Bygone Arm is an active item added in The Burned Out Update.

Effects

• On use, swings an arm club in the direction Isaac is firing.
  • If Isaac is not firing, it will instead swing in the direction he is moving.
• Enemy projectiles hit by Bygone Arm will be parried and launched back at enemies.
  • Parried projectiles deal 5x Isaac's damage and explode when landing.
  • With tighter timing, Isaac's own tears can be parried to launch them at high speeds, however this will only double their damage.
    • This can be especially effective with items that fire volleys of tears such as Monstro's Lung.
• Enemies struck directly by the Bygone Arm will be pushed away and take 2.5x Isaac's damage.

Interactions

• Spoils Pouch / Coinflip: Spoils Coins can be clubbed into enemies to deal 5x Isaac's damage.
• The Forgotten / Mom's Knife: Thrown Clubs/Knives can be clubbed while returning to Isaac to launch them back out at full speed and with a 2x damage multiplier.
  • The Forgotten / Mom's Knife + 9 Volt: Bygone Arm now recharges fast enough to allow thrown Clubs/Knives to be juggled indefinitely, stacking more and more damage.
• Schoolbag: If Bygone Arm is in a secondary active item slot, and Isaac's pocket slots are empty, Bygone Arm can be activated by pressing Q, or whatever button is bound for activating items in the pocket slot.

Trivia

• Bygone Arm is a reference to the Feedbacker arm from ULTRAKILL.
  • In ULTRAKILL, the Feedbacker is the only arm capable of parrying, and one of the things that can be parried is V1's own Shotgun Pellets.
    • This is called Projectile Boosting and was the inspiration for being able to parry Isaac's tears.
• The name "Bygone Arm" is a reference to the Bygone boss from The Legend of Bum-Bo
