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.

- 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.
