Defensive Microbots

 are a new item in Risk of Rain 2. They intercept and destroy nearby projectiles, such as fireballs. Hitscan attacks, like shots or  lasers, cannot be blocked by Defensive Microbots regardless of the distance between the item holder and the attacker.

Despite being of Legendary rarity, Defensive Microbots cannot be found in Chests, traded for using Cauldrons or 3D Printers, or obtained through any other typical method. They are near-exclusive to the, who is granted one due to his passive skill of the same name.
