The H3AD-5T v2 is an item in Risk of Rain 2.

As the holder falls, they can "lock on" to the nearest enemy by holding the "interact" key (default "E" on keyboard). This causes them to fall much faster than normal, and when they hit the ground, they create an explosion whose damage and size scale with the distance they fell. The damage dealt ranges from 1000%-10000% in a 5m-100m radius, and the explosion takes 10 seconds (-50% per stack) to recharge.

While the explosive ability is ready, the H3AD-5T v2 also increases the player's jump height.

Additionally, the H3AD-5T v2 negates all fall damage taken, regardless of whether the explosive ability is ready or not.

Mechanics[]

  • Idle
    • While idle, the [interact] button must be held down for at least 0.25 seconds before transitioning to the charge state.
  • Charge:
    • While in the charge state, the input must be held for another 0.6 seconds to enter the fall state. Letting go will return back to the idle state. Entering the charge state will decelerate towards 1 m/s vertically at an acceleration of 30.
      • Letting go of the input before entering the fall state can be used to extend the distance of some horizontal jumps slightly.
  • Fall:
    • While in the fall state, the user will initially fall downwards at 30 m/s, with an acceleration at a rate of 100m/s2 with a max fall speed of 500 m/s.
    • The minimum distance must be greater than the starting position, so the user won't cause the impact while grounded or very close to grounded.
    • If there is an enemy below within 300m, then the user will be slowly moved towards its position while falling.
  • Impact
    • The impact has a minimum damage coefficient of 10 (1000%) and a maximum of 100 (10,000%), with a radius scaling from 5m to 100m. To reach maximum damage, the user must fall for 150m.
    • This impact can crit, and knocks enemies back with an outward force of 200 * scalingDamageCoefficient and a vertical force of 2000. This explosion suffers from Sweet Spot falloff.
    • This blast has a proc coefficient of 1.0.
    • If the user somehow loses all stacks of H3AD-5T v2 mid-fall, the impact will not occur.
    • The user's velocity is set to zero on impact.
    • After impact, it transitions to the cooldown state.

Lore[]

"Denizens of lower-gravity planets like Mercury historically have had trouble adjusting to life on other planets. Mercurians, with their lower bone density (left) would typically shatter their femur within a week on heavier planets. Members of asteroid-rigged flotillas and colony ships have similar issues when arriving home from space.

The invention of Kinetic Dispersion Rings (above) help alleviate the stress of heavier-than-normal gravity by converting kinetic energy into heat, sound, and light. Settlers from Mercury could finally leave their home planet in safety."

    • Reworked logic for calculating fall speed so it scales better while falling farther. Now has the following behavior:
      • Damage Coefficient: 1000% - 10,000% at maximum speed
      • Explosion Radius: 5m - 100m at maximum speed
      • Improved FX

Trivia[]

  • The H3AD-5T v2's name and effects are a reference to the Headstompers from the first Risk of Rain, which work similarly but do not cause an explosion or negate fall damage.
