Learn about the Spine Buster, a Hardmode gun in Thorium Mod. Discover its stats, how to get it from Coldlings and Frozen Grosses, and its unique Blood Globule projectiles.

Hey there! So you're looking to get your hands on the Spine Buster, huh? It's a pretty neat Hardmode gun that can really change up your bullet game. Let's break it down.

First off, the Spine Buster is a gun that uses Bullets as ammo. It's got a base damage of 38 Ranged, a knockback of 5 Average, and a critical chance of 4%. The use time is 30 Average, and its bullets travel at a velocity of 3.

What makes this gun special is its unique projectile: it turns your regular Musket Balls or Silver Bullets into 'Blood Globules'. These aren't your average bullets; they move a bit slower, but they're larger and, here's the cool part, they can pierce through enemies infinitely! This can be super useful for crowd control.

You'll find the Spine Buster can be dropped by two specific enemies: Coldlings and Frozen Grosses. They each have a 4% chance to drop it, so you might need to do a bit of farming in the Hardmode world to get one.

When it comes to modifiers, the best one for the Spine Buster is Unreal. This will give you the biggest boost to its overall effectiveness.

As for its value, you can sell it for 1 Gold Coin and 50 Silver Coins (which is 15000* in-game currency).

A little heads-up: The Spine Buster has seen a few changes over game updates. For instance, in version 1.6.2.0, its damage was nerfed from 40 to 38, critical chance from 10% to 4%, use time increased from 20 to 30, and knockback from 6 to 5, though its velocity was buffed from 2 to 3. Before that, in 1.6.1.0, the damage was also reduced from 45 to 40, and use time went from 18 to 20. So, keep in mind that its stats might feel a bit different depending on the version you're playing.

Happy hunting!
