Cursed Rounds deal 51 damage, the same as marbles, and have a 50% chance to summon Shadow Tentacles on hit. 10 of them can be crafted for 1 Nightmare Fuel and 1 Thulecite Fragments and require an Ancient Pseudoscience Station to craft. They cannot be prototyped.

Damage Analysis

The shadow tentacles will deal 34 damage every 2 seconds for 9 seconds per tentacle. Assuming a perfectly stationary enemy (most are not) and that every 2nd shot summons a tentacle, and given the Trusty Slingshot's 0.9 second / shot; on average, we can expect:

Second	0.9	1.8	2.7	3.6	4.5	5.4	6.3	7.2	8.1	9	9.9	10.8	11.7
Shot damage	51	51	51	51	51	51	51	51	51	51	51	51	51
# Tentacles	0	1	1	2	2	3	3	4	4	5	5	5	5
Tentacle damage	0	34	0	68	0	102	0	136	0	170	0	170	0
Total damage	51	86	51	121	51	156	51	191	51	226	51	226	51

After 9 or 10 seconds, the tentacles will die off as fast as they are recreated, so average total damage every other second will not exceed 226. In a 10+ second fight with a stationary enemy, Walter could theoretically approach an average damage of 138 per second (on par with the dark sword). In practice, the slingshot's delay before the first shot after moving, or taking a hit, often means Walter has trouble getting shots off.

This example that treats 0.9 seconds of the slingshot as a whole second for the tentacle for simplicity of calculations, so figures are rough.

Trivia

• Cursed Rounds are the only Character-Specific Item that require an Ancient Pseudoscience Station to be crafted.
