An Analysis of the R&G Department | Enter the Gungeon 

The forge/hollow provide heat and air conditioning for the office

So in the rng department karen is the manager. The very thing she swore to destroy

I find it funny that the floor named the “RNG” department is the only floor not randomly generated

The armored bullet kins spirit leaving is a reference to dark souls. When you die in dark souls you lose souls. For the armored bullet kins, he loses spirits

that western shotgun kin is clearly in reference to Doug Dimmadome, owner of the Dimmsdale Dimmadome smh my head

The boss is a Metal Gear reference, and also the floor isn't random because it's the R AND G department, RNG.

Green Fish are, uh, probably Nuclear Throne stuff.

The brollet (bro-let) is a reference to the game "Broforce" where some enemies, well, have dynamite strapped to them and explode on death.

The mustache on the western shotgun kin might just be a fake one.

"You've finally come into my hole!" oh

0:49 He actually only spawns if you have a master round on you by the time you enter the hallow. No master round, and he doesn’t spawn.

I always thought the “Kaliber Thing Bulletman” and the “Kalibullet” were also weird robots. The fact that they’re organic makes them way creepier. Also, I loved the thought of a Gungeoneer going down to the R&G Department for the first time, go into a room with their gun ready, and just walk in on some Gundead on break having tea or something.

This video was a lot of fun to make, even if it did turn out a bit clumsy in a few places. That's the price you pay for salvaging an old script, I guess. If anything else is brought to my attention, I'll add it to this comment. ------------------------------ - "Hit's Bakery" told me that Brollets are in reference to the game Broforce. Heard of the game, but never played it, so I didn't pick up on the reference. - "ketra1504" informed me that the Armoured Bullet Kin's spirit is a reference to Dark Souls. Again, a game I've (regrettably) never played. Maybe once I finish Super Mario World. - "George McCartney" among others informed me that the Cylinder enemies are in reference to the Cylinder robots from the 1988 movie 'Felix the Cat: The Movie'.

With the Leever thing, i dont think the stuff coming out of its chambers is fire. I think its mouths. Weird, sandworm-esque mouths, thus linking it to its namesake, the Leever

Question: what does the ammonomicon say the enemy was when you are killed by a regular enemy? They don't have official names so is it just the default?

2 things to add to this. 1: I'm about 99% sure the green Fish enemies are based on the character Fish from Nuclear Throne. 2: the thing in the specimen tubes reminds me a lot more of a Metroid from the series of the same name with its jellyfish-like shape and triangular arrangement of... things in the dome portion of it.

Could alien floor thing leever be a teliporter mimic?

I have my own theory on the venomous vial thing or whatever that is at the end of the video- the red and white thing on the tube is actually a skull crossbones danger sticker, not something in the vial itself. Just my own thoughts.

By spent a bunch of time observing you mean watching the Helicopter have a seizure?

This is a replacement of a comment previously made, where I said "It's pronounced gigi not gigi" as a joke. But having almost finished the video now, I'm changing it to this: When you made the comment about the hollow and forge being opposites, and Rng Dept. being inbetween, it made me think of it as a "heaven/hell" situation. I *am* aware that there is "bullet hell". However, the forge, being made of fire and ashen monsters, is below the hollow, made of, well, the opposite. And, seeing as the Rng Dept is in-between, and seems to take place in a city, it makes a little sense. Heaven above, and hell below, with the normal land in-between. This also kind of acts as a purgatory for enemies that seem to be cut from the game. The desert, pirate, and space enemies all ended up here, Alongside Agunim. This isnt really a real floor, anyway. It doesnt follow the gungeons rules. It doesnt change, it doesnt have chests, shops, a real boss. Agunim *shouldnt* be there. He moved there, kind of like gungeoneers.

I would like to see the manager quickly. "Sir, do you have an appointment-" *Loads gun* I just want to talk.

Wow, you weren’t kidding about “Coming Soon”...

From my observations, Fridge maiden is slightly different: the cheese slices don't aim *directly* at you, and instead meander loosely in your general direction, making it much harder to predict a safe zone.

Finally, some quality cactus representation in gaming.

The Kbullet's swiss-cheese appearance might be related to the Holey Grail.

That was a nice mod you used there... I never knew the Charge Shot’s name was so long:) Edit: WHERE MY EGGS

I feel like you could rearrange the categories for the ennemies slightly. I agree with the pirate and western categories, but I'm thinking that the mutant part of the "future" category could go with the angry necronomicon, stone tablet and candle guys to form a magic/kaliber goup, with maybe the armored bullet kins to. Also, office bullet and bullettes, the Titan ones included, and the fridge maiden form an office category.

21:48 I think that thing in the glass is actually the boss you fight in exit the Gungeon, Killinder. It looks extremely similar to it, especially when looking at the sprite from the game files

SCARgoyle Also that's pizza, not cheese

It seems like there was a necromancy theme involved as well ( the angry necronomican, angry tablet, candle guy, bullet gargoyle maybe, armoured bullet kin if you really want to stretch it)

1:08 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈

Fish can roll

I like to think the Brolett is a reference to Broforce (both games are published by Devolver Digital and one of Broforce's main enemies is an explosive-vest-wearing Mook, plus, y'know, bro).

11:27 That’s not facial hair. He Drew that on with a maker

Theoretically, you can prototype an animal. Creatures that are heavily geneticly modified might already have small lifespans, so you could probably just keep that trait for the ones you dont want and then modify the best "build" of it to have longer lifespans.

Obviously the farewell to arms update was a last hoorah because the developers decided working on the game was too difficult in it's current state, and they wanted to move onto other things. So the R&G department is just thrown in there for fun and I accept that now. But that being said, every floor has a secret floor in between, the keep had the oubliette, the gungeon proper had the abbey, the mines had the rat maze, and if you squint, I consider bullet hell to be the secret floor to the forge. MY idea for the secret floor to the hollow is some dark dank cave under the hollow where the rift the killithid and phaser spiders originate from, and the boss involves closing the rift. If you think about it, it makes sense. The killithid are known for preferring cold areas, namely the hollow, why not have a themed floor connected to the floor they're most associated with

*Agunim seizure intensifies*

Thank you for pointing out what the Pirate Shotgun's hat actually was. All this time I looked at it and for some reason thought it was one of those hats you're able to store beer cans in, but with far more spots to store cans. Makes a lot more sense now that I know what it actually is.

Agunim is definitely a reference to "A Link To The Past", in the video, you said something like "Agunim is a wizard apprentice to the powerful cannon, who tried to invade the gungeon long ago and failed." In the Zelda game, Agahnim (Agunim) is a wizard apprentice to Ganon (Cannon), and years before Ganon had tried to invade Hyrule (The Gungeon), but was banished to the the sacred realm, which was transformed into the dark world. That last bit was just some other part of the lore, but I found that reference really interesting

Isnt the armoured bullet sprit appearing when it dies a refrence to dark souls and how you drop your souls when you die, i might be wrong tho.

The "Leever" thing looks pretty similar to the Teleporter Prototype.

God the clip at the end was just priceless

Btw the rnd Boss is basically a super blatant liquid snake hind d boss fight from Mgs boss lol

NN having gungeon flashbacks at 16:41

I do think the Kalibullet is related to the monster we see when breaking a mirror

Me on my way to destroy the *CEO of RNG*

That cylinder alien looks like that flaming cylinder boss from exit the gungeon

That interdimensional horror theory actually makes a lot of sense, the X on its forehead is also seen on top of the cilinder

Nice video!!! (go sleep)

Pretty sure the armored bulletkin’s appearance and spirit being released on death is a Dark souls reference, back to the brass armored Darkmoon Knightess.

11:20 Doug Kin owner of gungeon dome

Finally, some cactus representation in gaming.

Did you actually write R&G?

to me, the R&G dept is simply not canon. it's just too "out there". i mean, it was meant to not fit in with the rest. it's kind of like a meme they literally put in the game i think

21:41 This is in exit the gungeon, it looks a lot like one of the bosses, watch hutts's 2nd exit video.

The spider alien...thing...ressembles the spider shotgun kin...*thing*

Are there any leads on the alleged final big secret?

The way you pronounce Agunim is... interesting.

I have a feeling that the entrance of the gunegon is actually at an elevation above a planet. The first few floors can be leading down to the hollow, at the top of a mountain. The higher elevation is cooler ( Hollow) and under the R&G dept is the crust of the planet. Almost like the gungeoneer slid down a mountain on their way to the R&G dept. As you go deeper, it gets hotter. The forge can close to the planet's core. While bullet hell IS the core. Also the Cylinders look like the robots from the old sonic cartoon.

It seems you forgot to cover one R&G enemy that was added in FTA but never spawns...Perhaps unused. I sorta discovered it unknowingly when I was adding all the new FTA enemy GUIDs to my modified build of MTG. It's a office and/or mutant version of those frog things that shoot bubbles (gunzookie I think). Only the office version doesn't shoot bubbles. Just shoots regular bullets. It has an odd prefab name: "Chameleon". I put it in as gunzookie_office in the enemies.txt file when I added it to MTG as I'm unsure what name they intended for this thing. :P It looks like a mutated gunzookie but fires a bullet spread in the player's direction instead of bullets. Has the same death sound as a gunzookie when it dies. I assume you are using this change to MTG to test spawn the enemies? github.com/ModTheGungeon/ETGMod/pull/17 I added him in there as gunzookie_office if you want to check him out. It looks like he doesn't spawn anywhere on R&G department normally. Either they forgot to add him or he was left unused. EDIT: Oh you might be covering this in the "cut content" part of this you mentioned at the end of the video. Well just in case you forgot about him I'll mention it anyways. :P

OH SHIP!!! I didn't know this existed! I apologize, I won't be watching the rest of the video after the 1 minute mark to avoid spoilers, because now I NEED to see this for myself.

21:20 to me it looks similar to Kaliber but idk maybe I’m crazy

Not much to say about the Cactus enemy, for shame!

Wait what? ONE master round and TWO items? *FUCK I ALWAYS TOUGHT IT WAS **_TWO_** MASTER ROUNDS AND **_ONE_** ITEM*

The cylinders oddly enough share a lot of resemblance to the cylinder army from that Felix the Cat movie

Woo! 'Preciate the effort dude

I bet the armored bullet soul thing is a Dark Souls reference.

"So upon coming out of the closet, you find yourself in a corridor full of well-dressed bullet kin." ~Nevernamed 2019

Im pretty sure the brolette is a reference to the suicide bombers in bro force, seeing as they're both devolver games Edit: spelling

I actually found this randomly with a friend of mine when the update was fairly new in a funny instance... since I was playing the Cultist, I let them have most of the good items and, they basically said "I'm going to give them my master round, we really need the money lol", I nearly lost my head over it but, a part of me was chuckling of laughter on the inside since it's a master round but, the floor opened up and, me and, my friend turned and, looked at each other in confusion as the floor opened up and, in disgust at the full form of the sell creep and, we both ended up laughing and, giving each other a "What the f___ was that?!" reaction, we were shocked at the boss battle and, my friend had flight so, actually couldn't leave the area and, I don't remember why but, they couldn't lose their flight(, I think we had controller issues or, something like that), if I weren't alive the whole run would've been forfeit since I didn't have flight, I dropped down making our exit, we finished, confused, baffled and, very pleased.

While I was watching the video I finally beat old king R.i.p. level 6 junkan

who's idea was that to spell Random Number Generator as R&G?

I thought the brollets were a serious Sam reference. You know, the guys with bombs that run at you.

16:27 My god I’m dumb, I thought their eyes were earrings and they had one closed eye in the middle. :/

So before I try and possibly fail, am I able to spawn the enemies outside of the rng department?

The enemies under the glass floors are probably rejected bosses. The 6 chamber leever is actually now a boss in Exit The Gungeon.

the thing in the barrels is supposed to be a metroid from the series of the same name.

lmao I love how the lead maiden is the fridge maiden

22:33 or it could be a reference to metroids

Manager karen stole my kids

21:33 I think that's the huge worm that appears in the mines in the convict's path in Exit the Gungeon.

Ok, ik this was a year ago, but at 11:24 when you were talking about the western shotgun kin having facial hair, I'm just theorizing they stuck fake ones on themselves to feel more "western." That would explain the facial hair thing, by just wanting to fit in with the theme, right?

Surprised there was no mention of the Boss Fight being an homage to metal gear solid 1, where you fight another character voiced by Cam Clarke on the roof of a building while they have a Helicopter mounted with weapons...

The leever from the gungeon and the one from the Legend of Zelda may have the same kind of body

THE WESTERN SHOTGUN KIN’S MUSTACHE IS FAKE?!?!

the Brolets dynamite vest looks a lot like the vest worn by the exploding enemies in BRO force maybe the vest and the name are a reference to that game

how do you prototype an animal? Breeding.

These caped bullets dont count for the character or?

Its pronounced gg

Oh, so this is that thing, that i see during a payday heist

The city theory does make sense They send their dead bodies to the hollow and get some metal works from the forge and serves as a natural divider from travel point

"Upon coming out of the closet" oh no

The necromonican is a reference to ash vs evil dead

The thing in the tube looks a lot like a Metroid

1:36 OF COURSE you have the patriot

its so LATE but I must watch

The kalibullet could just be a calamari squid bullet, with tentacle legs and squidward looking skin and eyes

Nevernamed, I think the ghost of the bullet armour is referencing the cut ghost enemy, the one that was meant to duplicate.

8:50 I'm pretty sure that's pizza

11:22 it’s a stick on Moustache obviously
