Copper Bullet

Overview

A plain copper ball. No promises it will fly true, but it is decent enough.

Copper Bullets are the mid-tier Tier 2 firearm projectile in Windrose, sitting between baseline Stone Bullets and precision-focused Iron Bullets. They carry no damage modifier, but their Mediocre ballistics are a marked upgrade over the Poor ballistics of Stone Bullets, so accuracy at medium range is where Copper earns its place. Most players craft a stack as soon as their first Copper Ingot comes out of the Workbench and then transition straight to Iron once the Foothills biome opens.

Item Info

Crafting

Copper Bullets are crafted at the Workbench unlocked at level 1. A single Copper Ingot produces 5 Copper Bullets, so a normal stack of 40 costs 8 Copper Ingots.

Sources

Besides crafting, Copper Bullets drop from several early-game enemies and chests. Mob drops are small but guaranteed at 100%, while chest drops are larger but at a 1% roll per chest.

When to Use

Copper Bullets are the default firearm load during the Copper smelting phase, which typically overlaps with mid-tier dungeon runs before the Foothills biome unlocks. They perform identically to Stone Bullets on base damage but land shots at a wider accuracy band, which matters when engaging mobile targets such as Musketeers and Grenadiers at distance. Against heavily armored pirate captains the lack of a damage bonus becomes a liability, so reserve Copper for trash clears and switch to Iron Bullets once Foothills iron access is stable.
