When the Escape Tsunami For Brainrots Fire and Ice update launched on Saturday, the devs added two brand new gear items to the in-game shop. One of those items was a brand new OP shield, as well as the brand new Harpoon Gun.
Until now, to pick up brainrots in the game, you’d have to run up to each one you want to pick up, and individually interact with each one depending on which device you play on.
It usually takes a few seconds to pick up any one brainrot, and you’re able to carry multiple brainrots and Lucky Blocks, providing you have upgraded your Carry slots in the Upgrade Shop.
The Escape Tsunami For Brainrots Harpoon Gun is a Robux only item, and is only available via the in-game shop, by clicking on the red basket icon, on the left side of your screen.
Inside the store, you can only use Robux to purchase the Harpoon Gun, and not the in-game Trade Tokens currency, and it costs 795 Robux. There is the ability to gift the Harpoon Gun to another play too, should you wish to.
The description for the Harpoon Gun is “click brainrots to pick them up from a distance”, and it is a purchase once, and keep forever situation. Once you’ve purchased the item, it automatically gets added to your inventory, and you can start using it.
When you equip it, it puts an orange, yellow and blue Harpoon Gun in your hand, and you simply click on a brainrot once, that you’re relatively close to, and the brainrot will teleport to your hand.
You still have to run back to Spawn with the brainrot, before it is added to your inventory, but it is amazing for when you want to quickly scoop up a brainrot, and you’re short on time, your shield is out of action or there’s a big wave incoming.
Annoyingly, there is a cooldown on the Harpoon Gun, so you can’t just keep shooting and collecting brainrots. Once you’ve used the Harpoon Gun, you have no choice but to wait 8 seconds before you can use it again, kinda like the cooldown on the Wave Shields.
During this week’s Wave Wednesday admin abuse, the admin gave us the temporary ability to use the Harpoon Gun, so everyone could test it out.
They also ran the Peakaboo event multiple times, so everyone could test the new Harpoon Gun out for themselves which was cool. I imagine a lot of players bought the Harpoon Gun, after they tested it out, and seeing how amazing it was.
You are only able to purchase the Harpoon Gun once within the in-game store, but I don’t know if you’re able to trade for other Harpoon Guns, or pick them up in the Trading Plaza, so you can have multiple?
We can have multiple bags and shields, so it is possible we can, but I haven’t seen that confirmed anywhere right now.
My favorite way to use the Harpoon Gun in Escape Tsunami For Brainrots, is when there’s a Divine Race or a Celestial Race, and you can be standing inside one of the cut out sections and click the brainrot without having to run up to it, trying to dodge the crazy waves, and you have a super short timer.
You can also use the Harpoon Gun to snatch a brainrot that another player is trying to grab, too. Although, one thing you cannot do with the Harpoon Gun, is to use it to pick up Lucky Blocks, which is a shame. You have to collect those just like normal, going up to them individually. When you’re holding brainrots and/or Lucky Blocks, you can still use the Harpoon Gun to pick up another brainrot too, so you don’t have to use it empty handed.
795 Robux is pricey, there is no denying it, but I was able to pick up some really rare items in the Wave Wednesday admin abuse alone, so to me, it has already been worth it, but it is a shame we can’t use Trade Tokens to purchase it, like we can with the gear items inside the Mystery Merchant.
