(entry for the December 2022 Enter the Gungeon GunJam: Sacrifices Must Be Made)

This friendly little guy will help new Gungeoneers out by offering fantastic items at the beginning of their run...for a price

(continue reading for spoilers / mechanics)

...

The Grin Reaper will spawn in the first room of the first floor, offering a random powerful (i.e., S Quality) gun or item in exchange for a random sacrifice. Each sacrifice will significantly handicap the player, as such is the price that must be paid for good items early. Items will be drawn from global loot tables and should include all vanilla and modded S quality items. The currently implemented sacrifices and their effects are as follows:

Sacrifice — Effects

brain — remove most UI information

eyes — lower shot accuracy & enemy visibility

arms — damage, reload speed, & fire rate down

legs — movement speed down

fingers — chance to drop gun upon firing

heart — lose most of your health & armor

lungs — dodge rolls require rest

stomach — no healing from health & armor

Enjoy! :D
