Unlock the Drifter in Risk of Rain 2 Alloyed Collective
- To unlock the Drifter, you need to reach and beat the final boss of the new expansion, Solus Wing. This is a pretty tough fight, so don’t be afraid to start on Drizzle.
- After beating the Solus Wing, you’ll be allowed to explore what remains of Solutional Haunt. There will be a portal open (in the main eye of the Solus Wing), but you don’t need to enter it just yet.
- Instead, make your way to the top area using the zip lines.
- Here, you’ll find the remains of two Alloyed units called Solus Coffer on different platforms. Interacting with each of these will give you a Prison Matrix.
- Grabbing the Prison Matrix will spawn enemies, so be careful; you aren’t out of danger just yet. You’ll also have to fight the Umbra of MUL-T on the way back, which isn’t that hard.
- Now that you have both Prison Matrixes, head back down to the ground floor, where you can unlock the Vault using the first Prison Matrix.
- Then enter the Vault and use the second Prison Matrix to break the Drifter free.
That’s all you need to do, and she’ll be available as a playable character next time. This also completes the “Lost in Transit” challenge.
