Description

Explosive Decoy is an active item. Invented by Winchester but eventually discarded in frustration after he spent hours trying to coax someone into playing his game, only to find it was his own decoy.

Effects

  • Places a decoy that enemies will target. The decoy will explode after taking enough damage or after roughly 11 seconds, dealing 30 damage to nearby enemies.
  • Can be used to steal from shops while placed (until it explodes).

Synergies

Hardwood:

If the player also has MahogunyMahoguny , it will fire three explosive shots at a time.

Notes

  • Items cannot be purchased from a shop with an explosive decoy in it; stealing is the only option. It shares this effect with the regular DecoyDecoy , but because it explodes after a short period, it's less problematic if the player intends to buy something from a shop after stealing.
