The Pestilent Defiler is a Hardmode gun that is dropped by The Plaguebringer Goliath. It slowly fires extremely powerful shots at high velocity. If Musket Balls are used as ammo, bullets are converted into sickness rounds that inflict the Plague debuff. Sickness rounds split into three homing rounds on impact that fly in random directions. Both the main and split rounds spawn plague particles upon death at their point of impact, which emit a small amount of light and pierce infinitely for a very short time.

Its best modifier is Unreal.
