ItвЂ™s an item that requires you to think, and for the usefulness you can get from this watch, it gets 7th place.ДЄ late-game item you can get from Ox and Cadence for 200 Hegemony Credit, platinum bullets are easily one of the best bullet upgrades in the game. You can also lay traps, putting mines where you think enemies will go or shoot where you think theyвЂ™ll hide. Or if youвЂ™re really lucky, let the AI run into them. The best course of action would be continuous stopping and starting, ducking behind walls as time restarts while your enemies are too slow to dodge your bullets. One of the main problems you may run into with this item is that your actions will likewise be slowed down. While dodging and moving restart time like normal, there is a lot of use you can get out of this if you play it correctly.

This item has one sole ability: time slows down to 1/60th while you are standing still, similar to the game this item is based on. Unlockable after getting 5 Master Rounds in one run (defeating each floor boss without taking damage), the Super Hot Watch is, like most overpowered items, powerful with a caveat. ItвЂ™s less useful than the former abilities but still welcome nonetheless. To specify, the difference between blocking enemy bullets and using a blank is the former negates one bullet at a time, while the latter negates all bullets in a radius around you. The third feature of the Owl is it occasionally blocks enemy bullets. While it doesnвЂ™t deal much damage, itвЂ™s nice to have an extra boost to make you even more deadly than before. Something else the owl occasionally does is shoot random enemies.

While itвЂ™s not an often occurrence, itвЂ™s a welcome one as blanks are a limited resource, and with the owl it allows you to spare them for absolutely necessary times. Like the Partially-Eaten Cheese, this passive item has 3 main features that make it useful to have.ДЄrguably the best feature to the Owl is that it fires short-range blanks, but only вЂњoccasionallyвЂќ while bullets are near you. You can also shoot in this mode too, which makes it even more of a powerful find.ДЇor being an overpowered find thatвЂ™s only useful for a selective 10 seconds, it gets the 9th spot.ДЄvailable after winning 10 of the Gunsling KingвЂ™s wagers, the Owl is easily the best companion to have in the game. For ten seconds you are essentially PacMan in his prime, killing enemies and sending them back to where they came. The third, and best feature, is instant-death to any enemies you come in contact with, with the exception of bosses. There isnвЂ™t too much practical use to this unless you want to get some of the tougher-to-get enemies, but itвЂ™s still very useful. The second is flight, allowing you to pass over pitfalls and over tables with ease. Bullets bounce off of you like the cheese you are, which is particularly good against tougher enemies. Only available in the Resourceful RatвЂ™s Lair in the Black Powder Mines, this item has 3 main features that make it a powerful find first and foremost being invincibility. Nevertheless, when you can turn into PacMan for 10 seconds in this game, it deserves at least a spot on the list. One would think an active item that turns you invisible would be higher on a list of best items. For these reasons, Shock Rounds makes the list at number 10. According to the Gungeon wiki, Shock Rounds are especially powerful with Bouncing Bullets, so your chain lightning can bounce around the room ad infinitum. Of the aforementioned synergies, most are only relevant if you play the game for a while and unlock guns from shops and missions, but there are some that are quicker to find such as Battery Powered, which creates ammo for the Shock Rifle if you have Shock Rounds.ДЄnother factor in choosing your items for this game is whether they would be powerful regardless of synergy. As long as youвЂ™re able to dodge your way around your enemies, you have guaranteed damage against everyone without having to aim your gun. The first and foremost reason comes from the above picture, showing the insanity you can create with a high-magazine and high-fire-rate gun. With 8 synergies, there is a lot to unpack with Shock Rounds and what makes them great. Causing chain lightning to connect all of your bullets from all of your guns, this passive item has the potential to cheese your way through almost all enemies.

Simple yet effective, shock bullets are easy to come by and easy to kill with. With a selection of items to match its stock of guns, there is a wide variety of items in Enter the Gungeon that range from bullet upgrades to health upgrades, and everything in between.
