Dart Rifle

The Dart Rifle is a Hardmode ranged weapon that consumes darts as ammunition. It has a chance to be dropped by Corrupt Mimics. It is the Corruption counterpart to the Crimson Dart Pistol.

Tips

 * It can be an extremely deadly mid-Hardmode weapon in the right situations when paired with the right darts: Crystal Darts for enclosed areas or crowded enemies, or Cursed Darts for many grounded enemies.
 * With the right gear, the Dart Rifle can do over 200 damage on a critical hit. This damage, combined with the damage over time of Cursed Darts, allows it to pick off powerful enemies with a single shot. It remains useful even past Plantera's defeat, performing sufficiently well until the Sniper Rifle becomes available.

Trivia

 * Before the 1.4 update, the Dart Rifle could be considered the Hardmode version of the Musket, knowing that both are obtainable in worlds containing Corruption and looked very similar. The only difference was that the Musket consumes bullets as ammunition instead of darts.
 * The Dart Rifle is not capable of using the Rifle Scope/Sniper Scope to zoom in on targets.
