Talk:Megashark

The info on prefixes is all already on the Reforge page, so I'm removing it from the notes here. GenericPseudonym 22:21, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

The Megashark is overpowered as tits
Prefixes not taken into consideration, the base Megashark has a DPS of 300, using only Musket Balls as ammo.

The Star Cannon, for comparison sake, has a DPS of 300 as well.

Megashark basically has the highest DPS in the game, bar none. It's that broken.
 * But the low damage causes the monsters defense to cancel a lot of its damage, making it a strong (hard to get, so it should be) but not overpowered weapon. --Icke 10:06, 17 June 2012 (UTC)

Stacking Effects with Hallowed Helmet?
Do we know what the overall effect of stacking the set bonus from the Helmet from the Hallowed Armor set? (25% less ammo use) Is it linear (50% + 25% == 75%) or multiplicative (50% * 1.25 == 62.5%) or just the value of the highest contributor? Xirema 07:47, 11 December 2011 (UTC)


 * There is a separate check for each ammo reducing item you have, so it's multiplicative. If you have both a 50% less ammo item and a 25% less ammo item, you'd have a 62.5% chance of not using any ammo. --GauHelldragon 07:42, 11 December 2011 (UTC)


 * In that case, I'll put that in the article. Xirema 07:47, 11 December 2011 (UTC)

star cannon mentioned vs. mega shark + wOf
the wall of flesh seems easier with an "unreal megashark" than it does a star cannon, is it becuase star cannon ammo phases through making it miss? or is it a player using msuket balls that dont phase.... or is an unreal megashark really that good? please arify and compare the megashark and star cannon during the WoF fights. HERO or Ymnir could upload a request from the wiki on that, then you could look for the title "negsahrk versus WoF" becuase i see the megashark as way more powerful than the star cannon for many reasons. --Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.185.215.123 (talk • contribs)
 * It is likely the star cannon is mentioned since that is the strongest weapon you'll have before hard mode. --JonTheMon 17:45, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

Guys megashark is better than star cannon
Star cannon does not fire as fast as megashark so its not as good

Dude. What has higher attack then? Speed is not everything. I've used hacks and hacked in both and star cannon is better. it's just that                    stars are so hard to get.

Could also have something to do with star cannons UNLIMITED piercing, proper aiming can give you 30+ hits against the destroyer with 1 star
