Excelsior/Scattershot

The Scattershot is an accessory that has a chance to be sold by the Traveling Merchant. It is obtainable Pre-Hardmode. When firing a gun, the Scattershot will split the bullet into three, each dealing 1/2 the original damage. If all three bullets hit the same target, the damage averages around 50% higher than the base damage. Due to defense, this effect may not be desirable as the damage is decreased even further.

Trivia

 * The Scattershot is a reference to an item with the same name in Enter the Gungeon
 * Their design and function are nearly identical
