Rusted Key

The  is an item in Risk of Rain 2.

Each stage, a Rusty Lockbox spawns for each player holding a Rusted Key. The lockbox's contents are the same as a Large Chest, with an 80% chance to contain an uncommon item and a 20% chance to contain a legendary item. One key is consumed upon opening a lockbox.

Since the item no longer gives ‘infinite’ items, we can also make it a bit stronger and make the lockbox more noticeable.
