Right-Click Properties

I've noticed that the bouncing pumpkin from the right-click function of this weapon is actually subtly affected by what ammo you use. ̶T̶h̶e̶ ̶m̶o̶s̶t̶ ̶n̶o̶t̶i̶c̶e̶a̶b̶l̶e̶ ̶o̶n̶e̶ ̶(̶t̶h̶o̶u̶g̶h̶ ̶n̶o̶t̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶f̶i̶r̶s̶t̶ ̶o̶n̶e̶ ̶I̶ ̶f̶o̶u̶n̶d̶)̶ ̶a̶r̶e̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶p̶a̶r̶t̶y̶ ̶b̶u̶l̶l̶e̶t̶s̶.̶ ̶W̶h̶e̶n̶ ̶u̶s̶e̶d̶,̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶p̶u̶m̶p̶k̶i̶n̶s̶ ̶l̶e̶a̶v̶e̶ ̶a̶ ̶s̶m̶a̶l̶l̶ ̶t̶r̶a̶i̶l̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶c̶o̶n̶f̶e̶t̶t̶i̶ ̶b̶e̶h̶i̶n̶d̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶m̶ ̶a̶s̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶y̶ ̶b̶o̶u̶n̶c̶e̶.̶ ̶W̶h̶i̶l̶e̶ ̶t̶h̶a̶t̶ ̶m̶a̶y̶ ̶s̶e̶e̶m̶ ̶l̶i̶k̶e̶ ̶i̶n̶s̶i̶g̶n̶i̶f̶i̶c̶a̶n̶t̶ ̶t̶r̶i̶v̶i̶a̶,̶ this also applies to other bullet types as well. Using acceleration rounds makes them speed up slightly as they go (it's not very obvious due to the short lifespan of the pumpkin, but the acceleration is there.) And, The superball ammo seems to make it bounce a bit faster and higher after each time.

Of course I've only had enough time to test a few bullet types, my tests were all made during a playthrough, so they're not properly tested for how much the ammo affects them, and these changes aren't nearly as dramatic as the normal left-click, but I do think this should be noted somewhere. The only problem is I'm not sure how one should go about adding it. Should it just be added to what's already there in the description? Or should a notes section be added? I'm not sure.

Edit: feel like a bit of an idiot. The confetti trail was due to a party flask I must have accidentally used before testing... My bad. Nonetheless the effects of the ammo still affect the pumpkin, perhaps not in quite as many ways as I thought. Mrqsandas (talk) 23:00, 29 October 2021 (UTC)
