REX is a playable character in Risk of Rain 2.

Tips

 * The can be particularly effective on REX as you are able to launch it into your Tangling Growth, ensnaring a large number of enemies at once which in-turn massively increases your total healing.
 * Items that trigger when you take damage (such as ) can be very effective, especially if using Seed Barrage.
 * Walking backwards, jumping, and using DIRECTIVE: Disperse at a downward angle can launch you quite a long distance in a desirable direction.
 * Using DIRECTIVE: Disperse 3 times in midair with a will push you backwards at very high speed.
 * Using Seed Barrage resets the attack cooldown of DIRECTIVE: Inject, allowing you to attack much faster than normal.
 * It is highly recommended that you avoid and  when playing REX as these items can replace your health with Shields, a type of health which cannot be recovered from healing. This can totally cripple REX as their abilities Tangling Growth, Seed Barrage, and Bramble Volley take a percentage of your health, but you are unable to recover any of it by using Tangling Growth, DIRECTIVE: Inject, or Bramble Volley.
 * It is highly recommended that you avoid when playing REX as at least one of your four skills will likely cost health to use, causing you to lose gold rapidly just by playing normally.
 * Natural Toxins, Tangling Growth, & DIRECTIVE: Harvest all count as debuffs, allowing REX to activate with only 2 additional debuffs as opposed to the usual 4.

Trivia

 * In the games files REX is known as Treebot.
 * The Smoothie skin used to be a light green & pink with blue flowers
