The Photoviscerator's two modes in use.

The Photoviscerator is a craftable post-Moon Lord flamethrower that uses gel as ammunition. When used with its primary fire (left-click), it fires a solid light beam which pierces infinitely and rapidly hits struck enemies, along with periodic pairs of exo flares that home in on enemies and explode on impact. When used with its secondary fire (right-click), it fires exo flares that sharply home into nearby enemies and bounce off tiles. Once an enemy is hit, the flare is stuck to the target, continuously dealing 50% of the weapon's base damage. Exo flares pierce four times and disappear after seven seconds.

Its best modifier is Unreal.

Recipe

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.
