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. 1AtG Missile Mk. 1
Chance to fire a missile.
10% chance to fire a missile that deals 300% (+300% per stack) TOTAL damage.), and get a chain gun that fires 6 shots for 100% damage each which can ricochet to 2 other enemies.

• Since the Equipment Drone is affected by the Spare Drone Parts, it can attack enemies without using its equipment. This also means equipment that were previously useless for Equipment Drones, like the Ocular HUD60sOcular HUD
  Gain +100% Critical Strike Chance for 8 seconds., may have newfound purpose.
  • 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.
• If the Artifact of Swarms is active, one Spare Drone Parts will result in two Col. Droneman spawning with half health.
• The chain gun gained from the Spare Drone Parts is attached to the existing spinning guns on Gunner Drones and 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 final bossMithrix

  Damage: 16 (+3.2 per level)
  Class: Melee / Ranged
  Speed: 15 m/s
  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 defenseless 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).
• This item augments damage drones, while providing healing and utility drones an attack to contribute in offensive ways.
• This item synergizes well with a CaptainCaptainThe Captain is a unique survivor that can control the battlefield with utility and damage - with help from the UES Safe Travels.

  Umbra: Tired Veteran drone build. While his passiveDefensive 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.
• 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."

Survivors of the Void

• (Undocumented) Added New Item: Spare Drone Parts

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.
• The extra chain gun from the Spare Drone Parts can be seen mounted on each individual drone. However, there is a 10% chance that a small mechanical arm holding a gun will be mounted on the drone instead. This difference is purely cosmetic.
• Spare Drone Parts used to grant Col. Droneman to Engineer Turrets.
