Better Ready Up
A small, lightweight mod that improves the ready-up experience in Risk of Rain 2, now supporting both single-player and multiplayer.
🎮 Features
Ready / Unready
Change your mind? Just click the button again.
In multiplayer, players can toggle their ready status freely before the game starts. Single-player now also supports readying and unreadying, allowing you to cancel the countdown before starting a run.

Ready-up Countdown
A configurable countdown that starts once everyone is ready in multiplayer, or when you ready up in single-player.
If anyone unreadies in multiplayer, or you unready in single-player, the countdown is cancelled and resets.
- Separate settings for single-player and multiplayer
- Defaults to 5 seconds
- Adjustable from 0–60 seconds
Setting the single-player countdown to 0 seconds restores vanilla behaviour, starting the game immediately when you ready up.
Force Ready (ALL)
A host-only button that readies everyone up and starts the countdown in multiplayer.

A couple of things to note:
- Players can still unready after the host uses Force Ready. This is intentional, and doing so will cancel and reset the countdown.
- Force Ready uses the host's configured multiplayer countdown duration. If you want Force Ready to start the game instantly, simply set the multiplayer countdown to 0 seconds. This also makes normal multiplayer ready-up instant once everyone is ready.
⚙️ Configuration
The single-player and multiplayer countdown durations can be configured independently through the BepInEx config file, which is automatically generated on first launch.
Both settings accept integer values from 0 to 60 seconds and default to 5 seconds.
To restore vanilla single-player behaviour, set the single-player countdown to 0 seconds. This allows you to start a run immediately without waiting for a countdown.
Optional In-Game Configuration
Better Ready Up supports optional integration with Risk of Options, allowing both countdown settings to be adjusted in-game.
Without Risk of Options, Better Ready Up works normally, and settings can still be adjusted through the BepInEx config file.
🌐 Language Support
Better Ready Up currently uses English-only text for some modified UI elements, such as Unready, regardless of the game's selected language. Existing game translations are preserved where possible.
This is a cosmetic limitation and does not affect functionality. Additional language support may be considered in a future update.
