No Arms Starting Empty Save & Shotgun Parrying with No Arms

[KingOfKretaceous]

I have two bugs to report, both incidentally involving no arms equipped.

The first bug has a somewhat specific setup, but I've seen it happen a couple times and had it reported as a bug in my mod. It involves four steps: 1. Equipping the Knuckleblaster, 2. Unequipping the Feedbacker, 3. Starting a new, empty save file, and 4. Not closing and reopening the game before you start the save + are put in the tutorial. This causes the player to have no arms equipped, and makes them unable to equip any arms until 1-4, assumedly, which is beyond some skull thresholds if you want to play without cheats.

The second bug is even more niche, but can affect some idiots (me ) who sometimes play challenge runs. This bug can happen when the player: 1. Has no arms equipped, and 2. Attempts to shotgun parry certain attacks [example upcoming: the Malicious Face's beam], although shotgun parrying still works normally for some attacks. In the case of the Malicious Face, attempting to shotgun parry its beam with no arms causes the shotgun to not shoot, no parry to occur, and the shotgun to be unable to fire again until it is unequipped and re-equipped again.

Both of these bugs are pretty niche and almost never affect normal gameplay, but I figured they'd be worth bringing up somewhere. This also probably isn't the place to say it, but thanks to all the devs for your hard work on the game. <3

Ground slams can break any boards you come across. Your ground slam damage hitbox is marginally larger than your own collision hitbox, meaning you will always be able to be them, unless they block an upward path (which never occurs). Not saying this is a solution, but it does mean the myth that you can't beat the game without arms is false.

Oh yeah, I don't doubt it's possible to beat the game armless. Just reporting some bugs that involve armlessness.

Thank you for bringing attention how the armless bugs work, for weeks there's been reports of it, but I've never been able to even trigger it, let alone replicate it
