The Party Menu

Learn how to manage your inventory, equip weapons and armor, and check your character stats in Risk of Rain Returns. Master your loadout!

Alright, let's talk about managing your gear in Risk of Rain Returns. Think of this as your personal party menu, where you'll keep track of everything your crew is carrying and how they're performing. It's super important for staying alive and kicking butt out there!

Items (Tools): You've got a limited inventory space for items, with 12 slots per character. That means 36 total if you've got a full party of three. It sounds like a lot, but trust me, you'll fill it up fast! When you select an item, you'll see three options:

• Use: This lets you see more info about the item and whether you can use it for a special action.
• Trade: This is how you give an item to another party member. Super handy if someone needs a specific tool!
• Toss: If you really need the space, you can throw an item away. Just be sure you really want to get rid of it – there's a confirmation screen to make sure you don't accidentally toss something important.

Arms (Equipment): This is where you'll manage what your characters are actually wearing. You can equip up to 8 different pieces of gear.

• Weapon: Some weapons can only be used by specific characters, so keep that in mind.
• Head: Helmets and other headgear go here.
• Body: This is for your main body armor.
• Arms: Gloves and arm guards fit here.
• Feet: Boots and other foot protection.
• Prtct (Protector): This is a special piece of armor that can block an initial attack. It can break though, so you'll need to replace it. Don't just toss the broken ones – you can sell them as scrap metal! If you collect enough, you might even get some new, stronger protectors.

Stat: This screen is your one-stop shop for checking out your characters' stats. You'll see their title, class (like Hunter, Mechanic, or Soldier), current HP, and combat levels. You can also check out their Strength, Intelligence, Agility, and more. Plus, you'll see their Attack and Defense ratings, and how much Experience they've gained.

Monster-Badge: Behind the stat screen, there's another panel where you can see your Monster Badges. Every time you take down a 'Wanted' monster, you'll earn a cool medal with a ribbon. It's a nice little trophy for your hard work!

Tank: This command is pretty straightforward. If you're in a tank, this lets your character get out. If you're already on foot, it'll just let you know you don't have a vehicle with you.
