 * General
 * Final Stage
 * 🌧 The final stage has been redone entirely, with unique objectives and a new, large arena to play in. We won’t spoil it. Please let us know how you feel!
 * Low Health Threshold
 * 20% ⇒ 25%
 * NPC AI
 * All AI now have dramatically improved pathfinding
 * All AI now gets position updates on targets who are invisible only every few seconds, rather than losing the target entirely
 * Minions
 * Drones no longer have resistance to AOE attacks
 * 🌧 All minions now teleport to their owner if they stray past 400m
 * 🌧 All Minions now scale to the ‘ambient level’ of the run Developer’s Notes: The ‘ambient level’ is the level of the run that grows over time. Previously, the enemy team used the ‘ambient level’ to set their level. Now, all enemies AND minions are at ambient level. The result of this is that player minions, like ghosts from Happiest Mask, purchased Drones, and yes - the Squid Polyp - will scale much better over time. This matches drone scaling in RoR1.
 * Survivor
 * Update VFX of Double Tap, Phase Round, and Suppressive Fire
 * Now fires a single bullet per click
 * Bloom Reset Time: 1s ⇒0.7s
 * Damage: 90% ⇒ 100%
 * Duration: 0.2s ⇒ 0.15s
 * Duration: 0.5s ⇒ 0.4s
 * Now deals 40% more damage every time it passes through an enemy
 * Now unlocked by default alongside the Commando! Her previous unlock condition (beat the 3rd stage) now unlocks the Bandit.
 * Both Gauss Auto-Turret and Carbonizer Turret now also inherit your equipment. They won’t activate it, but they will hold it.
 * Grenades now have slight anti-gravity.
 * Tendril Damage: 20% of explosion ⇒ 10% of explosion
 * Tendril Fire Frequency: 0.25s ⇒ 0.125s
 * Tendril Same Target Frequency: 2s ⇒ 1s Developer Notes: This change is made specifically to avoid the Artificer’s Nano-Bomb tendrils proccing Ice and Fire Bands. The tendrils will now fire twice as often, but at half the damage.
 * 🌧 Now has a lingering 0.2s invincibility to help chain together Blinding Assaults in high-latency online games
 * Items
 * Start Delay: 2s ⇒ 1s
 * Now heals at a higher tick rate - overall healing is the same, but the healing is smoother over time
 * 🌧 Now has small visual mushrooms that grow over the area
 * 🌧 Speed Boost: 30% (+20% per stack) ⇒ 25% (+25% per stack) Developer Notes: Mathematically, the Energy Drink was worse than the Goat Hoof for speed after the first pickup, even while sprinting. This change will consistently make Energy Drink stronger when sprinting, and also makes its stacking behavior more consistent. This may make the Energy Drink too strong, but it’ll at least make a bit more sense now.
 * Improve visual effects to be more noticeable
 * Damage Boost: 15% (+15% per stack) ⇒ 20% (+20% per stack)
 * Now shows radius for ‘nearby’ distance
 * Now causes numbers to be pink when active Developer Notes: There are many characters and builds where the Focus Crystal should shine through - however, it never seems to be quite high priority enough for the effort required. We’re hoping that by making it both flashier and stronger, players will prioritize it.
 * 🌧 Now subtly glows and pulses
 * Now grants items at the same rarity as a Large Chest
 * Now spawns a Lockbox per player with a Rusted Key
 * Now consumes a Rusted Key when a lockbox is opened, and requires a Rusted Key to open
 * No longer scales reward chance with the number of Keys in your inventory Developer Notes: People have always been a bit confused about the behavior of the Rusted Key, so we made it make a bit more sense by actually consuming a key to open. 1 Key = 1 Box. Since the item no longer gives ‘infinite’ items, we can also make it a bit stronger and make the lockbox more noticeable.
 * Damage Boost: +50%(+50% per stack) ⇒ +75% (+75% per stack)
 * Improve visual effects to be more noticeable
 * Update pickup text to include the damage threshold Developer Notes: Same reasoning as Focus Crystal - there are many heavy-hitter builds and characters, but Crowbars aren’t prioritized.
 * Now deals 150% base damage on detonation alongside the burn effect
 * Added visual effect when the item procs
 * Replaced ‘Fresh Meat’ item
 * No longer grants regeneration on kill
 * Now grants 25 (+25 per stack) max health
 * Bleed Chance: 15% (+15% per stack) ⇒ 10% (+10% per stack) Developer Notes: Right now, bleed is okay until you can stack it infinitely, in which case it becomes incredibly strong. We want to smooth out the power curve a bit, increasing the number of daggers required for ‘infinite’ bleed to match the number of Glasses required for 100% crit.
 * 🌧 Now activates in all ‘holdout zones’, like Void Fields, and not just during the Teleporter Event
 * Now activates when falling to low health, rather than as a chance when hurt
 * Stealth Duration: 3s (+1.5s per stack) ⇒ 5s
 * Stealth Cooldown: 0s ⇒ 30s (-50% per stack)
 * 🌧 Packs now restocks skills by the amount a full cooldown would
 * 🌧 Packs now also apply to stashed skills, like MUL-T's second primary
 * 🌧 Now details if an interactable is a Barrel, Chest, Drone, Shrine, or something unknown
 * 🌧 Now applies ice slow debuff
 * 🌧 Now has a softer visual
 * Damage Coefficient: 150% ⇒ 300%
 * Radius: 3m (+1.5m per kill) ⇒ 6m (+3m per kill)
 * 🌧 Now calculates damage from distance traveled, not speed on impact Developer Notes: Even though this makes less sense from a physics standpoint, it will align better with player expectations. Super long fall = big boom.
 * Redo firing logic to be more understandable
 * Now grants 1 stacking buff per kill, lasting 5 seconds
 * Now fires the Disk at 4 stacks, resetting all stacks
 * 🌧 Monster Spawn Points: 100 (+100 per stack) ⇒ 40 (+40 per stack) Developer Notes: A single Gouge would spawn way too many monsters. Now, having 1 or 2 Gouges should be a reasonable option.
 * 🌧 Now activates in all ‘holdout zones’, like Void Fields, and not just during the Teleporter Event
 * Limit of deployed Beetle Guards now doubles for Artifact of Swarms
 * Changed summoned Aurelionite pre-stack scaling from current-difficulty-based hp + damage bonuses to leveling up to the ambient level like other summoned characters
 * Summoned Aurelionite attention span: 5s ⇒ 15s Developer Notes: Aurelionite’s raised attention span should make it less likely to get distracted by weaker monsters attacking it so it’s more likely to spend its time fighting stronger monsters.
 * No longer capable of targeting and healing from allies
 * Monster
 * Base Damage: 4 (+0.8 per level) ⇒ 12 (+2.4 per level)
 * Mortar Projectile Count: 3 ⇒ 1
 * Mortar Projectile now has more visible trail Developer Notes: When fighting Hermit Crabs, it’s always been difficult to parse where and how many there are. To help clarify their behavior, we made it clearer so 1 mortar = 1 crab.
 * Health: 900(+270 per level) ⇒ 585 (+176 per level)
 * Update visuals to match closer to RoR1 design
 * Update animations
 * 🌧 Can now be stunned and frozen
 * Health: 1900 (+570 per level) ⇒ 1615 (+485 per level)
 * Twinshot Attack
 * Total Shots: 4 ⇒ 10
 * Damage Coefficient: 2 ⇒ 1
 * Force: 8000 ⇒ 1000
 * Now fires in series, rather than all at once
 * Update visuals to be less noisy
 * Raised the aim origin to be closer to its cannons so it can fire more accurately
 * Tracking Bomb
 * Damage Coefficient: 6 ⇒ 5
 * Speed: 90 m/s ⇒ 60 m/s
 * Update visuals to be less noisy
 * Summon Beetles
 * Beetle Count: 5 ⇒ 2
 * 🌧 Now summons instead of
 * Now properly spawn as elites Developer Notes: Apparently, Scavengers were already spawning as elites - with their health and damage buff - but did not have their elite equipment (Burning, Glacial, etc). Now they will.
 * Added a minimum distance between bombs
 * SPOILERS! Final Boss, Last Phase. SPOILERS!
 * Base Health: 1000 (+300 per level) ⇒ 1400 (+420 per level)
 * Added stagger state triggered by taking high damage
 * Item Steal
 * Now consistently returns items as you deal damage, rather than randomly, i.e if you have him at 50% health, you will have 50% of your items back
 * Now consistently returns items to players in multiplayer in order (1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4) rather than per-player damage
 * Now returns items in the order that you found them, rather than in reverse order
 * Now utilizes
 * Stages
 * Now allows you to reroll shop contents, at the cost of 1/2/4/8… lunar coins
 * Altered stage layout to add more identifiable landmark areas
 * Reduce initial map monster spawns by -24%
 * Health: 900(+270 per level) ⇒ 585 (+176 per level)
 * Update visuals to match closer to RoR1 design
 * Update animations
 * 🌧 Can now be stunned and frozen
 * Health: 1900 (+570 per level) ⇒ 1615 (+485 per level)
 * Twinshot Attack
 * Total Shots: 4 ⇒ 10
 * Damage Coefficient: 2 ⇒ 1
 * Force: 8000 ⇒ 1000
 * Now fires in series, rather than all at once
 * Update visuals to be less noisy
 * Raised the aim origin to be closer to its cannons so it can fire more accurately
 * Tracking Bomb
 * Damage Coefficient: 6 ⇒ 5
 * Speed: 90 m/s ⇒ 60 m/s
 * Update visuals to be less noisy

 * 🌧 Now summons instead of

1.0 Launch Update
This is the fifth major content update for Risk of Rain 2 on PC, marking the 1.0 version of the game. With this update we are focusing on the ending sequence of the game and promoting player agency + build diversity.

This Content Update will be coming to consoles in the near future - for details on how our Content Updates get ported to console versions, check out our previous Development Thoughts here:

 * Added System: Game Ending
 * The game now includes a proper ending, with credits and cutscene.


 * Added System: Server Browser
 * Quickplay served an important function at launch - but the QP featureset is barebones. Not only that, but the game has evolved past needing to just find a match - you need to find the right match. We think a built-in Server Browser (and hosting) will still allow you to connect and find other players easily while also providing a lot of the features and choices you want to make before connecting to a game.

 * General
 * Bleeds now refresh all existing bleed durations on that target. This affects both enemies and players, and is a huge change for how bleeds will work.
 * Increase difficulty rate over time for all difficulties by +10%. Developer Notes: In this update, we’ve buffed a ton of items - and also given players way more agency over the way a run progresses. Our goal is for players to be more engaged with the game - what we don’t want is for the game to be suddenly much easier. This is a bit of a sanity check, and shouldn’t dramatically change the difficulty.
 * Slightly reworked OSP. The goal is to fix inconsistencies and make it actually protect you from one-shots - while also fixing some abuse cases with curse.
 * The threshold for OSP is now displayed on the healthbar with a faint graphic.
 * Now has a lingering 0.1s duration when activated.
 * 🌧 Now is subtracted via Curse (Shaped Glass, Artifact of Glass, etc), i.e a curse of 10% will remove OSP entirely.
 * 🌧 Update OSP logic so it still triggers if you receive multiple sources of damage in the same frame that go past OSP values, i.e Malachite Lesser Wisps


 * Elites
 * Blazing, Overloading, Glacial
 * 🌧Health Bonus: 470% ⇒ 400%
 * Malachite, Celestine
 * 🌧Health Bonus: 2350% ⇒ 1800% Developer Notes: We’ve had a lot of feedback that elite health has always felt a bit bloated - and that subsequently, it makes the Old Guillotine feel required. Our intent is to make characters less reliant on the Old Guillotine, and to make it feel more like an elite hate item - and less of an overall DPS item.
 * Survivors
 * 🌧🌧🌧 Mobility skills are now considered ‘sprinting’, scaling with sprint speed multipliers and also sprinting after use.
 * Melee Survivors
 * 🌧 Melee skills will now perform more consistently at high attack speeds.
 * Melee skills will now scale hitpause duration with attack speed - since the pause when hitting enemies were static, melee characters actually scaled poorly with attack speed.
 * Melee skills will now ‘hold’ you in the air better at high attack speeds.
 * Added a ‘Keyword’ system. Keywords are just words to describe common repeated behavior without explaining it every time. Added the following keywords:
 *  Developer Notes: MUL-T has gotten some love from this patch to really push forward the idea that his weapons are strong in specific roles. Faster swap time and more responsive actions for the weapons will (hopefully) make weapon swapping feel better. We’ve also admittedly creeped cooldowns down over time, and MUL-T felt a bit left behind.
 * Base Acceleration: 25 ⇒ 30
 * Now charges after firing, rather than before.
 * Now behaves like a rocket instead of a grenade
 * Lifetime: 3s ⇒ 4s
 * Explosion Radius: 5m ⇒ 7m
 * Velocity: 70 m/s ⇒ 100 m/s
 * No longer has an initial shotgun of 6 nails.
 * Now has a final shotgun of 12 nails.
 * Now fires in a consistent corkscrew pattern
 * Proc Coefficient: 0.4 ⇒ 0.6
 * Damage: 60% ⇒ 70%
 * Wind-down duration: 0s ⇒ 1.152s
 * Swap duration: 0.7s ⇒ 0.4s
 * Cooldown: 8s ⇒ 6s
 *  Developer Notes: The Mercenary was always supposed to be the highest skill-cap survivor. However, in actual gameplay he became very flow-charty, using abilities directly off cooldown while holding down M1. The intent for all these changes is to allow skill expression, dynamic cooldowns, and higher risk vs reward in fight with the new ‘Exposed’ debuff. The hope is that the character will be stronger for advanced players, but weaker for new players.
 * Base Health: 140 (+42 per level) ⇒ 110 (+33 per level)
 * Base Regeneration: 2.5 health / second ⇒ 1 health / second
 * NEW Debuff:
 * Striking an Exposed target reduces all cooldowns by 1 second and deals an additional +350% base damage
 * Third Strike Damage: 300% ⇒ 130%
 * Third hit now applies ‘Exposed’ debuff
 * The second and third hit of the combo can no longer be started in the middle of other attacks
 * Ground Speed Multiplier: 6 ⇒ 8
 * Cooldown: 7s ⇒ 8s
 * Can now be canceled mid-attack by both Whirlwind and Rising Thunder
 * Last hit now applies ‘Exposed’ debuff
 *  Developer Notes: Acrid has always been a melee-ranged hybrid. We want greater rewards for engaging in melee and completing your M1 combo for players who enjoy a more aggressive playstyle.
 * NEW Buff:
 * Regenerate for 10% health over 0.5 seconds.
 * Third hit of the combo now grants ‘Regenerate’ buff
 * Now grants ‘Regenerate’ buff
 * 🌧Now (properly) stuns
 *  Developer Notes: We want to enforce the Artificer’s role as a high-damage, high AoE character. Nano-Bomb in general was core to the fantasy, but was pretty much inferior to Nano-Spear in every way.
 * Blast Radius: 4m ⇒ 6m
 * Now has slight gravity
 * Blast Radius: 10m ⇒ 14m
 * Blast Damage, Max Charge: 1200% ⇒ 2000%
 * Blast Force: 1300 ⇒ 3000
 * Lifetime: 5s ⇒ 10s
 * Improved FX for clarity
 * No longer has -75% damage falloff at the edge of the blast
 * Items
 * Healing: 8 (+8 per stack) ⇒ 8
 * 🌧Now also heals for 2% (+2% per stack) of maximum health
 * Healing: 24 (+24 per stack) ⇒ 20
 * 🌧Now also heals for 5% (+5% per stack) of maximum health
 * Now properly reduces damage from environmental effects
 * 🌧 Now also places a Warbanner when activating the Teleporter
 * Improve VFX to be less opaque, since it will always be near the Teleporter
 * Debuff Duration: 7s ⇒ 7s (+7s per stack)
 * 🌧Remove text stating that the damage bonus scaled with stacks
 * Execute Threshold: ~20% (+20% per stack) ⇒ 13% (+13% per stack) Developer Notes: Since we’ve re-tuned the health of elites across the board, the Guillotine should be appropriately re-tuned as well.
 * Runald’s/Kjaro’s Band Developer Notes: The two rings have undergone a bit of a rework, working off of an internal cooldown rather than a chance on-hit. We’re hoping that this can help diversify one of our “on-hit” items to be more than just attacking enemies and hoping things activate. We’ve also changed the behavior of Kjaro’s to be more of the AoE option, while Runald’s is the single target option.
 * Proc Chance: 8% ⇒ 100%
 * Now has an internal cooldown of 10 seconds
 * Now has a minimum threshold of only triggering on attacks that deal 400% or greater damage

 * Ice Debuff Duration: 3s ⇒ 3s (+3s per stack)
 * Fire Tornado Damage: 500% (+250% per stack) ⇒ 300% (+300% per stack)
 * Fire Tornado Hitbox Width: 4.8m ⇒ 13m
 * No longer moves
 * Reworked logic for calculating fall speed so it scales better while falling farther. Now has the following behavior:
 * Damage Coefficient: 1000% - 10,000% at maximum speed
 * Explosion Radius: 5m - 100m at maximum speed
 * Improved FX
 * Healing Radius: 3m (+1.5m per stack) ⇒ 5m (+5m per stack)
 * Healing: 5% max health every 1 second ⇒ 5% max health every 0.5 second
 * Now grants true flight and antigravity instead of jump-to-hover.
 * Pressing jump now performs a short dash in the direction of movement with a 0.5s cooldown.
 * No longer puts you in combat
 * Helfire Radius: 10m ⇒ 15m
 * Helfire Duration: 8s ⇒ 12s
 * Improve VFX and SFX
 * Now placed at where you’re aiming, rather than at your feet
 * No longer is consumed on use.
 * Now limited to 5 per map per character.
 * Fire Rate: 0.5s ⇒ 1.6s
 * Damage Coefficient: 100% (+100% per stack) ⇒ 300% (+300% per stack)
 * 🌧Fire Rate now scales with movement speed
 * Stages
 * 3D Printers will appear more often on all stages, ~50% more
 * 3D Printers will cost less to spawn on all stages, ~50% less
 * The new interactable, the Scrapper, can now appear on all stages
 * Titanic Plains
 * 🌧 Update with new visuals to make it depressing

 * 🌧Maximum Blink Distance: 600m ⇒ 300m
 * Now throws Void Spikes in a staggered fashion, rather than all at once
 * 🌧Maximum “Blink” Distance: 600m ⇒ 300m
 * Now considerably more aggressive and better able to hit targets Developer Notes: The blink behavior of both the Imp Overlord and the Magma Worm allows it to follow players between platforms, but it leads a lot of the times to the bosses blinking across the map to attack drones and turrets. While they may still do that, it’ll be a bit less pronounced.
 * Now attempts to lead its Void Bombs in a straight line against its target
 * Updated AI to fire more aggressively and backpedal when its target is too close
 * AI now has 360° vision

 * Fixed potential physics crash that could occur if a character attempts to use a melee attack after crossfading into a new animation from a paused animation

 * All gameplay stats are now forced to update before generating the final run report to make sure all values are up-to-date at the end screen

 * Fixed a variety of other bugs we also probably forgot!


 * There are none, this game is perfect

And… scene. This patch is enormous for us, and we really tried hard - I hope you all like it. As always, we’re listening to feedback and tracking any bugs that we find for 1.0 release. We’ll do a Dev Thoughts later this week to compile everyone’s feedback. See you on the planet.
