The new update for Risk of Rain 2 is now available for players. Patch 1.3.4 was originally announced by Gearbox on Risk of Rain 2's live patch page. This update fixed a lot of the bugs that were present within the game alongside addressing the poorly received Seekers of the Storm DLC and its changes. While this patch brings solutions to a majority of the bugs in the game, there are still some issues present throughout Risk of Rain 2. The developers are aware of this, and plan to continue rolling out patches and fixes on a regular basis to adjust additional bugs within the game.

Some of the highlights of the new update included changes to the way that character builds are compiled. Their behaviors are no longer tied to a player's FPS and should act normally now. Alongside that, an issue with players not being able to pick up items they interact with is now resolved. One of the final major updates includes a change to the boss Mithrix, making it so she is no longer nearly invincible when stealing a player's Warped Echo.

The patch notes for this update also outlined the developer's plans to address the problems with the Seekers of the Storm DLC. At the moment, the devs are working on fixing the major bugs throughout the game. After that, they plan on improving gameplay features to better meet players' expectations with the DLC. Moving forward, the devs are planning to release notes with every update to keep the community aware of which fixes are arriving and when they are expected to be in Risk of Rain 2.

Risk of Rain 2 Patch 1.3.4 Changes

  • When the False Son used Club of the Forsaken (Primary – swing attack) while falling, he could become locked in his ‘diving attack’ state despite colliding with the ground.
  • The shader for the Halcyon Beacons in Gilded Coast would now wrap all the way around the beacon as expected.
  • Upon defeating Mithrix and escaping successfully, connected clients sometimes saw the final kill screen for a moment before the credits played.
  • The sun over Aphelian Sanctuary could sometimes be a tad ‘flashier’ than usual. The sun has been restored to its previous glory.
  • Quitting to the main menu immediately after hosting a four-player run could result in a soft lock
  • Upon defeating The False Son as Heretic, the line that plays in chat was incorrect. That string has been replaced with the intended line.
  • Loader’s Thunderslam (Alt Special – downward slam) and False Son’s diving Club of the Forsaken attack (Primary – swing while falling) both failed to shake the player’s screen when used.
  • Sometimes changing the music audio slider would not actually change anything. We identified two potential causes and resolutions for this issue.
  • In the Loadout tab of the Character Selection Screen, skins would sometimes not display their names when hovered.

Escape a chaotic alien planet by fighting through hordes of frenzied monsters – with your friends, or on your own. Combine loot in surprising ways and master each character until you become the havoc you feared upon your first crash landing.

Over a dozen handcrafted locales await, each packed with challenging monsters and enormous bosses that oppose your continued existence. Fight your way to the final boss and escape or continue your run indefinitely to see just how long you can survive. A unique scaling system means both you and your foes limitlessly increase in power over the course of a game.

Tackle the adventure solo or with up to three friends in online co-op, or compete in the rotating challenge of the Prismatic Trials. Brand new survivors like the Captain and MUL-T join classic survivors such as the Engineer, Huntress, and--of course--the Commando.
