Spin lets you throw steel balls, change their flight path and charge them for stronger hits. Complete Road to Spin, then pay Gyro 25,000 Moola to learn it. Spin: Wrecking Ball is a variant unlocked through Wekapipo's quest.
Learning Spin preserves banked firearms, but you cannot access them while using Spin. Spin damage counts toward boss credit.
Charge and controls
- Z: Charge the Spin bar (1-second cooldown). Charging is 20% faster following the 25 October update and works while busy or ragdolled. It drains while you are not charging. Repeated charging trains Spin, making it charge faster and consume less energy; progress is saved between sessions.
M1 / 
M2: Throw the right / left steel ball. Throws have no cooldown but consume charge.- E / R: Cycle pitch styles.
- T: Drop both balls with slight homing (20-second cooldown). Drilling and Ricochet pitches have a new T move, also available with Wrecking Balls.
- F: Use Tonic Guard while charged and carrying a tonic bottle. It damages nearby enemies, deflects projectiles and reduces incoming damage.
- C: Spin Punch. While charged, Spin also improves basic punches and blocking; the block deflects bullets.
- V: Use Ball Breaker's barrage mode while you have that Stand.
While charged, Spin gives 15% damage reduction and 15% faster walking. Charged hits can break limbs, with a 1.5-second cooldown per limb. Spin also applies anti-heal to vampires. Throws at low charge deal roughly 75% of full-charge damage.
Pitch styles
| Style | What it does |
|---|---|
| Straight | Flies out, then turns back toward you. A headshot starts a quick-time follow-up throw. |
| Curving | Curves sideways with shorter range; balls thrown from the right curve left and vice versa. Gains slight homing on horseback. |
| Ricocheting | Bounces before returning. After three bounces, it homes toward the nearest opponent. |
| Drilling | Travels in a helix, spinning and ragdolling the target. |
| Spiraling | Unlocked by Master Practitioner. Orbits an area and can hit up to ten times. |
| Scan | Unlocked with Ball Breaker. Creates a scan zone for about 5 seconds; scanned players remain visible through walls for about 18 seconds. Hitting a marked weak spot triggers a critical hit and an explosion for about 27 damage. |
A charged hit to a gun user's right arm briefly inverts their gun. On horseback, Spin charges passively at high speed; throws travel faster and farther. A Straight throw at the ground while mounted creates an orbiting steel ball. Hitting a cactus makes it explode.
One More Shot!
A headshot can randomly trigger the One More Shot! quick-time event (QTE). Successfully completing it immediately throws another steel ball without any delay.
