Atlatls (Polarities Mod)

Atlatls are a new type of ranged weapon introduced by the Polarities Mod. They use seeds and darts as ammunition similarly to the Blowpipe and its variants, but use a broadsword-like swinging animation to fire them, launching the projectile from above the player's head at the peak of its arc. Their shot velocity is proportionate to their size and inversely proportionate to use time; this comes into effect with the multiple unique modifiers available to them.

Types

There are currently 16 different atlatls available, 6 of which are Hardmode-exclusive.

Trivia

• The atlatl, or spear-thrower, is an ancient weapon used to throw darts and javelins with greater velocity than is possible by hand.
