Alien Sidearm is a gun in Enter the Gungeon and Exit the Gungeon. Its behaviour is starkly different in each game.
Behaviour
ETG
The player may either click to fire small, weak projectiles, or charge the weapon to fire stronger, larger blasts.
XTG
The gun is permanently in its 
Chief Master form from Enter the Gungeon, retaining its blue appearance and full auto firing. In addition, projectiles fired by the Alien Sidearm have a chance to be replaced by their charged form, and at the end of each clip the gun will fire three charged shots simultaneously in a triangular cluster.
SynergiesETG
- Chief Master - If the player also has any two Master Rounds, Alien Sidearm gains an increased maximum ammo of 500 and a larger magazine of 30. It becomes fully automatic, and the final two shots in the magazine become fully-charged shots.
- Spartan Loadout - If the player has Cat Claw, Alien Sidearm can be charged twice to fire a more powerful shot. Cat Claw pierces enemies, attaching its explosive to every enemy hit.
- If the player has both Spartan Loadout and Chief Master, Chief Master takes precedence.
- If the player has both
- The relatively high damage of its fully charged shots combined with its large ammo pool make the Alien Sidearm a decent early-game room clearer.
Notes
- This gun is a reference to the alien pistols usable in Halo.
- Shield Breaker is a reference to Halo's famous shield mechanic.
- The charging mechanic is also a function of Halo's plasma pistol. A fully charged shot from that gun could instantly break another player's shields in multiplayer.
- Upon obtaining the Chief Master synergy, the weapon more closely resembles in design and function Halo's Plasma Rifle rather than the Plasma Pistol.
