I’ve always found it weird that all the beetle husks do is make armor and wings, but not weapons.

 

[CornMaized]

I was just thinking about this today! These are fun ideas but would need more tinkering.

 

[Jetthatoneguy]

I think this is a pretty good idea just a little more tinkering

Beetle Basher

Strictly worse version of a Flower Pow and that's one of the last titles any weapon would want to have in this game. Incredibly boring take on a Beetle Flail honestly.

Beetle Bowler

Knockback: 4.25

This one is pretty cool. It's comparable to Eye-yo of Cthulhu without being necessarily better than it. Unique ability and cool design.

Shroomite Shooter
Damage: 55
Knockback: 1.5
Critical chance: 4%
Use time: 10
Velocity: 12
Shoots a spread of 3-7 bullets, for the price of one.

wtf

This thing would be above Chain Gun in dps if it just fired one bullet, and you are telling me it can shoot up to seven? With three as the minimum?

Shroomite Yeeter Rocketeer
Damage: 59
Knockback: 5
Critical chance: 4%
Use time: 12
Velocity: 14
Doesn't break blocks

Well, at least it got a rival here. Stronger overall than Snowman Cannon (which isn't necessarily a problem since DPS is that weapon's shortcoming) that also heals you for the equivalent of 5 VK chestplates. Five.

At least that healing doesn't stack, I think.

Memento
Damage: 70
Knockback: 2
Critical chance: 4%
Velocity: 15
Use time: 20
Mana: 12
Releases a slow-moving ectoplasm globule that will last for 3 seconds, then explodes into small ectoplasm blasts that home in on enemies. Dying while using the Memento will kill all non-boss enemies onscreen.

Probably my favourite weapon idea I've seen. Name fits the abilities, recipe and design perfectly.

The same, except 75 damage, passes through blocks, and 20 use time.

Kinda out of place to suggest a buff here, isn't it?. Anyways this thing needs way more than that to be good, but it's a start.

I can't just think of any good ideas...

Please compliment Storm for the ability plz, not me.

I'll get to reworking the two shroomite weapons.

Probably my favourite weapon idea I've seen. Name fits the abilities, recipe and design perfectly.

Thanks!

Wait I did wha...

Oh yes, I remember coming up with that idea

 

[Yellowcasian]

I have an idea for a Spectre weapon:
Spectral Bluntsword
Crafted with 12 Spectre Bars
80dmg 30 use time
The sword is about the size of the Fiery Greatsword
When swung would swing round in a complete circle regardless of blocks in the way

Also it would be better if the Shroomite Beambow shot a hitscan laser instead of being another multishot bow that many people would not see a reason to obtain

As I said in this weapons suggestion, Spectre is for Mages
