The Bigger & Boulder update has introduced plenty of new weapons in Terraria, and finding all of them can be a true grind.
While the overall list is quite big, I have found a fair amount so far. The tables below have brief details about how you can obtain them. Some are easier to obtain, while a few can be quite difficult.
Disclaimer: This guide is a work in progress, as I have yet to find all the weapons.
How to find all Terraria Bigger & Boulder weapons
Obtaining the new weapons in Terraria isn’t necessary to complete the game. However, some of them are quite important as they’re part of different achievements.
Melee, Ranged, and Utility
| Weapon | How to Obtain |
|---|---|
| Axerang | Drop the Axe of Regrowth in a pool of Shimmer. It’s a hybrid between a boomerang and an axe. |
| Acorn Sligshot | This ranged weapon can be obtained by shaking the trees. The location is random, but you can find it quite easily. |
| Barrel Launcher | This weapon is a random drop from an Infected Worker. This ranged weapon is difficult to master. |
| Flint | It’s a guaranteed drop from Concierge after yourfirst kill. It’s a pretty weak weapon, but a good choice if you’re a beginner. |
| Killing Deck | This is one of the most exciting weapons, as you get to throw cards at enemies. You can obtain it from Armored Shrimps. |
| True Copper Shortsword | This is a special variant of the Zenith. To obtain it, throw the Zenith into a Shimmer, and you’ll get the special version. If you don’t want to keep it, throw it back to the Shimmer, and it will transform. |
Whip
If you have loved using Whips, the Bigger & Boulder update will be a favorite with all the new choices.
| Weapon | How to Obtain |
|---|---|
| Cobwhip | Craft at a Loom with 10 Wood and 30 Cobwebs. |
| Constellation Whip | Craft at the Ancient Manipulator with 18 Stardust Fragments. |
| Duke Fishron Whip | Dropped by Duke Fishron. |
| Electric Eel Whip | Another drop by Duke Fishron. |
| Moon Lord Whip | Dropped by Moon Lord. |
| Possession Whip | Random drop from the Moon Lord, and has a 20% drop rate. This is currently the best Whip in Terraria. |
| Plantera Whip | Drops from Plantera. |
| Soulscourge | Craft at an Anvil using 12 Demonite Bars. |
| Starcrash | Craft an Anvil using 20 Meteorite Bars, 10 Chains, and 10 Fallen Stars. |
| Stardust Whip | Craft after you defeat Stardust Pillar. |
| Slime Whip | Can be crafted using Gel. |
| Vasculash | Craft an Anvil using 12 Crimtane Bars. |
| Vulgar Display of Flower | Dropped by Plantera. Strikes enemies with energy. |
Other weapons
The Slime Spear can be crafted using 50 Gel, and is great for starters. Then there’s the Phasesaber, Freeze Bomb, and Greater Bomb. All three weapons are present in Terraria, but I am yet to figure out how you can find/craft them.
