Craft Rifle Ammo From Your Inventory

The most consistent way of getting assault rifle ammo is by crafting it from your inventory. You'll need 9 Gunpowder and 1 Resources (L) to craft Rifle Ammo, so always stay alert for these items and pick them up whenever you find them.

Don Diego	Token Machines at Shooting Ranges.	+15% rifle ammo craft bonus frequency.
Dr Salvador	Token Machines at Shooting Ranges.	+20% rifle ammo craft bonus frequency.

You can increase the amount of Rifle Ammo you get from crafting by equipping Charms that have craft bonus frequency perks. Consider fitting at least one of these types of Charms on your Attache Case if you tend to run out of Rifle Ammo.

List of Charms and Charm Perks

Grab Ammo From Drawers and Barrels

Stay alert for breakable barrels, lootable drawers, and open cabinets and tables while venturing through the game. These interactable objects often contain ammo drops and other valuable items for you to pick up.

Loot Ammo From Dead Enemies

Enemies also have a chance of dropping ammo after dying, so don't forget to loot dead foes just in case they have a stack of Rifle Ammo for you to pick up.

How to Save Assault Rifle Ammo

Prioritize Aiming for Enemy Weak Spots

Maximize your assault rifle ammo efficiency by aiming for enemy heads and weak spots instead of recklessly shooting toward their bodies. All Assault and Sniper Rifles have 3x power against weak points, making them excellent for dealing damage toward vital areas.

Use SMGs for Close-Range Spraying

We highly suggest picking up a Submachine Gun for spraying down nearby enemies instead of using Rifles up close. SMGs have an easier time dealing with groups of enemies and have cheaper crafting costs for their ammo, making them the better close-range option.
