Died because of the popcorn relic.

So if you get the relic that makes your shots explode, then get a shield familiar that circles
around you, when you shoot the minion the shot explodes in your face dealing
damage to you..

is that intentional? if so then having shield familiars and that relic is pretty much death guaranteed. it killed me anyways

[petco130]

There are pets that do specifically state that they block enemy bullets, and I think one (thus far) that blocks your bullets; unfortunately, that does mean that a) it is intentional and b) incentivizes the player to avoid eggs especially when they have popcorn or other explosive based weapons.

There are two several in fact that i've discovered to my detriment...aka death.

1. Variant Ball
2. Rock
3. Eight Ball
4. Blue Brick

They will kill you if you have explosive on your weapon.

That sucks because it's as if they don't want you to use it at all considering eggs are a huge part of each run, I'd most likely just avoid it completely for now on considering it's friendly fire but it is useful considering bombs aren't that common.

Avoiding every egg I come across just because of one item seems annoying unless you have that one character that can stop eggs from hatching.. I guess I just won't pick it anymore.

The vibrant ball would have killed you. It is the most aids pet and Is much more harmful than it is helpful.

Yea, the vibrant ball is really the only thing in the game that can really ruin your run and needs to be reworked or just removed imo

[imuyloco]

Yeah it was that floating silver ball that killed me, didn't know it was so annoying though but I guess i'm not the only one that hates it

Pretty sure only the vibrant ball blocks friendly shots

Only the Vibrant Ball does block projectiles.

We're aware of the issue and are working on a fix/addressing this pet!

Just an update on this, the experimental branch currently has the vibrant ball taken out which you can try now here: https://steamcommunity.com/games/788100/announcements/detail/2753339286193349786

Though a full hotfix for it will come soon! :)

[imuyloco]

Alright i'll give it a try, thanks for all the hard work the game is awesome!

Had my first beast mode run, which included popcorn. Took a good bit of damage due to the vibrant ball, didn't understand what was going on for a bit.

Went to a store, bought the messenger, fired a few shots to try it, then realized my mistake as the bullets doubled back. Kaboom, slo-mo death. It was awesome :D. Wish I had thought of taking a screenshot.
