Captain

The Captain is a playable character in Risk of Rain 2.

Commander of the UES Safe Travels, the Captain's strength is his ability to call down a variety of tactical drops from orbit, from a humble healing beacon to the spectacularly haphazard OGM-72 'DIABLO' Strike.

Tips

 * In Hidden Realms, Orbital Probe and Orbital Supply Beacon are not usable, indicated by an icon of an unplugged power cord saying "You have lost connection with the UES Safe Travels...". Be sure to plan accordingly in such areas.
 * Despite being "orbital" call-ins, both abilities will still function normally in enclosed/roofed-in areas.
 * The Captain's make him very effective against, , and other monsters which use projectiles. However, he is weak against , , , , , and other monsters using hitscans.
 * As Captain, you have useful support skills and hit quite hard, but your mobility is extremely poor. Plan your item choices accordingly.
 * Holding Primary Fire and then sprinting lets you hold your charge, and shoot once while sprinting.
 * Sprinting after activating Captain's special Orbital Supply Beacon allows the player to get out of targeting mode, and puts Orbital Probe on full cooldown regardless of if there are charges left.
 * Since Captain's Vulcan Shotgun fires 8 projectiles at once, and each projectile has a Proc Coefficient of 0.75, Captain can make very good use of items such as or.
 * While aiming the Orbital Probe, picking up drops will restore 1 charge, letting you use more than 3 per activation. However, you cannot have more than 3 charges stored.
 * Orbital Supply Beacons can be used to press the buttons on Abandoned Aqueduct.
 * Captain provides to the Strike Drones summoned by.
 * If Captain gives to an, he provides  to both the  itself and the  it summons.
 * A combination of OGM-72 'DIABLO' Strike and Beacon: Shocking allows for a dangerous combination as the beacon can group up a large amount of enemies and then the OGM-72 'DIABLO' Strike can kill all of the enemies once it strikes.
 * Crowbars go well with the OGM-72 'DIABLO' Strike.
 * OGM-72 ‘DIABLO’ Strike pairs well with Bandolier due to it’s long cooldown.
