High Velocity Bullets are a type of ammunition obtainable after at least one mechanical boss has been defeated. They are the fastest traveling bullets in the game, traveling at the same speed as bullets fired from the Sniper Rifle. They are one of six types of craftable bullets made from Empty Bullets, which are sold by the Arms Dealer after Hardmode has been enabled.
On the , they will pierce up to two enemies, coming to a stop when hitting the third. However, the second target will only take 85% of the base damage, and the third target will only take 85% of that (i.e. 72.25% of base).

== 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.

== Trivia ==
* If fired at close range, the bullets may seem invisible due to their very large sprite.
