Lootrun Random event investigation

Several lootrun random events were added in 2.1, but i dont think we know the full compilation of them, if you find something out of the ordinary while lootrunning, be sure to report it in this thread

A lootrun random event is anything out of the ordinary, like drones swarming you or caves changing

 

I’m done lootrunning since no rainbow beacon so you need to rely on cleansing ritual for challenges

 

I just did a warehouse run and in the lime energy room key some enemies called R4TTs appeared. I didn't get a pic but it happened.

 

And with the pirate robot challenge with the commodroid, some Faulty Surveillance mobs spawned that fired lasers at me.

 

Actually I was in haze cave doing a lr and this crack appeared
It was weird bc it didn’t do anything

but then instead of a toxic creeper it was this weird green spider mob (like the one from a journey further) but idk if they just changed that for every haze cave

 

I think they did cuz it happened to me everytime I did haze cave today.

 

They still didn’t fix the haze cave it still makes no sense to me

 

did you walk into the crack

 

Yes

 

Same here, nothing happened.

 

I've gotten 3 mythics from cotl already and i haven't seen any events, am i oblivious or are they pretty rare

 

Hi, I just did a 100 challenge lootrun in COTL

and also didn't see any events. I'm wondering if they're in the COTL lootrun at all?

 

There are, and people have found one

 

bumping this for some extra coverage

 

i had this in corkus

 

Since I've been compiling a bunch of these privately for a while, I figure I'll post the known Silent Expanse ones here (excluding the seven pre-Rekindled ❃ rare mob spawns):

Spoiler

Ruined Olmic City — Between challenges, an Olm NPC named ??? may spawn. When interacted with, it transforms into a level 120 ❃ Form Deceiver rare mob. Appears to be very rare.

Statue Opening — An additional statue will spawn in the cave (indistinguishable from the others) which, when killed, spawns a strong level 105 Granite Steward (it does not drop any Statue Keys, unlike other mobs spawned from the statues). Appears to be fairly common.

Spiteful Crossing — Upon entering the cave, the ceiling will collapse and block the short path through the first room, forcing you to take the long way around. Trying to cross the collapsed path will deal damage and teleport you back to the start.

The Gwanari — Many level 110 Submucous Ulcers may spawn in the outer ring of the cave. Appears to be fairly rare.

The Place Condensed — In the final room of the cave, several tanky level 104 Emergent Templates will gradually spawn.

Eyeball Gauntlet — The amber eye to the right of the cave entrance will open upon entering, giving access to the level 115 Ichorous Eye miniboss (which formerly appeared in All Eyes On Me bef0re being replaced). It drops three "key" eyes.

Toxic Wastes — Between challenges, a hole may open in the ground and teleport you to "The Feedhole", a big cave full of unique mobs. As far as I know only a couple people have ever seen this, so very little info is known. Appears to be extremely rare.

Haze Cave — A fissure will open in the ground in the first room of the cave. Entering it currently has no effect; I think it's probably meant to teleport you straight to the final room, skipping over the waiting portion, but it's been broken since the beta. Appears to be fairly common.

Gateway to Nothing — An assortment of random mobs, many from A Journey Further or the Nameless Anomaly, will be spawned from the objective throughout the event. Appears to always proc, although I believe someone on CT confirmed that it's technically a random event.

Blind Burrow — A blocked passage will open upon entering the cave, with a vertical shortcut connecting the first room to the last room.

Since most SE caves have been given random events, it seems fairly likely that at least some of The Place Coalesced, The Place Conglomerated, Caged Creatures, and Lantern Keeper's Abode have rare events that haven't been discovered (or recorded) yet, if anyone looking would like to focus their efforts.

Also, has anyone been able to confirm the actual proc conditions for the events that trigger between challenges? Do they roll for a chance to occur as soon as you complete a challenge in their subregion, or when you pass through a specific trigger area? It's kinda frustrating not knowing if I've been looking for them the wrong way or if they're just extra rare.

 

this one has like walls appear blocking the cave and you have to defeat spore mobs or smth to continue. theres several walls.

 

I've seen a few in Corkus, and maybe like one in the Sky Islands?

 

I'm not sure if it's a lr specific random event, but in the slay enemies challenge just outside the gate to enter mh from cotl, I've seen fireballs rain down from the nearby volcano a few times.
I'll come back with a screenshot or something if it happens again.

 

this seems to happen in the upper heights near volcanoes (i've had it happen while waiting for Infernal Caldera)
