The Rat

Adds the Rat as a playable character.

Loadout

The Rat starts with 6 items:

  • Casey - (D tier, gun) Casey is a melee weapon, swinging the bat after a long charge-up will damage nearby enemies and reflect nearby bullets. The bodies of enemies killed by the bat's tip will be launched and can damage other enemies.
  • Rat Chamber Gun - (A tier, gun) Rocket launcher that fires cheese wheels that encheese enemies, similar to those fired by the Elimentaler.
  • Smoke Bomb (C tier, active) - Temporarily become invisible to enemies. Can be used to steal items from shops.
  • Partially-Eaten Cheese (A tier, active) - While active, the player turns into Pac-Man, becoming invincible, granting flight, and instantly killing any enemies they come in contact with. The player can still shoot in this mode.
  • Rat_Boots (C tier, passive) - Grants temporary invulnerability and flight when the wearer walks out over a pit for about 1 second. Increases movement speed by 1.5
  • Gnawed_key (? tier, passive) - Unlocks the hatch to the Resourceful Rat's Lair.

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin

  1. The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
  2. Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
  3. Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
  4. Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.

Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file.

Dependencies

Install these first, or the mod will not work:
