With the revamped drop system, you really shouldn't need to use your starter weapon past floor 2 or so. Especially if you make it a point to visit the Oubliette every run.

Floor 1, oubliette, floor 2 is a whole lot of samey plinking. It's so much more fun with anything else and just getting to use even a bad gun for oub/2 makes the game so much better. Unfortunately synergies has made getting a huge selection of bad guns op so the gungeon i dream of can never be. No Wave fucked around with this message at 22:23 on Sep 25, 2018 |

Are you planning to get hit? Honestly, I have done no hit runs with the robot and cleared the lich a few times, but I still don't like him. It feels bad when you get one of the many items that don't do anything at all for the robot.

Challenge mode in the forge is the loving worst. I had a fully powered sir Junkanoo on the bullet and I still got to the dragon on just one half heart and lost horribly

There are a lot of broken guns in this game huh. When you're clearing pasts even if you're completely sucking you'll win at least 25% of the time with something dumb like a floor 1 heroine or a black hole gun. Honestly I think I've gotten worse at the game over my past seven runs because I know I'll just highroll eventually and win for free, I should stop that. Bullet hell might change this so we'll see.

Fyi if you are in the midgame i.e you haven't yet cleared all the pasts you will be experiencing a super high drop rate of broken poo poo because you are unlocking stuff and unlocking increases the chance of the unlocked gun dropping in the next run I've only got the robot left and my percentage of "broken poo poo" runs is way down because I've got few unlocks remaining

Easy option and implementation to alleviate the frustration of not having enough keys and credit buildup: Give Winchester the power to let you start with one random gun of any weighted rank by paying him 3 or so.

I booted this up for the first time in a few months tonight. I wanted to put in 10 or 15 minutes for shits before bed, and I wound up getting my first glitch chest after 175 hours played. I finished the fight with 1 HP left. I think I'm officially out of content now. After I beat glitch boss, all of the pedestals but the two centers ones were mimics. Is this always the case? I barely survived that poo poo-storm. Luckily a ton of health and armor drops from the original fight.

I encountered my first glitch chest yesterday... as the bullet without full health and no other guns (was on the 1at floor). I somehow managed to beat the glitched beholsters with closeup melee, but then died in the ensuing mimic chaos that I wasn't expecting ;_;

The Cat Claw does great damage, but getting through glitched beholsters was still pretty darn challenging. And holy poo poo fighting 10 mimics all at the same time really sucks.

Ok finished the main 4 pasts. My favorite was for sure the Marine. I had no idea what the past or "killing the past" meant so it was surprisingly nice, I had no idea the guy I was playing for 15 hours was such a good guy! Convict and Huntress were more boring because they just wanted to take back the thing that sent them to the gungeon. Pilot was like marine but I did it last and I don't think it was as well done. The pilot seems awesome as long as you don't have to use his dumb starter gun, he's just got so much going for him otherwise. Still haven't seen any The Bullet unlocking dudes.

I get to the challenge level forge and find a dice shrine at one and a half hearts. I should have not used a dice shrine at one and a half hearts. The Lord of the Jammed and a Jammed challenge Dragun together are not good times...

Well I got hitching in Gungeon for the first time on my desktop: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oat2fyN7avQ Mass Shotgun + Mine Cutter + Scattershot + Galactic Medal of Valor + Heavy Bullets It made the Wallmonger fast, but choppy. This could be even crazier with Helix, etc. Then I got Oiled Cylinder. I practically face tanked the Lich just because I could. BaconCopter fucked around with this message at 06:58 on Sep 29, 2018 |

I finally did it, I finally beat the dragun. All it took was getting lucky and getting a bunch of synergies, including the rad gun and the sunglasses, which meant I could one-shot anything in forge and hollow through careful reloading. Also the commando is great against bosses. Less focusing on aiming, more focusing on dodging them bullets.

The commando is great against bosses. Good damage, homing, and the explosions destroy bullets. Helix and other items that fire multiple projectiles when you shoot makes it even better.

Nice job guys. I think the black hole gun afforded me my first Dragun kill as well. I'll tell you that my ratio of time spent til my first Dragun kill vs time between first Dragun kill and killing the four main pasts (finished the convict last night) was probably 5:1. I'm looking forward to unlocking the bullet and robot, but I don't know if I have the stones to go after the resourceful rat after seeing what's all involved in that.

I did all four pasts in rapid succession and started sucking immediately afterwards. I guess diluting the pool with their crap items makes a big difference. Still haven't seen any bullet unlocking dudes. Would make my next few goals a whole lot easier. From here on out it's just endless robot and blessed runs, ie pure pain.

I've been consistently clearing to 4 for about a month, and picking up the dark marker completely trivialized the run even with lord of the jammed chasing me. I couldn't even tell what was supposed to be happening phase 2 until it was nearly over. I love this game

Is there a way to see your synergies? I haven't played since before the update and noticed I got some new effects going on (Flare Gun is suddenly green?) but I couldn't really figure out what was causing it and if I had any other non-obvious effects going. I know I can look at the wiki but that's not really helpful in figuring out what, if any, have synergies when I have a dozen guns and items v  v

When you open your inventory and select any given item, anything it has a synergy with will also be highlighted in blue. The only way to tell what the synergy does is either practice or looking it up.

I've been looking at my inventory screen to see if there was anything like that but I guess I haven't had any synergies in my last couple of runs  Thanks.Man, I'm rusty at this game. Last time I played I knocked out several of the pasts in a row but now I can barely even get to the Dragun.

Finally got my first Clone run in since AG&D when one dropped in Bullet Hell when I had exactly 1666 Hegemony Credits. It of course spiraled out of control with absurdity including the Cube spawning a 7 leaf clover before my 2nd Rat fight. Here's a clip of me beating all three phases of the Lich in less then a minute (drat phase transitions slowing me down). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tq5TWNzHNe0

Do all roguelike devs suffer from Binding of Isaac syndrome where they just have to add some bullshit to an otherwise good update?  Those new enemies are just garbage and they show up all the dang time.Unrelated, am I right that the dodge roll doesn't have iframes on the first few frames? It keeps tripping me up that I get hit while dodging but unless it's lag (Switch version, has some issues) it's gotta be this right?

You have to be incredibly patient with Cannon. Focus on avoidance for all of his patterns, keep an eye on the pits, whack him a few times and then back off whenever he flies to a new spot, and be aware that your main opportunity to hit him is when he does that lovely attack with the spinning circle of bullets that expands and contracts (not the spiralling bat, you want to just avoid that). You need to watch for when he starts that, dodge into the middle of it and smack him a few times, and dodge out again when it contracts, then make some distance and dodge the shots. Cannon takes an annoyingly long time to kill and you have to absolutely prioritize careful, methodical play to wear him down.

Guess I got the right idea then Fourth attempt now and I got him down to a couple of swings, but you're allowed so few mistakes and the fight takes ages so it's just awful. I think I'm just gonna... play some other games.

Don't forget that the bullet doesn't take contact damage. Sometimes getting right up next to him can give you a couple extra swings and it gives you a bit more room when he starts knocking out the floors.

I would say making the poison ground look the same as the harmless ground in the blacksmith's shop threw me off a lot. I thought I was getting hit by friendly fire which made me play weird and lose the first time.
