Ammo Can Still Be Crafted

Cyberpunk - craftable ammo

Instead of buying ammo from vendors, you can craft them yourself in the Crafting menu using Tier 1 Item Components, which you can get by looting or dismantling Tier-1 weapons. This way, you can save eddies while also gaining points for the Engineer skill and unlock passive bonuses and Perk points!
