Tractor Beam is a passive item added in the Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth expansion.
Effects
- A beam appears directly in front of Isaac in the direction that his head is facing. Isaac's tears travel in the path of the beam.
- When Isaac moves or turns his head, tears that are mid-flight will snap to the beam.
- +0.5 Tears up.
- +5.25 Range up.
- +0.16 Shot speed.
- +0.5 Tear height.
Synergies
- Homing Tears: The tears will stay in the line but slow down at the monsters location.
- Conjoined transformation: The 2 split shots will instead follow the beam, making it easier to hit enemies with. Essentially increases DPS.
20/20: Both tears are fired along the beam.
Anti-Gravity: Tears that are still hovering can be pushed in the direction Isaac is aiming by walking into them.
Cricket's Body: All splash tears will follow the beam, effectively tripling damage.
Continuum: The tears will re-appear directly in front of Isaac after leaving the room.- Dr. Fetus: After firing a bomb and moving, the bomb will have a homing-style effect towards the beam, but will not stay directly on the beam.
- Epiphora: When shooting in the same direction, Isaac's fire rate will gradually increase. Tears stay on the beam.
- Explosivo: Explosivo's tears will become "entangeled" when sticking on an enemy, causing them to jump from the tractor beam to the enemy and vice versa every frame. The tear will explode only once either at the beam or the enemy.
- The Inner Eye: All three tears follow the beam, overlapping each other, making it easier to hit the same enemy with all of them. This effect also applies to the Keeper.
- Ipecac: The Ipecac tear will always travel forwards along the beam, even if Isaac is moving forward as well. This makes it less likely for Isaac to get damaged by his own tear.
- Mom's Knife: Teleports the knife when aiming in a different direction after you shot the knife.
- Monstro's Lung: All tears are fired along the beam, but at diferent heights.
- Mutant Spider: All four tears follow the beam, overlapping each other, making it easier to hit the same enemy with all of them
- The Parasite: All splash tears will follow the beam. If combined with 20/20, will result in absurdly strong knockback, capable of pushing almost any boss away with incredible force.
- Pop!: Tears stick along the tractor beam even when they slow down and collide, capable of creating a dense line of shots.
- Rubber Cement: Tears will follow the beam until they bounce off of something, then they will leave the beam.
- Sprinkler: Tears fired by the sprinkler will follow Isaac's beam, increasing damage output.
- Tiny Planet: The tears will no longer orbit Isaac, but still gain the Range Up bonus.
- Tiny Planet + Rubber Cement: Tears will travel along the beam and upon hitting a wall will then orbit Isaac.
- The Wiz: The tears still follow the beam, passing over obstacles.
Interactions
- Brimstone: Overridden by Brimstone.
- Guillotine: The beam will visually follow Isaac's head as it orbits, but tears will still stay centered relative to Isaac's body.
- Incubus: The Incubus tears isn't affected by the beam, but the beam will still be there.
- The Ludovico Technique: Overridden by The Ludovico Technique.
- Marked: Tears will not fire diagonally; only up, down, left, or right based on where Marked is on floor.
- Multidimensional Baby: The beam only affects the "original" tears, not the duplicate ones (in other words, half of the split tears follow the beam)
- Tammy's Head: Tractor Beam has no effect on the tears created by Tammy's Head.
- Tech X: Overridden by Tech X.
- Technology: Overridden by Technology.
Notes
- This item prevents the player from firing tears at angles using momentum.
- The primary effect is not applied for Azazel and Lilith, although they can still profit from the increased Tear rate.
