If you thought things had gone dark for roguelike game Risk of Rain 2, think again. Developer Hopoo Games has unveiled the first of two new survivors inbound with Risk of Rain 2's first expansion pack, dubbed Survivors of the Void. The new survivor is a sniper called the Railgunner, and she'll be available when the DLC launches March 1.
The Railgunner uses the M99 Sniper rifle, which is a unique piece of gear in Risk of Rain 2, as it switches you to a first-person perspective to aim down its high-powered scope. Using the scope, you'll be able to target enemy weak points to cause 1,000% damage and a guaranteed critical strike. Since you'll always get criticals this way, any increased critical hit chance the Railgunner gets from the items you pick up will be converted into increased crit damage.
The M99 also has an active reload bar, similar to the type introduced in Gears of War. If you time your reload perfectly, you'll add another 500% base damage boost. Not bad, right?
