Weapon Key

The **Weapon Key** is the item that is needed to unlock the Weapon Safe, allowing you to obtain the Slingshot.

## Appearance

The **Weapon Key** has a tan wooden handle, in the shape of a cylinder. The blade has triangular teeth, and sticks out of the top of the cylinder.

## Usage

The **Weapon Key** can be used to unlock the Weapon Safe. Once you insert it, you must interact with it again to open the cabinet. From there, you will be able to grab the Slingshot.

## Trivia

* The **Weapon Key** used to have very different spawning locations in previous versions.
	+ Preset 1: In the Coconut (changed in Version 1.1).
	+ Preset 2: In the Coconut (changed in Version 1.1).
	+ Preset 3: In the Bird's Nest (changed in Version 1.1).
	+ Preset 4: In the Coconut (changed in Version 1.1).
	+ Preset 5: In the Coconut (changed in Version 1.1).
	+ Preset 6: Dropped by Slendrina (changed in Version 1.1).
* It used to spawn in the Coconut four times (making it the item most prominent in the Coconut, as well as the only item to spawn in the same location on four separate occasions), be dropped by Slendrina once, and spawn in the Bird's Nest, making it the only key to not be out in the open atleast once, prior to Version 1.1.
	+ It ironically now always spawns out in the open.
		- This does not apply if Hard Mode or Extreme Mode are picked, as the **Weapon Key** is behind the boards that block access to the Shop Backroom.
	+ The Coin and Padlock Key took all of its original locations.
* If you put the game on Hard Mode with Granny only on Preset 2, you can softlock the game because you need the Crowbar to access the **Weapon Key**, but you need the Slingshot or Shotgun to get the Crowbar, neither of which are accessible due to Grandpa, and by extension, the Shotgun, not being present, and the **Weapon Key** being needed to get the Slingshot.
	+ This is the first unbeatable item paradox in a Granny game.
	+ You can skip this by getting Granny to break the boards, however. Simply throw an item into the Shop Backroom and hope Granny walks in.
* It is one of the only items to appear through the entire trilogy.
	+ Others being the Safe Key, Padlock Key, Shotgun, and Shotgun Ammo.
