On the 28th of March 2019, the 3D online multiplayer shooter Risk of Rain 2 was released and was a hit. A combination of factors contributed to the game’s success. Whether it was being rated Overwhelmingly Positive on steam or on release day, there was a buy one get one free sale; there was a massive wave of players actively playing the game.
How to Unlock Engineer in Risk of Rain 2
The Engineer is considered the easiest character to achieve. The Engineer is unlocked upon earning the “Engineering Perfection” Achievement. To complete this achievement all you must do is complete 30 stages. The Engineer is equipped with 2 sentry guns so you will need skills such as position to be successful. The Engineer comes with a bubble shield which reflect projectiles outside of the bubble and mines that can attach to enemy creatures and be placed anywhere on the floor.
How to Unlock MUL-T in Risk of Rain 2
MUL-T paired with Engineer are obtained by playing the game. MUL-T is unlocked upon earning the ‘Verified’ Achievement. To complete this achievement all you must do is complete the first stages teleporter event 5 times. MUL-T is a robot that comes with a massive arsenal such as a rapid Auto-Nail gun to a Rebar Sniper used for sniping enemies that can swap out.
How to Unlock Huntress in Risk of Rain 2
Huntress is one of the game’s characters equipped with a bow and a multitude of cool abilities. Huntress is unlocked upon completing the ‘Warrior’ achievement. To complete this achievement, you must reach the 3rd teleporter without dying.
How to Unlock the Artificer in Risk of Rain 2
To unlock the Artificer character in Risk of Rain 2, players must collect 11 Lunar Coins (which can be found randomly dropped by enemies or obtained by obliterating at the Obelisk). Once enough Lunar Coins have been saved, find a Newt Alter (check out the image below for reference); this alter has a chance to spawn randomly on every level. Once found, tap on the alter to spend one Lunar Coin, opening a void portal to the Bizzare, a type of shop. Here, players can pay the remaining 10 Lunar Coins to free the survivor and unlock the Artificer.
How to Unlock REX in Risk of Rain 2
Players unlock REX in Risk of Rain 2 by (step 1) first reaching and completing the fifth teleporter event, also known as the primordial teleporter. Once this is achieved, the next step is to (step 2) activate the blue portal that appears — aka celestial portal— and then (step 3) interact with the obelisk at the bottom. For some reason, a developer decided to name doing this “obliterating yourself” and will end the run and unlock REX!
