High Velocity Bullets are a type of ammunition obtainable after at least one mechanical boss has been defeated. They are the fastest traveling bullets in the game, traveling at the same speed as bullets fired from the Sniper Rifle.

On the  Desktop version,  Console version, and  Mobile version, the High Velocity Bullet can pierce up to 2 targets, hitting a total of 3 targets. The damage of the High Velocity Bullet decreases by 15% for each target it pierces.

The cost of a stack of 50 High Velocity Bullets is 950, which is 19 per bullet. The cost of crafting 1000 High Velocity Bullets (20 stacks of 50) is 190.

Notes

• Velocity is the speed at which a projectile travels through space once fired from a weapon. Higher velocity makes hitting distant, fast moving targets easier for the player, as less movement tracking is required.
• High Velocity Bullets update their position 8 times a second instead of one, which means their effective velocity is $(4+{\text{weapon velocity}})*8$.
• When fired, the bullets glow bright yellow.
• The Uzi, Venus Magnum, and Sniper Rifle effectively turn Musket Balls into High Velocity Bullets by improving their velocity. This does not affect their other stats, however it does allow them to pierce on the  Desktop version,  Console version, and  Mobile version.

Tips

• High Velocity Bullets can be devastating in PvP situations, especially against players wearing high-tier wings, accessories, and armor that increase player speed, as properly timing and aiming shots is less important.

Trivia

• If fired at close range, the bullets may seem invisible due to their very large sprite.
