Maximize Armor Penetration Against Heavily Armored Enemies

Identify Armor-Piercing Ammunition

Hover over bullets in your inventory to read their stats. Armor-piercing rounds have high penetration values and are designed to punch through enemy protection. These bullets sacrifice some raw damage for the ability to ignore armor.

Craft Penetration-Focused Rounds

Visit the Gun Smith Table and craft armor-piercing ammunition. These rounds cost more materials than standard bullets but are essential for heavily armored foes. Check the tooltip to confirm penetration stats before committing resources.

Load Strategic Magazines

For encounters with armored enemies, fill your magazine primarily with armor-piercing rounds. If you expect mixed threats, load armor-piercing bullets in the middle or end of your magazine sequence, saving them for when standard rounds fail.

Choose the Right Weapon

Some weapons are better suited for penetration roles. Rifles and precision weapons typically benefit most from armor-piercing ammunition. Pair high-penetration bullets with weapons that have good accuracy to ensure your shots connect where they matter.
