Special Ammo (green)

[Noonien]

How do I get the green special ammo ?

[Maxine]

Equip finder mods on helmet, or bless RNG for a drop. If you use other weapons (primary/heavy) there is higher chance for the ammo to drop.

kill stuff. one will drop eventually

Is it that rare ? Didnt have a single drop in 30 hours ....

Hi there!

In order for Special ammo to drop, you need to have a weapon that uses Special ammo equipped. This will be indicated on the weapon itself.

Basically, an Ammo Finder mod on your helm. Yes, it needs to match the weapon type you want the ammo for. Yes, you need to change it if you switch weapons.

Yes, it's tedious.

Killing with your primary weapon has a higher chance to drop secondary ammo, killing with secondary weapon has higher chance to drop heavy ammo

To be clear, you always have a chance for any ammo to drop from any enemy kill (assuming you have a weapon equipped that uses that ammo), certain mods like the helmet ones mentioned just cause it to drop more frequently.

I've seen special ammo drop a lot when using weapons with primary or heavy ammo.
During some strikes, if I've finished a weapon bounty, I'll switch to a non-exotic trace rifle once I see a special weapon drop. The only ammo mods I use are for machine gun and sword ammo. Heavy ammo is what doesn't drop as often although other times on strikes there will be a lot of drops. Too iffy though, which is why I avoid using rocket launchers, heavy ammo grenade launchers, fusion or linear fusion rifles.

Thx at all for info.
Equipped primary green weapon and used melee combat. Green ammo drops regulary, no problem to have it always maxed.
