11/5/2023 0 Comments Risk of rain 2 anniversary update![]() Overall, I’ve been more than excited about this update. ![]() You can now browse past runs and all of your account stats like favourite survivors, progress to completion and your favourite equipment in there,… a nice little gimmick that I personally like, especially if you want to try out different builds and compare the damage numbers and stuff later. Apart from that, changes to certain survivors like Acrid and Commando could have been quite great in order to have more fun as those characters and in order to make them more viable and more fun.Īt last, I love the new Profile Stats and Run History (aka “Morgue” and “Account Stats”) menus in the logbook area of the main menu. I really like some of the changes since they really do flesh out the game a lot more, although I would have loved to see more changes to some of the skill variants that people have been using less (like the moving turrets on Engineer or the standard Utility on Commando) since variety is quite lovely, in my eye. They also added new visuals for a lot of items and updated some of the skins and icons, which is quite cool and streamlines the game a bit more, making it fresher. I’m mostly excited about the option to turn off Screen Distortion caused by Spinal Tonic and other effects since people reported motion sickness from it. There are also new challenges and 93 new Lore Entries.Īpart from that, there have been a bunch of changes to enemies and items as well as more quality of life improvements. Speaking of lunar items, you can now also refresh the Lunar items in the Bazar Between Times, utilizing the Lunar Shop Refresher, which is quite cool. Very cool! Looking forward to trying it out a lot more. The two new Lunar Items that got added allow you to transform into the teased character, the Heretic, now: Hooks of Heresy and Essence of Heresy, paired with the other Heretic items turn you into the Heretic, a beefier character that loses health over time but has a unique playstyle, utilizing the four lunar items. The Empathy Cores and the Planula are somewhat situational and could be rather good on some of the characters more than others… the new Charged Perforator is simply amazing on anyone with a high proc coefficient. ![]() There is also a new Elite type (“Perfected”) in the game as well as a new boss enemy, the Grandparent, which basically comes back from the first game… kind of… it apparently has been in RoR2 since the 1.0 update but it didn’t get used until now, so… I love it honestly. The Final Stage got changed and a new monster got added for it. A bunch of characters got balanced or changed a bit. On another note, MUL-T, Loader, and REX received a new Special Variant while the Mercenary and the Captain also received a new Utility skill variant. I have yet to unlock all the abilities but the style and the feel of the character is amazing, although I also think that he’s quite overpowered. The backstab and the serrated dagger are new mechanics introduced in RoR2 over RoR1 but I honestly like it. At last, the special ability, Lights Out, executes enemies and resets all your cooldowns on kill… It’s an interesting character. The Utility skill turns you invisible, makes you move faster and stuns enemies while also granting you bonus damage. His secondary attack is a slash that deals damage and can cause a new effect called “haemorrhaging” on enemies on crits. His primary attacks fire either a shotgun burst or a rifle blast, dealing a lot of damage and reloading after four shells. I personally think that the Bandit is a bit overpowered but I love how they implemented him into the second game, keeping his kit fresh while still staying true to his old playstyle. The Bandit from the first game makes it back into the game. So, for starters, there is a new Survivor in the game. I’m merely talking about the changes that I’m the most excited about! Close your eyes, for the Heretic is here! ![]() You can check out the patch notes over here. Hence, this patch includes both new content and updated old content as well as stuff that didn’t make it into the 1.0 version or that the community suggested over time. It’s been two years since its release but Hopoo Games figured, it’d be a great idea to announce an update of this size now, titling it the Anniversary Update, and rounding out their title, Risk of Rain 2, as a whole to say thanks to all the fans that supported the studio through Early Access. ![]()
