Pull Toy Trinket Guide

Appearance

Pull Toy appears as a yellow duck with an orange beak, orange blush, and two visible orange wheels. The duck is attached to a white rope or string with a small ring at the end. It has a black circular eye, and each wheel has a black dot through the center, resembling a classic children's pull-along toy.

Description

Pull Toy is a Movement Speed trinket available in Dandy's Store for 1250 Ichor. It was added on July 12, 2024, alongside Diary, Fancy Purse, Feather Duster, Participation Award, and Pop Pack. Two prerequisites must be met before it can be purchased: surviving 30 Floors and completing 100% Research on any Twisted. Once equipped, Pull Toy activates automatically at the start of each new Floor, granting a 25% boost to both Walk Speed and Run Speed that lasts for 10 seconds. The burst covers the opening phase of each Floor — the critical window when players are spreading out from the Elevator to locate Machines, grab Items, and establish positioning relative to Twisteds. After 10 seconds the bonus expires and movement returns to base stats for the remainder of the Floor.

Strategies

Pull Toy is a niche trinket whose entire value is compressed into the first 10 seconds of every Floor. That timing window matters most for three specific playstyles: Machine rushing, distractor scouting, and early-item pickup.

For Machine rushing, the 25% speed burst lets you reach Machines that are farther from the Elevator before other players. This is especially strong when paired with Vee's Remote, because you can sprint to a distant Machine and pop it immediately. In competitive public lobbies where multiple players are racing for the same Machines, that head start can determine who finishes extraction first.

For distractors, the opening seconds are when you need to locate Twisteds and begin drawing aggro before teammates get chased. Pull Toy helps you discover Twisted positions quickly and start distracting before anyone else is at risk. However, finding Twisteds in time is rarely the main challenge unless teammates are spreading out recklessly, so this use case is somewhat situational.

Pull Toy is also useful for Rodger during Research runs. If teammates clear Machines too quickly or if you struggle to take aggro from the specific Twisted you need research on, the speed burst lets you reach that Twisted early and attract it before the Floor settles into its normal rhythm. This benefit applies mostly in public lobbies — organized runs should already coordinate around your research goals.

The main weakness of Pull Toy is that it provides zero value after the first 10 seconds. Unlike permanent speed trinkets such as Dog Plush or Speedy Shoes, Pull Toy does nothing during chases, Machine completion, or late-Floor survival. If the opening 10 seconds do not meaningfully change your outcome, the trinket slot is wasted.

Best Users and When to Skip

Pull Toy works best on fast Toons who can convert the 10-second burst into concrete map control. Toons with 4-Star or 5-Star Movement Speed already move quickly, and the 25% multiplier on a higher base stat produces a larger absolute speed gain. A 5-Star Toon jumps from 20 Walk / 30 Run to 25 Walk / 37.5 Run during the burst, which is fast enough to cross most Floor layouts before the timer expires.

Distractor Toons like Pebble or Looey can use Pull Toy to scout Twisted spawns immediately. Rodger benefits specifically during Research-focused runs. Any Toon whose goal is to reach a specific point on the map before anyone else can justify the slot.

Skip Pull Toy on slower Toons where the 25% boost still leaves you behind faster teammates. Also skip it when your lobby already has good coordination — if nobody is racing you for Machines and Twisteds are being handled smoothly, the opening burst adds little. Permanent movement trinkets like Dog Plush, Speedy Shoes, or Pink Bow will usually provide more total value across an entire run because they work during every chase and every Floor transition, not just the first 10 seconds.

Trivia

Pull Toy has several notable details about its history and mechanics.

• Bone used to have Pull Toy's effect — increasing both Walk and Run Speed by 25% when a new Floor arrived for 10 seconds. The ability was transferred to Pull Toy when Bone was reworked in the v0.2.0 Changelog.
• Pull Toy was added on July 12, 2024, in the same batch as Diary, Fancy Purse, Feather Duster, Participation Award, and Pop Pack.
• Pull Toy costs 1250 Ichor, the same price as Thermos, placing both trinkets in the same Ichor tier in the Dandy's Store table.
• The Movement Speed gained from Pull Toy scales with the Toon's star rating: a 1-Star Toon goes from 10 Walk / 20 Run to 12.5 Walk / 25 Run, while a 5-Star Toon goes from 20 Walk / 30 Run to 25 Walk / 37.5 Run.
• Pull Toy's appearance is a yellow duck pull-along toy — a classic children's toy design — attached to a white string with a ring at the end.
