Unload Weapon to Take the Ammo

Unload Weapon in Inventory

Weapons being sold to a Trader will automatically have their ammo unloaded to you.

Most of the time, it's best to unload and take ammo from broken weapons. Unless you plan on making the trek back to Rostok to sell them to Ragman, keeping broken weapons in your inventory will lead you to getting encumbered so it is advisable to leave them behind.

To unload a weapon, select the item you wish to unload in your inventory, then select the corresponding Unload button. You can also unload dropped weapons by approaching them and then holding down the Unload button when prompted.
