AKEY-47
Can unlock chests.
The AKey-47 is a masterpiece of Gungeoncraft, perfectly combining the masterful gunplay of an [
AK-47] with the incredibly useful ability to open locks. An inscription along the frame reads, "EX ARCHA, LIBERTAS."
Description
AKEY-47 is a gun that fires keys. Shooting a locked chest or door will unlock it. Alternatively, opening a chest or door with the AKEY-47 equipped will unlock it for free.
Synergies
If the player has the [
Shelleton Key] , AKEY-47 fires skulls that do 10 damage per skull, receives infinite ammo, and changes in appearance to resemble a Shelleton. Its shots will no longer open locks or reveal secret rooms, though chests can still be opened due to possessing the [Shelleton Key] .
If the player has obtained this synergy via [
Lich's Eye Bullets] , opening a chest or door with the AKEY-47 equipped will still unlock it for free.
Shelleton Key] Notes
- Has identical statistics to the [AK-47] .
- Can be sold by Flynt for 3 keys once unlocked.
- Its bullets cannot open the padlocks on the trapdoor to the Oubliette and the tunnel to the Resourceful Rat's Lair ; however, they can be opened by hand for free with the AKEY-47 equipped. However, AKEY-47 cannot be used in place of the Gnawed Key to open the lock on the hatch that drops down to the Resourceful Rat's Lair , and as of v2.0.6 , cannot open the doors and chests that require special keys dropped by Resourceful Rat.
- If a lock no longer functions because of [
Trusty Lockpicks] , shooting it with AKEY-47 will not open it.
Door locks (ones that look similar to Flynt ) that are no longer functional, due to failure of [Trusty Lockpicks] , can still be opened with AKEY-47.
- Shooting a chest with AKEY-47 can still break it, if it has already been damaged and is close to breaking. For this reason it is always better to open a chest with the gun equipped instead of shooting it.
Trivia
- The inscription "Ex Archa, Libertas" is a reference to the Latin phrase "Ex gladio libertas", or 'From the sword, freedom', with 'Archa', the word for 'Chest', replacing 'gladio', the word for sword.
- The synergy Akey Breaky is probably a reference to the song Achy Breaky Heart popularized by Billy Ray Cyrus.
