Tailgate Party

#Overview

Tailgate Party is the evolution of Tailgate Fries, made by opening a chest with Tailgate Fries at level 8 and Butter Pat owned. It fires the same backwards volleys, but each fry deals 47.6 damage instead of 28 and passes through two pests instead of one.

Every 0.6 s, a moving Tibo sprays 6 fries (raw Amount 5 plus his base +1 projectile) behind him, 0.06 s apart, in a cone about 60° wide. Each fry flies at 200 units per second for about 1 s. A Tibo standing still when the cooldown comes up drips a single fry at 35% speed instead.

#How it works

The volley rules are the same as Tailgate Fries. Whether a volley is a full spray or a drip is decided when it starts: if Tibo is still at that moment, only one fry is fired.^[1]

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 walking right for 8 s past 12 pests held at fixed points on his path): it fired 6 fries 0.06 s apart every 0.6 s, each spawned with a 1 s lifetime, for 47.6. All three seeds gave the same figures.

#Tips

• Pierce 2 means each fry can hit three pests in a line, which suits the tight queue of pests that forms behind a running Tibo.
• Butter Pat stays in your passives after the evolution, and its damage bonus keeps applying to every fry.

#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.

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

#Behaviour parameters

Raw parameters of the attack (behavior), copied from the game definition. What they do in play is explained under How it works above.

#Obtaining

• Get Tailgate Fries to level 8 while owning Butter Pat (any level), then open a chest. See Evolutions.
