SinceAtomfallis set in a post-disaster northern England, ammo and resources are scarce. While rusty pistols and shotguns will be easy to find in the early hours, getting ammo to go in those guns can be a big challenge.

Therefore, you’ll need to head out into the world to get as much ammo as you can. There are a couple of reliable ways to get some, so that you don’t have to worry too much about using all of the bullets you’re carrying. Somehow, it seems enemies will always have more ammo than you when in fights.

Trading for ammo in Atomfall.

Get Ammo From Traders

The most reliable way to get ammo is toget it from traders. You won’t be able to buy it from them. Instead, you’ll need toswap some items in your inventory for the ammo you need.

Traders' inventories will change over time, so you can’t be sure they’ll be carrying the ammo you need at the time. You may need tospeak to a few different traders to secure the ammo you’re after.

As with any trade in Atomfall, you’ll need tomake sure that the value of the items you’re offering is equal to or greater than the value of the items you want.

One smart option when trading for ammo is to trade the ammo you need for ammo you’re currently carrying but don’t need. That’ll make the balance easy to achieve.

Looting

The other way to get ammo in Atomfall is less reliable. You will be able toloot it from bodies or from hidden placesaround the world. While you may find ammo boxes in corners of rooms, getting it by looting dead people is easier.

Whether you’ve killed them or just stumbled across their body, loot them and take any ammo they’re carrying. You shouldtake any ammo they have, whether it’s the kind of ammo you’re after or not.
