The Clockwork Assault Rifle is a gun that fires in three-round bursts. It is sometimes dropped by the Wall of Flesh. Only the first shot out of the three will consume ammunition. The attack button can be held for repeat fire.

Notes

• This weapon has no knockback at all, meaning it cannot obtain the Unreal modifier. The best modifier it can receive is Demonic.
• Meteor Shot has reduced effectiveness with this weapon, as only the first and sometimes the second shot of the three-round burst will hit.
• It should be noted that although this weapon fires 3 round bursts, it will continually fire when holding down your primary fire button, making this weapon a pulse-fire weapon instead of a burst weapon.
• Fires three shots, each one with a delay of 4 frames, for a total of 12 frames. The delay between one burst and the next is 14 frames. One complete use of the weapon (including the delay) takes 26 frames.
• If the player has multiple different bullet types in their inventory, when the last bullet of a given type is fired, only the first bullet of the three-round burst will take on the proper appearance and effects; the other two bullets will be of the next type that would be used, but it will still only consume one bullet. This is most likely a bug related to the burst fire mechanic.

Tips

• This weapon's high rate of fire and low ammo consumption make it ideal for mowing down large packs of enemies. This is useful during invasions, especially if the invaders can be grouped up in chokepoints.
• These same strengths also make it effective against Bosses.
• This weapon's low ammo consumption makes it ideal for people who use expensive ammo, even well into the late-game.
• This weapon is rapid fire on the mobile version of Terraria.

Trivia

• This weapon is part of an ongoing steam-punk themed equipment set in the game.
