The Blaster is a Pre-Hardmode ranged weapon that uses bullets as ammo. It is given a random name, and random effects when obtained in the inventory. There is a chance to get rare counterparts that will inherit more controlled and distinct effects. It is dropped from any enemy in the Asteroid Field, including statue-spawned enemies, at a 1 in 50 (2%) chance.
The effects that the gun can have are random each time, while the debuff effect will always be provided:
- Attacks inflict a random damaging debuff such as Poisoned, On Fire!, Frostburn, or Shocked.
- Fires in bursts.
- Shots bounce off surfaces.
- Fires quickly at the cost of accuracy.
- Right click to fire an empowered shot.
- Right click to throw the gun out like a boomerang.
Its best modifier is Unreal.
