Gen. HARD-HAT, reporting for duty, ready to lead his squad into the frayCommandoDrone
None of the new things have been tested in multiplayer. Please contact me if anything is wrong (see the bottom).
NOW WITH... FOOTBALL... AND PIRATES!
General Hardhat is a no-nonsense general, leading his squad of drones into the fray. Created by one of the survivors during the events of Risk of Rain 1, they still strive to save their long gone creator.
He flies freely: Hold space to ascend, and sprint to descend. Always sprints while moving forward.
Requires Alloyed Collective.
| Skill | Description |
|---|---|
| Wingmen (passive) | Start with two drones, picked in the loadout's Drone rows: Pvt. P4RTS, a Gunner Drone with a sniper rifle that fires a piercing rebar shot for 500% damage every 8s; Sgt. SCRAP-SPER, a Junk Drone that lobs a ball of junk for 300% damage every 5s and flies Bombing Runs (dash dropping 10 bombs for 100% damage each, 7s cooldown) over enemies. Both inherit one stack of each of your items, plus one per Drone Combiner upgrade. Destroyed wingmen crash into a wreck that repairs itself over 30 seconds, then flies again. |
| Stun Shot | Shocking. Fire a small Power Tazer for 150% damage, once per second. Stuns for up to 2 seconds. |
| Blowtorch | Ignite. Burn enemies at close range with a blowtorch for 1200% damage. 5s cooldown. |
| Rocket Run | Dash forward, firing 3 missiles along the way, plus one from every drone you own, for 300% damage each. 2 charges, 10s cooldown. |
| UPGRADE! | You and your drones get +20% movement speed, +20% attack speed and 50% reduced cooldowns for 8 seconds. 20s cooldown. |
Variant: Capt. ARGH-HAT
With Survariants installed, pick him in the Variants tab of Gen. HARD-HAT; without it he's a survivor of his own. A pirate drone with a flintlock, a cutlass and a cannon slung underneath. Sails with two crew picks: Cook Hector, the Scallywag Twins Sam (blunderbuss) and Will (cutlass), who count as one pick.
| Skill | Description |
|---|---|
| Flintlock | Fire a single shot for 200% damage, once per second. |
| Fake Treasure | Throw a treasure chest stuffed with gold and TNT that sticks to terrain and enemies; press again to blow it up for 400% damage in a 14m radius. Detonating costs no charge. 8s cooldown. |
| Cutlass Charge | Dash forward through enemies, slashing them for 400% damage. 6s cooldown. |
| Cannonball! | Fire a cannonball for 900% damage that pierces enemies and keeps bouncing off terrain for 3 seconds. 12s cooldown. |
Coach HAT-TRICK
An old Transport drone in a long coat. Years upon years of match footage have made him a tactical genius, but a disagreeable one at best. Like Capt. ARGH-HAT, he's in the Variants tab with Survariants and a survivor of his own without it. Fields his team in two Drone rows: by default a pair of Soccer Drones and the Referee Drone.
| Skill | Description |
|---|---|
| Tactical Toss | Throw the tactics board up to 25m and back, piercing enemies for 150% damage each way. Every third throw deals 300% damage. |
| Complain to the Ref | The Referee shows the targeted enemy a yellow card for 450% damage, and their next 3 hits taken deal 2x damage. With no Referee around, you throw it yourself. 8s cooldown. |
| Hard Tackle | Dash forward, passing through enemies and tackling them for 300% damage. 6s cooldown. |
| Tactical Switch | Switch your whole team's play, which lasts until you switch again. Offensive: +25% damage dealt, +35% damage taken, 50% less regen and healing, and your drones fly lower and chase further. Defensive: -25% damage taken, -30% damage dealt, 2% healing per second, and your drones stay close. 10s cooldown. |
Soccer Drones
Coach HAT-TRICK's pick that brings two drones, Cristiano Dronaldo and Wayne Drooney. They slide tackle enemies for 250% damage every 6 seconds, and pass a ball between them every 1.5 seconds, storing 150% damage per pass. At 1500% the next pass is a shot at the enemy with the most health in sight within 60m. Picking them in both Drone rows means four drones sharing one ball: every drone over 2 adds 30% ball speed and 500% shot damage.
Referee Drone
Another of Coach HAT-TRICK's picks. He throws his offside flag at enemies for 250% damage every 1.5 seconds, faster with attack speed. Every 12 seconds he blows his whistle for 100 armor and taunts enemies within 35m for 4 seconds. Every 10 hits he takes, he shows up to 4 enemies in sight within 40m a red card, bosses first. It deals 900% damage to each, and their skills are disabled for 8 seconds. He is a Healing Drone in a referee's shirt, so the Drone Combiner upgrades him with Healing Drones.
Experimental
Lt. W1NG-NUT, the Galley de Ruyter and R0CK-Y are experimental: they are off by default. Turn on Experimental content in the config, or in the Mod Options menu with Risk of Options, and restart the game.
