Risk of Rain 2’s Alloyed Collective DLC Is Blowing Up—Here’s Why

Gearbox shocked fans at PAX East 2025 by announcing the Alloyed Collective DLC, the third major expansion for Risk of Rain 2. This reveal has sparked a wave of excitement across the gaming community, and for good reason. Following the highs of Survivors of the Void and the rocky-but-redeemed Seekers of the Storm, this new DLC promises to dive deeper into the chaotic world of Petrichor V with fresh content and challenges. If you’re a fan of the roguelike shooter, here’s why this announcement is trending everywhere.

What’s New in Alloyed Collective?

The Risk of Rain 2: Alloyed Collective DLC brings a hefty lineup of additions. Players can explore six new stages, each with unique environments like cliffside scrapyards and buried machine caverns. These areas introduce fresh hazards and layouts to keep runs unpredictable. The expansion also adds two new survivors—one returning from the original Risk of Rain and one entirely new. Speculation is running wild about the returning character, with names like HAN-D, Miner, and Enforcer floating around forums. Alongside them, you’ll get seven new drones with customization options, seven new enemies, and 15 new items to shake up your builds.

One feature that’s got everyone talking is the co-op accessibility. Only one player in a lobby needs to own the DLC for the group to access the new stages, enemies, and items. That said, non-owners can’t pick the new survivors or keep unlocks, so it’s still a worthwhile pickup for dedicated players. This design keeps Risk of Rain 2’s multiplayer spirit alive and well.
