User:Sheep
Template:ItemPage The Sheep is a lunar item in Risk of Rain 2.
The first Gesture of the Drowned reduces the holder's equipment cooldown by half, but activates it as soon as it is ready.
Subsequent Gestures reduce equipment cooldown by 15% each, the same amount as a Template:ItemLink.
Math
The equipment cooldown is determined by the formula cooldown ⋅ 0.5 ⋅ (1 - 0.15) ^ (amount - 1)
| Amount | 15s | 20s | 30s | 45s | 60s | 100s | 140s | % reduction |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 7.5 | 10 | 15 | 22.5 | 30 | 50 | 70 | 50% |
| 2 | 6.4 | 8.5 | 12.8 | 19.1 | 25.5 | 42.5 | 59.5 | 57.5% |
| 3 | 5.4 | 7.2 | 10.8 | 16.3 | 21.7 | 36.1 | 50.6 | 63.9% |
| 4 | 4.6 | 6.1 | 9.2 | 13.8 | 18.4 | 30.7 | 43 | 69.3% |
| 5 | 3.9 | 5.2 | 7.8 | 11.7 | 15.7 | 26.1 | 36.5 | 73.9% |
| 6 | 3.3 | 4.4 | 6.7 | 10 | 13.3 | 22.2 | 31.1 | 77.8% |
| 7 | 2.8 | 3.8 | 5.7 | 8.5 | 11.3 | 18.9 | 26.4 | 81.1% |
| 8 | 2.4 | 3.2 | 4.8 | 7.2 | 9.6 | 16 | 22.4 | 84% |
| 9 | 2 | 2.7 | 4.1 | 6.1 | 8.2 | 13.6 | 19.1 | 86.4% |
| 10 | 1.7 | 2.3 | 3.5 | 5.2 | 6.9 | 11.6 | 16.2 | 88.4% |
- If the player has any Template:ItemLink, add that amount to the amount of Gestures of the Drowned (as long as the player has at least one Gesture).
Interactions
- Only Template:SurvivorLink active equipment will be activated by this item. The secondary equipment will not be used until it is swapped to via Template:SkillLink. This can be exploited to avoid the automatic activation for certain items, such as the Template:ItemLink.
- Despite inheriting any held equipment, Template:SurvivorLink turrets will not activate any equipment even under the effects of this item.
- Template:ItemLink will not fire unless it has a target.
- If multiple charges are stored with Template:ItemLink, all charges will be rapidly used back-to-back when a target is acquired.
- Template:ItemLink also will not fire unless it has a valid target.
- Template:ItemLink will be rapidly used, filling the chat with text messages. This may obscure helpful information, such as when teammates ping valuable information.
- Template:ItemLink will always be active, making it difficult to purchase items, since any gold the player collects will be immediately consumed.
- In later stages this is generally a non-issue, since enemies will drop much more gold than The Crowdfunder will consume.
- Enabling the Template:ArtifactLink also removes this issue, since the player will not have to spend gold for chests.
- In conjunction with enough Fuel Cells and/or additional Gestures (or Template:ItemLink and enough kills before the effect expires), it is possible to keep certain item or equipment buffs active continuously.
- This includes Template:ItemLink, Template:ItemLink, Template:ItemLink, Template:ItemLink, Template:ItemLink, Template:ItemLink (for interactables within range), Template:ItemLink, Template:ItemLink (multiple uses stack), Template:ItemLink (multiple uses stack), Template:ItemLink, and Template:ItemLink (since the effect will never end, the player will never be afflicted with Tonic Afflictions, until they swap equipment).
- Template:ItemLink can not be activated by the Gesture of the Drowned, due to it activating automatically upon purchase.
- Template:ItemLink can be quite problematic with Gesture of the Drowned due to possibly activating the Template:ItemLink effect at a bad time.

Trivia
- The item being a nautilus shell and the item's title containing "Drowned" could possibly be a reference to a challenge from the original Risk of Rain, "Sleepin' With The..." in which the player had to kill 20 Whorls by drowning them. Additionally, to "drown" the Whorls, the player needed to knock them off of cliffs. The unlock requirement for this item requires the player to do the same to 20 Hermit Crabs, another shelled creature.
