DPS Meter

A damage meter with a per-skill and per-item breakdown, split between trash mobs, boss encounters, and the damage you took.

What it shows

A corner panel with one row per player: their share of the team's damage, then current, peak and average DPS. Expand it and each row breaks down into the skills and items that produced it.

DPS · BOSS  [S4]   0:34                    Σ 77.2k
                                   CUR   PEAK    AVG
Noctilucent  58%                  1.2k   3.4k    890
  Special (Desperado)    26.7%                 2.29k
  Ceremonial Dagger      24.7%                 2.11k
  Primary (Burst)        20.2%                 1.73k
  AtG Missile Mk. 1       8.1%                   485

Press F11 for a full-screen view with hit counts, crit rates and average hit per source — the detail that would clutter a corner panel.

Controls

All rebindable in BepInEx/config/vince.dpsmeter.cfg.

Behaviour worth knowing

It follows the fight. Switches to boss damage when an encounter starts and back to mobs on a new stage. Multi-phase bosses like Mithrix stay as one fight rather than resetting per phase. You can always override with F7.

Boss numbers outlive the stage, tagged with the stage they came from ([S4]), so last fight's result is still readable without pretending to be current.

Damage taken is a log, not a breakdown. Newest first, so whatever killed you is the top line. Repeated ticks from one source collapse into a single ×14 row, which stops a burn stack burying the hit that mattered.

It hides itself whenever the game hides its own HUD — cutscenes, cinematics, stage transitions.

Nothing is silently dropped. Damage the mod cannot trace to a specific source shows as its own row rather than vanishing, so the breakdown always reconciles against the total.

Multiplayer

Damage only resolves on the host, so the host computes everything and sends aggregates to clients a few times a second.

• The host must have the mod, or nobody sees numbers.
• Everyone who wants to see the meter needs it installed.
• Players without it are unaffected — they are never sent anything.
• Mismatched versions detect each other and say so, rather than rendering nonsense.

Automatic reports

A breakdown is written to BepInEx/DpsMeter/report-<timestamp>.log whenever tracked damage is about to be discarded: a new stage, a boss defeated, the run ending. Each block also records the loadout that produced it, which makes "where is that damage coming from" answerable after the fact. Turn it off with AutoReport in the config.

Notes

The mod sets Risk of Rain 2's modded flag, which is standard. That places you in a separate matchmaking queue from unmodded players and disables Prismatic Trials. It does not affect playing with friends.

Some damage genuinely cannot be attributed. Shared projectiles are fired by several different items, and a few item effects are built in code with no inflictor or proc chain to read. Those are labelled as precisely as the game allows rather than guessed at.

Changelog

0.7.0

Everyone in a lobby needs 0.7.0: it does not talk to 0.6.0 or older (the meter switches itself off).

• Far less unattributed damage. Will-o'-the-wisp, Shatterspleen, Kjaro's Band, Ritual Helmet, Headstompers, Infernal Mark infighting, Enforcer's parry and several item hits built in code now get their own rows.
• Names you see in-game instead of internal ones: Hemorrhage, Collapse, Helfire Tincture, Burn (Ignition Tank), Runald's Band, Overloading and Gilded elite attacks, tidier enemy attack names.
• Skill names stay after a death instead of falling back to bare "Primary" / "Secondary".
• Every boss counts as boss damage, including the Shrine of Descent's extra boss.
• A boss fought in a hidden realm (e.g. Gilded Coast) no longer merges into the next stage's boss fight.
• Damage taken keeps per-stage totals.
• Less work per hit and per refresh, so the meter stays light in big fights.
