Coin Gun

The Coin Gun is a Hardmode ranged weapon that uses coins as ammunition, which cannot be retrieved once fired. Its damage and velocity depend on the type of coin fired. It is dropped very rarely (0.0125% or 1/8000 chance) by Pirate Invasion enemies, excluding the Parrot. The drop rate for the Pirate Captain is quadrupled (0.05% or 1/2000 chance) and increasing again with the Flying Dutchman (0.25% or 1/1000).

The Coin Gun cannot receive any Modifiers that increase damage, so one of its best prefixes is Agile, as the slightly higher critical chance boosts the weapon's damage rate slightly. Rapid may be preferred as it instead boosts speed and velocity. Zealous serves as the most economical option, with the highest raise in critical chance without adding attack speed.
