Fires projectiles from the target position towards the gun. Because Tachyons are particles that move faster than light, the Hegemony of Man has long used them for interstellar communication. As with all technology, it was eventually weaponized. However- tachyons travel backward in time, making this gun hard to aim.

The Fat Line is a gun that appears in Enter the Gungeon.

Effects

• Fires purple particles, which start at the furthest wall in the direction that the gun is aimed, and travel back towards the gun. These particles will travel through walls to reach the player.
  • These projectiles are spread out in the same way as regular bullets, but in reverse. Just like how a regular guns spread increases with distance, The Fat Line's spread increases with the players distance from the target wall.
• These bullets travel to where the barrel of The Fat Line was when they were fired. Moving with the gun while the particle is in-flight will not update its trajectory.
• Bullets will curve and home in on enemies as they travel.

Item Interactions

• Orbital Bullets - As bullets from The Fat Line rarely collide with walls, Orbital Bullets is largely useless. Despite this, it is still possible for shots from The Fat Line to orbit if they hit an obstacle they cannot pierce through, such as the pillars in the Treadnaughts boss-room.
• Backup Gun - Interacts as expected, with a secondary group of particles moving towards the gun from behind the player.
• Remote Bullets - Affects effectiveness very negatively, as bullets coming from the walls will quickly curve back into the wall no matter where the player aims, making the ability to hit enemies near impossible.

Unused and Cut Content

• Unused: - With the Combined Rifle, if an enemy is killed by the Combined Rifle's energy ball, any bullets that the enemy had fired will slow down significantly. Additionally, the energy ball will release a burst of The Fat Line's shots upon dissipating.
• Unused: - If the player has Super Hot Watch, it causes an unknown effect.
• This gun appeared in earlier press versions of the Advanced Gungeons & Draguns Update but was cut from the full release, eventually being added back into the game with the release of A Farewell to Arms.
• This version of the gun was called the Tachyon Gun, and had the Ammonomicon quote "Time Traveller's Gun".

Notes

• Does not reveal Secret Rooms.
• Fixed Bug In early versions of the AG&D Update, this gun could appear in Blessed Mode- despite not being finished or officially released.
• In hypothetical physics, Tachyons are particles which always travel faster than the speed of light, allowing them to travel backwards in time. The existence of such particles would violate the known laws of physics, and no examples of this behaviour have ever been observed.
• This gun is a reference to the Fatline, a faster-than-light communications system used by the Hegemony of Man in the Dan Simmons novel Hyperion. This communications system functioned by the use of tachyons.
