Tips

 * Exploding Bullets are reasonably powerful Bullets with a small area of effect and strong Knockback, making them good for engaging large groups of enemies.
 * Due to the area-of-effect of Exploding Bullets, they are especially effective against segmented enemies, such as worms.
 * Like most explosives, when the bullet explodes on a surface, particles will fall, lighting up the ground beneath it, useful for locating ores and caves.
 * Exploding Bullets can be extremely useful in early Hardmode, as they are easy to obtain and possess exceptional knockback.
 * The Tactical Shotgun works incredibly well with these, effectively clearing out large, compact groups very quickly.
 * Because of Explosive Bullets inflict PvP deaths, you can effectively end your life just to respawn at full HP. You will save coins, but lose buffs.
