Developers of the fun third-person shooter Risk of Rain 2 implemented nerfs to certain items, including the Brittle Crown and Ben’s Raincoat. Patch 1.2.3 also brings balancing adjustments to some enemies.

The Brittle Crown is a lunar item that, when equipped, gives you a 30% chance to gain gold when hitting an enemy. Originally, you surrender a portion of your gold when enemies hit you. The good thing, however, was that you can recoup the amount you’ve surrendered by killing the offender. In Patch 1.2.3, a fundamental change was made in that this item no longer grants gold to the enemy who hits, thus giving the Brittle Crown a clear downside unlike before.

Ben’s Raincoat is another item that got nerfed. Back then, this item made you immune to all debuffs, besides increasing your maximum HP. But now, it can only block one debuff per stack and no longer grants maximum health. Moreover, it now has a five-second internal cooldown, which kicks in after blocking a debuff successfully. Despite these changes, the developers don’t want Ben’s Raincoat to be unappealing to use, so they added a large barrier equal to 10% of your health when blocking a debuff.

Risk of Rain 2 Patch 1.2.3 is available on the Nintendo Switch and PC.
