The Slingshot is a weapon that can be obtained from the chest on level 40 of The Mines. Despite its description, many items other than Stone can be used as Slingshot ammunition.

Unlike most weapons, using the slingshot on a villager will decrease your friendship with them by 30 points. Using the slingshot on your pet will produce a "hate" dialogue bubble, but will not decrease friendship.

Ammunition

To equip a slingshot with ammunition, select the ammunition, then Right-Click on the slingshot.

The type of ammunition used determines the damage dealt, according to the following formulas:

Slingshot:
Damage = AmmoMultiplier + random number between [-(AmmoMultiplier / 2), AmmoMultiplier + 1]
Master Slingshot:
Damage = 2 * (AmmoMultiplier + random number between [-(AmmoMultiplier / 2), AmmoMultiplier + 1])

With the worst ammo (i.e., Fruits, Vegetables, or Eggs), a Slingshot can deal 1-3 and a Master Slingshot can deal 2-6 damage. With the best ammo, Iridium Ore and a Slingshot can deal 25-101 damage while a Master Slingshot can deal 50-202 damage.

The following items can be used as ammunition:

Item AmmoMultiplier Slingshot Damage Master Slingshot Damage
All Fruits • All Vegetables • All Eggs 1 1-3 2-6
Coal 15 8-31 16-62
Copper Ore 10 5-21 10-42
Explosive Ammo 20 10-41 20-82
Gold Ore 30 15-61 30-122
Iridium Ore 50 25-101 50-202
Iron Ore 20 10-41 20-82
Stone 5 3-11 6-22
Wood 2 1-5 2-10

Notes

  • The clipping glitch that allows you to enter the normally unreachable space around a map area does not work with slingshots.
  • The only way to get rid of an unwanted slingshot is to place it in a chest in a villager's path, so the villager will destroy it when walking through it.
