BucketsPreview

Buckets is a very enigmatic man, with a red coat, brown long sleeve shirt, red wristbands, and a paint can over his head with one eye hole. He seems to have very high skills with pistols and a history with gambling.



How to invite to party[]

BradBucketsFall

Buckets can be found above the Roulette Building. You will firstly find him around Area 2 after you are forced to play 3 rounds of Roulette.

To get back there, head west from Area 2 and jump down the cliff to the left. You will take no fall damage. Once in the cave, head up, go west, and you will be back at the Roulette Building.


Buckets can be seen on the building. Inside the Roulette Building, Brad can pay 50 mags to take part in Russian Roulette. Each victory will multiply the gains from the Roulette, resulting in 600 mags and the Sunsetter, one of the most useful guns in the game, on the tenth win.

BradBucketsBridge

After the tenth win, Buckets will appear on the bridge to the right of the building and will force himself into Brad's party.


Battle[]

Buckets is the only party member to have two weapon slots and uses two guns to fight. He is capable of dealing devastating amounts of damage. Bullet Tap is a very powerful multi-hit skill that he has by default, and Heads of Tails can also deal massive damage.

Buckets has low health and a weak stun move, but his main drawback is that he suffers from Joy withdrawal occasionally, which greatly hinders his attack power. Additionally, if Buckets does take Joy, it doesn't actually seem to affect his damage output, instead just bringing his attack power back to normal.

Tips[]

  • To recruit Buckets without losing any party members, use the "Save Scum" method by resetting your game when the companion you gamble dies. This cannot be done in Pain Mode. However, if you properly manage your Save Crows throughout Pain Mode, you can simply try to win two or more rounds and go to an unused Save Crow. Do that four more times and you'll get Buckets safely with your party members alive.

Trivia[]

  • Buckets has his own Roulette sprite, but it's impossible to see in-game, because you cannot play the roulette after killing all opponents. Though its most likely either a failsafe incase buckets was obtained early or there's an original method of hiring Buckets.
  • Austin claims that Bucket's sprites were the hardest to draw [1]
  • Buckets has what appears to be two scars on each arm.
  • Buckets is rarely used, much like Buffalo or Crisp, due to people not wanting to partake in Russian Roulette past the forced interaction.
    • According to the game's global steam achievements, Buckets is the least recruited party member, as only 8.5% of players have his achievement.
  • The fact that Buckets does not actually gain any attack from using Joy is likely for gameplay reasons since Buckets already bears phenomenal attack. If Joy boosted that further, he would likely be able to put out enough damage to either kill most bosses in one shot or trivialize the encounters in general.
  • Heads or Tails actually has a 70/30 chance of success, despite what the description says.
