Technology 2

For all Tech items, check Tech (disambiguation)

**Technology 2** is a passive item.

## Effects

* Replaces Isaac's right eye tears with an unlimited range piercing laser which fires continuously, dealing damage 15 times per second.
* x0.65 Damage multiplier.
* The laser deals 20% of Isaac's damage per tick.
	+ This compounds with the damage down for a total of 13% of Isaac's damage per tick.
* Only the laser deals 13% of Isaac's damage per tick.
* Tears fired per second \* (2/3).
* Laser is able to knock back enemies.

## Notes

* Tear delay is effectively doubled, as Isaac will do a bit of the animation to fire a right eye tear, but no tear will come out.
	+ This applies to items that replace Isaac's tears, such as  and .
* Charged shots are not affected by the effective tear delay down, as they don't use the alternative left eye/right eye fire scheme.
* As  Cain can only fire tears from his right eye, Technology 2 will replace his tears altogether unless he has  or a charged attack.
	+ When used by Cain, or a character that is forced to fire from one eye due to the effects of  or , they will fire  lasers out of their right eye instead of their normal tears, as long as they have no other items that replace their tears ( lets them fire tears normally). These lasers cannot be angled with momentum.
* Because  Lilith is blindfolded and relies on her , the only effect gained from Technology 2 is the damage down.
	+ Incubus can fire laser and tears as normal; stat effects apply.
* The blood clots spawned by  Tainted Eve will all also fire their own individual lasers.
* The laser can apply status effects very efficiently due to its high tick rate.

## Synergies

* /  / : The laser will consistently push back enemies.
* / : Since Isaac's right eye is replaced by Technology 2, he can only fire tears from his left eye, which gives all his tears higher damage and range.
* : Laser fires continuously while Brimstone charges at normal rate.
* : The laser fires while Chocolate Milk charges at normal rate.
* / : The laser will rapidly split into small low damage tears upon impact with an enemy or obstacle.
* : The laser fires while Cursed Eye charges at normal rate, retaining the teleporting effect.
	+ Tears are replaced with lasers, fired from the same eye of Technology 2.
* : The laser fires while the missiles are being aimed.
* /  /  /  / : Every damage tick from the laser can also apply these tear effects and does so rapidly.
	+ ’s 60 point explosion damage bonus is unaffected by the laser’s reduced damage making the combination incredibly effective.
* /  /  / : The familiars fire a continuous laser.
* : Laser damage increases dramatically while also gaining the poison effect.
* : The laser has its range shortened but rapidly creates and feeds Lachryphagy tears.
* : Replaces tears with lasers similar to . These are shot from the eye that shoots Technology 2, doing damage alongside the Technology 2 beam.
* : The laser destroys all hostile projectiles that come into contact with it.
* : Isaac simultaneously controls a tear and fires the laser; however, Isaac will only fire the Technology 2 laser in the direction that the tear is currently facing.
	+ The Ludovico Technique also makes the laser spectral.
* : Damage increases the further away the enemy is, on a multiplier that is roughly +20% per tile of distance.
* : Isaac simultaneously controls a big red target on the ground and fires the laser in the cardinal directions.
	+ The laser now continuously fires towards the crosshair along with tears.
* : The laser fires while the Knife charges at normal rate.
* : The laser fires while Monstro's Lung charges at normal rate. No reduction in tear burst size.
* : Laser bounces off of walls.
* : Equips two lasers that can be fired at the same time. As Technology is always fired from the right eye, it is not affected by the halved normal attack rate.
	+ Technology is affected by the fire rate multiplier. Holding ,  or playing as  Cain will allow Isaac to angle shots with momentum again.
* : The laser spirals around Isaac once and then goes straight again.
* : Tears are fired diagonally while the laser is fired straight forward.
* : Isaac can still fire the laser as normal while using the urn.

## Interactions

* Azazel: The Technology 2 continuously fires its lesser damage laser as Azazel charges his Brimstone.
* : Overrides Technology 2, but retains the reduced damage.
* /  /  /  / : The laser is unaffected.
* / : The laser is unaffected.
* / : The laser is unaffected.
* : Only affects the laser's color.
	+ **Eye of the Occult** +  / : The Tech 2 laser also automatically fires at the crosshair.
* : Tears still ignite enemies, but no longer have a chance to explode.
* : Decreases damage of Incubus' tears; Incubus does not fire a continuous laser.
* : Isaac loses the ability to fire tears from the remaining eye, identical to Cain's downside.
* : Occasionally shoots a laser behind Isaac. With 15+ Luck, fires a new laser on every tick, dealing extremely high damage.
* : Laser is bent in the opposite direction as Isaac moves sideways, then gradually becomes straight as he stands still.
	+ The laser makes a thin loop in front of Isaac, and fires the normal laser backwards.
* : The laser has drastically reduced range, and eyeball tears are rapidly created at the end of the laser.
* : Both damage reductions are applied, along with removing one eye's worth of tears.
* : No effect.
* : Multiple copies of the item provide no benefit.
