Fry Brigade

#Overview

Fry Brigade is the union of Tater Tot Pup and Fry Cook Sentry. Opening a chest when both qualify replaces them with this one weapon and frees a weapon slot (see Evolutions). It combines both ideas: tot pups circle Tibo and shoot, and every few seconds each pup leaves a fry turret on the ground.

There are 5 pups (raw Amount 4 plus Tibo's base +1 projectile, see Stats). Each pup shoots the nearest pest within 170 units every 0.3 s; the shots deal 22 damage, fly at 240 units per second and pass through two pests. Each pup also plants a turret every 5 s that lasts about 6 s and fires every 0.4 s.

#How it works

• Pups. The pups are spaced evenly on an ellipse around Tibo, 18 units out to the sides and 14 above and below, which turns slowly (0.8 rad/s). They follow him as he moves. Each pup has its own shot timer based on the weapon's Cooldown, which cooldown reduction shortens. When no pest is within range, a pup checks again every 0.1 s.
• Turrets. Each pup plants a turret at its own position every 5 s (plant.everySec). The first plants are staggered: with 5 pups, one turret goes down about every second.^[1]
• Turret lifetime. 5 s (plant.lifeSec) times Tibo's Duration multiplier, so 6.25 s with the base +25%. With 5 pups that means about 6 turrets standing at a time.^[2]
• Turret fire. Turrets shoot the nearest pest within 170 units every 0.4 s (the weapon's Interval), which cooldown reduction does not change. Turret shots use the same damage, speed and pierce as the pups' but disappear after 1.2 s.^[3]

Measured in the headless sim (tools/play.mjs, build 41 main-B2gf34bA.js, Standard, Normal, god mode, seeds s1, s2 and s3; the seeded starting weapon removed, the weapon given with give, spawning stopped after 4 s of play and the pests already on the field held at fixed spots with 10⁹ HP; Tibo standing still, facing right, with 8 pests in a line 20 to 90 units to his right): 5 pups existed; after the first pup's turret, a turret was planted about every 1 s, each lasting 375 ticks (6.25 s); in the line of 8 pests only the 3 nearest were hit (pierce 2). All three seeds gave the same figures.

#Tips

• Turrets stay where they were planted, so moving around a lot spreads them over a wide area, while staying near one spot stacks them.
• The union frees a slot, but you need both partner weapons at level 8 (or one evolved) first; see Evolutions for the exact rule.

#Stats

Values are the raw numbers from the game's definitions, before Tibo's global stat multipliers, difficulty and time scaling. In play, Tibo's base stats add +1 amount to every weapon except aura, cone, nuke and ring weapons, and make every duration ×1.25 (see Stats). Field names in code are the game's internal names. Attack descriptions such as “Melee slash” are this wiki's summary of the internal attack kind.

Unions have no level-ups in the game data; they use these fixed raw values.

#Obtaining

• Own Fry Cook Sentry and Tater Tot Pup (each max-level or evolved, at least one a level-8 base weapon), then open a chest. The union replaces both weapons and frees a slot. See Evolutions.
