Risk of Rain Returns proved to be a fantastic remake of the original title. It brings new items, things to find, and new survivors. For the latter, though, many might want to stick to the default ones in Risk of Rain Returns, such as the Huntress, who can be a killing machine if you know how to build her. With the randomness of the game, it might be hard to get all things, but during every run, you should always keep an eye out for the best items for this survivor.

The Huntress is a fantastic long-range DPS character in Risk of Rain Returns that can guide you to victory without issues. However, it is important to know how to use her. Before we delve into items, let’s check her skills.
| Skill | Details |
|---|---|
| Strafe | Fire an arrow for 120% damage. |
| Laser Glaive | Throw a glaive that bounces to up to 4 enemies for 300% damage. |
| Blink | Teleport forward a small distance. |
| Cluster Bomb | Fire an explosive arrow for 320% damage. The arrow drops bomblets that detonate for 6×80% damage. |
Now that you’ve seen her skills (or the default ones, at least), let’s look at the best items you can get for her.
| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| Lens Maker’s Glasses | Your attacks have a 10% chance to critically hit. |
| Rusty Knife | 15% to bleed an enemy. |
| Mysterious Vial | Increases health regeneration by 0.84. |
| Monster Tooth | Killing an enemy heals you. |
| Soldier’s Syringe | Increases attack speed by 12%. |
| Crowbar | Deal +50% damage to enemies above 80% HP. |
| Backup Magazine | Get another charge for your secondary skill. |
| Gasoline | Killing enemies burns the ground for 60% damage. |
| Rusty Jetpack | Decrease gravity and increase jump height. |
| Leeching Seed | Attacking enemies heals you. |
| Prison Shackles | Slow enemies on hit. |
| Red Whip | Leaving combat for 2 seconds boosts your speed. |
The trick about playing with the Huntress in Risk of Rain Returns is ensuring she stays as mobile as possible. While she already has some great skills that make her fast, you should prioritize items that improve upon that.
Yet that doesn’t mean you should grab any other items you see. We recommend the ones above as must-haves; still, you can mix and match others to make your own destructive build.
