Item Synergies
Engineer (Risk of Rain 2)
 * The Auto-Turrets & TR58 Carbonizer Turret inherit most items the Engineer holds at the moment they are placed. For example, picking up Bustling Fungus causes them to start healing themselves and any nearby turrets or players soon after being placed. This is regarded as one of the most powerful items for the Engineer.
 * TR58 Carbonizer Turret are mobile and not stationary, so the use of Bustling Fungus is greatly diminished.
 * It's recommended to specifically grab items that benefit turrets rather than the player, since as mentioned above turrets make up a very large portion of the Engineer's damage output.
 * Be aware that turrets will not get items when you pick them up. You have to re-deploy the turrets for them to actually inherit the items.
 * A Leeching Seed will heal the turret rather than the player when it deals damage.
 * Infusion grants bonus life to the turret that killed the enemy, not the player.
 * Dio's Best Friend revives a turret once, but only if the inherited Friend was unused. After the player is revived, the turrets inherit a used Friend.
 * The Bandolier is a surprisingly effective item for an engineer as picking up an ammo pack immediately recharges the long cooldowns of Bubble Shield and Auto-Turret, as well as giving one Pressure Mine, 4 of which can be held.
