addedYesterday, we revealed that Expedition Mode will be coming to Rain World: Downpour! If you missed the trailer, you can watch it here! https://youtu.be/H7tVAwwmHaE Expedition mode brings a new and exciting way to play Rain World! Each campaign you can set up different challenges, difficulty, slugcats and more! Complete the challenges to gain points to unlock perks, burdens, music for the jukebox and more!

addedMeet the DeveloperI hope you've enjoyed what you've seen of Expedition so far, I'm excited to see your reactions once you get your hands on it. While the new mode is tailored more towards hardcore players and completionists, I hope everyone can find something about Expedition they enjoy.

addedSelecting a SlugcatYour first decision in Expedition Mode will always be what slugcat you’d like to play. If you have More Slugcats expansion enabled, then you’ll be able to use them as well! You must have beaten the slugcat's campaign before you can select them in Expedition Mode! Selecting a slugcat will have their special spawns and abilities! So Rivulet still rockets across the map and the Artificer explodes with their jumps.

addedSelecting ChallengesThe difficulty of the challenges can be selected with the slider bar over the challenges. The more difficult the challenges are, the more points you may earn at the end of the expedition. You may make the expedition even more challenging by hiding the challenges so you don’t know what your challenges are while in your expedition by clicking the eye button next to the challenges. Hidden challenges give you double the points!

changedSelecting ChallengesClicking the dice button will randomize all the challenges in the list even if the challenge is hidden. If you click one of the challenges, it will randomize only that one challenge. So if you like two challenges but not the third challenge you may choose to only change that one challenge.

Meet the Developer

Expedition Mode was developed by the amazing, talented LeeMoriya! He also developed some exceptional Rain World mods like Forecast and In-Game Warp Menu. And for other mod developers out there, he has been super helpful in the modding scene by helping players that are having trouble with modding their game. Here is a message from LeeMoriya himself!

“Hey Everyone,

I hope you've enjoyed what you've seen of Expedition so far, I'm excited to see your reactions once you get your hands on it. While the new mode is tailored more towards hardcore players and completionists, I hope everyone can find something about Expedition they enjoy.

Rain World's modding community is the first one I've ever become really invested in, and without their help and support, Expedition and many of my other mods may never have been made. So If I've ever bugged you for help, or you've enjoyed something I've made, then I'd like to thank you!

-LeeMoriya”

Selecting a Slugcat

Your first decision in Expedition Mode will always be what slugcat you’d like to play. If you have More Slugcats expansion enabled, then you’ll be able to use them as well! You must have beaten the slugcat's campaign before you can select them in Expedition Mode! Selecting a slugcat will have their special spawns and abilities! So Rivulet still rockets across the map and the Artificer explodes with their jumps.

You can have one expedition save for each slugcat per save file.

Selecting Challenges

Once you have your slugcat selected, you then be able to select your challenges! You may have up to 5 challenges active in an expedition. The more challenges you face and complete the more points you will earn at the end of the run which will help you unlock stuff.

Here are the different types of challenges you can face:

Passage
Echo
Score
Hunting
Item collecting
Pearl delivery / hoarding
Neuron gifting
Spear pinning
Vista visiting

You may filter these so you only get the challenges you like!

The difficulty of the challenges can be selected with the slider bar over the challenges. The more difficult the challenges are, the more points you may earn at the end of the expedition. You may make the expedition even more challenging by hiding the challenges so you don’t know what your challenges are while in your expedition by clicking the eye button next to the challenges. Hidden challenges give you double the points!

Clicking the dice button will randomize all the challenges in the list even if the challenge is hidden. If you click one of the challenges, it will randomize only that one challenge. So if you like two challenges but not the third challenge you may choose to only change that one challenge.
