Sadly, the Chicken needs to go

[Poki]

Seriously, this charm mod is simply too strong to exist.
I know this is a singleplayer game and I can simply choose to not pick this piece, but it leaves a sour taste in the mouth knowing I skipped an option that would garantee the win.

No single piece of equipment should be this strong, the piece must be reworked or the DMG bonus should be heavily capped so it is more in line with other gear pieces of the same tier.

I've never even seen it pop up in game and I unlocked it ages ago.

I think the only players that actually see use out of it are those that live and breathe these games.

Casual players have no clue what you're talking about.

I thought the goal of the game is to be so strong at the end you can kill everything. Last run i have so much armor and life regeneration i could face tank The tree man elite Boss (don't know his name) and not even lose 1 hp.

Single player game so why that must be gone?

Hey, I passed that whole thing up there through Google Translate and this is what came out:

"I've found a thing that ruins the game for me in a single player game, and I have no self-restraint to not use it, so I'll ask for it to be removed for everyone else who may actually enjoy feeling slightly overpowered. I'm just that weak-willed and weak-minded."

Seems accurate to me.

You may have seen someone say, just take chicken, it's a win button.
You might not have seen, and I think this is good news, chicken charm was bugged and they patched it.
It's still great, if you follow the text on it and keep your distance from bosses. Now you can be overpowered with whichever charm you like. As TsMonkeyPatch says, 'the goal of the game is to be so strong at the end you can kill everything', and it's fun to find all the many ways to do this.

I get what you're saying. Like super strong overpowered feels awesome and should be part of the game but ideally you can feel overpowered with other charms too. If you were getting the nagging feeling that you're gimping yourself if you didn't upgrade your ducky into a chicken, worry no more!

I think some people just enjoy ruining fun for everyone else because they don't like something or think it's OP. Then they whine and the devs think everyone wants that nerf it.
It's not even a competitive game. I want to eventually feel OP in games like this, but nerfs just ruin everything.

That's one area vampire survivors is better, that you become a god by the end of the run.

It's not that great. Isnt even used to kill the secret boss.

Ideally, you should make yourself overpowered by combining pieces and making a good synergy, not by picking a SINGLE piece of gear that simply makes any shot one-hit kill everything offscreen, even bosses.

Can someone explain what this chicken mod does that it's so OP for some people?

The further away you are from miniboss/demiboss/final boss, the more damage you do. I assume if you gave your weapon homing and boosted up the range it would be some some of supremely borked balance sublimating weapon of ultra mega giga death.

It should give you an attack boost related to your distance to the active boss.

The problem is that once you kill a boss it gives an infinite amount of damage boost related to your distance to the corpse of the boss, so when you pick it and kill a boss you immediately start one-shotting everything on screen.

They fixed it though. It doesn't give that abnormal amount anymore.

Yeap, I was thinking the same because there was a note in a recent patch notes that said that it was bugged and not working as intended and it was solved, if I remember correctly.
"Fixed an issue where the 'Chicken Charm' provided an incorrect amount of Bullet Damage", this is from like 2 patches ago...

[Banzai]

I just noticed OP doesn't own the game, and is complaining about a bug that was fixed after release on steam.

Are you running a .... legit version of the game? In the current steam build that issue got fixed, it's still strong, but not broken.
