The Small Sting is a ranged weapon dropped by Queen Bee. It uses darts as ammunition and fires small, high velocity stingers. These stingers stick onto enemies for 5 seconds. If another stinger is shot at a stuck one, it deals extra damage and inflicts Poisoned. Uniquely, this weapon cannot deal critical strikes.

Its best modifier is Unreal.

Notes

• It will gain a 10% damage bonus from Hive Pack.
• Since The Small Sting converts all Darts into Small Stingers and ignores their special effects, it is best to use it with high damage Darts, namely Poison Darts.
