Every character of Risk of Rain 2 uses different items to play efficiently. But Gasoline, Ukulele, Kjaro’s band, Focus Crystal, Paul’s Goat Hoof, Crowbar, Wil-o-Wisp, and ATG Missile are perfect items for Loader.

Builds  

Two Risk of Rain 2 builds can be used with Loader. These are One-Shot build and Attack Speed build taking the thrill of the game to another level. 

1- One-Shot Build

For the One-Shot build, you need to have a utility-charged Gauntlet and the secondary ability spiked fist. The charged Gauntlet is better than Thunder Gauntlet because it scores higher than the latter. Remember that the One-Shot build is not that up to the mark like other Risk of Rain 2 builds, so you can use shade glass and full glass cannon to make it more powerful. When using Crowbar, the gauntlet causes huge burst damage but that’ not for every target.

2- Attack Speed Build

For Attack Speed build, you need Artifact of Command and up to 7 Lens Markers Glasses, and 2 Fuel cells among other items. If you combine 2 Fuel cells and 3 Gestures, that will be a perfect combo for making Spinal Tonic eternal. This way, you’ll not face any difficulty in unlocking the Loader’s skin in Monsoon.

  • At the 6th level or above you must equip the Heretic with Gnarled Woodsprite. It is beneficial for neutralizing negative regeneration. Even it gives her extra healing capacity as the levels increase.
