The Arms Dealer is one of the most important NPCs in Terraria. He sells you ammo, which can be hard to come by, and also sells items such as the Illegal Gun Parts, and the Minishark. Read on to find out how to gain this valuable NPC.
Steps
Method 1
Method 1 of 2:
Gaining Ammo
Method 2
Method 2 of 2:
Getting a Gun
-
1This method is easier, since it's less difficult to find a Gun than it is to find Ammo by itself.
-
2Explore the Corruption. Go deep underground until you find a Shadow Orb. A Musket will most likely drop out, allowing you to get the Arms Dealer.
-
3Explore the Crimson. There's a 100% chance of The Undertaker (a kind of pistol) dropping out of every first Crimson Heart you destroy.
-
4Defeat Skeletron. Then, explore the Dungeon until you find the Handgun. The Handgun is slightly more difficult to obtain than the two guns mentioned above.
-
5Get the Phoenix Blaster. The Phoenix Blaster is obtained by combining the Handgun and a few Hellstone bars at the Iron/Lead anvil.
-
6Kill Golem in the Lizard Temple. There's a 20% chance that he'll drop the Stinger.
-
7Once you get one of the guns mentioned above (or any unmentioned guns that fire bullets), the Arms Dealer will appear!

QuestionHow long do I need to wait for him?Epicgamer2248 :DCommunity AnswerIt depends. You must make a house for him, have a gun in your inventory, and it must be a day for him to spawn. You also must have the house off-screen by running away a couple of meters.
