Common itemsUncommon itemsLegendary itemsBoss itemsVoid itemsEquipmentElite equipment Risk of Rain 2 items spawn throughout the game, some coming from monster drops and treasure chests, while others are locked behind specific challenges. Whenever you pick up an item for the first time, it’s added to your logbook.

Items come in a variety of rarities, signified by the colour of the border around them. Here are what each of the colours means:

White – common Green – uncommon Red – uncommon Yellow – boss/planet Blue – lunar Purple – void Orange – equipment

We’ll go into more detail about what each of these means in their respective sections below. However, we’ve excluded lunar, as we have an entire guide dedicated to Risk of Rain 2 lunar items and equipment.

Risk of Rain 2 passive items As the name suggests, passive items give you a bonus for having them in your inventory. That’s right – you don’t need to do anything, simply owning them usually gives you a pretty decent buff. Of course, if you get rid of the item, the bonus it gives you is also removed. All items that aren’t equipment are considered passive items.

There’s no limit to how many passive items you can have. If you gain multiples of a specific item, they‘re stacked in your inventory, which applies the item’s effects in a particular way instead of each copy affecting you independently.

Risk of Rain 2 Void items Risk of Rain 2 void items are passive items unique to the Survivors of the Void expansion. While their bonuses can be pretty substantial, they also apply a corruption status to their non-void counterparts. Through corruption, the original items are transformed into void items – for example, if you own 57 Leaf Clovers, and then pick up a Benthic Bloom, all of your 57 Leaf Clovers turn into Benthic Blooms. In short, it’s impossible for a void item to coexist in your inventory alongside its uncorrupted counterpart.

The only way to find void items is through rare void cradles that are spotted throughout maps.

Risk of Rain 2 equipment In Risk of Rain 2, equipment are items that offer no passive bonus but instead must be activated, much like a skill.

Risk of Rain 2 elite equipment Similar to boss items, elite equipment are items that grant you powers of their corresponding elite enemies. Despite being called equipment, they’re closer in function to passive items, as their benefits are applied passively as soon as you equip them. However, elite equipment is still restricted to an active item slot, so you can’t stack them and you can only equip one at a time.

Elite equipment is super rare, with a 0.025% base drop rate from its respective elite enemy. This chance is marginally affected by your in-game luck, but they’re still pretty tough to get your paws on. When you have a piece of elite equipment activated, it allows you to take on the effects of the corresponding elite’s attacks – for example, having Her Biting Embrace active imbues your attacks with the Glacial Elite’s properties, such as slowing enemies on hit.

Risk of Rain 2 item Effect Obtained from

Her Biting Embrace Become an aspect of ice Glacial Elite

His Reassurance (Survivors of the Void DLC content) Become an aspect of earth Mending Elite

Ifrit’s Distinction Become an aspect of fire Blazing Elite
