Stynger

The Stynger is a ranged weapon that drops off the boss Golem. The ammo it uses is Stynger Bolt which initially drops off the Golem as well, and can later be purchased from the Witch Doctor and Arms Dealer. The shots do an area of effect explosion which will deal damage to anything in the explosion radius. Arching shrapnel is thrown from the explosion, each causing additional explosions smaller than the original but with the same base damage. For the purpose of Shroomite armor, the Stynger counts as a rocket-using weapon. Its explosions do not hurt the player, allowing it to be used in close combat. The Stynger is ridiculously effective against the Golem, allowing a player to defeat it in about two minutes with just above 200 bolts (50 if in best ranged gear and Golem is under effects of Ichor).
