Players
When a player is killed or detained by the Disarmer, they will drop their ammunition alongside their weapons/items. This allows for efficient kills to net the attacker ammo to continue fighting.
A player can obtain ammo if another player gives up some of their own by using a Weapon Manager Tablet to drop packets of any ammo type they choose as long as they have enough to make a full packet.
Armories
The Armory in the Light Containment Zone can provide a few 9mm and 7.62mm pickups.
Lockers
Weapon Locker Type 21 can provide multiple pickups of all ammo types. The MTF-E11-SR Rack only provides 5 5.56mm ammo pickups.
Trivia
- Many of the weapons in the game use different calibers than they do in real life, e.g. the Logicer (Based on the Stoner LMG styles) actually uses 5.56x45 NATO.
