Combat may not be Stardew Valley ‘s main asset , but that doesn’t mean it isn’t fun and important. In addition, the game puts different types of weapons at our disposal , some of which are quite original. This is the case of the slingshot , which in addition to offering us advantages such as ranged attacks, allows us to use all kinds of objects as ammunition . Today we’ll tell you all about this weapon and the different types of ammunition .
Getting the slingshot in Stardew Valley
Of course, the slingshot is one of the different weapons available in the game. But… how do you get it? As simple as reaching the 40th floor of the mines , at which point you can find it in a chest. Afterwards, you can buy it from the adventurer’s guild for a price of 500 coins .
However, be careful not to use it in places where it doesn’t belong. Basically, it’s one of the few weapons that can lower your friendship with NPCs if you attack them with it. Otherwise, keep in mind that you can use a lot of items as ammunition, which is one of its great advantages.
All types of slingshot ammo in Stardew Valley
Initially, we will discover that the slingshot requires the use of stones or explosive ammunition to be used. However, you should know that it is also possible to use piss, coal, ore, wood, fruits, vegetables and even eggs as ammunition. Whichever option we choose, in order to equip the slingshot with ammunition we will have to select the latter first. And then, it will be time to right-click the slingshot.
What is the best ammo for the slingshot in Stardew Valley?
Another important factor is that not all ammunition will do the same damage to enemies. Basically, you have to think that fruits, vegetables and eggs will always do a very low level of damage (1 point of damage). Then there will be wood, which will do two points of damage and stone, with five points of damage.
It is with the mining items that we will be able to opt for a better attack. Copper ore will allow you to do 10 damage, while coal ore will do 15 damage. Iron ore, on the other hand, will be equivalent to 20, while gold ore will go up to 30. However, the best ammunition will be iridium ore , which can do 50 damage.
Types of slingshots in Stardew Valley
Finally, keep in mind that the type of slingshot you use is also important. There are only two types of slingshots in the game and both are obtained in the same way, in the mines. However, the “Master” slingshot will allow you to double the damage with any of the ammunition you use.
On the other hand, since we’ve talked about friendship , remember that we have published a guide in which we tell you which characters we can marry in Stardew Valley. And in the same way, we have another guide in which we compile all those with whom we cannot marry . And if you want more, remember that you can read our analysis of the game.
