About this mod Author’s original text

Adapts Captain from Risk of Rain 2 to more-or-less fit Returns. (Heavy work-in-progress)

"The Captain is a heavy-hitting zoner who can dampen the chaos of the battlefield, using Orbital Supply Beacons and Defensive Microbots to relieve himself and allies alike. Combining a well-timed Power Tazer shot with Orbital Probe strikes will devastate most crowds with ease, all while your trusty Vulcan Shotgun clears up whatever remains."

Online compatibility not tested (Multiplayer disabled for now).

Features 2 original alt beacon skills and 6 alt skins, 3 unlockable (Judgement included!)

Also includes ModOptions (Check Ingame Settings -> Mods tab for configs!)

Todo

  • More Alt skills! (primary, utility, secondary)
  • Further Balance adjustments
  • Full achievement implementation (currently all beacons are unlocked by default)
  • Multiplayer support
  • Hopefully touch up some spritework and visuals

If you find any issues or bugs please report them to me through discord; @digbugreal

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. Most mods rely on the game's mod loader — the usual route is a community mod manager (such as r2modman): pick this game, install, and it handles the loader and dependencies.
  3. For a manual install, put the mod files into the matching Mod / plugins folder inside the game directory.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; mods with listed dependencies need those installed as well.

Install locations vary a lot between mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide. If the mod depends on a loader such as ReturnOfModding, install it first as the readme describes.
