Best items for MUL-T.

Crowbar

Rebar Puncher hits so hard that a few Crowbars one-shot Stone Golems.

You do 75% more damage to enemies that still have almost full health (over 90%), so your first hit lands much harder. Each extra crowbar adds another 75%.

Stacking: No cap: each crowbar adds another 75%. With two, the first hit already beats a critical hit.

Watch out: Only the hit that lands while the enemy is above 90% counts; missiles and lightning from other items do not get it. In a group, if an ally hits first, you lose it.

Soldier's Syringe

The Nailgun fires faster.

You attack 15% faster: more shots and hits per second. Each extra syringe adds another 15%.

Stacking: Each copy adds the same, no cap.

Watch out: Only speeds up attacks and animations: it does not lower skill cooldowns. Bandit does not shoot faster, he only reloads faster.

Fuel Cell

Retool gives him two equipment slots: more charges and less cooldown for both.

Your equipment gets one more use and recharges 15% faster. Each extra cell adds a use and faster recharge.

Stacking: Each cell adds a charge; cooldown drops 15% of what is left and never reaches zero.

Ukulele

Nails trigger it constantly.

25% of your hits release lightning that jumps to 3 nearby enemies. Each extra ukulele makes it jump to 2 more and reach further.

Stacking: The chance stays at 25%; each copy adds 2 more enemies and more range.

Watch out: The lightning has a very low proc coefficient.

Brilliant Behemoth

Every nail explodes.

All your attacks explode and hurt nearby enemies. Turns any attack into an area attack. Each extra one, a bigger explosion.

Stacking: Each copy makes the blast bigger; damage does not go up.

Watch out: The blast copies the hit: if Lost Seer's Lenses instantly kill something, the blast can also kill a boss standing next to it.
