The 3D, third-person shooter Risk of Rain 2 has received a new update that implements design changes to the Survivors of the Void DLC. Patch 1.2.2 also comes with plenty of bug fixes.
The Simulacrum is an arena mode that features endless waves of enemies - ranging from normal monsters to elite bosses that require plenty of skill and coordination to beat. That said, the developers have made some notable changes. For one, waves will now spawn more elites, with normal monsters less likely to come up than before. In addition, waves now skip if nothing has spawned for 60 seconds.
Void Seeds, introduced in the Survivors of the Void, are entities found on a stage that creates a dome of purple void fog. The developers admit that they are “chaotic and strange” by design, so they’ve made some tweaks. First, Void Seeds no longer spawn monsters over time. Second, they now have a clearer area indicator. And third, Void Seeds now mark enemies if there are three monsters or less on the map, giving you an indication of how many enemies you need to kill to advance.
