Question about ammo

[Master's kittykat]

hi! i am a newish player in this type of game and i have a question about the types of ammo. I am at the point of the story were i am fighting the level 60 tree guy boss. When it comes to ammo, is it better for me to craft the Tungsten AP Ammo or is the regular Tungsten good enough? Thanks in advance for the advice <3

If you're in a team plain Tungsten(make a lot) should be fine, and a back up of Tungsten AP (with the buffs according to your build).

Depends on your build and base damage output....but generally I tend to just use normal steel unless it's pro mode/end boss and even then if the build is good it's generally not worth wasting tungsten and acid to craft better ammo than steel imho. That's just my opinion though...

What these gentlemen said, currently the damage increase is not worth the resources crafting AP ammo uses. As for ammo that you should use on the regular, go for tungsten if you can afford it, otherwise use steel which is also good enough.

Man I used to just make do with steel, then I started doing a passive acid farm and mined a lot of tungsten ores with the canned seafood buff + solar drill. Now I only use tungsten for runs(I make sure I'm carry at least 14k+ Tungsten LMG ammos, 6k tungsten rifle, 8k tungsten shotgun and 7k Tungsten SR ammo) and for farmin/relooting I just use steel, which is below 1k and it ok. When your server is at the 5th week, you just gotta use everything up.

The spec for crafting double regular ammo is also very helpful for end game since it makes your ore go twice as far for tungsten ammo.
I got lucky and also managed to get the spec that allows me to craft stardust source from the ore and mixed fuel, so I have a stockpile of tungsten AP that I use for pro mode bosses/prime wars.
If you can get both of those, then tungsten and AP ammo becomes much easier to keep up with.
