Cyberpunk 2077

A genuine question for non-melee users: how do you deal with running out of ammo when fighting Maxtac and NCPD?


Melee V here. Can’t imagine fighting high level enemies for a long period of time with the rate at which submachine guns in this game burns ammo.

    For up close and personal, I’ve always preferred the shotgun. I’ve never been a fan of the SMGs as they do burn ammo quickly, for that matter any of the automatic weapons do.

    Ranged v here. I don’t run out. Simple as

  3. Zestyclose-Fee6719

    My two favorite guns have 999 bullets in them right now. Running out is pretty damn hard after the 2.0 changes.

  4. i just don’t fight maxtac lol, also rarely fight ncpd for more than a single cop or two (usually accidentally aggro)

    Why would I be fighting MaxTac or NCPD? I’m a sophisticated mercenary for hire, not a street thug.

    I only fight Maxtac during that one mission when you save Zane from that cyberpsycho in his store. Besides I never run out of ammo because I always have the materials to craft more.

    Contagion and generally being high up in a pigeon coop.

    When I did an lmg ricochet build (some of the most fun I’ve has in this game) I had to craft maximum ammo for every gun after every fight.

    Outside of that, you basically always pick up more than you use. If you are struggling, make sure your weapons call for multiple ammo types.

    Throwing knives, pistols, Headsman shotgun, Electric PLS….I’m basically a one man nuclear reactor

    Rocket wrist launcher. Takes a group out till I can run.

  11. Dismal-Infection

    I’m trying a non melee build my current playthrough. I regret it

  12. TheJackalsDay

    I don’t think I’ve ever come close to running out of ammo. I’ve never even purchased ammo in the game before.

  13. Hexx-Bombastus

    I don’t fight ncpd and maxtac. I’m not a cyberpsycho.

  14. ClockworkDreamz

    I’ve played the game multiple times and never ended up doing anything to caught their attention.

    Always keep weapons you don’t main, only because they have extra pools of ammo.

    Use grenades.

    Break out your melee as a last resort.

    My first playthrough i spent so much time checking for ammo boxes, visiting gun shops, crafting ammo.

    This time around I’m having so much fun with throwing knives, katana, and monowire!

    Having a cyberware that slows down time and being able to hack a suicide, cripple or short circuit is awesome and gives me time to go in for the lethal blow.

    I just don’t run out and I loot everything, it’s a compulsion, bullets can be flying but I’ve still got to loot that corpse or I might forget about it later. Plus I generally don’t get into shenanigans with Maxtac or NCPD. Got cornered by Millitech out in the badlands once while looking for cyberpsychos and that turned real bad real quick though

    I’ve never run out of ammo even on the more difficult settings, I also use mono wire or gorilla arms for melee if I don’t have a melee weapon equipped.

    Corrupt NCPD mod is a beautiful thing

    I don’t understand, what do you mean “run out oof ammo”?

  21. littletrainthattried

    You run out of ammo?
    Pistol, rifle, shotgun, cycle between all three and cake…
    Till I get stuck trying to double jump over a burned out suv and get killed.

  22. AnxiousPineapple3455

    I have never fought against Max Tac (after 2.0 patch), I’m a Cyberpsycho sometimes but I always run to avoid NCPD in general.

  23. ElectricSheep112219

    I’m like 1-2 headshot kills with a pistol… I never run out

  24. Jonr1138

    I just stock up on shotgun ammo and go to town with Guts.

  25. ItsSevii

    I don’t run out of ammo but if I did I’d throw knives

  26. Common-Challenge-555

    Netrunner Technical here. I tend to use a smart shotgun. I’ve definitely crafted shells ducking into a corner before when I’ve ran out. Keep the opponents busy with a few quickhacks if I have too.

  27. CDRDigBick

    Tsunami sniper rifle from the DLC absolutley shreds

  28. toaster_stroodle69

    I have never ran out of ammo in my 4 playthroughs, I just about loot everything I see.

  29. playboiferina

    Headshot everyone with pistols or revolvers so you don’t burn through bullets

  30. dogmaisb

    I’m a LMG boi (thanks Kurt) so what is this “running out of ammo” thing you’re talking about?

  31. JACKtheGRINNER

    I mow them down with a my weaponized car.

  32. elIndividuo

    You could just craft ammo, if you run out of ammo then try to go to a safe zone or hide

  33. Mikopsid

    You can run over killed enemies to instantly collect ammo. It’s a little known fact that’s super helpful.

  34. Silent_Reavus

    Lmao running out of ammo in this game

    You’d have to be actively trying

    And this is coming from someone who puts a bunch of fire rate enhancements on the Problem Solver lol. That thing DEVOURS ammo but pickups still get me through fights just fine
