The Bounce Shot upgrade in Revenge of the Savage Planet turns your Pacifier pistol into a ricocheting death machine. It’s not flashy, but it’s one of the most useful combat tools in the game, especially when you’re dealing with enemies that hide their weak spots or move too much for clean hits.
Here’s how to get it and how to make the most of it.

How to Unlock Bounce Shot
To get the Bounce Shot upgrade, you need to progress through the Grinding for the Corner Office questline. Specifically, it’s tied to the Shock and Awe challenge during the Part-Time Explorer tier.
Do this:
-
Shock 5 creatures at once using an electric trap or environment hazard
-
Complete the rest of the mini challenges in that tier
-
Once the tier is done, check your 3D Printer for the Bounce Shot upgrade
You’ll need materials like Aluminum, Carbon, and maybe a Printer Slurry to craft it.
How Bounce Shot Works
Bounce Shot lets your pistol projectiles ricochet off surfaces. You can:
-
Hit enemies hiding behind cover
-
Tag multiple targets in tight spaces
-
Clean up weak points that are hard to aim at directly
To fire a Bounce Shot:
-
Hold the fire button until your reticle turns pink
-
Release to fire a charged shot that bounces off walls and floors
The bounce path is predictable, so with a bit of practice, you can bank shots like a pro.
Best Times to Use Bounce Shot
Boss Fights
-
In the Clawbarella fight, Bounce Shot is a game-changer. You can clear all glowing weak points under the claws in 1–2 hits after stomping the shells off.
-
Works great when bosses hide vulnerable spots behind armor or terrain
Shrines and Challenge Rooms
-
Some shrines reward creative use of gadgets. Bounce Shots can help when enemies swarm or dodge around obstacles.
Tight Corridors
-
If enemies are packed into small caves or you’re under heavy fire, bounce a few shots around the corner to stay safe while doing damage.
Final Blurb
Bounce Shot is your answer to slippery enemies and annoying boss phases. If you’re stuck on fights like Clawbarella or looking for ways to clear tight mobs faster, upgrade it early and put it to use. One ricochet can save a reload, and maybe your life too.
