The Bubble Gun attacking Target Dummies. Notice how the bubbles pop when idle or when hitting a surface.

The Bubble Gun is a Hardmode magic gun that has a 1/5 (20%) chance of being dropped by Duke Fishron. When used, it rapidly fires a large spread of short-range bubbles, with three bubbles per use. Bubble projectiles linger in midair and dissipate upon contact with an enemy or block.

Its best modifier is Mythical.

Notes

Tips

  • Its rate of fire, combined with its damage, gives it among the highest magic DPS in Terraria but at the cost of a very short range. Its effectiveness can be further enhanced by lowering enemy defense utilizing the Ichor debuff, e.g. using the Golden Shower, as well as Betsy's Wrath.
  • The Bubble Gun has similar function to the Razorpine in single target DPS. The Bubble Gun gives significantly higher damage output and slightly more mana efficiency at the cost of range.
  • Because of its short range, spread, and lingering bubbles, it is most effective against large bosses that chase their target, like the Pumpking, Mourning Wood, and Santa-NK1.

History

  • Desktop 1.4.4:
    • Projectile speed/distance increased from 11 to 15.
    • The bubbles now last twice as long before popping, meaning that more bubbles reach their full range, and they linger longer before disappearing.
    • Mana cost increased from 4 to 5, allowing access to better modifiers.
