Musket

Information


The Musket is one of the earliest and weakest guns in the game. It does 14 damage, has extremely slow speed, and fires Musket Balls, which can be bought from an Arms Dealer for 8 copper each.

Muskets can be found by smashing Shadow Orbs, which rewards you with a variety of Musket Balls as well, usually an amount between 25 and 50, or in chests underground.

Though it's rate-of-fire is slow, which hurts it's overall damage, it's damage is fairly high at 21 (14 from the Musket itself, plus 7 damage from the Musket Ball), the projectiles it fires are incredibly fast, and it deals sizeable knockback. The high damage means that it can kill many weaker enemies in 2-3 shots, making it more ammo-efficient than other guns such as the Flintlock Pistol or Mini Shark. It's main weakness is it's low rate-of-fire, which makes the user vulnerable to swarms of enemies that can't be knocked back fast enough by the weapon.
