"A toxic downpour falls over the wasteland seas!"

The Acid Rain is a weather event added by the Calamity Mod. It has a 1/360,000 chance of occuring every tick once the Eye of Cthulhu has been defeated, or can be summoned through the use of a Caustic Tear. While the Event is active, Sulphuric Rain droplets will rain from the sky and inflict Irradiated onto the player.

The Event has multiple levels of difficulty that are encountered at different stages in progression similar to the Old One's Army, with each tier unlocking after the player has defeated a specific boss. The first tier of the event will be unlocked after the Eye of Cthulhu has been defeated, the next tier will unlock after the Aquatic Scourge has been defeated and the final tier will unlock after the Polterghast has been defeated.

To complete the event, the player must use a Caustic Tear or kill 180 enemies. In Multiplayer, the players must kill the amount of enemies calculated by the equation (floor(180 * ln(total players + E - 1))) based on how many players are in the world at the start of the event.

Trivia

 * The Acid Rains theme is Acidic Downpour, which was composed by wiki editor RoverdriveZ.
 * It is the first event ever added to the Calamity Mod.
 * Some of the events enemies are based on extinct aquatic lifeforms, such as the Orthocera and Trilobite.
 * The event used to be a variation of the Rain event in the Sulphurous Sea, similar to Blizzards in the Snow Biome.

Tips

 * This event is very dangerous for early game players due to the high spawnrates of enemies.
