Venom Bullets in action.

The Venom Bullet is a Hardmode, post-Plantera type of bullet and is one of six types of craftable ammunition made from Empty Bullets, which are sold by the Arms Dealer after Hardmode has been enabled. Venom Bullets inflict the Acid Venom debuff onto enemies for a duration of 10 seconds, and currently have the second highest base damage of all Bullets in the game, tied with Nano Bullets and surpassed only by Luminite Bullets(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions), and inflict the Acid Venom debuff upon the target.

The cost of a stack of 50 Venom Bullets is 17 SC50 CC, which is 35 CC per bullet. The cost of crafting 1000 Venom Bullets (20 stacks of 50) is 3 GC50 SC.

Tips

While Venom Bullets have the highest base damage of any pre-Moon Lord(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) bullet, they are largely outclassed in most situations. Crystal Bullets have a higher effective damage output, Chlorophyte Bullets are more accurate against fast-moving enemies (such as the Moon Lord itself), High Velocity Bullets can pierce enemies and are more accurate and effective against other players in PvP, and Nano Bullets have the same stats but can also smart bounce to nearby enemies.
