The Terraria weapon that can beat the Zenith... 

For you Journey mode players... this weapon is kinda busted lol

“It costs $400,000 to fire this weapon for 12 seconds…”

Coin gun: Make you lost hundreds of platinum Goblin tinker: "finally, a worthy opponent"

I've used the coin gun in my masochist mode playthrough and it absolutely carried because the existence of infinite coin pouches in that mod

1:00 The pirate invasion is not AFK-able as of 1.4 because the captains spawn ghosts that go through blocks

If I understand use time correctly, the coin gun fires 7.5 coins per second with no modifiers. This means, with each platinum coin being 1 million copper coins, it takes 37.5 million copper coins to fire that gun for 5 seconds. If you assume 1 copper = 1 cent, then it takes $375,000 to fire that gun for 5 seconds. Agile reduces the use time to 7, meaning it fires about 8.5 coins per second, increasing it to $425,000 to fire that gun for 5 seconds. Of course, I could be wrong in one of my calculations or my understanding of how the game works, feel free to correct me.

I got the coin gun randomly on my first playthrough, tried firing it and sold it since I thought it was stupid that it wasted my gold. Then I realized it's immense power...

I got the coin gun on my very first play through of terraria. I didn’t think much of it because, well, it was my first play through.I was just like “cool!” and moved on not knowing at all how lucky I just got

I am Heavy Weapons Guy...and this is my weapon. She weighs one hundred fifty kilograms and fires two hundred dollar, custom-tooled cartridges at ten thousand rounds per minute. It costs four hundred thousand dollars to fire this weapon...for twelve seconds.

the coin gun perfectly encapsulates the essence of terraria. living for the grind, reaping the benefits, only to have to do it allll over again. that's the terraria i've always loved. if you put the workhours into it, you can be extremely powerful.

i haven't tried but i feel like the coin gun would be a good contender in calamity early hardmode because of how easily you can get money compared to the base game

this weapon always remind me of that TF2 heavy meme

Honestly, I'd like a slight rework on the coin gun to make it more viable. Maybe have it drop a percentage of the money fired after it hits? That way it still costs money to fire it, but you aren't losing a full 300 platinum after firing it for a minute lmao.

I haven't seen this in the comments anywhere and i thought that people should see this. The way i farmed for this weapon is by trapping a flying dutchman, and then setting up some lava and conveyor belts to make the farm afkable. The dutchman spawns pirates in, that die in the lava and any drops are brought to you by the conveyors. Very easy to do, and you only need one pirate map.

Someone actually beat the full game using just this weapon, apparently silver is all you need for this weapon to be strong enough to kill the mechs

There are many ways to increase chance to not consume ammo as ranger, so it is actually very viable build, 60something% after cutlist and almost 90% after moonlord

I am pretty sure you can deal more damage with the Zenith due to 'lanceing' where you aim in the opposite direction of your target and hit with the returning blades, this more or less tripples the DPS of the Zenith but turns it into a 'shortsword' in that direction. I find it funny that the endgame melee weapon is actually a short sword in disguise.

i used the coingun in my most recent playthrough as sort of a finisher for bosses. when it was at like 10% health i would pull out my coingun and dish the remaining damage

I used the coin gun in one of my ranger master mode runs and spent most of my time setting up farms for gemcorns and farming the corruption and fishing at the same time and just gathering all the coins I could and only used platinum for boss fights and the entire game was a doddle and was still quick

You know how calamity has those no damage type guns that use exclusive ammo that bosses only drop once? the hydra, the elephant killer, the explosive shotgun shells. Coin gun was that before calamity was even a thing. I used to make a "savings account by putting a percentage of my gold in a seperate chest every in-game day, and only used it after I got the coin gun. I converted all those coins to gold coins, and used it when my preffered choice of weapon was not dealing enough dps to outlive the boss, or if I wanted a boss down earlier than normal, like duke fishron. it also helped me immensely in farming mimics and other high hp enemies. Sure it can out-dps the zenith with platinum, but even on gold it deals insane damage. You also get a lot of money from pirate invasion and its drops, so you can do both ammo darming and gun farming at the same time.

I find the coin gun is VERY good if you use gold coins exclusively with it, platinum is definitely only for journey mode or in modded when money is easier to get.

"Even with the best farm in the world, just to fire this weapon for a few seconds will cost hours of time" _glances at Mappy's 1-platinum/sec farm_

I got this weapon on my first pirate invasion in my first terraria playthrough so I didn't even know it was rare for a long time. I used it with silver coins to beat the mech bosses and it worked really well

I’ve used the coin gun in an actual play through because I was lucky enough to get it on my first pirate invasion. It’s actually quite the solid weapon with a ranged armor set and just silver coins, really shreds through the mech bosses and with silver coins the cost isn’t that bad.

Recently, my friends and I finished up a playthrough in The Constant seed. During that run, we had a Pirate invasion, and... something bugged. I didn't get a Coin Gun.... I got FIVE Coin Guns. I didn't think much of it at the time, because I'm still not that knowledgeable of Terraria (my skills lie in Minecraft, I'm afraid), but after the fight my friends were freaking out and saying "nah, nah, nice try Chaos, stop lying". So I dropped them to prove it. I'm pretty sure it was a latency thing, as we had a lot of strange occurrences during the playthrough (such as Chlorophyte bullets being unable to actually home into their targets and instead "balling up" at a single point ahead of the foe and lazily moving ahead of them, made it really difficult for me as a Ranged fighter). Still kept one of the coin guns though, at least. They are rare, and it could be a funny playthrough to try sometime, starting with the Coin Gun.

Brilliant video - love your confidence ! Great content ! Ty

This was a really fun video to come back to with the context of some new farm strategies, now that 1 plat per second is a relatively easy thing to obtain at the start of hard mode, and the method would require grinding the pirates anyway. Now a little bit of building knowledge and effort makes this actually the best weapon in the game the second it's obtainable

the infinite money glitch with shimmer could be extremely useful for this gun

I used to use this weapon in a old server by the name of Geldar. It was my surprise tool that I used when I challenged and placed bets on pvp matches. Rules were “only pre *insert boss*. As long as it was after wall of fleash, I’ve never lost with it.

I think you should get more love man amazing videos even for me (3.5k) hours and it's still interesting , keep up the good work

Very underrated channel, one of the best terraria RU-vidrs. Love the videos man, keep it up

This gun cost 1246357194528263 platinum to fire for 1 second

Late to comment: The Zenith has a strange property where all swords thrown return to the players back; the more zoomed out you play (4k), the more extreme this effect comes, making your back the single strongest part of the zenith. Simply aim your mouse to one of the four corners of the screen and watch your back melt enemies, probably faster than the coin gun still.

Back then, there was a bug where you could glitch items and it was so helpful and i thought of duplicating money and using a coin gun and it was so op

weaker weapons are kinda better for the Greedy Ring since its Lucky Coin effect drops coins for every hit rather than kill.

I used the coingun ONCE in a legitimate playthrough. I immediately disliked the weapon cause I found out it shot like, half of my platinum over the course of a few test shots because I didn't know what it was at first, But after that and having learned to primarily use Copper/Silver coins in bulk, I think it can be alright depending on your circumstances within a playthrough.

For how many invasions you need to do to get this, you should have a stock pile of coins already from the countless pirates you would've had to kill

This is never better than the Zenith.

I got a coin gun on my first ever pirate invasion in very early hardmode when i played on xbox. Quickly found out how it worked and used it to shred the rest of hardmode. This was during 1.2.4. This was one of 2 times i got the coin gun during a play through on xbox

It actually works pretty well in expert and especially master mode because of how easy it is to get money especially end game.

I wonder about this video as you claim that this is better than zenith without ever comparing the two in the video? Actual tests show that they are not close

it can still slightly be outdone by zenith in some senarios, (for example for fast enemies, enemies that are behind you)

"I am Heavy Weapons Guy. This is my weapon.''

I view the coin gun a a hardmode star cannon, does insane damage, but really really costy ammunition.

I got this during my first pirate invasion on iPad and because there was a supper easy dupe glitch the platinum was no problem.

It cost $400,000 to fire this weapon for 12 seconds

Having used this gun as a main weapon at one point in a play through, just use any statue farms to get tons of items, and craft them into stronger things and sell them. Did this with shark statues and a terra blade (any true melee weapon that deals enough works) and got around 200-500 platinum coins per hour. Pairing this with a piece of duct tape, I was getting rich overnight afking.

Coin gun : Ha! I better than you! Zenith : DO YOU KNOWN FREE TO USE?

All you do is take out some loans

I have used the coin gun in a serious playthrough only once, and that was only because I was lucky enough to get it from the pirates pre mech. The potential power is great while it is costly, I used it with gold coins to occasionally hit twins and prime for big damage while using onyx blaster as my main weapon. Easiest mech fights I've ever had, definitely worth the coins. Just.. don't miss

You can increase the efficiency of your conveyor belt farm 5-fold by using the sdmg or the mega shark machine gun with the golden bullets along with the golden flask and the greedy ring. With this method in a crimson or corruption biome I averaged about a platinum coin every 42 seconds. I also include a water candle, Shadow candle and a battle potion as well

I got it from my 3rd pirate invasion ever and it is fun to use. Using silver or gold is really good for a casual fights because you make your money back instantly. It’s good in that sense

I'm gonna say this again, the platform farm is way more effort than you really need, just make a mimic farm, fully afk-able

I used coingun once in a journey mode playthrough (no god mode), on master mode and randomly got it as a drop pre-mech. Being that it was journey, we had platinum coins duped. This weapon carried up until moonlord. Highly reccomend if you can get your hands on it in journey mode.

you already know what i think of when you ask “what do you think the best weapon in terraria is?”

I like your editing style

Wow very cool! 😎

Truly pay to win gun

I'm not kidding here, I got the coin gun on my first invasion ever. It was my first world, first invasion. I had no idea it was so rare

personally I used it in a 1.3 playthrough using silver and copper coins, the general utility of a gun with near infinite ammo that was guarantied to drop from every mob made it great on solar eclipses especially

I’ve actually done DPS testing, and I can comfortably tell you you’re wrong. Even with platinum coins, the coin gun deals roughly the same DPS as a tsunami with holy arrows. Granted, that was on a stationary target in the form of a target dummy, but regardless there’s no way in hell it could match the zenith.

I have to tell sans this but he’s already trying to find someone that murdered his brother

I played a modded game that you could craft any ammo into INFINITE ammo bags. I was playing ranger...I bumrushed coingun, more than a little, because I KNEW 200 dmg was beyond busted. that gun remained my heavy hitter for SOOOO much of progression, it was a long time before I could get more powerful stuff in the calamity mod's progression.

I love how everytime he says "of course I'm talking about" I'm absolutely clueless what's to come 😂

It cant beat zenith tho..-

Capitalism Cannon

this person starting to become my fave terraria youtuber

I’m playing through Calamity right now on a server I’m hosting, if you have AlchemistNPC you can buy some of the bags from the Operator, then use the AutoTrash mod’s auto sell feature to sell all of the contents. Depending on the bag you bought, this will yield a small profit. Rinse and repeat until you have ~4,000 platinum, then craft it into an Endless Platinum Coin Bag from Fargo’s Mutant Mod, and that’s how the coin gun became my primary weapon. I still have low DPS though because I invested entirely into mobility rather than DPS.

well i was gonna say someone should do a playthrough with just the coin gun but i just immediately got recommended a video of someone already doing that

0:07 The Last Prism comes to mind (when ran with a mana flower).

I remember having a coin gun on 1.2 console, had a few modded stacks of plat coins..that was fun. Not even the people using modded in SDMGs could compete.

Obviously this isn’t in vanilla, but my friend got the LuiAFK mod along with a few others like Calamity and Thorium. Now LuiAFK allows crafting of infinite ammo types, including those platinum coins (only for ammo purposes), so as you can imagine, I got the gun on accident and realized how overpowered it was

as a new player who is going into hardmode for the first time i really am thankful for these videos if it wasnt for these videos i would be running around trying to get the hard mode ores useing something like copper shortsword

As of 1.4.4 you can buy 9999 stacks of 1 second timers from the mechanic and then throw them into shimmer to uncraft them then again the watches you get from that and turn around and sell the gold, chain, and wire for I think it's about 45 platinum profit

Yes, i have used it in a serious playthrough when i fought duke fishron. I fired silver coins though, not gold or platinum. The hallowed reapeater did too little damage so i used the coin gun that i just got from the pirate invasion instead (i did the teleporter cheese xD because otherwise its impossible).

This gave me an idea for a challenge where Coin Gun is my only main weapon from the start to moon lord lol.

Can u do a playthrough. I can't get enough of ur content

I was bored one time and decided to challenge myself to a fresh start with the coin gun from the other world, it took me 3 days to finish ir just cause I failed to beat moonlord the first time as I did not have enough ammunition

I used to have so much fun with this thing with the item frame dupe

I tend to use the coin gun every time I go ranger (Modded btw), and the easiest way to farm money in calamity is to use a discount car and greedy ring (both from pirate invasion) to go to the Brewer NPC (Alchemist NPC mod) and purchase the "Yharim's Stimulants" buff. By purchasing it for nearly half off, you can resell it for a 2+ gold profit. Basically infinite money. Also factor in the Alchemist Charm you aquire in Alchemist NPC, it's even more of a discount.

it would be awesome if you released a map with all these farms / arenas already on them where we can just go and test things out.

Quick question, what's is that circling below the character when on the slime queen saddle?? I haven't seen it before and it looks really cool.

make video about sanguine staff PLEASE, its so good, but people forget about this weapon, its drops wich 100% chance, doing good damage, and make light in the dark.

I got the psycho knife to do 429 damage with a 69% critical strike chance with full set of solar armor with warding berserker glove spiked celestial shell armored terraspark boots menacing fire gauntlet on stealth mode

"And they said money cant solve problems...." -funny tax man probably

Battle of the century: Coin gun vs Goblin tinkerer

i rember getting a coin gun during my first pirate invasion, and didn't know it existed

I could see a mod called the Bag of Counterfeit Money and it'd be like infinite money for the coin gun but slightly less dmg.

This made me realize how ez Journey mode can be - pre-HM you get the starcannon, and in HM you get this...

After playing years of terraria I started again and almost immediately on my first pirate invasion I got the coin gun, though it takes me hours to get it on my other worlds

its also a good idea to farm the pirate army at the ocean biome in order to get more pirate maps in the process!

I've used the coin gun multiple times in modded playthroughs since it's so easy to grind platinus with QoL mods. The thing absolutely shreds everything. I haven't personally attempted it, but I suspect you could kill Scal with it.

A few years back after a large update (can't remember which) one of my characters had a 999 stack of platinum coins for some reason. I never cheated them in and never dupe glitched. Still not sure what happened there, I'm gonna have to check if I still have that character.

She weighs one hundred fifty kilograms and fires two hundred dollar, custom-tooled cartridges at ten thousand rounds per minute. [looks intently at viewer] It costs four hundred thousand dollars to fire this weapon...for twelve seconds." "Heavy"-TF2

For anyone concerned about the pirate's ghost killing you, I have a simple solution. Build up about 10 - 15 blocks above the lava pit (to make sure none of them will jump up to hit you) build out around 5 or 6 blocks on both sides. Make the sides of the platform out of blocks and the middle out of platforms (to easily fly into.) Close the top about 10 blocks above (so parrots can't kill you.) Get a War Table from the OOA (tier one spawns the Dark Mages, and they drop it. Later waves have more Dark Mages, so its a higher chance of getting it, but its more dangerous.) for the extra sentry slot. Set an AoE sentry at the bottom to kill the pirates faster, and one in the box with you. Preferably, make the one with you a single target sentry, like the Ballista sentries. Wear summoner gear for the slots, but if you want to be safe, wear melee. The extra minions are not necessary. Build a mini platform inside of your box to jump onto, since when a ghost goes through blocks the sentry will not target it, and it will always get at least one hit on you. Hope this helped all of you.

"todaehh" versus "today", a battle we need

Back when duplication was still in the game me and my freinds got inventories full of platinum it was insaine still have some coins left over super fun too use still

"It costs 400 thousand dollars to fire this weapon... for 12 seconds"

The preffered weapon of the goblin tinkerer

me: *uses the coin gun for .5 seconds* my life savings: adios.
