Pumpkin Moon acquisition and ricocheting candy corn
The Candy Corn Rifle drops from Pumpking during the late waves of the Pumpkin Moon event. The weapon utilizes Candy Corn as specialized ammunition, which the Arms Dealer sells in bulk whenever the rifle is carried in the player's active inventory. Its fired projectiles travel at rapid velocity, piercing up to four consecutive hostiles or bouncing off solid blocks up to four times before breaking.
Rapid-fire bullet velocity and enclosed arena tactics
Shooting with 60 base ranged damage, an innate 10% critical chance, and a rapid 9 use time, the weapon delivers fierce automatic fire. Its ricochet capability allows players to bank rounds around structural corners in subterranean tunnels or bounce volleys within boxed boss arenas without losing DPS. Unreal is the finest prefix available. Compared to the erratic spread of the Chain Gun, it offers pinpoint accuracy and reliable projectile reflection.
Trivia
- Whenever the rifle drops from Pumpking, it always comes paired with 50 to 100 pieces of Candy Corn ammunition.
- Bounced candy projectiles retain full damage across each ricochet until exceeding their maximum penetration count.
