Technology 2

Effects

• Replaces the character's right eye tears with an unlimited range piercing laser which fires continuously, dealing damage 15 times per second.
• (Removed in Repentance) x0.65 Damage multiplier.
• (Removed in Repentance) The laser deals 20% of Isaac's damage per tick.
  • This compounds with the damage down for a total of 13% of Isaac's damage per tick.
• (Added in Repentance) Only the laser deals 13% of Isaac's damage per tick.
• (Added in Repentance) Tears fired per second * (2/3).
• (Added in Repentance) Laser is able to knock back enemies.

Notes

• Tear delay is effectively doubled, as Isaac will do a bit of the animation to fire a right eye tear, but no tear will come out.
  • (Added in Repentance) This applies to items that replace Isaac's tears, such as Mom's Knife and Brimstone.
• Charged shots are not affected by the effective tear delay down, as they don't use the alternative left eye/right eye fire scheme.
• (Removed in Repentance) As (Cain) Cain can only fire tears from his right eye, Technology 2 will replace his tears altogether unless he has Technology or a charged attack.
  • (Added in Repentance) When used by Cain, or a character that is forced to fire from one eye due to the effects of Stapler or Lead Pencil, they will fire Technology lasers out of their right eye instead of their normal tears, as long as they have no other items that replace their tears. These lasers cannot be angled with momentum.
• Because (Lilith) Lilith is blindfolded and relies on her (Added in Afterbirth) Incubus, the only effect gained from Technology 2 is the (Removed in Repentance) damage down (Added in Repentance) tears down.
  • Unlike regular Lilith, (Tainted Lilith) Tainted Lilith gains the standard laser from her head as well as the tears from the demonic baby.
• The laser can apply status effects very efficiently due to its high tick rate.

Synergies

• (Added in Afterbirth) 8 Inch Nails / (Added in Afterbirth)(Blister) Blister / Pisces: The laser will consistently push back enemies.
• Blood Clot / Chemical Peel: Since Isaac's right eye is replaced by Technology 2, he can only fire tears from his left eye, which gives all his tears higher damage and range.
• Chocolate Milk: The laser fires while Chocolate Milk charges at normal rate.
• (Added in Repentance) Cricket's Body / The Parasite: The laser will rapidly split into small low damage tears upon impact with an enemy or obstacle.
• Cursed Eye: The laser fires while Cursed Eye charges at normal rate, retaining the teleporting effect.
  • (Added in Repentance) Tears are replaced with lasers, fired from the same eye of Tech 2.
• Epic Fetus: The laser fires while the missiles are being aimed.
• (Added in Afterbirth) Explosivo A chance of attaching explosive tears to enemies when they laser touches them.
• Fire Mind: Laser will set enemies on fire but will not explode.
• Ipecac: Laser damage increases dramatically while also gaining the poison effect.
• (Added in Repentance) Lachryphagy: The laser has it's range shortened, but rapidly creates and feeds Lachryphagy tears.
• Lost Contact: The laser destroys all hostile projectiles that come into contact with it.
• The Ludovico Technique: Isaac simultaneously controls a tear and fires the laser; however, Isaac will only fire the Technology 2 laser in the direction that the tear is currently facing.
• (Added in Afterbirth) A Lump of Coal: Damage increases the further away the enemy is, on a multiplier that is roughly +20% per tile of distance.
• (Added in Afterbirth) Marked: Isaac simultaneously controls a big red target on the ground and fires the laser in the cardinal directions.
  • (Added in Repentance) The laser now continuously fires towards the crosshair along with tears.
• Mom's Knife: The laser fires while the Knife charges at normal rate.
• Monstro's Lung: The laser fires while Monstro's Lung charges at normal rate. No reduction in tear burst size.
• (Added in Afterbirth) Rubber Cement: Laser bounces off of walls.
• (Removed in Repentance) Technology: Equips two lasers that can be fired at the same time. As Technology is always fired from the right eye, it is not affected by the halved normal attack rate.
  • (Added in Repentance) Technology is affected by the fire rate multiplier. Holding Stapler, Lead Pencil or playing as (Cain) Cain will allow Isaac to angle shots with momentum again.
• Tiny Planet: The laser spirals around Isaac once and then goes straight again.
• (Added in Afterbirth) The Wiz: Tears are fired diagonally while the laser is fired straight forward.

Interactions

• (Azazel) Azazel: The Technology 2 laser continuously fires as Azazel charges his Brimstone. (Removed in Repentance) Damage is still reduced.
• (Removed in Afterbirth) Brimstone: Overrides Technology 2, but retains the reduced damage.
  • (Added in Afterbirth) Laser fires continuously while Brimstone charges at normal rate.
• (Added in Afterbirth) Incubus: Decreases damage of Incubus' tears; Incubus does not fire a continuous laser.
• (Removed in Repentance) Lead Pencil: Isaac loses the ability to fire tears from the remaining eye, identical to Cain's downside.
  • (Added in Repentance) Replaces tears with lasers similar to Technology. These are shot from the eye that shoots Technology 2, doing damage alongside the Technology 2 beam.
• (Added in Afterbirth / Removed in Repentance) My Reflection: Laser is bent in the opposite direction as Isaac moves sideways, then gradually becomes straight as he stands still.
  • (Added in Repentance) The laser makes a thin loop in front of Isaac, and fires the normal laser backwards.
• (Added in Repentance) Pop!: The laser has drastically reduced range, and eyeball tears are rapidly created at the end of the laser.
• (Removed in Repentance) Soy Milk: Both damage reductions are applied, along with removing one eye's worth of tears.
• Technology 2: Multiple copies of the item provide no benefit.
