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.
Alternate skills and unlocks
Every skill slot has alternates, and the passive is a loadout choice. Each is unlocked by an achievement while playing Pepsiman:
| Skill | Unlock |
|---|---|
| Can Toss (primary) | Hit 10 enemies with counter-shot cans in one life |
| Slam Dunk (primary) | Defeat 5 enemies in one stage while airborne |
| Roundhouse Rush (primary) | Hit 5+ enemies with a single strike |
| Shoulder Charge (secondary) | Reach the fourth stage |
| Fizz Shake (secondary) | Reach max Fizz |
| Lob (secondary) | Defeat 8 enemies with the Pepsi Machine in one life |
| Hurdle (utility) | Hit 5 enemies with a single Slide |
| Truck Dodge (utility) | Take 10 hits while armored in one life |
| Drink Break (utility) | Heal 1000 health from cans in one life |
| Vending Barricade (special) | Land 3 Pepsi Machines on enemies in one stage |
| Pepsi Rush (special) | Beat the game or obliterate |
| Pepsi Truck (special) | Beat the game or obliterate on Monsoon or higher |
| Can Collector (passive) | Pick up 25 cans in one life |
| Hurdler (passive) | Jump 50 times in one life |

Credits
- Pepsiman is a character from the 1999 game Pepsiman (KID / Pepsico). This is an unofficial fan mod and is not affiliated with or endorsed by either company.
- Character base mesh: supplied by the mod author. Rig and weights, UV layout, textures, the Fizz muscle shape, the vending machine, cans, spawn pod and portrait: made in Blender for this mod.
- Animations: retargeted from the Quaternius Universal Animation Library (UAL 1 and 2, CC0); the idle, kick and uppercut are hand-keyed.
- Built with BepInEx, R2API and the Risk of Thunder community's libraries. Skill structure studied from PaladinMod (Paladin_Alliance).
- Sound effects: clips taken from the original game's audio, CC0 effects from Kenney's Impact Sounds and OpenGameArt (qubodup, EZduzziteh, 'swishes sound pack'), and fan-uploaded clips (Myinstants). Music: the Pepsiman theme and stage tracks. These belong to their original owners.
Known issues
- The character is an unofficial, in-progress fan project: expect rough edges. Reports are welcome.
- Sound has had little real-world listening time.
