While it doesn’t deal much damage, it’s nice to have an extra boost to make you even more deadly than before. Something else the owl occasionally does is shoot random enemies. While it’s not an often occurrence, it’s a welcome one as blanks are a limited resource, and with the owl it allows you to spare them for absolutely necessary times. Like the Partially-Eaten Cheese, this passive item has 3 main features that make it useful to have.Īrguably the best feature to the Owl is that it fires short-range blanks, but only “occasionally” while bullets are near you. You can also shoot in this mode too, which makes it even more of a powerful find.įor being an overpowered find that’s only useful for a selective 10 seconds, it gets the 9th spot.Īvailable after winning 10 of the Gunsling King’s wagers, the Owl is easily the best companion to have in the game. For ten seconds you are essentially PacMan in his prime, killing enemies and sending them back to where they came. The third, and best feature, is instant-death to any enemies you come in contact with, with the exception of bosses. There isn’t too much practical use to this unless you want to get some of the tougher-to-get enemies, but it’s still very useful. The second is flight, allowing you to pass over pitfalls and over tables with ease. Bullets bounce off of you like the cheese you are, which is particularly good against tougher enemies. Only available in the Resourceful Rat’s Lair in the Black Powder Mines, this item has 3 main features that make it a powerful find first and foremost being invincibility.

Nevertheless, when you can turn into PacMan for 10 seconds in this game, it deserves at least a spot on the list. One would think an active item that turns you invisible would be higher on a list of best items. For these reasons, Shock Rounds makes the list at number 10. According to the Gungeon wiki, Shock Rounds are especially powerful with Bouncing Bullets, so your chain lightning can bounce around the room ad infinitum.

Of the aforementioned synergies, most are only relevant if you play the game for a while and unlock guns from shops and missions, but there are some that are quicker to find such as Battery Powered, which creates ammo for the Shock Rifle if you have Shock Rounds.Īnother factor in choosing your items for this game is whether they would be powerful regardless of synergy. As long as you’re able to dodge your way around your enemies, you have guaranteed damage against everyone without having to aim your gun. The first and foremost reason comes from the above picture, showing the insanity you can create with a high-magazine and high-fire-rate gun. With 8 synergies, there is a lot to unpack with Shock Rounds and what makes them great. Causing chain lightning to connect all of your bullets from all of your guns, this passive item has the potential to cheese your way through almost all enemies. Simple yet effective, shock bullets are easy to come by and easy to kill with. With a selection of items to match its stock of guns, there is a wide variety of items in Enter the Gungeon that range from bullet upgrades to health upgrades, and everything in between.
