Risk of Rain 2 hit Steam yesterday, and people have already figured out how to unlock all the characters in a very cheeky way. Now, all the characters have their little challenges to unlock them, but while the rest of us were working hard, someone out there was working smart. This appears to be a legacy issue from the original Risk of Rain, which was a pretty well-documented way to unlock things in the game. If the developers haven’t closed the loophole between that game and this one, perhaps this isn’t something they have an issue with?
Unlock All Characters Cheat
First things first, make sure you are not running Risk of Rain 2. Now, navigate to the Steam folder in your program files. From there, go to User Data. There should only be one folder in here, that corresponds to your User ID. Click on it, then go to folder 632360. Now go into the Remote folder and then the User Profiles folder. In here should be a single XML document. Back this up by creating a copy of it on your Desktop, just in case anything goes wrong.
Now, open the XML file using Notepad, then scroll all the way to the bottom. Once you have already played the game and unlocked an item, it should be straightforward to see where the Unlocks are recorded. You will see lines of code that start with <unlock>.
Risk of Rain 2 Unlocks five characters that players can use. They are MUL-T,.

Now, what you want to do is copy one of the below lines of code in for each character you don’t yet have unlocked. In this instance, “Toolbot” is for MUL-T, and “Mage” is for the Artificer.
- <unlock>Characters.Huntress</unlock>
- <unlock>Characters.Engineer</unlock>
- <unlock>Characters.Mercenary</unlock>
- <unlock>Characters.Mage</unlock>
- <unlock>Characters.Toolbot</unlock>
- <unlock>Characters.Loader</unlock>
- <unlock>Characters.Treebot</unlock>
- <unlock>Characters.Croco</unlock>
As long as you insert the lines of code between the last <stat name> line, and </stats>, everything should work just fine.
Now, save the file, start up the game, and the characters should be unlocked for you. Obviously, this is not what the developers intended, and the usual caveats about cheating being bad manners apply.
How to Unlock Locked Playable Characters in Risk of Rain 2
Quick guide to unlocking the first set of locked playable characters.
Artificer
Complete the achievement Pause by spending 10 Lunar Coins at the Bizarre Between Time to release the character from suspension.
Lunar Coins are a persistent (not lost on death) currency dropped at random by enemies and the Bizarre is accessed either by a random blue portal spawn or by spending a Lunar Coin at a Newt Statue. Once inside the Bizarre spend the 10 coins at the crystal beside the Newt that contains the character.
If spawning the blue portal through statue interaction rather than random chance you must have at least 11 Lunar Coins (1 to spawn the portal, and 10 to unlock the character).
Artificer Skills
Engineer
Complete the achievement Engineering Perfect by completing 30 stages.
Complete 30 stages in total; these stages do not need to be done in any specific manner or in the same run.
Engineer Skills
Huntress
Complete the Warrior achievement by clearing 3 stages without dying.
Simply put- get through 3 maps without dying (through the main teleporter, not a blue portal).
Huntress Skills
MUL-T
Complete the Verified achievement by completing the first stage 5 times.
To further clarify, in five separate runs complete the first stage event by going through the teleporter.
MUL-T Skills
Mercenary
Complete the True Respite achievement by obliterating yourself at the Obelisk.
To complete this achievement you must clear stages until you reach your beginning again in order to spawn the celestial portal in a single run. You must effectively beat the game.
To do this simply continue to clear stages without dying until you return to your first map, whereupon celestial portals will begin to spawn. Go through a celestial portal and drop down the jump puzzle until you reach a large obelisk. Interact with the obelisk to eradicate yourself and end your run, “beating” the game and unlocking the character.
If unsure which portal to use, the portal will be announced in the ingame chat as a celestial portal, and looks like a white portal compared to its vibrantly blue portal counterpart which leads to the Bizarre.
