TaCZ Caliber Ammo Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I start using this mod after installing it?
Hover over any weapon in your inventory to see which bullet calibers it accepts, then hover over bullets to check their stats. Head to a Gun Smith Table to craft the ammo types you want, load them into a magazine, and equip the weapon—each shot will fire with that bullet's unique stats.
Can I really mix different bullet types in one magazine?
Yes, you can load multiple different bullet types into a single magazine, and the gun will fire each one with its own stats as you shoot. This lets you create custom firing sequences like starting with armor-piercing rounds and switching to hollow-point for unarmored targets without reloading.
What's the difference between hollow-point and armor-piercing ammo?
Hollow-point bullets deal high damage to unarmored targets but struggle against armor, while armor-piercing rounds punch through enemy protection easily but may deal less raw damage. Choose based on what you're fighting—use armor-piercing for heavily protected enemies and hollow-point for lightly armored or unarmored foes.
How do I know which bullets fit in my gun?
Hover your mouse over any weapon in your inventory and the tooltip will show exactly which bullet calibers and sizes it accepts. The Gun Smith Table will also only let you craft ammo compatible with weapons you own.
I loaded the wrong bullets into my magazine—how do I get them back?
Open the gun modification screen, find your loaded magazine, and press the unload button to eject all bullets back into your inventory sorted by type. This lets you reorganize your ammo without losing anything.
Do I need to craft every single bullet type or can I find ammo?
You craft all bullet types at the Gun Smith Table using materials—stronger bullets cost more resources. There's no natural ammo drops, so crafting is your only source.
What does recoil do and how does it affect different bullets?
Each bullet has its own recoil stat that affects how much the gun kicks when you fire it. Hover over bullets to see their recoil values; lighter rounds have less recoil while heavy or powerful rounds kick harder.
Are there any special ammo types beyond standard bullets?
Yes, the mod includes special signal flares that light up the sky, burn in mid-air, and continue glowing where they land, giving you utility options beyond pure combat ammo.
Does this mod add clutter to my inventory?
No, the mod uses hidden data on existing items to avoid adding new inventory clutter while still giving you 207 unique ammo types across 37 different calibers.
Can I use buckshot in weapons other than shotguns?
Buckshot shells are designed for shotguns and fire multiple pellets that hit independently for close-range combat. Only shotguns accept buckshot caliber, so you can't load it into rifles or pistols.
