Every floor has exactly 2 rooms with chests in them. One of them will have a gun while the other will have either a passive upgrade, or an active item. While brown chests don't have good guns, their items provide decent passive upgrades. So, if your first chest gives you a gun, it might be worth opening up that brown chest, rather than destroying it. EDIT: Also, if you beat the boss before gaining a new gun, the boss is guaranteed to drop one, rather than an upgrade or item. This can be used to stock up some firepower early in the game. The tradeoff is that you have to beat the boss with your base weapons. While we're on bosses, Master Rounds are probably the most important item to any run, because they provide an extra heart container, and can give you some breathing room later in the game. At the very least, you should be trying to consistently beat the floor one boss without taking damage. You'll be fighting them a lot, so you'll have plenty of time to get to know their patterns. Lastly, while dodge rolling is effective, it leaves you vulnerable, since you can't change direction. Most of the bullets being shot at you are slow, so it's more effective to strafe and weave through them, and dodge rolling when that's not possible.

Here's a tip: There's a secret stat called "Magnificence" wherein it denotes the chances of you getting an A-tier or S-tier chest. Once you open an A-tier or S-tier chest, your Magnificence will drop. You can reset your Magnificence stat by saving on the floor you opened an A-/S-tier chest. The next time you continue your game, you chances of encountering top tier chests on that current floor you're on will be reset to a higher rate. It's helped me a lot in many runs & I hope it does the same for you too. Good luck, Gungeoneers.

some tips from someone who has 100%ed the game -beating a characters past a second time will unlock their alternate starting weapon - saving 5 caped bullet kin will unlock the bullet -taking the broken tv from the second floor elevator shaft all the to the forge will unlock the robot - after completing the main four pasts a weird puddle can show up, stepping in the puddle will leave your character pardoxed -beating the game paradoxed will unlock the paradox - reaching the paradox's past will restart your run as the gunslinger -beating the lich as gunslinger will unlock the gunslinger -the paradox stars with a random weapon and passive, and the gunslinger starts with the best passive in the game " Lich Eye Bullets" -the robot gains a passive 5% damage increase for every piece of junk you have in your inventory -locked brown chests have a very small chance to being a rainbow chest in disguise -any type of chest can be "glitched" opening the chest will take you to a glitched boss fight where you can get really good items and skip all the way to fourth floor -bosses have a dps cap that prevents the player from killing bosses too fast, however some guns can bypass the dps cap some examples being the makeshift canon and the yari launcher -flying allows you to cheese the winchester minigame -there is setting in the option menu labelled "beast mode" it does absolutely nothing, beating the game with it active unlocks a weapon -the higher your curse the more likely "jammed enemies" will appear, they have significantly more hp than normal enemies, and their attacks deal an entire heart instead of half -some weapons can turn a jammed enemy into a normal enemy, however i dont think they de-jam bosses -there is a glitch with bullets sword that is extremely useful, when you reload with the sword a guard animation will play out, if at max hp you guard reload and flick your cursor you can deal damage to an entire room, its easy to do on PC, on console its a bit harder but possible -ser junkan gets more powerful the more junk you have, however his final form is actually weaker than his second to last form -if you destroy a high rarity chest there is chance for something called gold junk to appear, pickup it will give you 500 money -gold junk also transform junkan into mecha junkan -if you attempt daisukes challenge, never pick up back-up gun, ive lost more times than i care to admit because of this. -blessing of the gun is pretty easy if you are playing as gunslinger, and even easier if you are playing rainbow mode

5:14 the ledge goblin is actually female according to the wiki and in-game text

There is also a hidden stat called coolness which makes cool down on active items shorter, sunglasses increase it by two passively (obviously) and using cigarettes increase it by one each time you use them

My god this is s tier content

ACTUALLY if you’re low on health you have a higher chance of getting healing items from brown chests

390 Deaths in, and I still haven't beaten a single characters story. H E L P

A few things. Holstered weapons reload themselves after being holstered for twice their reload time. Saved hearts will also appear in the starting room if the floor has a shaft there. The Tinker actually explicitly tells you that he's in the elevator shaft if I remember correctly. The water barrel is (I'm pretty sure) guaranteed to spawn in the fireplace room. Shooting the demon face with water will actually give an A OR S tier item or gun

FYI: Players don't have to shoot every chest to check for mimics. Take the time to notice their movements. Mimics outside of boss rooms will "breathe" (lid slightly opens and closes, locked or not) and mimics in boss rooms will "blink" (two "eyes" will appear on the reward column, slightly below the item). Additionally, locked mimics do not require a key to open/activate. Defeat them to get their loot without using a key. EDIT 1: The red "save" button appears at the top of the entrance to "The Oubliette" once players have previously entered it. EDIT 2: The Oubliette is a toxic dungeon.

A tip I always recommend is to roll into bullets, not away from them. Also never play pilot or convict when starting out. Convict has a bad item with a bad starting and additional gun, and pilot has “good” items that are incredibly situational with (in my opinion) the worst gun in the game. Marine and Hunter are both great though (my fav is hunter, her past is easiest, her guns are good, and dog is funny. She also has the best alt skin for hr model and gun) and when you unlock robot (carry the busted tv in the elevator shaft room on floor 2 to the forge lady) it gets a lot easier (robot is hard, he doesn’t have health, but his gun is rly good and he gets stronger with junk, which is very very good). Above all try to get rainbow runs quickly. The npc is in one of the floor 2 cages and chills in one of the breach rooms. Rainbow runs make the game much easier, and getting far is necessary for unlocking items, which make getting further easier. Gungeon is hard, very hard, it took me probably 30 hours to beat a past. Don’t get too demoralized from dying to wallmonger for the 4th time. The more you fail, the more you learn, and the better you’ll be.

Been playing this game on and off for years, and this is a perfect thing to show my friends just getting into it. Zero fluff, nice.

Thanks, man for the tips. usually, it's hard to find videos for beginners that are both quick and informative. Thankfully this got recommended so I can become a better gamer.

I'm glad that people are still creating content after all this time!

You've probably gotten loads of compliments for the hard work you've put into this video. You deserved all of them. Thank you.

I would honestly say that my biggest tip would be to NOT abbuse your dodge roll, it will feel like you just avoided damage, but in most cases a small sidestep will put you into a better position. The Dodge roll is more of a last resort move (second only to the blank effects). It completely fine if you are not encountering a lot of enemies, but especially in the later floors and oubliette and abbey there are some though rooms were it's important to know when to sidestep and when to dodge roll. Also if you dodge roll you have to completely realign your aim, while in a sidestep you can keep firing and keep your dps up. For some example enemies (you can easily sidestep every attack from bulletkin or shotgunshells, veteran versions take a bit time to get used to but are fine to, but enemies like the gun knights kinda force you to dodge roll, so then you have to decide which direction gives you the best position, same for the cubulons on close range, also all bosses work in patterns so it's a lot safer to dodge roll in these fights, since it's always the same pattern of bullets, therefore you have enough time to reposition between each attack)

EXTREMELY helpful and much appreciated! I just started playing a few days ago, and was looking for a really helpful tips video.. awesome job again and thank you 🙏

Some other things not mentioned in the video: - In addition to the effects mentioned, curse has a few other features: > Different sources can inflict different amounts of curse - for example, the gun you get as a completion bonus gives you 5 levels of curse when you pick it up, though most cursed items and interactions only give 1 level. > When you reach a curse level of 10, it summons an entity known as the Lord of the Jammed, who has the following characteristics: The lord of the jammed has no hitbox. As such you cannot interact with it, but it does not do collision damage if you run through it. The lord of the jammed will chase you relentlessly, even during cutscenes and dialog, and will periodically spew projectiles in a circular pattern (though these projectiles are ironically not jammed). > There is a chance that you will encounter a special room with a fountain in it. If you pay to drink from the fountain, your curse will be removed (all of it). The cost will depend on how much curse you currently have. - In the Abbey of the True Gun, there is a special type of secret room that always spawns. In it, you will find an NPC and a blue chest. Simply talk to the NPC and choose either of the answers given (there is no wrong answer) and he will unlock the chest for you, giving you a free blue item. If your ammonomicon is missing something, try destroying the chest instead. - Furthermore, in the Abbey, the boss will always spawn a synergy chest upon defeat, so make sure to keep a key for that. - While gungeoning about, sometimes chests will leave a note from the resourceful rat, taunting you as he nicked the loot. At the end of each of these notes is a cheese wedge pointing in a cardinal direction. They are randomized per save file per account, but they are saved to your ammonomicon. *Use them* ... I won't go any further on that note. - There is an incredibly rare type of secret room that only occurs sometimes on the second floor. It contains a gun called the "High Dragunfire," and getting it replaces the regular Dragunfire with a powered-up version. If you're on the second floor (Gungeon Proper) and haven't found a secret room, keep looking, and you may get lucky. - Lastly, there is a gun in the ammonomicon that you cannot get from a chest. Instead, it requires a synergy of two guns. You will need the RUBE-ADYNE Prototype and Mk-II to get Rubenstein's Monster. You can sway this by doing rainbow runs and taking the elevator to the forge. When you take the elevator to skip a floor, the Resourceful Rat will (for some reason) offer you a free gun, and one of the ones he can offer at the Forge is the Prototype. If he doesn't offer it, go back, beat the *second* floor boss - this cycles the selection offered - and try again. Once he offers it, keep resetting until the rainbow chest also offers the Mk-II and you're good to go. That's all I've got for now, but I've done everything the game has to offer except obtain the High Dragunfire, so feel free to ask questions.

Extremely helpful video, short and to the point with several tips that i didnt know about

There's also a hidden stat called "coolness" and kinda serves as an opposite to curse. Basically having it will increase the chances of finding loot (curse will decrease the chances still but they act simultaneously), and decrease actives cooldown mostly. The issue is that the items/weapons that give you that are not many and not common, but things like cigarettes, the skateboy gun, sunglasses and that kind of stuff. Would highly recommend everyone to check the wiki for the game as it contains so much "hidden" info

I just started Gungeon and this video is immensely helpful. Thank you so much. Gungeon is so complex and I’m now better prepared. Big Ups!

Know this stuff now but this is definitely the kinda video I needed back when I started, nice to know new players are getting the right help. Keep up the good stuff

Extremely helpful. Thanks for some info I never knew or realized.

Anecdotal from me: certain guns seem to deal more damage to chests. Be careful when shooting them. Particular offenders are Blooper, Flash Ray.

Reloading your weapon does not reload other weapons, your other weapons will reload when they are not being used but the reload time is doubled

Thank you. Havent played in a while, started again on a PC and couldn't remember so many things and to cba to wiki the steps. This helped me good getting the secrets back in my head

Came back to the game today and this video helped me greatly to get back in the groove and find a purpose. Thanks!

This vid randomly appeared on my feed. Never played this game before but looks amazing. Lucky that I saw a comment saying it is currently free on the PS4 store.

So thaaaats how saving health works You have no idea how long I went without knowing this

I've been playing for some time and I'm glad i found this! Thanks!

i've played this game for such a long time and i didn't even knew how "save it for later" works, thanks

(Very experienced player) there is no time limit, take your time and focus on your character rather than the enemies, if you press the fire button(on console or pc) it will automatically fire at enemies without missing

rainbow runs are so incredibly useful, their progress carries over to normal progress and you can normally end a run with better loot from them :-)

Personally I think if it’s first floor, you ALWAYS open brown chests, you get a decent ish gun and a pickup, hearts and keys are surprisingly common so you basically either get a gun and some health for later (or if you got hit then you use it) or you get a free gun.

Great video, presented in an exquisite manner, you deserve more recognition.

I open brown chests over blue because they have a higher chance of dropping a extra key. It also has some guns that if you have the right synergy they can be amazing. It also has a surprising amount of good passives. Also each floor has a item chest and a gun chest.

You also dont have to use the grappling hook to steal items. Using your active item or even a blank and then interacting with the item will steal it. The first item you steal has a high chance of being stolen, and the chance lowers for each item stolen after that, regardless of whether its a fresh run or not

this was great! thanks for the help!

Thank you! I don’t know why this game is so hard to find online help for. I get really paranoid that I’m gonna miss stuff while playing and this helped me quite a bit

btw a dodge roll still has the same amount of invonurablitiy always. so rolling into a wall to dodge bulltets is a good strategy sometimes.

tip for the abbey the boss of the abbey literally has more hp than the boss of the 5th chamber, don’t go in the abbey if you’re unprepared for that since he’ll end your run pretty early

This is pure gold. Thanks a bunch

Great video, very helpful!

It’s Ser junkan, not sir junkington. Also reloading one gun doesn’t reload the others, unequipped guns reload automatically after double its regular reload time. The save button also appears at the entrances to the oubliette, the abbey (assuming you’ve been to the oubliette and came out with the old crest), and resourceful rat’s lair WITHOUT needing to kill the boss of the floor. The ledge goblin is a girl. In addition to the shortcuts giving you 1-3 free guns upon use (quality and amount you keep depend on which floor you go to) unlocking all four shortcuts will also unlock boss rush, accessible from the same room in the breach as the shortcuts. And one last tip, after killing the high dragun at least once there’ll be an arm next to the blacksmith, investigate it to start a quest where you track down the arm and a balloon to carry it back up to the breach over the course of multiple runs, once complete you will unlock the most broken item in the game, clone.

YOU'RE TELLING ME THAT THE GREEN CHEST IS BETTER THAN THE BLUE ONE ? unbelieveble, i played the game wrong this whole time and i didn't finish the video yet

Great video, helped me a lot!

This was legit so helpful thank you

Man this was really helpful, i just got the game free on ps4 and I've been addicted to it since then thank a lot

Another one that I found useful is that Chest rooms are somewhat easy to locate and you should always keep at least one key for the random chance of an exploding chest

Thanks for the good advices ⚡️

AMAZING tips! Thanks so much

One big tip is that any gun or item that makes you invisible or is the grappling hook can allow you to steal from any shop. It increases your curse by one level but allows you to get any item for free (including the rat key) The best use for this is to steal from the cursed item shopkeep, as buying from her increases curse by 2, so if you steal you are saving money and curse. One thing to know if that you can only steal from a shopkeeper once, and after that there is a 50/50 chance you steal or they see you and close shop. (But if you see the same shopkeeper on a new floor, you can get a "free" steal again, though it doesn't work For the main shopkeeper bellow)

These tips were very helpful, thanks.

Thanks for the tips. I knew most of it after years of playing but hopefully it helps for my first successful run.

BRO THIS IS THE MOST HELPFULL GUIDE EVER I have been looking for one of these I will like and share with my best friend and this will help us a lot we ty.

Great vid, im gonna make sure to use these tips on my next run

Mimics have an idle breathing animation when not first attacked so you can wait a second Everytime you find a chest just in case

Much thanks. Very helpful.

EXTREMELY HELPFUL! Thank you!

Going to jump into Enter The Gungeon for a week before the final Binding of Isaac DLC releases. Great video, thank you.

Thanks for the tips dude I was really wondering what the altar thingy was all about

This is one hell of an edit, good video!

Very helpful many thanks!

Damn, I have over 100 hours on this game and I didn't know that blanks reset after each floor nor do I know how the heart dispenser appears.

Fellas, if ya girl: is overpowered, ruins everyone’s day , beats big bios with ease, that’s not ya girl, that’s makeshift cannon ductaped with the exotic

This is like ONLY things I didn't know. Very solid vid

This is gold - thank you ❤

Years later and I still can’t beat the third floor lol

I knew all of these but it defintly would be very useful if not

Very helpful, much appreciated

This made my day! Thx

Después de tantos años, diste unos consejos detallados de un juego viejo aún jugado, ¿realizarás uno de 'The Binding Of Isaac'?

I'm a new player and didn't know much of this stuff, next time i play i'll remember this, but i wanted to ask which character you think is the best(out of the first 4), i normally use the marine because of his accuracy, ammo capacity and the fact he starts with one armor

This is really helpful! Thanks so much for sharing! :D

This was helpful, thanks!

Got this game for free thanks for the tips!

2:03 When you first meet him he says "Meet me in the elevator shaft on chamber 2"

This was extremely helpful thank you

Now this is a channel I can get behind. Subscribed, so keep the content coming!

Thanks for the vid! Now I don't need to read Reddit for 3 hours.

I'll offer a few tips for tactics, since I never see them covered in any discussion of tips in Enter The Gungeon OR Bullet Hell games in general: 1. Distance. The best distance to be at is far enough away that you can see them close to the edge of your camera. Usually this is outside your effective accuracy range. This is good. You can easily choose to walk a little closer to get a more accurate shot, whereas most creeps have long cooldowns on their attack patterns. Distance allows you more time to react to an enemy's attack, gives you more time to react to something you hadn't seen or didn't know was there, and, most importantly of all, it gives you more options to step into a safer position. 2. Cover. Use cover. I don't mean tables, they're usually useless unless you have no other cover or, like, 4 or 5 table techs accumulated, but walls and doorways are absolutely fantastic cover. With some creeps, you can just hide behind cover while they throw their massive burst of bullets at you and then step out and unload a clip before they can wind up another attack. 3. Learn Attack Patterns. Building off these first two, learn the movement patterns for certain enemies that allow you to reliably avoid damage every single time. For example, the big swordsman creep who swings his sword and a wave of bullets come at you? You can just run circles (literally) around this guy, and he will NEVER be able to hit you with the bullets. Not all enemies have reliable strategies like this, and they must be dealt with by the next tactic, but this works reliably on a surprisingly high percentage of enemies. 4. Prioritize. If you've ever played an RPG before, especially turn-based, you'll know that killing the enemy with the lowest HP first is quickest, and it allows you more freedom to deal with the remaining enemy. In Gungeon, that's not always the best strategy. Rubber bullets (those things that jump at you and push you around) are surprisingly important to kill quickly, because even though they don't damage you, they almost ALWAYS push you into damage. Knowing who to kill first can give you far more options to dodge (if you kill the Iron Maiden enemy first, you don't have to dodge homing spikes AND whatever attacks other creeps are throwing at you, too, and it gives you more space to dodge into.) 5. Expect enemies. This sounds obvious, but the amount of times I've been running down a direction that I can't see clearly and I've been hit by a basic ass bullet from some level 1 creep because I didn't expect it coming has lost me far too many games. If you're running in a certain direction to clear a room (looking for the last enemy) expect him to be hiding around the corner and to jump out and shoot you the second you get close enough. 6. You can avoid damage from every explosion in the game (that doesn't hit you directly like a rocket) this includes grenades, dynamite, Gatling Gull, barrels, the whole shebang by letting the explosion hit you while you're in the middle of a dodge. You can literally dodge INTO an explosion and not be hurt if you're in the air when the explosion goes off. It's a homage to action films where jumping away from an explosion protects characters even though extras further away were killed.

One of the best hey did you know videos I've watched

Very useful, thank you

Pro tip: the closer you are to death, the harder it is to die. Coming from a 100% player, the closer to death you are, the higher chance of the game giving you hearts. this is why the robot seems to get way more heart drops than anyone else, since it technically has 0 HP at all times. This also prevents the robot from being able to shoot blasphemy beams, making the weapon nearly useless for him.

5:00 YOU GET TO DRINK FROM THE FIREHOSE! god I love UHF

All very Solid tips!

Being completely new to this game and knowing absolutely nothing about it, this definetly helped me a ton! Definetly earned your like 👍

Thank you this genuinely helped me keep doing what your doing🙂

straight to the point, well made

I found this helpful thanks for the tips

400 deaths and 100 hours in and still no past beaten... I'm not losing hope though, this game is fun as heck and all the secrets are SO fun to discover. Thank you for the tips, there's several which I didn't know of before

great video also amazing editing

Thanks for the video, very helpful.

This really helped me a ton, thanks my man!

Just unlocked finished gun! :) Came back to this vid cuz it helped me alot at the start.

Loved the video :D

having played a good bit and doing research, this info is definitely good stuff, definitely better that its all in one place versus scouring wikis and reddit posts for answers :p

Thanks! Just bought the game when its on sale, definitely gonna use these tips on my runs

Thanks for the tips man deffs gonna subscribe
