Not to be confused with Sandstorm, a vanilla event.

The Sandstorm is a craftable Hardmode ranged weapon that is a direct upgrade to the Sandgun. When used, it uses Sand Blocks as ammo and fires non-piercing sand blasts which explode into a visual eruption of sand particles on impact. Unlike its predecessor, it does not place Sand Blocks where its projectiles collide.

Its best modifier is Unreal.
