Weapons & Equip Add a Pre-Boss Early Game Sentry

[nilzer]

my initial idea with this was to rework the snowball launcher weapon into a sentry, but the community was against that idea and instead suggested adding a new sentry entirely—something like a snowman that stays still and throws snowballs (thanks to @Dust🌳 for that idea). this would let the snowball launcher fill its own niche while also adding an early game sentry! thanks again to dust for recommending this option. the early game, the pre-boss stage in particular, really lacks any kind of sentries. i believe adding a sentry that shoots non piercing snowballs at a somewhat high rate of fire LIKE the snowball launcher is a good idea. it would probably be crafted with flinx fur to line up with the flinx staff and fur coat summoner gear. what exactly the sentry would be, i am mot sure, but a snowman was already recommended. the sentry would probably do 5-9 damage if it had a high fire rate and was obtainable pre-boss.

if a dev reads this, hello and thank you for considering!

If it's being made with Flinx Fur, might the Flinx Fur Coat also grant bonuses to sentries? Or maybe a second version of the coat that only affects sentries?

an alternative sentry coat sounds really neat, yeah!

the idea kinda reminds me of the post plantera/golem armors like beetle and spectre armor for example @BookWyrm
