In [[Survival Mode]], the Spudgun will be the player's main way of battling smaller robots, such as the Tapebot. It will require potatoes as ammo, which is one of the crops that the player will be able to grow. A limited amount of potatoes will fit inside the gun: possibly five by default according to a render from Devblog 12. Spudguns will have a selection of modular parts available that can change the functionality of the weapon.
