The Husk Stinger is a one-handed melee weapon. It's almost identical to the Spineling's Spike and just like it, it is a downgrade for the Diving Knife, inflicing a lot less Lacerations and having a slower Attack Speed. It's one of the weakest melee weapons and as such, it should only be used a last resort weapon when no better alternative is available.

It has a 9% chance to be dropped by a Husk or a Husked Crawler.

Function

The Husk Stinger is held with one hand. As with all weapons and tools, using it is done by holding the Right-click to take aim, then by Left-clicking to shoot/use.

It's one-handed, meaning it can be dual-wielded, essentially doubling the DPS.
