The Blowgun firing Seeds at a Target Dummy.

The Blowgun is a pre-Hardmode ranged weapon that auto-fires Seeds and darts as ammunition, and is a stronger version of the Blowpipe. When a Blowgun is in a player's inventory, there is a chance that any vegetation growing on normal grass, in Clay Pots, and in Planter Boxes(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) will yield some Seeds. Flowers typically drop 4 Seeds at a time, while tall grass typically drops 1–2 Seeds. The Blowgun can be purchased from the Witch Doctor for 5 GC.

Its best modifier is Unreal.

Notes

  • The Seeds used by the Blowgun cannot be planted. Conversely, seeds that can be planted cannot be used as ammo for the Blowgun.
  • (Old-gen console and 3DS versions) It does not receive any specialized boosts from the Shroomite armor headpieces, though it still receives the stealth boost.
  • (Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) It receives boosts from the Shroomite Helmet.

Tips

  • In early Hardmode, the Blowgun and Blowpipe are useful for firing Cursed or Ichor Darts. While the Blowgun is stronger overall, the Blowpipe fires faster and can be obtained without a Witch Doctor.
  • The Blowgun can be considered an upgrade to the Blowpipe

Trivia

  • It looks very similar to the Blowpipe, but has a red ribbon on the top and is flared on one end.
  • The Witch Doctor uses the Blowgun to defend himself against nearby enemies.
