Attacking a Target Dummy with the S.D.M.G.

The S.D.M.G. (Space Dolphin Machine Gun) is a Hardmode gun that has a 2/9 (22.22%) chance of being dropped by the Moon Lord. When used, it very rapidly fires bullets in a small spread. It also has a 66% chance not to consume ammunition. The S.D.M.G. has a base 14% critical strike chance, as opposed to the usual 4%.

Its best modifier is Unreal.

Notes

  • Shots fired from the S.D.M.G. emit a moderate amount of light for their entire path.

Tips

  • The S.D.M.G. pairs well with certain types of bullets:
    • The Luminite Bullets' piercing capabilities complement the S.D.M.G.'s high rate of fire and accuracy for crowd control.
    • The high accuracy of the gun allows for the shards of Crystal Bullets to consistently hit large enemies.
    • Its ammo conservation effect is great with Chlorophyte Bullets' expensive homing abilities.
  • Compared to the Vortex Beater, the S.D.M.G. is more accurate but has less crowd control without piercing ammunition.

Trivia

  • This item is a reference to the game Edge of Space (hence the tooltip 'It came from the edge of space'), in which Terraria is also referenced.
  • This weapon goes along with the theme of aquatic automatic weapons, such as the Gatligator, as well as its predecessors, the Minishark and Megashark.
