Bot Fly is a passive item added in The Binding of Isaac: Repentance.

Effects

  • Spawns a robotic Pooter.pngPooter familiar that orbits around Isaac and fires shielded tears at incoming enemy projectiles, which destroy them on contact.
    • The shielded tears home in on projectiles, but not enemies.
    • The familiar deals 1 contact damage per tick or 3 damage per second, and instantly kills weak fly enemies on contact.
    • The shielded tears deal 3 damage if they hit an enemy.
  • This item belongs to the BeelzebubBeelzebub set. Collecting three items from this set will transform Isaac into a giant humanoid fly.

Notes

  • Only 5 Bot Flies can circle Isaac at a time.
  • While most orbital familiars orbit Isaac counter-clockwise, Bot Fly orbits clockwise. It shares this orbit ring, speed, and pattern with Distant AdmirationDistant Admiration.

Interactions

Trivia

  • Bot Fly is from the Antibirth mod. In Antibirth, the shots would home on projectiles only when paired with BFFS!BFFS!.
  • This item's name appears to be a play on the word "bot" when used as shorthand for "robot" and on "botfly", a parasitic insect which lives in tropical climates.
