Masks of this design were used to explore primitive Gungeon-like structures filled with money, now referred to as "Mungeons". Anonymity was important to Mungeoneers of this time. The friendly clown design is thought to have helped Mungeoneers make peace with the native inhabitants.

Clown Mask is a passive item that appears in Enter the Gungeon.

Notes

  • Despite being a companion item, Clown Mask cannot be obtained from the Companion Shrine. This because the shrine searches for items with the CompanionItem code class, while the Clown Mask uses the class BankMaskItem.
  • The Clown Mask and its companions are a reference to PAYDAY 2, and were added in a cross-promotional event.
    • In PAYDAY 2, this particular mask belongs to PAYDAY gang mastermind Dallas. The three different clown companions summoned by the mask are based on Wolf, Chains, and Houston/Hoxton, other members of the gang.
  • The 'Dallas' player sprite does not have a proper timefall animation for tumbling through time during the end credits of Enter the Gungeon. As a result, the player character will default to a tumbling skeleton.
  • CMV In the Chinese Mobile Version of Enter the Gungeon the USA flag on the Clown Mask and resulting player sprites is censored, changing the red stripes to blue ones. This includes the mouth of the mask.
  • Bug.png Bug Playstation 4 Occasionally, after traveling to the Marine's past, the player will be in a glitched state where they retain the appearance of Dallas and dodge rolling no longer provides invulnerability.
  • Bug.png Bug While on the Twitch launch system, buying clown mask has a chance for it to appear in the next shop.
  • Bug.png Bug Chain's shotgun bullets can be erased by the players Blank.png Blanks.
