Bubble Gun (demo)

Animation of the Bubble Gun.

The Bubble Gun is a Hardmode magic weapon that rapid-fires a short-range spread of bubble projectiles. Each shot fires three bubbles. It has a 20*1/5 (20%) chance of being dropped by Duke Fishron.

Its best modifier is Mythical.

Its best modifier is either Masterful for mana conservation or Godly/Demonic for higher damage output. It cannot get the Mythical modifier due to its low mana cost.

Notes[]

  • Though the Bubble Gun is normally a Hardmode weapon, on the Everything Seed it is no longer dropped by Duke Fishron and can be only found in Dungeon chests, making it a Pre-Hardmode weapon that now deals 5 damage instead of 70. Upon entering hardmode the damage is reduced once again, from 5 to 4. This is due to the Aqua Scepter and the Bubble Gun switching places on the Everything Seed.

Tips[]

  • Its rate of fire, combined with its damage, gives it among the highest magic DPS in Terraria, but it has very short range.
  • The Bubble Gun has similar function to the Razorpine in single target DPS. The Bubble Gun gives significant higher damage output and slightly more mana efficiency at the cost of range.
  • Because of its short range, spread, and lingering bubbles, it is most effective against large bosses that chase their target, like Pumpking.
  • Because of its insane damage output, its one of the best weapons against Plantera.
  • If you manage to obtain this weapon near the start of hardmode, it can easily take you all the way to the Moon Lord.

History[]

  • Desktop 1.4.4:
    • Projectile speed/distance increased from 11 to 15.
    • The bubbles now last twice as long before popping.
    • Mana cost increased from 4 to 5, allowing access to better modifiers.
