It’s grapple time
Risk of Rain 2just hit another milestoneon its Steam Early Access roadmap. Today, the co-op roguelike game added the Loader–a returning survivor from the originalRisk of Rain–alongside a new stage (Siren’s Call), character skins, and unlockable skill variants. The update is coming soon to consoles.
After hearing this trailer jam, my mind drifted off to another dimension. I might not come back.
Actually, wait–I need to tell you how to unlock the Loader. She’s attached to the “Guidance Offline” challenge, and to clear it, you’ll need to face the “unique guardian of Siren’s Call.”
There are eggs scattered around the level, and it sure would be a shame if something happened to them. If you’re lucky, you’ll be able to hop right into Siren’s Call by selecting Prismatic Trials from the main menu; otherwise, look for it in the regular rotation. I was reckless and lost. It happens!
The Loader
As for the alternate skills, they’re super enticing, but there’s work involved up-front. you may swap in variants before your run using the newly-added Loadout system, however, you’ll need to unlock them.
As an example, one challenge for my dear sweet Huntress is “One Shot, One Kill,” which requires collecting and carrying 12 crowbars at once because hey, why not? Another, “100% Calculated,” involves the Engineer defeating a teleporter boss within five seconds of it spawning. Have mercy,Risk of Rain 2.
“More skills and skins are planned to be added in future updates,” according to Hopoo.
