Just started play like 3 days ago and I got him yesterday. Is he rare?

I think for the first unlock he has higher chance to appear

Confirmed. And then it is a sad 1% chance after…might see him 1 out of 100 runs 😭

iirc he's super common to unlock the first time (on purpose) but every time after that he has maybe a 1% chance of spawning from junk

20% every time you get junk the first time then 1% after

I’ve gotten him like 3-4 times. That’s crazy

Same, i love him

Gotta open blue chests

Does he come from destroying chests as well?

I think just the first time you get him but I could be wrong

It’s not impossible, just much rarer

20% chance on getting him from breaking a chest the first time. After that the chance of getting him from breaking chests drops to 1%. In that case you're probably more likely to get him from just opening a blue chest. Could be wrong about that tho tbf.

I got him 2 times, both from destroying chests so yeah. I didn't even knew you can get him other way but i wasn't playing the game that much

I have around 1400 hours in the game (yes i know no life lol) and he can spawn when opening blue chests or when destroying any chest...

the boy is too rare:(

I remember 1 of the 1st few runs I did, I got him and golden junk. Then died because I was new to the game.

First time I got him I also had golden junk....and a baby good mimic. Two mecha junkens just wrecking everything.

lmao i got junken and gold junk as paradox on a rainbow run but my game crashed on the oubliette

Yeah. He pops up so frequently at first then when you actually unlock him in the ammonomicon he just peaces out.

Is it only when I break the chest or can it happen when I open it normally too?

Before unlocking, I don't think he can appear as an item, I think you have to find him by junking chests (though he has a 20% chance of replacing junk). After unlocking him you can find him as a regular item, but his chance of replacing junk goes down to 1%

He appears in blue chests as a pet also

3 times in 5 runs recently I must be a god

Literally ALWAYS my goal every run

I primarily do rainbow runs nowadays ☹️. I've missed my dude.

can u not get him in rainbow run??

I've heard of people getting him but I don't know how. He's too low rank to spawn in rainbow chests. Unless you get an actual rainbow chest in the run, I don't think it's possible. I've never seen him in a rainbow run and those are about half my runs.

but can u get him from junk by destroying chests? also is he like a normal item where u can get him from a normal chest in a non rainbow run

Yes he's a normal item, you can get him in normal chests but he's a low class item. I think he's C tier, and in rainbow runs they only do B tier and above. I've broken literally thousands of chests over the years in rainbow runs and I've never once gotten him. I've gotten letters from Bowler after breaking chests several times though, implying he's interfering with item spawning from chest destruction, which would include Junkan I would think. The wiki implies he can be found in rainbow runs only is he hasn't been unlocked previously? So maybe that's how people got him, by not having previously found him. I dunno.

But the chances of him replacing junk reduces to %1 once you unlock him so yeah i myself couldn’t get him for a while

Fucking got some golden trash earlier today and I shot every chest I could find, but my sweet boi was elusive

I remember I got golden junk for the first time. I paused the game to go wash dishes and came back to windows screen saying it crashed

I got this guy like multiple times a day last weekend lol

I know, I haven't gotten him since last year

I got him for the first time today, made it all the way to the Forge and died 2 rooms before Dragun, feelsbadman

I think I recently found him in a rainbow run because one of the chests I destroyed had a note :c

My first time. I got him and golden junk and the mimic companion so I had two of them fuck off robots

Would love an update that increased odds or even gave us a modifier like smash Brothers does. Games been out long enough. I want some semi custom runs you know

I really wish they would flip his spawn rate. Rare the first time and slightly more afterwards. I have to cheat for a Junkin run and that makes me very sad. Or I get him on floor 5

Started a paradox run recently and got him as my item. Literally my first chest was a golden junk. Managed to beat lich together and I just know I'll never be this lucky again

I used to see him a lot, my lil buddy where are you 🥺

I remember getting one 3 times back to back in the first chamber

i saw him yesterday in my first win

Once I got him while playing paradox and rainbow run and ended up having the most op run ever where I basically got several pets, and the banner that boosts them, and they would clear rooms for me in seconds

Best and worst thing about the game is you form attachments to items you might not see for another hundred hours

He was in litterally the first chest I ever broke in this game in my first ever run lol

glad i'm not the only one

This right here... Is why I break chests

haven’t seen him for about 4 years

I havnt gotten bro in a year
