Spudgun is one of the Tools in Scrap Mechanic.

Overview

A gun that shoots potatoes. It is the only ranged weapon in the game. It right now has three variants. The classical spudgun, the shot spudgun and the gatling spudgun. Each has its own features. You can obtain one by trading it from a farmers hideout.

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".
When a player is hit by a potato shot by another player, they make a gasping noise and are knocked back.
