Brotato Metal Detector

Metal Detector boosts your income while also giving Luck and Engineering, both of which Apprentice scales well with. The small damage penalty is easily offset by his free stats per level.

Provides both luck and a chance to double materials, which helps compensate for -50% enemy drops and further boosts the value of the materials you do pick up.

Loud’s Harvesting decays, so Metal Detector gives an alternative economy engine with doubled materials and extra luck, helping you afford more rerolls and high-tier items despite the passive penalty.

Metal Detector directly amplifies Buccaneer’s double-value passive by adding a chance to double picked-up materials again. The added Luck and Engineering support both economy and damage scaling, making it a premium economy and utility item.

Metal Detector doubles down on Curious’s loot-centric identity by increasing material value and adding Luck, improving crate and drop quality. The minor damage loss is acceptable, especially early on, given how much faster it ramps your economy.

Metal Detector boosts both economy and Engineering while only reducing generic Damage, which Engineer already devalues, making it an efficient power spike.

Metal Detector boosts both Engineering and material gain from pickups, exactly what Explorer needs to scale structures and fix his weak economy at the cost of some already-low damage.

Metal Detector helps mitigate -50% materials dropped by occasionally doubling pickups and adding luck. With many enemies on screen from Bait and Curse, the extra value per pickup adds up quickly across long Endless runs.
