  • The execution threshold visual will still increase.
• it would take around 111*^317 old guillotines in order to have a 100% threshold

Math

The threshold at which it will activate is determined by the formula: $f(x)={\bigg (}1-{\frac {1}{0.13x+1}}{\bigg )}={\bigg (}{\frac {0.13x+1}{0.13x+1}}-{\frac {1}{0.13x+1}}{\bigg )}={\frac {0.13x}{0.13x+1}}$

where x is the amount

Amount	Threshold
1	11.5%
2	20.6%
3	28.1%
4	34.2%
5	39.4%
6	43.8%
7	47.6%
8	51%

Shipping Details:

Everyone is still operating on adrenaline here. We finally overthrew our oppressors and have taken back Primas V! I know some of the overlords will attempt to buy their way onto a stealth transport, but that’s going to be quite difficult due to their epic economic blunder.

We don’t just want blood for all the injustices we’ve suffered at their hands. We want to send a message to would-be sympathizers. This old guillotine will serve both as an execution method and a symbol to strike fear into their hearts wherever they might be hiding.

Primas V is alive!

Trivia

• The Old Guillotine may be a reference to The Ol' Lopper from Risk of Rain 1. Both items are "old," have a strong execution motif, and give the player an extreme benefit against low-health enemies: the Lopper causes the player to land guaranteed critical strikes against weakened enemies, while the Guillotine will instantly kill those enemies if they are Elite.
• The Old Guillotine is currently the only item to have undergone a rarity change. It was originally added as a Common item before later being changed into an Uncommon item.
