NPCs & Enemies Enemies should be dropping ammo if they use ammo.

[SzGamer227]

This. Look at it. This is the only enemy in Terraria which drops ammo. (Actually, well over 20 do, but in the wrong way.)

What the hell.

This should be changed. There are lots of enemies that use ammo, and deserve to drop it as well.

Goblin Archer
Should Drop:

Wooden Arrows (1-9)

Skeleton Archer
Pirate Crossbower
Should Drop:

Flaming Arrows (1-9)

Elf Archer
Should Drop:

Frostburn Arrows (1-9)
They should be shooting Frostburn Arrows as well. At least one enemy that inflicts Frostburn, or else that cool tooltip is wasted.

Snowman Gangsta
Pirate Deadeye
Should Drop:
Either

Musket Balls (1-9)
or

Silver Bullets (1-9)
It is undecided as to which would be better.

Pirate Captain
Should Drop:
Either

Musket Balls (15-25)
or

Silver Bullets (15-25)
It is undecided as to which would be better.

Skeleton Sniper
Tactical Skeleton
Should Drop:
Either

Musket Balls (1-9)
or

High-Velocity Bullets (1-9)
It is undecided as to which would be better.

Elf Copter
Santa-NK1
Should Drop:
Either

Musket Balls (15-25)
or

High-Velocity Bullets (15-25)
It is undecided as to which would be better.

Skeleton Commando
Should Drop:

Rocket I's (1-4)

Snow Balla
Should Drop:

Snow Balls (2-8)

OT: Frost Legion enemies (namely Snowman Gangsta, Snow Balla, and Mr. Stabby) should not be dropping Snow Blocks, and should rather be dropping more useful things.
(OT can either mean a few different things in this instance. Off Topic, Other Topic, Other Thread come to mind.)

Feedback is appreciated. Let me know if I missed anything.

Don't pirate crossbowers use flaming arrows as well? Regardless, it's a good suggestion. Tactical/Sniper Skele's should drop high velocity rounds, I think.

even though i rarely use ranged weapons anymore, i actually have to agree with your suggestion. it makes sense to have mobs like these drop ammo. i fully support the idea

 

[TMB50]

The Santa-NK1 should also be included in the list, as it also uses ammo.

Just barely realized this, wow. >_>

Well, it's fixed now anyhow.

I love this idea! I've always wondered why a zombie that didn't shoot anything was the only enemy who always dropped ammo. Right? that zombie is the only one?

 

[SzGamer227]

Right? that zombie is the only one?

The one that got shot? Yeah.

Seriously though. A zombie full of used and probably broken arrows is dropping ammo when archers and gunners with a stash of good, usable ammo drop nothing. It's one my little pet peeves, and lucky I've managed to solve it with the magic of tAPI.

I like it!

Even though my inventory shall become cluttered with wooden and flaming arrows...

Still, support.
