Queen Bee Hit

The Big Sting is a craftable post-Moon Lord ranged weapon that uses darts as ammunition. It shoots stingers that can stick onto enemies. Hitting a stuck stinger deals extra damage, inflicts Acid Venom, fires normal stingers in a ring from the enemy, and spawns a miniature homing Queen Bee from offscreen.

Its best modifier is Unreal.

Notes

• It will gain a 10% damage bonus from Hive Pack.
• The Queen Bee spawned from hitting a stuck stinger is always colored like the Queen Bee in Eternity Mode.
• Since The Big Sting converts all Darts into Big Stingers and ignores their special effects, it is best to use it with high damage Darts, namely Crystal Darts.
