Notes

  • Not So Sawed-Off - If the player also has [Buzzkill] , [Buzzkill] 's saw blades move slower and are linked with lightning.
  • Twin Snakes - If the player also has [Snakemaker] , all of the Rattler's shots become beams that have a chance to poison and the [Snakemaker] 's shots gain a homing effect.
  • Despite visually appearing to be and firing like a shotgun, the Rattler is not a part of the SHOTGUN gun class and as such does not benefit from the Shotgun Affinity synergy.

Trivia

  • The pickup line, "Snakes on A Gun," is a reference to the film Snakes on a Plane .
  • The Twin Snakes synergy is a reference to the Metal Gear Solid series.
  • The gun's name is likely a reference to the poem "The Rattler," in which a man is confronted by a snake similar in color to the one wrapped around the gun.
