Tips

  • Meteor Shots are available early, cheap to make, and good for dealing with large crowds of enemies, due to their ability to hit two enemies per shot. This makes them useful for surviving early events such as a Blood Moon or a Goblin Army.
  • Like all piercing projectiles, Meteor Shots are strong against worm-type enemies and large bosses.
  • Meteor Shots are useful for locating Floating Islands: a bullet fired upward will bounce off the bottom of one, back towards the ground.

Trivia

  • Meteor Shots are the slowest bullets in the game.
