Portal Gun



The Portal Gun is a Hardmode, post-Moon Lord tool which is always dropped by the Moon Lord. It launches projectiles capable of creating up to two portals (one fired by hitting, the other by hitting ) upon impact with blocks. These two portals are linked; any player that touches one will be instantly transported to the other one, without losing momentum. While NPCs can be teleported with the Portal Gun, enemies or projectiles cannot.

The Portal Gun has a maximum range of 675 blocks (1350 feet). It takes two seconds for the projectile to travel this distance.

While selected, the Portal Gun will alter the player's physics: their maximum fall speed is multiplied by 3.5 (from 51 mph to 179 mph) and horizontal momentum/inertia is kept while in the air. This effect is also applied if the last entity that affected the player's fall was a portal. The extremely fast movement may cause performance losses on some computers.

Tips

 * The increased fall speed can be converted into horizontal movement speed by placing the "outlet" portal on a horizontal surface. Falling into a portal at 179 mph results in the extraordinarily high horizontal movement speed of 179 mph. This can be utilized by equipping high-tier wings and placing the "outlet" portal in a high, open area.
 * With enough training, players can entirely avoid an enemy's or boss's attack using the Portal Gun, then immediately return to that enemy/boss to continue fighting.

Trivia

 * The Portal Gun is a direct reference to the 2007 puzzle-platform video game Portal. In Portal, the gun is the primary game mechanic, shooting portals that allow the player to travel great distances in a short amount of time. Unlike in Terraria, the portals cannot be placed on every surface even if there is enough space for the portal.
 * The Portal Gun being dropped by the Moon Lord is a reference to the ending of , Portal's 2011 successor, where the player must shoot a portal into the moon in order to defeat the antagonist of the game.
 * Despite being dropped by Moon Lord, it still only has a rarity of.
