The Paintball Gun is a ranged weapon which has a 10*1/10 (10%) chance of being dropped by the Painter. It fires a three-shot burst of slow-moving, arcing projectiles which consume no mana or ammunition.

Its best modifier is Unreal.

Notes

• This content is transcluded from NPCs/dropnote.Since town NPCs cannot be damaged by players normally, external damage sources must be used to obtain this item. Effective options include traps, lava, Boulders or Rolling Cacti, enemies, Explosive Bunnies, or the Halloween-exclusive Rotten Eggs (in tandem with Frost armor).
• The Painter will use the Paintball Gun to defend himself.
• The Paintball Gun's projectiles will have a slight "waver" when in the air.

The paintball gun being used on some Skeletons.

Tips

• Though it is somewhat inaccurate at longer ranges, the respectable damage output, increased critical strike chance and lack of needing ammunition or mana makes the Paintball Gun a potent and reliable early-game weapon.
