In today’s Risk of Rain 2 developer live stream, Hopoo Games and Gearbox Publishing shared some enlightening details about the upcoming DLC expansion, Survivors of the Void. There is an abundance of new content on the way, including new levels, items, and monsters. But the most notable additions are the two new characters joining the roster.

And if she hits them, she deals a massive 1,000% damage with a guaranteed Critical Strike. Just so you’re clear, I didn’t accidentally add a zero to that number. The Railgunner can’t randomly crit with her shots. Instead, all Critical Strike Chance she receives from items is converted into more Critical Strike Damage. But that’s not all, if you time the Railgunner’s reload perfectly, you will increase the pace of your shots and deal an extra 500% base damage on your next shot.

The name of the game for the Railgunner in Risk of Rain 2 is long-range combat; you want to keep enemies at bay. Thankfully, she also has a tool for that. The XQR Smart Round System rapidly fires smart rounds at enemies that get too close. She also has Concussion Devices, which are essentially grenades that
