So apparently, this Terraria weapon doesn’t suck
For the longest of time now many of you have been begging me to check out one NPC weapon in particular as so I’ve have heard for a pre-boss weapon its damage potential is UN ironically quite good and so today after seeing in action last week in Waffle time’s latest playthrough
I thought we’d finally explore the wondrous power that this weapon holds of course I’m talking about the paintball gun now off the bat I’m going to say this is something I’ve never previously used but you know we’re all for this discovering something new on these Socrates channel so let’s see if it can
Really help you out in those early stages of progression before we do jump into it though if you enjoy these weapon reviews why not let YouTube know as it truly helps out all right then let’s see how you can get it as mentioned the paintball gun is indeed an NPC weapon
Drop meaning similar to things like the combat wrench and Resident scepter we will need to farm a friendly NPC to obtain it and lucky for us with the paintball gun shockingly dropping from the painter seriously who would have fought that you have a chance to obtain as early as pre-boss with the painters
Move in requirements only consisting of you having eight of MPCs already which with a bit of Min maxing should be achievable in your first few days of creating your new world all right then once you’ve given your painter a nice warm welcome we need to kill him and
Probably quite a lot is with the paintball gun having a 10% drop rate the classic lava pit of death may not be the best method for killing your painters quickly so what about a bouncy ball ER instead Wait no that’s just not worked at all so unless you want to build
Yourself something more permanent I’d highly recommend crafting yourself a fly Meal instead which requires you to combine a gold or platinum brard with five stink bugs in honey once you’ve obtained it you can very simply kill any NPC wherever you please with ease and with a few deceased painters later I got
My beautiful paintball gun to drop okay let’s see what all this hype’s about from First Impressions the paintball gun just from a functionality standpoint already seems quite remarkable firing a colorful stream of arching projectiles much faster than I expected and the crazy part is with a base damage of 12
This thing basically matches the mini shark off the bat something players would usually obtain a day or two later the only real negatives to compare is the paint guns in accuracy of range but really this shouldn’t be too much of an issue early on also even if you get this
Thing after smashing some ORS in your evil biome I found the Undertaker to actually deal around 25% less DPS which is insane considering the significant amount more risk attached to obtaining that also what I found even more crazy is how it about matches the damage of the combat wrench a post Skeletron MPC
Weapon dropped from the mechanic like the painter is really giving us the best of the best here oh and something I completely forgot to mention which I think takes the paintball gun to another level is the fact it has baked in infinite ammor like not even post Moon
Lord range weapons do this so just fire this thing to your heart’s content however though one little snag attach to this seemingly top to your peg is the fact you’re stuck with this ammo forever meaning that from a scaling point of view the mini shark will very quickly
Leave the paint gun for Dead with silver bullets now dealing over 200 DPS on multiple targets but you know realistically this isn’t going to be for a while so let’s see what it can do for you when you’ve got it and again if the doing test already wasn’t evidence of
Its performance I found it to take down this group of slimes at identical speed to out of the mini shark as it does seem to deal about double damage but with half the fire rate and speaking of that double base damage I’m sure this will only affect very few scenarios but I
Found the paintball to perform better against tankier targets as that higher damage can bypass defense much easily this could all be within the margin of error though so now we’ve understood whereabouts this weapon is placed in terms of performance what will you actually use it for in a playr and well
If I were to obtain this thing as early as you can obtain it it’s just going to make your whole preh hard mod experience a hell of a lot easier giving you not only that mini shark offense but also no ammunition to keep topping up every few
Nights so if you were to try and defeat the I Gulu with this thing how would you do well if it worked for Waffle Time it worked for me and if anything with some damage reforges and a good prefix I found this to actually be complete overkill for this fight which once again
Is crazy for a pre- boss weapon so I mean how much further can it take you and well this really depends on what other the weapons you’ve got cuz if you don’t have any setup for a jest Arrow Eater of well cheese the paintball gun
Will do you just fine and I suppose if you wanted to take it to the next level you can technically use it to defeat Skeletron just be aware that there are far better options available at this point though and when you do get into your dungeon while having a full auto
Gun at your fingertips is still great by just obtaining the handgun from a chest you’ve got an automatic upgrade so then we retire the pink gun at about this point but you know this thing really hasn’t impressed me today as although its stats do find themselves on the
Lower end of things it’s more so much the later game usability of this weapon that makes me want to go for it so I guess if you’ve got a painter wandering around I really don’t see a reason not to go and ruin his day this has been
Soas and I’ll see you in the next one
So apparently, this Terraria weapon doesn’t suck The Paintball Gun. As requested for what feels like forever now, today we finally take a look at one of Terraria’s earliest obtainable NPC weapon- the Paintball Gun. And oh boy, where do I even start? Aside from having infinite ammo, the paintball gun can offer the player Minishark levels of offence in your first few days of playing. Saving you the trouble of giving all your money to the arms dealer. If you haven’t already, I’d seriously consider giving this thing a blast! Enjoy!

Hey could you try creating some other form of terraria content rather than the same derivative videos?
Guys can we not like beg and try to get the top comment
Second 🙁
I forgot this weapon even existed
An NPC Weapon Doing Good Damage? I Love Terraria!
under 1 minute
lol
If gotten early on this weapon can be a really good no strings attacked weapon still day 205 of asking for a pirate staff review cough cough dreadnautilis
It’s honestly good for how early you get it, but it falls off really quickly in my opinion.
Love to see that you're almost at 200k subs, def deserved!
Always a good time when you upload cant wait to see what this wep is all about
I love this weapon, carried me in my ammoless ranger run
First
my sanity is collapsing like the twin tow-
All strong weapons in games should ve unique and fun. And terraria really nails it, building up anticipation with basic ore weapons at the start, only to give stuff like tiger summons and the literal sun compacted into a sword.
I didn’t even know this weapon existed 😭
Do you have a new mic? Your voice sounds very clean in this one.
2:40
have you considered the fact that combat wrench is actually a shit weapon? Im glad you are making more comparisons to other weapons these days, but a few of your old videos would completely fall apart if you made these comparisons back then lol.
I appreciate the shoutout to Waffletime, I love this community
Please do a video on the musket Vs the undertaker
If anyone has been hit by a paintball, the damage is understandable
I use it against the wall of flesh for fun sometimes
Paint gun is so fun, up there with the katana personally.
would be fun if slimes change color when you shoot them with it.
I swear to god this did your profile picture change or has it always been a duck?
I thought it was a hand making a face!
I find it quite interesting how some NPC weapons are so good like the paintball gun, the combat wrench and the princess staff(forgot its name), white some others are classy cane.
I’m currently using its Calamity upgrade in the Speed Blaster and it’s so fun, this weapon and modded weapon family is so cool
Ah yes the splatoon crossover.
I used to use this weapon to kill wall of flesh when i played on normal mode
This weapon is more use than most golem drops
I am playing co-op with 2 friends. one of my friends got this weapon and she really really liked it haha. its also because it shoots collorfull projectiles… she used it untill hardmode when the other friend and I said you really need to upgrade haha
