Not to be confused with Plague Reaper armor, a Hardmode ranger armor set.

Plaguebringer armor is a craftable Hardmode armor set and an upgrade to the Bee armor set. While wearing the Plaguebringer Carapace, the player has a tank equipped behind them. While wearing all three set pieces, a motion blur afterimage is displayed while the player is walking, paired with additional trails of green dust while sprinting.

It consists of a Plaguebringer Visor, Plaguebringer Carapace, and Plaguebringer Pistons.

The full set grants the following effects while equipped (this includes the set bonus):

• +32 defense
• +45% summon damage
• +3 minion slots
• +20 maximum health
• +15% movement speed
• Immunity to the Plague debuff
• Friendly bees and wasps inflict the Plague debuff
• Summons a small Plaguebringer minion that fires bees and plague bees, which both home in on nearby enemies and deal 25 summon damage. Normal bees inflict the Poisoned debuff and plague bees inflict the Plague debuff.
• The ability to perform a plague ram dash with a base distance of 23 blocks by double-tapping the ◀ Left or ▶ Right keys. The dash deals 50 summon damage and grants the player 12 immunity frames for each enemy hit by the dash.
• The ability to grow tall flowers on grass tiles while walking on them, similarly to the Flower Boots and its upgrade. There is also a small chance every frame for a random dye plant to grow while the player is on Dirt Blocks, similarly to the Bloom Stone, which can either be a normal dye plant or a Strange Plant.
