Notes

  • 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.
  • High Velocity Bullets update their position 8 times a second instead of just once, which means their effective velocity is [math]\displaystyle{ (4 + \text{weapon velocity}) * 8 }[/math].
  • When fired, the bullets glow bright yellow.
  • The Uzi, Venus Magnum, and Sniper Rifle convert Musket Balls and Tungsten Bullets(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) (as well as Silver Bullets on Old-gen console version Old-gen console and 3DSNintendo 3DS version) into High Velocity Bullets, granting them a much higher velocity and (Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) the ability to pierce targets. The bullets' original damage is retained, however.

Tips

  • 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 seem invisible due to their high velocity.

History

  • Desktop 1.4.2: Fixed an issue where High Velocity Bullets could sometimes hit particularly large targets twice (does not apply to multi-segment enemies, this should still allow multiple hits).
  • Desktop 1.4.1:
    • Damage increased from 10 to 11.
    • Can now pierce twice, hitting up to 3 enemies.
