High-Velocity Rounds
passive Strong evidence When to buy High-Velocity Rounds High-Velocity Rounds +45% Bullet Velocity +8% Weapon Damage
Buy on heroes with slow bullets (under 275 m/s) fighting mobile or long-range opponents, where the extra Bullet Velocity cuts how far ahead each shot has to be led.
When to skip High-Velocity Rounds
Least useful on guns that are already fast (600 m/s or more), whose shots arrive almost at once without it; there the 8% Weapon Damage is most of what you pay for.
Problems it answers
- Long-range poke — “I get chipped down before the fight even starts.”
- Gap closers and escapes — “They reach me whenever they want and leave when they want.”
