12 Best Weapons on Terraria Calamity Mod – List

Are you looking for the best weapons on the terraria calamity mod? Here are the 13 best calamity mod weapons that you can use from the beginning to the end.

Also, I will include each weapon’s damage per second as a range when hitting a single target dummy to get a little idea about its damage.

For some calamity weapons, it is not fair because I tested this using a single target dummy.
There is no problem if you are playing calamity mod choosing a specific class because I included weapons for all the classes in calamity mod.
