Bananarangs attacking a Target Dummy.
Not to be confused with the Banana(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions), a food item.

The Bananarang is a Hardmode boomerang. It returns to the owner once it hits an enemy, comes in contact with a block, or reaches its maximum range. Unlike most other boomerangs, after a Bananarang is thrown out, the player does not have to wait for it to return and can continue to throw out more Bananarangs, with a maximum of 10 Bananarangs being thrown out at the same time. The Bananarang is dropped by the Clown during Blood Moon with a 1/10 (10%) chance.

Its best modifier is Godly or Demonic. Both modifiers increase the average damage output by the same amount. However, Ruthless might be preferred if the player already has very high critical strike chance.

Tips

  • In contrast to Light Discs, Bananarangs do not ricochet and do not travel quite as far.
    • This makes them very good at dealing with flying enemies, as well as keeping crowds at bay. Along with their autofire, they are quite powerful from early to mid-Hardmode, especially during events.
  • The Bananarang is able to be obtained as early as the first Blood Moon in Hardmode, yet inflicts more damage than most Adamantite and Titanium weapons.
  • Despite being a banana, the Bananarang cannot be eaten by the player.

Trivia

  • Bananarang is a portmanteau of the words banana and boomerang.
