered as it provided a smaller damage increase when compared to the Damage Boost orb.
  • In the same update, the Damage Boost orb received its own common tier.
• The remaining damage after negation by the Tanker, Flame Tongue, and Bad Breath orbs are equipped is rounded down.
  • For example, if players take -7 damage while having a legendary Tanker Orb equipped, they will only take -5 damage when its exact value is -5.95 damage.
• Most enemies will turn green when afflicted with the Venom Shank orb, although some do not.
• The Bosshunter orb is the rarest orb in the game, as it only has Epic and Legendary tiers.
• In Version 1.35, the Flame Tongue, Quick Dash, Critical Aim and Bosshunter orb stats were tweaked slightly. The new Ringsplosion orb was also implemented. The Arthur's Sword orb was also changed so that large weapons no longer add weight to the user.
• Ringsplosion was renamed to Coinsplosion in Version 39.
• In an X post, Vyriss has stated that there is an unused orb decal (image sprite) in-game meant for use by administrators.
• Donator is the only orb that doesn't provide specific values for its effect.
• As of Version 41.6, orb prices and spin rates were changed. The spin cost was raised from 500 to 1000, while giving players the option to spin 5X at once for 5000 coins. The rates were changed from 80% / 13.25% / 4.5% / 1,5% / 0.75%, to 70% / 20% / 6% / 3% / 1%. Exchange requirements were also changed and now apply to every tier, being 3 the orb quantity requirement.
  • Also during this update, players were given the ability to exchange 3 legendary orbs for a new random legendary orb, as a chance to get wanted orbs in trade of their unwanted ones.
