Alphabetical!
The letter r looks like a gun.

It is rare, but not unheard of, for abstract concepts to take gun form when discussed near the Gungeon.

Lower Case r is a gun that appears in Enter the Gungeon and Exit the Gungeon. It fires a burst of 6 letter-shaped projectiles that spell out the word BULLET. While firing, the gun will voice out the word "bullet".

Synergies ETG

All synergies that affect what letters Lower Case r fires increase the base damage per letter from 2.2 to 5, and causes the gun to voice out whatever word was just fired.

  • Synergy.png Hacker - If the player also has Bracket Key, damage is increased by 25%.
  • Synergy.png Just In Case - If the player has Bomb, the gun becomes a capital letter R and transforms into a one shot rocket launcher. It fires the word ROCKET with cloud sprites when shot, and creates a cartoony BOOM cloud when it hits something.
  • Synergy.png Rabid - If the player has Angry Bullets, the words LOSER, DORK, CHUMP, NOODLE, and TAFFER are spelled out.
  • Synergy.png Radiant - If the player has Silver Bullets, the words SILVER, BLESSED, and WEREWOLF are spelled out. When it shoots "WEREWOLF", the firing sound is "DIE WEREWOLF DIE".
  • Synergy.png Ravishing - If the player has Charming Rounds, the words HANDSOME, CHARM, and CUTE are spelled out, and shots become charming.
  • Synergy.png Reactive - If the player has Explosive Rounds, the words ROCKET, BOOM, KABOOM, and POW are spelled out, and shots become explosive.
  • Synergy.png Reanimate - If the player has Ghost Bullets, the words SPOOKY, GHOST, and BOO are spelled out.
  • Synergy.png Reinforced - If the player has +1 Bullets, BULLET+1 is spelled out.
  • Synergy.png Remnant - If the player has Omega Bullets, an omega appears after BULLET.
  • Synergy.png Replete - If the player also has Finished Gun, the words COWABUNGA, BOOYAKASHA, THANK YOU, THANKS, HASTA LA VISTA, TOODLES, GOODBYE, FAREWELL, and GAME OVER are spelled out.
  • Synergy.png Research - If the player has Book of Chest Anatomy, the words CHEST and MIMIC are spelled out, and the gun can unlock locked chests and doors.
  • Synergy.png Resplendent - If the player has Gilded Bullets, the words CASH, COINS, SHELLS, and GOLD are spelled out.
  • Synergy.png Root - If the player has Alpha Bullets, an alpha appears before BULLET.
  • Synergy.png Runic - If the player has Magic Bullets, the words ABRA and KADABRA are spelled out, and the words turn dark purple.

Unused and Cut Content

  • The upper case form of the gun used in the Synergy.png Just In Case synergy was developed as its own gun with its own name and description. Before being turned into a synergy.

Uppercase R
ALPHABETICAL!
The uppercase version of the letter r.

Although the uppercase version of the “r” character does not resemble a gun, the space between the two lower markings does create a kind of chute shape, and chute sounds a lot like shoot. The rest is obvious.

Notes

  • The Lower Case r is voiced by Doseone, the composer of Enter the Gungeons soundtrack.
  • This gun, while obviously a surface level reference to the basic shape of the letter r, may also be a reference to early computer adventure games. These early games used ASCII art comprised of letters and numbers to render a game world.
  • The reload animation of the Lower Case r consists of a text cursor deleting the letter with a backspace, and typing an entirely new r.
  • The impact animation of Lower Case rs bullets consists of the spelled word 'BLAM!' rather than an actual impact.
  • The Ammonomicon quote "Alphabetical!" may be a reference to early seasons of the show Adventure Time, where the protagonist Finn sometimes exclaims "Mathematical!".
  • The word "TAFFER" which can be fired with Angry Bullets is a reference to the same word used as an insult by guards in Thief: The Dark Project.
  • The synergy Radiant may be a visual pun referencing Radiant Silvergun.
  • Dave Crooks has agreed with Reddit suggestions that the Lower Case r should change the pitch and speed of Doseones voice acting depending on the players Rate of Fire.[1] However, this was never implemented.
  • All of Lower Case r's synergies which modify the words fired were created based on the suggestion of a Reddit post by user u/XelNecra. The post directly describes the Synergy.png Rabid, Synergy.png Ravishing, Synergy.png Reinforced, Synergy.png Root, and Synergy.png Remnant synergies, while suggesting that more could be created for other bullet modifiers.

Bugs

  • If both scattershot and explosive rounds are also held, occasionally fires multiple words on a single trigger pull.
