Basic Information

Blood Bullets are crafted with your own blood and can replace Quicksilver Bullets for use in firearms. Press UP to restock a Blood Bullet at the cost of HP, will add +5 bullets. By pressing UP you can create Blood Bullets. At the cost of 30% of your maximum health, you'll make 5 bullets that function just like normal Quicksilver Bullets. You can only hold 5, and you should generally make sure that you have them with you. This will help you build a stockpile of Quicksilver Bullets. Blood Vial refills are not free. Your inventory is replenished from your stock, and you'll need to buy more if you run out! Blood Bullets are especially critical for users of arcane items and weapons that use a lot of bullets, like the Cannon, Flamesprayer, Rosmarinus, and the Repeating Pistol. By using Blood Bullets to offset the cost, you can fire more shots or use more casts. Don't worry about accidentally killing yourself while attempting to make Blood Bullets; your character won't suicide in this way. You won't be able to make bullets, though, if your health is at 30% or less. You also can't make bullets if you already have 5 Blood Bullets. The HP cost of this technique can be used tactically to activate the Poorman gem effect. If your character has a passive health regeneration effect from a Pulsing gem, you can essentially make Blood Bullets for free, though it takes time for your life to recover. The Regain system can also be used to regenerate health exchanged for bullets; if you are confident that you can defeat an enemy without being hit, you can make Blood Bullets just before engaging.
