Silver Bullets are a type of bullets used by guns. They deal 2 more damage and are slightly faster than Musket Balls, but otherwise have no special properties.

Silver Bullets can be bought from the Arms Dealer for 15 each, or 1 50 for 1000 rounds. Prior to Hardmode, they are only sold during Blood Moons, but become available anytime once Hardmode begins. They can also be found replacing Wooden Arrows in Pots during Hardmode, or crafted using Silver Bars.

Notes

• Whereas most metal items can be crafted using their ore equivalent, Silver Bullets cannot be made using Tungsten Bars. Silver can still be obtained in any world by using Silt Blocks, Slush Blocks, and Desert Fossils at an Extractinator. It can also be rewarded from Crates and Slime bonus drops.

• Crafting Silver Bullets from Musket Balls purchased from the Arms Dealer is not economical, assuming Silver Bullets are available to buy. The sell price of the required Silver Bars is greater than the difference in price of the bullets, whether the silver is in ore or bar form; 33 or 5 extra per stack of 999, respectively.

Trivia

• Despite their folklore, Silver Bullets do not deal extra damage to Werewolves.
