Projectile created

Rocket Fist demonstration.

The Rocket Fist is a craftable, non-consumable Hardmode throwing weapon that can autofire. It throws a fiery fist projectile that is not affected by gravity and creates a substantial explosion upon enemy or tile contact, dealing area-of-effect damage and inflicting the On Fire! debuff to all enemies caught in the blast.

Like most non-consumable throwing weapons, using this weapon builds up an exhaustion meter that appears below the player. Not using the weapon will make the meter slowly go back down. However, if it becomes completely filled, the user will be inflicted with the Exhaustion debuff, causing all non-consumable throwing weapons to deal massively decreased damage for some time. The meter resets after the debuff ends.
