Not to be confused with the crafting material Stinger.
The player firing the Stynger. Note the increased damage from direct hits.

The Stynger is a Hardmode, post-Golem launcher that consumes Stynger Bolts as ammunition. When used, it fires high-velocity Stynger Bolts that explode upon contact with enemies or blocks. The explosion additionally releases 2–5 shrapnel fragments that travel in long horizontal arcs and can also explode. The main Stynger Bolt deals double damage (124 base damage), but not its explosion.

The Stynger has a 1/7 (14.29%) chance of being dropped by Golem. When dropped, the Stynger is always accompanied by 60 to 99 Stynger Bolts. Additional Stynger Bolts can be purchased from the Witch Doctor and Arms Dealer (75 CC per bolt), if the Stynger is in the player's inventory.

Its best modifier is Unreal.

Notes

  • The Stynger cannot damage the player.
  • The initial explosion of a Stynger Bolt deals damage to all enemies within a rectangular area of 9.4×9.4 tiles centered on the point of impact. The secondary shrapnel explosions deal damage to all enemies within a rectangular area of 6.25×6.25 tiles centered on the respective point of impact.[1]
  • Stynger Bolts are affected by gravity, but fire at a high enough velocity that the changes in height are negligible.

Tips

  • The Stynger can easily take the player up to waves 15 and 20 of the Pumpkin and Frost Moon.
