Loader is the latest survivor to arrive in Risk of Rain 2, introduced with the Skills 2.0 update. Locked behind his little quest, you will have to complete the “Guardian Offline” challenge to unlock it. Loader brings awesome mechanical weapons to the party. It is above all about getting closer to you and making good use of your big metal fists.
Charger capacities
Scrap barrier
Loader is safe from fall damage. Hitting enemies with Loader's Gauntlets creates a temporary barrier.
Knuckleboom
Strikes nearby enemies for 320% damage.
Fist grapple
Pull your glove forward, pulling yourself towards the target.
Charged Gauntlet
Load up a massive punch for 600% - 2700% damage that pushes you forward. Deals much more damage the faster you move.
M551 pylon
Launch a floating pylon that takes out up to 6 nearby enemies and deals 100% damage to them. Can also be attacked.
Loader consists of approaching enemies closely and hitting them. His grappling ability allows him to cross levels and quickly reduce distance quickly. You can also tackle enemies in the air which is hilarious as you can gain a lot of speed while swinging and then smash something with your Charge Gauntlet ability. Its liabilities make it extremely heavy.
It's good to see another close quarters fighter come into the game, and Loader joins Mercenary as a survivor who will appeal to people who like to play the risky game of the need to be as close to enemies as possible. It works exceptionally well with the new Focus crystal item, and attack speed items will increase how quickly you can swing those mental fists, adding tremendous value to your passive.
