About this mod Author’s original text

Legendary Shuriken introduces four powerful — and expensive — shuriken, designed with mid-game and end-game play in mind. These reliable weapons are crafted to stay effective even as your enemies grow stronger.

Features

  • Four Unique Shuriken

Each shuriken is priced higher than the last, with better durability efficiency the more expensive they are. The better ones have increased base rarity, did you find one and have enough money to buy it? Lucky find!

  • Automatic Battery Recharge

The battery is recharged at the beginning of each level, there is a reason they are so expensive!

  • Area attacks

It is possible for the shuriken to hit multiple enemies at once if they are close enough to each other, useful for gnomes and any other situation where many enemies are close to each other.

  • Autonomous Combat Behavior

Once released from your hand, a shuriken will detect nearby enemies, launch itself at them, and relentlessly pursue until the enemy is defeated, the battery depletes, or it strays too far.

While holding a shuriken outside your inventory, you'll notice it trying to escape your grasp when an enemy is within range, eager to attack it.

  • Balanced, Consistent Shop Spawning

Legendary Shuriken use a custom spawn system that bypasses vanilla shop probabilities. No matter how many mods you have installed, each shuriken maintains its unique spawn chance — rarer and more expensive shuriken spawn less frequently (configurable). They will only appear if carts spawn at the shop, further balancing their availability.

  • Player-Safe Design

Thanks to a sacred blessing from their mysterious creator, these shuriken will never harm you or your friends.

  • Disclaimer
  • The legendary blacksmith is not responsible for valuables broken during a shuriken's rampage. Use them wisely — you are fully responsible once you take them out of your inventory.
  • The legendary shuriken are quite balanced compared to vanilla. One shot of the shotgun deals 5x50=250 damage, while the shuriken only deals 50 damage per hit and all of them are more expensive than the shotgun, with the added possibility of the shuriken breaking nearby valuables and the added possibility of the shuriken getting stuck or even taking a while to actually hit the enemy.
  • The mod is made only for host game, not for singleplayer. You can still host the game and play by yourself.

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin

  1. The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
  2. Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
  3. Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
  4. Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.

Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file.

Dependencies

Install these first, or the mod will not work:
