Chain Gun

The Chain Gun is a Hardmode, post-Plantera Gun that fires Bullets. It can be considered a direct upgrade of the Gatligator, with higher speed and damage, while sharing its 50% chance of not consuming Ammunition and its overall inaccurate firing; though the Chain Gun is slightly more accurate. It has a per-hit damage and rate-of-fire exceeding that of the Megashark, though like the Gatligator it fires in random directions over a wide spread. The Chain Gun is dropped randomly by Santa-NK1 during the Frost Moon event.

Its best Modifier is Godly or Rapid.

Tips

 * Chlorophyte Bullets pair well, as their homing ability negates the gun's singular weakness of accuracy.
 * With or without ranged armor, the weapon is quite potent and capable of incredible damage.
 * Explosive Bullets and Ichor Bullets also pair well.
 * When forged with the Rapid prefix, the Chain Gun will gain 25% to speed instead of 15%. This is the same case with the frenzying prefix, and happens due to rounding down its already insane shooting speed (4 to 3).
 * The Godly prefix is better for players preferring to save ammo, at the cost of less damage. Rapid is better if the target's defense is under 24 and weak bullets are being used. The damage per second for Godly will follow the function: . The damage per second for Rapid will follow the function:
 * Due to its high damage and speed, the Chain Gun is a good choice to use against the hardmode bosses.

Trivia

 * The gun appears to be Santa-NK1's arm.
 * It has one of the highest damage rates of any auto-fire Gun, sharing damage with the unobtainable S.D.M.G., though being far less accurate.
