Starstorm2

Starstorm 2 is a work-in-progress adaptation of the Risk of Rain 1 mod "Starstorm". It currently features two new survivors, over 20 new items and equipment, and numerous new challenges to shake up your runs.

• Executioner - An aggressive, versatile survivor with an arsenal made for picking off targets and chaining kills. His powerful Ion Manipulators gain charges with every kill.

• ??? - A survivor of unknown origin, familiar yet unfamiliar. Under the right conditions, you may meet him on the Planet, but he certainly won't be on your side.

• New Items & Equipment - A plethora of new items and equipment to support new and existing playstyles. Watch your six with an Armed Backpack, rush through teleporter events with a Field Accelerator, all while keeping on the move with a Swift Skateboard - and more!

• Events - Between severe weather, magical buildups, and mysterious invaders, learn to expect the unexpected as forces both natural and supernatural interfere with your runs.

• Typhoon - The Planet grows restless, with fearsome events and monsters coming in greater numbers than ever before. Unlock new skins for survivors* by proving yourself in this new challenge exceeding even Monsoon! *currently includes Commando, MUL-T, Acrid, Captain, and Commando's Vestige.

• Artifact of Cognation - A new, unlockable artifact to shape up your runs.

• Items
  • All items and equipment have better positioning in the logbook.
  • Relic of Termination now grants double time for bosses and drops the boss's relevant boss item, assuming it has one. The mark now properly works on bosses as well.

• Items
  • Needles no longer spams debug logs, and also now checks that the target is not on the same team as the attacker when applying the debuff.

• General
  • Overhauled Executioner and Nemesis Commando entirely. BE SURE TO RESET YOUR CONFIG.
  • Reimplemented survivor-related unlocks. Executioner is intentionally unlocked by default now.
  • SS2 Survivors have item displays for all base and SOTV items.
  • Added significantly more configs, split into individual files. You can now disable events individually, disable equipments, and items that were lacking in configurable options now have them.
  • Adjusted Typhoon - Now additionally has +25% increased spawn rate and -20% enemy rewards.

  • Reworked Relic of Termination: "Every 30 seconds, gain a buff which marks the next spawning enemy. If defeated in time, they drop an item; if not, they drop nothing and delay the next mark. Marked enemies have significantly increased stats. (Rarity of the dropped item increases with stacks)." Additionally, it has clearer mark VFX.
  • Reworked Needles: "Non-critical strikes add +1% critical chance against the struck enemy. Additional critical chance is cleared after 1 (+1 per stack) critical strikes against them."
  • Reworked Coffee Bag: "Using interactables increases movement speed by 21% and attack speed by 22.5% for up to 15 (+15 per stack) seconds."
  • Reworked Pressurized Cannister: "Grants an upward boost upon activating, and grants a temporary additional jump until landing."
  • Adjusted Detritive Trematode - The debuff no longer expires, but the low health threshold was lowered to 25% for consistency with other "low health" items.
  • Adjusted Droid Head - Spawned drones are now more aggressive and should be less likely to spawn clipping into the ground.
  • Adjusted MIDAS - When given to an equipment drone, the drone now splits the gold it would recieve amongst all players.
  • Adjusted Greater Warbanner - No longer directly gives CDR, but instead makes cooldowns tick faster.
  • Greater Warbanner's buff now has a visual on the player, like Warbanner.
  • Fixed Coffee Bag behaving strangely in multiplayer.
  • Blacklisted Coffee Bag from enemies.
