Bandit is a playable character in Risk of Rain 2.

A swift and sneaky fighter, the Bandit focuses on keeping on the move to catch enemies off guard and deal ruinous damage, before finishing the job with Lights Out. Between his daggers, smoke bombs, and gun attacks, the Bandit emphasizes mobility and versatility but also requires some skill to bring out his true potential.

Skills

Passive

Backstab
Type	Passive
Description	All attacks from behind are Critical Strikes.
Notes
"Behind" a target is defined as anywhere in the 180-degree hemisphere behind it. The direction from Bandit to the target is used to determine the attack angle. As a result, an enemy facing Bandit but hit from an explosion from behind will not be a backstab critical hit (although it may critically hit for other reasons). Only lateral direction is considered; how much a target may be looking upwards or downwards at the time is irrelevant.

Notes

Blast

Notes
Agile [ Agile ] The skill can be used while sprinting. . Applies upward momentum to Bandit at the start and end of the ability's duration when activated in the air. Provides a small speed boost for the duration of the ability. Using any skill during the ability will instantly make Bandit exit invisibility, triggering the second hit as normal. Activating an equipment will not. Using Smoke Bomb again while still invisible will cause Bandit to end the first Smoke Bomb's effects, momentarily becoming visible, before starting the effects of the second as normal.

Special

Lights Out
Type	Special
Cooldown	4s
Proc Coefficient	1.0
Description	Slayer [ Slayer ] The skill deals 2% more damage per 1% of health the target has lost, up to 3x damage. . Fire a revolver shot for 600% damage. Kills reset all your cooldowns.

This also includes Bandit's primary weapon.

Desperado
Type	Special

Proc Coefficient	1.0
Description	Slayer [ Slayer ] The skill deals 2% more damage per 1% of health the target has lost, up to 3x damage. . Fire a revolver shot for 600% damage. Kills grant stacking tokens for 10% more Desperado damage.
Notes
Unlocked via the Bandit: B&E Challenge. (As Bandit, kill the final boss with 'Lights Out'.) Landing a kill with Desperado gives Bandit one stack of the Bandit Skull Bandit Skull (Buff) Increase damage per stack.Gain 10% damage per stack. (stackable) buff. Since kills are tracked with a buff, all bonus damage is lost upon advancing to the next stage. Each stack of the buff increases Desperado's total damage by 10%, so each provides a 60% base damage boost.

Tips

• Burst and Blast reload faster if Bandit's gun is empty, rather than if there are bullets remaining in the chamber.

• Rapid-firing Burst and Blast drastically increases the spread of the weapons. Pacing shots is necessary for hitting targets at longer ranges.

• Both Serrated Dagger and Serrated Shiv reset Bandit's aerial momentum, which can be used to prevent fall damage.

• Use Smoke Bomb to get the most use out of Bandit's Backstab passive, allowing the player to reposition behind enemies while they're unaware.

• Since Smoke Bomb moves Bandit upward while in the air, it can effectively be used as an extra jump to increase mobility or to prevent fall damage.

• Using a skill to exit Smoke Bomb early while airborne will make Bandit perform a mid-air jump from Smoke Bomb ending.

• The explosive tar pots in the Abandoned Aqueduct can be shot with Lights Out or Desperado, and will activate the corresponding on-kill effect.
  • Shooting the tar pots with Lights Out makes completing the Classic Man challenge considerably easier.

• Bizarrely, Smoke Bomb increases its number of hits the more players there are. One use of Smoke Bomb in 4-player game can hit more than 4 times, while it can hit only once in a singleplayer game. This is likely a bug.

• Many void items are unusually strong with Bandit.

Lore.

A few drinks here, a few laughs there. A few more drinks. A sleight of hand – and bang, keycard access to the loading bay of the Safe Travels. The camo suit can handle the rest.

A secret mission means low profile – and low security. Besides, everyone is wearing environment suits before we leave orbit. How would they know?

I mean, it’s the goddamn Contact Light. Think of how much those higher security chests could flip for! And some of the militech on that ship? Howdy hey. That’s probably what some of the other boys were thinking, sneaking onto that ship in the first place.

My coat? 

I’m a thief - not a plumber. Of course I’m bringing my coat.
