I wanted to personally thank Cascenn for making The BEST Mods for Risk of Rain 2 from whom I took heavy inspiration while writing this guide.

You can find all the information about the creators of the mods on their respective Thunderstore[thunderstore.io] pages.

All of the client-side, lobby and ui mods should work without messing with multiplayer (at least last time I played with them), if you found any problems with them I can add a tag or move them to the server-side category

[Gativrek]

Would be nice to add a tag for the mods that don't mess with multiplayer (I'm assuming it's just the client-side ones). Still, great guide

[BNbbo|]

no it doesn't

[sock goblin]

does installing any mods for this game disable being able to get achievements?

[BNbbo|]

I didn't create a modpack myself, but if you or someone else were to put them all in a modpack, then yes

[Potlid]

Hey! I'm new to modding and steam as a whole and would like to know if its possible for me to download all of these as one modpack

[BNbbo|]

no problem!

[BlackbeaR]

got it, thanks for the response!!

[BNbbo|]

no, you are completely safe. although some mods won't work in multiplayer, so you may not be able to play with your friends if you create a lobby with those mods enabled.

[BlackbeaR]

Silly question, will steam get mad if i install any of these mods while i play multiplayer?
