Glowing Meteorite

The  is a returning equipment in Risk of Rain 2.

When active, "meteors" will hit the ground near enemies and players all over the map for 20 seconds, though there is no actual projectile that hits the ground. The game instead creates explosions wherever the "meteors" hit. The blasts deal 600% damage to both players and monsters, and have a proc coefficient of 1.0.

While the item is active, blue glowing rings appear indicating incoming explosions, allowing players to navigate accordingly in relative safety. However, the random distribution of strikes can cause potentially unavoidable scenarios.
