Micro-transaction Gun?

[Rosestorm]

I see this listed on the store page, what does that gun do?

[Empathy (They/It)]

Uses your casings (money) as ammo. Has a funny description.

I died before I could see if it was good, though.

It is not.

It's exactly what empathy said. You can get it in the main game, but if you buy the dlc you can get it earlier

I for one got it when the cobalt hammer dlc was broken and gave you the micro-transaction gun instead of the cobalt hammer, and then they changed it and I got cobalt hammer.

It does pretty weak damage from what I've seen

how do you get it earlier, and where do you get it?? I expected to get it right from the start

It's the final item in the primary shop unless you get it via pay 2 pay more and potentially win.

It's actually VEEEEEERY powerful, but every shot of it effectively hurts your run until you're at a point where shops stop. Also it can potentially unlock locked rooms, which gives it an occasional way to save you money.

When you unlock guns in the game they are simply added to the item pool that appears in shops/chests etc.

To unlock the gun you can either buy all the other unlocks in the in-game shop (which requires a ton of in-game currency dropped from bosses) then pay a large amount of in-game currency to unlock it, or just pay for the DLC.

It's basically a joke weapon though so really not worth it, unless you were planning to get the deluxe edition anyway (deluxe only has the soundtrack, a crappy comic and the microtransction gun, so not really worth it IMO)..

I was thinking of getting this game and wondered if the ce was worth the purcahse, so your comment helped me immensely. I was wondering though, is it smart to not unlock some items as to give you a higher chance of seeing the ones you do unlock in your drop pool?

Reviving an old thread, but sure.

Never was a fan of tipping the odds to my favor, purchasing all is the way to go imo.

I understand your thinking, but most of the "best"/most powerful/most useful guns and items are late-game drops or only available for unlocking after earlier, less useful guns are purchased.

In general, there's no point to NOT unlock higher-tier rewards. I'd rather have a 1-in-15 chance of finding a Beholster than a 1-in-3 chance of finding a Klobbe during a run, for example. ;)

Microtransaction gun is only good in bullet hell.
Mostly because there is no use for bullet casings in hell. The dps isnt even that good.

[Carrier Pidgeons]

DPS for the gun is..."acceptable", but the synergies with otherwise worthless items like the Stache and whatnot give it a rare but good reason to use it. It's also decent Bullet-Hellwise, as ammo (used to) get really tight there.
