== Unlocking ==
In order to unlock this weapon, the player must first find its Blueprint and then use the Design Table to develop it. Once done, it can be forged or found during a run.
* Developing this weapon requires its Blueprint and 800 Gems.
== Usage ==
This weapon works like a Boomerang, such that it can be thrown to some distance, penetrate enemies, and return to hand. It can go up to a range of 9 tiles from the point where it is thrown. The projectile also destroys enemy projectiles upon contact.
It also takes 2 seconds to load a new one in hand.
== Tips ==
=== Strategies ===
This weapon can destroy bullets in a long range, making it useful both at attack and defense. It is primarily meant to be used as a secondary; its effectiveness relies on melee switching. However, it can be used as a main weapon, given its faculty to clear a safe path in its direction, and the fact that its damage is good enough to be efficient in room clears and against bosses.
It is still recommended to proceed with caution, as its viability may drop out as a main in late-game. It is therefore better to prioritize using it as an useful secondary weapon to have a good backup.
=== Recommended Buffs ===
* Reflect Buff - The disc can also reflect enemies bullets when thrown.
* Accuracy Buff - Removes inaccuracy and increases critical chance by 2.
* Shotgun Buff - Increases the maximum projectile capacity by 2.
* Charge Buff - Increases reload rate.
* Pierce Buff - Causes critical damage to remain static after dealing a critical hit.

Version 	1.8.2	1.9.0	3.2.0	3.2.2

== Trivia ==
* Before Update 1.8.4 there was a bug in which this weapon, and other Developed Weapons couldn't be forged at the Workshop even if developed.

* Since Update 2.4.0, this weapon can benefit from the Shotgun Buff.
* This weapon appears to be a reference to Captain America's shield from the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
