Paint

Paints are environmental hazards that can affect enemies (and occasionally yourself) with special status effects. There are currently a small number colors of paint in the game. Three spawn on the map, and others can be from standard weapons, or only be found on special War Paint weapons. The cow mangler is one notable exception; it is centered around how it interacts with paint; see its page for details.

If you strike a paint can with a melee weapon, in will paint a line in directly in front of you. All paint cans will explode after it accumulates a certain amount of damage. Rarely when a paint can explodes, it will spawn a swarm of bread monsters doused in the same color, or spawns a large amount of coins.

Beware, exploding paint can WILL damage you, as well as the enemy, Also, any hats that the player wears can be painted by the paint cans (intentionally or not). These serve as a cosmetic usage and do not effect the overall hat itself. The colored hat can even be seen in the leaderboards! hutty pls fix.

Pink
Pink paint speeds up the enemy AI, causing them to dodge faster and attack more frequently. Beware Pink covered saw blades!

Slate
Slate paint slows down the enemy AI, doing exactly the opposite of pink paint. You can use it to partially disable an enemy pack. Certain weapons also shoot slate paint as a special ablilty.

Gold
Gold paint makes enemies drop twice the extra gold coins when they die.

Green
Green paint makes enemies more likely to drop ammo, though it reduces the odds of getting other things. It is currently unknown whether this interferes with the proper working of the gibus or the candy cane, or if those weapons interfere with the proper working of the paint.

Mad Milk
Mad milk paint is produced by the scout weapon of the same name. When enemies covered in mad milk are damaged by the player, the player will be healed.

Jarate
Produced by the sniper's Sydney sleeper and Jarate weapons. Jarate paint makes enemies take double damage.

Blue
Blue paint is produced by the JarateMM and caused enemies affected to have lower gravity. When it hits the player they become a bird, gaining a double jump and extra speed.
