Deerclops drop and eccentric debris ballistics
The Pew-matic Horn drops from Deerclops with a 25% chance in Classic mode or from its Treasure Bag in Expert and Master mode. It converts standard Musket Balls into varied junk and debris fired at Very fast firing speed (15 use time). Each shot inflicts 20 base ranged damage with 1 knockback, launching buttons, marbles, twigs, and gems along bouncy ballistic arcs. The irregular weight of each debris type causes differing arc trajectories and flight velocities.
Pre-Dungeon ranged role and prefix optimization
The weapon fills a solid mid-pre-Hardmode ranged role, rivaling the Handgun and Revolver before players ever breach the Dungeon. Its debris projectiles bounce off solid blocks, allowing clever bank shots down narrow cavern shafts and enclosed hallways when fighting swarming hostiles. Unreal is the premier prefix, delivering top bonuses to damage, velocity, knockback, and critical strike chance.
Trivia
- Originates from the Don't Starve Together crossover, reflecting the scavenged scrap aesthetic of the Constant.
- Projectiles fired by the horn randomly select from various sprites including buttons, twigs, and gemstones.
