##### Other Updates:

These changes are for all versions of Risk of Rain 2 and are not dependent on owning Alloyed Collective!

- Remote Operation Added - When you die in multiplayer you can take control of an Ally Drone until you are revived by stage transition (or by other means such as Seeker’s Meditate.)

- Drone AI has been significantly improved making them focus fire on your target & follow you closely when not attacking. They have also had their base health regen increased & now have damage reduction against Void Fog & Grandparent's AOE attack.

- The TC-280 Prototype, along with the above benefits, has also had its damage, armor & health increased.

- Drones are now 33% cheaper to repair when destroyed.

- Strike Drones (summoned from The Back-up equipment) now scale with level like the other Drones, as well as having their speed and regen increased.

- Survivors of the Void Item “Spare Drone Parts” stats reduced by 50%

_Developer Note: Spare Drone Parts (SDP) was initially balanced around the fact that drones used to be pretty ineffective combat allies - even so SDP was considered to be one of the strongest items in the game. With the new drones, increased drone acquisition and new drone AI in DLC3, SDP would essentially play the game for you and almost always guarantee a (pretty boring) win, so we have decided to reduce its effectiveness by 50% - **SDP is still an extremely powerful item** and we’ll keep a close eye on community feedback and sentiment regarding this change._

- Barrier now decays exponentially rather than flat, meaning the lower the amount of Barrier you have, the slower it will tick down.

_Community Manager note: Aegis buff in the big ‘25 wtf??_

- Chests and Printers now use their previous ping icon.

- Reduced the spawn cost of Shrine of Shaping to lessen the impact it has on spawning other interactables on the stage.

- Reduced the spawn cost of Geeps and Gips so they should be more common on the stages they naturally spawn on.

- Void Seeds can no longer spawn Voidtouched Solus Monsters.

##### Bug Fixes

- CHEF’s returning cleavers no longer have a higher than intended proc rate (but Boosted / Yes Chef Cleavers have retained the higher proc rate.)

- Fixed rare issue where stages could infinitely repeat.

- You will now be able to obtain the Treeborn Colony/Golden Dieback log if you have already obtained the Aphelian Sanctuary log.

- The audio for THE FINAL BOSS’S pizza attack is now properly synced.

- Xi Construct mega laser will now correctly cause an explosion when it ends.

- Re-added dithering to characters when very close to the camera.

- Artificer’s Nano-Spear will no longer push enemies around.

- Mercenary no longer sometimes takes fall damage when using Whirlwind.

- Scrappers now play correct audio (and not only when MUL-T is in the session.)

- Added missing Void Item drop sound.

- Added missing Royal Capacitor and Charged Perforator sound.

- H3AD-5T v2 is no longer able to multiply velocity in unintended ways (such as pressing jump on a Geyser launching you into the sky.)

- Elite On Death effects now occur when Ghosts from Happiest Mask expire.

- War Bond Missiles now “cost” the correct amount of gold.

- Alpha Constructs from Defense Nucleus now use the proper skin.
