Notes

  • Kailber k'pow uboom k'bhang - If the player also has [Holey Grail] , [Cursed Bullets] , or [Yellow Chamber] , the split soul initially moves towards the player instead of away.
  • If the player has [Scattershot] or [Helix Bullets] , each bullet that hits will spawn a soul, and the damage dealt by collecting souls is not decreased.
  • [Helix Bullets] causes souls to quickly travel towards the player and stop right in front of them, making them easy to collect.
  • [Remote Bullets] causes souls to move towards the crosshair.
  • [Fat Bullets] increase the size of the souls, allowing the player to collect them more easily.
  • Souls cannot be picked up during the player's invincibility frames after being hit.
  • Damage dealt by the souls bypasses the boss DPS cap.
  • Stealing a boss's soul can damage bosses while in normally undamageable states, such as when Blobulord is split into smaller Blobulon -looking bullets.
  • This gun is especially useful in co-op play, as souls can be collected by a partner or even the partner's ghost.
  • When fighting the Ammoconda , souls only appear when you hit the head of the snake.

Trivia

  • You can kill the Gunreaper by shooting once and taking his soul. You cannot, though, kill the Lord of the Jammed with it, as the bullets just phase through it.
  • The synergy Kailber k'pow uboom k'bhang is most likely a reference to the term "ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn" of the H.P Lovecraft story "Call of Cthulhu".
  • This gun is most likely a dual reference to both Soulcalibur, a fighting game series featuring a demonic blade that turns its host into a nightmarish abomination similar to what the Entry physically describes the gun as, and Soul Reaver, a spinoff game from the Legacy of Kain series starring an undead vampire that consumes the souls of his slain foes. Additionally, the flowery style the gun description is in is highly reminiscent of the dialogue style in the Legacy of Kain series.
  • The damage done by stepping on enemies souls is known internally as 'Soul Burn' [ 1 ] .
  • The maximum ammo of the High Kaliber is a reference to the biblical Number of the beast (666).
