Outrageous!

Sometimes the old ways are the best ways. Deals more damage to powerful foes.

This is not one of those old, best ways. The lowly sling is barely a gun, even by Gungeon standards. Only recommended as a last resort for serious Gungeoneers.

Sling is a gun in Enter the Gungeon.

Behaviour

• Charges up to sling fast moving rocks that can bounce once.
  • Rocks deal double damage after bouncing.
• Deals 2.5x damage to bosses.

Synergies ^ETG

• Slings and Arrows - If the player has Bow, the Bow can be charged longer to fire a special arrow that deals 50 damage.

Item Interactions

• Duct Tape - Projectiles from other guns taped onto the Sling will also deal 2.5x damage to bosses.

Notes

• Despite its Ammonomicon description, the Sling is among the most powerful tier weapons- especially against bosses.

• The Sling dealing additional damage against bosses is a reference to the biblical tale of David and Goliath, where David slays the giant Goliath by the use of his sling.
• Both the flavor text "Outrageous!" and the Slings and Arrows synergy are references to the famous "To be or not to be" soliloquy in Shakespeare's Hamlet, in which Hamlet refers to enduring "the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune".
