Musket

The Musket is one of the earliest obtainable guns, and is the Corruption's counterpart to the Crimson's Undertaker. It auto-fires bullets at an extremely slow rate. It is fairly potent compared to a Wooden Bow, as it does 31 base damage, plus the damage from the particular bullet fired. The Musket is dropped by destroyed Shadow Orbs, along with 25-100 Musket Balls. A Musket with ammo is always dropped by the first Shadow Orb destroyed in a given world. It can also be acquired by looting Corrupt Crates, which are found by fishing in the Corruption.

Its best Modifier is Unreal.

Tips

 * The Musket's high damage early in the game, along with its slow fire rate, help to conserve ammo, and it can be used to effectively kill the various eaters in the Corruption.
 * Against the Crimson's Undertaker, the Musket is a bit more effective against it's own enemy, the Eater of Souls, as a crit can normally kill any eater in one shot. The Undertaker, however, is a tad bit less effective against it's high knockback resistant Crimson enemies, as the Undertaker won't do nearly as much knockback as a Musket could.

Trivia

 * The Dart Rifle can be though of as the stronger, dart-consuming version of the Musket.
 * The newer sprite now resembles a musket with a longer stock and shorter barrel.
