Modding

Modding the game is currently possible, but no official support structure for modding exists yet as this game is fairly new. This page serves as an entry into the world of Risk of Rain 2 Modding and installing Mods.

The Console can be accessed by hitting

Installing Mods
Note that both of the methods are not officially supported.

Method 1:
 * Install BepInExPack. The installation is simple. See Guide
 * download mods from Thunderstore and extract the mod(.dll file, sometimes accompanied by something else) to %GAMEFOLDER%/BepInEx/plugins or a subfolder
 * Enjoy!

Method 2: (obsolete)

Mods can be installed by replacing the Assembly_CSharp.dll in the Managed folder of the game itself.

Mods can be found on the Thunderstore.

Before installing mods please consider the following:
 * Please backup your .xml savegame-data ( found under C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\ \632360\remote\UserProfiles\ )
 * Please backup your Assembly-CSharp.dll ( found in the gamefolder\Managed )

General Modding Process
The method here is obsolete and will not be compatible with other mods.

Modding the game is possible by decompiling the Assembly-CSharp.dll, editing it and compiling it again.

Decompiling can be done with the open source tool dnSpy.
