The Bloody Machete falling after reaching its maximum range and returning after hitting a wall.

The Bloody Machete is a pre-Hardmode boomerang that has a 1/2000 (0.05%) chance of being dropped by any weak enemy during the Halloween seasonal event. When thrown, it falls downward after reaching a medium range, then returns to the player upon contact with a block or an enemy.

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.

Notes

  • Its maximum horizontal range is 46 feet, or 23 tiles.
  • It lasts for 60 seconds after being thrown.

Tips

  • Using the Goblin Army is a good way to farm this item, as most of the enemies qualify for its drop and they spawn constantly.

Trivia

  • This is the iconic weapon of Jason Voorhees, the hockey-mask-wearing serial killer from the American horror film series Friday the 13th. However, Jason mostly uses it in melee combat, whereas in Terraria, the machete is thrown.

History

  • Desktop 1.4.0.1: Fixed an oversight in Halloween drop rates based on HP that caused Bladed Glove and Bloody Machete to be too rare in Expert.
