Player problem

Co-op Scaling now has a source-backed checklist, entity table and decision flow focused on keep multiplayer loot, revives and stage tempo fair.
Co-op Scaling starts with the current blocker
The page is built around keep multiplayer loot, revives and stage tempo fair, so the player can act before reading every row.
- Identify which of the first three entries matches the save.
- Check whether the source trail confirms the route.
- Do one change, then return to the table if the blocker remains.

Risk of Rain 2 routes can break when unlocks, DLC, patches or mods are assumed instead of verified.
- Confirm two-player loot split is available.
- Compare money scaling with the current player goal.
- Mark revive waiting as done, blocked or skipped.
How this page should be expanded next
The current standard is source-backed and useful, but future updates should add screenshots, route clips and deeper per-entry notes.
- Add one image for each high-volume player problem.
- Attach update notes when a patch changes Co-op Scaling.
- Keep unsafe or cheat-like instructions out of the page.
