Hunter

This mod adds a custom survivor to Risk of Rain Returns; the Hunter.

The Hunter is a galactic warrior who collects relics (not yet implemented) from an ancient race to expand her abilities. Use Missiles to blast huddled groups of enemies and Morph Bombs to lay a trap while making a clean getaway. Remember that you can walljump or propel yourself up with Bombs to scale heights!

Walljumping

To walljump, you must be airborne and touching a wall, then hold away from the wall and quickly press the jump button to boost off of it.

Note

This mod is not yet finished, as I have many future plans for the Hunter and her capabilities. This first release just has everything I believe I need to make a working survivor.

Currently, she gains hidden powerups as her level increases.

• Missiles: Gain an extra stock of your secondary skill every level.
• Hi-Jump Boots: At level 8, gain a significant boost to jump height.
• Space Jump Boots: Starting at level 16, gain one extra midair jump every level.
• Varia: At level 12, gain 50 armor.
• Gravity: At level 16, gain 50 armor. Become immune to the slow-goop debuff from Hive Cluster and the lava in Magma Barracks, and increased fall speed in water.
• Spazer: At level 11, fire 2 extra beams from your primary.
• Ice: At level 13, have a chance to freeze and snare enemies with beams.
• Wave: At level 15, beams travel through walls.
• Plasma: At level 17, beams travel through non-boss enemies, dealing massive damage.

There is also a modGUI option to reduce the lag caused by having too many beams on screen. Enabling it will cause the oldest beams to be destroyed when there are too many.

• Known: You cannot see other players charging beams or firing charged beams.
