error
"Hey, this shouldn't be here!"
error is an Item that randomizes the weapon in the player's secondary weapon slot every three seconds. If the player is playing as Luis or has the Holster item, it does not affect the item in their third slot. The randomized slot will always maintain the ammo count of the weapon originally picked up, meaning some weapons can have much higher or lower ammo counts than normal. The weapon pool for characters other than Cordelia will not include Staff weapons even if the player has Sorcery for Dummies.
Strategy
error is a hail mary of an item. If the randomization is favorable, it can dish out high damage and allow you to use certain weapons more freely with higher ammo counts. However, without control over your weapon's identity, it is highly possible to receive a poor weapons for any situation, and few weapons can be used effectively in just three seconds unless the player has upgrades to damage and firing speed.
Because scrapping weapons gives the player Money based on the weapon's current ammo count relative to its max ammo count, this item can be exploited to give extremely high rewards for scrapping weapons such as the Golden Gun that have low base ammo.
Synergies
- Trade-In Receipt - Increases the reward obtained from scrapping, which can allow the player to massively increase the reward from scrapping weapons with ammo higher than their default maximums. This is useful for grinding the higher Bank achievements, such as Money Maker, Nest Egg, and Rich.

Trivia
- When the item was introduced with the 1.10 Halloween Update, it switched weapons every 0.5 sec, rather than 3 sec. This was fixed with 1.12 Update.
- Due to a bug, if the player has a third weapon slot but has their second slot equipped, this item will just equip the player's third slot rather than randomizing the second slot like normal,
