Railgunner is a playable character in Risk of Rain 2, unlocked by default in the Survivors of the Void expansion.

A lethal and skillful markswoman, the Railgunner fights with her eponymous railgun. In combination with powerful piercing shots and smart homing rounds, Railgunner has incredible long-range damage output and decent crowd control options. Her signature ability is the incredibly powerful, all-or-nothing Supercharge that can devastate even the strongest of enemies in a single shot.

Type Misc
Description All Critical Strike Chance is converted into Critical Strike Damage.
Notes
  • Unlike other Survivors, Railgunner cannot get random critical strikes. Instead, she is guaranteed to get critical strikes when hitting enemies' exposed weak points, and her critical strike chance increases the amount of damage her critical strikes deal.
  • Each 1% of critical strike chance becomes 1% bonus critical strike damage; for example, having 50% critical strike chance means a critical hit will deal 150% bonus damage instead of the usual 100% bonus (for a final 250% of the normal damage, instead of the usual 200%).

    Survivor: Railgunner    .
  • Scoping in takes 7 frames (0.116 seconds), after which Railgunner's primary skill becomes M99. A visual decoration expands for 6 frames afterwards. Pressing the primary button during the 7-frame scope-in results in a shot from Railgunner's unscoped primary, not an M99 shot.
  • After taking a scoped shot and unscoping, Railgunner's primary skill becomes Active Reload.png Active ReloadActive Reload.pngActive Reload (Primary)Perfectly time your reload to recover faster and to boost the damage of your next shot by +100%.
    Survivor: Railgunner     until her rifle is reloaded. While reloading, Railgunner cannot activate M99 Sniper again.
  • Unscoping takes 14 frames (0.233 seconds) when the key is released, and the reload indicator does not appear until fully unscoped.
    • Pressing the secondary button during this 14-frame window will immediately scope back in, although Railgunner must still reload once the 14 frames are up. However, this allows her to scope back in while reloading, enabling faster shots overall. If the player misses this 14-frame window, they cannot scope in again until reloaded.
  • At default attack speed, the cursor reaches the perfect reload zone 30 frames (0.5 seconds) after the reload indicator appears, allowing for a default minimum time between shots of 0.733 seconds (about 1.36 shots per second) assuming perfect inputs of both unscoping and reloading, and rescoping before fully unscoped.
    • With perfect inputs rescoping only after reloading, the default minimum time between shots is 0.849 seconds (about 1.17 shots per second).
  • Having any Backup Magazine.png Backup MagazinesBgCommon.pngBackup Magazine.pngBackup Magazine
    Add an extra charge of your Secondary skill.
    Add +1 (+1 per stack) charge of your Secondary skill.     allows Railgunner to take multiple consecutive shots (1 per second at base attack speed) before having to reload. All charges reload at once.
    • However, only the first shot taken after a perfect reload receives the bonus.

    • Unscoped Primary Fire does not apply or expend the bonus damage buff.
    • The damage bonus is indicated by a red lightning icon in the top-left corner of Railgunner's HUD.
  • Failing a perfect reload prevents Railgunner from firing again until the cursor has moved all the way across the cursor reaches the end. At default attack speed, this takes exactly 2 seconds from the moment the reload indicator appears.
  • The perfect reload zone becomes wider with increased attack speed, making perfect reloads easier.
  • The bonus damage buff is lost when firing M99.png M99M99.pngM99 (Primary)Launch a heavy projectile for 1000% damage.

  • Replaces Railgunner's primary with HH44.png HH44HH44.pngHH44 (Primary)Launch a light projectile for 400% damage.
    Survivor: Railgunner    .
  • Scoping in takes 6 frames (0.1 seconds), after which Railgunner's primary skill becomes HH44. Pressing the primary button during the 6-frame scope-in results in a shot from Railgunner's unscoped primary, not an HH44 shot.
  • Scoping in takes 6 frames (0.1 seconds). Railgunner's Primary skill is replaced with HH44 at the end of this duration.
  • Unscoping takes 30 frames (0.5 seconds), but H44 is replaced with Railgunner's normal primary immediately upon releasing the key.

  • HH44 fires 2 times per second at base attack speed.
  • Railgunner does not need to reload between shots while using HH44. While this does lower the downtime between shots, this also means she cannot benefit from perfect reloads or Backup Magazines.
  • Unlike M99, HH44 fires automatically as long as the primary key is held.
    • This allows for a near-instant shot immediately upon activating HH44 Marksman's scope.

    Survivor: Acrid    , this skill does not give fall damage immunity during its duration, so launching too high into the air can result in severe fall damage.
  • If another Concussion Device is thrown while another is active, the first one will immediately detonate.
  • Targets take no damage from the explosion itself, but if launched high enough or off a ledge, can take fall damage.
  • The force of the push is based on the target's current velocity plus some additional force. It is independent of distance from the device, though because the direction of the push is directly away from the device, airborne targets (including Railgunner herself) further away are generally pushed more level with the ground than if they are closer.
    • Because the force of the push is based on current velocity, jumping (adding vertical velocity) just before the device detonates results in a stronger push.

  • The cooldown for this ability begins upon casting. Failing to fire in time will cause the cooldown to continue uninterrupted, but taking the shot puts it on full cooldown again. It will only begin to cool down once Railgunner's weapons come back online.
  • Increased attack speed reduces both the charge time and the duration that Railgunner's weapons are disabled after firing the shot.

Behaviors

For an explanation of how these behaviors are implemented read about Enemy AI. This section only applies when the character is controlled by AI.

  1. Use special: Railgunner must be within 300m from the target and have line of sight. This behavior is active for 2 seconds and the Use Primary (Snipe) behavior is set to follow it after.
  2. Use primary and strafe: Railgunner must be within 60m from the target and have line of sight. This behavior is active for 0.5 seconds.
  3. Use secondary: Railgunner must be within 300m from the target and have line of sight. This behavior is active for 0.3 seconds. The Use Primary (Snipe) behavior is set to follow it after.
  4. Use primary (Snipe): Railgunner must be within 300m from the target. This behavior is active for 2 seconds and cannot be selected twice in a row. The primary key is held down for the duration, which means if Railgunner uses the M99 Sniper, they will miss the active reload. Similarly, for HH44 Marskman only one shot will be fired and for the remaining duration of the behavior Railgunner will behave as if firing the primary. This behavior makes poor use out of both secondary skills, while the special skills are not affected.
  5. Use utility and flee: Railgunner must be within 25m from the target.
  6. Use primary and flee: Railgunner must be within 8m from the target.
  7. Chase: no requirements.

Tips

     damage for the duration.
  • The piercing attacks of M99 Sniper and HH44 Marksman suffer from piercing damage falloff. This means that for each enemy pierced by a shot, the damage to the next enemy is halved.
    • Supercharge and Cryocharge do not have this attribute and deal the full damage on each pierced enemy.
  • Since Railgunner already has extremely high single-hit damage, she benefits greatly from picking up Crowbar.png CrowbarsBgCommon.pngCrowbar.pngCrowbar

    Add +1 (+1 per stack) charge of your Secondary skill.    . With HH44, this simply allows for faster shots overall.
  • Items that deal total damage are particularly powerful for Railgunner due to the high damage dealt by her scoped skills. Even XQR Smart Round System has a proc coefficient of 1.0, allowing it to activate on-hit items fairly consistently, similar to Commando.png Commando'sCommando.pngCommandoThe Commando is a jack-of-all-trades character that is reliable in all situations of the game.

  • The Backup Magazine.png Backup MagazineBgCommon.pngBackup Magazine.pngBackup Magazine
    Add an extra charge of your Secondary skill.
    Add +1 (+1 per stack) charge of your Secondary skill.     allows the M99 Sniper to fire multiple shots back-to-back without needing to reload. However, any subsequent shots granted by Backup Magazines will not be affected by the +500% damage increase granted by a successful active reload. The fire rate of subsequent shots is only marginally faster than Railgunner's reload speed, so stacking Backup Magazines can prevent players from taking advantage of the active reload bonus.
    • It is a valid tradeoff to exchange damage output for easier shots, especially when holding attack speed items, such as Soldier's Syringe.png Soldier's SyringeBgCommon.pngSoldier's Syringe.pngSoldier's Syringe
      Increase attack speed.
      Increases attack speed by 15% (+15% per stack).       or Predatory Instincts.png Predatory InstinctsBgUncommon.pngPredatory Instincts.pngPredatory Instincts
      'Critical Strikes' increase attack speed. Stacks 3 times.
      Gain 5% critical chance. Critical strikes increase attack speed by 12%. Maximum cap of 36% (+24% per stack) attack speed.      , which generally reduce the gap between reload and no-reload damage.
    • The HH44 Marksman secondary is unaffected by the Backup Magazine due to the lack of a reload, rendering the item useless.
  • The recoil from XQR Smart Round System can be used to change the trajectory of a Concussion Device jump. Shooting horizontally or straight down can double the distance traveled. However, when used incorrectly, this can reduce the effectiveness of a Concussion Device jump by decreasing Railgunner's speed before the mine explodes.
    • Having enough attack speed boosts makes Railgunner able to fly when shooting XQR Smart Round System downwards.
  • If timed well, Concussion Device can be used to negate fall damage. Throwing one device onto the ground and throwing a second to immediately detonate the first before hitting the ground can greatly reduce downward momentum.
    • Likewise, the recoil from XQR Smart Round System can be used to greatly mitigate fall damage. This is much easier than using a Concussion Device, albeit less effective without high attack speed.
  • The recoil from the XQR Smart Round System, M99, and HH44 is enough to deactivate Bustling Fungus.png Bustling Fungus'BgCommon.pngBustling Fungus.pngBustling Fungus

    • Monsters that move along the ground generally do not have any air control while jumping or flying through the air. Because their arc while flying through the air is very consistent, this can be an important window of opportunity to score a weak point hit on an evasive enemy. Monsters that move their weak point during their attacks similarly don't move their weak point in any unusual ways while jumping or flying through the air.
    • Even monsters that move their weak point will generally hold still, however briefly, at important times, such as for a brief period at some point during the activation time of an ability or while all their abilities are on cooldown. This, too, can be an important window of opportunity to take a shot.
    • Monsters which teleport have a brief cooldown period after teleporting during which they can't teleport again. Following a target, waiting for it to teleport, and lining up a shot during this window could mean the difference between a hit and a miss.

Lore

"Snipes aren't real."

"...What?"

"That's the point of a snipe hunt:  to send a schmuck off into the woods looking for an animal that doesn't exist."

"...Except they totally exist."

"Haha, sure."

"No, really.  They're birds back on Earth.  Tiny, camouflaged birds.  Ever wonder why we call sharpshooters 'snipers'?  Because they're good enough to hit a snipe."

"No kidding?"

"Cross my heart and hope to die."

"Huh."

"You know, rails are a kind of bird too."

"Get out."

  • Railgunner is the successor to the Risk of Rain 1 character, Sniper. Sniper was originally planned to appear in Risk of Rain 2, as weak point data for many enemies existed in the game unused, but they were ultimately scrapped and reworked later into Railgunner.
    • In reference to this, Railgunner's Mastery skin heavily resembles the Sniper. The backpack of the Mastery skin even has Sniper's Spotter drone at the bottom, possibly implying that the skin is meant to be Sniper themselves.
  • While Railgunner's HUD will usually read "All systems nominal" with an orange tint, the color will change to red and the text will read "System Error - Unknown Input Detected" whenever she has Visions of Heresy.png Visions of HeresyBgLunar.pngVisions of Heresy.pngVisions of Heresy
