Clentaminator

The Clentaminator is a Hardmode tool that creates or destroys biomes, using various Solutions as ammunition. The particular Solution used determines its effects. It has the same firing pattern as the Flamethrower, but has a much longer range and fires through blocks.

The Clentaminator is the fastest means of spreading Hallow, Corruption, Crimson, and Mushroom Biome, or purifying biomes of Hallow, Corruption, or Crimson.

The Clentaminator can be bought from the Steampunker for 2 platinum coins.

Solutions
There are currently five different Solutions. Most are sold by the Steampunker, who sells different solutions based on certain conditions. For more information, see Clentaminator.

Tips

 * Since boosts which reduce ammo usage also affect the consumption of solution, it is recommended that you have at least two ammo-conserving items or buffs before using the clentaminator. The following items may be used: Chlorophyte Helmet and Vortex Breastplate give a constant chance to not consume ammo; while Ammo Reservation Potion and the Ammo Box provide temporary (but long-lasting) ammo-conserving buffs. Combining all four of these results in a 61.6% chance to not consume ammunition (including solution). For players who cant get a hold of the Vortex Breastplate, the Shroomite Breastplate is a good replacement.
 * It is possible to change an entire world by digging Hellevators about every 116 blocks (232 ft/ 70 meters on the Compass) and slowly descending each one, spraying both sides.
 * It could be a potentially effective tool to search for Life Fruit when using Dark Blue Solution, as it will break them out of place and convert the Jungle foliage to Glowing Mushroom foliage -- illuminating and creating a contrast between the background and the life fruit, although can be dangerous because it also breaks Plantera's Bulbs and summons it.

Trivia

 * "Clentaminator" is a portmanteau of the words 'Cleanse' and 'Contaminator', these being its two major uses.
 * It is tied with the Diamond Ring and Tiki Totem as the third most expensive item players can buy (the second most expensive item is the Parrot Cracker with the most expensive being the Companion Cube), but it is the only one among these with a practical use.
 * When using the Clentaminator, an apparatus can be seen on the character's back. A similar effect also occurs when equipping the Heat Ray, Leaf Blower, and Elf Melter. The apparatus is, as with the items listed above, invisible when the player has wings and is midair.
