Learn how to effectively use the Roundabout weapon's rear-attacking projectiles in Cuphead. Master this weapon for easier boss fights and level progression with our expert tips.
The Roundabout is a weapon you unlock in Cuphead. Its main gimmick is that when you fire it, it travels forward a short distance and then starts homing in on enemies. Even cooler, if you hold down the fire button, it will fire a projectile that travels forward and then reverses direction to fly back towards you. This is super useful for hitting enemies that are behind you or for dealing damage while you're retreating.
Here's how to get the most out of it:
- Aiming Behind You: The primary use is to shoot it, let it travel a bit, and then have it fly back at enemies you've already passed. This is perfect for bosses that you need to keep distance from or enemies that are hard to hit directly.
- Damage While Dodging: You can fire the Roundabout and then immediately dodge. The projectile will continue on its path and then return, hitting enemies while you're busy avoiding attacks.
- Strategic Placement: Sometimes, you can fire it and position yourself so that the returning projectile hits a target you couldn't normally reach.
Tips
- Don't be afraid to hold down the fire button to get that reverse shot. It's the weapon's main strength!
- Practice the timing. Knowing when to fire and when to let it return will take a little getting used to, but it's worth it.
- This weapon is especially good against bosses where you need to maintain distance, like Grim Matchstick or King Dice's minions.
