The Alloyed Collective expansion introduces Drifter, a new character who requires a lot of effort to unlock. You will have to go through different fights to use this DLC character. If you are unsure of how to unlock Drifter, then this guide will help you with that.
How to Unlock Drifter in Risk for Rain 2 Alloyed Collective
First, you need to reach and defeat Solus Wing, a new final boss introduced with the Alloyed Collective expansion.
After defeating the boss, you are free to explore the remaining area of Solutional Haunt. Use the zip lines and head to the upper area, where you will find the remains of two Alloyed units called Solus Coffer on different platforms. After interacting with each of them, you will get a Prison Matrix.
Once you grab the Prison Matrix, you will be met with enemies; take them out. But it’s not over, as you will also have to find the Umbra of MUL-T on the way back.
The first Prison Matrix can be used on the ground floor to open the Vault. As for the second one, it can be used to release Drifter after entering the Vault.
Now, Drifter is all yours and is a playable character. After doing all this, you will complete the Lost in Transit challenge. Here is some information on Drifter’s skills:
| Skills | How they Work |
|---|---|
| Trash to Treasure | Recycle. Gain stackable buffs by carrying Item Scrap. |
| Blunt Force | Bash enemies for 170% damage. The third hit deals 350% damage and stuns enemies. Has a chance to drop Junk. |
| Junk Cube | Slam down a Junk Cube for 400% damage. Hitting a Junk Cube will launch it, impacting enemies for 400% damage up to three times before exploding for 800% damage. Can consume four Junk to bypass the cooldown. |
| Repossess | Leap forward and bag a monster or interactable. Use again to throw your bag’s contents. Captured objects are bludgeoned |

And that’s how you unlock the Dirfter in Risk for Rain 2 Alloyed Collective.
