Kratos — Playable Survivor (Risk of Rain 2)
Adds Kratos as a fully playable survivor. Built on the Mercenary rig (buff, already bald) with a fully repainted diffuse atlas:
- Blue cloth hue-remapped to a white shirt (front and back)
- "I ❤ CHRIS" printed in red across the chest
- A full brown beard airbrushed onto the lower-face UV region
- Normal/emission maps stay stock so shading still behaves

Notes
- Visuals are a hand-painted texture swap on the stock Mercenary materials —
no asset bundle required; the painted atlas ships embedded in the DLL
(
KratosMod.merc_chris.png), loaded viaTexture2D.LoadImageand applied by cloningmatMercand swapping_MainTex. - Skills reuse stock Commando entity states, so they're animation-safe and
network-safe (authority-checked, no custom networking). Verified: the
Mercenary rig exposes a
WeaponEntityStateMachine, so the same skill definitions fire on it. - Custom fan mod. Kratos is a trademark/character of Sony Interactive Entertainment (Santa Monica Studio) — not affiliated with or endorsed by Sony, Santa Monica Studio, or Hopoo Games.
