Mastering Starfield: Unlock Infinite Ammo with These Expert Tips

Starting Starfield can be overwhelming due to the various combat and inventory mechanics that need to be mastered. Beginners often struggle to acquire more ammo, as it depletes rapidly and is scarce in the initial missions.

Having an ample supply of ammo is crucial in Starfield since formidable adversaries like Space Pirates, creatures, or other enemies are frequently present. Players are left questioning where they can purchase additional ammo and where it can be found while exploring the game's vast landscape.

Where To Find Ammo In Starfield Missions And Exploration

Initially starting Starfield, players may quickly exhaust their ammo supply, leading them to frantically scavenge corpses in search of additional weapons. Thankfully, players have the option to utilize the Cutter mining tool as a means to confront enemies in the absence of ammunition. However, until players are able to purchase more ammo, it is advisable for them to actively seek out ammo cases, containers, and loot from corpses for replenishment.

Furthermore, it is important to note that in Starfield, ammunition can primarily be obtained through looting and purchasing, as the option to craft ammo does not currently exist. Enhancing the Scavenging skill, which falls within Starfield's social skills, to level 2 also presents players with a greater opportunity to discover ammo when exploring containers. While the purchase of ammunition can prevent ammo shortages during field missions, it remains a query as to which type of ammo proves to be the most advantageous choice.

Where To Buy Ammo In Starfield

Once players arrive in Jemison, located in the Alpha Centauri system of New Atlantis, they have the opportunity to explore various locations. One of the primary places of interest is the Centaurian Arsenal, known for its vast selection of ammunition. In order to stockpile different types of ammo, players can conveniently purchase them from multiple vendors scattered across the city. Notably, the Trade Authority and UC Surplus located in The Well, MAST District, are two reliable options for acquiring ammunition in New Atlantis.

UC Distribution Center (Commercial District).

Jemison Mercantile (near the Security bay entrance).

Centaurian Arsenal (Residential District).

Players can conveniently purchase ammunition in large quantities, making it advisable to stock up on a variety of types to prevent running out. Unfortunately, the default setting is to purchase the highest available volume, requiring players to manually adjust the cursor to purchase smaller amounts. Moreover, scattered across various planets in Starfield, players can find several vendors where they can procure ammunition, including Rowland Arms in Akila City and Neon Tactical in Neon.

Starfield Ammo Types Explained

When purchasing ammunition in Starfield, it is important to take note of the ammo type for each weapon. This can be found in the top-right corner when viewing the weapon inventory under 'Ammo.' This valuable information not only informs players about the specific ammunition required for each weapon but also provides details about other weapon statistics such as magazine size. To simplify matters, there are certain firearms like the Eon Pistol and the Grendel rifle that share the same ammo type, streamlining the gameplay experience.

In order to use certain weapons, such as the Equinox Laser rifle, players need to acquire specific rounds known as 3KV LZR. Therefore, it is imperative for players to ensure that they purchase the corresponding ammo box with the exact same name to replenish their ammunition. To avoid the possibility of mistakenly buying the wrong type, players should carefully note the specific ammo they require before making a purchase. Additionally, it is advisable to obtain as much ammo as possible due to its limited duration.

Starfield is available now on Xbox Series X/S and PC.
