Objects



The player can carry, throw, and use a variety of items to assist in survival. The can carry two items, and will throw the item carried in its right hand (viewer's left) first. You can swap the items in the Slugcat's hands by double tapping the grab button. Certain items can also be carried in the Slugcat's stomach by holding the grab button, as though eating it, and then regurgitated by holding the grab button again (Note that, since this is the same controls as eating, the Slugcat will eat any food being carried before swallowing any non-food, unless it is already full). Objects can also be dropped by holding down and the grab button, which will not trigger any on-throw effects for items such as explosives. More details on object management can be found on the Controls page.

Most objects will not despawn when stored in shelters, even if the player is not in the same chamber. This is useful for storing valuable weapons or certain s, or simply for ensuring that you have any necessary items for the next cycle, since most items are spawned procedurally, and may not appear in the same place on subsequent cycles.

Certain objects can also be given as gifts to s to raise the players reputation with them and obtain new items.

Ranging from to berries to bugs, most varieties of food are carried in one hand and can be thrown a short distance. A full list of all the different edible plants and animals can be found on the main Food page. Most food can only be thrown a short distance, but and dried  are notable exceptions. Certain foods can be used to distract or even tame larger creatures, but the most common use of food is for the player to eat it.



A unique, tiny blue fruit which cannot be eaten in its raw form. Instead, the fruit must be submerged in water before being eaten. Bubble fruit will then give off a brief pop, becoming edible, bubble-like transparent orbs. Bubble fruit are thrown at full force unlike normal food, and has the ability to stun enemies much like.



Rubbish is a term for common, unremarkable objects such as bricks and rocks that are found all throughout the game. Although rubbish can't be used to directly kill enemies, they can be thrown at full force to stun most enemies for a moment, or thrown at a wall to create a distracting noise so that the player can sneak by. Thrown rubbish does enough damage to kill Batflies, making catching them much easier. In addition, throwing rubbish at a 's head will flip it over and expose its vulnerable body to further attack.



Spears are weapons that are can be thrown, much like rubbish. Spears, unlike other items, can only be carried one at a time (except when playing as Hunter, who can carry 2) and cannot be swallowed. They will cause a sizable amount of damage to most enemies if you hit them in the right spot. Spears can also be stuck into most walls, although they can deflect off of walls if they hit the wall in the wrong spot. Spears can also be stuck inside floors, but the use of doing so is situational. In certain cases, spears can pin enemies to the wall, which can allow the player extra attack opportunities or extra time to escape.



Explosive spears are spears draped in explosive red ribbons. Explosive spears are mostly held by Scavengers, so the most consistent ways for the player to obtain them are to either trade for them with Scavengers or take them from Scavenger hideouts. They can also be found rarely in the environment or as bait. When thrown, they behave as normal spears do, dealing a small amount of damage to an enemy. They then give off a few harmless pops, similar to s, before giving off one larger explosion. These are effective at killing most small creatures, and can be used to help take down larger creatures as well - some large creatures may take extra damage from spears or be outright killed from the explosion. If the spear hits an impenetrable surface, such as the head of a Lizard, it will immediately explode without the initial popping explosions.



Cherrybombs are red plants with nut-like growths on them that can be found growing in small patches. When thrown, Cherrybombs will give off several small explosions, much like a firecracker, which will briefly interfere with the player's hearing if they're too close. Although the explosions aren't powerful enough to harm anything, the noise will scare off many predators, including Lizards, and can destroy some things in the shelter if several are ignited. Gunpowder plants are not thrown at full force, so be wary that they will not land that far from the player's location.



Scavengers have been able to refine gunpowder plants into much more potent bombs, and can be seen carrying the small red orbs wherever they are found. The Slugcat may be able to trade for or steal one of these powerful weapons, which explode violently when thrown. The explosion is powerful enough to kill any small creatures caught by a direct hit (including most Lizards) and stun even larger beasts caught in its blast. The blast may also stun the Slugcat and knock the player back a great distance if they are too close when they throw it. Bombs are thrown at full force.



Although these trinkets have no obvious use at first, they are some of the most valuable resources in the game for two purposes. First, they are prized by Scavengers. Scavengers will become much more friendly with the Slugcat if they are given Pearls, will happily trade some valuable resources for Pearls, and will demand a Pearl in order to cross tolls. Secondly, Pearls contain ancient data, and if brought to Looks to the Moon later in the game, will reveal some of the lore of the world. White Pearls are common and contain randomly selected dialogue. Colored Pearls contain the most detailed excerpts of lore, and should generally not be traded to scavengers if it can be avoided. These colored pearls do not respawn and their information and spawn locations are set. Pearls are thrown only a short distance.



Small, orange ferns that can be found in only a few open plains in the game. These unassuming plants will attract nearby Batflies, even if the Slugcat is holding the plant, making them useful for quickly grabbing the otherwise pesky food. Batnip is only thrown a short distance.



A bundle of bubbles on a stalk. They act as oxygen tanks when you're underwater. Each bubble shrivels up one by one as it is consumed.



Tiny, faintly glowing Mushrooms can be found in the dank, underground regions of the world. When eaten, these Mushrooms will slightly increase the Slugcat's physical prowess and slow down your perception of the world for a short time. The Slugcat will run slightly faster and jump slightly farther during this time. Mushrooms are thrown only a short distance.



Curious yellow flowers which tend to grow near the location of the player's last death. They can show up on the map as a circle with an X in it. The symbol will gently pulse red. When consumed, a ring will appear around the player's karma symbol. Upon the player's next death, they will not drop down a karma level, and the ring will instead be removed. While a second karma flower can be eaten while the player is already under the effects of one, this will do nothing, as the effect does not stack. These flowers will not persist cycles in the shelter if picked and stored. Karma flowers are thrown only a short distance.



These artifacts are difficult to acquire, but may well be worth the trouble. They are found on the face of every by default, and may be knocked off with a well-placed spear to the side of the head. When carried, the Slugcat will wear the mask, which will scare away most Lizards. However, the Vulture it was taken from will aggressively pursue the Slugcat for several cycles until it is killed. Vulture masks cannot be thrown. There are two types of Vulture Mask.



Created by scavengers, these small shells give off a strong orange light that can help the Slugcat get through the darkest areas of the world. the Slugcat may need to trade with the Scavengers to obtain one, or may be able to steal one. Lanterns are only thrown a short distance.



These glowing blue fruits are not food, but rather powerful stunning weapons. When thrown, they will briefly give off brilliant flashes of light that will temporarily stun and disorient most nearby creatures. They are found only in a few locations, often near s or s as a defensive tool against those creatures. Flashbang fruits are thrown at full force.



Also known as puffballs, gas apples, or smoke bombs. Found in Farm Arrays, these curious silken blobs will give off a burst of spores when thrown. They are the favored food of, and are needed to get a ride from one. If a rain deer is nearby, dropping a Spore Puff will cause it to approach and then kneel down to eat it, letting you get on its antlers. If no rain deer are nearby, throwing a Spore Puff will cause it to burst open in a cloud of spores, which should attract a Rain Deer to ride. Spore Puffs are thrown at full force, but will not damage or stun on impact. The spore cloud released upon impact can kill many varieties of insect, including, Spiders (s, s, Coalescipedes), and , suggesting the spores inside are some form of pesticide.



Beehives are pinecone-like objects stationed on a strange plant stem which can only be safely picked up if hit with a Spore Puff first, as otherwise they will activate whenever the Slugcat approaches. Throwing or otherwise angering a Beehive will cause insects to come out and swarm the area around the beehive, restraining any creature that comes near with vine-like snares. This can prove quite useful for dealing with predators, but can easily trap the Slugcat if the beehive does not land far enough away. If there are no creatures, the insects will cling onto the ground and walls and will ensnare creatures that try to walk by, but will become inactive a short time later.



Dandelion Peach are dandelion like objects that can be found in high altitude, they can be eaten and emits dandelion seeds coming off it when grabbed and moving.

Glow Weed are stationary plants with light coming off from the bulb like shape, that are attached to seaweed on the bottom and resides in the dark depths most notably found in Submerged Superstructure. Glow weed when eaten only restore half a pip but can be commonly found in groups making up for the lack of nutrients it gives.

Gooieduck are fruits that hangs by 2 or 5 vines to the side suspending it in the air, they can be eaten but Slugcat is required to bite off the hard exterior of the fruit before consuming the soft and nutritious interior.

Seed are seeds from the Popcorn Plant they are only found exclusively in the Saint campaign and need the environment to be windy in order to be unwrapped from the popcorn plant and can be consumed.

Lilypuck can be found above the surface of the water emitting a faint greenish glow, but only found in places where there are ceilings covering it and can be eaten. They are also can be used to be thrown with the velocity of a Spear.

Fire Egg can be seen attached to the body of a Firebug When it is killed or hurt it will drop the egg which can be eaten or be used as a sticky bomb when thrown. The egg will expand before imploding and dealing massive damage to the target.

Electric Spear are commonly used by the Elite Scavenger, when thrown it will deliver a powerful shock that is able to stun creatures for short period of time. The tip has a notably bigger size with storing energy with a blue color. In rare occasions you will find an uncharged electric spear laying around which you can recharge by hitting a Centipede with it.

Flaming Spear is another drop from the Firebug, when thrown and hitting a creature it will deal make damage than the regular Spear and can be thrown by the Saint.

The joke rifle is a weapon that has been added to rainworld downpour but used to be a mod, you can pick and place which ammo to put and it will dispense the object firing it out until reaching the total limit that depends on the object usefulness.

Sigularity Bomb are a single use range weapon when thrown it levitates above the ground then pull every living creature that in its radius and implode soon after dealing incompressible damage instakilling almost every creature that has been caught in the explosion.

Rarefaction Cell is an exclusive object that is key to progression from the Rivulet campaign, when activated adds an antigravity bubble around it that can increase the Slugcat jump height by a huge margin. It can also be used underwater to quickly swim across large bodies of water in a short period of time that a typical slugcat cannot manage to achieve without succumbing to lack of fresh air and drowning.
