The Clockwork Assault Rifle firing Musket Balls.

The Clockwork Assault Rifle is a Hardmode gun that has a 1/4 (25%) chance of being dropped by the Wall of Flesh. It fires in three-shot bursts, with each burst consuming one piece of ammunition.

Its best modifier is Demonic, as it does not have any knockback and thus cannot get modifiers that affect it.

Notes

  • Internally, the Clockwork Assault Rifle has a useTime of 4 and a useAnimation of 12, causing it to fire 3 times per press of the ⚒ Use / Attack button. It also has a reuseDelay of 14, adding a cooldown of 14 ticks[1] (0.23 seconds) after each useAnimation.[2]

Tips

  • The player should use Ichor Bullets with this weapon, as it has a low base damage but fast attack speed.
  • Having the Rapid modifier will reduce both the per-bullet cooldown and the reload cooldown, making the benefit disproportionately large. This lets it fire as fast as an Agile Minishark on average, though against enemies with 30 or more defense, Demonic is still better.

Trivia

  • The Clockwork Assault Rifle is potentially a reference to the Heckler & Koch G11 assault rifle, a real-world prototype rifle from the 1960s–1980s that fired in three-round bursts and had a clockwork feeding system.
