Features
Gradius' Option
- A new Red Item added to Risk of Rain 2. Upon receiving this item, all owned drones of the receiver will gain an Option/Multiple for each stack.
- Gradius is known for its feature of Options/Multiples where in these weapons are invulnerable to all damage, and are able to copy the full arsenal of the main ship.
- For this mod, the Options/Multiples will only copy the main attacks of the drone.
- All vanilla minions (both mechanical and organic) are supported.
- All drones from this mod are also supported.
- Options/Multiples are able to duplicate all attacks of Aurelionite. The Rock Turret will attack faster instead of being copied.
- Options/Multiples will only duplicate the ranged attack of Beetle Guards. Their melee attacks will have multiplied damage, however.
- Equipment Drones will use the attached equipment depending on the number of Options/Multiples it has. This is configurable.
- Documentation is available for other mod creators. Check the wiki.
Beam Drone
- A drone powered by this mod's API. Check the wiki on how to add your own custom drone.
- This drone shoots a continuous beam on its target.
- The drone is accurate, however, it is weak at keeping its lock on consistently.
- The drone will appear in Stage 3 and onwards.
- The drone will spawn more in Sky Meadow.
- Options also copy this drone's attacks.
Laser Drone
- A drone powered by this mod's API. Check the wiki.
- The drone charges for a short amount of time, and then unleashes a strong laser attack, dealing huge amount of damage in an AoE.
- The drone will appear in Stage 3 and onwards.
- The drone will spawn more in Sky Meadow.
- Options also copy this drone's attacks.
