The Electric Boomerang is an Item in Risk of Rain 2, introduced in the Seekers of the Storm DLC.

Upon hitting an enemy there is a 15% chance to fire an electric boomerang that travels a short distance before returning, dealing 124% (+124% per stack) base damage with a proc coefficient of 1.0 and stunning any enemies hit. The initial shot and the return trip count as separate attacks, allowing the boomerang to hit twice. Additionally, after the initial strike, the boomerang deals 40% (+40% per stack) base damage rapidly with a proc coefficient of 0.2.

Notes[]

  • Correction: the boomerang deals 124% damage instead of 120%, which may be unintended. The additional 120% base damage is not always accurate, as the boomerage deals 40% damage every 2 frame while piercing an enemy. For very small enemies this will strike only 1-2 times, for medium-sized enemies 2-3 times, and for larger enemies 4+ times.

Tips[]

  • While the Boomerang benefits from survivors with high fire rate, such as CommandoCommandoThe Commando is a jack-of-all-trades character that is reliable in all situations of the game.

      and other survivors equipped to engage enemies from a greater distance will not see much benefit out of this item.
  • Due to the Boomerang's flying straight forwards when fired and not homing on to monsters, Engineer's turrets get great use out of this item as they will always be looking at enemies as long as they are close enough. On the other hand, HuntressHuntressThe Huntress is an extremely mobile but fragile survivor with a high damage output.

The camp is not well. Blood, thorns and worse litter the area. Days old. He almost made it. He wanders numbly through the wreckage to salvage what he can, eyes empty.
Inside the science vessel Private Gupta finds the roster exceeds the graves he dug. Maybe some escaped. Checking crew quarters, Gupta gasps and rushes up to a mounted metallic boomerang like an old friend.
Hesitating, he pulls it from the wall. He recognizes the signature, his mom’s favorite retired ShockRunner player, ’Joseph Tharson’, of The Volts. His grip tightens as he eases shakily to a knee. Maybe he was meant to survive after all.
