Enter the Gungeon Challenge Builds

[Teratto]

I've noticed that people get bored with this game very quickly after beating it, so I've decided to quickly tell some of my favorite "challenge" builds to give myself using Mod the Gungeon to make the game more difficult.

1. Klobbe Run

This one is simple. Start off with convict, 3 ancient hero's bandanas, one muscle relaxant, and the Klobbe. No other guns are allowed, but passives and actives are fine. This offers a low damage build that makes killing bosses extremely difficult.
Code:
Give Anceint_heros_bandana 3
Give muscle_relaxant
Give klobbe
(Make sure to equip the bandanas first, or the klobbe won't get the boost in extra ammo!)

2. Blinding Bullets (Can lag/crash the game!)

Start off with the Pilot 4 scattershots. That's it. This makes your bullets do low damage and go EVERYWHERE, providing more of an AoE attack than anything. It becomes hard to see the enemy bullets because of just how many of yours show up on screen at once. If you want an extra challenge, don't use the Pilot, because his bullets contrast more with the enemy bullets. (There are broken combos with this build such as light gun shooting a crap ton of homing ducks, so be mindful if you want a challenge.)
Code:
Give scattershot 4

3. Who needs luck?

This one is probably the hardest out of the three. You are not allowed to interact or shoot ANY of the chests that are generated within the game. Instead, whenever you encounter a chest, spawn a brown chest instead. This forces you to get low quality guns and focus on skill rather than RNG. If you want, replace brown chests with blue chests, or just turn every chest you see into one of lower quality. (For example, if you get a black chest, spawn a red chest instead.)
Code:
spawn chest <color>

Please tell me more suggestions, as I would like more challenge builds!

What's Hot Lead and Cartographer's Ring for?

[Teratto]

Woah, these are really good. I really like the camera one. I also tried a run using only the M1, ancient hero's bandana, and a muscle relaxant.

how about this ?

starter weapon only*

master rounds + glass guons are allowed

any time you unlock a chest:
replace the treasure with a bullet upgrade that shares the same tier of the item found

( although if you want you could substitute the item for an upgrade of a lesser tier )

shop items and earned items are not allowed to be replaced

duplicate upgrades are also not allowed

*if you really want on floor 4 give yourself an AK47 to sustain you



good luck!

Hyper Light Hunter

Start as Hunter and give yourself;
give cursed_bullets
give ancient_heros_bandana
give hyper_light_blaster
give supply_drop

Pray at the shrine at the beginning of the game and set curse to 9

You cannot;
-Use any ammo pick-ups except for the supply_drop (If you run out consider it a game over, basically but you can use your starter pistol)
-Unlock any chests and pickup any items/guns as chamber rewards
-You cannot make purchases from the shop or any other vendors (Unless it's a key you need to access secret chambers like the regular key or rat key)

You can;
-Pick up master rounds
-Pick up clear chamber rewards or whatever your dog finds in the room

If you want an easier time grab ammo pick-ups.

Edit: You could also use "give bloodied_scarf" with this challenge, I find this to be a really good synergy for the hyper light blaster.
