Binding of Isaac: Rebirth Wiki

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 Collectible Technology iconTechnology or a charged attack.
  • Because Lilith is blindfolded and relies on her Collectible Incubus iconIncubus, the only effect gained from Technology 2 is the damage down.
  • Unlike Collectible Technology iconTechnology, Technology 2 doesn't override Azazel-inherent Brimstone and the laser can be fired while the Brimstone is charged.
    • (except in Rebirth) 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.
  • (except in Rebirth)Collectible 8 Inch Nails icon8 Inch Nails: The laser will constantly knock back enemies.
  • Collectible Brimstone iconBrimstone: Overrides Technology 2, but retains the reduced damage.
    • (except in Rebirth) Laser fires continuously while Brimstone is charging.
  • Collectible Chocolate Milk iconChocolate Milk: Tears shot from the left eye will gain the charged shot effect but the laser is unaffected.
  • Collectible Dead Onion iconDead Onion: Overridden by Technology 2.
  • (except in Rebirth)Collectible Incubus iconIncubus:  Decreases damage of Incubus' tears; Incubus does not fire a continuous laser.
  • Collectible Monstro's Lung iconMonstro's Lung: Tears shot from the left eye will gain the charged shot effect but the laser is unaffected.
  • Collectible Ouija Board iconOuija Board: Tears shot from the left eye will gain the spectral effect but the laser is unaffected.

Synergies

  • Collectible Blood Clot iconBlood Clot/Collectible Chemical Peel iconChemical 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.
  • Collectible Cursed Eye iconCursed Eye: Laser fires continuously while Cursed eye is charging, retaining the teleporting effect.
  • Collectible Epic Fetus iconEpic Fetus: The laser fires while the missiles are being charged.
  • Collectible Fire Mind iconFire Mind: Laser will set enemies on fire but will not explode.
  • Homing Tears: Gives homing laser and tears.
  • Collectible Ipecac iconIpecac: Laser damage increases dramatically while also gaining the poison effect.
  • Collectible Lost Contact iconLost Contact: The laser destroys all hostile projectiles that come into contact with it.
  • Collectible The Ludovico Technique iconThe 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.
  • (except in Rebirth) Collectible A Lump of Coal iconA 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 a mitigation of damage penalty from longer distances.
  • (except in Rebirth)Collectible Marked iconMarked: Isaac simultaneously controls a big red target on the ground and fires the laser in the cardinal directions.
  • Collectible Mom's Contacts iconMom's Contacts: The laser causes enemies to enter a state of "perma-freeze" if constantly fired upon.
  • Collectible Mom's Knife iconMom's Knife: Laser fires while charging knife.
  • (except in Rebirth) Collectible My Reflection iconMy Reflection: Laser is bent as Isaac moves, then gradually becomes straight as he stands still.
  • (except in Rebirth) Collectible Pisces iconPisces: Laser can knock back enemies well due to its high fire rate.
  • Collectible Polyphemus iconPolyphemus: Greatly increases the laser's damage, counteracting the damage penalty.
  • (except in Rebirth) Collectible Rubber Cement iconRubber Cement: Laser bounces off of walls.
  • Collectible Technology iconTechnology: 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.
  • Collectible Tiny Planet iconTiny Planet: The laser spirals around Isaac once and then go straight again.
  • Collectible Soy Milk iconSoy Milk: Fires both simultaneously, however, both damage reductions are applied.
  • (except in Rebirth)Collectible The Wiz iconThe Wiz: Tears are fired diagonally while the laser is fired straight forward.
