The Missile Launcher is a Pre-Hardmode, post Eater of Worlds or Brain of Cthulhu Hunter weapon that consumes Missiles to fire, being able to hold up to 5 missiles without any expansions. It is modular, able to equip Missile Launcher addons of which there are two types: Primary and Charge.

The Missile Launcher has two firing modes: Uncharged and Charged. Uncharged shots fire basic missiles which explode in a small area when contacting enemies or solid terrain. Charged shots consume more missiles and require a Charge addon in order to fire, otherwise it will simply autofire missiles.

The Missile Launcher cannot obtain a Modifier.
