The Zone of Stalker 2 is full of threats. So, running out of bullets during a fight can be deadly. To avoid this, learning to collect and manage ammunition effectively is a priority. Here are the ways to collect Ammo:

  • The simplest way to get Ammo in Stalker 2 is to loot enemies. There is a chance that every fallen bandit or mutant will carry a weapon. You can just unload their firearms and transfer the Ammo into your inventory. To unload, hover over the gun and hit G on your keyboard or LT on your controller. Another way to unload is to right-click on the gun and select unload.
  • Besides, scattered stashes are excellent sources of Ammo. You should check your map regularly and find nearby stashes to collect more Ammo.
  • Another way to get Ammo is Trading. You need to interact with traders to see if they have the Ammo you need. Dedicated traders, like Hamster in Zalissya, usually have a larger supply of Ammo. Also, you can focus on areas where guns using specific Ammo types are common. This will increase your chances of finding what you need. For example, the Lesser Zone is rich in 9x19mm Ammo because of the prevalence of Viper-5 weapons.
  • Switching to a lower Ammo-consuming strategy can also help to store resources. You can try using pistols for minor threats and switch rifles to single-shot mode to avoid wasting bullets.

Use of Ammo in Stalker 2

In Stalker 2, Ammo allows you to engage enemies such as bandits and mutants effectively. Without Ammo, your weapons are useless, leaving you defenseless among the dangers of the Zone. However, different types of Ammo suit different weapons. So, make sure to carry the correct ammunition.

Now, certain types of Ammo are more effective against specific enemies, which gives you a tactical advantage. You can also use Ammo in crafting and upgrading weapons. These improvements can make your arsenal more efficient and save bullets during combat.
