Alloyed Collective 1.4.1 Update Notes
Thanks again everyone for the amazing reception for Alloyed Collective, today we have a big ol’ update for Risk of Rain 2 which includes a bunch of fixes, updates and balance changes.
For our Nintendo Switch fans the changes in this patch will be built into the day 1 release of the Switch version which is due in Q1 2026 (we’ll get it to you as fast as possible!)
This is the only planned update to Alloyed Collective but that doesn't mean you shouldn't report any issues to us - we can always include any fixes into future releases… our plans for Risk of Rain 2 are far, far from over.
Note: There are Alloyed Collective spoilers in these notes!
Updates & Balance changes.
Solus Heart base health increased by 25% from 6000 -> 7500 and base damage increased (from 10 to 11.)
Alloy Hunter base health increased by 20% from 3000 -> 3600.
Solus Wing weak points take 25% less damage from proc chains.

A Drifter repossessing another Drifter in multiplayer who is encumbered by having already repossessed a heavy object will now correctly inherit being encumbered.
Solus Wing’s logbook no longer drops from the boss - can you find it??
Community Manager Note: HUGE NERF - Players failing to grab it under dying Wing was the best thing in the DLC.
Warbonds now work with Pocket ICBM (but is intentionally not as large an increase as stacking multiple Warbonds.)
Repossess no longer generates scrap when damaging a Junk Cube.
Increased Tornado Slam’s damage from 170% -> 220% and increased final hit damage from 400% -> 600%, and greatly increased junk production.

Solus Heart loot pool has been updated to include Hardlight Afterburner, Orphaned Core and Spare Drone Parts.
Conduit Canyon's "Intrusion Detected" line is now pink to match with other world event messages.
