CrashGordon94: Adding the new Levels

__NOTOC__
Levels are the heart of DRL, and without them there would be no game. It is where the player explores, where enemies roam, where special items lie in wait. They are filled with either fortune or your own personal demise.

==Basic Objects==
All levels are made of basic objects like floors, walls, and doors.
*'''HP''': This is one of the parameters that governs how difficult the object is to destroy. Whenever an object takes damage, its HP is decreased. Once its HP falls to 0, it changes to a floor tile. Some objects cannot be destroyed; these are indicated as "none". Also, some objects have two versions: one that can be destroyed and one that can't.
*'''Armor''': This also makes objects harder to destroy. Whenever an object takes damage, the object's armor is subtracted from the damage before the damage is subtracted from HP. Unlike the armor of the player and enemies, objects' armor can reduce damage to 0.
*'''Fragile''': Objects can usually only be damaged by [[Damage type#plasma|plasma]], [[Damage type#fire|fire]], or [[Damage type#acid|acid]] damage. Fragile objects can be damaged by any damage type.

==Random levels==
The archetypical level in DRL is a randomly-generated one. It is produced in such a way that no two games are particularly alike. There are many special considerations within the game engine, although many of these are technical and unimportant from a gameplay perspective.

* [[Level type]]
* [[Level feeling]]
* [[Level event]]
* [[Monster Generation]]
* [[Item Generation]]
* [[Room Generation]]
* [[Fluids]]

== Special levels ==
In stark contrast to random levels, special levels are constant and many of them appear every game. A few are static levels you must always go through on their designated floors (with the exception of certain challenges disabling them), while the rest are optional levels you may enter inbetween floors if you find the stairs to them (the entry to which are highlighted by red stairs). Each special level tends to have a gimmick to it, and completing them without the right equipment and plan can be very difficult, especially so on harder difficulties, but they offer great rewards that you will have a hard time procuring normally (or even be unable to obtain at all otherwise), as well as substantial EXP to level you up to a greater degree.

For obvious reasons, all of these pages are considered spoilers if you wish to learn how to beat them yourself. Some are particularly spoiler-heavy, though, and are indicated as such here.

* [[Phobos Base Entry]]
* [[Hell's Arena]]
* [[Toxin Refinery]]
* [[Central Processing]]
* [[The Chained Court]]
* [[Military Base]]
* [[Phobos Lab]]
* [[Phobos Anomaly]]
* [[Hell's Armory]]
* [[Deimos Lab]]
* [[The Wall]]
* [[Containment Area]]
* [[Abyssal Plains]]
* [[City of Skulls]]
* [[Halls of Carnage]]
* [[Spider's Lair]]
* [[Tower of Babel]]
* [[The Vaults]]
* [[House of Pain]]
* [[Unholy Cathedral]] (Spoilers!)
* [[The Mortuary]] (Spoilers!)
* [[Limbo]] (Spoilers!)
* [[The Lava Pits]]
* [[Mt. Erebus]]
* [[Dis]] (Spoilers!)
* [[Hell Fortress]] (MAJOR SPOILERS!)

===Special level placement===
Some levels don't spawn on I'm Too Young To Die: Hell's Armory/Deimos Lab, The Vaults/House of Pain, Unholy Cathedral, and The Mortuary/Limbo.

Special stairs are always placed on a random empty tile.

Special level pairs are chosen randomly - exactly one from each pair appears per game.

Strategy:Son of a Gun

2026-03-17T17:15:15Z

CrashGordon94: Chiming in with observations on the 0.10.7 update

{{infostrat switch}}

(0.9.9.7) Son of a Gun turns pistols from being a crappy starter gun into a real force to be reckoned with, and while on paper it may seem like Son of a Gun offers the same amount of bonus for every level, the bonuses actually become more significant the more of them you have. The final two levels in particular are a bigger deal than all the others combined, because they more than double the DPS of each pistol. Another particular milestone is getting Son of a Gun 3 right after Dualgunner, which ''triples'' your DPS compared to two levels ago.

*'''No traits''': 5DPS
*'''[[Son of a Gun|SoG]](x1)''': 7.5 DPS
*'''[[Son of a Gun|SoG]](x1)+T''': 9.375 DPS
*'''[[Son of a Gun|SoG]](x2)''': 11.67 DPS
*'''[[Son of a Gun|SoG]](x2)+T''': 14.58 DPS
*'''[[Son of a Gun|SoG]](x2)+[[Dualgunner|DG]]''': 19.44 DPS
*'''[[Son of a Gun|SoG]](x3)''': 20 DPS
*'''[[Son of a Gun|SoG]](x3)+T''': 25 DPS
*'''[[Son of a Gun|SoG]](x3)+[[Dualgunner|DG]]''': 33.33 DPS
*'''[[Son of a Gun|SoG]](x3)+T+[[Sharpshooter|MSs]]''': 34.375 DPS
*'''[[Son of a Gun|SoG]](x4)''': 45 DPS
*'''[[Son of a Gun|SoG]](x4)+[[Dualgunner|DG]]''': 75 DPS
*'''[[Son of a Gun|SoG]](x4)+[[Sharpshooter|MSs]]''': 60 DPS
*'''[[Son of a Gun|SoG]](x5)''': 100 DPS
*'''[[Son of a Gun|SoG]](x5)+[[Dualgunner|DG]]''': 166 DPS
*'''[[Son of a Gun|SoG]](x5)+[[Sharpshooter|MSs]]''': 130 DPS

Even with no accuracy investment, pistols can hit enemies at the edges of your vision radius 74% of the time, as opposed to 50% of the time for a [[Chaingun]], and you can additionally aim your shots for even more reliability. With one level of Son of a Gun, the pistol immediately becomes a bit better than a basic Chaingun with no trait investment. Chainguns do become better faster with levels of Eagle Eye, however, but if you're a Marine going for Ammochain, you're blocked from taking Eagle Eye.

Where Pistols inarguably pull ahead, however, is the first level of [[Strategy:Dualgunner|Dualgunner]], the advanced trait that Son of a Gun leads to, and in most builds they are inseparable. Not always, however, as [[Sharpshooter]]s are blocked from taking [[Dualgunner]]. At this level, however, Dualgunner gains the ability to fire two aimed shots in a single attack, which reliably kills basic formers and semi-reliably kills imps. With Son of a Gun 3, it always kills basic formers and reliably kills imps. ''(See [[Strategy:Dualgunner]] for details)''

The downside to all this is that pistols in general need Son of a Gun to be usable main-line weapons, and the downside to using pistols as your main-line weapon is that Son of a Gun doesn't do anything for any other type of gun, and doesn't lead to anything that other builds could use. The choice to take the Pistol all the way is an all-in strategy, so for that kind of long-term investment, it needs to be worth it.

Another thing keen-eyed readers may have noticed is that these calculations are all for the basic [[pistol]]. That's because the vast majority of the time, you will find nothing better, so if you want to win the game, you have to be capable of doing so with just basic pistols. Unfortunately, there are no other pistols aside from the [[Pistol_Types#Special|exotic and unique]] pistols, so being able to upgrade at all is a roll of the dice. More than any other weapon, pistols rely on mods to grow stronger, which also means they need [[Whizkid]], which is a problem, because unless you're a [[Technician]], Whizkid requires two levels of [[Finesse]], a trait which becomes useless to a pistol build at level 13, the level you can take Son of a Gun 5. Technicians also can't use Dualgunner unless they're doing a no-mastery build, too, since [[Sharpshooter]] and [[Scavenger]] both block it!

Pistols benefit highly from being able to plan their approach and picking their battles, so [[intuition]] and [[hellrunner]] are a huge boon. [[Eagle Eye]] 2 gets pistols to the accuracy cap, so [[Intuition]] is a useful next step, and [[Hellrunner]] lets you run away from Demons without expending tactics, as well as buy you into the [[Dodging]] mechanic, which lets you reposition at will as long as you aren't surrounded.

Unfortunately, [[Bullet Dance]] is blocked from taking ''all of the above,'' and for this reason, it's by far the weakest of the pistol masteries. Its damage potential may be extreme, but that doesn't matter if you die before you get there, and you're forced to play such a glass cannon that you're likely to die after you get there too.

Unfortunately, two of the three pistol masteries have extreme difficulty reaching their Mastery. The saddest thing about pistols is that while they can do a ''lot'' of damage, they also lean heavily on their sub-weapons and their off-build survivability options until that damage comes online in the late-game, so they are unlikely to ever reach full potential because of all the roadblocks in their way. Many times, pistol masteries often either require that you take traits that don't work with each other, or block the ones that do, or both. [[Gun Kata]] is the one notable exception, since it ''requires'' [[Dodgemaster]] and auto-reloads on every kill, removing all of the pistol's weaknesses and gives it incredible survivability and sustained DPS. For these reasons, it is by far the strongest one, and the most likely to reach level 7 as well. The fact that Scouts can take [[Intuition]] for free isn't bad, either!

While [[Sharpshooter]] isn't blocked from taking traits that enhance its survivability, it takes by far the longest to reach its full potential since it blocks [[Dualgunner]] ''and'' requires [[Eagle Eye]] 3, which is literally useless for pistols unless you make a [[Storm bolter pistol]] or happen to find the [[Grammaton Cleric Beretta]] early enough for it to make a difference. It doesn't even have better DPS than SoG3 Dualgunner for all it throws in your way to get it!

Sharpshooter would probably be far better if it only required Eagle Eye 1 and Level 6, since this would allow it to grab off-build options like [[Hellrunner]] or [[Whizkid]] without delaying its capstone, but even with its long wait time, it does have ''many'' upsides even before you get it. As a Technician, you start the game with a T-mod, which means you fire much faster right from the start of Entryway. You have free access to Whizkid, so if you find any P-mods, you can take that and give them to your pistol, which helps narrow the DPS gap with [[Dualgunner]] considerably. Then, once you get your mastery, if you have a Power mod on your pistol (or an [[Energy pistol]], Sharpshooter deals 100% reliable [[knockback]], which gives it an easy way to push enemies out of LoS or into lava, all while shooting at mind-boggling speeds even compared to the Dualgunners. It's also probably the best Mastery to use with any of the rare pistols. A P3B2 [[combat pistol]] in a [[Sharpshooter]]'s hands is capable of stunlocking the [[Spider Mastermind]] so hard that you'll kill her in total safety before you even finish your clip. Because of its affinity for rare pistols, [[Sharpshooter]] becomes a ''monster'' in [[Angel of 100|long]] [[Archangel of 666|challenge games]], where encountering a rare pistol becomes an inevitability.

If you do find a rare pistol while running a pistol build, though, just about any pistol build could win the game for you. You might even be able to do a single-pistol build with a General mastery and it could win the game. The rare pistols are all ''phenomenally'' powerful, one of them even offers an auto-nuke that doesn't destroy the weapon. Your ability to succeed with a pistol may often dictated by RNGsus, but on the flipside, few builds can instantly swing from "this is all right I guess" to "holy crap I'm unstoppable" quite like a pistol build with any of its loot.

For this reason, it can be a viable strategy to use a General mastery and buy into [[Son of a Gun]] in an [[Angel of 100]] game, whether at the start or later on, because pistols truly do become monsters in the late-game. [[Scavenger]] is the poster child for this kind of playstyle because it can very easily turn any unneeded weapons into more mods while buying into [[Son of a Bitch]], and so it can become a bigger DPS monster than [[Sharpshooter]] while also gaining some rapid weapon affinity at the same time. The other two classes can use [[Dualgunner]] with their General mastery, too, so in long games, with [[Son of a Gun]] investment, General masteries are sometimes better pistol builds than pistol masteries!

On the whole, [[Son of a Gun]] can take a pitiful weapon and turn it into the best weapon in the game, and it's so good at it, it can be worth the exclusivity of its benefits, even if you don't take a pistol mastery! Pistols may not be any good without it, but there's a reason people rave about them! [[User:Vid-szhite|Ya Girl Juniper]] ([[User talk:Vid-szhite|talk]]) 14:42, 1 June 2023 (UTC)

(0.10.7) SoG has been changed from +1 damage and 20% faster firing to +3 damage and 10% faster firing. Aside from generally changing around the math this has a couple knock-on effects:

* You now need [[Finesse]] or Technical Mods if you want to minimise firing time.

* Combining Son of a Bitch now represents proportionally less damage added to Pistols when before they added the same raw damage.

These combine to make combining SoB and SoG on builds that allow it (e.g. Bullet Dance, Scavenger and Pistol-focused Masterless) is comparatively less appealing since the former does less for you while having greater opportunity cost (now that you need Finesse to maximise DPS). This is especially bad news for the already poor Bullet Dance, which requires you to buy SoB and one of the only things it had going for it was combining both traits...

All effects stack additively (so that three ranks in Ironman will give 30 additional HP), unless said otherwise. Multiple percentage modifiers (for example, Finesse and Son of a Gun) are added if from the same source, and the resulting speeds are multiplied together afterwards.

As of 0.9.9.3, the maximum level of basic traits has been increased (called "extended max" on this page). Upon reaching level 12, all traits that have a standard max of 3 can be increased to a max of 5, and all traits that have a standard max of 2 can be increased to a max of 3.

== Basic Traits ==

All basic traits can be picked from the start, IE they don't require anything.

== Master Traits ==
Master traits have rather constraining requirements: in addition to needing a partcular set of basic and/or advanced traits, you also cannot have any of the "blocked" traits (listed before the prerequisites). Blocked traits cannot be chosen after choosing the master trait, nor can you choose any other master traits (even if they are technically inclusive of each other).

All master traits have one rank.

Assemblies

2026-03-14T22:52:54Z

CrashGordon94: Nano-Shrapnel recipe was changed in the reccent version, also cchanged wording slightly now that Whizkid 3 exists

Assemblies are the finished product of combining standard [[Weapons]]/[[Armor]] or [[Special]] equipment with a particular set of [[Items#Modification Packs|mod packs]]. Some assemblies can only be made with a particular piece of equipment, while others can take a variety of different weapons, armors, or boots. There are three types of assemblies: [[#basic|Basic]], [[#advanced|Advanced]] and [[#master|Master]].

You may choose not to assemble when prompted. If you do so, you will instead have a normal modified piece of equipment that can be modified further (if your [[Whizkid]] level allows it). The latter is particularly useful to remember if you're trying to figure out basic assembly combinations or when trying to assemble a higher rank assembly the recipe for which partially matches a lower rank assembly recipe (for example, [[Fireproof boots]] and [[Environmental boots]]).

Modpacks can be added in any order, with the exception that a second mod of the same type can only be added to armor/boots/melee weapon when completing an assembly, since those can only accept one mod of a kind at once. This additionally applies when an assembly requires a special modpack that normally can't be applied to the requisite piece of equipment (e.g. a [[firestorm mod]] can't be applied to a [[pistol]], so it has to be applied last when assembling [[Demolition ammo]]).

Assemblies can also be modded in limited circumstances. If the player has the second level of Whizkid, they may then add a single mod to an assembly, with the exception of the [[Tower shield]] and [[Fireshield]] (as shields cannot be modded). If the player has the third level of Whizkid, they may then add a second mod to an assembly, with the additional exception of those utilizing [[Unique]]s that can only be modded once.

The [[schematics]] are listed in the order in which they appear on the in-game assembly screen, listing their name, base equipment and the required mods.
