The Flak Kraken in use.

The Flak Kraken is a craftable Hardmode launcher and the direct upgrade to the Flak Toxicannon. When used, it fires two bursts of abyssal flak shots that split into 5 ink shrapnel upon contact with enemies or the cursor. Each shrapnel projectile deals 60% of the weapon's damage, which is reduced to 30% if the flak shot hits an enemy directly. Both projectiles do not pierce. The weapon causes the player to recoil when used.

Its best modifier is Unreal. However, the weapon's knockback will not be affected due to already being 0.
