cleanse and repent
Cleanse and repent is a pair of ranged pistols that deal additional damage to unholy targets and can collect souls for survival. Their damage falls with distance. A soul is a stored revival resource, not ammunition, and an ultra instinct interaction changes its collection chance and the player’s outfit.
How it works
The guns alternate automatic shots after an equip flourish. The functionality section describes sixteen bullets before a three-second reload, with ordinary damage falling from fifteen at close range to seven farther away. Unholy damage uses a separate multiplier across that falloff. A close-range maximum therefore should not be used as a promise for distant targets. The item’s design comes from Pizza Game and its paired pistols.
A qualifying kill may add a soul to the on-screen counter. If a soul is stored, the next eligible fatal hit consumes one and heals the user to eighty percent of maximum health. Instant-death effects are excluded. The ordinary soul chance in the current functionality is twenty-five percent; the ultra instinct synergy says forty percent. This difference concerns earning souls, not the amount of healing on activation.
The old research extraction incorrectly attached temporary v2.1.20 changes to the subsequent revert. The live article says v2.1.21 reverted that event patch, so the temporary one-second reload, guaranteed ordinary soul drop and paired shots are not treated as current. The comparison table uses the functionality values. If an old video shows a faster reload or unusually frequent souls, its version context matters before comparing it with the current wiki entry.
