Synergies

Spelunker:

If the player also has [Blast Helmet] , dodge rolling will create a small explosion behind the player instead of firing bullets. Note: Explosions will hurt the other player if playing co-op.

[Blast Helmet]

Effects

  • Dodge rolling fires a spread of five bullets backwards, which deal 8 damage each.
  • Increases movement speed by 1 (approximately 14%).

Notes

  • Gunboots has a cooldown of about 2 seconds between bursts of bullets.
  • Can be used to break targets in [Winchester] 's game.
  • Double Down - If the player also has [Springheel Boots] , the cooldown is removed and every roll will fire bullets.
  • Spelunker - If the player also has [Blast Helmet] , dodge rolling will create a small explosion behind the player instead of firing bullets. Note: Explosions will hurt the other player if playing co-op.
  • The bullets can reveal secret rooms. The Shopkeeper ignores Gunboots firing in the Shop , even if a bullet makes contact with him, making it useful for finding secret rooms in the shop.
  • Passive items like [Hot Lead] , [Frost Bullets ] , and [Irradiated Lead] affect the bullets. Strangely, the bullets are not affected by [Bouncy Bullets] .
  • [Remote Bullets] will cause these bullets to home in on the cursor.
  • Killing enemies with the bullets counts as a kill for the equipped weapon for metronome.
  • This item is affected by [Macho Brace] .
  • If duplicates of this item are somehow obtained, increases the damage of the Gunboots' bullets and further increases player's movement speed. Interestingly, rather than increasing the damage of the bullets, it shoots another set of bullets stacked upon the first. This is most apparent when using the [Scouter] .

Trivia

  • This item, it's flavor text, and possibly its method of unlock (found in the elevator by Tailor) are a reference to Downwell .
  • This item's design is also very similar to a secondary item for the Soldier from Team Fortress 2, called the "Gunboats". However, this is likely coincidental.
