Boomerangs

From Terraria Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Boomerangs are melee weapons that are thrown outwards when used and return to the player after a short amount of time. They have a much greater range than most other types of melee weapons but are not considered ranged due to not requiring any ammunition.

The best modifier for all boomerangs is generally Godly. (Old-gen console and 3DS versions) The two stackable boomerangs cannot receive any modifiers.

Types

There are 16 different types of boomerangs, 6 of which are Hardmode-exclusive.

Notes

  • Increasing melee speed with accessories and/or armor will increase both the range and flight speed of boomerangs.
  • Boomerangs have infinite piercing ability when returning, and can return through blocks.
  • Boomerangs can only have universal modifiers because they cannot have their speed modified.
  • Since boomerangs are considered melee weapons, they are affected by accessories such as the Magma Stone and all flasks.

Trivia

  • After a certain period of time, if using the Rod of Discord to escape, a boomerang will disappear as it tries to return to the player.
