The Kiln

Fires PotsSemiautomatic

Gungeoneers tend to have little regard for the decorative pottery found throughout the Gungeon. To help quickly replace the broken decorations, custodians commissioned this pot producing pistol. This earliest version fired the pots with too much velocity, and was therefore discarded.

Notes

  • Don't Worry About The Vase - If the player has any Ammolet , destroying small breakable objects (vases, barrels, etc.) has a small chance to activate a blank effect.
  • The trajectory of the bouncing crystals seem to have a somewhat fixed central point on the four cardinal directions; this means that firing a gun from an extremely almost-parallel angle towards the wall will still seem to produce an oddly perpendicular bounce (examples pictured)
  • Normal Kiln Shot (trajectory roughly perpendicular to the wall translating into a bounce in the opposite direction, still perpendicular)
  • Kiln shot bounce perpendicular to the wall (even though the shot trajectory is supposed to be more parallel, going upwards)

Trivia

  • This gun is a reference to The Legend of Zelda series, where thrown pots can be used to deal damage. The crystals that the pots break into are also a reference to rupees in The Legend of Zelda.
  • Kiln is also an Anagram for Link, the protagonist of The Legend of Zelda.
  • The synergy Don’t Worry About The Vase is a reference to The Matrix .
  • A kiln is a furnace or oven used for burning, baking, or "firing" pottery.
