The Cosmic Viper Engine is a craftable post-Moon Lord summon weapon that is an upgrade to the Tactical Plague Engine. It summons a Cosmic Gunship that fires and consumes bullets. It alternates between firing the chosen bullet and one of the following projectiles:
| Projectile | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 |
Concussion Missile | An insanely fast and accurate missile |
 |
Homing Rocket | A very fast homing rocket |
 |
Splitting Rocket | A fast homing rocket that splits into four  shrapnels in random directions when getting close to an enemy. Each shrapnel deals 25% damage.
|
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 Cosmic Viper Engine has over a Ruthless one is knockback.
