Meta Info
Sprite Name:
crutch
Crutch is a passive item in Enter the Gungeon.
Effects
- All bullets fired by the player slightly curve towards enemies.
Synergies ETG
Smart Bombs - If the player also has Bomb or Ice Bomb, bombs home in on enemies.- Pea Cannon - if the player also has Pea Shooter, its damage is increased and shots cause small explosions.
Item Interactions
Helix Bullets - The homing ability of projectiles is not overridden, but is significantly weakened by the forced helical motion imparted by Helix Bullets.
Notes
- The homing of this item appears to stack with guns whose projectiles already home, allowing them to turn faster towards their targets.
- Similarly, if duplicates of this item are somehow obtained, bullets home in on enemies more strongly, turning faster to reach their target.
- Heavy Bullets works well with this item if the player plans to rely on the homing, giving bullets more airtime to home in on enemies.
- A "crutch" within multiplayer games usually refers to an item that helps low skill players while hindering high skill players (though usually by opportunity cost); the crutch item does this, as it may curve bullets away from a further high-priority target you were aiming for in favor of arching towards a closer low-threat target.
- The Pea Cannon synergy is a reference to the game Plants Vs. Zombies Garden Warfare, in which splash damage from the Peashooter class's primary weapon is used as a crutch for aiming. This is a common trope in other games in which a weapon has high splash damage.
