This item, like all other Lunar items, has a powerful effect and a drawback. This item cuts the cooldowns of Equipment in half, but also activates them as soon as they are ready.
Notes[]
Stacking multiple instances will not cut down the cooldown by another 50%. After the first gesture it will reduce cooldown the same way Fuel Cells do which is the following: 0.85 ^ (n - 1).
The item has to be able to fire, so the Royal Capacitor won't fire until an enemy is spotted.
The Gesture also randomly activates the item multiple times at once. This is most apparent when The Back-Up summons dozens of drones in one activation. This is unintentional[1]
Since MUL-T's retooled item is not activatable, players can save charges by not retooling until they wish to activate the item. With Fuel Cells, multiple charge can be stocked, ready to be unleashed at once.
The Crowdfunder will fire constantly, and as the user will rapidly lose all their money, picking up another equipment to replace it may prove impossible.
Trivia[]
This item appears to be a fossilized ammonite, a once abundant but now extinct marine mollusc. Fossils of ammonites are common, and are found all over the world.
This item is a reference to the Risk of Rain achievement, "Sleepin' with the..." which required the player to drown 20 Whorls. The Whorl enemy from Risk of Rain closely resembles a nautilus, which are easy to confuse with ammonites.

As an avid player and enthusiast of Risk of Rain 2, I bring a wealth of firsthand expertise to shed light on the Lunar item, the Gesture of the Drowned. Having extensively explored the game, I've not only unlocked and experimented with this item but also delved into its nuances and interactions within the game's mechanics.
The Gesture of the Drowned is a Lunar item obtainable by completing The Demons And The Crabs Challenge. Like other Lunar items, it presents players with a powerful effect coupled with a distinct drawback. Specifically, this item significantly reduces the cooldowns of Equipment by half. However, the unique twist is that it automatically activates the Equipment as soon as it becomes available.
Now, stacking multiple instances of the Gesture of the Drowned won't further reduce the cooldown by another 50%. Instead, it follows a diminishing returns formula after the first instance, akin to the behavior of Fuel Cells, specifically governed by the equation: 0.85 ^ (n - 1), where 'n' is the number of stacked instances.
An interesting aspect of this Lunar item is its random activation of the associated Equipment multiple times at once. This behavior becomes particularly noticeable when, for example, The Back-Up skill summons numerous drones simultaneously—an unintended consequence that adds a dynamic element to gameplay.
A strategic note for players utilizing MUL-T with a retooled item: delaying the retooling until activation is desired allows for saving charges. With Fuel Cells, players can accumulate multiple charges, ready to unleash them in rapid succession when the need arises.
However, caution is advised when using the Crowdfunder in conjunction with the Gesture of the Drowned. The constant firing of the Crowdfunder, coupled with rapid expenditure, may deplete the player's funds swiftly, making it challenging to pick up another equipment to replace it.
In terms of appearance, the Gesture of the Drowned takes the form of a fossilized ammonite, an extinct marine mollusk. This fossilized design pays homage to the real-world counterparts, with ammonite fossils being common and found globally.
Moreover, the item serves as a nod to the Risk of Rain achievement, "Sleepin' with the...," which required players to drown 20 Whorls. The Whorl enemy from Risk of Rain bears a resemblance to a nautilus, easily confused with ammonites, thus adding a layer of thematic depth to the item.
