Energy Bolt Split

The Shredder is a craftable post-Moon Lord gun. When used with its primary fire (left-click), it fires an 8-attack burst with 0.58-second delay between uses, each attack consisting of an inaccurate spread of 3 fast-moving blue energy bolts which each split off into 2 small bolts in the opposite direction upon hitting any enemy or tile. Small bolts deal 50% damage and can pierce twice or bounce off solid tiles up to 3 times. When used with its secondary fire (right-click), it shoots an equivalent barrage of normal bullets with an identical number of projectiles, firing rate, and spread pattern.

Its best modifier is Unreal.

Notes

• The Shredder's secondary fire (right-click) can use any type of bullet ammo and will not change used bullets into Musket Balls.
• This weapon can cause extreme lag when fired continuously. The secondary fire will cause more lag with bullets that create many particles, such as Chlorophyte Bullets, Holy Fire Bullets or Bubonic Rounds.

Trivia

• While the weapon was originally meant to be a reference to the Shredder from Turok 2: Seeds of Evil, the item underwent changes in development and is now mainly a reference to the Shredifier (and the Infinity) from Borderlands 2.
• Its tooltip is a reference to the processor-intensive effects of the primary attack, causing frame rate drops on many players' devices.
