Fuel Array

The Fuel Array is a single-use equipment in Risk of Rain 2, added in the Scorched Acres Update.

 Obtaining: 

The Fuel Array can only be obtained during the first stage, by interacting with a hatch on the back of the escape pod that the player spawns from.

 Usage: 

Activating the Fuel Array will cause a short timer, ending with an explosive that is guaranteed to kill the player. (Current damage % to player and enemies unknown.)

Interacting with Rex in the Abyssal Depths stage with Fuel Array in the player's equipment slot will unlock Rex as a playable character. This will also remove the Fuel Array from the player, as well as unlock the Power Plant challenge.

 Notes: 

-Falling below 50% HP will also force the array to explode. As such, things like fall damage, Stone Golem lasers, and other high instant-damage sources are more dangerous than normal. Currently, activating a Shrine of Blood using any character with the Fuel Array equipped is a guaranteed death.

-Due to the new drop-pod that MUL-T initially spawns from, obtaining the Fuel Array is currently impossible as MUL-T without the use of mutliplayer. This is likely to avoid using his passive ability to stash the Fuel Array into the secondary equipment slot, thus nullifying the danger of detonation via damage sustained.

-If the Fuel Array explodes, either from manual activation or from damage, it will be destroyed, regardless of any obtained Fuel Cells. As such, even with Dio's Best Friend, or if Tougher Times negates the damage (Unknown if this is possible), any attempts at using the Fuel Array for Rex or other interactions is impossible.

-In multiplayer, it is possible to obtain multiple fuel cells, including interacting with another player's escape pod.
