Ammo in Starfield — consumable items that are necessary for reloading firearms. To survive, you need to shoot enemies, and the lack of ammunition in such cases will lead to quick death. There are many ways to get extra ammo so you won't be left bare-handed.

Where to get ammo in Starfield

You can take it in the open world - there are a sufficient number of places where you can find or get free ammunition, and there are also cheats for ammunition. Next, we will consider each possible option.

Inspect the bodies of opponents

Check the loot of killed enemies, especially if they were shot by cannons. Most likely, they have unspent ammunition lying around in their pockets, which they will definitely not need now. In addition to ammunition, you can find a lot of other useful things, so never forget to search the dead.

Steal

If you pump skill "Theft" [Theft], then you can sneak up on NPCs from behind and steal their tros and bags. Be careful not to get caught, otherwise you will have to pay a fine. To avoid being checked for contraband, you need to shell out even more credits.

Explore the open world

In many locations, especially in all kinds of shelters and warehouses, a lot of ammunition is stored. Search every corner so as not to lose sight of interesting things. The most precious loot is usually hidden behind locks and safes, so try to check them too.

To get the maximum amount of ammo when looting, you need to invest points in the skill "Garbage Collection" [Scavenging]. At rank 2, it makes it possible to find additional ammunition when searching containers.
