When to buy Heavy Bullets
Consider purchasing Heavy Bullets if you're using characters like Saver or Explorer, especially if you have high Ranged Damage and can afford the trade-off in Attack Speed and Crit Chance. It pairs well with items that enhance your survivability or further increase damage.
When to skip Heavy Bullets
Skip Heavy Bullets if your build relies on high Attack Speed or Crit Chance, as the penalties can hinder your overall DPS, especially for characters that benefit from rapid-fire mechanics.

Sailor
3 builds
Heavy Bullets is tailor-made for Blunderbuss-centric Sailor: it piles on Ranged Damage and generic Damage with extra Range, which more than compensates for the Attack Speed and crit penalties in a non-crit build.
One Armed
2 builds
Adds both flat Ranged Damage and % Damage, which scale extremely well with One Armed's passive, and the extra Range is very helpful for launcher and SMG setups.
Well Rounded
2 builds
Heavy Bullets offers a large amount of flat Ranged Damage which massively increases SMG and shotgun output, especially in the late game where you need to burst down elites and bosses quickly.
