11Overview33A well-made iron bullet with good ballistics. Where you fire, it flies.55Iron Bullets are the mid-to-late-game firearm projectile in Windrose and the first bullet that applies a meaningful damage bonus. Every craft converts one Foothills Iron Ingot into five bullets and grants a 10% boost to Ranged Damage, with Good ballistics that mark a clear accuracy upgrade over Copper Bullets. Once the Foothills biome opens and iron smelting becomes routine, Iron Bullets are the default firearm ammunition across Pistols, Muskets, and Blunderbusses.77Item Info99PropertyValueCategoryAmmoTier2RarityUncommonWeight0.1Stack Size40EffectIncreases Ranged Damage by 10%BallisticsGood1111Crafting1212Iron Bullets are crafted at the Workbench upgraded to level 2. A single Foothills Iron Ingot produces five bullets per craft, so a full stack of 40 costs 8 ingots.1414StationIngredientsOutputDurationWorkbench (Lvl 2)1x Foothills Iron Ingot5x Iron Bullet1s1616Crafting only produces the projectile. Firing any firearm also spends one Homemade Gunpowder charge per shot, so keep a powder stockpile from the Mortar Joe powderman or your own Millstones alongside the bullet supply.1717Where to Get Iron1919Foothills Iron Ingots are smelted from Foothills Iron Ore at a Smelting Furnace. The Foothills biome unlocks after defeating the first Coastal Jungle boss and provides consistent iron access. Routine mining on Foothills islands keeps the iron stockpile ahead of bullet consumption for the mid-game.2121Loot Sources2323Iron Bullets drop from a wider spread of mid-tier chests than Copper. Guaranteed 100% chest caches are concentrated in dungeon and boss POIs, while the 1% chest roll spreads across the recurring camp/ruin chest types.2525Chest drops (guaranteed)2727Where FoundQuantityChanceLocationBuca Def 025100%Buccaneer defense campCj Battle Senkamati Ruins 0112100%Senkamati Ruins battle siteFarm Sacrifice 025100%Sacrificial farmHighlands Boss Arena 0410100%Highlands boss arenaHighlands Dungeon Firebowl 03 23100%Highlands firebowl dungeonHighlands Firebowl 01 710100%Highlands firebowlSea Brig Reefs Undead 01 315100%Undead reef brig2929Chest drops (1% roll)3030Where FoundQuantityChanceLocationBlackbeard Crew Chest101.0%Ancient Fire SanctuaryBlackbeard Crew Chest101.0%Ancient TempleBuccaneers' Chest51.0%Destroyed Buccaneer FortDecrepit Chest151.0%Shipwrecked BrigOld Skeleton51.0%Ancient FarmOld Skeleton31.0%Trial Circle Ruins3232Bullet Tier Comparison3333Iron Bullets sit in the middle of the firearm ammo ladder. The table compares the bullets confirmed in the current build by tier, ballistics rating, and damage modifier so it is clear where the iron tier lands.3535BulletTierBallisticsDamage ModifierCore MaterialStone Bullet1PoorRanged Damage decreased by 20%StoneCopper Bullet1MediocreNo ranged penaltyCopper IngotIron Bullet2GoodRanged Damage increased by 10%Foothills Iron IngotBullet Arborum3GoodCritical-damage focusedIngot Arborum3737Best Used With3838The 10% Ranged Damage bonus applies to every firearm in the player's hands, so Iron Bullets pair well with whichever weapon you already favor. Common pairings:4040Reliable Pistol / Drake's Double-Barreled Pistol, where the accuracy upgrade over Copper turns mid-range shots into reliable finishers.Reliable Musket / Infantry Musket, because long-range musket shots are where Good ballistics matter most.Reliable Blunderbuss for close-range burst, where the flat 10% damage boost stacks across the entire pellet spread.4242When to Upgrade4444Iron Bullets remain competitive across the entire mid-game. Most players only switch up to Bullet Arborum once they reach the Ingot Arborum crafting tier, and even then the switch is typically partial: keep Iron Bullets as the default patrol load and reserve Bullet Arborum for boss openers and elite pirate officer fights where the critical damage bonus pays off.4646See Also4848AmmoStone BulletCopper BulletBullet ArborumGunpowderPistolsMusketsBlunderbusses5050Details5252Properties5454PropertyValueWeight0.1Stack405656Crafted By5757Crafted at: Workbench5959IngredientQuantityFoothills Iron Ingotx16161Unlocked By6262DISCOVERY Iron tools, crafting stations upgrades and larger ship cannonsFoothillsFoothills Iron Ore6464Where Found6666Where FoundDetailWhere FoundQty Chance Locations
