Notes

  • High Velocity Bullets update their position 8 times a tick[1] instead of just once, which means their effective velocity is [math]\displaystyle{ (4 + \text{weapon velocity}) * 8 }[/math].
  • High Velocity Bullets apply 2 ticks of local immunity frames upon hit.[2]
  • High Velocity Bullets can only exist for up to 1.25 seconds.[2]
  • The bullets glow bright yellow.
  • The Uzi, Venus Magnum, and Sniper Rifle convert Musket Balls and Tungsten Bullets(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) into High Velocity Bullets, granting them high speed and pierce, but unchanged damage.

Tips

  • High Velocity Bullets are very powerful in PvP; as the bullets hit almost instantly, players having high-tier movement items matter less.

Trivia

  • If fired at close range, the bullets may seem invisible due to their high velocity.

History

  • Desktop 1.4.2: Fixed an issue where High Velocity Bullets could sometimes hit particularly large targets twice (does not apply to multi-segment enemies like worm enemies, this should still allow multiple hits).
  • Desktop 1.4.1:
    • Damage increased from 10 to 11.
    • Can now pierce twice, hitting up to 3 enemies.
