The Trophy Hunter's Tricorn is an equipment in Risk of Rain 2, introduced in the Survivors of the Void expansion.

The Tricorn cannot be activated in most circumstances; it can only be used when the user is aiming at a boss monster that has an associated boss item, in which case a ghostly diamond-shaped reticle will appear over the monster in question. Activating the Trophy Hunter's Tricorn while this reticle is active will instantly kill that monster, and cause the corresponding item to drop from the point where it dies. The Trophy Hunter's Tricorn is then "consumed," replacing the ghostly, incorporeal version of the hat with a standard-looking tricorn, and removing the floating blunderbuss entirely.

Activating the consumed Tricorn will send the message "Ahoy!" in the chat, as if typed by the player using it. This ability has a cooldown of 60 seconds.

Tips

• Keep in mind that activating the Tricorn will put the equipment slot it occupies on a 60 second cooldown, despite its primary effect being single-use. This may cause a delay in usability if the player plans to swap to another equipment item promptly after using the Tricorn, or if the Artifact of Enigma is enabled.
  • Technically the Tricorn has a cooldown of 0 seconds and its consumed counterpart has 60 seconds. Upon activation, the transformation takes place before calculating the cooldown based from the current equipment. However, this makes the Tricorn, along with the Survivors of the Void - DLC Content

This may result in the dropped item being unobtainable if the boss in question is over a pit or some otherwise inaccessible terrain at the time, or may net the player a boss item that they are uninterested in.
• Since this item is single-use and cannot be activated at all under most circumstances, giving it to an Equipment Drone might be worth considering, as this can free up the player's personal equipment slot for something more useful in the long-term. However, this also means that the Equipment Drone will automatically use it to execute the first boss enemy it sees, so the aforementioned Gesture caveat also applies here.
  • Note that once an Equipment Drone has used the Tricorn's one-off boss-slaying effect, it will be replaced with the consumed version of the Tricorn, and the Drone will begin saying "Ahoy!" in the game chat about once every 12 seconds. While it will function as little more than a pirate-themed target for enemies to shoot at until it breaks, this does at least allow it to draw some fire away from any nearby players. An already-consumed Tricorn can also be given to an Equipment Drone, much to the same effect.
• The consumed Tricorn's "Ahoy!" has a hard second cooldown of two seconds. This cooldown can be reached with sufficient Fuel CellsFuel Cell

Lore

"I've always thought," said Rainsford, "that the Bighorn Bison is the most dangerous of all big game."

For a moment the general did not reply; he was smiling his curious red-lipped smile. Then he said slowly, "No. You are wrong, sir. The Bighorn Bison is not the most dangerous big game." He sipped his wine. "Here in my preserve on this planet," he said in the same slow tone, "I hunt more dangerous game."

"...Sir?" General Hadbury turned to Rainsford. "Tell me, Rainsford, what makes game... dangerous?" Rainsford thought for a moment. "...The, er, size, sir? Big animals are often pretty tough to take down." Habury nodded. "Indeed, size can be important, but that's not it. In my eye, what makes game dangerous is... intelligence." Hadbury met Rainsford's gaze with a twinkle in his eye.

"The best hunt is always a match of wits. Say I were to lay some traps - how would I go about disguising them so that my prize won't spot them from a mile away? It makes things so much more fun, you see." Hadbury turned, walking towards the railing of the balcony overlooking his reserve. "There's no fun to the hunt, or any game for that matter, if there is no risk involved... if there is no story to the prize. That is why, dear Rainsford, my halls are decorated with the spoils of hunts that could only be described as legendary." Hadbury's red-lipped smile grew into a red-lined grin. "Now get the men ready, for we are going to hunt."

  Umbra: Test Subject, the spectral blunderbuss that usually appears next to a player with the Trophy Hunter's Tricorn will appear to be both backwards and upside-down. It is unclear whether this is meant to reflect how the character in question is an animal with no knowledge of how guns work, or if the unusual placement is simply a developer oversight.
