Risk of Rain 2: Railgunner Tips 

We hope that you are finding this Railgunner Survivor guide helpful; there are some tips that you should follow when pursuing Railgunner; here they are as follows: 

1. Aim for the “Perfect Reload” area during Railgunner’s reload, triggering a 500% damage boost.
2. Manage HH44 Marskan Ability reload times wisely; consider cooldown reduction, but note that achieving perfect reloads may be challenging.
3. Utilize Railgunner’s Supercharged shot effectively to avoid self-disabling and a 15-second cooldown penalty.
4. Leverage the Ocular HUD for Railgunner, granting “Full Crit” ability for 8 seconds, ensuring critical hits.
5. Enhance Railgunner’s damage against single targets with Crowbars and Runald’s Band.
6. Exploit Railgunner’s Piercing skill to deal with crowds of enemies efficiently.
7. Target weak points for guaranteed crit hits, maximizing damage output, and taking advantage of Railgunner’s buff.

Railgunner Best Items 

These are some of the best items that will highly benefit Railgunner herself. With her focus significantly on buffing her crit rate and increasing her overall damage output, it is fair to say that items that will boost her damage are more viable. 

Len’s Makers Glasses 

The Len’s Makers Glasses is an essential item in Risk of Rain 2 that essentially focuses on buffing your crit rate by 10% to efficiently deal as much damage as possible. The item itself can stack for a total of 10 times, with each attack stacking on top of another; by the time the 10th stack has been made, Railgunner will have a 100% crit rate. 

Consider that the item itself will not stack past the limit of 10. As Railgunner highly benefits from crit rate buffs, this item is of most value to her, as her damage against her foes will be increased by a high amount, and it will cause her to wipe off enemies within seconds.

Crowbar 

Following along, Railgunner’s next best slot item is the Crowbar, which will benefit Railgunner yet again in her combat. When the player taking hold of the Crowbar launches an attack against an opponent with more than 90% of its overall HP in its health bar standing, the player will effectively continue to increase their overall damage output by 75%. 

There can be more than two stacks of Crowbar at any given time, and if you manage to stack it three times, then you will deal around 225% additional damage based on 3 stacks; therefore, it is recommended that the player uses this to their advantage and deal massive amounts of damage against their opponents. 

Backup Magazine 

Going right on with the Backup Magazine, this item is yet another amazing one for Railgunner, as it offers up the benefit of allowing the player to use their Secondary skill another time instantly without needing to cool down the trigger, without which it would have been troublesome. For Railgunner, she can benefit from resuing her Secondary skills a lot. 

If you have more than a few Backup Magazines in your arsenal, it allows for a consistent damage output as you can repeatedly trigger the skill. The player can easily spam the skill, and Railgunner can use her M99 Sniper and HH44 Marksman skill excellently with this item. 

Runald’s Band

The next item is the Runald’s Band, which offers Railgunner with an Ice-based explosion when Railgunner attacks enemies with 400% additional damage based on her damage output. The opponent will also be massively be slowed down for a total of 3 seconds, which gives the player ample time to attack and take them down.
