| Shoots sharks. Really.
This gun, a Calx original, fires homing sharks. This would never function under normal circumstances, but the Gungeon respects the pure audacity of its existence. | |
Compressed Air Tank is a gun that fires sharks that swim around the room, seeking enemies and biting them, dealing a large amount of damage. Water is created wherever the sharks have been.
Notes
Smile, you son of a... - If the player has M1, Compressed Air Tank's sharks will explode upon biting an enemy. These explosions will hurt the player.- The Elephant In The Room - If the player has Elephant Gun, Elephant Gun becomes an elephant head and shoots pink elephants instead of bullets.
- Despite the shot being chargeable, the shark will fire even if the trigger is tapped.
- The shark fins will deal contact damage, like other wandering bullets.
- Battery Bullets can be extremely effective with this gun, as the water its projectiles leave behind will be electrocuted.
- If a Bloodbulon is hit with the shark, it will not die immediately, and upon dying, it will not release bullets.
- If used with Backup Gun, two sharks will be fired at once, and will independently home in on targets.
- The sharks will not cross pits, unless battling a boss that includes a pit in their arena, such as Gatling Gull, Fuselier, Agunim, or the High Dragun.
- Works especially well with Snowballets, since the sharks' tendency to wander feeds into the effect of the Snowballets.
Trivia
- This weapon and its unique ability are a reference to the 1975 movie Jaws. It also makes a brief sound resembling the Jaws theme whenever it fires. It could also be a reference to the Sharknado movie series because of the reference to "pure audacity of its existence".
- This weapon behaviour is similar to the Land Shark Gun from the game Armed and Dangerous.
- This weapon appears in the prequel comic.
- The "Smile you son of a..." synergy is a reference to Martin Brody's final line in Jaws before killing the shark. Brody wields a M1 and shoots an air tank in its mouth.
