Ranged weapons110

Bows, guns, launchers and thrown weapons, with the ammo each one uses. 110 items, stats straight from the Terraria 1.4.5 game data.

how ranged weapons work

Everything on this page needs something to fire. Bows and repeaters take arrows, guns take bullets, launchers take rockets, and the blowpipe family takes darts. The weapon sets the fire rate and a base figure, then the round you load stacks its own damage, speed and knockback on top. Two players holding identical guns can put out very different numbers purely because of what is sitting in their ammo slots.

Those four slots are read before your main inventory, working downward, and only then does the game walk the hotbar and the rows beneath it. Keep the expensive rounds up there and a cheap stack lower down, and you stop burning Chlorophyte Bullets on stray slimes.

choosing one and what to feed it

Fire rate decides which ammo earns its cost. A slow bow with a large per-shot number gets full value out of crafted arrows, while anything that empties a stack in seconds is better off on Musket Balls until you can make an Endless Musket Pouch. Unreal is the reforge target for most of the list, but a weapon with no knockback gains nothing from that part of it and is fine on Rapid.

Support gear splits by ammo type rather than by weapon. Shroomite Headgear is the arrow helmet, Shroomite Mask is the bullet one, and the Rifle Scope only zooms with a gun in hand. Decide what you are carrying into the fight first, then build around it. The rounds themselves live under ammunition.
