The Spare Drone Parts are an item in Risk of Rain 2, added in the Survivors of the Void expansion.

The holder gains an ally, Colonel Droneman, who respawns every stage if destroyed. All the holder's allied drones get +50% attack speed (+50% per stack), have their cooldowns reduced by 50% (-50% per stack), have a 10% chance to fire a missile on hit that deals 300% total damage (similar to the AtG Missile Mk. 1 AtG Missile Mk. 1BgUncommonAtG Missile Mk. 1AtG Missile Mk. 1

), and get a chain gun that fires 6 shots for 100% damage each which can ricochet to 2 other enemies.

Notes[]

  • This item benefits all mechanical allies of the holder. This means that, in addition to the usual drones, these allies are also empowered:

    • If the Equipment Drone has a Goobo Jr., the Gummy Equipment Drones spawned will also be affected by the Spare Drone Parts. The same goes for Strike Drones summoned if the Equipment Drone has The Back-up.

  • The chain gun gained from the Spare Drone Parts is attached to the existing spinning guns on Gunner Drone Gunner Drones and TC-280 Prototype TC-280 Prototypes, meaning the extra gun will flail wildly when the main one is firing.
  • When this item is lost, e.g., with a Scrapper, Shrine of Order, or 3D Printer, Col. Droneman will not be removed as an ally. Whenever getting this item, the player will always gain a copy of Col. Droneman, even if they already have one. This can be observed when the Mithrix final bossMithrixMithrix

    Armor: 20
    steals the item in his final phase and it is later returned to the player.

Tips[]

  • Be advised that when Mithrix steals this item during his fourth phase, he will not gain a Col. Droneman himself but will leave the player's droneman defenceless by removing all bonuses to any drones the player has. (Col. Droneman does not actually have any attacks and its only source of damage is the generic chaingun that every drone gets when holding this item)
    • When the item is returned, the player will obtain a second Col. Droneman and both drones will obtain the chaingun as well (assuming the first one survives until then).
    • There is currently a bug on all console editions of ror2 where Mithrix will steal this item and will gain a Col. Droneman, so pick up spare drone parts at your discretion.
  • This item augments damage drones, while providing healing and utility drones an attack to contribute in offensive ways.
  • This item synergizes well with a Captain CaptainCaptainCaptainThe Captain is a unique survivor that can control the battlefield with utility and damage - with help from the UES Safe Travels.

    drone build. While Defensive Microbots (Skill) his passiveDefensive MicrobotsDefensive Microbots (Passive)Passively gain Microbots that shoot down nearby enemy projectiles. Drones are also given Microbots.
    Survivor: Captain
    provides defensive measures against most monsters, the Spare Drone Parts allows drone minions to deal considerably more damage. In addition, Spare Drone Parts' attack speed boost means Defensive Microbots can delete projectiles more frequently.
  • Although it is tempting to gather as many drones as possible, keep in mind the ally limit of 15; past this point, allies cannot be spawned by items or equipment (e.g. the Empathy Cores or The Back-up). If too many small drones or non-drone allies are on the team, these more powerful drone allies cannot be summoned once destroyed, lowering the team's damage output. This may not be much of an issue, however, since the weaponry provided by the Spare Drone Parts is so powerful to begin with.

Lore[]

//--AUTO-TRANSCRIPTION FROM UES [Redacted] --//

"Y'see those new drone models they approved for us? Never thought I'd see 'em in person, if I'm being honest."

"Yeah, for sure. Only the big wigs had access to tech like that... Makes you wonder what we're up against. I mean, everyone's heard the stories, but..."

"Ah, I wouldn't worry. After all, y'know my buddy Jim?"

"From hardware?"

"Yeah, him. Dude's a savant, let me tell you. He got fired from every other branch he worked at for "unlawful modification of company property," and "weapons systems beyond what's legal for citizens to own"."

"Huh. Crazy."

"Mhm. I recommended him for this mission, since I figured we'd need everything we could get our hands on... Luckily, the Captain saw his potential. I just, uh..."

[Fire alarms begin to sound as a fire breaks out in Workshop 23-B. Drones, equipped with buzzsaws, chase technicians down the hall]

"...Hope he doesn't mind the noise."

Trivia[]

  • The Spare Drone Parts are the successor to an item in the first Risk of Rain, the Arms Race, which worked in a similar manner.
  • Prior to 1.2.2.0, it was possible for an Engineers' Turret to obtain their own Colonel Droneman. This is no longer the case.
  • There is a 10% chance for the chaingun and missile to be replaced with a handgun attached to an arm. This difference however, is purely cosmetic.
