An aggressive survivor with the highest base HP in the game at 200, plus 12 base armor. MUL-T's Retool passive lets him hold two equipment items and swap between two primary weapons simultaneously. Auto-Nailgun's high fire rate makes him one of the best on-hit item carriers in the game. His biggest weakness is the second-lowest base movement speed at 4.5 m/s.
MUL-T has four primary weapons across two loadout slots. Pick two at character select and Retool switches between them. The most important choice every run is which two primaries to equip - you can pick the same weapon twice for dual-wielding.
Maximum on-hit proc rate with no swap downtime. Best for on-hit builds stacking Ukulele, AtG Missile, and Predatory Instincts.
The default versatile combo. Nailgun handles sustained DPS while Rebar one-shots elites and flying targets.
Power Mode activates both simultaneously for 1000%/s saw plus nailgun procs. Requires melee positioning.
Rapid-fires faster than natural reload by alternating Retool. High single-target burst with Crowbar stacks.
MUL-T is unlocked via the Verified challenge: complete the Stage 1 teleporter event 5 times total. One of the easiest character unlocks in the game.
Play as any survivor. Verified does not require MUL-T.
Complete the Stage 1 teleporter event: activate teleporter, survive the charge, defeat the boss.
Repeat this 5 times total across any number of runs. Progress accumulates across sessions.
After 5 completions, the Verified challenge completes and MUL-T is permanently unlocked.
Rush the teleporter on Drizzle difficulty for the fastest clears. Five runs averaging 5-10 minutes each completes this. You do not need to survive past Stage 1.
MUL-T's item strategy centers on Auto-Nailgun's on-hit proc value. His high fire rate makes proc items fire more frequently than on most other survivors. Soldier's Syringe is top priority since it amplifies every on-hit item simultaneously.
Attack speed increases Auto-Nailgun fire rate and Power-Saw tick count. Both weapons gain more from attack speed than most survivors. Priority pickup every run.
75% bonus damage to enemies above 90% HP. Rebar Puncher hits fresh targets at full health on every shot, making Crowbar reliably active on each important cast. Stack multiple for early one-shots on elites.
10% missile on hit. Auto-Nailgun fires ~12 nails/s at 0.6 proc coefficient for frequent AtG procs. Power Mode with dual Auto-Nailguns effectively doubles the proc rate.
25% chain lightning on hit. Auto-Nailgun high fire rate makes Ukulele proc frequently, giving MUL-T AoE damage his single-target primaries otherwise lack.
Adds an extra Blast Canister charge. Two canisters back-to-back doubles stun uptime and bomblet AoE. Essential for group management.
On-crit: +12% attack speed up to 3 stacks. Auto-Nailgun crits frequently at decent crit chance, stacking Predatory Instincts quickly for compounding attack speed bonuses.
MUL-T's 4.5m/s base speed is the second-lowest in the game. Movement speed is essential for positioning and avoiding attacks between Transport Mode uses.
18% chance per kill to reset all cooldowns. MUL-T's high kill rate triggers Bandolier frequently, refreshing Blast Canister and keeping Transport Mode available.
MUL-T has no strict rotation. Hold Auto-Nailgun on enemies continuously, use Blast Canister to stun dangerous targets, and use Transport Mode to reposition or charge through groups. Retool between Rebar Puncher shots when you need single-target punch.
Primary 1: Auto-Nailgun always. Primary 2: Auto-Nailgun for maximum on-hit DPS, or Rebar Puncher for elite burst on demand. Special: Power Mode once unlocked - +100 armor and dual primary output is MUL-T's strongest cooldown.
Dual Auto-Nailgun setup: Set both primary slots to Auto-Nailgun at character select. This eliminates all swap downtime since Retool never changes your damage type. Retool still switches equipment normally.
Rebar rapid-fire: Equip Rebar Puncher in both slots and alternate the fire button with Retool between shots - faster than natural reload until approximately 360% attack speed.
Auto-Nailgun burst timing: Release the fire button before Retooing or entering Transport Mode to trigger the 12-nail final burst. Cancelling mid-stream with Retool or Blast Canister loses the burst.
Transport Mode fall damage: Transport Mode's 200 armor also applies to fall damage. Activate just before landing from a large drop for significantly reduced fall damage.
Complete the Verified challenge by finishing the Stage 1 teleporter event 5 times total. Any survivor counts. Progress carries across runs. It is the easiest character unlock in the game.
Dual Auto-Nailguns for maximum on-hit proc frequency with no swap downtime. Auto-Nailgun plus Rebar Puncher for the best all-round versatility. Dual Rebar Punchers with alternating Retool is a high burst single-target setup that works well with Crowbar stacks.
Retool is MUL-T's passive and active special. Passively it lets him hold two equipment items simultaneously. Activating it switches both his current primary weapon and his active equipment at the same time - always both together, never independently.
Power Mode is excellent once unlocked. It equips both primary weapons simultaneously, doubling damage output. The +100 armor is significant extra tankiness. The only drawback is the -60% movement speed - position well or use Transport Mode to close distance first.
Soldier's Syringe first for attack speed multiplying all on-hit procs. Then Ukulele and AtG Missile for AoE and proc damage. Crowbar for Rebar Puncher burst on full-HP targets. Predatory Instincts for attack speed via crits. Paul's Goat Hoof to compensate for 4.5 m/s base speed.
