The Terraria weapon that breaks Pre-Hardmode… The Sand Gun. In this video, I take a look at this early Pre-Hardmode ranged weapon that can be obtained extremely early, not requiring any bosses to be defeated. It is also incredibly powerful and can easily carry you all the way to the Wall of Flesh. This all sounds perfect on paper, but of course they’re a catch. The sand gun actually fires sand blocks meaning your world can become covered in sand very quickly. This not only looks gross but also makes mobility difficult and can ruin your boss arenas. The question is, is ruining your world worth it for having a weapon that can carry you into Hardmode? Lets take a look.

I've always wished they made a Hardmode version of the Sandgun, would be interesting to see what it could do!
I would recommend using this in the dessert so you don't make even more of a mess of your world
You can’t get biome evil sands until hard mode so it doesn’t have infinite pierce prehardmode
Hey, just wanted to say that these videos that you are making are really good. Length, editing, information and everything else are in a perfect equilibrium and it's so fun to watch. Keep going, I have no doubt your channel will grow alot in the near future.
Did you change your mic? Your voice sounds a little different
The sand gun is fucking impossible to get in pre gen consoles as antilion mandibles were much harder to get
This is how I beat my first ever wall of flesh fight over 5 years ago
Bees are also really good
If you line your arena with torches, can you break the sand after it falls? (Similarly to the trick used in Minecraft)
The best buff this weapon could get is a slight damage nerf and making it not leave sand blocks
I don't think I'm the first to point this out but I'm still going to regardless. If you the sand gun in a area where the floor is covered in mine cart tracks or torches then the sand won't be left on the ground making a mess as it just drops to the ground as an item or is deleted. Tracks are cheap so it's worth it for boss and event arena's. Thing's your going to spend time making anyway. Added bonus is that there back ground entity's so they don't slow you down and if the sight doesn't bother you you can have a layer 10 or so blocks above the ground going from one end of the world to the othere. Good for travel and catching stray shot
Try using the falling sand to damage instead
as they said once, sand is overpowered.
Doesn't firing corrupted sand lead to spreading biomes?
Wait a sec, I HAVE THAT GUN! Im a pre-hardmode so yea
that intro is so clean
Crimsand and Pearlsand and should both have a different affect
His O's sound like œ
I took down the WOF on my very first playthrough with the sandgun, 10/10 weapon for it. For general use though, probably not the best…
Me playing ranger in my friends brand new world "your world may look like trash and we constantly mine sand, but that is a sacrifice… I am willing to make"
It's very good for pvp as not only does it deal damage but also slows down your would be attacker
I approve of this video
I think this weapons is horrible, but in the good way, it is good but it is tedious because of the sand, i think it is kinda funny
How to make your entire world into a corrupt desert 101
The sandgun is good for sandgun arenas lol. Full vertical walls, and ground surfaces that sand cant stick to
Every thing that is overpowerd need something in exchange
My younger cousin was so esstatic about this weapon when I told him about how it becomes piercing when using ebonsand.
Was not aware he didn't know corruption can spread…
I wonder how difficult it would be to make a mod that creates either Disappearing Sand or simply a special Sand Ammo that doesn't place blocks
This weapon is my absolute favourite for multiplayer because while I do care about the world being clean, I care way more about annoying my friends, and the sand gun does an absolutely amazing job at that while also being a viable weapon too.
I actually used the sand gun in my first playthrough to defeat king slime! Needless to say it holds a bit of a special place in my heart for carrying my first boss kill 😅
i wonder who beat the game with this weapon
I used the sandgun in my master ftw playthrough. If you place down torches or furniture items without surfaces (bathtubs, sofas, etc.), the sand doesn't really get in your way, and you suddenly have an extremely powerful weapon with no drawbacks. It's important to note, however, that if the sandball hits the enemy while directly over whatever you put down, the sand will still place, so if you're firing directly horizontally at a boss, there's a good chance you'll accidentally place some blocks.
You actually can place Minecart Tracks on top of the platforms on your arena to prevent sand from turning into blocks. But you still won't be able to shoot down to the platform, sadly
Anakin Skywalker's most hated weapon
Minecart tracks stop sand from being placed sooo… sandgun + minecart tracks = recipe for annihilation
I tried to beat eye of chuhulu with this i die due of sand don't let me move well at plataforms
I only had the steptol and the red balloon
This gun is a pain, you need to use rails wherever you don't want sand.
The only time I've ever use the same gun it's before the antlion desert with a thing so it took way longer to get the mandibles
bruh this is not that good im trying to use it but i keep getting destroyed by boc in master mode
infinite sand can actually created by buying ale from tavernkeep, shimmer it into mug-glass then sand
Try it on a coiled Destroyer, it's hilarious for a preboss weapon.
Which sand does what?
