With the release of version 1.1, a new weapon appeared in the Terraria game - a flamethrower. This non-standard long-range rifle deals flame damage and is extremely effective against weak opponents. In this guide, you will learn about the capabilities of the flamethrower in Terraria, as well as the rules for crafting weapons.
Description
Flamethrower is a powerful weapon. It deals 55 damage per second, with an average shot speed of about 30. This gun is useful in battles with any opponents, and especially in the battle with the Destroyer. The flamethrower strikes several sectors at once, which helps in the fight against this boss.
Weapons can be strengthened by purchasing an upgrade from a goblin engineer. At the same time, the improvements “Unreal” and “Slow” are considered the best modifications.
The gun uses gel as an ammunition, while for one piece of such "cartridges" a weapon fires 5 jets of fire. To constantly replenish ammunition, create a gel factory. To do this, you need slug statues.
The flamethrower in "Terraria" has a drawback - this weapon periodically imposes the "On Fire" debuff on the player and friendly characters, in which up to 4 health per second is lost. To get rid of the effect, enter the water. And the Obsidian Skin potion helps neutralize the debuff.
But there are some nice nuances with this effect. If you kill an opponent in a PvP battle using a debuff, then coins will drop out of the character. This is probably due to the fact that only mobs apply such effects, and death from their paws leads to the loss of wealth.
How to make a flamethrower in Terraria
To create an item you will need a mithril or orichalcum anvil. And you also need to get the following components:
- 20 iron or lead ingots. There will be no problems finding such ingredients, because they are made in a conventional furnace from the appropriate ore.
- 20 souls of fear. These items drop in the amount of 20-40 pieces after killing Skeleton Prime. This boss will have to tinker with, especially in the early stages of the game.
- Illegal parts of weapons. This component for creating weapons is bought from the merchant only at night, but regardless of the phase of the moon. For the item will have to lay out 20 gold coins.
Having collected all the necessary parts, go to the anvil and create an item.
Useful bugs
The flamethrower does not pierce through walls, does not work in water. But there are nice bugs to help fix this situation. To attack an opponent through a wall, expose them to the light at the tip of the flamethrower. And the damage will be done. In addition, if you shoot at an enemy who is seated near the bottom, he will receive damage from the flame, even under water.
