Characteristic

Random Movement

Sandstorm is a passive mob added when the desert scenario was added. It is found in the Desert area.

Appearance[]

It has the appearance of 3 hexagons, the biggest one is on the outside and is bright yellow. It spins clockwise. The second one is more dark and spins counter clockwise. The third, which is in the middle, spins clockwise and is the darkest.

Stats & Behavior[]

Speed: Faster than the player, but in unpredictable directions.

Behavior: Moves randomly and 100% unpredictable. Beware of its high body damage though, if you aren't careful, the Sandstorm might run into you and kill you. Take it out from a distance if possible and be careful when getting close to it. Super Sandstorms pull in nearby mobs and players, so attack with ranged weapons. It phases through mobs.

Strategy[]

Don't get too close to the Sandstorm, as it might end up moving straight at you without you even realizing it, And it's lethal damage will most likely kill you. Third Eye and Wing can kill the Sandstorm from a distance.
Long ranged petals like Missile and Uranium are best because you don't have to get up close. Using ram builds is not advisable against sandstorms due to high body damage and health. If there are any other mobs besides the sandstorm around you, kill those first before dealing with the sandstorm.
Super Sandstorm's special ability (pulling nearby entities except for petals inwards) can be very hard to deal with, since if you are close to the Sandstorm, it will be nearly a guaranteed death.
- Using Soil helps as it makes you "heavier" (slower) so that you are harder to pull. Keep moving away and it won't be able to reach you.
- Air also applies to this strategy, however, be careful with other players pushing you to the Sandstorm as they may use higher rarity of the Air.
- Another way is to keep some Bubbles in your secondary slots, so when the Sandstorm enables the ability, you can escape its pull with Bubbles.
- Cutters do not work against this anymore, apparently.

Trivia[]

Sandstorms are the only non-stationary mobs that aren't affected by Uranium besides Bubble.
Sandstorm's description is a reference to the music title "Sandstorm", made by Darude.
Before the map texture update, sandstorms used to have a more yellow color.
