Risk of Rain 2 is a game where players collect ridiculously powerful item combinations while blasting away at endless waves of enemies; the next update, scheduled for March 31, will bring back the artifact system from the first game.

Artifacts are hidden modifiers to randomly generated levels in Risk of Rain. Artifacts are hidden in randomly generated levels in Risk of Rain, and once found and unlocked, they can be switched on before a run to dramatically change the situation.
