Handgun



The Handgun is a gun found in Locked Gold Chests in the Dungeon. It shoots rather quickly, although it does not autofire. It is superior in both damage and speed to the Flintlock Pistol.

The Dungeon will generally contain 1-2 Handguns. On the, extras can renewably be obtained from opening Golden Lock Boxes found in Dungeon Crates.

Tips

 * It is recommended to upgrade to Phoenix Blaster as soon as possible, as it gives 7 additional damage, and increases its velocity by 3.
 * Since Hellstone can be obtained pre-boss (if the Reaver Shark is obtained early on), one can easily upgrade to the Phoenix Blaster.

Trivia

 * The Handgun is modeled after the pistol.
 * The Handgun is one of only eleven guns in Terraria to share its name with a real gun, the others being the Uzi, Shotgun, Sniper Rifle, Revolver, Chain Gun, Flintlock Pistol, Tactical Shotgun, Musket, Red Ryder and the Quad-Barrel Shotgun.
