Retro-Grade Ammo

Retro-Grade Ammo is a type of ammo in both My Normal Obsession and Unnamed Dungeon that has a chance to downgrade one of its target's stats, displaying indicative messages such as "-Health!" or "-Damage!". It's available in almost every caliber, minus those used by flintlock weapons. It's also unsupported by any weapon that uses Charge, as it causes frequent jamming. In Sacrificial Mode, Retro-Grade ammunition can also increase an enemy's stats and revert all retrograded stats, however decreased stats are more favorable and stack twice.
In My Normal Obsession, Retro-Grade Bullets have altered stats to accommodate for the game's balancing, and are sold by Musket. When selecting the "inquiry" option on them, Musket and Brisket will have the following conversation:
Brisket: "Oh, those...? They're umm... special bullets! They're possessed by a WITCH! Yes, yes... a witch! A VILE witch! The wickedest witch they is!"
Musket: "WHAT!? Cut the slurring, brother! These bullets ain't possessed! They's just old!"
Brisket: "Oh god... SHE POSSESSED YOU TOO!?!?"
*Musket facepalms and sighs.*
Musket: "Mother was right about you bein' special..."
*Brisket gets upset, shouting at Musket.*
Brisket: "SPECIAL!? I ain't special! I'm just smart!"
*Musket rolls his eyes and laughs, turning to the player.*
Musket: "Get a load of this guy... he's tryna act smart to impress his momma."
Brisket: "WHAT!? I am NOT!!"

== Trivia ==
* The title "Retro-Grade" is a play on the word "retrograde", which is defined as "reverting to an earlier and inferior condition".
* This makes even more sense in My Normal Obsession, since Retro-Grade Bullets make 8-bit sounds when fired.
* In My Normal Obsession, Retro-Grade Bullets also reuse sounds from Unnamed Dungeon Crawler.
