Just A Box

The ultimate in stealth technology. Surprise attacks deal additional damage.

No one is perceptive enough to see through such an elaborate ruse.

Box is an active item in Enter the Gungeon.

Effects

While wearing the box, enemies will not target the player. Most actions other than moving will remove the box, including firing a weapon, charging a weapon, dodge rolling, flipping a table, and using teleporters.
- Firing a shot while under the box deals double damage and removes the box.
- Reloading does not remove the box, even if the player has Hip Holster.
- Bosses will not attack the player until they reveal themselves.
Box can be used to steal from shops as long as it is activated before entering the shop.

Apiary - If the player has Bee Hive, it turns into an apiary and automatically regenerates ammo over time.
Flat Stanley - If the player has Mailbox, the Mailbox's clip size is reduced by 50% and its reload time is reduced by 33%, allowing packages to be fired more often.
I need scissors! 61! - If the player also has Trank Gun, Trank Gun changes appearance, its rate of fire is decreased, damage and reload time are increased, and its bullets will inflict slow and stun.
Pretty Good - If the player has SAA, coolness is increased by 2.
What A Thrill - If the player has Patriot, it has a chance to transmogrify enemies into snakes.

Has no effect if used while enemies are already targeting the player.
While it has no effect on regular bosses as already stated, you can use this to be hidden for the first phase of the Resourceful Rat’s boss fight.
