A player firing a Stynger

The Stynger is a ranged weapon dropped by Golem. It auto-fires Stynger Bolts, which are initially dropped by Golem along with the weapon, and can also later be purchased from the Witch Doctor or Arms Dealer when the Stynger is in the player's inventory.

Stynger Bolts explode on impact, dealing damage to anything in the explosion radius. Arching shrapnel is thrown from the explosion, each causing additional smaller explosions that inflict the same base damage.

The Stynger's best Modifier is Unreal.

Notes

• The Stynger counts as a rocket weapon for the purposes of Shroomite armor.
• The shrapnel explosion doesn't damage the shooter, allowing it to be used even at point-blank.

Tips

• Due to its explosive attacks, the Stynger can often finish enemies without the need for precision aiming. This is very convenient in stressful situations, such as when a target's location is unknown (i.e. dark areas).

Trivia

• The Stynger might be a reference to the RYNO V from Ratchet and Clank: A Crack in Time, as it looks quite similar.
