Patch 1.0.5 for Risk of Rain Returns is now available on Steam. This update resolves a number of issues concerning certain survivors, including the Commando, Drifter, and Enforcer.
What Got Fixed?
The Drifter is one of the most fun and exciting survivors to play in Risk of Rain Returns. Although she is billed as a support character, she possesses abilities that allow her to dish out pain to her enemies.
That said, Patch 1.0.5 has addressed some issues with the Drifter. Her default special skill, Salvage, allows her to consume copious amounts of scrap metal to spawn four temporary items. Previously, there was a bug that caused these items to get stuck, especially later in the game when her attack speed was so high. The good news is that this is no longer a problem, so those who had issues with the Drifter's Salvage skill must update their clients to the latest version.
How about the Commando? This survivor has an ability called Tactical Slide that allows him to slide forward a short distance while also being able to fire at his enemies when doing so. So, what's the problem? Well, there was an issue where the Commando could not turn around while sliding. Thankfully, this has now been resolved.

How About Improvements?
This update brought a bunch of improvements as well. The Enforcer's alternate primary skill called Shrapnel Grenade can now knock enemies back consistent in the direction it was fired.
Additionally, the Drifter's Scrap Cube now interacts with geysers to improve upward trajectory. When utilized correctly, the Drifter can launch herself high off the ground, possibly letting her reach new heights like never before.
