Helix Bullets

[Helix] Bullets is a passive item and a bullet upgrade .

• Doubles the player's bullets and causes them to travel in a helix pattern. Each bullet deals 66% of its original damage, for a net 32% increase in damage.

• Explosion damage will not be affected by damage modifiers, including damage reduction. As such, [Helix] Bullets will massively buff explosive weapons.

• This item has a negative effect with guns that fire homing projectiles such as [Bullet Bore] or [Com4nd0] , causing them to lose homing. If the player also has [Shadow Bullets] , the shadow projectiles will retain homing.

• This item does not affect shots fired from other guns with [Chance Bullets] .

• When used by a gun that fires several different kinds of shots at random, such as [Mr. Accretion Jr.] or [Tetrominator] , each bullet of the helix will be randomly selected. An notable exception to this is the [Dark Marker] with the Antichamber synergy, whose shots are guaranteed to be one red and one blue. This makes triggering the blank effect extremely easy.

• If bullets are reflected by [Casey] with this item, the bullets will fly in a helix pattern but will not double.

• When using [Remote Bullets] , the helical bullet path will remain even as bullets curve towards the cursor.

• This item applies to bullets fired via passive items such as the [Orange Guon Stone] .

• This item makes [Winchester] 's game nearly impossible to win, as the helix modifier makes it so the shots don't go in a straight line. The item cannot be dropped after paying [Winchester] , so make sure to drop it ahead of time.

• The item also affects projectiles of some familiars.

• With [Scattershot] , if [Scattershot] is picked up before [Helix] Bullets, four times the normal amount of projectiles are fired. However, if [Helix] Bullets is picked up first, six times the amount of projectiles are fired. Regardless of the amount of bullets fired with [Scattershot] and [Helix] Bullets, each bullet does 36% of its original damage.

• If the player has [Flak Bullets] , the smaller bullets will not travel in a helix pattern.

• [Helix] Bullets only partially affect the final projectile of [Zorgun] , causing it to move in a helix pattern but not duplicate.

• When used by a gun with nonzero spread, each shot's deviation will be mirrored between the two bullets.

• Bullets will no longer be affected by the gravitational pull of the [Black Hole Gun] , nor the [Singularity] .

• If the player has [Hip Holster] , the projectile upon reload will move in a helix pattern, but not duplicate.

• This item causes shots fired by [High Kaliber] to appear in front of the player when they hit their target.

• When paired with the boost from [Macho Brace] , occasionally only one of the [Helix] Bullet's projectiles will be fired, resulting in a loss in damage. It is unkown what causes this bug.

• This item's appearance is a reference to the original Pokémon games , offered to the player as one fossil, "the [Helix] Fossil", among a choice of two. The other, "the Dome Fossil", does not appear to be referenced in game. The pickup text is a reference to the cult-like following the item acquired during a collaborative stream of these games, called " Twitch Plays Pokémon ," where viewers/collaborators would often quote " praise helix " as the player, who was controlled by Twitch chat, would often unsuccessfully attempt to “use” the [Helix] Fossil.

• The [Barrel] synergy is a reference to the Dr. Seuss children's book, One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish .
