Hyperius Bullet

Hyperius Bullets are craftable Hardmode bullets. When they hit an enemy, they split into 3 bullets that swirl outwards from the point of impact before dissipating. The split bullets pierce once and deal 10% of the bullet's damage along with an extra 16 flat damage. Enemy hits with the split bullets make them travel forwards while tile hits make them travel backwards. The bullets and spilt bullets are randomly given solid colors on spawn. The main bullets emit a spiral light effect but will lose the effect after travelling a certain distance.

Trivia

• The name of this bullet is most likely a reference to the boss enemy in Borderlands 2, named Hyperius the Invincible. The effect of the bullet is also a reference to the Conference Call weapon, found in Borderlands 2. Both Hyperius and the Conference Call are affiliated with the manufacturer Hyperion.
