Empathy Cores

The Empathy Cores are an item in Risk of Rain 2. It summons two friendly Solus Probes, one colored red and one colored green. They will attack enemies near the player with a laser beam, and their damage increases with the number of allies the player has.

Trivia

 * This item's name and the "personalities" of the probes it summons may be a reference to the Personality Cores from the Portal series.
 * The colors of the probes resembles that of The Twins boss from the game Terraria.
 * The probes spawned by this item are wrapped in cloth similar to what The Heretic wears, suggesting a possible link between the two.
