The Freeman is a Pre-Hardmode launcher that is dropped by the Mechromancer. It converts any rockets that fired towards coiled rockets which can be controlled by holding the attack button. Hitting enemies with a controlled rocket will explode into a small blast radius and inflict the On Fire! debuff. However, rockets that collide to one or another will explode themselves.

Its best modifier is Unreal.
