High Velocity Bullets are the fastest traveling bullets in the game. They travel at the same speed as bullets fired from the Sniper Rifle. They are one of 6 types of craftable ammunition made from Empty Bullets, which are sold by the Arms Dealer after Hardmode has been enabled.

The cost of a stack of 50 High Velocity Bullets is 950, which is 19 per bullet. The cost of crafting 1000 High Velocity Bullets (20 stacks of 50) is 190.

Notes

• High Velocity Bullets update their position 8 times a second instead of one, which means their effective velocity is (4 + weaponVelocity) * 8.
• High Velocity Bullets do not increase the player's attack speed.
• Velocity is the speed at which a projectile travels through space once fired from a weapon. Higher velocity makes hitting distant, fast moving targets easier for the player, as less movement tracking is required.
• When fired, the bullets glow bright yellow.
• When paired with a Megashark, these bullets are very effective against The Twins, since the high velocity counter-acts their high speed.
• The Uzi effectively turns Musket rounds into high velocity bullets, without the added damage.

• High Velocity Bullets can be devastating in PvP situations, especially against players wearing high-tier wings, accessories, and armor that increase player speed, as properly timing and aiming shots is less important.

Trivia

• If fired at close range, the bullets may turn invisible.
