Backup Magazine

The Backup Magazine is a new item in Risk of Rain 2. It gives the player the ability to hold an additional charge of their secondary, or "M2" skill. Unlike Hardlight Afterburner, this item does not reduce the cooldown of your secondary skill. It allows you to throw out a quick burst of damage by spam clicking your secondary attack button.

This is an item that cannot be overlooked for any character. Having the ability to charge two Nano-Bombs or throw two Glaives in quick succession can be extremely powerful early-game, but the usefulness quickly tapers off as you get further into a run.

Trivia

 * Upon picking up his first Backup Magazine, Commando seems to attach it on the clip of both of his guns.
