3rd Party Controller

Assuming Direct ControlAutomatic

Allows for direct control of foes. Purchased as a gift for a child of the Gungeon, upon their first successful trip to the mines. Due to an unfortunate combination of exceptional clumsiness and a living space full of pits, the controller was soon lost to the depths of the Gungeon. One of the sticks is extremely wiggly.

Notes

  • Mad Cats - If the player also has [Cat Bullet King Throne] , the bullets shot from [Cat Bullet King Throne] home in on enemies while 3rd Party Controller is equipped.
  • Controlled enemies do not deal contact damage to the player, and can be killed safely by rolling over them.
  • Standing close to enemies also deals a small amount of constant damage to them while controlled.
  • Enemies can be controlled so that they walk into pits.
  • Some enemies can be made to fire much faster than usual, such as Shotgun Kin , who can shoot as fast as their animation with no reload time. This can be dangerous since the normal waves of bullets can fill the screen instead.
  • Bosses cannot be controlled.

Trivia

  • The Mad Cats synergy is a reference to MadCatz Interactive , formerly one of the leading producers of third-party gaming controllers.
  • "Assuming Direct Control" is a reference to Harbinger from "Mass Effect 2" who, before gaining control over any regular enemy, would announce it by saying this phrase.
  • During the reloading animation of this gun, the Gungeoneer destroys the controller and takes out a new one.
  • The description implies that the 3rd Party Controller belonged to The Cultist .
