The Megashark is a rapid-fire ranged weapon in Terraria that serves as the upgraded version of the Minishark. While it might not be as powerful as the Chain Gun, the Megashark is more than capable of holding its own when dealing damage to minor enemy mobs and bosses. The Minishark firearm can be purchased from the Arms Dealer, an NPC that only appears once you are holding a bullet-firing gun in your inventory and an empty house is available. For reference, bullet-firing guns include weapons like the Boomstick or Boomstick, which can be obtained relatively early on in one’s playthrough.
