The Skills 2.0 update arrived on PC in September, and with it came the Siren’s Call stage, skill variants for skill loadout customization, skins, new items, and the Loader survivor, who’s a punching powerhouse.
The Loader may seem like the most exciting addition to Risk of Rain 2 in this update, but the real boon is the inclusion of skill variants.
Risk of Rain 2’s skill variants are unlocked by completing special challenges for a survivor.
The Early Access forecast for Risk of Rain 2 makes mention of a December update including a new survivor, hidden realms, bosses, and items.
