Load and Manage Different Ammunition Types
Understand Ammunition Compatibility
Different guns accept specific magazine types and ammunition. Check your firearm's stats to see which ammo it supports:
- Standard rounds – basic bullets for general use
- Armor-piercing bullets – penetrate enemy armor effectively
- Explosive rounds – deal area damage on impact
- Incendiary ammo – ignite targets and spread fire
- Rockets – for heavy weapons and launchers
- Lasers – energy-based projectiles for specialized guns
Craft or Find Magazines
Magazines are crafted at the Gun Smithing Table using metal and polymers. Each magazine holds a specific ammo type and capacity. Craft multiple magazines so you can swap them quickly during combat without stopping to reload.
Load Ammunition Into Magazines
Place a magazine and ammunition type into the Gun Smithing Table's magazine loader. The ammo fills the magazine automatically. Once full, the magazine is ready to use.
Swap Magazines in Combat
Press your reload key to eject the current magazine and load a fresh one. Keep several loaded magazines in your inventory for extended firefights. Different ammo types let you adapt—use armor-piercing against armored foes, explosives for groups, and incendiary rounds for tactical advantages.
