Tungsten Bullets in action.

The Tungsten Bullet is a pre-Hardmode bullet. It deals 2 more damage and is slightly faster than Musket Balls.

Tungsten Bullets can be bought from the Arms Dealer for 18 CC each, or 1 GC80 SC for 1000 rounds in worlds with Tungsten. During pre-Hardmode, they are only sold during Blood Moons. Once Hardmode begins, they are always available. Tungsten Bullets can also be found replacing Wooden Arrows in Pots during Hardmode, in Shadow Chests, or crafted using Tungsten Bars.

Its alternate ore counterpart is the Silver Bullet.

Notes

  • Musket Balls and Tungsten Bullets can be used interchangeably with weapons that "convert Musket Balls" into a special projectile. This is due to their internal projectile IDs being identical.
  • In Drunk and Get fixed boi worlds, in which both Silver and Tungsten are present, the Arms Dealer will sell the bullet corresponding to whichever ore is most prevalent in the world upon joining. This is reset every time the world is re-opened.

Trivia

  • Tungsten Bullets were added so that it is possible to make an equivalent to Silver Bullets (Tungsten's counterpart ore) in a world with Tungsten Ore without utilizing an Extractinator or crates.
    • Tungsten Bullets have a knockback rating of 4, while Silver Bullets only have a knockback rating of 3. This is reflected by the fact that Silver Bullets are 16.67% cheaper to purchase.
    • Despite the fact that Silver Bullets are cheaper than Tungsten Bullets, both ammo types sell for the same amount due to rounding. Like with all other items, the Tungsten Bullet's buy price of 18 CC is divided by 5 to compute its sell value. Since 18/5 is 3.6, which is not a natural number, it is rounded down to 3. As a result, Tungsten Bullets only sell for 1/6 (16.67%) of their buy price.
