This isn’t often useful, though, since enemies attack from all sides. This will be your saviour when overwhelmed by enemy fire, and is crucial in boss encounters.įinally, you can also kick over tables with the press of a button to provide cover from enemy fire. These are a limited resource that when used negate any and all fire currently on the screen – like a reset button. It’s hard during the heat of the fight to remember this is an option – I opted to strafe around fire most of the time – but it can be incredibly useful in moderately intense shootouts. You have to time it to perfection, though. For starters there’s the dodge, which can be used to jump over bullets.
While you’ll always be outnumbered and outgunned in the Gungeon, you do possess a few tricks up your sleeve to even out the odds.
