Binding of Isaac Downloadable Content is now available, the massive update called The Binding of Isaac Repentance was released on March 31. Here are the patch notes for what all has been updated, changed, and new. Are you ready to dive into the new features this rogue-like has to offer?

The Binding of Isaac Repentance v4.0.4 Patch Notes

General fixes

Vengeful Spirit deals a lot more contact damage, before it was dealing much less than intended.

Hostile enemies spawned glitch items no longer deal instant damage, so the player gets a small amount of time to get away from them.

Fixed Vanishing Twin being able to turn into Dark Esau.

Fixed Locust of War + Brimstone Bombs being able to damage the player when spawned by Cricket Leg.

Fixed a bug which caused the first two floors of the alternate path to always share the same variant, making it impossible to see both Downpour and Dross in the same run.

General modding changes

Mods are now stored in a "mods" folder in the same directory as the rest of the game files.

This directory can be easily accessed by right clicking The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth in the Steam library, then clicking on "Properties", "Local Files", and finally "Browse...".

Mod save data is now stored separately in a "data" folder, meaning that updating or unsubscribing from a mod will no longer cause its save data to be wiped.

The name of the subfolder used to store save data is determined by the "directory" property in metadata.xml.

Added a loading screen that appears when installing or updating mods from Steam Workshop.

XML changes

Players (players.xml).

Added the following properties:

broken: Number of broken hearts this player begins with.

pocketActive: Gives this player the specified starting active item in the pocket item slot.

birthright: The unique description that should be displayed when this character picks up Birthright.

bSkinParent: If present, marks this character as the "tainted" version of the regular character that bears the specified name.

Usually, this should be set to the same name as the character, unless the tainted and regular version of this character bear different names.

If there is no regular character to attach to, this character will not be available in the character selection menu.

hidden: If set to "true", hides this character from the character selection menu.

Custom coop selection graphics can be set for all modded characters by supplying the following animation file (non-tainted characters only):

"content/Coop Menu.anm2": Must contain one animation per character, each animation must bear the same name as the character it was made for.

Custom menu graphics can be set for tainted characters by supplying the following animation files:

"content/CharacterMenuAlt.anm2".

"content/CharacterPortraitsAlt.anm2".

"content/Death Screen Alt.anm2".

"content/Coop Menu Alt.anm2".

"content/CharacterMenu.anm2" and "content/CharacterMenuAlt.anm2" no longer require a "Background" layer as the game now renders the paper background automatically.

Items (items.xml).

Added the following properties:

shopprice: Sets a custom shop price for this item.

initcharge: Overrides the initial charge for this item (this can be used for active items that do not start with a full charge).

chargetype: Can be set one of the following 3 values: normal (recharges on room clear), timed (recharges over time), special (never recharges automatically, cannot be recharged by batteries or item effects).

passivecache: If set to true on an active item, evaluates the player’s stats on pickup like a passive item rather than when using the item.

hidden: If set to true, cannot be obtained in game unless explicitly spawned or given to the player.

persistent: If set to true, temporary effects tied to this item persist between rooms.

quality: Sets the quality of this item (0 to 4, where 0 is the lowest quality and 4 is the highest).

tags: Adds one or more tags to this item (see items_metadata.xml for reference).

Lua changes

Added a new include() function which acts like a "raw" version of require() and will always load the specified file even if it was loaded before.

Fixed the spelling of EntityPlayer:GetMaxPocketItems() and EntityPlayer:DropPocketItem().

Previous spellings are still present for backwards compatibility but should no longer be used.

Sprite:SetFrame() can now be called with only an int argument, this will adjust the current frame for the current animation without stopping it.

Vector multiplication is now commutative (number * vector is a valid operation) and supports element-wise vector by vector multiplication.

Color(R, G, B, A, RO, GO, BO) has been updated:

Only the first three arguments (R, G, B) are required, A defaults to 1 when omitted.

The offset parameters (RO, GO, BO) default to 0 when omitted and are now in the 0-1 range instead of 0-255 for consistency.

Mods that use this feature will need to be updated.

Added constants Vector.Zero, Vector.One and Color.Default for convenience purposes.

Updated Isaac.GetPlayerTypeByName(string Name, boolean Tainted = false).

If Tainted is omitted or set to false, only matches non-tainted characters.

If Tainted is set to true, only matches tainted characters.

Tear flags are now represented by the BitSet128 data type, this was a necessary change due 64 bits no longer being enough to hold every tear effect in the game.

Most AB+ mods should be backwards compatible, however due to a limitation from Lua, expressions such as "Tear.TearFlags & TearFlags.TEAR_POISON == 0" no longer work correctly.

This can be quickly fixed by either replacing "==" with "<=", replacing 0 with TearFlags.TEAR_NORMAL, or using the convenience functions below.

The following convenience functions have been added:

void Entity_Tear:AddTearFlags(BitSet128 Flags).

void Entity_Tear:ClearTearFlags(BitSet128 Flags).

boolean Entity_Tear:HasTearFlags(BitSet128 Flags).

void Entity_Bomb:AddTearFlags(BitSet128 Flags).

void Entity_Bomb:ClearTearFlags(BitSet128 Flags).

boolean Entity_Bomb:HasTearFlags(BitSet128 Flags).

void Entity_Laser:AddTearFlags(BitSet128 Flags).

void Entity_Laser:ClearTearFlags(BitSet128 Flags).

boolean Entity_Laser:HasTearFlags(BitSet128 Flags).

void Entity_Knife:AddTearFlags(BitSet128 Flags).

void Entity_Knife:ClearTearFlags(BitSet128 Flags).

boolean Entity_Knife:HasTearFlags(BitSet128 Flags).

Updated EntityProjectile:

Added:

void ClearProjectileFlags(int Flags).

boolean HasProjectileFlags(int Flags).

MC_PRE_SPAWN_CLEAN_AWARD, MC_PRE_NPC_UPDATE and all MC_PRE_xxx_COLLISION callbacks will now only skip remaining callbacks when returning a non-nil value.

MC_GET_SHADER_PARAMS will now only skip remaining callbacks when returning a table.

Updated arguments passed to MC_USE_CARD (int CardId, EntityPlayer Player, int UseFlags).

Updated arguments passed to MC_USE_PILL (int PillId, EntityPlayer Player, int UseFlags).

Updated arguments passed to MC_PRE_USE_ITEM (int ItemId, RNG ItemRng, EntityPlayer Player, int UseFlags, int ActiveSlot, int CustomVarData).

Updated arguments passed to MC_USE_ITEM (int ItemId, RNG ItemRng, EntityPlayer Player, int UseFlags, int ActiveSlot, int CustomVarData).

If a table is returned instead of a boolean, the following fields can be set to a non-nil value for extra functionality:

Discharge: Determines whether the item should be discharged or not after being used.

Remove: Determines whether the item should be removed from the player or not after being used.

ShowAnim: Plays the default use animation if set to true (equivalent to simply returning true in AB+).

Updated PlayerTypes.ActiveItemDesc.

Added:

int TimedRechargeCooldown: Number of frames before an item with a timed cooldown can recharge again (used by Spin To Win to pause its recharge after fully discharging it).

float PartialCharge: How close the item is to gaining another charge (0-1 range, used by 4.5 Volt).

int VarData: Holds extra information for some active items (such as the number of uses for Jar of Wisps).

Removed:

boolean Lock.

Updated EntityPickup:

Added:

int OptionsPickupIndex: Any non-zero value causes the item to form an option group with any other item with the same OptionsPickupIndex value.

When an item belonging to an option group is picked up, all other items belonging to the same group disappear.

0 is the default value and means the item doesn’t belong to any group.

Removed:

boolean TheresOptionsPickup: see above.

Updated GridEntity:

Added:

RNG GetRNG().

The object returned from this function is now a reference rather than a copy.

Sprite GetSprite().

Same as above.

Removed:

RNG RNG.

Sprite Sprite.

Updated Sprite:

Added:

string GetAnimation().

string GetOverlayAnimation().

Updated EntityPlayer:

Added:

void ChangePlayerType(PlayerType Type).

void AddBrokenHearts(int Num).

void AddRottenHearts(int Num).

int GetRottenHearts().

boolean CanPickRottenHearts().

void AddSoulCharge(int Num).

int GetEffectiveSoulCharge().

void AddBloodCharge(int Num).

void SetBloodCharge(int Num).

int GetBloodCharge().

int GetEffectiveBloodCharge().

EntityPlayer GetMainTwin().

EntityPlayer GetOtherTwin().

boolean TryHoldEntity(Entity Ent).

Entity ThrowHeldEntity(Vector Velocity).

EntityFamiliar ThrowFriendlyDip(int Subtype, Vector Position, Vector Target = Vector.Zero).

EntityFamiliar AddWisp(int Subtype, Vector Position, boolean AdjustOrbitLayer = false, boolean DontUpdate = false).

EntityFamiliar AddItemWisp(int Subtype, Vector Position, boolean AdjustOrbitLayer = false).

void TriggerBookOfVirtues(CollectibleType Type = CollectibleType.COLLECTIBLE_NULL).

EntityFamiliar AddSwarmFlyOrbital(Vector Position).

int GetNumGigaBombs().

void AddGigaBombs(int Num).

CollectibleType GetModelingClayEffect().

void AddCurseMistEffect().

void RemoveCurseMistEffect().

boolean HasCurseMistEffect().

boolean IsCoopGhost().

EntityFamiliar AddMinisaac(Vector Position, boolean PlayAnim = true).

The Binding of Isaac Repentance v4.0.0 Patch Notes

General Changes

Coop can now be played with multiple, separate characters instead of babies. If played with multiple characters, bosses will drop multiple items.

Greed Mode now features floor alts (Burning Basement, Necropolis, etc).

Challenge room waves are now randomized, and each floor features unique waves (previously they were shared for every alt floor in a chapter).

Small boss rooms and small miniboss rooms have been disabled.

Rooms with portal enemies now only appear in The Void.

Rooms with spikes directly next to the entrance have been adjusted. The spikes are either moved away from the door or blocked off.

Adjusted the appearance rate of many special rooms to be more balanced (the black poop super secret room is now rarer, for example).

The item tracker now includes a "mini" option, allowing for more items to be displayed at once.

Black hearts no longer pause the game with an animation when lost. New, less intrusive effects have been added for them.

The tears stat on the HUD now displays as "tears per second" (previously displayed delay between tears in frames).

The range stat on the HUD now displays the amount of effective range in tiles (this also fixes misleading cases like Mini Mush/Kidney Stone).

Devil/angel chances on the HUD have changed to display the chance the respective deal will appear (previously displayed the chance for an angel deal to replace a devil deal).

Duplicate items now show up on the item tracker/pause menu/game over screen.

Smelted/gulped trinkets now show up on the item tracker.

It is now possible to pick up two of the same trinket (if it was duplicated). Effects can stack.

Sacks can now be sold in shops for 7¢.

Items/mechanics that damage red hearts first now ignore eternal hearts instead of removing them.

Bombs now flash corresponding to their detonation timer, instead of exploding without warning.

Curse of the Maze now avoids teleporting players to already explored rooms.

Brightness around players has been increased in order to aid visibility in Curse of Darkness on lower gamma settings.

The pixelation visual effect (used by Retro Vision and stage transitions) has been reworked, and is generally less blurry/painful to look at.

Retro Vision now lasts a set amount of time instead of going away and returning at random intervals.

Mom’s Dressing Table has been moved from the starting room to bedrooms.

Spider Mod now features color coded health bars and more accurate damage information.

Enemies now die upon reaching zero health. Previously, enemies needed to reach negative health to die. This mostly improves the lethality of items that deal fixed damage.

"Moldy Bread" has been renamed to "Midnight Snack". Pickup quote changed to "HP up".

Mine Crafter has been updated to allow remote detonation of the placed TNT by activating the item again while uncharged. Previously, this remote detonation feature required another charge on the item. TNT will now always be placed if the item is used while charged, allowing for more than one barrel to be active at a time if more charges are available.

The damage tick rates on Little Chubby and Big Chubby have been increased.

Lil Gurdy can deal significantly more damage (dependent on charge), and now bounces off of enemies and obstacles.

Monster Manual familiars now persist for the entire floor. Charge time has been increased to 6 (from 3).

Book of Belial’s (and by extension The Devil card’s) effect is now stackable.

Rosary now gives a tears upgrade (equal to that of the Screw).

Ghost Pepper now shoots spectral blue flames that scale with Isaac’s damage and luck.

The Inner Eye now causes less of a decrease in rate of fire than previously, and now has a tighter spread.

Boomerang is now piercing, and has far less downtime between throwing it and being able to fire tears again.

Scatter Bombs’ small bombs now pop out in a less erratic cluster that explode quickly.

Adrenaline now grants an increasingly higher damage bonus the more empty heart containers Isaac has.

The Negative now grants a passive damage upgrade (equal to that of Steven or Pentagram).

Hot Bombs now have greatly increased contact damage (increased from 1 to 16), and passively grants Isaac immunity to fire.

Wiggle Worm, Ring Worm, and Hook Worm now grant spectral tears.

Umbilical Cord now has a high chance to spawn a Gemini familiar for the room when Isaac takes damage. This effect is stackable.

Finger Bone’s chance to grant a bone heart has been increased to 5% per hit taken (from 2%).

Stem Cell now heals Isaac’s heart containers to 50% each floor. If Isaac already has 50% health or more, it does the previous effect of healing half of a heart.

Glyph of Balance now also modifies room clear rewards.

Teleport! now allows the player to influence the teleport direction (using the direction Isaac is moving upon activating the item).

Void and Black Rune can now suck up items that are held over Isaac’s head. This allows usage on purchased shop/devil items.

Void no longer activates effects immediately upon sucking them up. This allows for more strategic activation timing for single-use actives.

Scissors has been redesigned. The stationary head is now affected by Isaac’s stats and attack modifiers, and the body will spew a controllable fountain of blood shots. Charge time increased to 4 (from 2).

Dr. Fetus bombs now scale with the player’s tear size and are now immune to knockback from their own explosions. The damage formula of the bombs has changed from damage * 5 + 30 to damage * 10.

Kidney Bean now has a bigger effect radius, no longer deals damage to the enemies it’s charming, and charge time has been reduced to 1 (from 2).

Kidney Stone is no longer a speed downgrade.

Explosivo tears now deal damage upon impact.

D10 now attempts to reroll enemies into enemies of similar health.

Ipecac explosion size now scales with tear size.

Technology beam size now scales with damage, and lasers inherit angles from movement, similar to tears.

Libra’s damage and fire rate formulas have been adjusted.

Tear Detonator is now a timed recharge (previously 1 room charge).

A Pony’s charge time has been reduced to 2 (from 4). Ram damage formula has changed to damage * 4 + 28 (previously dealt a static 40 damage). The charge direction now allows for a minor amount of control.

White Pony’s charge time has been reduced to 2 (from 6). The beams of light now trail behind Isaac when charging with it (damage formula of the beams is damage * 4 + 10). Otherwise functions identically to the regular Pony.

Friendly Ball’s charge time has been reduced to 2 (from 3). Walking over the thrown ball after capturing an enemy will immediately recharge it.

Bob’s Rotten Head’s charge time has been reduced to 2 (from 3). Damage has been increased to 185 (from 50). Upon exploding, it now leaves behind a gas cloud that poisons enemies that move through it.

Box of Friends’ charge time has been reduced to 3 (from 4).

Flush’s charge time has been reduced to 4 (from 6).

Necronomicon’s charge time has been reduced to 4 (from 6).

The Bible’s charge time has been reduced to 4 (from 6).

My Little Unicorn’s charge time has been reduced to 4 (from 6).

Gamekid’s charge time has been reduced to 4 (from 6).

Invincibility effects with contact damage (such as Gamekid) now deal 20 damage every half second (from 40 damage every full second, meaning potential DPS is unchanged, but feels more responsive). If an enemy is at 40 HP or less, they will still be killed immediately on contact.

Chaos now assigns a "weight" to item pools based on how many items are in the pool. The more items in a pool, the more likely that pool will be picked.

D Infinity has been reworked. Press the drop button to cycle through to the next dice (there is no limit to this). Charge time scales based on the chosen dice, updating with each usage. No longer forces the player to use a different effect.

The Nail’s temporary damage bonus has been increased, and is now able to stack with itself. Now grants a half black heart upon use instead of a full soul heart.

Odd Mushroom (thick) is now a larger damage increase (equal to that of Steven/Pentagram), but now also a larger speed downgrade (from -0.1 to -0.2).

Tiny Planet’s orbit now more tightly follows Isaac. To help with range, the orbit is now also offset based on the current direction Isaac is shooting.

Pyromaniac now grants Isaac immunity to fire, but no longer protects against stomps or shockwaves. Explosions now only heal Isaac for half of a heart (previously healed a full heart).

Abaddon now only grants two black hearts, but now also converts heart containers into black hearts instead of simply removing them.

Technology 2 no longer decreases Isaac’s damage stat (the damage of the laser itself is unaffected by this change). Rate of fire is still halved as previously, but this reduction now also applies to tear replacements, such as Brimstone, Mom’s Knife, etc.

Isaac’s Heart can now be repositioned easier, as it tries to stay opposite of the direction Isaac is shooting. As Isaac shoots, it will charge up and, when released, will repel all nearby enemies and release blood shots in eight directions. Isaac’s body gains a larger hitsphere than previously to block shots with, and is also pushed less by enemies. While an enemy is in contact with Isaac’s body, they take 7 damage over 2-3 ticks per second. Enemies now target Isaac’s body instead of the heart. This item no longer prevents damage from self harm mechanics/items.

Sharp Plug’s cost has been reworked to depend on the amount of charge bars missing. It takes half of a heart per charge, and can now be used on partially charged items. It now stops short of dealing fatal damage, and cannot be used at half of a heart. Now takes red hearts first.

Satanic Bible, if used on the floor before defeating the boss, now changes the boss item drop to a random devil deal that must be paid for. The Polaroid/Negative pedestals are unaffected.

Shard of Glass now causes Isaac to start bleeding upon taking damage, slowly draining his red health over time. While bleeding, he leaves a trail of creep, and spews a fountain of controllable blood shots. The effect ends when Isaac receives any kind of red heart healing, or when he runs out of red health to use (it cannot kill him).

Head of Krampus now deals 10 damage over 19 ticks (from 22 damage over 20 ticks). Charge time has been reduced to 3 (from 6).

Pinking Shears’ charge time has been reduced to 4 (from 6). Damage tick rate of the body has been reduced. The speed of the body now depends on the player’s speed stat. If the player is able to fly (prior to activating the effect), then the body will be able to fly as well.

Proptosis is no longer a flat multiplier to the damage stat (it’s now a lesser additive increase). Tear damage is still determined by a distance-based multiplier, and at point blank it will do more damage than previously (up to 300% damage). Damage scales linearly down to 0% with distance.

Bloody Lust’s damage bonus has been adjusted (previous order was +0.5, +0.5, +0.5, +33%, +33%, +33%, new order is +0.5, +0.7, +0.9, +1.1, +1.3, +1.5).

Blank Card now only works with cards. Charge time is now dependent on the held card, and will update with each activation.

Placebo’s charge time is now dependent on the held pill, and will update with each activation.

The Virus’ poison effect no longer drops black hearts. Enemies coming into contact with Isaac now immediately take 12 damage, and the poison effect lasts for either 6-7 ticks (previously 5-6 ticks). The damage from the poison effect scales with the amount of red health Isaac has, dealing up to 30.8 damage per tick at 12 full red hearts. The -0.1 speed downgrade has been changed to a +0.2 speed upgrade.

Soy Milk tears now cause drastically less knockback.

Stop Watch now slows down all enemies in the game once again, but the slow effect is much less drastic. No longer has an "on hit" effect.

Dark Bum now has a chance to drop pills, cards, or runes. If he drops a heart, it will always be a black heart.

Tarot Cloth now only buffs tarot cards. Some cards that previously did not benefit from doubling now have unique effects.

Red Candle flames now time out after ten seconds and automatically extinguish. They also no longer block player attacks or get extinguished by them.

Notched Axe now functions as a melee attack that breaks rocks and damages enemies in its path. It has a limited amount of uses per floor, decreasing with every hit that connects with a rock/enemy.

Little Horn’s tear effect isn’t piercing anymore, but can now summon Big Horn’s hand to slap bosses for extra damage. Still is an instant kill on regular enemies, and features a new animation of Big Horn’s hand grabbing them.

Locusts of War (including the ones generated by 7 Seals) now have smaller explosions, which should result in less self damage taken from them.

Glowing Hourglass now refunds certain resources that it didn’t before (such as keys/health spent to enter special rooms). Charge time has been increased to 3 (from 2).

Deep Pockets no longer adds a pill/card slot, instead increases money cap to 999. When a room clear would otherwise yield no rewards, it now spawns 1-3 pennies.

Acid Baby’s pill drop rate has been reduced to every 6-7 rooms (previously every 2-3 rooms). Upon using a pill, all enemies in the room now take 10 damage and become poisoned for 6-7 ticks (previously only had the poison effect for 2 ticks).

Telekinesis has more downtime between being able to activate it again, and now repels nearby enemies. Enemy shots picked up now retain their properties (such as appearance, or ability for Ipecac shots to explode).

Book of the Dead’s charge time has been increased to 6 (from 4). Generated orbitals now break more easily.

Reduced the amount of speed given by Roid Rage to +0.3 (from +0.6).

Reduced the amount of speed given by Growth Hormones to +0.2 (from +0.4).

Lead Pencil’s tear barrage no longer deals double damage.

Removed the double damage multiplier on Mongo Baby’s attacks.

Technology Zero’s lasers now deal 30% of the player’s damage stat per tick (from 100%).

Sharp Straw is now only able to generate half red hearts (previously, it generated half soul hearts if the player had no heart containers). Now mostly ignores the +40 damage from Ipecac in its damage formula.

Piercing shots no longer damage segmented enemies (such as Larry Jr) multiple times per attack.

Full run reroll effects (such as D4) are now able to remove heart containers and transformations if losing the respective items during the reroll. Rerolls also do not directly grant health, and heart containers gained from rerolling will start empty.

Damage tick rates from Smart Fly, Hushy, and ???’s Only Friend have been decreased.

Lil Brimstone is now unable to start charging until he is finished attacking. Beam damage has been decreased to 2.5 over 8 ticks (from 3.5 over 9 ticks).

Most orbitals (aside from Big Fan and attack flies) have decreased collision size, rotate around Isaac more quickly, and deal less damage ticks per second.

Host Hat no longer protects against stomps or shockwaves.

Empty Vessel now requires the timer to reach a twenty second interval twice in one room before triggering invincibility (previously triggered invincibility the first time the timer reached 00, 20, or 40 seconds while in the room, allowing players to enter every room invincible with enough patience).

Electricity arcs generated from Jacob’s Ladder now have a maximum range unless chained through enemies. They also cannot deal extra damage to the enemy being hit by the tear.

Brimstone beam duration has been reduced, dealing 9 ticks of damage total (down from 13), and it no longer gains bonus damage from Tammy’s Head, Sad Bombs, or Varicose Veins.

Mom’s Knife default thrown range has been reduced. The bonus damage gained from charging is now removed much more quickly as the thrown knife returns to Isaac.

Maw of the Void no longer comes with a damage upgrade, and no longer generates black hearts.

Athame no longer generates black hearts.

Serpent’s Kiss no longer generates black hearts from the poison tears (the contact effect still can).

Mitre now only has a 33% chance to convert red heart drops into soul hearts (down from 50%).

The Relic now generates soul hearts less frequently.

Rune Bag now generates runes less frequently.

Tech X damage is now calculated based on charge, starting from 25% at minimal charge to 100% at full charge. The maximum ring size has been reduced. Shots now also dissipate more quickly upon coming into contact with walls.

Most bomb modifiers are now chance based (scaling with luck) when used with Dr. Fetus or Epic Fetus.

Incubus attacks deal 25% less damage as characters other than Lilith, and are now affected by the player’s range and shot speed stats.

20/20 now reduces the player’s damage by 25%.

Holy Mantle shield effects (including those from Blanket and Holy Card) now have significantly less invulnerability frames when lost.

Damage from Razor Blade and Blood Rights now ignores invincibility effects, similar to IV Bag.

Humbleing Bundle has been changed to be chance based instead of guaranteeing every pickup to be a doubled variant.

Reduced Cracked Crown’s stat bonuses to +20% (from +33%) and removed the flat independent tears upgrade from it.

Lucky Rock now has a 33% chance to drop a coin for every rock destroyed (previously 100%).

Flat Penny, Burnt Penny, and Bloody Penny now have a 25% chance to drop extra pickups (previously 50%).

Moving Box now has a cap of 6 held items/pickups (previously unlimited). Packing up chests/items from challenge rooms now starts the ambush.

Restock now exponentially increases the asking price with every shop purchase, and no longer spawns random pickups when the item is obtained.

Mr. ME! no longer restocks shops when stealing from them.

Obtaining more than one Steam Sale no longer makes shop items free, but still further reduces their price.

Random shop sales (for further reduced prices) will no longer occur with Steam Sale.

Scapular won’t grant its soul heart if the player is attempting to proc it with certain heart donation mechanics (such as IV Bag).

Reduced the shield duration of the Algiz rune to 20 seconds (from 30 seconds).

Damage upgrades (and other tear size increases) don’t increase tear size quite as much as before.
