The Black Hawk Remote is a Hardmode summon weapon that is dropped by the Wall of Flesh. When used, it summons a fighter jet that follows the player around and attacks by aiming and firing at enemies. The jet fires and consumes bullets from the inventory and can target through tiles. If Musket Balls are used as ammo, all bullets are converted into special bullets that emit light and pass through tiles. The jet will not attack enemies if there are no bullets in the inventory. The jet has a 50% chance to not consume bullets.
Its best modifier is Ruthless. The Mythical modifier provides the widest array of stat bonuses, but these primarily affect the initial summon rather than the resulting minion. Additionally, minions cannot deal critical hits. The only lasting advantage a Mythical Black Hawk Remote has over a Ruthless one is knockback.

Trivia
- This weapon and its minions are likely named after the Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk, which is a US military aircraft, although it is a utility helicopter rather than a fighter jet.
- The summon itself seems to be based on the General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon, which is a light multirole Jet aircraft primarily used by the US.
- The Black Hawk Remote was implemented based on a community suggestion made by Aleksh on the mod's Discord server.
