Sticking to melee weapons is an efficient way to save ammo. You obtain the first melee weapon early on in the game while exploring Eastern South Vale.

Aim for the Head

Aiming for Head
A well-placed shot to the head can knock an enemy off-balance, creating opportunities for you to get in close and deal additional damage with your melee weapons. If you manage to knock them off their feet, you can finish off enemies with some stomps to save more ammo.

How to Stomp

Sneak Past Enemies

Sneaking Past an Enemy

You can also save up on ammo by sneaking past enemies and avoiding combat altogether. Doing this can also help you save other resources like Health Drinks.
