Survivors

Survivors are the various playable characters available in Risk of Rain 2, each one has their own abilities. Players start with only the Commando available, and can unlock the rest by accomplishing various Challenges. Survivors are known as such due to the result of a space-bound catastrophe, although in RoR2 the case is revealed by the game's lore to be on a rescue mission aboard the UES Safe Travels, sent to look for the remains of ROR1's UES Contact Light. In this case it's likely the name "Survivor" is used because RoR1 did it, and not because it has significance to the plot of RoR2.

There are currently twelve playable Survivors.
