To unlock the Loader in Risk of rain 2, you need to complete the “Gudiance Offline” challenge. The challenge consists of you defeating the Alloy Worship Unit in Siren’s Call, aka stage four, only available after you smash enough vulture eggs laying around the map.
A quick, no BS explanation of how to unlock Loader in Risk of Rain 2:
- Get to Siren’s Call (either through stage four or Bazaar between worlds)
- Smash five vulture eggs scattered across the map. (Image below)
- Kill the Alloy Worship Unit
- You have unlocked the Loader
The video above shows you how to unlock Loader as quick as possible. It uses a Mercenary cheese tactic, so make sure to watch it if you want Loader ASAP.

Longer Explanation
If you want to go as quickly as possible, select Drizzle and either the Engineer or the Commando. The reason for selecting either of these is simple, the Engineer is strong and can go through portals quickly, but doesn’t have a movement save from the Alloy Worship Units knock-up attack (you’ll see later) so the Commando is good for this as well.
Now all you have to do is quickly move through the stages until you reach stage four. Or, alternatively, if you have some spare Lunar coins you can look for the Newt Altar to get to the Bazaar Between Worlds which can have the Siren’s Call portal. Since you can get get a Newt Altar at stage one you can effectively skip all of the other stages and go straight to the Siren’s Call.
Once you have reached the Siren’s Call, you are going to need to kill the vulture eggs lying around the map. They spawn randomly but you only need to kill five before the Alloy Worship Unit spawns. When you have killed all of the eggs go to the center of the map, that is the only place he spawns.
Killing the Alloy Worship Unit is quite difficult even on Drizzle. He has several AOE attacks and has two mini versions of himself that do a crap ton of damage. If you decided to play Engineer, most of the fight shouldn’t be a challenge, however, when the Alloy Worship Unit gets to 1/4 half health (roughly) he creates a field around the ground that will shoot you up in the air if you aren’t quick enough to get out. This fight mechanic is why the Commando is recommended.
Normally, if caught in this field, you are gonna die, or at least lose most of your health. On Commando, however, you can simply use your dash at the last second, preventing all fall damage. Engineer can’t do this, so you have to be far more careful.
After killing the Alloy Worship Unit you have completed the “Guardian Offline” challenge and have unlocked the Loader for Risk of Rain 2! You can now leave the game and start playing them immediately, don’t worry about completing the run.
End
So that is how you kill the Alloy Worship Unit in Risk of Rain 2. The Loader is incredibly fun and powerful, so I hope you have fun with them!
Cheers.
