GTA 5: How To Buy Ammo - Game Rant

Grand Theft Auto 5 has a large selection of guns to purchase and use across a variety of mission types. While each gun uses a specific form of ammunition, it is important that players are properly stocked for every encounter possibility. Grand Theft Auto 5 gives a variety of options when it comes to restocking ammo, as long as the player has the cash to pay for it.

Gunplay is a central theme of Grand Theft Auto 5 alongside its criminal and racing elements. Players will frequently find themselves in a firefight, and if loaded into online play, it may not even be their fault. GTA 5 guns will deplete on ammo when used frequently, making it vitally important that players restock whenever given the chance.

One major advantage that Grand Theft Auto 5 has is the ability to ammo share. Despite there being several weapons in the game, some guns can share a collective pool of ammunition, allowing players to restock the pool rather than every single gun. While most weapons come with a full clip and some additional ammo, players can stockpile a huge amount of bullets, provided they can pay for their investment. Do note that grenades, flares, and similar throwable items will cost more than the average magazine.

How To Buy Ammo

Grand Theft Auto 5 gives players several options when it comes to purchasing ammo within the game. When offline and in the main campaign, players' main source of ammunition will be local Ammunation stores. These are the same locations that players will use to purchase and modify weapons, and players can buy ammo at these stores.

To purchase the ammo, players will need to first talk to the store owner and start the transaction menu. Once there, simply select a weapon and scroll to the option of buying ammunition. Each GTA weapon type will require players to select an appropriate gun, but once there, they can purchase as much ammo as they can pay for.

Alternatively, players can also purchase ammo through the interaction menu. By activating the interaction menu, players can navigate to inventory and select ammo. Once there, simply scroll through the weapons and purchase ammo remotely. Players will still need to select the weapon category to prompt the correct GTA 5 ammo type they are wanting to purchase.

As a final option, players can always call in Merryweather to deliver them an ammo box. Simply call them, place the flare, and watch the ammo box descend with a randomized burst of ammunition. This is good for last-minute preparation before entering a job if players want a more in-game style of shopping.
