There are 2 main advantages the survivors have to help you defeat the bosses of Risk of Rain 2: Items and Equipment. Items are powerful buffs that can be stacked with no limit to the amount you can hold (though some do have a limit to the effectiveness of their stacks). Equipment will add an additional ability to the survivor. Only one piece of Equipment can be held however (unless you are using MUL-T) so these are usually more powerful, long cool-down abilities.
Below is a list of Items and Equipment available in Risk of Rain 2 and how to unlock them for your runs.
Items are broken up into 3 Rarities:
advertisem*nt
- Common
- Uncommon
- Rare
Some items are unlocked by default while other will require you to complete special challenges to have access to them. There are also a few items only dropped by bosses and some gained by spending lunar coins.
