Wasp Gun



The Wasp Gun is a Hardmode magic weapon which is dropped by Plantera with a  or   chance. It fires 2–4 /  2–6 homing wasp projectiles that ricochet off surfaces, and home in on nearby enemies and deal damage to them. It is essentially an upgraded Hardmode version of the Bee Gun. Wasps deal no knockback.

Tips

 * It may not be very effective against Hardmode enemies due to the low per-wasp damage and high enemy defense, even though the gun is dropped by Plantera.
 * Because of that (and the fact that the wasps pierce, triggering enemy invincibility) it is more useful to not spawn too many of them and switch to a different weapon after casting some.
 * The Wasp Gun ignores up to 10 of the target's defense, which somewhat helps mitigate this problem.
 * The Wasp Gun is highly effective for farming money with the Lucky Coin during events. The low per-hit damage results in a larger number of hits, netting more money overall.
