(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) High Velocity Bullets in action.

The High Velocity Bullet is a type of bullet obtainable after at least one mechanical boss has been defeated. It is the fastest-traveling bullet in the game, traveling at the same speed as bullets fired from the Sniper Rifle.

On the Desktop version Desktop version, Console version Console version, and Mobile version 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 9 SC50 CC, which is 19 CC per bullet. The cost of crafting 1000 High Velocity Bullets (20 stacks of 50) is 1 GC90 SC.

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 [math]\displaystyle{ (4 + \text{weapon velocity}) * 8 }[/math].
  • 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 Desktop version, Console version Console version, and Mobile version 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 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, 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.
