Resident Evil 2 RemakeArchipelago randomizer mod

Playing with others

Each Archipelago slot runs its own single-player scenario. Players exchange items through synchronous or asynchronous rooms; the integration does not add shared native co-op to Resident Evil 2.

Known scope and limitations

• Use the Steam non-RTX branch, not the ray-tracing build. Follow the visual guide to select it, then install the RE2_TDB66 build of REFramework. Compatibility with other REFramework/game combinations is not established here.
• Install the APWorld in Archipelago for generation. Separately extract the tagged RE2R_AP_Client source ZIP, then move the contents of its enclosing version folder into the game directory so reframework is at the correct level.
• Connect the in-game Archipelago Client for REFramework before beginning the matching scenario. The game mod displays the required character, scenario and difficulty; launching a different one is not an equivalent room setup.
• Keep Killsanity disabled for now. An open September 8, 2026 report describes a Claire B medallion placed on a Press Room enemy that only becomes killable after G1, creating a progression cycle. The September 3 release predates that report.
• The Killsanity option description still names an older, narrower supported scenario, while release notes and bundled data cover additional scenarios. Do not interpret that expanded data as proof that every enemy placement is safe.
• Use typewriter teleports only to revisit areas already reached normally. The maintainer warns that skipping story triggers, leaving boss fights or bypassing cutscenes can hardlock the game. The new G3 teleport restriction does not remove every misuse risk.
• Do not switch save files within the same seed. Save often, especially after boss fights, and keep backups before changing mods or campaigns. Item reconciliation is not permission to mix unrelated saves and slots.
• The latest medallion disappearance correction is described by its author as a likely fix, not confirmed universally. The new resend dropdown is a recovery tool; investigate lost items before continuing an important campaign.
• Troll weapon modes and extreme or randomized ammo quantities are explicitly not guaranteed to be reasonably beatable. Use the visual guide's safer settings for a first multiworld and do not enable every challenge option at once.
• This Windows listing does not certify Linux, Proton or unrelated mod combinations. Panludia has inspected public releases, setup, options, feedback and save handling, not independently completed the current campaign.
