Hi all,

Wondering how to buy various types of specific calibers in the Ammo Locker. I've found other people talking about this on the forums but could find a definitive answer except for: get it from Duke in the missions screen.

I'm saving my mission credits for something else so I won't use them to buy ammo from Duke. Further, being locked into only trading mission credits for whatever ammo type Duke has available at the time seems very restricting.

Surely there's a way to buy these various types from the Ammo Locker, no? Any direction gratefully received.

Gun Shop
3 star Surplus Random special ammunition (25 job points)

Firework Stand
10 star Inferno Random incendiary ammunition (50 job points)

So currently it is just from missions.

Yeah it is very restricting but currently the only way of obtaining anything that isn't standard ammunition.

You can also buy different ammo types with Mission Points

Are the different ammo types worth getting? How much of an impact do they have or is it too soon to tell?

Thanks for the responses :)

To our lovely devs: I'd like to cast my vote for the ability to purchase different ammo types from the ammo locker sometime in the future.

it would also be nice if we had some idea of the effect / effectiveness of each of the different types

Hollow point - Damage is increased but armor penetration is decreased (probably lose damage using this ammo, everyone uses armor so this is pretty worthless)
Tracer - Accuracy is increased
Piercing - Armor penetration is increased
Incendiary - Damage is increased

as well the companies were coded in as well as BAG stock gives random ammo as well so ammo is a little easier to get now just that it's all random. no idea the actually effectiveness yet. ill probably do an extensive guide on it in the future.
