Weapons (Calamity Overhaul)
Weapons are essential items used for combat against enemies, bosses, and even other players during PvP games. Most weapons are crafted at any crafting Station, while others can only be found in Chests, as enemy/boss drops, or purchased from NPCs. Calamity Entropy adds a large number of new and unique weapons for players to use. Many are upgrades to existing weapons and others are unique.
Melee weapons
Swords
Swords are melee weapons which can be divided into 2 basic categories: Shortswords, and Broadswords. Shortswords have a very limited range and attack with a horizontal stabbing motion instead of an arc. Broadswords are swung overhead, which makes it easier to defeat flying and jumping enemies than shortswords.
Spears
Spears are melee weapons that have decent range (somewhat better than swords), but attack using a stabbing motion (like a shortsword, except that spears can be aimed). Spears also have a good chance of hitting targets more than once, especially large enemies.
Ranged weapons
Bows
Bows are ranged weapons that fire arrows as Ammunition. Although several bows deal no knockback, the arrows do.
Guns
Guns are a type of ranged weapon that uses Bullets as Ammunition.
Other
Magic weapons
Staffs
Staffs are magic weapons that are mainly used to deal damage via a projectile attack.
Tomes
Tomes are magic weapons that are mainly used to deal damage via a projectile attack.
Summon weapons
Whips
Whips are summon weapons that can be swung in front of players, and apply damage-boosting effects when striking an enemy. They also serve to call the attention of minions to the enemy struck by the whip, allowing you to focus your summons on one entity while multiple are nearby. Although dealing summon damage, they can receive the effect of Melee speed bonuses and Flasks.
Rogue weapons
Boomerangs
Boomerangs are rogue weapons that when thrown will eventually return to the player's position.
Daggers
Daggers are rogue weapons that when thrown release projectiles that damage enemies.
Javelins
Javelins are rogue weapons that when thrown release a larger projectile than a Dagger.
