Dealing with Ammo Shortage

Crafting Ammo Medicine

Crafting

If you're low on ammo, you can craft more using specific materials. Items like "Gunpowder" and other "ingredients" can either be purchased from merchants or found by defeating enemies and breaking wooden crates.

Obtaining Ammo by Defeating Enemies with a Knife

 Knife

When you're out of ammo, using a knife is a viable way to defeat enemies and obtain ammo drops. Defeating enemies can yield various types of ammo and crafting materials, such as "Gunpowder." Aim to defeat enemies with a knife to gather these drops.

Advancing by Ignoring Enemies

Ignoring Enemies

If you're overwhelmed by enemies and can't defeat them all with a knife or other means, it's advisable to ignore them and move forward. Along the way, you may find ammo or crafting materials in wooden crates or other containers. Some enemies are not essential to defeat, so running past them can be a strategic move.

Tips to Conserve Ammo

Aim for Headshots and Use Melee Attacks

Melee

To conserve ammo, aim for enemies' weak points, usually the head, and follow up with melee attacks. This technique allows you to defeat enemies using less ammo. If melee attacks aren't possible, aiming for the weak point is still beneficial as it maximizes damage per shot.

Switch Between Multiple Weapons

Multiple Weapons

Utilize different types of weapons to make the most of the ammo you find. Carrying a variety of weapons allows you to use different ammo types, helping you conserve your supplies.

Use Environmental Hazards like Explosives

Stage Gadgets

Certain stages feature explosive objects that can be shot to deal damage to enemies. Make sure to use these to your advantage, as they can quickly eliminate multiple foes.

How to Obtain Ammo

Scavenge the Environment

Pick Up from the Map

Ammo can be found in wooden crates or on shelves scattered throughout the map. Always pick it up when you see it, as running out of ammo puts you at a combat disadvantage.

Crafting Ammo

Craft Ammo
