Legacy:Drills
On the
Old-gen console version and Nintendo version, drills are functionally identical to their pickaxe counterpart, apart from appearance, sound, and possible modifiers. The Orichalcum Drill is the exception from this rule, being significantly slower than the Orichalcum Pickaxe. The early Hardmode ore drills inflict no knockback on these versions and thus cannot obtain modifiers that affect knockback.
On the Nintendo version, the Drax is the only drill that is already available pre-Hardmode, being found in Shadow Chests.
