Damage is a Stat in Enter the Gungeon, which determines how much damage the players various Guns can inflict on Enemies. It is among the most important stats in the game.

The default Damage for all Gungeoneers is 1, however the Convict starts each run with the Enraging Photo which temporarily multiplies damage by 2 after taking damage. Because Damage is a multiplier, a damage stat of 1 means all guns deal 100% damage, while a damage stat of 1.2 means all guns deal 120% damage.

Specific Damage Interactions

Most Companions, unless otherwise specified, benefit from the player's damage stat.

• Blasphemy - While the sword beam projectile is affected by the damage stat, the melee slash is not, and always deals 14 damage.
• Slinger - The gun that is thrown when the Slinger is reloaded is not affected by the damage stat, and always deals 4 damage.
• Casey - While the initial melee swing of Casey is affected by the damage stat, both reflected enemy bullets and launched enemy corpses are not.
• Bullet, Shell - The smaller bullets spawned from these guns main projectile are not affected by the damage stat.
• Vorpal Gun, Vorpal Bullets - Critical shot damage is affected by the damage stat.

Notes

• Because damage increasing synergies actually affect the player's stats rather than modifying the target gun directly, it means they can inadvertently benefit items other than the gun they were intended for such as companions.
  • For example, holding the Flare Gun with the Emergency Help synergy will also increase the damage of bullet-firing companions by 50%.
