The Swarmer Cannon in use.

The Swarmer Cannon is a post-Moon Lord gun that is dropped by Patient Zero. When used, it fires a spread of 4-5 bullets, consuming only 1 bullet. Holding down the attack button will form a Swarm Growth inside of the weapon, launching it after releasing the button. Swarm Growths bounce off tiles, can pierce 11 times, and will aggressively home in on the nearest target, inflicting the Glowing Pustules debuff. Additionally, Swarmer Cannon converts normal bullets into Bile Bullets.

Its best modifier is Unreal.
