Ammunition items

Ammunition items are consumable items fired by ranged weapons. To fire a weapon that requires ammunition, a compatible ammunition type must be present in the player's inventory. The ammunition will be taken from the first stack of suitable ammunition, checked in the following order: The four dedicated ammo slots of the inventory from top to bottom, then the main inventory from the top row (hotbar) to the bottom row, going from left to right within each row.

Each type of ammunition adds its damage, velocity, and knockback to the base value of the weapon that fires it. Damage bonuses also apply to the damage of bullets and arrows. Some weapons, armor, accessories, and buffs offer a chance for each shot to "conserve" ammo, firing a shot as usual without consuming the ammunition. If multiple such items and/or buffs are active, their respective chances to conserve ammo are combined.

Ammo conservation

By default, every item of ammo fired will be consumed, i.e. removed from the player's inventory. There are certain items, however, that add a chance to prevent consuming the item, effectively conserving ammo occasionally. Note that you can't have an ammo conservation chance of more than 99.99%. The following items have a chance not to consume ammo:

Weapons

Item	Chance
Bone Glove (only on )	33.33*1/3 (33.33%)
Vortex Beater	66.67*2/3 (66.67%)
Celebration Mk2	50*1/2 (50%)
Phantasm	66.67*2/3 (66.67%)
Candy Corn Rifle	33.33*1/3 (33.33%)
Minishark	33.33*1/3 (33.33%)
Gatligator	50*1/2 (50%)
Megashark	50*1/2 (50%)
Chain Gun	50*1/2 (50%)
S.D.M.G.	66.67*2/3 (66.67%) / 50*1/2 (50%)

Other items

Item	Chance
Magic Quiver(for arrows only)	20*1/5 (20%)
Ammo Box	20*1/5 (20%)
Ammo Reservation Potion	20*1/5 (20%)
Chlorophyte Helmet	20*1/5 (20%)
Shroomite Breastplate or Red Riding Dress (only on ) or Ninja armor(set bonus) (only on ) or Fossil armor(set bonus) or Cobalt armor(set bonus) with Mask or Mythril armor(set bonus) with Hat	20*1/5 (20%)
Vortex Breastplate or Adamantite armor(set bonus) with Mask or	25*1/4 (25%)
Crystal Assassin Shirt or Huntress's Jerkin (only on ) or	10*1/10 (10%)

Ways of getting to max

The easiest (or the way that does not heavily depend on the weapon you are using) way to get to the ammo conservation cap is using the Ammo Box, Ammo Reservation Potion, Chlorophyte Helmet, Shroomite Breastplate, and any bow/gun/rocket launcher that has a ammo conservation chance, since none of them are below 20%.

Ammo conservation effects are treated as non-mutually exclusive events, calculated with the following formula:

For example, using a Minishark () with an Ammo Box () results in a total chance of (46.67% not to consume ammo):

The highest conservation possible is attainable by using a Phantasm with a Magic Quiver, an Ammo Box, an Ammo Reservation Potion, a Vortex Breastplate and a Chlorophyte Helmet. It amounts to 89.8%, which means that, on average, only 102 out of 1000 arrows will be consumed.

Tips

• Using armor that conserves ammo will also conserve the solutions (ammo) for the Clentaminator when worn.
• The following ammo items do not automatically get placed into the ammo slots. If the player is running low on inventory space and still has ammo slots open, these items can be placed there to conserve space.

• Wire
• Coins(can be placed in coin slots)
• Fallen Star
• Ale
• Gel
• Bone (only on )
• Any Bait
