Risk of Rain 2, while it might have Eric swearing a lot he also labelled it "frantic fun"; and the expansion, Survivors of the Void, is the #2 whishlisted DLC on Steam. Well with the release of that expansion around the corner. Hopoo Games and Gearbox are ready to show off the latest character edition incoming with that release: the Railgunner. This new addition is a tactical sniper able to pinpoint enemy weak points with powerful FPS scoped shots. She also can fire barrages of homing bullets for close quarters battles. She utilizes concussion devices to both push herself out of a bad situation as well as scatter grouped enemies for easier sniper shots. And lastly has a special ability, Supercharge, that can wipe out a boss at the cost of leaving her rifle inoperable for five seconds, falling back on the Concussion Devices to stay alive during the cooldown.

Survivors of the Void launches on Steam on March 1st, 2022. The console release of the expansion is also coming in "Q2, 2022." So no firm date there, but we should expect it around then for PS4 and PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and Google Stadia.
