Official Terrarian
Sean the Soldier is a hardcore character in an expert world. The challenge for him is to complete the game (AKA kill every boss) without dying, and only using guns.
All intentional damage must be done with guns.
Guns are defined as all weapons that are affected by the shroomite mask's buff. This involves, among all bullet-using weapons,
NPCs can be used as a source of damage (although highly inefficient), as you are not the one killing the enemy.

I start off, naked and afraid. Because terrarians don't start off with guns, I'm effectively unarmed. My only option is to avoid and block off enemies.
Bradley, helpful as he is, saved me from a pesky blue slime who happened to be eating a recall potion. That may come in handy.
And the night sets. I have created a square shack for NPCs and I to live in. (RIP Bradley, by the way. He didn't last long.)
I have nothing. I love it.
Sure enough, an angry vulture just came dashing at me. The potion was of use after all.
Sigh... another night spent hiding away. I really need to get myself a gun. However, to do so I need to either smash an orb, or be lucky in jungle shrines. I prefer shadow orbs. I just need bombs for that...
LOOPHOLE ALERT!
You know how the demo-man spawns when you have an explosive in your inventory? Bomb fish work! #LifeHacks
I also got myself a frog leg. Nice!
This guy is a massive troll
I went through all the fish getting enough bomb fish, and guess what he decides to do? Sell a revolver. I didn't even have enough money; I had to sell my mining helmet!
Ah well.

I am now ready for bosses. I've ventured into the jungle, I've spelunked into corrupt chasms, I've jumped boulder traps.
By the way, this ice hut generated with 4 anvils. Huh.
I feel fantastic. The goblins are no competition. (Spectre boots will be nice to have.)
Let's warm up a little
Man vs Slime. This is almost picturesque.
Here's the real deal: Man vs Eye. (Yes, I'm using the easy method. This IS hardcore, so I can't afford to die.)
Aye, eye down. :^)

I will now take on all the pre-hardmode bosses, since I'm now at that level.
Let's begin: Eater of Worlds (I luckily got ancient scale mail to help with this; meteor armor is fine but more defense is always good)
Next off: The queen of the bees. Sadly, none of her drops are useful to me in a gun-only run, but the witch doctor's leaf wings are vital unless I get frozen wings early on in hardmode.
And then: Skeletron. This fight, I felt, was the best skeletron fight I've had in a while. I guess that the greatly increased mobility helped with that.
Instead of a trophy room, I'm showing off my kills with planter boxes. :^)
And here's my current gear, which is surprisingly powerful.
I don't like ancient shadow armor; made regular shadow armor instead.

Let us devote this time to prepare for the deadly Waffle. First, we'll delve into the dungeon for the essentials for the fight.
After almost being overwhelmed by bones and dying, I'm here. And I've yet to find a handgun.
Here it is, the loot from our trip to the skeletons.
Next, we'll continue on... deeper than ever before. Enter the Hellevator.
HELL.
Upon scavenging the hellish landscape and diving into burning magma, I managed to gather together some materials for the future...
I have the blaster.
Now all we have to do is build a platform and wait... We only have one shot at this. It's victory or death.
