Since the rockets do not hurt the user, the Vortex Beater is an ideal gun for close quarters – it has a high DPS (about 1.5k single target DPS with standard bullets and no damage enhancing armor or accesories), and the explosions knock enemies back.


Using Chlorophyte Bullets, which home in on enemies, helps counter the low accuracy.A better ranged weapon for single target damage would be the Phantasm. Due to the inaccuracy of the bullets, the Vortex Beater is somewhat better suited against larger enemies and bosses (which may be immune to the knockback effect of the rockets, however).It cannot use any form of rocket or explosive as ammunition, and will therefore not benefit from the Shroomite Helmet. While it launches both bullets and rockets, it consumes only bullets as ammunition.The bullets' fire rate instead corresponds to a use time of 5 (Insanely fast). The Vortex Beater is unique in that its stated use time does not correspond to its actual fire rate, due to the intricate mechanics of firing the secondary projectile.
