DronesInheritItems

The Best Risk of Rain 2 Mods (11)

Often when playing alone, but not exclusively, finding an AI-controlled buddy to accompany you is usually a reason to celebrate. Some runs can end up feeling a tad lonely, even with the endless amount of foes breathing down your neck, and refusing help is, after all, foolish. The DronesInheritItems mod actually makes companions like Solus Probes, Aurelionite, Queen Guards, Ghosts, and Squid Turrets even better, by letting them take advantage of the items in your inventory. On top of that, there’s even an option to generate items for them, if you dabble in the config files. Get it from Thunderstore.io.
