Ammunition items

Ammunition items are consumable items fired by ranged weapons. To fire a weapon that requires ammunition, a compatible ammunition type must be present in the player's inventory. The ammunition will be taken from the first stack of suitable ammunition, checked in the following order: The four dedicated ammo slots of the inventory from top to bottom, then the main inventory from the top row (hotbar) to the bottom row, going from left to right within each row.

Each type of ammunition adds its damage, velocity, and knockback to the base value of the weapon that fires it. Damage bonuses also apply to the damage of bullets and arrows. Some weapons, armor, accessories, and buffs offer a chance for each shot to "conserve" ammo, firing a shot as usual without consuming the ammunition. If multiple such items and/or buffs are active, their respective chances to conserve ammo are combined.

Ammo conservation

Main article: Ammo conservation

By default, every item of ammo fired will be consumed, i.e. removed from the player's inventory. There are certain items, however, that add a chance to prevent consuming the item, effectively conserving ammo occasionally.

Tips

• The following ammo items do not automatically get placed into the ammo slots. If the player is running low on inventory space and still has ammo slots open, these items can be placed there to conserve space.

• Wire
• Coins(can be placed in coin slots)
• Fallen Star
• Ale
• Gel
• Bone (only on )
• Any Bait
