..and so they left, growing anew with every step.

Adds REX from Risk of Rain 2 as a playable character.

This mod is a work-in-progress. Various things, including but not limited to online compatibility, Scepter upgrade, number balancing, skins, certain sprites/animations, alternate skills & their respective achievement unlocks, and logbook entry, are missing or incomplete.

If you would like to shower me with unending praise and adulation (or contact me about this mod for any other reason), you can do so using @aka_syntax in the Risk of Rain Returns Modding server.

What's Left

  • Alt. skills & unlocks
  • Redoing old sprites & adding missing animations
  • Online compatibility
  • Logbook entry
  • and probably tons of number fine-tuning

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.
