Laser Rifle

The Laser Rifle is a magic weapon that is sometimes dropped by the Wall of Flesh. It fires thin blue lasers that emit purple light and penetrate multiple enemies for magic damage. It has very high accuracy, long range, and can be fired rapidly by holding down the attack button.

This is a fairly powerful weapon against worms due to its penetration capabilities and high fire rate, making good use of the time worms spend above ground. This weapon is also fairly cheap, using only 8 mana, effectively meaning it can easily snipe some lesser mobs and have some use in PvP. The main reason for that is the low mana cost, but since it is a drop from the Wall of Flesh, it may not be the easiest weapon to acquire. In boss fights this can easily butcher the Eater of Worlds or, if you can dodge attacks well, can be effective against The Destroyer. Its light, as with any other light emitting weapon, can be used while mining or exploring.

Trivia
The Laser Rifle bears similarities to the M41 Pulse Rifle used by Colonial Marines in Aliens.
