The Snake Eyes is a craftable post-Moon Lord summon weapon. It summons an circular drone which primarily moves by teleporting in a random area that is close to its destination. When a target is nearby, it initially teleports close to the target, then fires a blue electric bolt after 0.5 seconds. The electric bolt initially pierces infinitely, then turns white and redirects towards the target after 0.25 seconds, teleporting the drone to the position of the bolt. The white bolt then chases after the target and explodes on hit, damaging all enemies in a 9.375-tile radius. The drone teleports again 0.75 seconds after redirecting, repeating its attack pattern. When no enemies are nearby, it slowly floats up and down in a random position near the player, teleporting to the player when over 25 tiles away.

The weapon consumes 1 units of charge per use and has a maximum charge of 190. As such, the weapon can be used continuously from full charge 190 times, or for 44 seconds.

Its best modifier is Ruthless. The Mythical modifier provides the widest array of stat bonuses, but these primarily affect the initial summon rather than the resulting minion. Additionally, minions cannot deal critical hits. The only lasting advantage a Mythical Snake Eyes has over a Ruthless one is knockback.

Crafting

Recipe

The Snake Eyes cannot be crafted until the Encrypted Schematic from the Underworld Bio-center Lab is decrypted. If the requirement has not been met, two lines of tooltip are added at the bottom of the item:
You don't have sufficient knowledge to create this yet
The Underworld schematic must be deciphered first

    • Reworked:
      • Buffed damage from 65 to 200.
      • No longer flies around enemies in a square pattern while zapping them with a hitscan beam.
      • Now teleports to a random location near enemies and fires a fast, infinitely piercing energy bolt.
