Pod Zero-42 (The Stars Above)
.png)
Pod Zero-42 is a Pre-Hardmode 
Astral Summoner weapon that is unlocked after placing down a tier 2 Stellaglyph. It summons an Automaton Pod over the wielder's shoulder that passively fires bullets at nearby foes.
Its best modifier is Ruthless. The Mythical modifier provides the widest array of stats bonuses, but these primarily affect the initial summon rather than the resulting minion. Additionally, minions cannot deal critical hits. The only significant advantage a Mythical Pod Zero-42 has over a Ruthless one is knockback.

Note
- The minion switches the buff it grants depending on whether the player is in combat. The player is judged to be in combact if:
- The player deals damage to an enemy (including the friendly NPCs and the dummy, but critters are not included);
- Or the player takes damage.
- Note that Hp deduction effects, such as self-damage of some weapons and damage resulting from debuff is not accounted.
- After 15 seconds of not dealing or taking damage, the player is judged of not in combact. Any damage dealt or taken in the discribed condition will refresh the count down.
