Notes

  • Pre-Upgrade Effect Notes: - The explosion effect does not apply to the gun that SlingerSlinger throws upon reloading, nor does it apply to the regular shots of the BananaBanana. - Thrown guns will be lost if thrown into a pit.
  • Post-Upgrade Effect Notes: - Charged rolls are still modified by items that modify the regular dodge roll, though possibly not by damage multipliers such as Live AmmoLive Ammo. - Only the first half of your dodge roll, the part where you're immune to enemy projectiles, benefits from the charge. - After you acquire the charge, dodge rolling without hitting anyone maintains it. - Taking damage discharges your charged-up rolls. - Stopping your movement discharges your charged-up rolls. - Suddenly moving backwards discharges your charged-up rolls because it briefly stops movement. - Dealing damage with a dodge roll discharges your charged-up rolls, even if the charge bonus isn't applied.

Trivia

  • The Ruby Bracelet is a vestige of the game's early development, as its upgraded description and its history with the Blacksmith allude to. There are other fully-coded items that would also modify thrown guns, such as the Ring of Giant Strength and notably the Emerald Bracelet , which were presumably pulled from the game when the mechanic was reevaluated.
  • The Blacksmith still hates the Ruby Bracelet after its reforging, or at least feels some remorse for having changed it.
