Best Synergy for the Potion of Gun Friendship in Enter The Gungeon
The Potion of Gun Friendship shares two Synergies with one gun and a passive item in Enter the Gungeon – Five O’Clock Somewhere and Friend to Gun and Bullet.
Five O’Clock Somewhere
Five O’clock Somewhere is a Synergy between the Potion of Gun Friendship and the Crestfaller.
Five O’Clock Somewhere will cause the Crestfaller to fire a glass bottle that can stun enemies whenever you reload the weapon. Reloading your weapon while standing on liquid and the Crestfaller will replenish the missing ammo in the current magazine.
Friend to Gun and Bullet
If you have the Potion of Gun Friendship and the +1 Bullets, the Friend to Gun and Bullet Synergy between these two items will become active.
Friend to Gun and Bullet will spawn a copy of your current gun while the Potion of Gun Friendship is active. The gun will automatically fire at enemies and have a faster fire rate and infinite magazine at the cost of reduced damage.

Speaking of cooldowns, you might want to use the Potion of Gun Friendship wisely, as it has a pretty long cooldown. You need to deal 400 damage on the first floor, 533.32 damage in the Oubliette, 520 damage on the second floor, 666.64 damage on the Abbey of the True Gun, 640 damage on the third floor, 740 on the fourth, and 840 on the fifth to replenish the Potion of Gun Friendship.
