Ammo Management Tips:

  • Conserve for Tougher Enemies: Don't waste powerful ammo (Tesla, Life Leech, Napalm, Voodoo Doll) on weak enemies. Save them for Fanatics, Cultist Priests, Gargoyles, and bosses.
  • Use Quick Kick: For Rats, Hands, and weak Zombies, the Quick Kick is your best friend for ammo conservation.
  • Switch Weapons: If you're low on ammo for your primary weapon, switch to another weapon with a different ammo type. Don't be afraid to use the Flare Gun or Tommy Gun more frequently.
  • Prioritize Ammo Pickups: Always pick up ammo, even if you're not currently using that weapon. You never know when you'll need it.
  • Seek Secrets: Secrets often contain large caches of rare and powerful ammunition, which can be a game-changer.
  • Reload Strategically: For the Tommy Gun, reload when you have a moment of peace, not in the middle of a firefight.

Effective ammo management is a skill that improves with practice. Always be aware of your current reserves and plan your engagements accordingly.
