Glitter Bombs is a passive item added in The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth.

Effects

• Grants 5 Bombs.
• Isaac's bombs have a 25% chance to spawn a pickup or trinket when they explode including other bombs.
  • Isaac's bombs have a 63% chance to spawn a pickup or trinket when they explode, but the chance for either to generate decreases by 1% for each spawn until Isaac enters a new floor. This is to prevent items such as Dr. Fetus or a Golden Bomb from providing unlimited resources. This means that the maximum spawns per floor is 63, although the final generation of a pickup or trinket will have a 1% chance to occur.
• Isaac's bombs have a 15% chance to charm random enemies in the room when they explode.

Notes

• Picking up a Golden Bomb, Dr. Fetus, Epic Fetus, or Number Two with Glitter Bombs allows infinite pickup generation.
  • In Greed Mode, Glitter Bombs cannot generate coins. Infinite pickup generation that isn't coins is still possible, however, so this can be worked around if Isaac has the Swallowed Penny or Piggy Bank, since it does still produce health.

Synergies

• Anarchist Cookbook/Curse of the Tower/XVI - The Tower: Each Troll Bomb has a chance to spawn a pickup or trinket including a Lil' Battery or Heart which can be taken advantage of for repeated uses of Anarchist Cookbook or Curse of the Tower respectively.
• Best Friend/Bob's Rotten Head/Mr. Boom/BBF/Bob's Brain/Kamikaze!: Has a chance to spawn a pickup or trinket when exploding.
• Bomber Boy: Each additional explosion created has a chance to spawn a pickup or trinket.
• Doctor's Remote/Epic Fetus: Missiles have a chance of spawning a pickup or trinket upon exploding.
• Dr. Fetus: Bombs have a chance of spawning pickups or trinkets upon exploding.
• Everything Jar: At eleven charges guarantees a golden bomb.
• Number Two: The butt bombs have a chance of spawning pickups or trinkets upon exploding.
• Red Locusts: Red locust explosions have a chance to spawn a pickup or trinket.
• Scatter Bombs: Each smaller bomb also has a chance of dropping a pickup or trinket.
• Swallowed M80: Swallowed M80 explosions have a chance of spawning pickups or trinkets.

Interactions

• Bomber Boy: Extra explosions are unaffected by Glitter Bombs.
• Hot Bombs: Removes contact damage from bombs due to overriding the flaming bomb graphics.
• Ipecac: No effect on shots.
• Red Locusts: No effect on red locust explosions.

Trivia
