Brotato: How To Play Co-Op
With the new update, players can join their friends in a co-op mode in Brotato. Here’s how.
The game focuses a lot on progression, with three different methods of in-run progression (leveling up, buying weapons, and buying items). The underlying system surrounding all these mechanics consists of 17 stats that increase and decrease based on different criteria.

13 Best Roguelike Games On The PS5, Ranked
PlayStation 5 players looking to dive into the world of roguelikes have several fantastic options to pick from on the console. Here are the best.
How Does Harvesting Work In Brotato?
Harvesting is an interesting stat. It becomes a little less effective at the latter stages of a run, but it can have a great impact at the start if properly utilized. At the start, getting 20, 30, or even 50 material/XP is a massive boon, considering the amount of material collected during each wave is between 50 and 100. If the player gets their Harvesting stat high enough at the start, they can start raking in the big bucks, letting them progress faster, kill more enemies, and ultimately collect more material for future waves. It creates a positive loop that feeds itself, but it has diminishing returns past wave 10.
If the player opts to go past wave 20 and start endless mode, the harvesting stat starts to decrease instead of increase, ending up with 0 by the 25th wave. If the player gets a negative value for the Harvesting stat, they will lose that amount of XP and material. This loss cannot result in the loss of a level.
How Does Elemental Damage Work In Brotato?
Elemental Damage is one of the few direct damage-affecting stats in the game, making it supremely important for players needing a helping hand when dealing with enemies. It is important to note that this particular brand of damage only affects weapons that have the Elemental tag, such as the Wand, the Icicle, and the Fireball, etc.
Increasing Elemental Damage will directly increase the damage output of all weapons with the Elemental tag. Additionally, if the weapons apply a burn status, the damage done by the burn scales directly with Elemental Damage.
If you don’t have any weapons that have the Elemental tag, it is perfectly safe to take items that reduce the Elemental Damage stat, as the negative numbers from this stat
only have an effect on Elemental weapons
