Lost Contact is a passive item.

Effects

• Gives Isaac's tears a shield surrounding them, allowing the player to block enemy shots.
  • Isaac's shots are destroyed upon contact with an enemy's shot.
  • Affects familiar's tears.
• -0.16 shot speed.

Synergies

• Anti-Gravity: Placing many tears around Isaac creates a safe zone, especially with larger tears.
• Brimstone/ Technology/ Technology 2: Beam/laser destroys projectiles, although only during its damage tick interval. The projectiles are not instantly destroyed when they touch the beam/laser.
• Compound Fracture/ Cricket's Body/ The Parasite: Split tears will be shielded. The Parasite's split tears will not appear to have shields.
• Eye of Belial: Piercing through a projectile will trigger Eye of Belial's double damage and homing effect. Belial tears will still block shots.
• The Forgotten: Enemy shots may be reflected with melee attacks. The damage of the reflected shots depends on their size, with standard enemy shots dealing 3.5 points.
• The Ludovico Technique: Can block an infinite amount of enemy shots if the tear is placed on top of a monster. The projectiles that they attempt to shoot will be immediately destroyed.
• Mom's Knife: The knife will destroy projectiles in its path without being affected.
• Piercing tears: The tears can pass through multiple enemy projectiles. This means that one tear can hurt the enemy and block its projectiles.
• Polyphemus: Enemy shots are treated like enemies with 10 health, which are deducted from the Polyphemus tear. If it has strength remaining afterward, it will continue.
• Sinus Infection/ Mucormycosis: Tears that stick to enemies will block shots, and will not be destroyed in the process.
• Soy Milk: The constant stream of tears will cut through any complex attack patterns with ease.
• Tech X: The rings block enemy shots.
• Trisagion: Beams will block shots and continue on.
• Jacob's Ladder: Destroyed tears via shot-blocking will trigger the electric arc effect.
