Anti-Gravity is a passive item.

Effects

• Holding the fire buttons causes tears to hover in midair. When released, the tears will all shoot in the direction they were originally fired.
  • If the fire buttons are not released, the tears will fire on their own after 3 seconds.
• -2 tear delay (increased rate of fire)
  • Since this directly affects tear delay instead of changing the tears stat, it allows Isaac's rate of fire to go over the normal maximum rate.
  • Tear delay decreases are more noticeable and are a greater increase to DPS when the tears stat is high.
• +1.0 fire rate.

Notes

• Gravitational effects, such as Mega Fatty's inhalation or a Gaping Maw will pull floating tears toward them.
• The range attribute only affects the lifespan of the tears after they have been released.
• Hovering tears can damage monsters like Knights or Mask of Infamy from the front, even if they don't have the piercing effect.

Synergies

• C Section: Fetuses stand in place while the fire button is held. They will still home on enemies in this state. Fetuses attacking this way deal more damage.

• The Forgotten: Each swing of his club creates an additional hitbox in front of him that lasts for about a second before proceeding forward and disappearing. The club throw is unaffected.
• Lachryphagy: Tears will float in midair, making them easier to feed. Burst tears will also float in midair before moving.
• Proptosis: The tears will not decrease in size or damage until they start moving, making this excellent against enemies that chase Isaac.
• Tainted Magdalene hug swipes float, allowing for extra hits as the swipe remain mid-air
• Tech.5: Creates floating laser balls that will all fire simultaneously when the fire button is released.
• Technology Zero: All of the tears fired are connected by electricity, creating a series of electric fences.
• Tiny Planet: Tears stay in place until released, they will start to orbit around Isaac when released.
  • Tears orbit close to Isaac when held, then snap to the edge of the orbit when released.

Interactions

• Azazel / Brimstone: A red mist expands and then contracts, doing contact damage to any enemy that touches it. It then fires the original Brimstone shot before disappearing. It allows a new shot to be charged up immediately after firing without interrupting the first shot. It does not increase the range of Azazel's Brimstone beam.
  • Brimstone + Conjoined: Fires a single laser instead of a triple laser.
  • Brimstone + Soy Milk: Brimstone continues firing from the position it was fired.
• Bob's Rotten Head: Continues to hover in the air while the fire button is pressed after launching it.
• Chocolate Milk: Overrides Anti-Gravity.
  • Chocolate Milk + Soy Milk: Tears are released immediately, despite not charging.
• Compound Fracture / Cricket's Body / Haemolacria / The Parasite: Burst tears will not hover even if a fire button is held.
• Cursed Eye / Dr. Fetus / Epic Fetus / Eye of the Occult / The Ludovico Technique / Marked / Mom's Knife / Monstro's Lung / Tech X: Only tear up applies.
• Diplopia: No effect; -2 tears delay does not stack.
• Euthanasia: If a needle tear destroys an enemy and the fire button is held, the burst needles will hover until the button is released.
• Kidney Stone: When the Kidney Stone effect is activated, the tear barrage will hover until released. The stone will not hover and will travel regardless.
  •  : (Not recommended) The anti-gravity effect stays in place for the whole duration of the tear barrage even if the fire button isn't held resulting in a complete loss of control of fire for as long as the barrage is active.
• A Lump of Coal: Despite the visual increase in size, damage still only increases based on the distance traveled.
  • Tears no longer increase in size while hovering.
• Multidimensional Baby: Multidimensional Baby will travel the same path as the Anti-Gravity tears, easily doubling any stationary shots. Any moving tears that hit it will produce a normal moving copy, however stationary tears will spawn a copy that will eventually fall to the ground even after the direction is released.
  • Stationary duplicated tears will release normally.
• My Reflection: Combines both effects. Tears no longer hover in place; instead, they will weakly home in on Isaac like he is a pivot point, following as he moves. Releasing the attack buttons will launch the tears from their position as usual.
• Notched Axe: Melee attacks will generate a hovering tear in the shape of the swing of the pickaxe.
• Technology: Only tear delay down applies.
  • Creates floating laser balls that will all fire simultaneously when the fire button is released.

Trivia

• Isaac's appearance bears a strong resemblance to the character Dr. Manhattan of the graphic novel Watchmen.
• After picking up Anti-Gravity, whenever Isaac picks up an item that alters the appearance of his face, his head becomes the same color as ???'s.
• This item is used in Waka Waka (challenge #17).
