Trivia
A single Empty Bullet is the cheapest purchasable item from NPCs.- On the Old-gen console version, Windows Phone version, and Nintendo version, the only items with a lower cost are Water Fountains, which are sold—or rather given away—by the Witch Doctor for free.
- Despite their name, empty bullets are actually cartridge casing. "Cartridge" being the correct term for a bullet, casing, powder, and primer.
- Each special bullet uses a component sold by a different vendor. Exploding - Demolitionist, Golden - Merchant, High Velocity - Steampunker, Nano - Cyborg, Party - Party Girl, and Venom - Witch Doctor.
