My most requested Terraria weapon review... 

Fun fact! I still haven't reviewed even half the total weapons in the game! (Including ore variants of course lol)

I think this is a good time to remind you that you said that you would compair the jungle and meteor armours

This weapon is quite fun, but there is no reason to use it for pillars when razorblade and nebula weapons exist

A tip I saw for more saucers per event was to have an ocean house and a spawn house. After 50% progress in the event, use a magic conch to warp to the ocean house, wait a few seconds, and if you dont see a saucer warp back. Repeat until the event ends. I get 7-8 saucers per event this way.

The only reason why the laser machine gun will always be my pick all the way until moonlord is because it makes you feel like doom slayer

The razorpine exist in a mode pre-golem, the laser machinegun really needs a boost to outdo it considering the former's gamestage comes later and is from a harder event.

Fun fact: if you don't have a RoD moonlord fight is fairly close ranged due to laser being undodgeable at long range

I remember my friend giving this weapon to me back when I played on switch, and I was blown away by how cool it was. My main issue with it is the mana consumption, though I suppose it's not much of an issue at that stage of the game. A buff would be amazing, maybe make the shots homing and/or add some piercing capabilities? Really anything would be good.

This weapon suffers from "

Hey Sockrteez I have an armor set that I think needs some attention. The pre-hardmode gladiator set. Good defense and an insane set bonus makes it my go to when I play melee. I use it from eoc to sometimes skeletron

this weapon will always have a special place in my heart for getting me my first duke fishron kill

I'm gonna wait for the day sockrteez runs out of good weapons to review and reviews something like the Tin Shortsword

FINALLY THE LASER MACHINEGUN REVIEW!!!!!

This weapon along with the charged blaster cannon are just so damn fun to use

I use this weapon in every Mage playthrough I do. I used it on the fortheworthy seed against Duke and got a sub 30s kill with a mage/sentry loadout. It's also really good against empress. The range is crazy if you use asphalt and just run away from her

Personallly i like that weapon it really helped my mage play through although it could be upgraded

I like the charge blaster cannon more after it's buff

absolutely amazing video, i dont know how but you always seem to create fantastic videos so keep up the good work. Also could you please review the forbidden armor set please

I love this thing, its amazing against cultist and betsy, and if you're farming for the blaster cannon this will come in handy, (best with spectre hood)

This was my favorite weapon in the Game on my first run where I got to Hardmode, There's something just so fun about firing it. The windup makes it feel like it has a real kick to it.

that thing is my go to weapon for vanilla mage. love it even more in calamity when its upgraded to the nano purge!

buff idea. give it mana on kill and some pierce. will help alot for invasions.

The Lazer Machine Gun Is Quite Op. I'd Say It's Quite A Good Post-Golem Weapon.

I mainly play modded, and am currently doing a masochist mode(fargo soul mod) playthrough. The laser machine gun was extremely good against my duke fishron fight, and actually made it semi-playable. Its great for larger bosses like EoL and Duke, but falls off a bit against longer range, smaller bosses

With the right build this weapon shreds wave events like old ones army and moon events

I think the Gatligator would be a great weapon to review! Its like the Chain Gun's early hardmode son

So, when considering a weapon and its advantages, you have to look at the whole picture. When I look at the LMG (laser machine gun) I see a weapon that has comparable DPS to the razorpine and worse but similar DPS to the bubble gun, while also having long-range and fairly accurate projectiles. So, if we compare the range of the two weapons mentioned above to the LMG, the LMG clearly has an advantage. The razorpine's pine needles fall out of the air after a short amount of time, and the bubble gun's bubbles don't reach that far. But the LMG's lasers go far. Along with that, the lasers are fairly focused, compared to the bubble gun's bubbles which spread out if you aren't at close range, and the razorpine's pine needles, which also spread out (but not as much as the bubble gun's bubbles). The LMG's lasers are not only long-range, accurate, and have fairly high DPS, but they can also be fired continuously*. So, compared to a weapon like the charged blaster cannon, the LMG is incredible against a single target, because again, it can be fired continuously*. And I know that the charged blaster cannon isn't meant for single target usage, but still, the fact that it will stop after a certain amount of time whether or not you run out of mana remains if you use it against a single target or a crowd of enemies. *I will say that the caveat to the LMG's "unlimited" use time is that you need lots of mana potions. But, you won't get stacking mana sickness if you use higher level mana potions because the mana sickness will wear off before you run out of mana again. I make the point of the LMG's "infinite" use time because, in my mind, I constantly compare the LMG to most ranger weapons. After all, both have really good range and long use times. The LMG is incredible for focusing on a target that has fast, erratic movements and that is also far away. For example, Betsy. I used the LMG for Betsy, and let me say, it is incredible. It takes a while, and you have to use mana potions, but if you are playing on a console version (which I do, I play on Switch), you can just lock on target and you don't even have to think. So, my conclusion is that when you look at a weapon, just remember that there are so many things to take into consideration. Weapons in Terraria can be used in so many different situations, and there are so many different ways to play Terraria with its weapons. Also, Betsy's sword weapon should be used in crafting the zenith.

I love the Laser Machine gun so much for how it sounds. Definitely a top 3 for best sounding weapons in the whole game.

The laser machine gun, for me, isn't a weapon that I'd go out of my way for in a mage playthrough, but if I get one I'll generally use it.

Have you considered looking at the Paintball Gun? It's obtainable as soon as the Painter moves in when you get 8 other town NPCs (pets, travelling merchant, old man included) and is a respectable pre-boss obtainable ranged weapon that consumes no ammo. It's something I've made use of for up to Skeletron (bad Boomstick RNG lmao) before replacing it with the Handgun and thus the Phoenix Blaster.

"uh yeah. it exists. when you click, it shoots. And if you keep shooting, things die."

You should review the bees knees if you haven't yet, it's surprisingly good against wyverns and even the destroyer with that pink hard mode armour as a secondary damage source

Look ma', I'm in the video! Thanks sockrteez!

The only buff I think this needs is homing

Please review Phaseblades and Phasesabers!!

sockrteez getting ready to say “of course I’m talking about…” after giving the most obscure description of a weapon know to man:

I find it to be a very _solid_ weapon through and through. It’s my weapon of choice against the Empress of Light, or for killing the Pillar itself from a distance. Their hitboxes are so big that I can shred them from a biome away if I know where they are.

The "tiny buff" should be making the Martian madness event happen sooner

I'm pretty sure when Red says he will look into whether a weapon needs a buff, he just means he'll come over to this channel and see what you say

I do like the Laser Machinegun. It's pretty cool.

i love this thing i tried it and it shredded fishron

The "of course am talking about" is so iconic anyone can recognize him with that line alone

Laser machine gun was good with the healing specter armor. I had a lot of fun with that build.

Imo there needs to be 1boss between plantera and golem that’s mandatory and then another mandatory boss between golem and lunatic cultist that way there’s actually a use for some of the coolest weapons in the game

LMG is my favourite weapon to kill the pillars themselves with. I use other weapons to kill the enemies, but for the actual pillars in particular, its great because the bullet spread doesnt matter at all.

“Good for fishron” huh? But you used a Razorblade typhoon to get the laser machine gun!

The laser machine gun I need to get around to trying this 😂 I just have not got the chance to mess around with it

This is ranged weapon strategy with shimmer i want you to showcase if u use bubbles to make box that can hold shimmer like an empty bix(imagine ur arena out layers is shimmer) then using something like super star cannon can be massively op cuz they bounce off the shimmer walls this do able per moon lord if the pomp stuff still works

The only time I actually used this weapon was for a goofy kill on duke. (for the worthy/master mode post golem no-hit) and it was like the fastest time to kill i've had on him pre-ML at not even a minute and a half with all that HP. it was super funny

I used the Laser machinegun for Duke Fishron and it was pretty good, it was consistent with the dps and would pop some of the bubbles he made, not really useful beyond that.

3:48 THATS what the rainbow's full texture looks like??

This weapon is perfect! Is not the highest dps, the most accurate, faster but HOLY PROTECTION FUCK IS JUST TOO FUN TO USE! The synergy with Spectre and nebula armor too BOI They should rename It to laser machineFUN

Quality vid man!

I’m pretty sure you can hold another water candle in your hands, and it will stack the buff for enemy spawn rate

Can u make a video on the forbbiden armor? I think it's pretty underrated

do deadly sphere next

Post golem weapons are so often overshadowed considering you can almost effortlessly kill cutlist and get the superior pillar weapons, makes me wish cultist was harder or there was another boss inbetween to make going for these strong weapons more worth it.

Laser machine gun is super underrated due to the progression point its located. Honestly if it was moved to somewhere like post plantera it would have SO MUCH more potential Same can be said for most martian weapons tbf ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This is my mage weapon of choice for empresses. It’s fast projectile speed and no gravity makes quick work of the boss.

I think there needs to be more to do between golem and the celestial stuff, this wohld give post golem drops a lot more reason to exist

bro how do you edit so well?!?! ur videos look and a e great !!! tell us your secrets man?!

Make a Video about Betsy's Wrath, By Far my Most Favourite Betsy Drop, Just the Lovely Debuff it can do is Wonderful

The laser mg is a pretty cool gun I love that pew pew sound it makes. Sucks it has to use mana and nothing like energy cells

Honestly it could use a damage boost considering it doesn't even pierce.

I’ve always liked this weapon but never used it in a proper playthrough. It either didn’t drop or I had a better weapon. The problem is its ramping fire-rate. For smaller monsters I prefer a weapon that can deal its damage instantly as i’ll be switching targets a lot. It also lacks pierce/AOE for large groups of enemies and is fairly mana-hungry. All of the best mage-weapons are either super flexible or fullfill a specific nishe. The laser machinegun does neither very well, and is thus rarely used. Thats my perspective anyway

I’ve been waiting on this weapon to be reviewed but I didn’t realize people were actually requesting it

You should review the zenith next, because personally I think it’s pretty underrated.

This weapon help me beat my very first eotl fight! Good old days!

While it's far from the best weapon in vanilla, it does have 1 advantage over the razorpine and the razorblade. Its literal range. Damage falloff due to missed shots aside, the laser machine gun has stupidly long range, and so long as you vaguely point it at moonlord, you pretty much will hit him. This lets you have a very safe and reliable, if slow, moonlord fight, as you can just outrun him forever.

Hoping to see the Beam Sword eventually. When I was new to the game and got it early on in hardmode i thought it was the coolest thing... Only to discover how shit it is compared to everything else despite it's rarity.

I'm in agreement that it could do with a slight buff. I find it to be a great choice against the Empress of Light but only because that's the one fight where its superior range matters. Razorpine is extremely effective against Duke Fishron as his charging the player more or less negates its short range and I find Duke's magic drops to be superior to Empress' anyway. I only go after her for the insignia. Generally speaking though the Laser Machine Gun suffers from a high mana cost, being somewhat annoying to get and being outclassed in its progression tier.

You should do a review of the Magic Dagger. It's nothing special, but pretty good in a lot of situations, and the low mana consumption plus fast fire rate is a good combination.

It's funny how he said not to kill it on impulse, because I accidentally triggered a Martian Madness one time because my impulse was to let the probe live

Petition to get sock to review the influx waever

I agree on the needed buff, but I still massively prefer the Lazer yo the Razorpine cause I hate that projectile drop. I used it to kill Duke and considered it during Moon Lord on my first playthough, and by the time I found the razorpine I just dumped it in my magic weapon chest with like 80 other items.

I think just in general more people do martian madness over frost moon because of the zenith, probably why the LMG is so popular

You should review the optic staff

They should buff it so that it when it shoots its just one big projectile and when it lands it just deletes the game off your steam and gives you a game ban

If anything it needs a slight accuracy and velocity buff.

I mean to be fair, it is kinda iconic

3:22 no? post plantera and post golem might aswell be the same exact thing, cause if you can beat plantera you can definitely beat golem unless you just actively choose not to progress i guess

I thought the title said "My mom requested this terraria weapon..."

Why? Because it’s flipping *SICK*

The laser machinegun is a valid school of magic, and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise!

Do one about the blowpipe please

Unless it was patched, you can still find Martian Probes in the dungeon if it's dark enough (I haven't played in awhile)

Can you talk about the chainsaw that drops from the pig butcher?

Ah I may finally rest in peace..... Sooo can we do the Shadowflame Bow next?

It is a great item if you can win the end game battles (cultist to moon lord) with it... Especially on master mode and get fixed boi...

god why did relogic put the coolest weapons all after golem

I still really wanna know, what you think of the magic dagger, cause no one talks about it.

I think it's a fine weapon for Moon Lord if you're comfortable getting up close to the boss, but there are just better weapons that deal more consistent DPS and are safer. Not a bad pick if you don't want to go out of your way for another weapon, though.

You can find a probe better if its a Lihzarhd temple "biome"

The weapon itself isn't the issue. The time you get it just makes it ... underwhelming.

Laser Machine Gun

So its like the razorpine but it consumes all the mana in the universe per shot.

do the explosive jack o lantern canon

I do feel like this weapon needs a bit of a buff. It should have better accuracy and no spin up time.

PLZ DO THE BUTCHER'S CAIN SAW

It feels like half of the hard mode weapons seem to have the issue of "Yeah, it's between 2 large parts of progression, you won't use it for very long." Honestly, beyond the 3 mech bosses, the game's pacing seems to go way too fast in hardmode. Like you could be just defeating the mech bosses, then Plantera not too soon after, and then you're already at Moon Lord.
