Beenade



Beenades are consumable ranged weapons that can be dropped by the Queen Bee boss or crafted on the using Grenades and Bee Wax. They act similarly to regular Grenades, but release 15–25 friendly bee projectiles upon exploding that hone in on enemies. Each bee can attack or ricochet a total of 3 times and each bee hit inflicts the total Beenade damage.

Tips

 * Beenades are perhaps best used in large, open spaces. Since tight spaces have a higher chance of having bees bouncing off surfaces, thereby reducing potential damage, the real damage is caused by the bee swarm.
 * Beenades are exceptionally effective against certain bosses. Against the Wall of Flesh, they swarm the Hungries, taking them out very quickly. It takes about 50–100 / Beenades to kill the Wall of Flesh.
 * If there are a high number of loose entities in the world (objects/coins/blocks), be aware that spawning many bees can likely cause the oldest entities to despawn, causing the oldest objects to be lost forever. It may therefore be wise to collect all loose, valuable items before spamming bee-spawning items.
 * Equipping the will cause around half of the spawned bees to deal about 8% more damage and a small amount of knockback, in addition to flying noticeably faster.

Trivia

 * Beenade is a portmanteau of bee and grenade.
