Fish

## B-Skin

Unlocked by looping with gamemode "Fish's Partner Only No Weapons"

## C-Skin

Unlocked by looping with every character

*Fish is a versatile mutant that uses his high mobility and ammo income to outrun and outgun enemies. Because of his ability to dodge enemy fire or quickly hide behind cover and his significantly increased ammo income, Fish can be recommended for beginners.*

## Features

Fish gets more ammo from stationary Ammo Chests, mini pickups and from walking over weapons. Each Mini Ammo Chest gives him 40 bullets, 10 shells, 9 bolts, 8 explosives or 13 energy.(Instead of 32 bullets, 8 shells, 7 bolts, 6 explosives or 10 energy.)

Because of that, Fish will receive more ammo from the Lucky Shot mutation.

He also starts with 120 bullets instead of 96. If he has a Golden Weapon, he will start off with more ammo for it.

## Special

Fish dodge rolls in the direction you're moving (or if stationary, toward the cursor) and can shoot while doing so. For the first 5 frames while rolling, Fish is invulnerable.

## Throne Butt

A water boost propels Fish on his roll for as long as the active button is held down, and his roll invulnerability is increased from 5 frames to 8.

While water boosting, enemies will be slowly pushed away from you. This can help keep some distance when enemies are trying to close in.

You can change the directions while rolling using the movement keys, but he still bounces off walls. This makes Fish highly evasive though not invincible; take care of where you send him rolling.

Fish gets even more ammo from ammo pickups and chests.

## Ultra Mutations

They can also drop regular Weapon Chests instead of weapons. Not opening the Weapon Chests counts towards a Large Weapon Chest spawn. If you have a Crown, enemies can rarely drop a Cursed Chest.
Killing a boss gives another 7 seconds of infinite ammo.
While this is active, an infinity symbol is displayed.
While reloading your weapon, the partner will return to you.
Partner can block enemy projectiles and can actively try to intercept them.
Does not cost ammo or rads.
Much more effective while rolling.

## Gameplay

While Fish can be a great starting character for the ammo bonus, his roll takes time to master. Note that the roll does not stop when hitting walls and instead bounces outward but the distance is short and it can be used rapidly. The roll is mostly used to dodge enemy projectiles and grab distant pickups before they disappear or just to move faster and hide behind cover. Be careful when using the roll to dodge projectiles, however, as you can roll into more bullets.

## Tips

### Useful Mutations

* Hammerhead - Makes rolling into walls less dangerous. Fish will no longer bump back while hitting a wall, but it is limited by the mutation.
* Gamma Guts - Much like Plant, Fish has the ability to move very quickly so you can use this to your advantage by rolling into enemies when you are low on ammo or don't want to waste any.
* Throne Butt - It's good to have a long roll so you may roll towards enemies since they are less likely to shoot you while you are near them. It also makes Fish one of the fastest characters in the game, especially in combination with Extra Feet.
* Back Muscle - Since Fish gets more ammo from pickups, it's easier for him to use ammo intensive weapons and keep a high ammo capacity with this mutation.
* Lucky Shot - Thanks to his passive, Lucky Shot will give him more ammo than to other characters.
* Trigger Fingers - With Gun Warrant and a powerful area-of-effect weapon, you can kill a significant percentage of enemies from the start.
* Extra Feet - Your default roll becomes much quicker and with Throne Butt makes you incredibly fast.

### Unlocking B-Skin

Any character can unlock Fish's B-skin as long as it's in the correct game mode. Choose whichever character you're most comfortable with, or choose a higher survivability character like Crystal or Viking (free hit per level).

### Unlocking C-Skin

Looping with every character can be a tough task, but persistence is key. Don't be afraid to use gamemodes to your advantage. Casual Mode and Claustrophobia can make looping with any character much easier.
