Sock Pile

#Overview

The Sock Pile is the only tier-2 pest of the Coin Laundromat landmark. Tier 2 is in the wave table from the start until minute 9, which with Normal's two-minute tier lag means up to about 11:59.

It walks straight at Tibo at speed 30, with 24 HP and 6 contact damage. When killed it bursts into three Lint Bunnies. The pile gives 2 XP and each bunny gives its normal 1 XP, so a Sock Pile is worth 5 XP in total. Each of the four can also drop gold: 6% for the pile, 5% for each bunny, and the Laundromat's coins are worth ×1.4.

#How it works

On death the pile spawns three Lint Bunnies in a ring around the spot, pushed outward. Unlike a Snow Mold, which splits into weaker copies of itself, a splitter with a named child spawns full Lint Bunnies. The bunnies take over the pile's HP, damage and speed scaling, applied to the Lint Bunny's own base stats (8 HP, 3 damage).^[1]

An elite Sock Pile (tier 2 is the elite tier from 1:00 to 4:59) releases ordinary Lint Bunnies, not elite ones. No bunnies are made once the enemy hard cap (550 on Easy/Normal, 700 on Hard, 850 on Nightmare) is reached. The XP figures above are before the late-run XP step.

Measured (headless tools/play.mjs, build main-B2gf34bA, standard mode, Normal, --god, seeds wiki and s2; Tibo teleported into the first Coin Laundromat found at 0:58 and left standing for 150 s): every Sock Pile that died released three Lint Bunnies. Each new pest was matched to the nearest death on the same tick, within 30 units. Each bunny had a third of the pile's max HP (16.18 → 5.39, the ratio of their base HP, 8 to 24), radius 4 and 1 XP. Over 400 bunnies died across the two runs, and none of them spawned anything. The 1:00 and 3:00 elites were Sock Piles (195 and 253.5 HP), and each released three ordinary bunnies of about 5.5 and 6.2 HP.

#Tips

• Each pile turns into three more pests, so killing piles at a distance gives the bunnies time to be caught by area weapons before they reach Tibo.
