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 are available:
 * With base prices, a silver bar would sell for, while 70 musket balls cost . Buying 70 silver bullets directly would cost.
 * At base prices, 15 silver bars would sell for, and buying 999 musket balls would cost , while buying 999 silver bullets directly would cost . This would save  , covering a full recipe's worth.
 * With maximum (75% modifier to purchase prices, 133% to sale prices), 15 silver bars would sell for, and buying 999 musket balls would cost , while buying the silver bullets directly would cost .  This would save.
 * 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, the player is spending less than extra on a 999-stack of ammo, let alone if they would be upgrading musket balls collected from pots and the like.

Trivia

 * Similar to their folklore, Silver Bullets deal extra damage to Werewolves, being roughly 4 times more damage dealt.
