Found Dragonslayer but can't pick it up

(1/3) > >>

Arron Syaoran:
I just found Dragonslayer, but I can't pick it up.(Ao666) What Gives?

I already tried picking it up with G and U(neither work), I unequipped everything and killed everything(I think I still have YAAM status atm)

I have 5 Theories:
1. I need to be wielding the Rocket Launcher first.(Unfortunately none of them have spawned on this floor and I don't have one in inventory)
2. I need to go grab that Berserk Pack at some point.
3. I can just descend the stairs and it'll either automatically equip or I can find it again on a later floor.
4. I should commit suicide through either using Q or by killing myself by lava/acid and it'll equip automatically.
5. I should either blow up all the barrels or use up all the powerups on the current floor.

Are any of my five theories true? Or are all of them false?

You won't get your answers here...

The secret behind the Dragonslayer is something of a legend in this community. You may get a hint every now and then, you may even find a player willing to PM you the solution, but you won't get your answers here...

Arron Syaoran:
I wasn't asking for a spoiler, I was asking for a hint. If I can't even get a hint then I can at least go with the theories I haven't tried yet(I tried 2 of them to no avail).

Edit: I'm going to go for Vash the Stampede Badge.(Ao666 with 90% Kills on HMP as a Pistol Master) This time I'll try either Gun Kata or Bullet Dance. Hopefully Dragonslayer doesn't spawn this time. I'm going to keep an extra pistol with me just in case.

Reddit: It's Kind of a(very huge) buzzkill to find dragonslayer and not be able to pick it up. The conditions for wielding it should be the same for it spawning in the first place in my opinion, which would mean that it would never spawn unless you met the conditions.

LuckyDee:
I might be willing to give you a hint - and that's a big maybe in this case - but the fact is that I don't know how to wield it either. I used to feel disappointed by this, too, but the more I think about it the more I like the way this is handled, both by the game and by the community. Apparantly it's the latter who, by their own volition, have taken a secretive attitude towards it. Pretty great bunch of people, if you ask me :)

Apparently the solution is devastatingly easy, but that's about all I know.

emulord:
I've never found the dragonslayer, but I *hate* that I can't find how to wield it if I even found it. Its straight up not on the internet, and I think that's absurd. Its actually made me not play DoomRL.
I always like playing games optimally, and if I found it I know that not being able to wield it is extremely suboptimal. Its almost as bad as a "pay to win" thing because there aren't even any clues. Im not about to go watch a anime for a clue either.
