Chef Buffs, Massive Item Changes, and More! | Risk of Rain 2 v1.3.5 Update

W video

ror2 fans rejoice, gearbox has spoken and are going through with making the SOTS DLC better for the future, so sit back, have faith and consider preparing your kitchen to make some thank you brownies and cookies to ship directly over to gearbox HQ.

I can't wait for these updates! The community still seems oddly pessimistic about this from what I've seen, but like, this is EXACTLY what we've all been asking for; Full transparency on the devs' plans, communication with the community and accepting our feedback, and addressing ALL the issues, not just bugs. The only thing I'd want more than what they've shown here is for them to add a few new enemies to the DLC once all the bugs and balance issues are quashed, maybe that odd "scrapped" Xi construct that was... apparently actually spawning in game in the bulwark's ambry somehow??? Coincidence? I THINK NOT!!!!

*Edit: Oh the construct change got addressed in the video whoopsie poopsie lol

maybe it's time to boot up ror2 again

HOORAY SOCK UPLOAD YIPPEEEE

sale star my beloved

I already had faith in gearbox after the small replies on twitter confirming the patch but now seeing the plans laid out solidly like this and knowing they're very open to total reworks has me so hyped! My guess is that being acquired twice apparently during the dlc's development really messed it up and made them have to rush lots of things, but now they're under less pressure and can make things actually good. Rip major construct though...

Thank you for this video. I would not have know it had even been happening if this vid hadn't happened


Also what was that music in the backyard i think ive heard it somewhere

happy november

Yea, you take that bath

What I've seen of the proposed changes... it looks like things will be bad if not worse.

Twisted Elites being dodgable sounds good, but obviously the dodge-able projectile becomes more deadly. Melee Survivors and Engineer get shutdown by this. You might say time your melee, but when Uku or AtG procs you'll proc the Elite's counter in their face.


A new white tier movement item clogging the white tier, it also gives barrier while making you even faster so the barrier is redundant. This is either going to be a better Goat Hoof making the Hoof clutter or this is clutter. A few movement items are good, but too many leads to problems, if people are not getting enough movement items you should rework item spawning to do something like ensure 1 exists a stage for the first 3 stages.


With the initial version they shown an inability, and with their proposed revision they show the same issues.

thank you snocks for the video!!!!

bath socks bath socks

UPDAAAATTTEEESSSS!!!!!!!
really excited for false son reworks since his moveset is basically my entire playstyle (death laser + hammer go bonk)
the elusive antlers is such a peak item rework already so im wondering what they'll do for the others

we are so back

I have never played Risk of Rain 2 chef out of spite, and i never will unless they give him his legs back

About right for gearbox: release broken content, spend a lot of dev time fixing it instead of having a QA team

im personally fine with gilded elites i just wished you would know when the bubble would appear because when i see a gilded early into my run im always cautious since i actually want to have money for items. my personal fix would be that they let out a pulse 2 or 3 times before the bubble appears

They did listen man thank gearbox thank god

oo! item rework? I've basically been waiting on that to actually get the DLC, some of the stuff seemed nice as hell. I'm glad your video is a little shorter than the other ones only seeing the videos in reccomended just before I gotta leave for lecture.

HOLY SH!T!

They are actually doing it. they actually listen. Is this a full 180?!
Not only wil the new items not suck anymore, but they are considering item bloat! awesome.

im very happy and excited again.

Full overhaul, no holding back is exactly what i want.

I really want alt survivor skills to be added

And people will STILL say that actually devs don't care and are in the wrong. Don't get me wrong, I was a doomer, I cried on launch a few times but the interview with Dee and the responses and everything else gave me so much hope, and finding out that gearbox went through layoff and the dlc suffered a time cut of ATLEAST 2 and a half months felt like such a weight off my shoulders

The Crown’s power will grow

Not a fan of the very clickbaity title. The 1.3.5 update is only bug fixes, nothing else, and everything actually mentioned in the title is yet to actually release.

Can’t wait for seekers of the storm to drop! What do you mean it’s already out? That’s like a beta patch!

cool, but if they wanted to fix it, the existing fixes might bump this 2/10 dlc to a 4 if lucky. In my opinion the dlc would of worked better as a map, item and enemy pack than a sotv copy

Praise be, Gearbox actually fixing their mistakes

honestly, the twisted elite rework i think is going to be awesome. I can already imagine yelling at my friend to not get hit by that big blue orb and then watching them get sent to mars

I can't wait to get one shot by that Twisted elite Spirit Bomb knockoff.
I already had hope for the game because of all the small things the devs said they were working on and everything, but now I'm very hopeful.

now if only they'd done this all in the first place and not left us with a broken game in the meantime

Can’t wait to see more item changes!! And excited for more Socks News Coverage (once she’s out of her shower X3)

i never lost hope, but im glad that i wasnt wrong

Although they were completely understanding, I can’t help but feel bad for the Devs like they spent so long on it and I get it was buggy but like there’s so many videos of what’s wrong with seekers of the storm

the more i read the roadmap the more i was happy. seems like they exactly know the problems we had with the dlc and the way to fix them. (finally gilded elites won't have a stupid amount of health, i swear that's for me one of the best changes). i hope they don't touch too much the false son bossfight. i like it as it is now but for what they said they won't change his attacks
