Description

Hyper Light Blaster is a gun that fires pink lasers. Though it has very low maximum ammo, hitting an enemy will restore 1 ammo.

Synergies

Hard Light:

If the player also has the [Light GunLight Gun] , Hyper Light Blaster's magazine size and maximum ammo is increased by 50% and it gains homing. [Light GunLight Gun] gains a chance to regenerate two ammo when hitting enemies. When reloading with the new appearance caused by the Hard Light synergy, the appearance will revert to the original for the duration of the reload.

Notes

  • Picking up [Drum ClipDrum Clip] will increase the magazine size without increasing ammo capacity, meaning the player will be unable to restore more than the original number of bullets when picking up ammo.
  • Shots that hit the rats in the room with the trapdoor leading to the Resourceful Rat's Lair , in the Black Powder Mine - and the ones with candles in the Lair itself - will restore ammo.
  • Hitting enemies with [Hip HolsterHip Holster] bullets will restore ammo.
  • It is still possible to restore ammo while hitting an enemy in its death animation.
  • Shots affected by [Vorpal BulletsVorpal Bullets] will not restore ammo, even if they hit an enemy.
  • Bullets from other guns fired via [Chance BulletsChance Bullets] will not restore ammo.
  • Special bullets fired by [Bloody 9mmBloody 9mm] will not restore ammo, even if they hit an enemy.
  • Only Hyper Light Blaster's bullets will restore ammo if another gun is [Duct TapeDuct Tape] to it.
  • Shots that hit curse jars will not restore ammo.
  • Shots that hit chests will not restore ammo.
  • If a mimic that has not yet been awakened is hit with a bullet, it will not restore ammo.

Trivia

  • This gun, as well as its effect, is a reference to the game Hyper Light Drifter . The sprite of this gun is almost the same as the Pistol from Hyper Light Drifter.
  • The tagline is a quote from one of the monoliths seen in-game.
  • Despite this, Hyper Light Blaster behaves differently from Hyper Light Drifter's pistol, where hitting enemies with the sword restores ammo rather than the gun itself. This change is mentioned in its Ammonomicon entry.
  • The Hard Light synergy changes the gun's appearance from the pistol to Zaliska, another gun from Hyper Light Drifter. The name of this synergy references the melee weapons in the Hyper Light Drifter universe being made of hard light.
  • Whenever ammo is refunded, the center of the gun is opened, revealing a red, glowing core.
