CatchupLoot
A Risk of Rain 2 mod that gives each player their own private command cubes when running with Artifact of Sacrifice and Artifact of Command.
What It Does
- Instance loot: When an enemy dies, every player sees their own local Command Cube. No one can steal your drop.
- Pull items: Press F3 (configurable) to pull all your unpicked cubes to your position.
- Per-player catchup: If a player dies or falls behind on items, the mod gives them a higher chance of bonus drops for their missing tiers — so a player who missed a whole stage isn't permanently screwed.
Why Catchup?
In vanilla multiplayer with Command + Sacrifice, there is only one global drop. If someone dies or is slow, they miss out. Boss items in particular are devastating losses. This mod:
- Gives everyone their own copy of droplet drops
- Tracks each player's inventory per tier (white/green/red/boss)
- Compares everyone to the leading player
- Gives behind players a bonus roll for exactly the tier they're missing
The more you're behind, the higher the chance. But it's never guaranteed — just a nudge.
Tiers & Weights
| Tier | Weight | Example |
|---|---|---|
| White | 1× | Common items |
| Green | 3× | Uncommon items |
| Red | 10× | Legendary items |
| Boss | 15× | Boss items |
Lunar and void items are ignored for catchup scoring.
Catchup Math
For each tier, the mod calculates how many items you're behind the current leader. The bonus roll chance is:
chance = deficit * 5% (capped at 50%)
If the roll succeeds, a separate cube of that exact tier spawns for you at a slightly random offset.
Console Commands
