Shoop da Whoop! is an activated item.

Effects[ | ]

  • When used, the next shot will fire a large, Collectible Brimstone iconBrimstone-like laser in the direction Isaac shoots that deals double Isaac's tear damage. If Isaac is already shooting, the item immediately activates in that direction.
    • (except in Repentance) The laser hits up to 13 times.
    • (in Repentance) The laser hits up to 12 times.
    • (in Afterbirth † and Repentance) Status effects can be applied by the laser.

Notes[ | ]

  • Despite the laser looking very similar to Brimstone, it doesn't share most of the Brimstone-specific interactions.
  • This item can drop from EnvyEnvy.
  • Can still be used while blindfolded.
  • This item synergizes extremely well with items that significantly increase damage, such as Collectible Polyphemus iconPolyphemus and Collectible Ipecac iconIpecac.

Synergies[ | ]

  • (in Repentance)Collectible 4.5 Volt icon4.5 Volt: Allows the item to be charged and used multiple times in a room, which can help with dealing extra damage in enduring fights like most endgame bosses.
  • Collectible 9 Volt icon9 Volt: Can be used once every room, and more frequently in Challenge RoomChallenge Rooms.
  • (in Repentance)Collectible Book of Virtues iconBook of Virtues: Spawns white wisps in the outer ring that resemble Shoop da Whoop!. The wisps will not fire tears, but will each fire a thin Shoop da Whoop! laser whenever Isaac uses it (including the wisp that was just summoned). The lasers deal 7 damage per tick (BUG: 3.5 if Isaac has Collectible BFFS! iconBFFS!), and can hit up to 10 times for a total of 70 damage.
  • Broken RemoteBroken Remote: Since item charges aren't expended until Isaac chooses a direction to shoot, the player can teleport across the floor indefinitely.
  • (in Repentance)Collectible Hemoptysis iconHemoptysis: Enemies hit by the sneeze will gain a curse that increases the power of the laser by 2× and +3 flat damage, on top of the 2× base damage already applied by Shoop da Whoop. Enemies who die to the laser under the curse will damage and spread the curse to nearby enemies.

Trivia[ | ]

  • Shoop da Whoop! is a reference to an internet meme depicting an edited face of Cell from the anime Dragon Ball Z firing a laser from its mouth. This meme is usually accompanied by the quote "I'm-a firin' mah lazar!", followed by "BLLLARRRRGGG!", which is where the item's tooltip comes from.

Bugs[ | ]

Bug Bug! Using the item at the same time that you touch a large Golden Chest (dropped by final bosses such as The Lamb and ???) will freeze Isaac, and the ending won't appear. Leaving and re-entering the run will fix the bug.
