Props Overview

Note: Vault Statues and Portals will be on this page until the Areas page is made, in which they will be moved there.

Props are various objects that are spread across each area of the game to add flair. While some props are just normal objects that do nothing, others are hazards that can cause harm to the player and enemies.

While enemies HP scales by loop, props will always have the same amount. The exceptions to this is Vault Statues increasing with each loop, and Loop Generators only having higher HP on preloop.

Rad canisters are props that can be found on the pickups page with their related tech.

Most props can be damaged by both the player and any enemies. This means that they can be used for temporary cover (mainly in early game), or block a players shot if not paying attention. Weapons that are capable of piercing can also pierce props if their HP is low enough.

Enemies that do contact damage can only harm props this way if their size variable is larger than that of the prop. There's a few exceptions to this, such as Big Maggots never breaking props.

While most props are neutral, some are on the enemy team and will not be damaged by enemies. These include the Ice Flower, Vault Statues, Throne Statues, Large Generators and Frog Eggs. IDPD can still harm these props as they're considered on the IDPD team, and any enemy damage that can harm all teams can still damage these props (such as explosives or toxic).

Props List

The "Hazard" category on the table refers to the type of damage it can cause. Any of these harms both the player and enemies, aside from props that simply spawn enemies.

Explosions cause 5 damage a frame twice for 10 damage total, bullets cause 3 damage, while toxic does 3 damage a cloud and respects iframes.

The flower can be 'fed' HP using the interact button, and when fed 4 HP it will bring the player to the Jungle area. Strong Spirit can be used to feed it 1 HP, but otherwise being at 1 health will be lethal, even if it's the last HP needed to enter.

Throne Statue		Special	Throne Room	Enemy	7-3 will always include 10 of these statues and cannot be destroyed by most means. Upon being destroyed it will spawn 1 Palace Guardian, plus 1 more for each loop. Any large plasma ball attack will instantly destroy them, whether from the Throne or the player using Plasma Cannon or Super Plasma Cannon while the fight is active. Also destroyed if the Throne walks over them, as well as Guardians being killed when right next to a statue.
Big Generator		230*	Throne Room	Explosion	Four of these will always spawn on 7-3 and can only be damaged while the fight is active. Upon its destruction it will cause four green explosions and drop 20 rads, with a chance of 2 pickups. If all four are destroyed before killing the Throne, the run will be loop back to the start rather than end. This will also cut the Throne's current HP in half, but only during L0. Starting in L1 generators will no longer reduce the Throne's HP, but they also have their HP lowered to 50 being much easier to destroy.

Night Bone Pile		2	Campfire	Normal	A variation of the Bone Pile that appears in the loop campfire area.

Venuz TV		1000	YV's Crib	Normal	A giant TV that Yung Cuz is using to play games on. If destroyed it will cause Cuz to cry loudly until the area is left.

Vaults (WIP)

This section will be moved to the areas guide at a later point, with better formatting and images.

In Loop 0, these statues will spawn in with 120 HP in their first idle phase. When they fall under 70% of their health (83 HP in this case) then they will enter their collecting phase. Any rads that are within range of the statue will be attracted to it instead of the player, though the player can still collect these rads if it touches them first.

If the statue is fed 24 rads it will light up in the middle and become fully activated. Even when full it will still collect rads. If the prop is destroyed it will open a green portal, leading the player to the Crown Vault. If the other level exit portal is entered without destroying the activated statue, the secret area will not be entered.

As mentioned in the intro section, statues are considered on the enemy team which protects them from enemy damage. Enemies on the IDPD team can still freely damage it, as well as enemy attacks that harms all teams (such as explosions or toxic). Similarly prop explosions can damage statues. If a statue is destroyed before being fully activated, the secret area will fail to trigger.

Two portals summoning IDPD units will spawn when the statue enters its collecting phase, and two more when it enters its activated phase. If a crown is selected while in the Crown Vault, one more IDPD portal will spawn at the start of the next level.

Vault Statues will always spawn four Bandits around them, which will become four Snow Bandits in Frozen City. This can be used to locate statues quicker.

Unlike other props, statues will gain more HP each loop to make accidental destruction less likely. It gains +12 HP per loop:

While vault statues HP is unlikely to ever be needed after L3, if wanting the exact HP use the formula of 120 + (Loop * 12).

Portals (WIP)

This section will be moved to the areas guide at a later point, with better formatting and images.

Portals serve as level exits once every enemy is killed. Their placement will always be over the corpse of the last enemy killed, though this can be difficult to predict in more chaotic levels. Vans and props do not need to be destroyed to trigger the portal, however if they are destroyed right after the last enemy is killed the portal may spawn at their location.

It's possible to have two exit portals open at once, such as having the exit portal with Pizza Sewers or a Vault Statue. If a secret area portal is open then either portal will bring the player there. The pause menu will immediately change the area to 2-? or ??? respectively as well.

A small audio cue will play after the second to last enemy in a level is killed, signifying only one more needs to be killed. This can play multiple times in the same level if additional enemies are spawned.

The closer the player is to a portal the stronger the pull is, and it will become inescapable if close enough. If the portal is touched at all this will end the level, even if the player manages to escape the portal (such as with Fish's Thronebutt mutation).

When inside the portal the player's sprite will be changed to their hurt animation one while getting sucked in. During this brief period before level end the player is fully invulnerable to any sources of enemy damage, but is still able to self-damage through blood weapons or certain character actives.

While right outside of the portal there is a brief period in which the player has their hurt animation active but will only give invulnerability to damage sources that respect player iframes. Notably one of the damage sources that does not respect iframes is explosion damage, meaning that an exit portal causing a nearby car to explode could kill the player, even if they're barely outside of the portal. Boiling Veins will actually grant full invulnerability to explosives in this specific state, as it makes explosives respect iframes.

On 7-3 and 0-1 there are giant portals after completing the fight. The entire time the player is getting sucked in they will have their hurt animation play as well, meaning they are also in the semi-invulnerable state, though there are not many ways to get damaged after this fight. Exception being for meta players in loops 4+, Popo Freaks will not instantly die if the fight on 0-1 is completed. Once the portal actually opens the player is immune to their contact or bullet damage, but not their grenade explosives unless running Boiling Veins.

Entering the 7-3 portal specifically will uncurse any currently held weapons, but not the 0-1 portal despite looking the same.

Portals will destroy any walls and props within its immediate vicinity, including hazardous props that can kill the player. They will also cause any chests to automatically open, giving pickups. While an exit portal is open all pickups/rads will be automatically attracted to the player no matter the distance, and any pickups that touch an exit portal will also be granted to the player.

Portals will also suck in any nearby weapons, bringing them to the next level. Ammo from these weapons will be granted either upon touching the exit portal or upon entering the next level. The final enemy in a level could be strategically killed to have their corpse land to a certain weapon to bring to the next level.

Rare bug: If all enemies in a level are killed but the exit portal does not open, it means that there is still an enemy alive stuck inside of a wall somewhere. This is very unlikely to happen in normal gameplay. In case this happens, walk the level perimeter and try to find them. (Melee is useful here as it can hit inside walls)
