Dart Pistol

Has a 20% (1 in 5) chance to be dropped by the Crimson Mimic found in the Crimson Biome during Hardmode. This weapon uses darts as ammo taking on whatever property that dart has. It is useful for the mechanical bosses as well because of its high DPS. It fires multiple darts in several spreading patterns, but only costs one dart.

Using crystal darts, craftable from Crystal Shards at 100 darts per shard, gives insanely high DPS given that the darts ricochet endlessly for a few seconds and auto-aim on enemies after hitting an enemy once, taking out swarms of enemies or ricocheting back on the same enemy multiple times. Especially effective against invasions, worm-like enemies as the ricochet hits several times, and clearing out caves - the darts get everywhere!
