Watch Your Back
Fires backward.

Another incredible use of tape in the Gungeon, this backward-facing gun has been charmed to fire in solidarity with any equipped gun.

Backup Gun is a passive item.

Effects

  • Guns simultaneously shoot forwards and backwards. The backwards firing shots will be significantly less accurate.

Notes

  • With Backup Gun, Dark Marker's charged shot's accuracy is decreased, which can cause it to fail as the two projectiles have a chance to miss each other.
  • Negates the recoil of the Mutation and the Grasschopper.
  • Synergizes extremely well with weapons that can bounce shots on walls or release homing projectiles such as The Scrambler, the Bee Hive or the Moonscraper.
  • For some reason, Backup Gun seems to cause the forward shot of the Winchester gun to be inaccurate. It's recommended to drop the item in the room before speaking to Winchester to start the game, as once you have paid him, you cannot drop items until the game is finished.

Trivia

This item is a reference to the movie Die Hard, where the protagonist John McClane tapes his Beretta 92F pistol to his back.
