Weapons & Equip Arquebus: Hallowed gun.

TheGuideIsEvil

Terrarian
8 Hallowed Bar
20 Souls of Fright
15 Crystal Shards
15 Souls of Light

Damage: 60

Rarity: Pink

Best modifier: Unreal

Knockback: Weak

Critical strike chance: 18%

The Arquebus is a post Skeletron Prime firearm. It resembles a gun of hallowed tier. The Arquebus is accurate and shoots a single, hard hitting round, moderately in rate.

It also causes a unique triple damage booster on critical shots, instead of the usual double damage. For example, a base shot, without including ammo or boosts from gear, can deal 180 damage on a critical.

With the added critical strike percentage base, the Arquebus is basically a stronger Musket, and also acts as a pre-Plantera Sniper Rifle without a scope. An Arquebus is avaiable in both Crimson and Corrupt worlds.

Tooltip: Critical shots deal triple damage instead of double “The musket’s older sister”

The Arquebus’s tooltip references how the arquebus preceded the musket in gun development. Said tooltip is also a counterpart to the Megashark one.

The Arquebus is pretty much a good, accurate, hard hitting but slow firearm that does good work. However, this is only until you defeat Plantera, which is usually when you get the sniper rifle.

Update: it now resembles a cannon like the original firearm, with hallowed coloration.

I also proposed a Pirate invasion counterpart, which is also an olden firearm. This was the Blunderbuss, which you can read about here: Link

Late update: Added a reference, it looks like a Hallowed colored arquebus
 
Why is it made with souls of night? I would replace those with Crystal Shard

Thanks. Done.

The Arquebus is available in both corrupt and crimson worlds, by the way

Should the recipe include the Musket to make it Corruption only? Or is this fine

I think it’s better to be available to both. A counterpart it eh onyx blaster
 
Final late update: Reduced ingredients to be easier to obtain.
 
I've always enjoyed Critical Damage bonuses, and by this point in the game there are plenty of sources of Crit Chance to make use of the bonus. I support!
