Terraria Gunner Guide in 16 Minutes! Terraria 1.4 Gunner Progression Loadout Guide from Start to End

[@theoverseer9153]

As a melee main, I still personally think that the ranger is the best class in the game, I always have a way easier time playing as the ranger.

[@clashoclan3371]

Also it's consistently good, from your powerful musket in early game, to your onyx blaster in mid game then your sdmg/vortex beater in late game, unlike Magician or summoner, which are only good in the late game.

[@Perry27]

since 1.4.4 buffed melee much, i'd say its on par with ranger at this point

[@theoverseer9153]

@@Perry27 returning to this comment after 1.4.4, can definitely say that melee's absolute glow up easily puts it as a competitor for most viable. Probably exceeds rangers at all stages except the start of the playthrough, which even that is mitigated once you get your hands on the blade of grass, evil biome sword, or starfury.

[@stranger_bean8710]

As a suggestion, I’ve always found that the Boomstick works just as well as the minishark for pre phoenix blaster, so if you don’t want to spend all the money on a minishark, you could go to the underground jungle to get a boomstick instead

[@Knight_with_gun]

its even better because it consumes only one bullet but shoots ca 6

[@ballpython324]

I've been using the boomstick and musket while I save money too. Works pretty good even in expert mode plus its really fun to shoot flying targets with it

Just a tip for minishark fans. If you farm during the blood moon you might get a shark tooth medalion, which will massively help the minishark's main issue regarding defence penetration.

[@lyhnk]

it's a shark tooth necklace. I was confused for a sec until u said defence penetration lol. But it happens, when you remember a name wrong.

Insted of mining u can go to desert and get a extractinator and get lots of sturdy fossil they buff range soo much that minishark shoots with 20+ damage

[@connelevish3797]

How?

[@oddbluedragon]

How?

[@tejaswadaboria7455]

@@connelevish3797 k listen PPL so if ur playing ranger then go in any desert biome and start digging down till u find a cave in cave look for a orangish sandstone like looking block use bombs to break it (it's easier with bombs) then ull get sand fossils with em and then look for extractanator in chests (gold) right click the sand fossils in extractanator u will start getting gems coins from em but we want sturdy fossil from em u can then use the sturdy fossil to make fossil armour it massively boosts ranger stats for early game

[@nerdokiddo8106]

Basically Clicking an extractinator with desert fossils has a chance to give u sturdy fossils. U can use these sturdy fossils for ranger armor, though i would reccomend using necro armor instead

[@aljd5600]

pro tip: bring some food and mining potions when mining ores (and spelunker potions), it will increase your mining speed and give you a slight defense boost which is good in early hardmode

[@quandaledingle7147]

and also if you got the party girl to move in and if its the first party talk to her it will give you a cake which is a station and if you right click is gives you faster mining speed

[@Creic666]

Been playing terraria a long time and watched many a lets play. I have to say I truly enjoy your content. Its clear and informative and has greatly improved my playing. Currently I am on switch and excited for 1.4

[@YellowRaydio]

You never talked about accessories or pre hard mode armor. I personally found foissil armor mini shark with crit focused forges on accessories to be the strongest way through. Shark tooth necklace is a very big damage boost coupled with crit increases on accessories.

[@maltojoshuaissacharc.4545]

I was stuck and keep dying to mech bosses until i saw Your arena design. It is soo good and i made one and it made the mech bosses so easy and Im a summoner and i play on mobile

[@yaourmahm2208]

The paintball gun is suuuper overlooked and is really easy to get I’d recommend it if you are going ranger only it can be viable till after your first mech so give it a try.

[@thebasedspectator8860]

If you dont want potions some helpful tip here Im a ranger/gunner. When hardmode, defeat the first mech boss(destroyer). go up the sky(must be level with cloud) and make a layout that you cannot hit by the lasers. use onyx blaster with meteor bullets since meteor can pen the destroyer. it does more damage. hope it helps. I will upload my layout on how did I kill the first HM destroyer boss. Potions? no need :) For skeletron and twins. You must need wings in order to dodge their attacks. I recommend basic wings like 'angel wings'. Make a long asphalt runway and put the nurse (must include a npc house with bed, table and chair) in the center. be sure you have any recall potion or lucky if you have mirror. You must need a boots and cuthulu shield since asphalt can make you run faster. cuthulu shield is also a big help for dashing. for twins, weapons I use to kill is megashark with ichor/cursed flame for skeletron is still onyx blaster with ichor/cursed flame. Why there is a bed? yes click the end portion of the bed to set your spawn so you can recall to the nurse and heal. Be sure you have enough money to make nurse heal you. also put light, wall, chair, and a crafting table on the house so the nurse will move in. asphalts make you move faster and dodge their attacks. If you didn't get my tips. I upload video on it to see the what I did.

[@nerdokiddo8106]

Or you can just use king slime mount for destroyer, wait for steampunker and buy the jetpack and beat the rest with megashark and ichor bullets

[@gaspardavid2098]

I would like a video like this one for tomes only mages.

[@GremlinEnby]

I love how jovial this game can be, like you can get a sword that's made of pure light, but instead you just use a fucking *shotgun*

The boomstick is so much better than the mini shark (for bosses at least) I had a problem with skeletron with minishark, but when I used boomstick I did it first try

[@JohnLennonsImagimaryAccount]

Thank you, although I personally go after skeletron prime first

[@purplehaze2358]

A few recommendations of my own: The boomstick is what I consider to be one of, if not, the single greatest weapon in the pre-boss stage. It's always worth going for as soon as you first get a musket/boomstick. Orichalcum armor is really, REALLY good. It's objectively the best offensive set bonus of any armor in the pre-mech stage. Sniper scope is a pretty damn solid accessory. A free boost to both damage and crit rate is nothing to scoff at. Red riding armor is better than shroomite in the majority of situations. Xeno popper is kind of nutty. It's a little awkward, but there's a reason it's considered the best shotgun in the game.

[@trapas4803]

zuzu also forgot about uzi. I know its hard to obtain but its very decent gun for start of the hardmode. imo it's even better gun than megashark and onix blaster.

[@DinnerForkTongue]

​@@trapas4803 And now that the Venus Magnum is a straight upgrade of the Uzi...

[@szymonromotowski4377]

Hot take, but I think onyx blaster is better than the megashark, I use it usually all the way up to pillars when it becomes outclassed by vortex beater etc, i do use other weapons for support but the onyx blaster is great

[@medicgaming9117]

[@jeidamn]

I remember selling my meteorite bars for a minishark Good times

[@SomeDudeWhoIsntDead]

The minishark is statistically a downgrade from both the undertaker and the musket if enemies have more than like 10 defense.

[@amaress97]

The uzi is probably one of the best guns in Terraria and it can be found easily If you combine it with clorophyte bullets it'll become the best weapon

[@DinnerForkTongue]

In a way, yes. Just keep in mind that it has no inherent chance at all to save the fired bullet, so you NEED conservation buffs.

[@diamond086]

Needed this guide 2 days ago when I beat the moon lord with a gunner lol. Great video!

[@lyhnk]

if you have patience, I recommend the Star Cannon for skeletron and wof. Since you'd need it mainly for wof, I only shot the Star Cannon when I removed both hands from skeletron and he started spinning. When he's not spinning, I didn't want to miss shots since it's hard enough to get a lot of ammo. update: I tried the star gun against the wof, and it SHREDDED. I did not need to use the phoenix blaster once even with only 200 stars. I only used 170. Would recommend this gun, no reason to not, u can just collect stars over time while playing up until wof. Almost forgot to mention, this was while I was in master mode.

[@willrobson7265]

Tip for getting money: stained glass can be crafted with glass walls and gems and greatly increases the value of them (Not amber or diamond though, they are good enough as it is). I used this for my first minishark as gems are easy to find and gemtrees then allow you practically infinite of them

[@pendragon.-.]

"gems are easy to find"

[@willrobson7265]

Yes, but if you go for a few long mining trips you should find a few

[@river7874]

Gems are easy to find. Silt, Fossils, and Slush have them with an Extractinator, not to mention Gem Trees make it easy to farm them now.

[@purenite9840]

Thank you for the guide!!!! I really needed it. Thanks

[@Rezz300]

You can also fish in the Corrupted biome (If your world is corrupted) to get the Toxikarp gun which doesn't need ammo since it shoots out toxic bubbles if you are in hardmode.

[@glxyplays9686]

For gunslingers, I also recommend to use Red Riding Armour if you're bad at dodging since it offers more defense, but generalized damage, so you'll have low DPS.

Zuzu is too good to start with copper tools, he always starts with iron.

[@illbeatyouwithmyshoe7220]

I’m assuming this is satire but if it isn’t it’s because he’s in journey mode but he gets rid of all the starting gear (wings, grapple hook, etc.) and the reason he’s in journey mode is for building purposes (I think since it’s what he said in the regular ranger guide)

[@urtoryu_dy_althraidn]

Journey mode has the extra range option which comes in real handy when building, I believe that's the reason he plays it.

[@Jasdeez]

If your wanting to go melee before trying to defeat the WoF (Wall Of Flesh) I reccomend getting the nights edge and get some pair of hermes boots or terraspark boots and some ironskin and regeneration potion then summon the WoF (Wall Of Flesh) Go close but not that close then swing your night's edge The hp of WoF (Wall Of Flesh) will get drained fast because of the night's edge (I also don't know why zuzucorn said mage and ranger will probably have the easiest time in WoF But eh i guess its kind of true)

Also once you're into pre plantera and has access to chlorophyte bars and have an gatligator use the chlorphyte bars or ore (I don't know how chlorophyte ammo is made because im still stuck in mech bosses) to create chlorophyte ammo/bullets these ammo are homing or autotracking bullets and use it against the might salad boss plantera sure it isn't best but its atleast at close to the uzi with chlorophyte bullets/ammo

[@OHTIJ]

I was screaming at the screen when they were saying that there weren’t any better gun upgrades after getting the undertaker/musket

[@MM081]

I have 4 things to note, but this is pretty good 1. If you don't want to spend so much money on a minishark you might get a revolver from the traveling merchant, works great for skeletron 2. Ammo box is now sold by arms dealer rather than traveling merchant, not sure if that was the case even this video came out but important for people watching after 1.4.4 came out 3. Chlorophyte bullets are bad, just learn to aim and don't use chain gun 4. Venus magnum is goated for golem and cultist
