Inspired by today's post: https://old.reddit.com/r/EnterTheGungeon/comments/9qdwh7/the_robot_definitely_needs_a_buff/

I always wished that the little robot could have a heart of his own so he could take part in all the Heart Related content in Gungeon where he normally could not. From swinging Blasphemy Beams to giving up his soul to the shrines, it would be neat if we had some rare but feasible means to allow him this privilege.

My idea is a new NPC found in shops or secret rooms named "Slingy Lou Who", a young bulletkin who is jealous of all his friends for having guns to play with on Christmas and make fun of him for only having a slingshot. Then in a fashion similar to the mini-bosses you fight a Grinch-like enemy (Maybe the Resourceful Rat?) and bring back the gun it drops to Slingy.

The act of kindness shows the gungeoneer the meaning of gift giving and bam, even the Robot gains a Full Heart. What he does with the heart afterwards is up to you.

Just an idea I know would probably never happen because it involves adding new content, but I just wanted to share it because maybe there is a chance for our Robot friend.

Fridge Edit: Slingy's parents don't want to get him a gun because he'll shoot his eye out. After getting the gun, Slingy could reference another Christmas related movie's ending...
