Jungle shrine looting and multi-pellet spread
The Boomstick is found in Ivy Chests within Jungle Shrines and Living Mahogany Trees in the Underground Jungle, or fished from Jungle Crates. It discharges a shotgun spread of three to four bullets per blast while expending only one round of ammunition. It inflicts 14 base ranged damage per pellet with 5.75 knockback at Very slow firing speed (40 use time), providing devastating close-range stopping power.
Early boss burst capabilities, pellet falloff, and reforges
The weapon delivers immense burst damage against broad targets like the Eye of Cthulhu and Brain of Cthulhu when fired at point-blank range. Its pellet spread widens over long distances, making it less dependable for precision sniping compared to the Musket. Pairing it with Meteor Shot adds bouncing pellet chaos in tight cavern tunnels. Unreal is the premier prefix, improving damage, velocity, knockback, and critical strike chance.
Trivia
- Its name and double-barreled shotgun silhouette reference the cult classic film Army of Darkness.
- It is one of the earliest multi-shot ranged weapons accessible before defeating Skeletron.
