The Crowdfunder

 is an equipment in Risk of Rain 2.

It is different from most equipment in that it has no cooldown; instead, activating the Crowdfunder toggles it between an "on" and "off" state. When activated, the Crowdfunder will slowly increase its fire rate and visibly spin faster, firing 15 shots per second at maximum speed. Each bullet fired from the Crowdfunder deals 100% damage with a proc coefficient of 1.0, and also costs the player 1 gold (though this cost scales with the holder's level). The Crowdfunder is often regarded as one of the best equipment items in the game.

If the player has no gold remaining, the Crowdfunder automatically becomes inactive.

Trivia

 * While in use, the Crowdfunder makes the same sound as the slot machines (while spinning) in Ratchet and Clank 1-3, Size Matters and Secret Agent Clank.
 * This item may be a reference to the Coin Gun from Terraria, an extremely rare and powerful weapon that shoots the player's coins as bullets.
 * The Crowdfunder is unlocked by collecting $30,480 gold, a reference to the amount pledged on Kickstarter for the first Risk of Rain game.
