Stalker 2: Deal With The Devil Guide
Players have a few choices in the Deal with the Devil mission in Stalker 2. Here’s the breakdown of how it all plays out.
How To Get More Ammo in Stalker 2
There are a few different ways to get ammo, including looting corpses and stashes, breaking ammo boxes, and even trading in Stalker 2.
Loot Corpses and Unload Enemy Guns
One of the best ways to get ammo is to unload ammo from guns you find, including enemy guns in Stalker 2. So, when you’re done killing all enemies, you can hover over their guns and press G on the keyboard to unload them. Alternatively, you can right-click the gun and select “Unload” from the menu. This action transfers any ammo loaded in the gun directly into the inventory.
Besides this, you can also loot the enemy corpses to collect any ammo they may have in their inventory. There’s a good chance the fallen have a decent stock of ammo, so don’t forget to loot their inventories when you’re done killing them.
You can also unload guns already in your inventory or those found lying on the ground the same way to get extra ammo when you’re in a clutch.
Loot Stashes
Another reliable way to get more ammo is to loot stashes and check all the safes, boxes, and backpacks you find. Regularly check your map and search for nearby Stashes you can loot. This is a good habit to practice because by doing so, you’ll maintain a healthy supply of ammo.
Break Ammo Boxes
When you’re exploring the Zone, you’ll often come across green breakable boxes. These boxes may contain ammo, but you’ll first need to break them to get the contents inside. You can break ammo boxes with your melee weapon.
Trade
Lastly, you can also buy ammo from traders located in base camps. These traders carry different ammo types, making them a good option when your supplies are running low. However, it’s a good idea to prioritize spending your money on weapon and armor upgrades in Stalker 2, as ammo can be found while thoroughly exploring the Zone.
