Keywords

Keywords are modifiers that affect the properties of weapons. All weapons the player finds in the game will have at least two keywords attached to them, with a maximum of four.

Some keywords are universal to all weapons, but the majority are either shared between some or unique to certain weapons.

Universal Keywords
The following keywords are accessible by all weapons. Aside from "Freeze", all universal keywords must be purchased from Kleines. Infested is unlocked upon purchasing the Swarmer Pack.

All purging, anti-racial keywords not only eliminate on-death effects, but also reduce bullet sizes, make some bullets destructible, or have other helpful effects in many patterns from enemies of the affected race. These effects can be seen in normal enemies, mini-bosses, and bosses alike.

Non-Universal Keywords
The following keywords are accessible only by the weapons listed in their row. This does not include Unique weapons, which may have keywords outside of their weapon's normal domain.

Unique Keywords
Some keywords only appear on unique weapons.

Curses
Cursed Weapons contain one of seven cursed keywords. These keywords attach a negative effect to the weapon until the curse is broken. Any weapon carrying a curse will grant 2 HP and 5% damage upon picking it up. Submerging oneself in a blessing fountain while a cursed weapon is possessed will remove the curse.
