The Flak Toxicannon is a Hardmode launcher that is dropped by Flak Crabs. When used, it fires a flak shell that erupts into 4 sludge shrapnel projectiles upon contact with enemies or the cursor. Each shrapnel projectile deals 60% of the weapon's damage, which is reduced to 20% if the flak shell 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.

Notes

History

edit

These history sections are still a work-in-progress, and may not yet contain changes relevant to the current version of the Calamity Mod.

• 2.0.4.001:
  • Reworked:
    • Buffed damage from 51 to 73, but nerfed use time from 11 to 44, knockback from 7 to 1.1, and shot speed from 16 to 15.
    • No longer rapidly fires flak shots while aiming above the player that burst into toxic droplets.
    • Now fires toxic flak shells that burst into 4 sludge projectiles when hitting enemies or when the projectile reaches the cursor. Sludge created when the flak shell directly hits an enemy will deal less damage than if it splits before.

• 2.0.3.005:
  • Nerfed damage from 60 to 51 and use time from 8 to 11, but it can now be shot in a slightly wider angle.
  • Shots now always spawn 1-2 droplets instead of having a 33% chance to spawn 1-3, and droplets now last 5 seconds instead of 7.

• 2.0.2.001: Decreased sell price from 7  20 to 4  80 .

• 2.0.1.003: Acidic droplets now grant 17 local immunity frames.

• 2.0.1.002: Buffed damage from 50 to 60 and velocity from 9 to 16.

• 1.5.1.001: Blast now inflicts Irradiated for 4 seconds instead of 5.

  • Nerfed damage from 31 to 25.
  • Fixed rain droplets dealing rogue damage instead of ranged damage.
