    Possibly the strangest weapon in all of Terraria... With us been looking at some of the more strange and obscure Terraria weapons as of late, I figured now was a better time than ever to take a good look at the bizarre Proximity Mine Launcher. Not only is this thing extremely forgettable, but its functionality one of a kind. Firing pressure sensitive mines which can be setup before a fight. The question is though, is it any good? Enjoy!

      You can actually instantly deal 16000 Damage to the Cultist by placing 20 Mini Nuke 1s on the Dungeon roof 10 tiles above you. It quickly gets you through. Just remember that the mines activate consecutively, and don't stack simultaneously.

      ​​@@sockrteezI love the design and I think a lot could be done with it. My own personal buff idea would be to make it have an inherent buff to all rocket explosion size, but cap the size at that of a mini nuke. It should also be able to blow up midair if it gets close enough to an enemy, dealing average (normal) damage while still keeping the mines function, turning it into a much more versatile option which could properly compete with other launchers. Just my opinion though.

    I was thinking about obscure Terraria items and entities, and one of them that came to mind were the unique mine projectiles this gun makes. Namely the dry mine that removes liquids when it explodes, but only detonates when an enemy stands on it which is probably one of the most arbitrary things in this game.

    I was saying in another comments section: They should give this weapon the ability or add an additional variant that allows for the mines to become airborne. Airborne proximity mines with a faster fire rate to alleviate the slow setup would eliminate the weapon's 2 biggest problems.

  • @Soldaraku
    @Soldaraku 7 місяців тому +3

    It's been a minute since I last used the Proximity Mine Launcher, but if I remember correctly, there's a hard limit (separate from the overall projectile limit) on how many mines you can have set at a time. Don't remember if firing a mine after reaching that limit causes the first mine to explode or merely despawn, but still it's sad there's a limit at all.

  • @9-tailed_Fox814

  • @Dom_Maretti
    @Dom_Maretti 4 місяці тому +1

    Ironically, It's actually a pretty good weapon against Plantera if you have a multi-tier boss arena with a few solid blocks now and again. It's also pretty decent in the post-Plantera Dungeon due to the sheer volume of small-to-medium enemies.

    That reminds me of my master mode specalist ranger run that I did with a friend (he was going bows only) and this weapon was much like the nimbus rod. Only lay down the mine before the battle or when you get a chance to (also yeah it sucks on golem). The plan with this weapon is to lead the enemies into the mines, but iIfeel like a better version of this weapon was if the mines could float in the air. Having air mines would give me a reason to buy from the Cyborg and not mark him as useless npc in my runs.

    As a Terraria PvP player, this weapon is genuinely more ban-worthy than the Zenith because the mines are practically impossible to see once placed and deal a ludicrous amount of damage to other players, even being able to chain several into an immediate kill (if the first one didn't one-shot). Combining the vortex or shroomite armor sets with this weapon is genuinely ridiculous in PvP fr

    I'm offended by your launcher slander.
    Unfortunately I kinda get it because its the only weapon type rangers don't get a specific accessory for, while guns get the Sniper Scope and Bows get Magic Quiver and its upgrades, launchers have to carry their weight in the weapons themselves (and what rockets you use if they consume rockets). I think the Snowman Cannon, Electrosphere Launcher, Piranha Gun, Nailgun and Elf Melter (and let's not forget Celebration Mk2) all carry their weight for launchers, but the rest are either just OK or kinda suck

    Hey, considering that you are making these series of critiquing the game, I thought it would be a good opportunity to point the issues with shimmer and the potential solutions
    my current biggest issue is with the intangible debuff, which I think should also affect minions and make enemies not see you (and go away), so if you pass 10 seconds shimmered a boss despawns
    This would make more sense within the concept of intangibility (you still get damage from bosses :shrug:)
    Also pointing that the Guide never mentions the Shimmer at all, or any npc (a fitting one would be The Wizard or The Witch Doctor, vaguely mentioning the shimmer)
    What do you think?
