Notes

Chlorophyte Bullets in action. Note how they swerve around to hit targets.
  • Chlorophyte Bullets will not home in on other players during PvP, on Target Dummies as they are not technically enemies, and on Martian Probes.
  • Chlorophyte Bullets will home in on Mimics and Nymphs/Lost Girls even before they become hostile.
  • Reflected Chlorophyte Bullets from enemies like the Selenian(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) will target the player.
  • On certain platforms, Chlorophyte Bullets may heavily impact the game's performance due to their trail effect.

Tips

  • Chlorophyte Bullets will attempt to home in on enemies on the other side of solid blocks, wasting bullets.
    • A good tactic would be to shoot the bullets over enemies behind cover; that way the round will swerve around to hit.
  • Chlorophyte Bullets pair well with guns which have a wide spread, e.g. the Tactical Shotgun, Chain Gun, Gatligator, or Vortex Beater. The bullets' homing effect negates the spread.
  • Chlorophyte Bullets are less effective against the Lunatic Cultist as he takes 25% less damage from homing projectiles.

Trivia

  • It is possible for Chlorophyte Bullets to slow down greatly, nearly to the point of stopping. This can occur when fighting weak enemies (such as slimes) and using a fast-firing gun (such as the Chain Gun) if the targeted enemy is killed by a shot with other shots on screen, and those shots having no targets.

History
