My most requested Terraria weapon review... The Laser Machinegun. I've done a serious amount of Terraria weapon reviews now, from early game carries like the Ice Blade to late game beasts like Razorpine. Today, we're going to be looking at weirdly my most highly requested review so far, that throughout the past year has accumulated the most requests. The Laser Machinegun. For a weapon I never thought much of, its about time we checked it out together! Enjoy!

This weapon is quite fun, but there is no reason to use it for pillars when razorblade and nebula weapons exist

[@hugemoist]

he didn’t even mention how much slow the weapon is when he shoots the first bolluts that’s a really big downside since you’re dodging all the time against the bosses and events so razorpine doesn’t have any of those flaws you may say the range is less with the razorpine but most of the bosses you’re going to face them so that range you will not be needed

[@ChildDevourer83]

[@regularinsanity2352]

A tip I saw for more saucers per event was to have an ocean house and a spawn house. After 50% progress in the event, use a magic conch to warp to the ocean house, wait a few seconds, and if you dont see a saucer warp back. Repeat until the event ends. I get 7-8 saucers per event this way.

[@jacksonpercy8044]

Brilliant tip, thank you

[@potato1341]

The razorpine exist in a mode pre-golem, the laser machinegun really needs a boost to outdo it considering the former's gamestage comes later and is from a harder event.

[@fortnitesexman]

not really tho, since the gamestates in question are 🤏 close to each other

[@potato1341]

@@fortnitesexman Frost moon is easier and post plantera, martian invasion is post golem, I really think the discrepancy is wide enough to warrant a sizable power boost. Look at the Xenopopper, that's MILES better than the tactical shotgun (also post plantera) (also doing the math the Xenopopper should do 515-644 damage per second not counting crits or ammo damage, tactical shotgun would do 308, xeno is in the range of double DPS), laser should be comparably better since tactical and razorpine are in a similar area but xeno does so much better than tactical.

Hey Sockrteez I have an armor set that I think needs some attention. The pre-hardmode gladiator set. Good defense and an insane set bonus makes it my go to when I play melee. I use it from eoc to sometimes skeletron

[@terrarian7]

I remember my friend giving this weapon to me back when I played on switch, and I was blown away by how cool it was. My main issue with it is the mana consumption, though I suppose it's not much of an issue at that stage of the game. A buff would be amazing, maybe make the shots homing and/or add some piercing capabilities? Really anything would be good.

[@gsamov]

if you aren't using the mana flower thingy (presumably to have more damage/defence accessories) then this thing is a nightmare to use, it chews through mana like a pitbul in a kindergarten and half of the time using it will be in its extremely weak charge-up state

FINALLY THE LASER MACHINEGUN REVIEW!!!!!

[@unregisteredhenrycam8863]

This weapon along with the charged blaster cannon are just so damn fun to use

[@zacbillingham1725]

Personallly i like that weapon it really helped my mage play through although it could be upgraded

[@trevormelton3060]

I use this weapon in every Mage playthrough I do. I used it on the fortheworthy seed against Duke and got a sub 30s kill with a mage/sentry loadout. It's also really good against empress. The range is crazy if you use asphalt and just run away from her

[@Cyanoutthere]

I like the charge blaster cannon more after it's buff

[@the_Void_Cultist]

absolutely amazing video, i dont know how but you always seem to create fantastic videos so keep up the good work. Also could you please review the forbidden armor set please

I love this thing, its amazing against cultist and betsy, and if you're farming for the blaster cannon this will come in handy, (best with spectre hood)

I mainly play modded, and am currently doing a masochist mode(fargo soul mod) playthrough. The laser machine gun was extremely good against my duke fishron fight, and actually made it semi-playable. Its great for larger bosses like EoL and Duke, but falls off a bit against longer range, smaller bosses

[@KamekFox]

You should review the bees knees if you haven't yet, it's surprisingly good against wyverns and even the destroyer with that pink hard mode armour as a secondary damage source

[@evilmemelord7535]

buff idea. give it mana on kill and some pierce. will help alot for invasions.

[@foriornzack2643]

I’ve been waiting on this weapon to be reviewed but I didn’t realize people were actually requesting it

[@Xeconis]

Have you considered looking at the Paintball Gun? It's obtainable as soon as the Painter moves in when you get 8 other town NPCs (pets, travelling merchant, old man included) and is a respectable pre-boss obtainable ranged weapon that consumes no ammo. It's something I've made use of for up to Skeletron (bad Boomstick RNG lmao) before replacing it with the Handgun and thus the Phoenix Blaster.

[@realmofrandom3696]

With the right build this weapon shreds wave events like old ones army and moon events

[@justpodzol9681]

You should do a review of the Magic Dagger. It's nothing special, but pretty good in a lot of situations, and the low mana consumption plus fast fire rate is a good combination.

[@JockStu-tb9gi]

This is ranged weapon strategy with shimmer i want you to showcase if u use bubbles to make box that can hold shimmer like an empty bix(imagine ur arena out layers is shimmer) then using something like super star cannon can be massively op cuz they bounce off the shimmer walls this do able per moon lord if the pomp stuff still works

[@bradygoodrich5318]

Post golem weapons are so often overshadowed considering you can almost effortlessly kill cutlist and get the superior pillar weapons, makes me wish cultist was harder or there was another boss inbetween to make going for these strong weapons more worth it.

[@CreatorOfTheRoom]

The only time I actually used this weapon was for a goofy kill on duke. (for the worthy/master mode post golem no-hit) and it was like the fastest time to kill i've had on him pre-ML at not even a minute and a half with all that HP. it was super funny

[@9-tailed_Fox814]

Imo there needs to be 1boss between plantera and golem that’s mandatory and then another mandatory boss between golem and lunatic cultist that way there’s actually a use for some of the coolest weapons in the game

[@morepenguins6247]

I do like the Laser Machinegun. It's pretty cool.

[@Enneamorph]

I find it to be a very _solid_ weapon through and through. It’s my weapon of choice against the Empress of Light, or for killing the Pillar itself from a distance. Their hitboxes are so big that I can shred them from a biome away if I know where they are.

[@nacl4988]

"uh yeah. it exists. when you click, it shoots. And if you keep shooting, things die."

[@cristeo890]

I used the Laser machinegun for Duke Fishron and it was pretty good, it was consistent with the dps and would pop some of the bubbles he made, not really useful beyond that.

[@wj11jam78]

LMG is my favourite weapon to kill the pillars themselves with. I use other weapons to kill the enemies, but for the actual pillars in particular, its great because the bullet spread doesnt matter at all.

[@socksthecat13]

I agree on the needed buff, but I still massively prefer the Lazer yo the Razorpine cause I hate that projectile drop. I used it to kill Duke and considered it during Moon Lord on my first playthough, and by the time I found the razorpine I just dumped it in my magic weapon chest with like 80 other items.

[@cultistclan6752]

I think there needs to be more to do between golem and the celestial stuff, this wohld give post golem drops a lot more reason to exist

[@Xyt_EliteMajor]

The laser mg is a pretty cool gun I love that pew pew sound it makes. Sucks it has to use mana and nothing like energy cells

[@emeraldsdumbchannel]

The Lazer Machine Gun Is Quite Op. I'd Say It's Quite A Good Post-Golem Weapon.

[@firstpersonsnooter2519]

It was my favorite weapon during my mage playthrough. It’s really good even up until moonlord.

[@ignikatv1589]

I still really wanna know, what you think of the magic dagger, cause no one talks about it.

[@Fernes2171]

It's funny how he said not to kill it on impulse, because I accidentally triggered a Martian Madness one time because my impulse was to let the probe live

[@liammatelski7392]

i love this thing i tried it and it shredded fishron

[@Sunnysideanyway]

If anything it needs a slight accuracy and velocity buff.

[@Duppling]

Hoping to see the Beam Sword eventually. When I was new to the game and got it early on in hardmode i thought it was the coolest thing... Only to discover how shit it is compared to everything else despite it's rarity.

I mean to be fair, it is kinda iconic

[@jonasdarragh4605]

So, when considering a weapon and its advantages, you have to look at the whole picture. When I look at the LMG (laser machine gun) I see a weapon that has comparable DPS to the razorpine and worse but similar DPS to the bubble gun, while also having long-range and fairly accurate projectiles. So, if we compare the range of the two weapons mentioned above to the LMG, the LMG clearly has an advantage. The razorpine's pine needles fall out of the air after a short amount of time, and the bubble gun's bubbles don't reach that far. But the LMG's lasers go far. Along with that, the lasers are fairly focused, compared to the bubble gun's bubbles which spread out if you aren't at close range, and the razorpine's pine needles, which also spread out (but not as much as the bubble gun's bubbles). The LMG's lasers are not only long-range, accurate, and have fairly high DPS, but they can also be fired continuously*. So, compared to a weapon like the charged blaster cannon, the LMG is incredible against a single target, because again, it can be fired continuously*. And I know that the charged blaster cannon isn't meant for single target usage, but still, the fact that it will stop after a certain amount of time whether or not you run out of mana remains if you use it against a single target or a crowd of enemies. *I will say that the caveat to the LMG's "unlimited" use time is that you need lots of mana potions. But, you won't get stacking mana sickness if you use higher level mana potions because the mana sickness will wear off before you run out of mana again. I make the point of the LMG's "infinite" use time because, in my mind, I constantly compare the LMG to most ranger weapons. After all, both have really good range and long use times. The LMG is incredible for focusing on a target that has fast, erratic movements and that is also far away. For example, Betsy. I used the LMG for Betsy, and let me say, it is incredible. It takes a while, and you have to use mana potions, but if you are playing on a console version (which I do, I play on Switch), you can just lock on target and you don't even have to think. So, my conclusion is that when you look at a weapon, just remember that there are so many things to take into consideration. Weapons in Terraria can be used in so many different situations, and there are so many different ways to play Terraria with its weapons. Also, Betsy's sword weapon should be used in crafting the zenith.

[@micahvisser2031]

This is my mage weapon of choice for empresses. It’s fast projectile speed and no gravity makes quick work of the boss.

[@tornadotrick7991]

“Good for fishron” huh? But you used a Razorblade typhoon to get the laser machine gun!

[@mootneyvlogs6677]

If you have the razorblade typhoon, why farm for any other weapons? Beat up moonlord and get the prism???

[@YoshiTheMage]

I'm in agreement that it could do with a slight buff. I find it to be a great choice against the Empress of Light but only because that's the one fight where its superior range matters. Razorpine is extremely effective against Duke Fishron as his charging the player more or less negates its short range and I find Duke's magic drops to be superior to Empress' anyway. I only go after her for the insignia. Generally speaking though the Laser Machine Gun suffers from a high mana cost, being somewhat annoying to get and being outclassed in its progression tier.

[@Cresentinc9999]

Petition to get sock to review the influx waever

[@daanstrik4293]

I’ve always liked this weapon but never used it in a proper playthrough. It either didn’t drop or I had a better weapon. The problem is its ramping fire-rate. For smaller monsters I prefer a weapon that can deal its damage instantly as i’ll be switching targets a lot. It also lacks pierce/AOE for large groups of enemies and is fairly mana-hungry. All of the best mage-weapons are either super flexible or fullfill a specific nishe. The laser machinegun does neither very well, and is thus rarely used. Thats my perspective anyway

[@stinkyballsmeller]

I think it's a fine weapon for Moon Lord if you're comfortable getting up close to the boss, but there are just better weapons that deal more consistent DPS and are safer. Not a bad pick if you don't want to go out of your way for another weapon, though.
