Technology 2 is a passive item.

Effects

  • Replaces Isaac's right eye tears with an unlimited range piercing laser which fires continuously, dealing damage 15 times per second.
  • (except in Repentance and Repentance+) x0.65 Damage multiplier.
  • (except in Repentance and Repentance+) The laser deals 20% of Isaac's damage per tick.
    • This compounds with the damage down for a total of 13% of Isaac's damage per tick.
  • (in Repentance and Repentance+) Only the laser deals 13% of Isaac's damage per tick.
  • (in Repentance and Repentance+) Tears fired per second * (2/3).
  • (in Repentance and Repentance+) Laser is able to knock back enemies.

Notes

  • Tear delay is effectively doubled, as Isaac will do a bit of the animation to fire a right eye tear, but no tear will come out.
  • Charged shots are not affected by the effective tear delay down, as they don't use the alternative left eye/right eye fire scheme.
  • (except in Repentance and Repentance+) As Character Cain icon.pngCain can only fire tears from his right eye, Technology 2 will replace his tears altogether unless he has Collectible Technology icon.pngTechnology or a charged attack.
    • (in Repentance and Repentance+) When used by Cain, or a character that is forced to fire from one eye due to the effects of Collectible Stapler icon.pngStapler or Collectible Lead Pencil icon.pngLead Pencil, they will fire Collectible Technology icon.pngTechnology lasers out of their right eye instead of their normal tears, as long as they have no other items that replace their tears (Collectible Neptunus icon.pngNeptunus lets them fire tears normally). These lasers cannot be angled with momentum.
  • (except in Repentance and Repentance+) Because Character Lilith icon.pngLilith is blindfolded and relies on her (except in Rebirth)Collectible Incubus icon.pngIncubus, the only effect gained from Technology 2 is the damage down.
    • (in Repentance and Repentance+) Incubus can fire laser and tears as normal; stat effects apply.
  • (in Repentance and Repentance+) The blood clots spawned by Character Tainted Eve icon.pngTainted Eve will all also fire their own individual lasers.
  • The laser can apply status effects very efficiently due to its high tick rate.

Synergies

  • (except in Rebirth)Collectible 8 Inch Nails icon.png8 Inch Nails / (except in Rebirth)BlisterBlister / Collectible Pisces icon.pngPisces: The laser will consistently push back enemies.
  • Collectible Blood Clot icon.pngBlood Clot / Collectible Chemical Peel icon.pngChemical Peel: Since Isaac's right eye is replaced by Technology 2, he can only fire tears from his left eye, which gives all his tears higher damage and range.
  • (except in Rebirth)Collectible Brimstone icon.pngBrimstone: Laser fires continuously while Brimstone charges at normal rate.
  • Collectible Chocolate Milk icon.pngChocolate Milk: The laser fires while Chocolate Milk charges at normal rate.

    • (in Repentance and Repentance+) Tears are replaced with lasers, fired from the same eye of Technology 2.
  • Collectible Epic Fetus icon.pngEpic Fetus: The laser fires while the missiles are being aimed.
  • (in Repentance and Repentance+) Collectible Euthanasia icon.pngEuthanasia / Collectible Explosivo icon.pngExplosivo / Collectible Holy Light icon.pngHoly Light / Collectible Little Horn icon.pngLittle Horn / Nose GoblinNose Goblin / Collectible Sinus Infection icon.pngSinus Infection: Every damage tick from the laser can also apply these tear effects and does so rapidly.
    • (except in Rebirth)Collectible Explosivo icon.pngExplosivo’s 60 point explosion damage bonus is unaffected by the laser’s reduced damage making the combination incredibly effective.
  • (in Repentance and Repentance+) Collectible Incubus icon.pngIncubus / Lil ClotLil Clot / Collectible Sumptorium icon.pngSumptorium / Collectible Twisted Pair icon.pngTwisted Pair: The familiars fire a continuous laser.
  • Collectible Ipecac icon.pngIpecac: Laser damage increases dramatically while also gaining the poison effect.
  • (in Repentance and Repentance+)Collectible Lachryphagy icon.pngLachryphagy: The laser has its range shortened but rapidly creates and feeds Lachryphagy tears.
  • (in Repentance and Repentance+)Collectible Lead Pencil icon.pngLead Pencil: Replaces tears with lasers similar to Collectible Technology icon.pngTechnology. These are shot from the eye that shoots Technology 2, doing damage alongside the Technology 2 beam.
  • Collectible Lost Contact icon.pngLost Contact: The laser destroys all hostile projectiles that come into contact with it.
  • Collectible The Ludovico Technique icon.pngThe Ludovico Technique: Isaac simultaneously controls a tear and fires the laser; however, Isaac will only fire the Technology 2 laser in the direction that the tear is currently facing.
    • (in Repentance and Repentance+) The Ludovico Technique also makes the laser spectral.
  • (except in Rebirth)Collectible A Lump of Coal icon.pngA Lump of Coal: Damage increases the further away the enemy is, on a multiplier that is roughly +20% per tile of distance.

  • (except in Rebirth)Collectible Rubber Cement icon.pngRubber Cement: Laser bounces off of walls.
  • (except in Repentance and Repentance+)Collectible Technology icon.pngTechnology: Equips two lasers that can be fired at the same time. As Technology is always fired from the right eye, it is not affected by the halved normal attack rate.
    • (in Repentance and Repentance+) Technology is affected by the fire rate multiplier. Holding Collectible Stapler icon.pngStapler, Collectible Lead Pencil icon.pngLead Pencil or playing as Character Cain icon.pngCain will allow Isaac to angle shots with momentum again.
  • Collectible Tiny Planet icon.pngTiny Planet: The laser spirals around Isaac once and then goes straight again.
  • (except in Rebirth)Collectible The Wiz icon.pngThe Wiz: Tears are fired diagonally while the laser is fired straight forward.
