The Hit List

The The Hit List is a item in Risk of Rain that marks enemies at random on the screen. Killing a marked enemy will result in a permanent damage increase of 0.5 to a cap of 20 damage. This means that the effect of this item stops adding permanent bonus damage after killing 40 marked enemies. Enemies are marked at random and if they are not killed quickly enough another enemy will be marked instead. The amount of killed enemies for this item can be seen above the abilities bar on the HUD, indicated by tally marks.

Obtaining
To unlock this item: All you have to do is, when you use the Bandit's fourth ability,, you have to kill an enemy; you have to do this 15 times consecutively (although you don't need to use Lights Out consecutively). The easiest way to do this is to weaken enemies with your other abilities and then use Lights Out when you're sure it will kill them.

It is highly recommended to use the Glass artifact as using lights out a lot when on the first level will instantly kill most enemies.

Bugs
Sometimes it is possible for The Hit List to mark a Magma Worm that's still above ground but already dead. In this case you are unable to complete the mark.
