H3AD-5T v2

The H3AD-5T v2 is an item in Risk of Rain 2.

As the holder falls, they can "lock on" to the nearest enemy by holding the "interact" key (default "E" on keyboard). This causes them to fall much faster than normal, and when they hit the ground, they create an explosion whose damage and size scale with the distance they fell. This explosion takes 10 seconds (-50% per stack) to recharge.

While the explosive ability is ready, the H3AD-5T v2 also increases the player's jump height.

Additionally, the H3AD-5T v2 negates all fall damage taken, regardless of whether the explosive ability is ready or not.

With sufficient horizontal speed, running and jumping into the bottom of a slope will send the player flying into the air, gaining great height to crash down with using the H3AD-5T v2.
