Loader

Loader is one of the playable characters in Risk of Rain 2. She was released as a new unlock-able survivor from the Skills 2.0 Update.

How to Unlock
Loader is unlocked upon completing the challenge "Guidance Offline". (Destroy five of the egg nests in Siren's Call, then defeat the spawned boss.)

Tips

 * Knuckleboom briefly stuns and knocks back lighter enemies such as Lemurians, Beetles, Imps, and Hermit Crabs.
 * Grapple Fist & Spiked Fist only go on cooldown if the attack connects with an enemy or terrain; if not, it reels back in and is immediately ready for re-use.
 * You can charge up and release Charged Gauntlet while you're attached to something by Grapple Fist or Spiked Fist. Use this to gain damage when using Charged Gauntlet, as its damage is increased by the Loader's movement speed. On top of dealing massive amounts of damage, it can also allow you to cover great distances very quickly.
 * Release Charged Gauntlet at the apex of Grapple Fist's trajectory (when you start going upwards) to maintain maximum momentum when trying to go far.

Trivia

 * Loader was one of the two post-launch playable characters in the first Risk of Rain.
 * The Loader's "Classic" skin is a reference to Risk of Rain 1. It has the same color scheme as the original Loader.
