Risk of Rain 2 - Survivors of the Void DLC

What is Risk of Rain 2 - Survivors of the Void DLC?

Risk of Rain 2 - Survivors of the Void DLC is a downloadable expansion pack created for Risk of Rain 2 and used with the Steam version. Expanding the world of Petrichor V with new Void-themed content, the pack adds playable Survivor characters, stages, enemies, items, equipment, and different gameplay options. This product does not include the base game, and Risk of Rain 2 must be present in your Steam account to use it.

The expansion retains the game's increasingly challenging roguelike structure while adding more variety to runs through new character mechanics and item combinations. Solo players can experiment with new builds, while teams in online co-op can battle Void creatures and threats in the new stages together.

What content does Survivors of the Void add?

The DLC adds two Survivors to the game: Railgunner and Void Fiend. Railgunner offers a precise, long-range playstyle with a first-person scope and powerful shots aimed at weak points. Railgunner is unlocked immediately for expansion owners. Void Fiend switches between controlled and corrupted forms, transforming its abilities; this character must be unlocked by overcoming a new threat.

• Two playable Survivors: Railgunner and Void Fiend offer different movement and damage mechanics.
• Void items: 14 Void items transform their corresponding normal items, changing how existing builds function.
• New equipment and items: Five equipment items, four Lunar items, and 18 standard items support new combinations.
• New environments: Areas such as Aphelian Sanctuary, Sulfur Pools, and Siphoned Forest add variety to exploration routes.
• New enemies and threats: Gup and creatures originating from the Void introduce new challenges involving positioning and target prioritization.
• New game mode: Simulacrum focuses on testing endurance and item builds against waves of enemies.

How it contributes to gameplay and character progression

Survivors of the Void focuses on item synergies created during each run rather than permanent level advantages. Because Void items corrupt normal items, every choice can strengthen an existing build or completely change how it works. This system requires more careful decisions between damage, mobility, healing, and crowd control.

When playing as Railgunner, it is important to use high ground, aim for weak points, and manage reload timing. When playing as Void Fiend, you must monitor the corruption level and switch at the right time between the safety of the controlled form and empowered attacks. In this way, the DLC offers different options for both players who enjoy precision shooting and those who prefer managing resources and ability cycles.

How does online co-op work?

In a co-op lobby, only one player needs to own the expansion for the DLC's monsters, stages, and items to appear during that session. However, players who do not own the pack cannot select Railgunner or Void Fiend or permanently unlock new items, logbook entries, and other expansion content. Players who want to use all content on their own account must activate the DLC on their Steam account.
