Armor Piercing Rounds

What it does

Your bullets have a large chance to become unavoidable — piercing enemies and ignoring their bullet resist entirely.

Numbers: 55% proc chance; +60% Bullet Velocity, +8% Weapon Damage

Gotchas

The mechanics people most often get wrong about this item.

• Procced bullets bypass bullet evasion and damage barriers, and are not stopped by Plated Armor
• Cannot damage fully invincible enemies and cannot bypass Vyper's Petrify (Apr 2026)
• When the proc bypasses resist, bullet-resist shred becomes additive rather than diminishing

Problems it answers

• Unkillable frontline — “I cannot kill their tank.”
