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. Only Equipment Drone is the exception.
- 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.
- Documentation is available for other mod creators. Check the wiki.
