Predatory Instincts

The Predatory Instincts is an item in Risk of Rain that increases the player's attack speed every time the player lands a critical hit.

You can see how many times this item has activated by looking at the colored strikes that appear above the survivor's head each time a critical hit is landed. The first critical hit will create yellow strikes, the second one will turn them orange and the third will turn it red. Landing a critical hit when you already had one will reset the timer before the boost wears off.

Item Synergies

 * Stacks additively with Soldier's Syringe.

Trivia

 * The variables stored in memory show an 11% attackspeed increase even though the item log says 10%.
 * Getting this Item more than three times only increases the crit chance.

Bugs

 * In Co-op, if the huntress dies before the wisp spawns and another player kills it, you still unlock this item because the huntress technically didn't take damage.
