The latest installment of this action series incorporates firearm mechanics, though prioritize conserving rounds for hostile survivors rather than the undead. Securing bullets in a collapsed world demands strategy—below are effective methods.
Locating ammunition
Three primary avenues exist for acquiring bullets:
- Purchasing from merchants
- Scavenging from defeated armed foes
- Exploring abandoned military vehicles
While merchants offer instant access, their pricing strains resources without substantial loot to trade. Engaging gun-wielding enemies becomes viable mid-campaign but yields minimal returns—often expending as many rounds as gained.
Military transports prove most rewarding, containing premium weapons and medical supplies alongside ammunition. While breaching these requires melee combat, preserving firearm resources makes this worthwhile. Note that convoy difficulty escalates with story progression.
During the Precious Cargo mission, securing an armory container unlocks recurring ammunition shipments at settlement hubs. Story choices here influence reward frequency—selfish decisions may yield greater supplies but damage faction relations.
