The Quad-Barrel Shotgun attacking Target Dummies.

The Quad-Barrel Shotgun is a pre-Hardmode, post-Skeletron gun that can be purchased for 35 GC from the Arms Dealer when he is spoken to in a Graveyard. When used, it fires eight bullets at a 45° spread, consuming one piece of ammunition.

Its best modifier is Unreal.

Notes

• One of the bullets is always fired accurately towards the cursor.

Trivia

• The Quad-Barrel Shotgun is a reference to the 1979 American science fantasy horror film Phantasm.
• Despite its lower rarity color and stats compared to the Hardmode Shotgun (apart from the spread), the Quad-Barrel Shotgun has a higher buy and sell price (35 GC / 7 GC compared to 25 GC / 5 GC).
• The Quad-Barrel Shotgun is one of the 11 guns in Terraria based on a real gun, the others being the Chain Gun, Flintlock Pistol, Handgun, Musket, Red Ryder, Revolver, Shotgun, Sniper Rifle, Tactical Shotgun, and Uzi.
