Should I buy Microtransaction gun?

[Helly]

I've got the 100 credits and then some, but I'm not sure if it'd be worth waiting for the paid DLC and hoping it comes with that.

I’m sure it’ll still cost 100 credits once the DLC comes out. It’s not a very good gun in my opinion but you have to unlock it at some point to get to the next level of stuff to buy (unless you’ve bought literally everything else)

I don't know if I just got lucky, but it's the last item in the shop - I've bought everything else in the game, and have seen every single gun/item in the gungeon except it.

I'm not sure about this, but I think it's always the last item to unlock. Only do it if you want to be a completionist, or if you have OCD, as you already know it's not a good weapon.

However (and I'm also not sure about this) if you just don't want to unlock it because you don't want to get it on drops, it has a reaaaally low drop rate. I've got Gunther, Makeshift Cannon and other rare guns way more times than Microtransaction gun (in 600 hours, I think I've got it 3 times).

Afaik all guns/items have the same drop rate, apart from a weighting system that guarentees you'll see an gun/item you just bought.

I'm not worried about getting it in-game - heck, sounds to me like a great gun for checking for mimics, with the small chance of unlocking the chest. I just want to conserve the 100 HC if I can help it, so I can buy more items from AG&D and potentially the unannounced DLC.

Hmmm, I don't have any proof of this, but I'm quite sure that not every item / gun has the same drop rates. Some have more chances than others to appearing; also, some increase their chances of appearing if you find x item before.

That's why I say that MicroGun has low rate, because it's one of the rarest items to find.

Besides this, if your concern is to have enough credits por AG&D, you'd better save those credits and not buy the gun for now, indeed.

i can attest to that. some high tier items have been droppig nonstop whereas the gunther was found roughly 3 times in total by me.

its not properly documented anywhere and it might just be a placebo, but it definetly feels asthough some items drop with a certain chance ,even though they are technically supposed to have equal chances.

beyond all shadow of a doubt it is definitely PRNG, not RNG.

also, no it's a terrible gun.

do not get it at all, because once you do, it will exist in the red and rainbow chest pool of loot; therefore, the gun has a chance to appear in place of another much more useful item/gun

if anyone actually knows specifics by the way, i'm almost positive there are rules that remove passives if you have others, not entirely but it very much seems like you almost never get two passive effects for your bullets on the same run, i've literally only had it once.

that is just straight up false. i have had multiple passives which all worked at the same time. it sounds to me to be more likely that you didn't understand what a certain passive does and bein the adult that you are blamed it on the game. can you give at the very least specifics on what exactly hasn't worked?

Hmmm, most of my runs I end with multiple passive items, so I'm not that sure about this...
Btw, what does the "P" in "PRNG" stand for? I just don't know what it means.
