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 for 3 seconds.

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.
 * If you pick up a Predatory Instincts item during the activation of this item (attack speed buff), this BUG will decrease your base attack speed.
 * Reason: When you pick up a new Predatory Instincts item during the attack speed buff, your current attack speed is NOT increased instantly. However, when the buff ends in 3 seconds, the attack speed that deducted from you will be recalculated based on the new Predatory Instincts amount. (Thanks to User:Pandaman018)
