Use

The Molecular Manipulator is a craftable post-Moon Lord ranged weapon that is a direct upgrade to the Nullification Pistol. Each shot will alter its target in some way, as long as it is not a boss. The following effects can happen at an equal chance:

• Grow 400% bigger
• Shrink 90% smaller
• Deal 20 more contact damage
• Deal 20 less contact damage
• Become completely resistant to knockback
• Remove all knockback resistance
• Increase defense by 10
• Decrease defense by 10
• Increase velocity upwards
• Increase velocity to the left or right

Its best modifier is Unreal.

Notes

• The amount of contact damage increase or decrease will scale with difficulty.
  • For example, Great Sand Shark has a 60% scaling factor in Expert Mode and 15% scaling factor in Revengeance Mode. Therefore, the amount of damage increase will equal to 20 / 32 / 36 / 39 / 48 / 55 / 59 .
• The amount of velocity increased is 1.875 blocks per second. This effect is additive and can therefore counteract opposite motion.
  • For example, under the effect of increasing vertical velocity, an NPC that moves downwards at a rate of 3 blocks per second will still move downwards, but at a rate of 1.125 blocks per second.

Trivia

• The Molecular Manipulator will work on the Guide and the Clothier with their respective voodoo dolls equipped.
