Effects

  • Whenever the player fires a gun, occasionally fires a special high-damage bullet, similar to the critical shot fired by the [Vorpal GunVorpal Gun] .
  • Gives beam style Guns a small chance every second while firing to gain double damage for one second, creating random seconds of double damage.

Notes

  • When playing [WinchesterWinchester] 's game, if this item activates, it will not bounce, effectively wasting a shot. It is recommended to drop it before the game to avoid mishaps.
  • This item can be activated by [BlasphemyBlasphemy] 's sword beam.
  • Unlike [Vorpal GunVorpal Gun] , critical chance does not increase with coolness .
  • The chance for a bullet to critical doesn't stack with itself, so having multiple Vorpal Bullets will not increase the critical chance.
  • This Bullet upgrade, unlike most, actually works with beam guns, but instead of a random chance upon trigger pull, it's a random chance upon holding down the beam.
  • Bullets shot from companions can be affected by Vorpal Bullets.
  • Bullets shot from the [Heart of IceHeart of Ice] after taking damage can be affected by Vorpal Bullets

Trivia

  • The word 'Vorpal' is a nonsense word coined by Lewis Carrol in his nonsense poem Jabberwocky . The term is used to describe a blade which is supposedly very sharp. The synergy " Snicker-Snack " Is a quote from the actual Jabberwocky poem: "One, two! And through and through The vorpal blade went snicker-snack! He left it dead, and with its head he went Galumphing back."
