why nobody uses this Calamity weapon. (Flak Toxicannon)

There exists a Terraria Calamity mod weapon that a lot of people don't know it even exist. Flak Toxicannon, a weapon so unpopular, but what's the reason behind it's unpopularity?

Terraria is an action-adventure sandbox platformer game developed by Re-Logic. Play Terraria Now:

The Calamity Mod is a large content mod for Terraria which adds many hours of endgame content and dozens of enemies and bosses dispersed throughout the vanilla game's progression. The Calamity Mod also features several harder difficulty modes, 5 new biomes and new structures, a new class, a new leveling mechanic, more than 30 new songs, over 50 recipes for previously uncraftable vanilla items and other assorted changes to vanilla gameplay.

This is not a 100 Days of Terraria Modded or a Terraria Mod Playthrough or a Modded Terraria Class or a Terraria Modded Boss video, but I hope you guys like the funny meme Terraria Calamity mod video...

just an opinion video, no hate intended
I love Calamity and its developers are awesome people!

Let's just hope that when tmodloader updated to 1.4 and calamity also updated to fit the 1.4 Terraria they'll start reworking on the acid rain event to makes it even better.

1:56 Make no mistake, despite being able to shred Desert Scourge in under five seconds, it's pretty underwhelming for its stage even in the best situation for it possible.

I was about to say, "well the fact that it doesnt do well against the twins isnt really an issue, since you're supposed to best them *before* doing acid rain tier 2", but then I remember that the mod lets you fight bosses in whatever order you want pretty much

[gaspin]

Both the upgrade and its predecessor seem EXTREMELY situational, just like you said. Instead of nerfing the Gamma Heart, they could buff this weapon.

Maybe something that's the opposite of cursed darts? It shoots acid pellets that produce projectiles that fly straight up. So it can be used strategically against worm bosses that are on tier with the mechs.

Other than that, yeah. Pretty dull weapon in it's current state.

Kind of wish it would arc and come back down, even just halfway back down again before exploding. At least then it wouldn’t be useless if the boss wasn’t above you

[UrielDripper]

“I bet you've never heard of this weapon”
funny, as a person who barely knows any gun in calamity, I know this one

[magma--]

Ok weapons use aside, but can we agree how good the sprite looks for Flak Kraken!!

Love to see irregular event weapons being spotlighted! Not everyday the acid rain event is even noted, maybe the early draedon lab weapons could get some spotlight?

[Kurai]

I love this gun because of its sprite and the way it performs, it's not everyday you get a weapon that excels in enemies that stay above you, it's the one of the few random things in modded/vanilla Terraria that allows the game to be unique and fully expanded on

[Vepzzzzz]

If the projectile were actual mortar shots that came downwards as well like the obvious Risk of Rain 2 hermit crab reference then i could see it being used WAY more (you aim at a spot and it fires the projectile upwards in an arc to the cursor)

[adamiamnottellingyoumylast]

A good way to make it better is to just buff its damage when aiming upwards but it would still deal the damage displayed on the information of the weapon.

Bro, when he mentioned the Flak Kraken, all I could think of was Merg's old playthrough of the Calamity mod, his second time ever playing terreria.

[jakedogan]

gitgud: "lets just face the fact that there are not many enemies in terraria that just stays above you"
me: THE EXO MECHS

[ethansitton]

I think a good solution is instead of having the shots just explode in the air and being a hit or miss, have the shot split into a few shrapnel pieces that fall to the ground giving it coverage to the sides if the shots are arced correctly along with a damage boost if you land direct hits as the shrapnel would immediately hit the target. Kind of a shame they nerfed a fun weapon instead if making other weapons fun first.

GGWO "Why nobody uses this weapon?"
someone "I use"
GGWO "Shut up."

[HajpeQ]

I remember when flat kraken was cracked



Those were the days.

[CalderaWolf]

Only weapon that I’ve ever used a lot from the acid rain is the Skyfin Bomber rogue weapon, really strong homing makes that one feel good to use

[sebru]

I hope that if tml 1.4 arrives calamity will also make a huge update that would add more bosses, weapons, probably 1 biome, more enemies, and maybe 2 more ores and new accessories

[EnzoZambrotti]

It appears it is now good. Love to see it
