The Megashark is a ranged weapon that was added in the 1.1 patch. It is crafted out of the Minishark, Illegal Gun Parts, 20 Souls of Might and 5 Shark Fins. It deals 23 base damage per hit, and has a 50% chance to not consume ammo (essentially making ammo last twice as long). Due to its stats, it is easily one of the best guns/ranged weapons in Terraria, especially with the best prefix (Unreal) and ammo tailored to specific combat situations, like Crystal Bullets and Cursed Bullets. The Megashark is well known as an extremely powerful weapon, due to its incredibly high DPS.

NotesEdit

• The weapon has extremely weak knockback, but the high rate of fire will keep most enemies at bay from the sheer number of hits.
• Oddly, the Megashark is worth less than the Minishark when being sold to a vendor.
• Combined with the Necro Armor or any of the 1.1 armors with their respective ranger helmets (especially the Adamantite and Hallowed sets), it is possible to have up to a 62.5% chance to not consume ammo when using the Megashark. On the console version of Terraria, when this is used in conjuction with the full set of Titan Armor you have a 74% chance to not consume ammunition.
• Unreal is the best prefix this item can have. See Reforging for the full list.
• The Megashark is often compared to Clockwork Assault Rifle.
