Repeaters

Repeaters are Hardmode ranged weapons that fire arrows as ammunition. They are generally considered upgrades to bows, with only very late-game bows like Tsunami, Eventide, or Phantasm outperforming them. All repeaters are capable of autofire, unlike most bows.

Due to its visual and functional similarities, the Stake Launcher is considered a repeater, despite firing Stakes.

The best modifier for any repeater is Unreal.

Types

There are currently 10 different repeaters available in Terraria, all of which are Hardmode-exclusive.
