[@photonic083]

The +2 damage from silver bullets can be a significant increase depending on the weapon. The minishark for example, changing to silver bullets is a 15% damage increase. Potentially even more depending on the enemy's defense The high kb of exploding bullets can be very valuable in early hardmode, especially with the shotgun, onyx blaster or clockwork assault rifle. It's really bad to use at close range because of self damage though. However, exploding bullets still have 1 last trick. They can abuse the star cloak. Spikes and lava no longer activate the effect, but exploding bullets do. The player gets 6 s from them. Guess which weapon has a use time of 6? The minishark. Not reforging the minishark is optimal because of s. If you equip the star cloak, and damage yourself by firing the minishark, you'll practically become a weapon. Ahh, and there goes another way to cheese the destroyer

Explosive bullets are amazing right at the start of hard mode. The extra knock back can save you from tanky enemies like mimics or possessed armor. Also great against bats.

[@bbq_god]

this is a great guide. it provides a great introduction to different bullets, as well as their primary uses and effects. you give a good way for each of the bullets to be used and their power level, while leaving some of it opinion-based and let the viewer decide where they should be prioritized. I hope to see more of these in the future!

Holy shit what a coincidence, trying to decide which bullet should i go between chlorophyte (auto aim) or nano bullet (more damage) Thanks so much zuzu🌽

[@qwazi_7347]

Don't forget that meteor shot has a bug where when used in any type of shotgun, only one bullet hits for single targets, you will likely notice this with the boomstick in pre hard mode, but it applies to all shotguns. I find that for pre-hardmode the boom stick with silver bullets is on par with the mini shark. High velocity bullets also have a small amount of penetration, which goes a long way for crowd control in events like the pirates, or any mob farms you might make for souls, keys or cash

[@christianrojas7353]

High velocity do have piercing from what I saw, it’s worth mentioning. And nano bullets actually bounce into enemies after hitting a surface. Kinda like a “smart bounce” or something like that.

[@burpyoshi9503]

It's worth mentioning that while the meteorite bullets are the most powerful pre-hardmode they also cause invincibility frames, which isn't a problem for most guns but shotgun type guns, particularly the boomstick at that stage will only inflict the damage of one of the bullets in the spread due to these frames so don't use them with shotguns.

I love pairing explosive bullets with accessories that spawn things that hurt enemys, like the one that spawns stars when you get hurt They only do 4 to 10 damage to you and knock you around but you can shred anything above you if you are grappled to something Also they have actual knock back, and well, explode, so they are good at condensing a crowd and hurting all of them at once

crystal bullets creating 3 shards instead of 2 on mobile and console makes an even bigger difference than you might think. I was getting over 1k dps with the onyx blaster on the twins without even using specialised ranger equipment.

Zuzu's voice is soooo relaxing to listen to! BTW high velocity bullets can HIT 3 ENEMIES BEFORE DISSAPATING which makes them pretty decent for crowd control.

Chlorophyte bullets are also excellent with shotgun weapons since they’ll usually converge on a single target and can deal massive damage with a single shot.

13:51 you can also put them at the bottom of your ammo slots so its only used when all other bullets are gone, kinda like emergency ammo

[@potato1341]

One thing I'll say about the silver bullet is they are monstrous with the mini shark. On account most early game guns are fairly hard hitting (20+ damage with minor upgrades/armour) with a slow rate of fire, they're very inconsequential with most guns. But the minishark being the fast firing option (with a use time iirc in the 6-7 range), the bullet dealing upto 3-4 more damage (again, with the use of damage upgrades) will yield a decent boost to DPS, high-crit loadouts (you can see a pretty fair 33% pre-hardmode with the minishark without too many lucky accessories and the agile modifier (personal favourite)), you could very easily see a +30-80DPS (I'd put that around the 50 mark with the afformentioned crit chance of 33%) boost to DPS. Add in the stinger and shark tooth necklaces and you have a very very high DPS loadout that's only a fraction as effective with musket balls.

[@BedoKGun]

6:48, right after you said that i realized i have 609 cursed flames.. I did a bit of grinding for a corrupted chest..

[@ferretzim8694]

The endless ammo pouch is a great fallback plan. Stack the bullet types you want, then have the ammo pouch last, so that even if you run out of your preferred bullet type, you haven't gone empty. It's also useful if you decide to take down Dungeon Guardian with bullets, since it doesn't matter how high your damage is, you'll only be doing 1-2 damage. So might as well go for quantity over quality

My go to combo for most of hardmode is Uzi + endless musket pouch + frost armour. Free infinite ammo that is easy to aim, has good damage, pierces and deals damage over time. You could take on the post plantera solar eclipse with ease with it and probably use it up to the celestial pillars (of course other options are available but I imagine it's viable for the event). Also frost armour frost burn effect is buffed from regular frost burn, it does 25DPS iirc and the Uzi can hit 3 targets in a single shot, you basically get a shitton of free damage!

Clorophyte bullets aren't that hard to get a ton of I always thought, just do like 10 minutes of mining and you already have a ton, and although they haven't got the best base damage, the homing affects mean you can play far safer by just running away and eventually the boss will die if you're shooting in their general direction. Also Ichor bullets are ichor so you can just shoot once to apply it and then swap to something else for bosses if you're fast in the menus which is just a bit more damage.

Meanwhile I just use target lock on and endless musket pouch

[@moronribbons5774]

Something I noticed while playing (on tmodloader, so it's possible this is caused by just 1.3, or some change calamity adds) is that meteor shots do cause an immunity problem when fired too close together. Bursts of bullets or rapid enough fire can cause several to not hit the target, and overall make you do less damage with some guns (onyx blaster for example) than regular musket balls would. I assume it's a result of the peircing effect handling weirdly. If it doesn't apply like this in 1.4, then now you know for next time you play modded...

[@june9914]

This has always been a thing even in vanilla, which is why I consider meteor shots a downgrade unless you’re exploring, where bouncing and piercing shots work nice in picking off stragglers and unseen enemies in places where the geometry isn’t smooth

Don't sleep on party bullets, they have 10 damage which isn't fantastic but can out dps crystal bullets(9dmg) in situations where the enemy isn't moving toward the player(due to the way the crystal shards work) its also easy to craft (if you have a party girl) and is incredibly cheap costing 9 copper per bullet(for comparison silver bullet(9dmg) cost 15 copper and musket ball(7dmg) costing 7 copper) it also has the 5th highest velocity and the second highest knockback. The cherry on top is you can get them pre-hardmode from Pigronata's sold by the party girl making them the best bullet in pre-hardmode(but at a high cost). They are a solid budget general use bullet in early hardmode. They do spray confetti everywhere so maybe you consider that a downside.
