Ammo types in The First Descendant

Weapons and weapon types in The First Descendant are divided into four distinct ammo types: General, Special, Impact, and High-Power. You’ve got three weapon slots for your Descendant, and while it sounds cool to equip three High-Power launchers and demolish the battlefield, you’re quickly going to find yourself short of ammo.

Equipped weapons with the same ammo type share from the same ammo pool, so if you run dry of the ammo, you’ll be down to one weapon. It’s highly recommended to use three different ammo types across your weapons, with at least one a High-Power weapon.

Here’s a list of each weapon type and which ammo it uses in The First Descendant.
