The Boomerang is a ranged weapon, which behaves how any other boomerang should. This weapon is capable of killing most enemies from a great distance while still returning to its user.
Boomerangs can be found sold in weapon shops, and have a 1.42% chance of being found inside a crate. They are most commonly found in the Jungle being used by Tiki Men.
Functionality[]
Boomerangs are thrown like other items, but travel in a straight trajectory (like objects thrown with the Pitcher's Mitt) and return back to the thrower, instantly ending up in their hands when it touches their hitbox. Boomerangs can be thrown at an angle either upwards or downwards, giving it an advantage over other weapons.
For each time the Boomerang hits an entity when thrown, 1 damage is done for every hit. Occasionally, the Boomerang may push the enemy away, causing them to get caught on the weapon, dealing more than 1 damage. With the long stun timer it sets its targets on, the Boomerang is easily capable of trapping most enemies in an infinite loop of being damaged, a quirk heavily taken advantage of by Tiki Men.
Boomerangs occasionally fail to come back due to tiles, webs, explosions or other forces blocking its return path. This will cause the weapon to drop where it came into contact with the object.
