3. Select the packaged ZIP.
4. Restart Risk of Rain 2.

Copy the contents of the package's plugins/ directory into your profile's BepInEx/plugins/Patrick/ directory:

BepInEx/
└── plugins/
    └── Patrick/

        └── Soundbanks/

Keep the DLL, AssetBundles, and Soundbanks together. Restart after installation or updates.

Best for: Sustained close-range pressure and quick projectile clearing.

Best for: Timed counters and stronger individual hits.

Primary timings scale with attack speed. Hitstop also affects the actual attack rhythm. Default generally provides better sustained damage because it chains attacks faster.

Hold Secondary to carry overhead; release to throw.

Best for: Frequent ranged attacks and moving dangerous enemies out of groups.

Hold Secondary to spin and charge; release to throw.

Quick releases sacrifice damage and enemy blast size. During the spin, the held object sits outside Patrick's body and follows his animated torso around the Y axis.

Best for: Charged ranged burst and throwing enemies into packed groups.

Best for: Escaping, covering ground, and sustained contact damage.

Best for: Armored pushes into dangerous groups.

Hop up and slam down belly-first.

Best for: Interrupting crowds and making space.

Dive face-first for a precise, powerful landing.

Best for: Punishing targets you can land directly on.

• Nearby enemies can take both impact and shockwave damage.
• Each enemy is hit by a given shockwave at most once.
• The shockwave follows the ground; enemies high above it can avoid it.
• Macho delivers more close-impact burst but less coverage and weaker crowd control.

Both icons have their outlines and backgrounds applied after rendering. The ice-block mesh is used while carrying, hammer-spinning, and in flight.

• Aim a fruit throw directly at an ally to heal 5% of their maximum health.
• Fruit does not lock onto or home toward teammates.
• Healing requires a direct hit, rather than an area blast.
• Walls and enemies block the healing throw.
• One fruit heals one ally once, then is consumed.
• Freezy Fruit does not freeze allies, and neither fruit heals Patrick himself.

After launching the mod, edit:

BepInEx/config/com.llama.PatrickMod.cfg

Options include health, skill damage, grab reach, elite throw distance, charge time, roll duration, and stun duration. Not every timing or radius is configurable.

Existing configurations receive the new balance defaults once. Customized values are preserved unless they exactly match an old shipped default.

Leave Balance Revision unchanged so the migration does not repeat.

• Added a dedicated character-select idle controller using original game animations.
• Default and Naked Pat occasionally play the game's eyebrow, tongue, and expression idles.
• Goober Hangover and Kelp Mustache use their original costume idle animations.
• Preview animation uses unscaled time and stays separate from gameplay locomotion.

• Increased Macho Cartwheel to 1.2x current run speed.
• Expanded its horizontal hitbox from 4 x 4 to 5 x 5, making it 25% wider and deeper.
• Both Cartwheel variants retain their 6s cooldown.

• Replaced the tinted watermelon with the original ice-block Freezy Fruit mesh and texture.
• Applied it to carrying, hammer-spinning, and projectile visuals.
• Re-rendered its icon from the actual mesh, with the outline and background added afterward.

• Both Cartwheel variants use current run speed throughout the roll.
• Movement bonuses, sprint-only bonuses, and slows update the roll as they change.
• Removed the extra sprint multiplier so sprint speed is not counted twice.

• Matched Macho Cartwheel's cooldown to Default at 6s.
• Added independent Misc fruit selection and an icon for each choice.
• Freezy Fruit deals 70% of normal fruit damage and freezes susceptible enemies for 2s.
• Direct fruit hits heal allies for 5% of maximum health, without ally lock-on or self-healing.

• Corrected the held-object orbit to follow Patrick's animated spine.
• A Unity animation check verifies a full 360° turn.
• Full in-game and multiplayer visual confirmation remains pending.

• Increased held-object clearance.
• Added upright rotation while hammer-spinning.

• Differentiated Default and Macho through damage, mobility, recovery, armor, and crowd-control tradeoffs.
• Corrected minimum Hammer Throw charge scaling.
