This is my first suggestion so I'm not sure exactly how this is gonna go...feel free to give me some tips in the comments!
Let's be honest. No one really uses the Grenade Launcher dropped by Plantera - I've seen several let's plays where the weapon was just shift-clicked into oblivion after obtaining it. Players sought out the snowman cannon, something obtainable right after plantera, instead of just using the grenade launcher. Because of the lack of usage, I would like to propose a different gun that may possibly replace the Grenade Launcher - the Cannibal Plant (a better name would be appreciated).
The weapon (
) has the same drop chance as the Grenade Launcher.
Drop Chance: 14.29%
Damage:20-->30 (per leaf) (ranged)
Secondary Damage:45-->60 (per explosive) (ranged)
Critical Chance: 4%
Use Time: 30
Secondary Use Time: 50
On to the mechanics:
Its primary attack acts like a shotgun, spraying out 5-7 clusters of razor leaves (
) that each deal around 30 dmg.
Because it's the new age of using both right and left mouse buttons, it has a secondary attack with the use time of 60 that launches out a poison bomb (
) that has a similar bouncing style akin to the Grenade Launcher that upon impact, deals 45 dmg and encases a 5x5 tile area with a venom cloud which lasts 3 seconds that has a 100% chance to inflict venom on enemies (that are not immune to it).
I thought this would be a better replacement to the GL because while keeping the grenade part, it also adds a more convenient shotgun section so players can use another attack when they need to.
EDIT: From the comments, the Grenade Launcher (despite its immediate outclassing) is still an iconic weapon...Thus, I'd say that this could be some sort of alternative weapon crafted or dropped separately...Thanks for all the fixes and suggestions!
EDIT 2: As per BaconFry's suggestion, prehaps the venom (spore) cloud's effects will be moved onto the Shroomite rocket set's set bonus, and the secondary's explosive ball becomes a regular explosion that deals 60 damage...
