Item

Metal Detector is an in-game item that can be bought from a Shop or can be found in a Crate. Most Items modify the Stats of the player, and some of them provide additional effects.


Notes

Metal detector gives an additive 5% per item chance for any Materials you pick up to have double the value. You gain both double the Money and double Experience.

  • Buccaneer.png Buccaneer's double materials ability gives 4x materials when Metal Detector triggers.
  • Double value materials from bagged materials dropped at the beginning of a wave gives 4x the value when metal detector triggers. This means you gain same amount of materials on average if you let your materials get bagged or not. See the Materials page for details on bagged materials.
  • It also doubles any other materials that for any reason have their value increased. For example if more than 50 materials are on the ground. Again, see the materials page for details.
  • It is a very powerful item for Endless Mode, where the ability to gain additional materials is highly valued.
