Description

Chaos Bullets is a passive item and a bullet upgrade .

Effects

  • Bullets gain random bullet effects and can travel at differing velocities. The chances for all effects are listed below.
  • Bounce: 10%
  • Pierce: 10%
  • Chaos Bullets will continue attempting to stack bounces and pierces onto a bullet until it fails, or reaches 10 bouncing/piercing. This means that a projectile that already gained a bounce has another 10% chance to gain an additional bounce, and then another 10% chance to gain a third, etc.
  • For each additional application of piercing, Chaos Bullets will pierce two more enemies, while for each additional application of bouncing Chaos Bullets will only bounce one extra time.
  • Fat BulletsFat Bullets (between 25% and 75% above normal size): 10%
  • Unlike with the actual Fat BulletsFat Bullets item, the fat bullets effect on Chaos Bullets only affects bullet size, and not damage.

Notes

  • Bullets can gain multiple effects. This is more likely when using items like Ring of TriggersRing of Triggers .
  • Considering this item causes fired bullets to travel at random velocities, it is recommended to drop it before attempting WinchesterWinchester 's game in order to be able to time shots properly.
  • If duplicates of this item are somehow obtained, further increases the chance of bullets having a random effect and allows multiple effects to appear on a single bullet.

Trivia

  • The pickup line is a reference to the Skittles slogan "Taste the Rainbow".
  • The item image is likely a reference to Smashing Pumpkin's song "Bullet With Butterfly Wings"
  • The item image may also reference the "butterfly effect" of chaos theory.
