Not to be confused with Tech.5 or Technology.

Technology 2 is a passive item.

Effects

• Replaces the character's right eye tears with an unlimited range piercing laser which fires continuously.
• x0.65 Damage multiplier.
• The laser deals 20% of Isaac's damage per tick, compounding with the damage down.

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.
• As Cain can only fire tears from his right eye, Technology 2 will replace his tears altogether unless he has Technology or a charged attack.
• Because Lilith is blindfolded and relies on her Incubus, the only effect gained from Technology 2 is the damage down.
• Unlike Technology, Technology 2 doesn't override Azazel-inherent Brimstone and the laser can be fired while the Brimstone is charged.
  • Technology wraps around Brimstone beams and does not override Azazel's Brimstone.

Interactions

• Azazel: The Technology 2 laser continuously fires as Azazel charges his Brimstone. Damage is still reduced.
• 8 Inch Nails: The laser will constantly knock back enemies.
• Brimstone: Overrides Technology 2, but retains the reduced damage.
  • Laser fires continuously while Brimstone is charging.
• Chocolate Milk: Tears shot from the left eye will gain the charged shot effect but the laser is unaffected.
• Dead Onion: Overridden by Technology 2.
• Incubus:  Decreases damage of Incubus' tears; Incubus does not fire a continuous laser.
• Monstro's Lung: Tears shot from the left eye will gain the charged shot effect but the laser is unaffected.
• Ouija Board: Tears shot from the left eye will gain the spectral effect but the laser is unaffected.

Synergies

• Blood Clot/ Chemical 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.
• Cursed Eye: Laser fires continuously while Cursed eye is charging, retaining the teleporting effect.
• Epic Fetus: The laser fires while the missiles are being charged.
• Fire Mind: Laser will set enemies on fire but will not explode.
• Homing Tears: Gives homing laser and tears.
• Ipecac: Laser damage increases dramatically while also gaining the poison effect.
• Lost Contact: The laser destroys all hostile projectiles that come into contact with it.
• The 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.
• A Lump of Coal: Damage increases the further away the enemy is, on a multiplier that is roughly +20% per tile of distance. This allows for mitigation of damage penalty from longer distances.
• Marked: Isaac simultaneously controls a big red target on the ground and fires the laser in the cardinal directions.
• Mom's Contacts: The laser causes enemies to enter a state of "perma-freeze" if constantly fired upon.
• Mom's Knife: Laser fires while charging knife.
• My Reflection: Laser is bent as Isaac moves, then gradually becomes straight as he stands still.
• Pisces: Laser can knock back enemies well due to its high fire rate.
• Polyphemus: Greatly increases the laser's damage, counteracting the damage penalty.
• Rubber Cement: Laser bounces off of walls.
• Technology: 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 effective tear delay down.
• Tiny Planet: The laser spirals around Isaac once and then go straight again.
• Soy Milk: Fires both simultaneously, however, both damage reductions are applied.
• The Wiz: Tears are fired diagonally while the laser is fired straight forward.
