Pepsiman
Pepsiman: a momentum melee survivor. Always running, building Fizz with every hit, juggling enemies, and calling vending machines down from orbit.Pepsiman
A custom survivor for Risk of Rain 2. Pepsiman never stops running.
He is a momentum brawler: you are always sprinting forward, every hit you land builds Fizz, and Fizz makes you faster and tougher. Spend it all at once on the Pepsi Machine.
How he plays
| Slot | Skill | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Passive | Never Stops | Always sprinting. Fizz (max 15) gives movement speed and armor. Fizz is only lost when you take damage. |
| Primary | Punch / Kick | Lunging punch, punch, kick combo. Carries enemies along at your speed, holds you in the air, grants a little barrier. A short pause follows the kick. |
| Secondary | Uppercut | Launches you and everything you hit into the air. Two charges, so Backup Magazine means longer juggles. Getting hit by a ranged attack while you Uppercut throws a piercing Pepsi can at your crosshair (limited per second). |
| Utility | Slide | Armored slide that damages and carries what it passes through. |
| Special | Pepsi Machine | Aim like Captain's supply drop (M1 confirm, M2 or R again cancel). A vending machine falls from orbit, crushing anything in its path, then blasts the area. Costs all your Fizz: more Fizz means more damage and more healing Pepsi cans for each player. |
You spawn in a cracked-open vending machine instead of the drop pod.
