Terraria: How To Get The Clockwork Assault Rifle

Players have a wide selection of weapons to choose from in Terraria. This guide will show players how to obtain the Clockwork Assault Rifle.

Players have a lot of options for weapons in Terraria , especially since the game was updated recently. Most of the very powerful weapons will need to be crafted using different kinds of materials, and it is incredibly worth it to track down new kinds of components for crafting. It is very possible though to find weapons in the world that are just as useful as those that can be crafted.

One of the weapons that players will be able to find in the world is the Clockwork Assault Rifle. This weapon fires three projectiles simultaneously, but only consumes one bullet. This makes the rifle a great choice to use against enemies, while still conserving ammo. This guide will show players what this rifle is capable of and also how to obtain it.

2 Terraria: How to Find the Clockwork Assault Rifle

The Clockwork Assault Rifle is relatively simple to obtain, as long as players are well equipped for fighting bosses. This weapon can only be obtained during hardmode, which means that it cannot be found before killing the Wall of Flesh for the first time. This is because the Clockwork Assault Rifle only drops from killing the Wall of Flesh itself.

This is not a guaranteed drop from the boss, but rather will rather only drop 16.67% of the time. This means that players will probably need to fight the Wall of Flesh several times in order to acquire the Clockwork Assault Rifle. Players will need to collect several Guide Voodoo Dolls and continue summoning and killing the Wall of Flesh until it drops the Clockwork Assault Rifle. This is well worth the trouble though, as this weapon will serve players very well during hardmode.

1 Terraria: How to Use Clockwork Assault Rifle

The Clockwork Assault Rifle is perfect for players who want to conserve ammo while causing as much damage as possible. The summary on the item says it only causes 19 damage, but that is actually per bullet. This means that the base damage of the weapon is actually 57 for the time the gun is fired. This can actually be increased if the player uses more powerful bullets. This makes it possible to do 60+ points of damage every time the trigger is pulled, which makes the Clockwork Assault Rifle invaluable for dealing with the Mechanical Bosses of hardmode.

Players will want to use this weapon against bosses because of its high rate of fire, which makes it much easier to finish them off as quickly as possible. Additionally, this weapon is great for farming early bosses as well if the player needs more materials or is trying to obtain a specific drop. The Clockwork Assault Rifle is a wonderful weapon for any Terraria player to have in their possession.
