Build around Special Banana first, then add Grenades and compatible throwable support as they appear.

Throwables
Solo
Normal

Core equipment: Bananaperson + Special Banana; Grenades optional

Worked example

Poison support can disable a character engine

Secret Sauce marks a non-Food weapon and a Food character item in the same arrangement.

Sauce marks recipients
Its poison effect and Food restriction both apply.
Special Banana is Food
Inside those marks, the character item is disabled.
Keep a valid receiver
Move Food outside Sauce while retaining a compatible weapon inside.

Result

The gun can keep the poison support while the Food item remains active outside the disabling marks. Inspect both after moving the bag.

Effect connections and sequence. Positions are illustrative; use the in-game marked cells to arrange the items.

Bananaperson brings Special Banana, so the opening already has its defining attack. Improve that throwable first. Grenades are an optional companion recommended by n0cturnal_RL in Falduna’s survival thread; don’t leave the bag empty waiting for them.

Rubber Band supports marked throwables with range and shorter trigger intervals.

Throwable support positioning

Place the Banana inside its support’s marked cells before fitting a second throwable. If rotating a support lets both recipients benefit, preserve both connections. Keep the Banana connection when space forces a choice.

A gun or melee weapon can fill a temporary gap without sharing the throwable support. Use the loot that keeps enemies away while the second throwable is missing.

During the opening, take support that works immediately before saving space for several missing pieces. When another throwable arrives, compare whether its support fits alongside the Banana’s.

Later, retain movement and an escape route around bosses. If the setup leaves enemies close enough to hit you, change the weak part of the loadout even if all the intended items are present.

Secret Sauce disables Special Banana

Version 1.0 classifies Special Banana as Food. Secret Sauce deactivates marked Food, so a poison arrangement can switch off the character’s main attack. Move the Banana outside those marks or leave the Sauce out.
