Xenopopper in action.

The Xenopopper is a Hardmode, post-Golem gun that uses bullets as ammunition, but fires a small initial cloud of four to five simultaneous "bubbles". The bubbles themselves do no damage and will bounce off solid blocks. They then pop after a short delay, firing bullets (one per bubble) that converge at the cursor's location. The targeting effect is similar to that of the Lunar Flare. Each firing consumes only one bullet, but produces 4-5 projectiles each.

The Xenopopper is dropped by the Martian Saucer during the Martian Madness event.

The Xenopopper's best Modifier is Unreal.

Tips

• The Xenopopper could be considered a variation of shotgun-type guns. In this case, its increased accuracy comes at the cost of lag. This makes it perhaps more suited for single targets rather than area crowd control, depending on players' targeting skills.
• Chlorophyte Bullets pair well as they're effective against quick-moving enemies and useful for crowd control.
• If attempting to control a large horde of enemies, rather than directly aiming one's mouse at the horde (and only hitting one or two enemies at a time), aim the mouse further away to increase chances of hitting more enemies.

Trivia

• The prefix "Xeno" means "foreign/different in origin", and often relates to aliens.
