Room Clear Awards
When clearing a room, the game has a chance of rewarding a pickup or trinket. This is based on many things, including your current luck and whether you have some particular items.
Process[edit | edit source]
First, the game generates a random number using this formula:
(RandomFloat * Luck * 0.1) + pickupPercent
- RandomFloat and pickupPercent are random numbers between 0 and 1
- Luck is clamped to 0 if Isaac’s luck is less than 0 and 10 if Isaac’s luck is greater than 10
- This chance is modified by the following items/trinkets:
Lucky Foot multiplies RandomFloat and pickupPercent by 0.9, then adds 0.1 to both of them.
Lucky Toe multiplies pickupPercent by 0.98, then adds 0.02 to it.
That number is then used to determine the reward given after clearing the room, using the following index:
- Nothing (< 0.22, base 22% chance)
- A tarot card, pill, or trinket (0.22 - 0.3, base 8% chance)
- All three possibilities are equally likely to be chosen, giving them individual base 2.66% chances.
- A coin (0.3 - 0.45, base 15% chance)
- The range increases to 0.3 - 0.5 (base 20%) if Isaac has
Rib of Greed
- The range increases to 0.3 - 0.5 (base 20%) if Isaac has
- A heart (0.45 - 0.6, base 15% chance)
- The range decreases to 0.5 - 0.6 (base 10%) if Isaac has Rib of Greed
- If Isaac has
Daemon's Tail, the heart has an 80% chance of being replaced with a key.
- A key (0.6 - 0.8, base 20% chance)
- A bomb (0.8 - 0.95, base 15% chance)
- A chest (> 0.95, base 5% chance)
- If Isaac has positive luck, the chance for a chest increases and all other chances decrease.
- Lucky Foot/Toe decrease the chance of getting nothing, but do not themselves increase the chance for chests to spawn.
- If Isaac has positive luck, the chance for a chest increases and all other chances decrease.
The reward then has a chance to be replaced/modified by the following, in order:
- A lil' battery (3.33% chance if Isaac has
Watch Battery)
- A sack (2% chance, always in effect)
- A tarot card (10% chance if Isaac has
Ace of Spades)
- A pill (10% chance if Isaac has
Safety Cap)
- A bomb (10% chance if Isaac has
Match Stick)
- A heart (10% chance if Isaac has
Child's Heart)
- A key (10% chance if Isaac has
Rusted Key)
- A trinket (2% chance if Isaac has
Smelter)
- If Isaac has multiple of these, the first one to activate is the one that replaces the room reward
Guppy's Tail has a 33% chance to replace the reward with a chest (either gray or locked with equal chances) and a 33% chance to replace it with nothing.
Contract From Below causes an extra copy of the reward to spawn, but has a 33% chance to replace it with nothing.
- Each extra contract Isaac has causes another copy of the reward to spawn and halves the chance the reward becomes nothing.
- If playing on Hard Mode, heart rewards have a 66% chance to be replaced with nothing.
Broken Modem has a 25% chance to create an additional copy of the reward if it’s a key, coin, heart, bomb, or sack.
Pseudo-code[edit | edit source]
The full logic is contained within the following pseudo-code:
