The Uzi being used on Target Dummies.
The Uzi is a Hardmode gun that fires bullets at high velocity, with a high rate of fire, and with high damage output. Musket Balls and Silver/Tungsten Bullets shot from this weapon gain the effects (but not damage) of High Velocity Bullets. The Uzi has a
1*1/100 (1%) /
0.5*1/200 (0.5%) chance to drop from an Angry Trapper.
Its best modifier is Unreal.
Notes[edit | edit source]
- The Venus Magnum can be considered a direct upgrade of the Uzi, as it boasts minor improvements to almost all stats. However, only on the
Mobile version and
version does the Venus Magnum have the auto-fire feature of the Uzi, the lack of which can make it physically tiring to use.
Tips[edit | edit source]
Because Musket Balls fired from the Uzi are turned into High Velocity Bullets, they can pierce, hitting up to 3 enemies with a 15% drop in damage between each enemy.
- One would need to defeat
230 /
460 Angry Trappers for a 90% chance of obtaining an Uzi (or
460 /
920 for a 99% chance).
- The Uzi can be considered an alternative to the Megashark, if the player is fortunate enough to have an Angry Trapper drop it. The main differences are:
- The Uzi is obtainable before defeating any Hardmode bosses, while the Megashark requires The Destroyer to be defeated first.
- The Uzi has a 172.232% higher base knockback/second than the Megashark (23.333 versus 8.571).
- The Uzi is slightly slower but deals more damage per round. On enemies with more than 36 defense, the Uzi deals more damage per second using Crystal Bullets than a Megashark using the same.
- The Uzi lacks the Megashark's ammo conservation feature, which can easily be compensated for with an Endless Musket Pouch
. The bullets will still be released from the gun as High Velocity Bullets.
The Uzi is much cheaper to reforge, making it less expensive to acquire the Unreal modifier.
- The Uzi compared to the Megashark is fairly inaccurate, with up to 15° of bullet spread.
Trivia[edit | edit source]
- The Uzi is one of only eleven guns in Terraria based on a real gun, the others being the Red Ryder, Shotgun, Sniper Rifle, Handgun, Chain Gun, Flintlock Pistol, Tactical Shotgun, Musket, Quad-Barrel Shotgun, and Revolver. It is named after Uzi, a family of Israeli submachine guns.
- In the 1.2 update, the Uzi was the rarest item in the game, with a
0.00125*1/80000 (0.00125%) drop chance. However, this drop rate was drastically increased in the 1.2.0.3 patch shortly afterward. - The Sniper Rifle, Uzi, and Venus Magnum all share the same tooltip.
