The Providence Trials are a featured added to Risk of Rain Returns, giving you the opportunity to expand the abilities of each character. The Providence Trials come with set requirements, and you will need to rise to the challenge of completing them to unlock these skills.
There are Providence Trials for every character in Risk of Rain Returns. Many of them give you access to skills you wouldn’t be able to get otherwise, but there are also cosmetic rewards as well, which are a fun way to show off how much you’ve completed with your favorite character. Here’s everything you need to know about Providence Trials in Risk of Rain Returns.

Every Providence Trial will have a set of requirements, rules, a description of how you complete the trial, displaying the Survivor you use to complete it, and a record to earn a Gold Crown. Unlocking a Providence Trial’s Gold Crown is not a requirement to receive the rewards for completing it. These are more of a goal to give yourself to reach. So long as you’re successful with a Providence Trial, all the rewards will be added to your Risk of Rain Returns profile.
All the details will appear to you in the Providence Trial description tab before you jump into it. After you complete one, the reward will go to you giving you a new set of cosmetics for a specific Survivor or it unlocks a new ability. Now, more trials connected to the one you finished will unlock. Some of them might relate to the Survivor you were playing, or they may appear for other Survivors you’ve unlocked in Risk of Rain Returns.
It is important to note you cannot get Providence Trials for characters you have not unlocked in Risk of Rain Returns. If you’ve finished up every trial for every character, it might be time to jump into the primary game mode to begin working on any Survivors you haven’t added to your roster. Each additional Providence Trial you unlock comes with a new set of challenges, and you may have to work through ones for Survivors you don’t like to find the ones for your favorites.

STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl is drawing ever nearer, and at today’s PC Gaming Show, GSC Game World delivered a new story trailer for the game. The big news, is that the trailer features none other than Strider, a key character from the previous entry in the series, STALKER: Call of Pripyat. We also get a variety of other hints that this isn’t a narrative reboot – this game will be carrying on the story from past games, so make sure your STALKER lore is in order before you jump in.

Equipment is the utility option that further aids your character besides the main skills and some of the best offensive and defensive items in Risk of Rain Returns. You can always carry one equipment at a time, and it can be manually activated, just like skills in the game.
Surviving in Risk of Rain Returns becomes impossible as difficulty scales and stronger enemy types and bosses start to appear and hunt you down. You will need to equip some of the best offensive items in the game to keep clearing stages and continue looping. Weaker items will only weigh you down and get you killed in the long run.
Defeating bosses, looping stages, and acquiring powerful items or the stacks of existing ones are the core gameplay elements in Risk of Rain Returns. Having the best defensive items bolsters your chances of surviving anything the game throws at you, and without these, any build is prone to fail, and your character will die as difficulty spikes.
Survivors are the core gameplay value in Risk of Rain Returns, as each of these 14 characters comes with unique skills offering versatile builds and playstyles. At the same time, you start with two characters, Hunter and Commando; the rest of the roster needs to be unlocked.
Risk of Rain Returns features secret survivors and stages that require players to go the extra mile to unlock them. While each stage in the game houses secrets, items, and Artifacts for the players to find, locating Boar Beach is pure luck.
Risk of Rain Returns is one of the coolest remakes I’ve ever played. It takes everything that was so good about the original and upgrades it. Rather than just being the same game again but with a new lick of paint, it fuses different aspects of Risk of Rain 2 onto the original, shines up the visuals and the music, and even adds in a few new things as well. The result is a game that’s highly replayable and thoroughly enjoyable.
An indie roguelite classic proudly rides again in. Now under the umbrella of Gearbox Entertainment, Hopoo Games’ original came out a full decade ago, back during the burgeoning roguelite renaissance and two years after hit PCs. Like, it proved a crucial hit in the indie space over time, and even perpetuated certain standards and tropes which would find their way into later roguelites, including the studio’s own massively successful sequel. served as an expanded 3D take on its predecessor, but is a formal remake, functionally reinvigorating a ten-year-old essential roguelite while carefully retaining its crucial essence.
The Strange Battery in can be hard to find, but players who manage it will be well rewarded. That being said, its purpose is not immediately obvious, but persistence is the key. Players will have an opportunity to discover the secrets that the Strange Battery is hiding behind its simple veneer.
Risk of Rain Returns is quite familiar with strange and obscure item unlocks across the board, but not all of its features are as weird as the Robomando. Some of them, like the Keycards, are rather straightforward, in fact, and easier to use than you’d think!
There are multiple characters you can unlock as you progress through Risk of Rain Returns. Many of these characters are listed on the main roster screen, but there is a hidden one you can unlock called the Robomando.
