How To Unlock Chef in Risk of Rain 2

Risk of Rain 2 is a fast-paced action game with a rogue-like mode and a wide range of characters. Among the most interesting and popular requests are the chef characters. In this article, we’ll explain how to unlock the Chef character in Risk of Rain 2 piece by piece.

Understanding the Chef

First, let me talk about the Chef before going straight into the unlocking process. The Chef is one of the characters in the first game and is associated with cooking attacks and moves. In Risk of Rain 2, the Chef has not lost his desire to cook, but with the 3D graphics and features added to the game.

A very important thing to note here is that the Chef is not a character in the base game of Risk of Rain 2. He was not included in the sequel developed by the developers who developed the first one. But that’s where the game’s modding community comes in handy; you can download the Chef into your game via mods. The guide will outline the modding requirements and unlocking the Chef.

Things You Should Have

Before you can unlock the Chef, you'll need to set up your game for modding. Here's what you'll need:

1. Risk of Rain 2 installed on your PC (Steam version)
2. R2ModMan (Risk of Rain 2 Mod Manager)
3. BepInEx (a modding framework for Unity games)
4. The Chef mod

How To Unlock The Chef

Step 1: Install R2ModMan

1. Go to the Thunderstore website (https://thunderstore.io)
2. Search for "R2ModMan" and download the latest version
3. Install R2ModMan on your computer
4. Launch R2ModMan and select Risk of Rain 2 as your game

Step 2: Install BepInEx

1. In R2ModMan, go to the "Online" tab
2. Search for "BepInEx"
3. Click on "BepInEx Pack" and install it

Step 3: Install the Chef Mod

1. Still, in R2ModMan, search for "ChefMod" or "Chef"
2. Find the mod created by "Gnome" (it should be one of the top results)
3. Click on the mod and install it

Step 4: Configure the Mod

1. In R2ModMan, go to the "Config Editor" tab
2. Find the Chef mod in the list and click on it
3. Look for an option called "UnlockChef" or similar
4. Set this option to "True" if it isn't already

Step 5: Launch the Game

1. In R2ModMan, click on "Play Modded."
2. This will launch Risk of Rain 2 with the mods installed

Step 6: Unlock the Chef

Now that you've installed the necessary mods and launched the game, you can unlock the Chef. The exact method might vary depending on the mod version, but typically, you'll need to do one of the following:

Option A: Automatic Unlock

In some versions of the Chef mod, the character is automatically unlocked as soon as you install the mod and set the "UnlockChef" option to True. If this is the case, you should immediately see the Chef available in your character selection screen.

Option B: Achievement Unlock

Some mod versions require you to complete an in-game achievement to unlock the Chef. This achievement is usually relatively easy to complete. Here's a common method:

1. Start a new run with any character.
2. Find a Bustling Fungus item (the small green mushroom).
3. Use the Bustling Fungus to heal an ally (this could be a drone or another player in multiplayer).
4. Complete the teleporter event in the first stage.

If you've done this correctly, you should see an achievement pop-up, and the Chef will be unlocked.

Playing as the Chef

Once unlocked, you can select the Chef from the character selection screen like any other character. The Chef's abilities usually include:

1. Primary Attack: Throw knives or other cooking utensils
2. Secondary Attack: Create a damaging area of effect, often themed around hot oil or steam
3. Utility: A movement ability, possibly involving sliding on butter
4. Special: A powerful attack, often involving a large cooking pot or other kitchen implements

Remember that since this is a modded character, the exact abilities and playstyle may vary depending on the mod version and the modder's vision for the character.

Tips for Playing the Chef

1. Use your ranged attacks to stay safe while dealing damage
2. Your area-of-effect abilities can be great for crowd control
3. Look for items that complement your cooking theme, like Gasoline or Bandolier
4. Experiment with different builds to find what works best for your playstyle

Conclusion
