When I got my Uzi (after a _very_ long and painstaking session of almost 500 Angry Trapper kills), taking revenge on those stupid tortoises became my pastime.
One thing we should also give the Megashark is its chance to not consume a fired bullet. With an Uzi that chance is a big fat ZERO, so each shot will always consume a bullet. The Megashark is more suited for special ammo, while the Uzi pairs better with the Endless Pouch.
That is true. I use ammo pouch for general mobbing and special ammo for bosses, so the weapons are good for those reasons. On my ftw world I am lucky as hell so I got an Uzi and used it with crystal bullets for the Twins, and it was pretty good but then I faced off against the Destroyer with the Stormbow and I know the Megashark is about to shred Skeletron
Uzi's lower fire rate and higher damage saves ammo, megasharks insane fire rate and lower damage in comparison wastes ammo so they put a 50% ammo saving effect. It's not exactly zero from that stand point besides it's not that difficult to craft few stacks of special ammo for bosses. While ammo saving effects are nice bonus i wouldn't take that into account when selecting weapons. You get ichor and cursed flame without even trying
Megashark is a Terraria OG, it has a huge edge with the reduced ammo consumption bonus and the fire rate is oh so satisfying, but I'll have to stay with my Israeli creature perforator. HV bullets on demand is _way_ too good. @@anggerseptom605 The 'lazy' argument is very invalid when you consider how much you have to farm for it 😜
@@joehoggle744 mushroom fishing is only needed for quests. Best is make it in the cavern, so the pond gives all cavern/mushroom quest fish plus armoured cavefish, specular, and a few more useful items. Sky fishing is very good, you get star fury, red balloons and wings from sky crates.

Started playing about 1.5 year ago. Steam shows 6.5k hours but that's inaccurate as I spent a lot of time doing AFK farming and afking in multiplayer games.
If you get an Uzi to drop before you get a Megashark, don't bother with the latter. If you don't want to farm for it, just get the Megashark instead. This video shows it's no biggie either way. The only thing I'd like to see is if the Uzi beats out the Onyx Blaster when you are using crystal bullets against the Destroyer, whom you'd have to defeat to craft the Megashark anyway. Is it worth it to farm the Uzi over using the Onyx Blaster?
The Uzi and Onyx Blaster are comparable when fighting the Destroyer using crystal bullets. Onyx Blaster is a great weapon for early hardmode for sure. Easy to craft too. I'd still prefer the Uzi all around though, simply because of the convenience of both crowd control and single target. The Onyx Blaster has a bigger spread, much like the Boomstick, which requires you to stay relatively close to mobs.
@@moxusgaming6404 I always use either a golden shower or a repeater with ichor arrows to inflict the ichor debuff so the megashark always has a 5-15% advantage for me. Also, the megashark gets even better with better bullets (comparatively to Uzi) because it fires faster and therefore the bullet's damage is included more. I see (at least for my playstyle) that the megashark is the clear winner. However, the Uzi almost stacks up to it if you don't use ichor.
@@ExplosiveBunnies The Megashark also has an innate "no ammo cost chance" bonus to it. That said, Uziel Gal's baby for me. With a little spray of ichor now and then you can punk even Plantera... and I'm too much of a miser to keep buying casings and cogs 🤣
I remember trying to get the uzi one time on a hardcore character and getting smooshed by the turtles :(
Ouch! Yeah, without a good afk farm this could end badly for sure.
I need a afk farm I can't farm it easily because of high damage

I got it on my first kill, this was on my 20th run however
Great comparison video!
Super fair. I love it.

Which one is your preferred choice?
Nice vid! I’d definitely go with uzi, and I think I will grind for it. A farm video would be super helpful, I’ve liked your other ones a lot
For me it's the Megashark mainly for speed, and the Shroomite Armor makes it more viable
I prever uzi, since i'm lazy to refill ammo

Ichor Arrows + Megashark Crystal Bullets is my way to go.

Great video man
I got an Uzi by accident after killing a with a mega shark saw it did more damage but something about the mega shark just puts a big smile on my face
My guess is the cyclic rate. A gun that fires faster is often so satisfying.
Have you done a wiring tutorial yet? You are now my go to Terraria guide.
I got a fishing base on every biome, I think, thanks to your help. Do mushroom biomes have special fish? Also Sky Islands?

I use both of them together but the onyx blaster is way harder to aim with also that it's slow but powerful with the destroyer 👍👍

I can tell you before watching that the megashark is better. Let's see if I'm proven wrong.
