The Money Gun is a Legendary Rifle obtained through forging after being developed.
Unlocking
In order to unlock this weapon, the player must first find its Blueprint and then use the Design Table to develop it. Once done, it can be forged.
- Developing this weapon requires its Blueprint and 8888 Gems.
Usage
This weapon consumes gold instead of energy to use. Each time the fire button is tapped, it fires one of the following 3 modes:
- Mode 1: Fires a burst of 4 copper coins in a line. Each coin deals 2 damage. The final coin of the chain explode. Costs 1 gold. Common to appear.
- Mode 2: Fires 8 silver coins that deal 3 damage each in a cone pattern. Costs 2 gold. Common to appear.
- Mode 3: Fires a big gold coin that explodes, deals 36 damage, and can inflict Burn. Costs 3 gold. Rare to appear.
A while after firing, the user will shake the gun and may randomly switch the mode, indicated by the cost.
Notes
- The Money Gun will reset to mode 1 every time the player moves to the next level and will not reset when it is dropped and picked back up.
- If the player fires and then quickly switch the weapon, it will stay at that mode.
- Highly advantageous in Badass Mode - Due to the larger gold drop of enemies and the higher concentration of Champions.
- If it is used as an off-hand weapon with Taoist's Passive Buff, by followers, clones from Staff of Illusion or from Assassin's Doppelganger skill, they will spend the player's gold, and each has its own firing mode change.

Trivia
- In Chinese, it's named "撒币枪", literally meaning "Gun that throws coins."
- Because of the name, it's understandable that it has an absurd developmental price.
- In Chinese popular culture, it's not a smart thing to throw money all over the place. "撒币" also sounds similar to "stupid," referring to the gun's actual function - which is to throw money.
- Its starter weapons design competition entry was a "Supreme Gun" with the same function, which is also a real toy gun.
- It is similar to Terraria's Coin Gun, which is used the same way, expensive to make, and rare to find; however, Money Gun's fire rate is slightly lower than Coin Gun's.
- Before Update 2.2.0, if followers (mercenaries or clones from Staff of Illusion) used this weapon, it would consume the player's gold, and could only fire at Mode 1. This might cause the player to have a negative value of gold, and lose gems accordingly.
- This happens again in Update 2.7.0 and patched in Update 2.7.3 if the weapon is used automatically with Taoist's Passive Buff.
- In Update 3.2.0, there was a bug where this weapon was named "It shoots out cash."
- This was fixed in Update 3.2.3.
