Even Better Exponential Items
Even Better Exponential Items overhauls how fast your stacks grow when you pick up items in Risk of Rain 2 — think bigger jumps per pickup (exponential, soft caps, diminishing curves), tuned per item, per category, and with blacklists so movement and proc spam don’t wreck your run.
It keeps the big-number fun while giving you tools to rein in the worst offenders. It changes how many stacks you gain on eligible pickups; vanilla still handles how each stack affects stats unless another mod says otherwise.
Highlights
- Growth styles — exponential, logarithmic, soft cap, hyperbolic, or plain +1-style behavior
- Blacklist & whitelist — use item code names (e.g.
PaulsGoatHoof), not card titles
- Categories — bump or tame whole groups like movement, proc, cooldown
- Unsafe list — softer defaults and optional hard caps on risky items
- Presets — quick vibes (Vanilla+, Chaos, MMO-style, Hardcore, etc.)
- Optional tooltips — extra lines on item descriptions
- Risk of Options — edit many settings in-game (optional)
