About Railgunner
Beginning March 1, 2022, Railgunner will be accessible to Risk of Rain 2 gamers. Railgunner, as well as additional goods, levels, and monsters, are available for $15. Railgunner is a fast-paced, tactical game that uses a powerful M99 sniper to do massive damage from afar. With an automated “smart round” gadget and Concussion Devices that employ gravity propulsion to throw foes far away, she shields herself from up-close dangers while scoped in (right into sniper range).
Paul Morse, co-founder of Hopoo Games, about Railgunner and Risk of Rain 2:
Risk of Rain has always been about conjuring up the most outlandish scenarios and bringing them to life.
We gave Railgunner an FPS-style scope to push the boundaries of what our game can be, and the result is a dynamic Survivor that we’re convinced will appeal to a wide range of gamers.
Duncan Drummond, another co-founder of Hopoo Games, voiced similar hope for the game’s future
Survivors of the Void is the first expansion for Risk of Rain 2, and it’s jam-packed with fresh content intended to provide gamers new ways to play. Railgunner is just one part of the jigsaw, and there’s much more to come. Simply said, Survivors of the Void will be grander than anything we’ve ever attempted before!
About Risk of Rain 2
Fight against swarms of frantic creatures with your pals or on your lonesome to escape a chaotic alien world. Combine riches in unexpected ways and master each character until you’ve transformed into the devastation you dreaded when you initially crashed.
HOW TO SURVIVE ON AN ALIEN PLANET
Over a dozen handmade locations await you, each filled with hard enemies and massive bosses that are out to stop you from surviving. Fight your way to the ultimate boss and escape, or go on an endless run to see how long you can survive. Because of a unique scaling mechanism, both you and your opponents may gain much more power over the course of a game.
DISCOVER NEW ITEMS THAT ARE EXTREMELY EFFECTIVE
Each run is unique and full of new challenges thanks to the more than 110 things. The more goods you gather, the more their effects interact, and the more shocking some of those interactions become. The more stuff you come across, the more lore (and strategy) you’ll find in the logs.
NEW WAYS TO PLAY ARE NOW AVAILABLE
Unlock a ten-person crew of survivors, each with their own fighting style and various talents to learn.
Toggle gameplay modifications like friendly fire, random survivor spawning, item choices, and more by unlocking the mysteries of the Artifacts. No two runs will ever be the same, thanks to randomized levels, monsters, and items.
PLAY ALONE OR IN A PARTICULAR PARTICULAR PARTICULAR
Take on the journey single or in online co-op with up to three players, or participate in the Prismatic Trials’ rotating challenge. The Captain and MUL-T are brand new survivors, joining traditional survivors like the Engineer, Huntress, and, of course, the Commando.
