Porcupack is a brutality-scaling mutation which lets the player hit enemies with the melee weapon stored in the backpack when they roll through them.

Details[edit]

  • Scroll Cap: None
  • Special Effects:
    • Rolling will attack with the melee weapon in the backpack, enemies that are hit take a reduced percentage of the original damage of the weapon.
      • Hitting an enemy causes the mutation to go on cooldown for 3 seconds.
  • Scaling: +1% damage per Brutality stat

Synergies[edit]

  • Rapier Icon.png Rapier will always deal critical damage while being used in the backpack.
    • Similarly, due to the 3 second cooldown, the Bladed Tonfas Icon.png Bladed Tonfas will always be stuck on the first attack of the combo, and therefor always deal critical damage (while obviously not flinging you forward)
  • While using Shovel Icon.png Shovel, Flashing Fans Icon.png Flashing Fans or Spartan Sandals Icon.png Spartan Sandals in the backpack, bombs will still be reflected if you roll through them, similar with Armadillopack Mutation Icon.png Armadillopack. The cooldown will not be triggered, making it usable on clusters of bombs, and the area that this effect is triggered is deceptively large compared to regular porcupack attacks. However, be cautious that the mutation is often on cooldown.
  • Directional weapons like Vorpan Icon.png Vorpan and Assassin's Dagger Icon.png Assassin's Dagger treat your attacks as coming from the direction you rolled in. For example, rolling through the front of an enemy deals critical damage with Vorpan, and rolling through the back of an enemy deals critical damage with Assassin's Dagger.

Notes[edit]

  • This mutation has a cooldown of 3 seconds, but can hit more than one enemy.
  • Melee weapon in backpack can trigger their own respective special effects and affixes.
    • Affixes that increase received damage (i.e "1% healed per attack, 100% taken") disregard the negative effects while in the backpack, but still apply their benefits.

History[edit]

  • 2.1: Introduced.
  • 2.4: Base DPS increased from 50% to 75%.
