Risk of Rain 2: How to Use The Unlimited Lunar Coins Cheat

Among the currencies in Risk of Rain 2, Lunar Coins rate highly for their rarity and desirability. You can use them to buy several Lunar items from the Bazaar Between Realms and unlock a new survivor, the Artificer. The main difficulty behind these coins is that they’re pretty hard to obtain. The best way to get them is by taking out enemies, but these coins have a drop rate of a paltry 0.5%.

For most players, this would be prohibitive, but fortunately for the PC crowd, there’s a way to circumvent this by dabbling in a little bit of cheating. It’s pretty simple to do, and it will save you a lot of time in the process if you’re not looking to grind for hours or even days. Here’s how to get unlimited Lunar Coins in Risk of Rain 2 on PC.
