Does the spacegun work as a gun for the arms dealer to appear?

No. You need a bullet-firing gun to get him to show up.

Question

How long do I need to wait for him?

Epicgamer2248 :D

Community Answer

It depends. You must make a house for him, have a gun in your inventory, and it must be a day for him to spawn. You also must have the house off-screen by running away a couple of meters.

First, make sure you have a suitable house. Then, be patient and wait. It might be that he's taking a while to spawn.

How long do I wait for the arms dealer?

Devin Rosenbusch

Community Answer

He only comes in the morning (like all NPCs), and you must have the merchant. He'll normally come the first morning.

The Undertaker is oftentimes the most common gun, and the musket balls are generally the most common ammo for those with an endless musket pouch.

Question

Can I get him if I have no ammo box?

Community Answer

No. You just need a musket or undertaker at the minimum, or just any gun that fires bullets. They do need to fire bullets though. Space gun, blowgun, slime & water guns, bee gun, & rainbow gun do not allow for spawning of the dealer.

The process is the same for all platforms. You get the arms dealer by getting a gun and having a room he could live in.

Question

How do I get the arms dealer in pre-hard mode Terraria?

Community Answer

Obtain a gun of any type (e.g. Undertaker or the musket obtained by breaking your first shadow orb/crimson heart) and have an open house. Then you just wait for him to move in.

Question

None of these worked, what do I do now?

QAZ101_1

Community Answer

Make sure you have a suitable house he can spawn in, otherwise he won't show up. If that doesn't work then there is probably a bug in your game.

You don't need an ammo box, but they can be extremely helpful as they reduce the amount of ammo used.

Question

Where does the shadow orb and crimson heart spawn in Terraria?

Community Answer

It spawns in the ground in their respective biomes, but if you have early-game gear, and you decide to go and break them, I recommend bringing sticky bombs or sticky dynamite.

Question

Why doesn't the arms dealer appear when I have a water gun in Terraria?

Community Answer

He doesn't spawn because the water gun doesn't shoot actual bullets. To spawn him you need actual bullets.

Just craft it with any type of material (i.e. platinum, lead, tin, etc.) and wood. (Unless you're crafting a wood sword, in which case you need only wood).

Question

Can slime gun attract arms dealer?

Brandon Lu

Community Answer

No. You will need a bullet-firing gun. Note: It is easy to get a gun to fufill the requirement by smashing Crimson Hearts or Shadow Orbs. However, only smash two to be sure you don't accidentally summon a boss.
