Meteorite forge and zero mana laser barrages
Constructed at an anvil from twenty Meteorite Bars, the Space Gun fires piercing green laser bolts at high velocity. The straight beam trajectory travels across the entire screen without suffering from projectile drop or gravitational decay. Normally drawing 6 mana per discharge, its energy cost drops to zero mana when the player equips a complete Meteor Armor set (Meteor Helmet, Meteor Suit, and Meteor Leggings). This synergy removes all resource limits, allowing continuous rapid fire across open arenas.
Multi-target boss dominance and mythical reforge
Delivering 20 magic damage at an 17 use time, each laser beam penetrates through two targets to hit up to three enemies total. This penetration shreds multi-segmented foes like Eater of Worlds and keeps groups of dungeon defenders suppressed. Its extreme velocity makes it far easier to land consecutive hits on fast-moving aerial targets compared to slower magical orbs. Against agile bosses like Skeletron, sustained beam tracking offers consistent damage without potion delays. Mythical provides the greatest boost to attack speed, critical chance, and damage.
Trivia
- When wearing full Meteor Armor, the weapon emits laser fire continuously without depleting the player mana star reserve.
