Beamed Eighth Note
Quarter Note

The Face Melter is a craftable post-Moon Lord magic weapon. When the primary-fire (left click) is used, streams of two red musical notes are rapidly fired from the player in the cursor's direction. The notes can pierce up to ten enemies, travel through blocks, and linger shortly before disappearing. The darker beamed eighth notes deal 1.5x as much damage while the lighter quarter notes move 1.5x as fast.
When the alternate-fire (right click) is used, an amplifier is summoned at the cursor's position. The amplifier continuously fires streams of notes in the cursor's direction; these notes behave identically to the ones fired by the Face Melter. Only one amplifier can exist at a time; attempting to create another one will despawn the first one.
Its best modifier is Mythical.

Notes
- The primary fire has a fixed use time of 10 ticks, and the secondary fire has a fixed use time of 20 ticks; as a result, no modifier can increase or decrease the firing rate of the weapon.
Tips
- To maximize this weapon's potential, focus on increasing damage or decreasing mana cost, as its use time cannot be modified.
- Always have an amplifier deployed, as it effectively doubles the damage output of the weapon for no extra cost.
- Unless the enemy is exceptionally fast, aim based on the darker eighth notes. They deal the bulk of the weapon's damage, and it is quite likely that the quarter notes will hit as well anyway.
Trivia
- This weapon's name, appearance, and function are references to a weapon of the same name from Enter the Gungeon.
- The Face Melter's tooltip is a reference to Mr. Torgue in the Borderlands 2: Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep DLC where he says the same line during the first main mission. This is further reinforced by the fact that the Face Melter in Enter the Gungeon also references Mr. Torgue.
