The Uzi is a Hardmode gun. It fires Bullets at high velocity, with a high rate of fire, and with high damage output. Musket Balls and Silver Bullets shot from this weapon gain the effects (but not damage) of High Velocity Bullets. It has a 1/100 (1%) () 1/200 (0.5%) () chance to drop from an Angry Trapper.

Its best modifier is Unreal.

Notes

• The Uzi could be an upgrade to the Megashark, if you're 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 much higher base knockback/sec (20 versus 8.5) than the Megashark does.
  • The Uzi is slightly slower but deals more damage per round. On enemies with more than 36 defense, the Uzi deals a higher overall damage rate 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 reach the Unreal modifier.
  • The Uzi compared to the Megashark is fairly inaccurate, with up to 15° of bullet spread.
• The Venus Magnum can be considered a direct upgrade of the Uzi, as it boasts minor improvements to almost all stats. However, the Venus Magnum lacks the auto-fire feature of the Uzi.

Trivia

• The Uzi is one of only two guns in Terraria to share its name with a real firearm, the other being the Red Ryder.
• In 1.2 Update, the Uzi was the rarest item in the game, with a 1/80000 (0.0000125%) drop chance. However, this droprate was drastically increased in the 1.2.0.3 patch.

History

• 1.3.0.1: Drop rate of the Uzi increased from 1/200 to 1/100.

• 1.2.0.3: Drop rate of the Uzi corrected from 1/80000 to 1/200.

• 1.2: Introduced.
