Quick Tips
- Keep an eye on the weight – lugging around too much ammo, especially heavier rifle rounds, can really slow you down. Prioritize what you'll actually use.
- Some weapons can be modified to accept different ammo types. Check your weapon mods carefully!
- Batteries for the Gauss Rifle are expensive and rare, so make sure you don't waste shots.
- The OG-7V warhead is for the RPG-7u, a heavy hitter. Make sure you have the launcher before you go hunting for these.
- Don't forget that some ammo types, like the 9x19 mm FJM and 9x19 mm JHP, might be more expensive but offer better performance. Weigh the cost against the benefit for your playstyle.
- You can buy batteries from merchants, but they're pricey. Stock up when you can afford it.
