Technology Zero is an unlockable passive item added in The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth † (Booster Pack #2).

Effects

• Connects tears with electricity that damages enemies.
  • The electricity's damage is equal to Isaac's Damage.
    • The electricity deals 30% of Isaac's Damage, 15 times per second.
  • A tear can generate one connection. The tear does not generate another connection even after the connection is lost. However, other tears can still make connections with it.
  • Each of Isaac's tears can connect to other allied tears Including those of shooting familiars.
    • The number of connections is limited by the number of Isaac's tears.

Notes

• It will connect Jacob and Esau's tears regardless of which one picked up the item.

Synergies

• Anti-Gravity: All of the tears fired are connected by electricity, creating a series of electric fences.
• Apple! / Tough Love: The damage of the electricity can be multiplied by the items. This occurs independently from the tears which generated the electricity.
• Cricket's Body / Compound Fracture / The Parasite: Split tears will be connected via electricity.
• Evil Eye: Tears fired by eye will be connected via electricity to Isaac's tears.
• Eye of the Occult: Allows you to move the electrified tears, allowing you to hit more enemies and do more damage.
• Haemolacria: Main tears and bursts can be connected via electricity.
• Pop!: Tears in midair and tears that knock around each other will still be connected, effectively creating electric barriers.
• Proptosis: Triples the electricity damage. Has no penalty with range.
• Sinus Infection: Boogers will have electricity flowing between them even if attached to the same enemy, dealing massive damage to bosses.
• Sulfuric Acid / Terra: The lasers are capable of destroying terrain, but is unable to apply knockback, allowing to easily destroy large quantities of obstacles.
• Tiny Planet: Creates moving laser fields that orbit the character.
• The Wiz: The diagonally-spreading tear shots will be connected by electricity, effectively making up for the item's blind spot and providing an attack with a very wide range.

Interactions

• The following items override Technology Zero. Tears from other sources such as Lead Pencil can still generate electricity with each other.
  • Brimstone
  • Dr. Fetus
  • Epic Fetus
  • Mom's Knife
  • Technology
  • Tech X
  • Trisagion: Tears from other sources can be connected with the base of Trisagion's blast.
• Continuum: Tears will travel through walls; however, the electricity will not connect the tears while they are outside the room. If a tear was connected before it pass through a wall, it will not be connected after passing through, limiting the efficiency of the combination.
• Flat Stone: Tears lose their connection as they bounce. As such, tears cannot make connection to another tear once they bounce, but other tears can make connection to them.
• Haemolacria: Only main tears can be connected.

Trivia

• Technology Zero is based on this Steam Workshop item by Ashkait and Scayze.
• Strangely, this item has the tech item tag, and therefore contributes toward its own unlock, though this should be impossible under normal circumstances.
