ThisIsACoolGuy posted:How do you kill the past anyway? What's a gun without a bullet? There's a blacksmith on the fifth floor that requires a few bullet components from other floors. There's one each on floors 2-5. Deliver each of them once, and you can grab Bullets from her. Once you deliver a part, you don't have to do it again.

Finally made it to chamber 4 for the first time, mostly on the back of proton backpack and machinegun fist. I was doing really well, too, had a decent supply of ammo, good guns, and 3/4 hearts. I was confident I would at least be able to do a decent try to whatever boss I got, if not outright win. I also got a cursed boss for the first time this run. I don't even know any patterns for the four pillars besides the very first one due to this fact.

I started playing this last night - for the bullet king, is there any reward to leaving his herald alive? I took it out both times and I'm not sure if I should have. Getting used to the dodge roll is interesting, I'm having a hard time fighting the urge to dodge back instead of towards shots. I've 100%ed every version of BoI but playing it safe caps out at like the Gorgun for me right now. I'm excited for the challenge.

If you kill the Bullet King without hitting his herald, then walk into the herald while he's kneeling on the floor grieving or whatever, he inexplicably dies and drops some money.

The herald runs at you if you hit him once without killing him, there doesn't seem to be any more to him than that. Just avoid hitting him, or kill him fast. I've run into the caped bullet twice now, and each time there was a reaper in the room, which meant I couldn't clear it.  On the other hand, he doesn't seem as rare as people were fearing, but I think you have to do something to make him start showing up. Maybe killing the past once? I never saw him before, but both these sightings were on the same run, the first after killing the first past.

I hope this game ends up getting solid mod support. I would love to occasionally cut loose and run around the Gungeon blowing poo poo up as one of 20 completely out-of-place mod Gungeoneers with a vast array of even more ridiculous guns. JC Denton wielding his hand doing a finger gun gesture and going "bang bang" with his mouth while things mysteriously die. Link shooting a dude with the plasma rifle from Fallout. Melody from Crypt of the Necrodancer strumming a wall of music-note bullets at everything with her Golden Lute.

It should work this way with every enemy tbh, if you're gonna brutally murder someone in cold blood you can do it with a gun like a proper psychopathic Gungeoneer or you can get hosed

Yeah that was some bullshit. e: and i know it's all pixel art which is probably the only thing that makes it possibly but i'm impressed by how much work goes into making so many of the guns unique from reload animations to custom ammo and all kinds of other effects

I want to thank this thread for getting me into Nuclear Throne, which is a bit more fun. This game just needs a few balance patches to improve the pacing of the early game and increase weapon drops. There are a lot of cool guns, but not if you never see them.

I was wondering why the first secret character seemed incredibly easy, a high fire rate good accuracy weapon with 20 shots and low reload time? Then I realised they can't have hp, even with health ups, only armor. At least you start with 6 points of armor. . .

I just quit a run where I got the scatter shot passive. Oh my god its so bad for most guns. SO BAD. You fire 3 projectiles in a cone instead of one but it MASSIVELY downgrades your damage per bullet.

Dunno how to do it on controller, but with M+KB just click on the item you wanna drop and a big red DROP button appears on the top left of the screen.

A small tip for anyone that beats the fifth boss: If you fall off the platforming section afterwards where you are jumping between the floating shells, you get an achievement that unlocks a really good gun.

Finally got to the fifth boss because I found the Stinger; a gun that launches missiles that explode into angry bees on impact. This game rules. EDIT: Also the Alien Engine is great for checking walls for secrets. If you aren't using it as a weapon you should at least be using it for that.

The Alien Engine was one of the guns I got yesterday and I without hesitation threw it in one of those chest things that eats two guns and gives you a new one. That looked miserable to use and I'm bad enough at falling in pits without knockback.

Can you use the alien engine to rocket yourself over pits? That was my first assumption when I picked it up and noticed the knockback. I don't know this game as well as Isaac where after a while you can guess secret rooms 90% of the time. The grappling hook is awesome for stunning guys in a panic, and killing annoying little blobs.

I wonder if the Alien Engine would work with the Backup Gun upgrade that let's you shoot in both direction simultaneously, or the heavy boots that reduces knockback. The only real downside of it is the massive recoil, and if you get in close with it, it absolutely destroys anything you point it at.

I know that some people mentioned the possibility of playing more/getting further upping drop rates and making stronger monsters appear earlier. I don't necessarily believe that is the case but I've had two runs now where I've gotten golden casings for clearing rooms on the first floor and lately I've been getting more machine pistol/AK bulletkin on the first floor than just normal pistol bulletkin. I've also been getting Deadeyes on the first floor which can be kind of jarring.

All it takes to kill dragun is +1 bullet, increased accuracy, potion of +1 bullet, fat bullets and the proton gun apparently. Sure was a large beam

Similarly, I just beat Treadnaught using Proton Cannon + Double Vision + Fat Bullets. I didn't realize until this run that Double Vision was an active item that recharges when you're in combat. Made it go from "too good to use" to "mash the spacebar every room more difficult than a bunch of normal enemies". I died three rooms into the fourth floor because I had no ammo for anything.

I'm pretty sure you get extra drops - more money, more health/armour/ammo, etc. - for beating any boss flawlessly. You don't get an extra item or a Mastery thingy, though (at least for the Oubliette boss).
