Cooldown Shot

Speed Blaster in use. Notice how after dashing, the weapon's paintballs change color and have increased speed.

The Speed Blaster is a craftable Hardmode ranged weapon that is a direct upgrade to the Paintball Gun. When used, it fires 1 paintball per shot. Paintball shots have a short range and low accuracy by default and drop visual paint on collision that slowly fades away overtime. Right clicking while holding down the movement keys will perform a short dash in the direction being traveled with a base distance of 36 tiles and fires an extremely fast paint glob that deals 450% base damage, pierces 3 times before stopping on the fourth and also changes the color of the paintball shots. After dashing, fire rate is increased by 15% and paint shots are fired with 50% faster base velocity and greatly less inaccuracy, deceleration, and gravity for 5 seconds. The right click dash has a 5 second cooldown after being used.

Its best modifier is Unreal.

Notes

• The Calamity Mod allows the Painter to sell the Paintball Gun, allowing the player to obtain the weapon without having to kill the NPC.
• The Speed Blaster paintball shots cycle through 5 colors in a set order: Cyan, Blue, Magenta, Green, and Yellow.
• The weapon is able to fire paintball shots through solid tile gaps; this is due to the paintball shots being fired from the very tip of the weapon, allowing them to pass through solid tiles.

Trivia

• The weapon's noises are a reference to the Splatoon series of video games.
