Fuel Array

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

It 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.

Activating the Fuel Array starts a short timer; when the countdown ends, it triggers a 30m explosion that deals severe fixed damage; both the holder and any enemies in range are damaged for 300% of the holder's maximum health and suffer heavy knockback. This explosion has a proc coefficient of 0.0.

When the Fuel Array is activated and explodes, it is destroyed and removed from the player's inventory, regardless of any they have.

Additionally, if the holder ever falls below 50% of their max HP, the Fuel Array automatically activates.

The main purpose of the Fuel Array is for repairing the broken robot in. If the player interacts with the robot while they have a Fuel Array equipped, it will clear the Power Plant challenge and unlock as a playable Survivor. This will also remove the Fuel Array from the player's inventory.

Tips

 * The Fuel Array's explosion does not bypass one-shot protection, so it can theoretically be weaponized to deal massive area damage if the player's one-shot protection is active.
 * can make excellent use of the Fuel Array's volatile nature, as his will also have their own Fuel Arrays. While this does cut their lifespan short, they will explode when sufficiently damaged and inflict colossal damage on any enemies nearby.
 * This is especially effective when using Engineer's, which will charge straight towards enemies.
 * This strategy is much more feasible in multiplayer runs than singleplayer, as dying from the Fuel Array will not immediately end the run.
