Silver Bullet

Silver Bullets are a type of bullets used by guns. They deal 2 more damage and are slightly faster than Musket Balls, but otherwise have no special properties.

During Hardmode Silver Bullets can be bought from the Arms Dealer for each, or  for 1000 rounds in worlds with Silver. Prior to Hardmode, they are only sold during Blood Moons, but become available anytime once Hardmode begins. They can also be found replacing Wooden Arrows in Pots during Hardmode, in Shadow Chests, or crafted using Silver Bars. It is the counterpart to Tungsten Bullets.

Tips

 * Crafting Silver Bullets from Musket Balls purchased from the Arms Dealer is slightly more expensive than buying Silver Bullets... if they're available.
 * The money gained from selling the silver bar plus the money saved from not buying musket balls is, enough to buy you 72 silver bullets.  For a full stack of 999, buying bullets saves you  , nearly a whole silver bar's worth.
 * When factoring in NPC happiness, Silver bars can be sold for more while bullets can be bought for less, increasing the extra bullets per silver from trading by relatively large amounts.
 * That said, before Hardmode buying the silver bullets involves shopping during a Blood Moon, and the Arms Dealer may not be nearby. Even at his maximum happiness, you're only spending around 60 extra silver on a 999-stack that would cost you over a gold coin anyway.

Trivia

 * Despite their folklore, Silver Bullets do not deal extra damage to Werewolves.
