What did you think? Have any ideas for more bullets?

Molten Bullets shouldn't take 1 bar of hellstone. At most 3-5 hellstone ore. And the On Fire debuff is a bit too overpowered. Maybe for 3 seconds?

Well, I realise now that there is only 2 types of bullets you can get pre-hardmode (Correct me if I'm wrong).
Click to expand...

- Musket Ball
- Silver Bullet
- Meteor Shot (never underestimate this thing, it's damn powerful with a musket)

And for arrows:

- Wooden
- Fire
- Frostburn
- Unholy
- Jester
- Hellfire

But here's the thing, all of the bows in Pre-HM are pretty much the same. Molten fury is slightly unique because it sets wooden arrows on fire. But with bullet weapons, you're kind of introduced to the batch through-out Pre-HM. Where, before Hardmode, a lot of the bow's personality depends on its ammunition, the bullet weapons are different in themselves. Musket is a marksman rifle, the only of its kind until the Sniper Rifle. Minishark is the only automatic RoF beast before HardMode. Boomstick is the same story. And then we have the classic semi-auto pistols, namely the Phoenix Blaster, of which the trend dies along with the weapon once you get something better.

Point being, bullet weapons are still fun because there is still variety in their behaviour. I mean I guess I don't mind more ammunition.

However, small problem. The 'molten bullet' concept already exists; Sz has a thread for it. The Crimson bullet also seems exactly like his idea. Why I am sceptical is because bleeding doesn't do anything to mobs, so why did you add it as an effect without clarifying what it would actually do?

no, i mean remove the soul of night, and make it's stats a bit weaker, that kind of 'make'

I made an unholy arrow counter part. Check the "arrows" section. :)

I had never seen a thread by Sz. And I will come up with another debuff for the crimson bullet :p

Okay, I'm having trouble coming up with a debuff for crimson that affects enemies. Any suggestions?

It could be like a prehardmode Vampire Knives? But you know... weaker.

Also, the rainbow arrow would probably not be to well, because if you are using a repeater with them then rainbow trails will lag the game.
 
I hear you there. I never thought that they could lag the game, and the crimson bullet? Maybe it could steal life. I'll think about it.

I did it differently, but as long as we get some, I'll be happy, I guess.

Why not just make Musket Balls craftable with Iron or Lead Bars?

I don't see why not, but eh. Doesn't seem necessary next to Cursed, Ichor, and Crystal Bullets.

I'd have liked it to have an ability other than piercing, like Zoomo's suggestion in the Cyber, which leaves a lingering damage particle instead of penetration. It also uses a better alternate to Corruption's Worm Teeth, the Spider Mandible, which is better, imo, than using Vertebrae.

Why not, but it should be crafted with Gold Dust and inflict Midas like Golden Bullets do.

This would be rather OP. The Rainbow Gun, the only item that has this ability, is an extra-rare post-Plantera item, whereas this is available in early Hardmode.

Just sounds like a buffed Hellfire Arrow, which would be kind of redundant.

Overall; not bad, but could be better.
