Alright, let's talk about ammo in Quake III Arena. You're gonna need it, unless you get fragged super fast. Eventually, you'll run dry, and that's where ammo boxes come in. Each one is color-coded for a specific weapon, and knowing which is which will keep you in the fight. Some green boxes look alike, but there are markings to tell them apart.

Here's the rundown on what each ammo box gives you:

COLOUR AMMO WEAPON AMOUNT
Yellow Bullets Machine Gun x50
Red Rockets Rocket Launcher x05
Green Grenade Grenade Launcher x05
Green Slugs RailGun x10
Blue Bfg ammo BFG 10K x15
Pink Cells Pulse Gun x30
Orange Shells Shotgun x10
White Lightning Lightning Gun x60

Keep an eye on those markings, especially on the green boxes, to make sure you're grabbing the right ammo for the job. Running out at the wrong moment is a quick way to get fragged!
