Anti-Gravity is a passive item.

Effects[ | ]

  • Holding the fire buttons causes tears to hover in midair. When released, the tears will all shoot in the direction they were originally fired.
    • If the fire buttons are not released, the tears will fire on their own after 3 seconds.
  • (except in Repentance) -2 tear delay (increased rate of fire)
    • Since this directly affects tear delay instead of changing the tears stat, it allows Isaac's rate of fire to go over the normal maximum rate.
    • Tear delay decreases are more noticeable and are a greater increase to DPS when the tears stat is high.
  • (in Repentance) +1.0 fire rate.

Notes[ | ]

  • Gravitational effects, such as Boss Mega Fatty ingameMega Fatty's inhalation or a Gaping MawGaping Maw will pull floating tears toward them.
  • The range attribute only affects the lifespan of the tears after they have been released.
  • Hovering tears can damage monsters like KnightKnights or Boss Mask of Infamy ingameMask of Infamy from the front, even if they don't have the piercing effect.
