Weapons & Equip Sling: Shoots pellets.

[TheGuideIsEvil]

The Sling is an olden themed ranged weapon that is basically crafted with 2 Leather and 3 Rope in a Corruption world. However, the Sling can also be sold after the Eye of Cthulhu is defeated; the Sling is sold by the Merchant in Crimson worlds for around 5 gold. Either way, it is usually a weapon one gets post-EOC.

It resembles an olden, archaic sling with a leather pouch. It’s not exactly like the wooden slingshot that probably comes to mons, but is vaguely similar.

The Sling shoots Pellets: these are either made with Clay, Stone, Ice, or Iron/Lead Bars. Most types of pellets bounce off targets, and can hit enemies twice.

Slings are a sidegrade to bows. They are more expensive to use, but can be fairly potent for warfare in Pre Hardmode.

Its available ammunition includes:

Iron/Lead Pellets (deals 5 damage as an ammunition source: Iron/Lead Pellets are the fastest traveling and highest damaging of all pellet ammunition. It makes 15 pellets per bar, but can still be expensive)

Stone Pellets (1 Stone makes 3 Stone Pellets; this is the cheapest available ammunition, and it only deals 2 damage as an ammunition source. Stone Pellets travels at a slightly slower velocity than the ore pellets)

Clay Pellets (1 Clay Block makes 3 Clay Pellets; they are larger and are more likely to hit their targets. Clay Pellets are the middle of the road in terms of quality, and these deal 3 damage as an ammunition source)

Ice Pellets (1 Ice Block makes 4 Ice Pellets: Ice Pellets explode into several shards and deals 4 damage as an ammunition source. It is the second best ammunition source, compared to the ore pellets. Ice Pellets cannot bounce off targets, due to exploding)

Use time: 24

Damage: 10 + ammunition

Best modifier: Unreal

Knockback: Average

Rarity: Blue

I think there was another thread like this and yeah this makes sense as a weapon. On thing is that it’s attack animation would look like a flail.

This weapon is balanced well.

But the poop ammo is too juvenile, and won't flush. It needs to be ex-plunged.
(seriously though, poop ammo is a disgusting and repulsive idea and I don't want to be obligated to use it because it does the most damage.)

Ah, ok. Fair enough hehe

Why you can craft it only in a Corruption World but no in a Crimson one?

I would change the leather with Rotten Chunks/Vertebrates, also add 3 Demonic Mineral to make it post EoC

Good idea though, I would use the Sling, know I think that "The Slang" would be a funnier name

poopron prime on his way to use his poop cannon to poop on you in your poop armor with your poop pet and poop arena

the more poop there is the less funny it becomes, it just ends up being juvenile and somewhat gross. we already have poo blocks that's enough poop for one game

I have a feeling you'll think not too highly of poop whether or not there's one extra feature attached to it.

it just ends up being juvenile and somewhat gross.

Poop has and always will be 'juvenile and gross', and that's the point. If that's an issue, I recommend sending your criticism to Redigit by shipping it to Ocram's House.

Disagree, especially since this is Terraria.

also no matter how much i love poop in terraria im not arguing past this, this argument is stupid and is going to derail the main post
