The Scrambler
The Scrambler fires unhatched bullet eggs, each close to hatching. Upon impact, a swarm of newborn bullets is released, hungry for their first meal!
Description
The Scrambler is a gun which fires bullets that hatch into 5 homing bullets. The homing bullets allow the Gungeoneer to maintain a safe distance from enemies and bosses while also dealing considerable damage.

Weird Egg] Notes
- The homing pellets will always track the enemy closest to the player, not those closest to the point of impact.

- [
Shock Rounds] and [
Ghost Bullets] apply to both the egg bullet and seeker.

- [
Remote Bullets] apply to the egg bullet but not the seekers.
- If Red Gunjurers capture the bullets, they still retain their homing.
