Discover the full list of Active Items in Enter the Gungeon, their effects, and how to use them to gain an advantage in your quest to kill your past. Learn about every active item.

Active items in Enter the Gungeon are equippable items that provide a unique, often powerful, effect when activated. Unlike passive items, which provide a constant bonus, active items must be manually used, typically by pressing the active item button. These items can range from offensive abilities to defensive maneuvers, utility tools, and even ways to manipulate the game's mechanics. Mastering the use of active items is crucial for survival and success in the Gungeon.
