Blow Dart, Fire Dart, and Sleep Dart are present in the base game; Poison Dart is available in the Shipwrecked DLC; and Electric Dart is exclusive to Don't Starve Together. Each dart has only one use.

1 shot will turn neutral Mobs, such as Koalefants, hostile. 2 shots destroy a Beehive. 1-5 shots can kill normal Mobs (e.g. Guardian Pigs, MacTusk, Merms).

Bugs

- Sometimes, especially when attacking stationary targets, the dart will not disappear after being shot but instead hover erratically near the target.
