"Critical strikes increase attack speed. Stacks 3 times."— Pickup Text

The Predatory Instincts is an uncommon damage item in Risk of Rain. On getting a critical hit on an enemy, critical strikes increase attack speed by 10%. Stacks up to 30%.

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.
• Works well with The Ol' Lopper, Lens Maker's Glasses, Harvester's Scythe, and Wicked Ring as they all increase the player's crit chance

Trivia

• The variables stored in memory show an 11% attack speed increase even though the item log says 10%.

Bugs

• In Co-op, if the Huntress dies before a Legendary Wisp spawns and another player kills it, the item is still unlocked because the Huntress technically didn't take damage. 
• If Predatory Instincts is picked up during the activation of this item (attack speed buff), the player's base attack speed will be decreased.

Reason: When you pick up a new Predatory Instincts 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).
