RC Remote is an unlockable trinket added in The Binding of Isaac: Repentance.

Effects

  • Instead of trailing behind Isaac, familiars are directly controlled by the same inputs as Isaac's.
  • Holding the drop button will allow Isaac to move while keeping the familiars in place, identical to Character Jacob and Esau icon.pngJacob and Esau.

Notes

  • This trinket affects the same familiars King BabyKing Baby effects. For a list of the familiars unaffected by this trinket, visit King Baby's page.
  • Throwable familiars do not return to Isaac upon impact; instead, they treat their impact location as their new "launch" location, and can be fired in any direction from there. The only exception is Jaw BoneJaw Bone which will return to the location it was launched from.

Synergies

  • Friendship NecklaceFriendship Necklace + Spin to WinSpin to Win: Familiars affected by Friendship Necklace are still considered orbitals regardless of positioning allowing Isaac to use their contact damage without getting close to enemies. RC Remote also prevents familiars that weren't already orbitals from flashing when Spin to Win is used despite still being affected by the active item.
  • King BabyKing Baby: Familiars are not held in place while firing but still auto-target enemies.
  • Character Lilith icon.pngLilith: IncubusIncubus can be positioned on top of Lilith, effectively removing Lilith's downside.
  • Character Tainted Forgotten icon.pngTainted Forgotten: Familiars will move with Tainted Soul, and not follow behind Tainted Forgotten like they normally do. This is massively beneficial as it allows Tainted Soul to have actual protection against enemies. Orbitals still remain orbiting Tainted Forgotten as expected.
