Risk of Rain 2: Alloyed Collective

Alloyed Collective is the third major expansion for Risk of Rain 2. Two additional survivors, new regions and an arsenal focused on drones expand the action roguelike. The base game is required.

The new dangers are linked to the Solus machines on Petrichor V. Their areas range from rusted industrial plants to remote canyons. If you complete the new route, you can face an alternative final boss.

Alloyed Collective was released on Nov 18, 2025 for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S. The Nintendo Switch version followed on Feb 5, 2026.

The Switch release date differs significantly from the launch on the other platforms. The later version remains add-on content for Risk of Rain 2 and is not a standalone game.

The expansion is available for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch. Each version requires the matching version of Risk of Rain 2.

A Nintendo Switch 2 version is not automatically confirmed. Backward compatibility is also not the same as a standalone release for a new console.

New enemies, equipment and areas increase the range of possible encounters in Risk of Rain 2. The additional drones in particular open up other ways to control fights and support your build.

The expansion adds seven new levels and one extra variant level. 18 new items expand the existing loot system. Six regular enemy types and several bosses add further dangers.

Alloyed Collective is paid add-on content for Risk of Rain 2. Without the base game, the expansion cannot be launched.

It is available independently of Survivors of the Void, Seekers of the Storm and Hallowed Concepts. If you own several expansions, you can combine their content in the base game.

For the Windows version, Steam lists as minimum requirements an Intel Core i3-6100 or AMD FX-8350, 4 GB RAM, a GeForce GTX 580 or Radeon HD 7870 and 4 GB free storage. DirectX 11 and a 64-bit environment are required.

Recommended: an Intel Core i5-4670K or AMD Ryzen 5 1500X, plus a GeForce GTX 680 or Radeon HD 7970. The older Windows requirements on Steam don’t account for the fact that the Steam client now requires at least Windows 10.

Operator fights mainly through his controlled drones. He can use companions for attacks, healing and movement, and combine several actions while marking targets.

Drifter, by contrast, relies on improvised weapons and loot. Enemies can drop scrap, which it uses for temporary items or direct attacks. The two characters therefore demand different decisions about resources and positioning.

The new locations lead deeper into the Solus facilities. Pretender’s Precipice consists of tangled scrapyards and dangerous differences in height. In Iron Alluvium, paths lead through a dusty mining facility. Conduit Canyon finally requires you to activate energy nodes before the way forward opens.

In addition to seven levels, the expansion includes another variant for later runs. The new areas expand the familiar system of teleporters, random encounters and growing danger.

Seven additional drone types support attack, defence and supply. The Bombardment Drone leaves dangerous zones on the ground, while the Freeze Drone slows enemy groups. The Cleanup Drone converts fallen enemies into resources.

Additional drones can trap enemies, grant protection or mark targets. Dedicated drone shops and a combination station expand the options for using several companions in the same run.

Alloyed Collective adds 18 items with effects for damage, movement and drones. Hiker's Boots reward certain movement actions, while Box of Dynamite makes your own drone fleet more offensive.

Among the six new standard enemies, some directly disrupt your equipment. The Solus Invalidator can temporarily disable items. The Solus Scorcher combines flammable oil with fire attacks.

Two new teleporter boss fights change the intermediate goals of runs. At the end of a new route, Solus Wing waits as an additional final boss.

The alternative ending adds a new path to Risk of Rain 2. To reach it, you have to fight through the new Solus areas.

In multiplayer, it's enough for one person in the lobby to own Alloyed Collective. Then the new areas, enemies and items can appear for everyone in a shared run.

If you don't own the DLC yourself, you can't select Operator or Drifter. New items and logbook entries also can't be permanently unlocked without owning it.

The PC version supports German, English, French, Italian, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, Turkish and Simplified Chinese, among others, for menus and interfaces.

Steam lists full controller support. On PlayStation and Xbox, you control the game with the respective console controllers.
