  • Legendary Version:
    • Forced Affix: Poison Cloud on Hit

Notes[]

  • The Blowgun works just like the Assassin's Dagger, as both deal critical damage by hitting an enemy in the back.
  • Enemies like Protectors, or bosses like the Giant, can not take critical damage from the Blowgun because they do not have a visible backside.
  • The Blowgun has the highest critical hit multiplier in the game alongside the Marksman's Bow with a multiplier of ~6x damage.
  • Affixes such as "+40% damage on burning targets" apply to this projectile damage as well as the inflicted poison status.
  • The affix "+80% damage to poisoned targets" can be applied to The Blowgun
