Four Megabonk characters join Risk of Rain 2 as new survivors and bring a Megabonk run with them. Each one is rebuilt from your own Megabonk install every time the game starts: model, textures, animations, weapon models, icons, names, bosses and music. Nothing from Megabonk is in the download.
The roster
- Megachad (Aura): Megabonk's strongest man crash-landed on Petrichor V. He doesn't aim and he doesn't hide: he flexes, and his weapons do the rest.
- Passive: Arsenal.
- Skills: Flex, Big Bonk, Bonk Dash, and Giga, Megachad's Giga skin for 8 s, with every weapon firing twice as fast plus an extra projectile.
- Fox (Firestaff): A wandering fox wizard who trusts the dice more than any spellbook. Fire, lightning and a lucky roll are all he carries.
- Passive: RNG Blessing gives +1 luck on every Risk of Rain 2 proc and one more level-up card.
- Skills: Firestaff, Lightning Staff, Turbo Socks, and Gamba for a free level-up card.
- Calcium (Bone, on his skateboard): A skeleton on a skateboard who never stops moving. The longer he keeps rolling, the faster he goes and the harder his bones hit.
- Passive: Speed Demon builds speed and damage every second and halves when he gets hit.
- Skills: Bone, Skuleg, Turbo Skates, Flowstate.
- Sir Oofie (Sword): A knight sealed in armor nobody has ever seen him take off. Nothing gets past his shield, and nothing survives the Hero Sword.
- Passive: Reinforced gives extra armor, and every 10 armor adds 5% damage.
- Skills: Sword, Aegis, Spiky Shield, Hero Sword.
A Megabonk run inside your Risk of Rain 2 run
- Weapons fire on their own: Aura, Firestaff, Bone, Sword, Revolver, Bananarang and Lightning Staff.
- XP gems: kills drop gems that fly to you.
- Level-up cards: each level-up pauses the action and offers three Megabonk weapon or tome cards on a pixel-art level-up screen. You can hold up to 4 weapons and 4 tomes.
Mythic: the Ghost
- A new item tier above legendary, with its own colour.
- Megabonk's Ghost item, with its spectral moai, can turn up when a chest opens or drop from a teleporter boss.
- Using an interactable then has a 5% chance (+2.5% per stack, luck counts) to summon a spectral Megabonk boss for 15 s (+5 s per stack). The bosses are Big Bob, Calcium's Dad, Lil' Anubis, Bark Vader, Chunkham the Terrible, Scorpionussy and the Stone Golem.
- Each boss has its own Megabonk model and animation and its own attack. Its hits count as yours.
Megabonk's music
- The pause menu has a Music button.
- It switches between Risk of Rain 2's music, Megabonk's songs and silence:
- the Megachad, Calcium and Dicy themes;
- the forest, desert and graveyard boss themes;
- the main menu theme.
- It remembers your choice and follows the game's volume settings.
Risk of Rain 2 items join in
- Attack speed, crit, damage, on-hit and on-kill items all power the Megabonk weapons.
- Backup Magazine adds a projectile to every weapon.
- 57 Leaf Clover adds a level-up card.
- Ignition Tank makes the Firestaff burn harder.
- Ukulele makes Bones bounce more.
- Paul's Goat Hoof builds Speed Demon faster.
- Teleporter bosses drop a free level-up card.
- The items you carry are shown on each character, placed and sized for that character's own skeleton.
