Venus Magnum

Plantera sidearm and converted high-velocity rounds

Dropped by Plantera in the Underground Jungle with a 14.29% drop rate. This powerful handgun fires with a Very fast use time of 9, inflicting 50 base ranged damage alongside 5.5 knockback. When loaded with standard Musket Balls, it automatically converts them into High Velocity Bullets that strike targets near-instantaneously and penetrate a single foe. Modern game versions grant full autofire support without manual tapping.

Armor-penetrating DPS and Dungeon firearm upgrades

Boasting double the per-bullet punch of the Megashark, the Venus Magnum excels at puncturing heavily armored threats across the post-Plantera Dungeon and Jungle Temple. While it lacks internal ammo conservation, bringing an Endless Musket Pouch provides reliable high-velocity volume. It serves as an effective bridge weapon before players secure specialized late-game firearms such as the Sniper Rifle or Tactical Shotgun. Unreal provides the premier modifier.

Trivia

• Musket Balls fired from the Venus Magnum automatically transform into high-velocity rounds with single pierce.
• Modern game updates added automatic fire to the weapon, eliminating the need to click repeatedly.
