Beenade



Beenades are consumable ranged weapons that can be dropped by the Queen Bee boss or crafted on the using Grenades and Bee Wax. They act similarly to the regular Grenade, though do not cause friendly-fire damage. Upon exploding, 15-25 bees are released that home in on enemies. Each bee can attack or ricochet a total of 3 times. Each bee hit inflicts the total Beenade damage.

Tips

 * Beenades are perhaps best used in large, open spaces. While the lack of friendly-fire damage allows them to be used safely in enclosed spaces, the real damage is caused by the bee swarm. Tight spaces have a higher chance of having bees bouncing off surfaces, thereby reducing potential damage.
 * Beenades are exceptionally effective against certain bosses. Against the Wall of Flesh, they swarm the Hungries, taking them out very quickly. 50-100 can kill the Wall of Flesh in normal mode. 100-150 can kill the Wall of Flesh in expert mode.
 * If there are a high number of loose entities in your world (objects/coins/blocks), be aware that spawning many Bees can likely cause the oldest entities to despawn, causing the oldest objects to be lost forever. It may therefore be wise to collect all loose, valuable items before you intend to spam Bee-spawning items.
 * Equipping the Hive Pack will cause around half of the spawned bees to deal about ~8% more damage and a small amount of knockback, in addition to flying noticeably faster.

Trivia

 * 'Beenade' is a portmanteau of 'bee' and 'grenade'.
