Spudgun is one of the Tools in Scrap Mechanic.
Overview
A gun that shoots potatoes. It is the only ranged weapon in the game.
Usage
Left mouse shoots a potato. Holding right mouse aims down the makeshift sights, zooming in the player's view. This helps when shooting at distant targets.
The potatoes fired by the gun can destroy Cardboard Blocks and Glass Blocks/Glass Tile Blocks, are detected by Sensors, cause Explosive Canisters to explode, and can trigger Switches and Buttons.
Trivia
- The Spudgun is based on the potato cannon, which is also called a spud gun. "Spud gun" can also refer to a toy that fires small chunks of potato, though the Spudgun is more similar to the potato cannon, as it fires whole potatoes.
- The writing on the Spudgun's barrel reads "PVC VACUUM TUBE".
Upcoming
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: ? by default according to some early images from Devblog 12. Spudguns will have a selection of modular parts available that can change the functionality of the weapon.
