Weapons & Equip The fish flinger

[Holy Avocado 🌳]

Obtained via post skeletron fishing quests with a very low chance (0.1%), shoots fish at a slow rate of fire, dealing 35(?) base damage, deals more damage for rarer fish(excluding quest fish, which cannot be used as ammunition)

What would it look like just a mini slingshot thing or like a catapult? Also, what kind of damage with deal? I’d assume ranged, but classless might work to.

I thought it would look like a catapult, but that’s just what I envisioned, I think it would also deal ranged damage

I like this idea but the drop rate needs to be increased.
A 0.1% chance to obtain an item you can only attempt every 24 minutes is wildly low. I feel a 2% would be better, while still having the rarity you want. That would put it right below the rarity of High Gest Fishing Line.

My logic is not necessarily based on rarity, but also the stats of the weapon.

 

[at least i tried]

Sounds like a good idea just increase the drop rate.

I was about to point this out and completely agree.

Otherwise I think this is a perfectly reasonable item to be added into the game.

That’s a fair point, I put 0.1% because it was supposed to be a joke weapon, but now that I think about it, 2% is definitely more fair

Making it a quest drop seems like an odd choice given that most fish-based weapons are obtained through fishing.

Just make it the Big Billymouth Blaster or something and make it a like 1% chance to be caught in place of a bass.
Damage scales with fish sell price.
Damage = [log(Sell value in Silver^1.5)*10] A bass would hit from roughly 10 damage, a flarefin koi would do 25, and a golden carp would hit for 45.

Alright, completely revamped my idea and I love it, I thought damage would scale with rarity, but I love the idea of sell price instead

PIRANHA GUN, OH YEAH

 

[monolithh]

yess, add it to the long list of fish themed weapons

 

[ItsAveryOxO]

How many fish items are there? If we adding a fish weapon add a fish sentry lol for your "fish catapult"
