The fewer you carry, the more ammo you have for that one. There are execeptions to this as there do seem to be predetermined loot drops (you always get a line rack pack in Chapter 3's lift after the stasis door) but for the most part, the game tailors its drops to your weapons. In particular elite crawlers are annoying as you have to spend 6 bullets to shoot off all 3 tentacles.Īlso, by only using one weapon, you ensure that all ammo drops are for that weapon i.e if you only carry the plasma cutter you will only get majority plasma ammo. The only area where it can struggle is against large amounts of elite necromorphs, as it takes an extra 6 or so shots max to kill them, and they are most common in packs.

Here is my recommendation:-First, Max the DMG on the PC (accomplished two things: quicker enemy kills AND doubles your avaialbe ammo supply, in effect anyway). One of the only guns you can go positive ammo on without buying extra rounds at shops (though I do recommend having at least 2 extra stacks.) saikamagoichi (008) Max the damage on the Cutter, then max your HP, then max your capacity on the Cutter, then max your stasis. Maybe one extra shot if you mess up.Įach enemy has a chance to drop 6 bullets. Even on max difficulty, the plasma cutter kills in 4 shots on normal enemies: Two to the legs, then two to an arm.
