The D-PAD is also INSANE if you're playing co-op, because in co-op, chests can be used to revive your teammate. That's basically like having an on-demand friendship cookie effect ON TOP of everything else that it provides! It doesn't even cost an active item slot either!
I'm going to to put my opinion on each of your weapons in your list screecher: i agree, every time I use this weapon it feels like an eternity before the enemy can die the Bullet: i don't think it's that bad, it's a pretty decent gun with slightly less damage the wind up: i'm pretty sure it's because I play the marine most the time with his shorter reload time but the wind up is pretty good in my opinion if you get any items that decrease your reload time in any way The Blaster: It's not as bad as the screecher in damage and fire rate but against the bosses it's atrocious but one of its big upsides is that it unjams enemies, Especially when you're fighting a big enemy like a gun nut or a boss the bow: yeah, it's a bow. It's not supposed to be good It's supposed to have a long charge up time but large damage, what the hell were you expecting? Explosive rounds? charm? The Phoenix: fuck the Phoenix. The plunger: it's a pretty decent gun if you get the atrocious damage and that you can accidentally poison yourself out of the way the Molotov launcher: i don't know why you put it as the shotgun since it's a really good gun but the Molotov launcher is only good for its fire effect, you don't use it all the time you use it in combination with another gun. The Mega Dowser: again you're not supposed to use this all the time You're supposed to use the in combination with another gun like for ice and electricity, the Mega Dowser is amazing if you're playing as the robot with its electricity and if you get certain synergies or upgrades it can freeze entire rooms. I'm not even going to say the horrid name of the last gun you mentioned on the list It is 100% the worst gun in the entire fucking game unless you're playing as the gunslinger.
Odd opinion but I feel like machine pistol is a top 10 gun just for its ability to work with you from room one to even thee dragun fight with any one synergy
I disagree with the molotov launcher being on this list I think how it is supposed to be used is that you shoot it then switch to another gun that shoots faster while your enemies are being burned by the molotov
The worst gun in my opinion is casey (the bat gun) Not only does it give you +2 curse, its a garbage melee weapon in general. You have to charge it up in order to swing it, you launch slightly foward when you swing it meaning if your not careful you can accidentally launch yourself into a pit. It can block/launch enemy projectiles which is handy, but with how long you have to charge the damn thing you're better off just dodge rolling. And its synergy version careful iteration (the nailed bat) isn't really that good, everytime you swing you shoot a spread of 6 nails at enemies which sounds good, but then I just use a another gun because its not worth it considering the charge time. And yes I am aware of all the synergy potential but I just don't see why you would use it for +2 curse in the first place. Just throw it in the muncher man I hate this gun so much.
Black hole gun synergized most op, dont know how i think its with that tentacle weapon but basically you shot it once, no bullet hits you and the room is cleared
Gotta say I respectfully disagree with Mega Douser, Bullet, and Heck Blaster Douser does good work on the first two bosses, plus the utility is insanely undervalued when you've got fused chests or lots of flames and poison on the floor. Plus, it's pretty disgusting when you get it playing as the Robot Bullet still does pretty good damage, even in your footage. I'd rather have it over something like the Dueling Pistol or Derringer. The damage per bullet might be pretty low on the Heck Blaster, but the actual DPS when you consider fire rate is pretty good. I'm able to use it to help me get early kills and start stabilizing rooms on later floors. Everything else is an absolutely W take though
While I do agree on some of your opinions I thought I'd share a piece of my mind on some of them The plunger, while yes pretty much garbage, has the benefit of basically having infinite ammo so at least it has something going for it The heck blaster is pretty okay in my opinion especially since it unjams any enemy it hits and its insane fire rate pretty much guarantees chance based on shot effects to go off The mega douser has incredible utility be it puddle based harards, bomb chests, secret room finding, or countering beholster rockets The others I do agree with, though the phoenix at least has the 'phoenix up' synergy going for it
The windup without the clover is certified F tier quality but it’s upgrades to easy A+ with it. But the blaster is infinitely useful for high curse runs considering the benefits of curse and curse items.
Couple days ago I got the screecher and I had orbital bullets, so every soundwave would orbit over the enemies doing damage multiple times. Very situational, but it was incredibly good that one run, I had other good guns but actually used that one for bosses for dps
