Let's Buff Stuff!

[Featureosa]

Q) What is the purpose of this thread?

A) To help the devs what to buff/change in the next patch

Example: Convict's "Don't believe his lies" is probably the worst starter item in the game right now. This is because XTG's combo meter rewards you for not getting hit, which conflicts with the item's effect of granting bonus damage when you get hit.

My solution: Let "Don't believe his lies" gain extra bonus damage the higher your combo before you get hit.


Happy buffing :)

well, when you use convict with items liek bee stinger, and angry god ( i think the name ) ?
the enraged photo makes it amazing. and taking a hit is fine, it's just bosses you gotta be flawless on.
That being said, you CAN buy other abilities to use in runs, I frequently get marines front facing enemy perk, which is amazing tbh.

Buff the game by adding a traditional gungeon mode. That way people can play how they want.

The Judge is probably the thing that most severely needs buffing ATM. Just a terrible trash gun that doesn't work like it's supposed to. The green poison shots and blue ice shots need to actually apply their debuffs, and the weapon just needs to do better DPS in general.

Mustache is awful right now. It was awful in Enter the Gungeon too, but with the generally longer run times in EtG it at least could sometimes serve a purpose. In XtG, you get far fewer opportunities to make use of it. I think it should heal 100% of the time on purchase. Even with this change, it would still be one of the worst items in the game. But it would at least be better than current.

Com4nd0 is weaker than it should be. This was an awesome gun in EtG, but it does much worse damage in XtG.

Freeze Ray is also terrible DPS. Feels super bad to get Freeze Ray during boss fights.

Addressing the original post here though: Convict's Enraging Photo is fine. Yes, you should ideally be avoiding damage. But as fast and chaotic as this game is, you're prolly gonna get hit sometimes. Getting a payout for taking a hit is not a bad deal. As someone already mentioned, that's what Honeycomb and Bullet Idol do, too. I wouldn't be surprised if Convict ends up being the character of choice for speedrunning either, like how in EtG she has the world record on Boss Rush mode specifically because of Enraging Photo.

All beam weapons have terrible DPS, many time I've found that they are worse than the nail gun. Possibly because they dont stack well with bullet effect items, while fast firing guns scale the most with bullet effect items.

I also feel the RC rocket needs improvement. The bullet speed is awful and is very apparent in the 5th stage with the amount of enemies. The only way to make the most of it at the moment is to stand next to enemy
