Acquire Rubber Cement 5 timesFlat Stone

Flat Stone is an unlockable passive item added in Booster Pack #5.

Effects

• Tears bounce off the floor.
  • Whenever a tear bounces, it deals splash damage to all nearby enemies for 25% of Isaac's tear damage.

Notes

• The tear can fly over obstacles for a short time after being fired.
• The frequency of bounces is based on time, not distance travelled by the tear. As such, having a lower shot speed will mean the tear will bounce more times before hitting the wall.
• Indirectly acquiring Rubber Cement through items like D4Rerolls all of Isaac's items. and D100Upon use, rerolls all passive items on Isaac like the D4, every pedestal item in the room like The D6, and every pickup like the D20. counts towards unlocking the item.

Synergies

• Compound FractureIncreases range. Tears turn into bones, which shatter into 1-3 bone shards upon hitting an enemy or obstacle.: Bone tears will bounce normally, and bone shards will only bounce once.
• Cricket's BodyGrants -1 Tear Delay and reduces Range. When tears hit an object or deplete their range, they spawn 4 smaller tears, whose Range and Damage scale with Isaac's./ HaemolacriaTears are now fired in an arc. Upon hitting the floor, an obstacle, or an enemy, they burst into many smaller tears in all directions. Increases tear delay./ The ParasiteIsaac's tears split in two when they hit something.: Tears release split tears every time they bounce.
• Dr. FetusTears are replaced by bombs that benefit from bomb-enhancing effects and slide for a fixed time after being fired.: Bombs bounce, dealing damage to nearby enemies when they bounce.
• The Forgotten: The bone club bounces when thrown.
• IpecacReplaces tears with explosive and poisoning projectiles fired in an arc from the mouth.: The explosive shot bounces, poisoning and dealing high damage to nearby enemies when it bounces.
• The Ludovico TechniqueInstead of firing tears, Isaac controls one floating tear that hover over obstacles. This tear deals constant damage when held in place over an enemy.: The tear constantly bounces.
  • The Ludovico Technique + Compound Fracture: Bone shards burst on every bounce.
  • The Ludovico Technique + Jacob's LadderTears fire sparks of electricity in random directions upon hitting an obstacle or enemy.: Electricity bursts on every bounce.
• Monstro's LungIncreases damage and grants a charged shot that fires multiple tears in the same fashion as Monstro.: All tears bounce simultaneously, greatly increasing reach of the burst.
• Mysterious LiquidTears leave a small, short lasting pool of creep on impact or when their range is depleted.: Tears leave a pool of creep with each bounce.
• Pop!Replaces Isaac's tears with eyeballs that can bounce off of each other. The eyeballs are not limited by range, and will instead dissipate when they stop moving or when hitting an enemy or obstacle.: Eyeball tears bounce repeatedly against the floor when they are about to disappear, but can be knocked by other tears to reset their range, meaning tears can be kept in the air forever as long as they are hit when they are bouncing against the floor.

• Jacob's LadderTears fire sparks of electricity in random directions upon hitting an obstacle or enemy.: No electricity on bounces.
• Kidney StoneRandomly while firing tears, Isaac will stop firing and turn red, where he will charge and release a lot of 'tears' in one go. In the burst of tears is a kidney stone which deals a lot of damage.: The stone fired by Kidney Stone doesn't bounce.
• LachryphagyIsaac's tears decelerate as they travel. Upon stopping or hitting an obstacle, they burst into 8 tears in all directions. Tears can be fired into other tears to feed them, increasing their damage.: Overrides Flat Stone.

Trivia

• Flat Stone is based on this Steam Workshop item by Maddogs and Joe, originally known as Hydrophobicity.
• It seems as though originally, the lasers produced by the Technology items (Technology, Technology 2, and Tech.5) and Brimstone were meant to synergize as seen in the Concept Art of Flat Stone.
