In Ratchet & Clank 2, all Gadgets, Platinum Bolts and Planet Coordinates are shuffled into the multiworld, giving the game a greater variety in routing to complete the end goal.

The end goal of the randomizer game is to defeat the giant mutated Protopet on planet Yeedil.

FAQs

What happens if I pickup an item without having the client running?

In order for Ratchet & Clank 2 to function correctly, the Client should always be running whenever you are playing through your game.
The client should be able to detect and resync missing items in most cases, but I wouldn't rely on it.

Aside from item locations being shuffled, how does this differ from the vanilla game?

Some of the changes include:

• You start at Slim's Ship Shack which will act as a hub.
• You start with 3 random planets unlocked.
• Holding L1 + R1 + L2 + R2 + SELECT will reset you to the Ship Shack.
