RiskyMod
A full-game overhaul that aims to bring it closer to RoR1's balance. My main priority is multiplayer, but the mod is balanced in solo as well.
The dream is a universal ruleset that anyone can host, similar to 1's.
I highly recommed installing https://thunderstore.io/package/Moffein/EliteReworks/ to go with this.
Full change list can be found here. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Igxdur0M33fdkcDLYgDEbLE0M4-89gSTorxgdn-oyKs/
This mod merges in fixes and tweaks from a bunch of other mods. If you have those mods installed, these fixes/changes will disable and the original mod will take priority (Except for Bandit Grace Period).
Feel free to take features of this mod and release them as standalone as long as you link the original GitHub repo in the README.
Main Features
- Removed proc chains.
- Made difficulty scaling linear (exponential jump on-loop) and increased spawnrates.
- Oneshot Protection now works as you would expect.
- Oneshot = Going from >90% HP to 0% HP in under 0.5s
- Once triggered, you have to be out of danger (no damage for 7s) before it can be retriggered.
- Shields gate against HP damage like the Guardian's Heart in RoR1.
- Transcendence/Perfected Affix disable Oneshot Protection due to having shieldgating built-in.
- Big balance pass over nearly all the items.
- Bad items like Squid Polyps and Warbanners have gotten substantial buffs.
- Strong damage items like AtGs and Elemental Bands now have lowered damage.
- Most forms of range scaling have been removed.
- Drones performance now remains the same on all stages. (WiP)
Other Changes
- Combat Shrines give less money, but drop items for the team on completion.
- Teleporter radius expands once the boss is dead.
- Tweaked Commencement
- Only 2 pillars are required to activate the jump pads.
- Pillars drop items for the team on completion, and you can complete as many as you want.

Make Survivors more configurable.
-
Make Corpsebloom less bad somehow.
-
Combine Desk Plant with Filial Imprinting.
-
Make Aureleonite/AWU as OP as they were in earlier builds?

More Survivor Tweaks

Enemy Tweaks

- Healing skill only gets used if players are 30m away?
- It's countered with Stuns, but not all characters have access to Stuns.

- Change to be projectile-based since hitscan is ass to fight, especially so on a wide-open map with no cover.
- Tweak stage enemy pools to be more varied.
- Greater Wisps on less stages.
- Remove the Greater Wisp/Bronzong combo since they overlap too much rolewise.
- Beetle Guards on more stages?

- Vultures instead of Lemurians on Stadia Jungle?
- Reduce boss overlap (no Vagrants 4 stages in a row).
- Is this even possible with RoR2's small boss pool?

Changelog
0.5.0
-
Added a ton of Survivor config options for enabling/disabling changes to individual skills to improve compatibility with other mods.
- Some of them may have had their names changed, so check your config after the update.
Let me know if any of these config options are bugged.
-
Game Mechanics
-
Barrier decay now scales linearly based on barrier amount, going from a minimum of 1%/s to 6%/s at max barrier.
Low amounts of Barrier drain too fast to be of any use. This change lets small amounts of Barrier last much longer, so it can actually soak up damage. Holding off on tweaking Barrier items until I can get a feel for how this changes things.
-
Freeze
- Now counts as a debuff. (Credits to SOM for the debuff icon)
- Now can execute bosses at 15% HP.
- This will not put bosses in the Frozen state, but their movement speed will be lowered by 80%.
- Mithrix can still be Frozen, but his Execute threshold is now 15% like other bosses.
Freeze is great against normal enemies, but completely useless against bosses except for Mithrix who can be executed at 30% HP for some reason. This change aims to make Freeze useful at all times, instead of falling off once tons of bosses start spawning when you loop.
-
Shield Gating
- Increased ShieldOnly grace period from 0.3 -> 0.5
- ShieldOnly now ignores the Bypass Shield Gate damagetype.
Transcendence's penalties were too high to be worth taking over the reliable OSP + Shield Gating of normal builds, so these changes should help it at least get somewhat closer to that. Worried the "Ignore Bypass Shield Gate" change will make it an always-take with Glass, but I'd like to wait and see if it's actually an issue first before making any changes to address that.
-
Items
-
Item Tag Changes
- Removed AI Blacklist tag from Old Guillotine.
- Removed on-kill tag for Bison Steak.
- Added on-kill tag to Harvester's Scythe.
-
Enemies
-
Removed passive health regen from Imps, Hermit Crabs, Mini Mushrums, and Lunar Golems.
- Mushrums can still regen via their skill.
-
Beetle
- Increased move speed from 6 -> 8.4
- If Speedy Beetles or some mod that makes them faster is installed, that will take priority over this.
- Reduced attack duration from 1.5s -> 1s
-
Jellyfish
- Changed blast falloff from Linear to SweetSpot.
-
Stone Golem
- Changed Clap falloff from Linear to SweetSpot.
Should this even have falloff in the first place?
-
Brass Contraption
- Stuns now stop them from firing.
-
Greater Wisp
- Changed blast falloff from Linear to SweetSpot.
Not sure if Greater Wisps even need this. Will have to see how it plays.
-
Parent
- Changed ground slam falloff from Linear to SweetSpot.
- Director credit cost lowered from 100 -> 75
Lower credit cost is due to the Anniversary Update changes, which lowered their HP from 900 -> 585 but left their old director credit cost the same. I feel that they are a bit on the weak side still, but I'll address that in a future update if needed.
-
Lunar Wisp
- Can now be affected by Stun/Shock/Freeze.
- Changed Tracking Bomb falloff from Linear to SweetSpot.
- Enabled bullet falloff.
Considering swapping their primary to a rapid burst of tracking bombs since their hitscan is plain unfun to fight.
-
Magma/Overloading Worms no longer die when out of bounds.
-
Beetle Queen
- Spit acid pool is much larger and more threatening.
- Beetlejuice debuff now reduces armor by 5 per stack.
Merging a slightly weaker version of the spit changes from Beetle Queen Plus.
-
Solus Control Unit
- Base damage increased from 15 -> 25
This is the weakest boss in the game. This damage boost makes them able to deal damage on par with the other 800 credit bosses.
-
Alloy Worship Unit
- Base damage increased from 15 -> 25
Damage has been increased since the boss isn't very threatening after getting nerfed in Vanilla some time back. This new damage makes it weaker than the Direseeker, but still a lot more threatening than Vanilla.
-
Commando
-
Tactical Dive
- CDR reduced from 1.5s -> 1s
- Increased roll distance (roll speed now includes the sprint multiplier)
The increased CDR made the skill too focused on cooldown reduction which made Commando obnoxious to play, needing to spam the roll for maximum efficiency. With the new stats, the skill is better at dodging attacks, with the CDR being a small bonus.
-
Artificer
-
(Global Change) Freeze skills can now execute bosses at 15% HP.
-
Secondaries
- Holding down the secondary button will now make the Throw Bomb state always take 0.6s
- Releasing the secondary button will make it use the default attack speed scaled duration.
- Added config option to make each secondary use require its own keypress (disabled by default).
2 options for preventing accidental M2 discharges.
-
Flamethrower
- Added config option to remove sprint canceling (disabled by default).
-
Snapfreeze
-
Napalmthrower (Scepter Flamethrower)
- Now only leaves up to 30 flame pools to prevent crashing. (Can be changed in config)
Goal is to get Artificer to a state where people can play her in MP as a DPS survivor, rather than only being used as a floating Freeze support. Looking to see how the Freeze execute changes affect where she stands before deciding how to handle her M1.
-
Mercenary
- Boosted HP regen from 1.0 -> 2.5 so that it's the same as all other melee characters.
This pretty much just makes it so that Merc can weather through minor chip damage without healing items earlygame.
-
Acrid
- Regenerative
- Heal duration reduced from 2s -> 1.5s
- Heal penalty on hit increased from 30% -> 36%
- Bite heal on kill changed from 1 stack of Regenerative to an instant +8% Max HP heal.
- Shift now has an easier time hitting airborne enemies.
- Epidemic debuff now shows how many stacks are on the target (this is purely a visual change).
With the shorter heal duration, it should be easier for Acrid to receive the full benefit of Regenerative. Heal penalty on hit has been increased slightly to account for this. Bite's heal on kill has been changed so that it's a separate effect from Regenerative.
-
Loader
-
(Global Change) Barrier now decays slower at low amounts.
-
Base Stats
- Reduced health from 160 -> 140
Health is reduced since Barrier changes make it much easier for Loader to build and maintain Barrier. I need to play more runs with this to get a feel for it, so feedback would be appreciated.
-
Fixed Utilities not giving Barrier if Ancient Scepter is installed. (I need to remember to remove this once it's fixed on Scepter's end)
-
Thunder Gauntlet
- Moved zap origin slightly behind the player to improve consistency.
-
M551 Pylon
- Damage reduced from 100% -> 70%
- Now attracts lightweight flying enemies.
- Affects anything that can be pulled by Spiked Fist.
- Enemies launched into the air can be attracted if they are light enough.
- Aiming your big punches upwards can knock Lemurians/Beetles into the Pylon.
Trying to make this skill more than just passive AOE damage. Deals less damage (still enough to reliably kill Wisps), but makes it really good at setting up multikills and can also be used to drag Wisps and other flying enemies to the ground if placed right. Let me know how this feels to use.
-
Thunderslam
- Now knocks flying enemies downwards.
- Now triggers Scrap Barrier.
- Extended collision box so that you can now hit midair enemies without having to land directly on top of them.
I originally was planning a bunch of huge nerfs to Loader's damage + base stats, but ended up scrapping that because it simply made her less fun without actually expanding on her gameplay. Instead of that, Loader is mainly just getting a few minor changes, with the Pylon changes being a leftover from the scrapped balance changes since I feel it's more dynamic compared to the Vanilla Pylon.
-
Bugfixes
- Fixed Raise Level Cap being overwritten by Untitled Difficulty Mod.
- Suppressed OSP debug text.
- Fixed Lights Out's Scepter variant not showing its proper name.
- Fixed Epidemic's Scepter variant not working online.
