Dune Stalker
“Fires a chain-bound hookhead instead of consuming the ammunition outright”
Overview
Section titled “Overview”Dune Stalker is a pre-Hardmode ranged weapon. Left click throws a chain-bound hookhead. The hook cuts through enemies on the way out, then reels back on its own.
Combat Behavior
Section titled “Combat Behavior”Hold left click to fire. The projectile is the hook, not a bullet.
- The hook flies toward the cursor, up to about 34 tiles
- It keeps hitting enemies along the chain
- It starts reeling at max range, after about 0.75 s, or on a wall
- It snaps back to the muzzle and despawns
Only one hook may exist. You cannot fire again until it returns. A hit does not reel immediately; it shortens the remaining outbound time so the return comes sooner.
