Red Text
You're more lost than you realize.
This review was machine-translated from the Japanese original. Numbers are checked against the original; if the wording reads oddly, the Japanese version is authoritative.
A Daedalus-made assault rifle that scatters sawblade projectiles that pierce walls and enemies and bounce, causing hit enemies to bleed collectively. It uses a non‑linear trajectory to engage multiple enemies, wearing them down with damage over time (Bully dmg).
🧩 Source of the red text “You’re more lost than you realize.” is a quote from the 2014 animated mini‑series Over the Garden Wall (Over the Garden Wall) episode 1, spoken by The Woodsman (The Woodsman) (Fandom Wiki). The weapon name “Lumberjack (The Woodsman)” matches the character, and the unique effect “Timber (Timber = the shout when felling a tree, “It’s falling!”)” corresponds to the sawblade, so the name, effect, and source align perfectly.
What kind of assault rifle? (Beginner’s perspective)
- A Daedalus-made assault rifle. Its projectiles fly as sawblades, piercing enemies and bouncing off walls
- Enemies hit receive bleeding (Bully dmg), dealing additional damage over time (ticks roughly every 3 seconds)
- Because its trajectory is non‑linear, it excels at wiping out clustered enemies together
- It attacks with physical damage plus a bleed debuff rather than elemental ammo
Unique effect (Mechanics)
Timber (Timber): piercing, bouncing sawblade fired. On hit, bleeding (Bully dmg) applied.
- In‑game: Timber – Impacted bullets deal damage again (bullets that hit deal damage a second time = bounce / re‑hit)
- Web (Lootlemon): Timber – Impacted bullets deal damage again
- Behavior details (Deltia’s Gaming etc.): Sawblades pierce enemies and bounce off surfaces, applying bleed on hit (ticks roughly every 3 seconds) Details of bounce and bleed are (unverified)
- 2026-05-07 patch increased damage by ~24% ((unverified) – from patch notes)
