you must undergo great trials to become a Gun God.

also, it's possible to find a screwdriver on 3-1, theoretically

the problem with the screwdriver is that it does 6 damage and mice have 7 HP

It's really fun watching people transition to being afraid of explosive weapons to taking them and boiling veins and using it like a melee build.

The wiki recommends Back Muscles on a lot of characters but that sounds dumb and bad. Please confirm or deny nuclear throne pros

back muscle is great, one thing it does is that with a higher cap of ammo you'll be low on ammo more, so that means more ammo drops. same with something like rhino skin you'll be getting a few more health drops with that too

The wiki says the game always uses the initial ammo capacity number for determining low ammo% so its not affected by back muscle. Grafe C Villa-Lobos, you are under arrest for gamer fraud.

is patience the one where you put off taking a mutation until later or w/e? i've never picked it because i dont really understand what it does.

i think it was true in older versions.

back muscles is still really good - as the game goes on, there are more enemies & your weapons use up ammo faster, so you end up both filling up & running out of ammo faster. back muscles helps a lot with that, especially if you want to run some ridiculous ammo-guzzler like the minigun or hyper rifle or w/e.

it's what it says. no mutation this level, and next level you get to choose again from a new set of mutations. basically a delayed re-roll.

if you really don't like any of the other options, it's a reasonable choice. I take it occasionally.

It just gives you a new set of 4 mutations to pick after the next stage. It's good when it comes up next to like Extra Feet and Hammerhead or w/e.

The first time I played this I walked to something behind a wall that looked like a rusty button on the ground like Zelda style but it blew up and turns out I guess it was a car but I had had enough at that point.
