Runetracer’s effect is: shoots diamond runes in random directions You can level this item up 8, and each time you level up the item, it gets a little bit better.

How to the evolve Runetracer

To evolve the Runetracer, you need to level it to 8 and have Armor (Any Level) as one of your items. This will allow you to evolve the Runetracer intothe No Future, which is described as, “shoots a blue laser that bounces in different directions.”

You can find the Armor (Any Level) in the Dairy Plant, Moongolow, and Boss Rash stages.

Evolved weapons typically have most of the base weapon’s stats, but they tend to have extra affects, a bonus, or some additional benefit that makes it worth evolving the base weapon. To evolve any weapon, it requires a base weapon and then a passive item that is used as a catalyst for the evolution.
