Notes

  • Boxing Glove can be charged without 3 stars, but will still fire a regular punch.
  • Taking damage or switching weapons removes all stars.
  • The 3 star punch bypasses boss DPS cap .
  • Using the super punch on enemies that spawn additional enemies on death, such as King Bullats and Blobulons , will prevent them from spawning additional enemies.
  • Enemies killed with the super punch will not drop any . Additionally, Keybullet Kin and Chance Kin killed with the super punch will not drop any pickups.
  • Mimics killed with the super punch will not drop any items or guns.
  • Using the super punch consumes all three stars, whether or not it hits an enemy.
  • Taping it to another gun with [Duct Tape] will make it always fire a 3 star punch after charging.

Trivia

  • This weapon's function is a reference to Mike Tyson's Punch Out!! . Its pickup quote is a reference to Piston Honda, one of the boxers in the game. In later Punch-Out games, the character's name was changed to Piston Hondo, more closely matching the pickup quote.
  • The Boxing Glove itself is an example of the Extendo Boxing Glove trope and could have been inspired by or a reference to an extendable boxing glove toy or any work featuring a similar device.
  • Like some other cursed weapons, the Boxing Glove increases curse because melee weapons are rejected in the Gungeon.
