How to get the Engineer in Risk of Rain 2

The Engineer character will unlock for you after you have cleared 30 areas. These do not have to be done in one life. Instead, you will be able to spread it out across multiple games.

The good news is that while it seems like a bit of a grind, areas go by surprisingly fast, especially if you have an efficient team. You can also unlock other characters along the way, which is nice! For example, keep an eye out for the Lunar Portal for a chance to unlock the Imprisoned Character.
