    Making sure that actors don't move, have unchecked "Movable"

    Timers can be a big drain on Ram.

    If your talking about replicate behavior for the bullets, you dont want to do that because any of the replicated copies wont have collision detection. I think you mean recycle the bullets so your not constantly spawning and destroying them.

    Also anything that stays invisible, uncheck visible under its graphics attributes.

    Uncheck preload art on the actors that use different images.
