They can take a long time to spawn, give it some time. Also, please sign your comments (~~~~). Juze User Juze sig icon 02:00, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
Isn't there a help page for things like this? Seems wastefull for a help talk page to be put on any NPC that spawn randomly. --Thanatos 03:02, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
How long are we talking about, because My server's been running for a week, and we still haven't gotten it, but we have multiple copies of the others.--Edgar 132.203.150.40 19:30, 10 June 2011 (UTC)

does the blowpipe count?[]

I've got FOUR houses empty and they've all got a light,bed,table and 2 chairs.Ive got a blowpipe,so does that count??? Terrariafreakpiper 08:22, 30 September 2011 (UTC)

Came here to post something similar: The page says that you must have a "Gun"... and the "Gun" page lists the blowpipe as a gun. But I believe that it does not count and you must in fact have a "Firearm". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.88.38.45 at 01:39, 9 December 2011 (UTC)

What About The Space Gun? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.2.118.82 at 03:48, 17 April 2020 (UTC)

The Space Gun does not fulfill the requirement for the Arms Dealer to spawn. Quote from the page: "The player has at least one bullet or bullet-firing gun in their inventory." The Space Gun does not fire bullets, it is a magic weapon. --Rye Greenwood (talk) 08:58, 20 April 2020 (UTC)

Respawning[]

Do you currently posses a gun other than the Blowpipe, Space Gun, Star Cannon, and Laser Rifle? He won't show up unless you currently posses one of the other guns besides those four (or at least a Musket Ball). --Museerouge 20:34, 12 May 2012 (UTC)

Arms Dealer racist?[]

Just me or does this NPC come off as a bit racist? Sprite shows him as black, most of his names are ghetto black stereotypes, he's a gun enthusiast who sells illegal parts, etc. I don't know. Seems fishy to me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 107.77.76.22 at 10:57, 26 November 2016 (UTC)

To be honest, a lot of the Town NPCs in Terraria are stereotypes. Take the Merchant, Witch Doctor, and Demolitionist. They can all be considered embodiments of character stereotypes found throughout videogames. The Arms Dealer is probably no exception. 4e696e6a6f795844 (talk) 12:34, 26 November 2016 (UTC)

Happiness?[]

I've left this to explain my edit. From my testing, the statement about him liking the nurse is untrue; he has no comment for her when asked about happiness.

We've confirmed that the Arms Dealer and Nurse like each other, both in code and in-game. See NPCs#Happiness for a full chart. Breathlessblizzard (talk) 21:09, 18 May 2020 (UTC)

no one will hear your gunshots with the thunder.[]

During a Storm:

  • "If you time it right, no one will hear your gunshots with the thunder. "

I don't know how common this is in games or movies, but might be a Battlefield Bad Company 2 reference.

Bad Company 2 Thunder Sniper Mission
"use the thunder to hide your shots"
"Is it wrong of me to say I wish I'd thought of that?"
"Yes!"

does the flare gun counts?[]

i got a flaregun,flares and room but the arm dealer does not spawn what i shloud do? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.76.241.25 at 10:24, 8 February 2021‎ (UTC)

No, since it doesn't use bullets as ammo. From the page: "[...]The player has at least one bullet or bullet-firing gun in their inventory" --Eraloiz (talk) 10:33, 8 February 2021 (UTC)
