MUL-T

MUL-T is a playable character in Risk of Rain 2.

Tips

 * Auto-Nailgun experiences Damage Falloff.
 * Use Blast Canister in the downtime of your Rebar Puncher to maximize damage output.
 * Transport Mode's armor also applies to fall damage. Use it before landing.
 * Ramming into a larger enemy such as a Stone Golem will stun the enemy and instantly end Transport Mode. Smaller enemies won't be stunned, but MUL-T can plow through them to deal damage to everything in an area.
 * There exists a stat per attack called "proc coefficient", which defines how strong or frequent procs happen on an on-hit basis. MUL-T's Auto-Nailgun has a low proc coefficient per nail of 0.6 compared to most character's 1.0, to counteract its high fire rate which would otherwise lead to a very high volume of item procs.
 * Due to the Rebar Puncher's high single shot damage, it synergizes incredibly well with the . A couple stacked up can keep you one-shotting even Stone Golems for a good while, and take a good chunk out of any boss. If going for this build it is important to remember to avoid buying gunner drones as they can lower enemies below the threshold for your bonus damage.
 * You can rapid fire with Rebar Puncher by equipping it to both the primary and misc loadout slots and cycling weapons with Retool, effectively reducing the cooldown time between shots by 1.3 seconds. Holding the keybinds for both primary fire and Retool will automatically rapid fire this way, doing this will fire faster than holding down primary fire until you get 360% attack speed.
 * The Power-Saw can be used both while sprinting and when Transport Mode is active.
 * The Power-Saw receives a proc/tick increase for attack speed buffs.
 * Auto-Nailgun will fire its burst if you cancel it into Transport Mode, but not Blast Canister or Retool. Remember to let go before using those skills.
 * is great to increase the amount that you can use Blast Canister, making it essential when surrounded by a large group of enemies from either side.
 * The Power-Saw, with its high attack speed and proc chance, is great when combined with items such as Ukulele and Stun Grenade.

Trivia

 * MUL-T's "Janitor" skin is a reference to the Risk of Rain Survivor, HAN-D.
