How many kills do I have with Skippy?

▶

To determine how many kills you have with Skippy, you can check your in-game stats or keep track of your progress manually, but the game doesn’t provide a direct counter for Skippy kills, so you’ll need to pay attention to the number of enemies you’ve taken down with this smart pistol. The number of kills with Skippy is important because after 50 kills, Skippy will switch from Stone Cold Killer mode to Puppy-Loving Pacifist mode, or vice versa, depending on your initial choice and subsequent interactions with the gun.

Understanding Skippy’s Modes

Initial Mode Selection

When you first acquire Skippy, you’re given the option to choose between Stone Cold Killer and Puppy-Loving Pacifist modes, which determine whether the gun will prioritize lethal headshots or non-lethal leg shots.
